After the villain was defeated, she still had power in the government

He has already pointed out Shi Zhen's identity. Who dares to stand up and testify? Who dares to offend him?

Fu Yutang was waiting for these words. He raised his hand, pointed at the people around him, and said with a slightly curved brow, "They all saw it."

The King of Xiang took a closer look and saw that there were at least thirty or forty people present. His face instantly darkened and he flew into a rage, "This is simply nonsense!"

As his right-hand man, Shi Yi was extremely cautious. How could he commit a crime in front of so many people? !

"You are accusing an innocent person of being a thief! The people in my palace are not fools. If they want to kill you, they will definitely avoid being seen by others instead of committing the crime in the street!"

The crime was committed in the street, led by the palace's chief steward himself, without any disguise. What is the difference between this behavior and running naked in broad daylight with pants off? !

Only a fool would do that.

Without giving it much thought, the King of Xiang concluded that Fu Yutang was talking nonsense.

Fu Yutang curled his lips and smiled, "Your Highness is right. However, who can blame us, the people of the capital, for not only having such strong insight, but also having a strong sense of justice in their hearts..."

There was no need for the King of Xiang to speak. Fu Yutang took the initiative to tell the whole story in a roundabout way, and sighed again: "It is thanks to the heroes that I was able to catch them all and clear the name of Jingzhao Prefecture! After returning to the Ministry of Justice to record the confession, I will report this matter to the emperor and let the emperor know how much the people of the capital support him, how much they support the court, and how much they love this land under their feet! I think the emperor will be very happy and reward the heroes well."

She spoke so happily that everyone was excited, except King Xiang, who was startled. He never expected that Shi Zhen was really in trouble. He was so careless that he didn't even notice that someone had eavesdropped on him, and had dozens of people watching the whole process!

idiot!

It's so stupid!

King Xiang glared at Shi Zhen and the others angrily, his face as cold as ice. If they couldn't even handle such a small matter, what use were they!

In order to allow Shi Zhen and others to successfully kill Fu Yutang, he deliberately held Yan Zhen for a long time. He thought that Fu Yutang had already died, so he ordered people to return home. However, he waited for Shi Zhen and others to return for a long time.

He felt something was wrong and sent spies to investigate. It turned out that Fu Yutang was not dead, Shi Zhen and others were arrested and were being taken to the Ministry of Justice by Yan Zhen!

When he first heard the news, he subconsciously thought that Fu Yutang was lucky and Yan Zhen arrived in time, which allowed her to escape.

At that time, apart from feeling unhappy and scolding Shi Zhen for his poor performance, he didn't have much worries.

As we all know, convictions in this dynasty require personal evidence, physical evidence, and confessions, and none of the three can be missing.

Yan Zhen and others are Fu Yutang's subordinates and have a vested interest in Fu Yutang, so they cannot serve as witnesses. There are no third-party witnesses at the scene of the crime. Even if Fu Yutang knows that Shi Zhen and others were instructed by him, he can't do anything to him.

Shi Zhen had been with him for many years, so he naturally understood this. As long as he refused to admit it, he could use his status as a prince to mediate and insist that everything was a misunderstanding, and he could take him away from Fu Yutang.

If Fu Yutang insisted on not releasing the person, he could take the opportunity to bite back, saying that Fu Yutang had a grudge against him and deliberately framed him!

After all, it was known to all the civil and military officials in the court that Fu Yutang was not on good terms with him.

But I didn't expect...

I didn't expect Shi Zhen to be so careless. The disguise of Shi Dadui and others was so poor that they were actually seen through by the untouchables who had never seen the world. They became suspicious and quietly followed them to see everything clearly!

Best of all, there’s more than one!

With thirty or forty witnesses, could he suppress them just by using his status as a prince?! Could he kill them all to silence them?!

What’s even more infuriating is that he just admitted in front of everyone that Shi Zhen and others are from the palace and are his subordinates!

Now, as soon as he makes a move, or if anything happens to any of these witnesses, Fu Yutang will lead those troublemakers in the Ministry of Justice and put the blame on him without thinking twice, leaving him no chance to defend himself!

When he thought of this, King Xiang's face twisted.

Not to mention that the little bastard Fu Yutang openly threatened him, saying that he would tell the emperor about this!
