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

"what?"

Hong Shuang's face turned pale, and she subconsciously grabbed Xiao Yuan's hand and asked anxiously, "How could this happen? Why was Master Fu assassinated?"

"I don't know, Xiao Yuan." Xiao Yuan shook her head and said truthfully, "I heard from the yamen runners in Jingzhao Prefecture that the assassin who assassinated Master Fu was suspected to be from Xi Ming."

Hearing this, Kun Wuming's eyes moved slightly, with a worried look on his face, and he said, "Is Master Fu okay? He is the pillar of our Daning. If something happens to him, what should we do?"

"I didn't hear the yamen runner mention Mr. Fu's situation."

Xiao Yuan repeated the words of the Jingzhao Prefecture yamen runners truthfully, "Jingzhao Prefecture is now arresting people everywhere. The yamen runners said that the whole city will be under martial law for the next few days. No one is allowed to leave the city. Every household will be searched one by one until the murderer is caught..."

"That's a good idea." Kun Wuming gave a thumbs up, his face full of admiration for Fu Yutang, and said, "It's like catching a turtle in a jar. I don't believe we can't catch the murderer! But..."

As if thinking of something, Kun Wuming frowned and said, "This sudden closure of the city will probably cause panic among the people in the capital. Over time, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the people..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan immediately laughed and said, "Young Master, you are worrying too much. The current Jingzhao Prefecture Governor Yu said that if you need to leave the capital for urgent matters, you can go to the southern gate of the city. There is a passage out of the city there. As long as you pass the inspection of the Ministry of Justice and confirm that there is no doubt, you can leave the capital directly. However, there are only fifty places available every day."

"So that's how it is." Kun Wuming suddenly realized and said with a smile: "Enforcing the law while maintaining compassion, this Lord Yu can come up with such a method, he must be a thoughtful and caring official who loves the people."

"Yes."

When talking about Yu Jiashan, Hongshuang and Xiaoyuan both looked proud.

Kunwu was confused and asked, "Do the two girls know Lord Yu?"

Hong Shuang smiled softly and said, "I don't know him. But I once heard from a guest that Lord Yu was originally a compiler in the History Museum, and it was Lord Fu who strongly recommended him to become the Jingzhao Yin."

It turns out that Jingzhao Yin is Fu Yutang's man.

Kun Wuming's eyes flashed with a dark light, but his smile remained unchanged. He said, "Then Prime Minister Fu really has a keen eye for talent."

"Yes, Master Fu has a good vision." Xiao Yuan echoed, admiringly saying, "Fortunately, Master Fu let Master Yu take over as Jingzhao Yin. If it were someone else, they would definitely get some messy people to bully us. Just like the Jingzhao Yin before, his name was, what was it, oh yes, Zhang Xiaoshuai, not a good person at all, he bullied his subordinates and lied to his superiors, causing many children in the capital to go missing..."

Crackling, gurgling, blah blah.

Xiaoyuan has been living in Wenxianglou ever since she can remember, and she has always thought that the brothel owner was her biological mother.

It was not until the day Zhang Xiaoshuai was executed that the brothel owner casually mentioned it. Then she learned that she was originally the daughter of a good family and was trafficked to Wenxianglou. She immediately hated the trafficker so much.

When people talk about the kidnapping case now, they are filled with righteous indignation and wish that Zhang Xiaoshuai would be executed by slow slicing.

Kunwu Ming listened to her patiently, trying to extract useful information from her words.

However, Xiaoyuan stayed in the building all day and knew very little, and basically talked about things that were familiar to her.

So, after listening for a while, Kun Wuming found an opportunity to interrupt her and shift the topic back to Fu Yutang.
