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

The King of Xiang's expression twisted, like a withered old chrysanthemum, and he couldn't help but remind him: "If Master Fu really wanted to serve the country and the people, why did he frame Prime Minister Liu Qing?"

"After all, it's because Prime Minister Liu blocked his way up." The King of Xiang glanced at everyone sarcastically and said coldly, "Don't be fooled by him!"

"Cheat? Why would we let Master Fu cheat us?"

Before everyone could react, Jiang Yi suddenly stood up and said excitedly, "Liu Qing allowed his clansmen to oppress the people and bully the villagers. It's bad enough that they did evil, but the playboy in the clan also forcibly abducted a girl in the street. The girl couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide. The girl's parents went to ask for an explanation, but were beaten to death! Liu Qing and his clansmen's evil deeds are so obvious that they can't be listed. How can they be called good officials who plead for the people? How can they be called loyal ministers?!"

"Master Fu is not afraid of power and is upright. What's wrong with dealing with Prime Minister Liu and his clansmen according to the law?!"

Everyone was shocked by what Jiang said. They looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Fu Yutang glanced at the extremely excited Jiang Yi, leaned towards Yan Zhen, and asked in a low voice: "Am I really that good?"

"What do you say?"

Yan Zhen rolled her eyes at her. Even though this man had lost his memory, he was still as shameless and narcissistic as ever, and had no idea about herself at all.

Although what Jiang Yi said was true, the main reason why Fu Yutang severely punished Liu Qing and his family members was to compete for the position of prime minister.

"……All right."

Fu Yutang touched her nose and pretended not to notice Yan Zhen's contemptuous look. She knew that as a villain, it was impossible for her to do such a great and glorious thing.

However, despite her contempt, Yan Zhen still stood up and said, "I don't know who spread the rumor that Lord Fu deliberately framed Prime Minister Liu, but the fact is that Prime Minister Liu's clansmen did use Prime Minister Liu's name to do a lot of things that angered the people and oppressed the people!"

At this point, he paused for a moment, looked around at the stunned crowd, and then continued, "Of course, some of you may say, 'What you said was done by Prime Minister Liu's family members, it has nothing to do with Prime Minister Liu, if you want to arrest someone, just arrest the person who made the mistake, why did you send Prime Minister Liu to exile in Shucheng?' But everyone should know that the premise of not punishing family members is that the benefits will not be extended to family members. Before Liu Qing passed the imperial examination, the Liu family in their hometown of Jingzhou City were just a group of ordinary farmers, with no other livelihood except farming. But since Liu Qing became an official in Beijing, the Liu family in Jingzhou suddenly became rich. They have been sending gifts to the Prime Minister's Mansion for decades during the New Year. Not to mention the rare treasures, the silver notes alone are at least 100,000 taels every year!"

"Tell me, where did these things come from? Does Liu Qing really know nothing about it?"

Jiang Yi sneered, "How could he not know?! If he didn't know, why would the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion chase me all the way and stop me from filing a complaint at the Ministry of Justice?"

So, is this young man in front of me the victim?

Everyone looked at him curiously.

Sensing everyone's gazes, Jiang Yi simply revealed his identity. "To be honest, I am the girl's brother! My parents and younger sister were killed by Liu Qing's nephew Liu Zhu! After the incident, I reported to the police to seek justice, but I never expected that the county magistrate and the Liu family were in cahoots with each other. In court, Liu Zhu not only did not repent, but also slandered me, saying that I envied his wealthy family and generosity, and wanted to get close to him, so he asked my younger sister to seduce him. However, he had high standards and looked down on a country girl like my younger sister, so he directly refused. My younger sister and her parents were so angry that they intended to chase him, but they ended up making things worse and reaped the consequences..."
