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

"It's hard to say."

Fu Yutang curled his lips, a look of annoyance flashed across his face, as if he didn't want to talk any more. He waved his hand and changed the subject again, saying, "Forget it. I don't want to talk about those troublesome things. Since no one has passed the news to Lord Zhao, I will personally tell Lord Zhao the good news."

"Oh?" Zhao Yong's eyes gleamed with a glimmer. He secretly remembered her unusual reaction and asked, "What good news?"

"Didn't our Ministry of Justice go to catch kidnappers last night?" Fu Yutang looked at him and said with a smile, "The Ministry of Justice successfully rescued more than a dozen children, and Mr. Zhao was among them."

"Impossible!" Zhao Yong's eyes widened when he heard it. Without any hesitation, he directly refuted loudly: "This is impossible! Ye'er can't still be in the capital..."

As soon as he said this, Zhao Yong realized that he had said something wrong and stopped immediately.

The air around them froze for a moment.

Facing Fu Yutang's surprised look, Zhao Yong coughed lightly, calmed himself down, and said awkwardly, "What I meant is that Ye'er disappeared during the Lantern Festival. During this period of time, I have secretly sent people to search the capital. If he is still in the city, there is no way I can find him."

As if accepting his statement, the astonishment on Fu Yutang's face disappeared instantly, and he smiled as gentle and calm as always, "Well, I'm not bragging, but the servants in Lord Zhao's house are not as experienced as the yamen runners in the Ministry of Justice. Everyone in my Ministry of Justice is talented, so it's easy to find a child."

"Is that so?" Zhao Yong's smile was a little forced.

"Of course." Fu Yutang seemed unaware and continued, "The reason why I stopped Lord Zhao was because I thought Lord Zhao knew about Master Zhao's news in advance, so I suggested pardoning those kidnappers at the morning court. It turned out that I was overthinking, so please don't be offended, Lord Zhao."

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and bowed to express his apology.

Zhao Yong hurriedly returned the greeting, "Master Fu, you are too polite."

"You should apologize." Fu Yutang said very seriously, raising his hand and giving Zhao Yong another big gift.

Zhao Yong: “……!!”

I have to say, he was a little flattered.

When did the always arrogant Fu Yutang become so polite?

Is there any trap?

What exactly is Fu Yutang up to?

Zhao Yong's heart was pounding, and he was secretly on guard in case the person in front of him was playing any tricks.

But he didn't expect that the other party was really just apologizing. After the ceremony, he stood up and said, "I have something important to do, so I'll go first. By the way, Lord Zhao, remember to take time to go to the Ministry of Justice to take Mr. Zhao back so that the family can be reunited as soon as possible."

Zhao Yong heard this and forced a smile, "Okay. I'll go to the Ministry of Personnel and report in."

Fu Yutang kept smiling and nodded.

After saying goodbye to him, she turned around, and the smile on her face slowly disappeared, replaced by cold anger in her eyes.

Zhao Yong did the same, standing still and slowly restraining his expression.

Is Fu Yutang testing him?

Or is there really someone who looks similar to Ye'er, so that Fu Yutang recognized the wrong person?

What did those words mean before?

Is Fu Yutang too suspicious, or does the Ministry of Justice really have spies planted in it?

Staring at Fu Yutang's receding back, Zhao Yong's face was full of contemplation.

If the Ministry of Justice really has a spy, who planted it?

The Emperor?

No, it can't be the Emperor.

Fu Yutang is the emperor's man, so there is no need for the emperor to place spies in there.
