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

Really...

Really...

Zhang Xiaoshuai tried to hold back, but in the end he couldn't hold back any longer and cursed the King of Xiang in his heart, "He's more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything!"

He is not speaking in hindsight. Who in the court doesn't know that Fu Yutang is so smart that he is almost a demon?

In the eyes of Fu Yutang, the living devil, the tricks of Prince Xiang are really not enough.

If Fu Yutang wanted to play with him, it would be like a cat playing with a mouse, easily and arbitrarily.

But the Prince of Xiang had no self-awareness at all and still jumped up and down to provoke her from time to time.

What’s even more infuriating is that this time he was dragged into this!

As a result, the other half of his head fell into Fu Yutang's hands, which was also the real purpose of his visit to Fu Yutang today.

He raised his head and glanced at Fu Yutang cautiously. Seeing that she looked calm and showed no signs of unhappiness, he thought for a moment before speaking: "I heard that Master Fu arrested a group of troublemakers as soon as he returned?"

"That's true." Fu Yutang glanced at him sideways and said expressionlessly, "But they are not hooligans, they are the yamen runners of your Jingzhao Prefecture. They are not causing trouble, but trying to kill me."

“What?!” Zhang Xiaoshuai’s eyes widened. He looked horrified at first, then he knelt on the ground with a plop, shouting, “Sir, I am innocent! Even if I had ten thousand guts, I would not dare to do anything bad to you!”

It's not like he doesn't want to live anymore, why would he bother with this living devil? !

Fu Yutang looked at him quietly without saying anything.

Yan Zhen's eyes darkened slightly, his face grim, and he looked Zhang Xiaoshuai up and down for a long time. Yan Zhen was the first to ask, "You mean you didn't know that King Xiang's people had infiltrated Jingzhao Prefecture?"

Qi Shang's smile disappeared, and he followed closely, saying, "As Jingzhao Yin, if you can't even manage the people under your command and can let people plant spies at will, how can you maintain the safety of the capital and protect the people in the capital? How can you be qualified to sit in the position of Jingzhao Yin?!"

Zhang Xiaoshuai's face froze. In fact, he knew it.

But there was nothing he could do.

The other party was a royal relative, and he was just a small prefect. When the other party wanted to place people in his position, he had no right to say "no".

"My Lord, this really has nothing to do with me!" Zhang Xiaoshuai knew he was in the wrong, so he lowered his eyes, guiltily avoiding Fu Yutang's gaze that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and shouted, "I am really innocent! Please look at it clearly! I really didn't know that the King of Xiang would send people to kill you... I am really innocent..."

He kowtowed, begging for mercy over and over again, but he thought in his heart: "Not everyone is born as noble as you, Fu Yutang. Not only does you have the support of Marquis Annan, but you are also favored by the late emperor. You were appointed as the emperor's companion and grew up with the emperor. They are like brothers. It is all this that gives you the courage to challenge the King of Xiang."

He was born in an ordinary family, and he studied hard for more than ten years without slacking off for a moment, which led to everything he has today. It's not that he is reluctant to give up everything he has now. If he were alone, he could have risked his official position and boldly refused the King of Xiang. However, the reality is that he still has an old mother to support, a wife and children to take care of, and he has to think about them.

As everyone knows, the King of Xiang is narrow-minded and vengeful. He has an ordinary family background and cannot withstand the anger of the King of Xiang!

What's more, the person killed by the other party was Fu Yutang.

Who among the civil and military officials in the court had not been offended by Fu Yutang? Who did not hate her? Who did not want to get rid of her as soon as possible?

Therefore, in his opinion, there was no need for him to stop the King of Xiang!

Seeing that he did not dare to answer for a long time, but instead kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, trying his best to distance himself from the King of Xiang, everyone present almost knew the answer.

From the beginning till now, Fu Yutang's target was not Zhang Xiaoshuai. Seeing that he did not actively participate in killing her, she let him go for the time being. But she still pretended to be disappointed in him, sighed lightly, and said coldly: "Get up. I know you have nothing to do with this matter."

At most, he is just pretending to be deaf and dumb.

"But..." She paused, glanced at him, and continued, "Those yamen runners kept saying they were from your Jingzhao Prefecture. I believed them and borrowed some money from one of them and put it on your account. The other party had no objection, and the people around saw it..."
