Just as Fu Yutang expected, the group of kidnappers were hiding in an abandoned house in Jinyu Lane.

Jiang Yueming and the Dali Temple's constables descended from the sky and caught the kidnappers off guard. They successfully captured them all and rescued the kidnapped children.

Because of Fu Yutang's prior instructions, Yan Zhen and Qi Shang were well prepared. They interrogated the children as needed, placed the children there, and contacted the children's families overnight. Everything went on in an orderly manner.

Before the morning court session the next day, Yan and Qi, with dark circles under their eyes, handed a large stack of confessions to Fu Yutang and said, "Brother Tang, everything you want is here."

Fu Yutang took it, looked through it quickly, looked up at the two of them, and praised them generously: "You did a great job."

In response, Yan and Qi pulled the corners of their mouths with a forced smile, and each found a corner to close their eyes and rest.

I haven’t slept all night. I’m so sleepy!

The same thing happened to Fu Yutang. After trying hard all night, he failed to get closer to Zhao Ye.

The little guy got along very well with Wang Dagui and Wangcai, but when he saw her, his expression suddenly changed and he immediately hid away.

As if she was some kind of devil.

Let alone testing whether he would speak, even getting within three feet of him was a problem.

Thinking of this, Fu Yutang couldn't help but sigh slightly, put away his confession, and waited quietly for the morning court to begin.

As Feng Xingjun stepped into Jingguang Hall, the morning court officially began.

Feng Xingjun was in the upper position. He glanced at the ministers below him and saw that Fu Yutang and other officials in the Ministry of Justice all had bloodshot eyes and dark circles under their eyes. He paused and asked, "Do you have any important matters to report today?"

"I have something to report." Fu Yutang immediately stood up and said calmly, "I want to sue Zhang Xiaoshuai for dereliction of duty. Qian Youcai is not good at judging people and is not qualified to be the Minister of Personnel."

Upon hearing this, all the civil and military officials in the court were stunned.

Rui Chengyin's expression also changed. His brows were furrowed, and his inquiring eyes wandered over Fu Yutang.

Didn’t you already sue Zhang Xiaoshuai before?

Moreover, the emperor also severely punished Zhang Xiaoshuai. In order to avoid the emperor's punishment, Qian Youcai had been absent from court for many days claiming to be ill.

Logically speaking, this matter should have ended here. Why did Fu Yutang jump out and bring up the old matter again?

Feng Xingjun was also a little puzzled, and his brows twisted slightly unconsciously. He said in a deep voice: "Minister Fu, if I remember correctly, you and the people in the Ministry of Justice have already exposed Zhang Xiaoshuai's dereliction of duty."

"Indeed." Fu Yutang bowed slightly and said in a loud voice: "I am suing him again today for only one reason - I think sending him to the frontier is too easy for him!"

As soon as these words fell, all the civil and military officials in the court took a deep breath.

You caused this person to lose his official position, and his entire family was sent to the frontier to work as pioneers. And you still think the punishment is too light?

Are you the living devil?

An official who was on good terms with Zhang Xiaoshuai and belonged to Qian Youcai's camp could not help but stand up and frowned, saying, "Master Fu, although Zhang Xiaoshuai and you don't get along, we have worked together after all. Why are you so unreasonable?"

"Working together?" Fu Yutang looked at him sideways and asked expressionlessly, "You may have forgotten what crime he committed, right? He committed dereliction of duty. If it is dereliction of duty, it means that he did not even do his job well. He has been an official for several years and he doesn't care about anything. If he doesn't care about anything, how can he have worked with me? If he has worked with me, how can he be said to have dereliction of duty?"

The official didn't expect Fu Yutang to be so ruthless right from the start. He choked and became speechless for a moment.
