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

"Please say."

"Let Ji take a look at Prime Minister Liu's files." Jixue said calmly.

Upon hearing this request, Fu Yutang was a little surprised. She thought Jixue would take this opportunity to ask for the removal of the living-substitute Gu.

"Okay." Fu Yutang nodded without hesitation and agreed, saying, "I've said it before, Master Ji is always welcome to come and check it out."

"Ji doesn't like to owe favors to others."

Especially the other party is Fu Yutang.

That's why he chose to help her expose the matter of Zhao Ye first.

After the matter is resolved, I will make my request to Fu Yutang.

After this back and forth, they are even and owe nothing to each other.

Fu Yutang nodded slightly, and could understand his approach.

After all, the two are still in a hostile position, so of course they need to reduce unnecessary ties.

So, he said straightforwardly, "Okay, I'll have someone bring it to you. Please wait here for a moment."

Jixue said "thank you", paused, and added: "What Ji wants is the original file."

"Don't worry. Since I allow you to check it, I will naturally not make up some false information to deceive you like Jiang Yueming and others. There is no need to do so. My Ministry of Justice has always handled cases in an open, fair and strict manner, and we disdain to use shady tricks." Fu Yutang said calmly.

Liu Qing had actually committed a crime, and was caught red-handed by the people from the Ministry of Justice.

Otherwise, in Fu Yutang's opinion, no matter how much he wanted to become the prime minister, he could only wait patiently for Liu Qing to retire and then compete.

Ji Xue didn't believe her lies and emphasized again, "Ji only wants the original files."

"Okay, okay." Fu Yutang glanced at him and agreed without any temper. He said helplessly, "You are such a little kid. You are so defensive. You are not cute at all."

Jixue: “……???”

What's with the tone of this lecture on children?

If he remembered correctly, Fu Yutang was four years younger than him.

He strongly suspected that Fu Yutang was taking advantage of him, but he had no evidence.

Fu Yutang didn't realize that his casual complaint caused the young man in front of him to overthink it.

After saying "Wait, I'll ask Yan Zhen to bring it to you right away", he left the living room.

Just as Fu Yutang said, in less than a cup of tea, Yan Zhen really walked in with a stack of files.

Seeing Jixue, his baby face stretched three feet long. He put the file on the table in a bad mood and warned: "This file is only for viewing here. You are not allowed to take it out of this room, dirty it, tear it, copy it, leak it, or damage it in any way. I will watch you while you are viewing it. If you make any unusual moves, I will take it back."

Jixue accepted all these requests.

He stood up, took the file, said "thank you", then returned to his seat, sat down and read it carefully.

Meanwhile, Fu Yutang returned to Mingjing Hall, dealt with his daily affairs, and was about to find some time to catch up on his sleep when Qi Shang walked in and reported, "Brother Tang, the King of Xiang has pleaded guilty and is ready to confess everything. But the prerequisite is to see you. Do you want to see him?"

Fu Yutang was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "See you."

It was quite unexpected to Fu Yutang that the Prince of Xiang could hold out for so long before confessing his guilt.

She thought that after the King of Xiang was put in prison, he would cry for mercy in less than ten days and then confess all his crimes. She never expected that he would endure it for nearly two months.
