"Are you talking about that dog official Fu Yutang?"

A sturdy man who was buying steamed buns looked at the diners and said in a rough voice: "That dog official is not dead yet?"

Fu Yutang twisted instantly.

Thanks to you, not only am I not dead, I am still standing in front of you listening to you scolding me!

Diner A, who started the conversation, said, "Well, I heard that he is missing. I don't know if he is dead or not."

Another diner said: "The disaster will last for a thousand years. I think it's a long shot!"

Diner C said, "I hope God will take him away! By the way, you just said that all his servants ran away. Is that true?"

"How could this be false?" Diner A glanced at him and said in a low voice, "Not only did all the servants run away, but even the guards ran away!"

"There is such a thing!"

Everyone's face showed surprise. The strong man was also stunned. He didn't even want the steamed buns. He went straight to the wonton stand and ordered a bowl of wontons. Then he sat down in the empty seat next to Diner A and asked curiously: "What's going on? Tell me quickly."

Diner A did not keep the secret and told everything he knew, "Fu Yutang was in a high position, but he did not do his job. He used his power to frame Prime Minister Liu, causing him to be exiled to Shucheng. As everyone knows, Prime Minister Liu was a veteran of three dynasties and an honest official who was dedicated to the people. But Fu Yutang framed him with trumped-up charges. He really deserves to die! So, his guards couldn't stand it anymore, and took advantage of his disappearance to collect a lot of evidence of his crimes, and handed it to the current emperor through the hands of the King of Xiang. Please judge."

"Ah! I didn't expect that there is such a righteous person around Fu Yutang!"

"That's because he did so many bad things that anyone with a conscience couldn't stand it." Diner A looked calm, glanced at everyone, and continued, "Do you know the identity of that guard?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Seeing this, Diner A smiled slightly, first looked around, and after making sure there were no suspicious people around, he lowered his voice and said, "That guard is Fu Yutang's childhood friend - Wancheng!"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but exclaim.

It can be seen how outrageous what Fu Yutang did was that even his good brothers who grew up with him couldn't stand it.

However, Fu Yutang, the person involved, was not interested in these things. Her mind was full of the sentence "He collected a lot of evidence of crimes... and handed it over to the current emperor for judgment." She couldn't help but ask, "Hey, what evidence did Wancheng collect? Is it enough for the emperor to chop off Fu Yutang's head?"

"Yes, yes." The strong man looked curious and asked, "Can those evidences send the dog official to jail?"

Diner A paused, shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about that. However, considering that Wan Cheng took away all the guards he had trained, and the servants in the mansion also left one after another and cut off their relationship with the Fu Mansion, I think that Fu Yutang must have committed a serious crime!"

When everyone heard this, there was another exclamation.

At this moment, someone sneered: "This is just nonsense."

Fu Yutang narrowed his eyes and looked over with everyone else in the direction of the sound.

In the corner, a young man about seventeen or eighteen years old was sitting on a chair. He had a round face, big eyes, red lips and white teeth, a very standard face of a handsome boy. He was dressed in blue and white, his black hair was tied with a light blue headband, he wore black boots, and a light green brocade bag on his waist. He slowly raised his eyes and glanced at everyone. His sight inadvertently swept over Fu Yutang and paused on her face. As if his eyes were hurt, he frowned slightly, and quickly looked away. Looking at everyone, his eyes were slightly sarcastic, "Fu Yutang has only been missing for half a month, Wancheng can't wait to curry favor with the new master and stab Fu Yutang in the back. The group of servants in the Fu family followed suit, secretly selling the valuables in the mansion while the master was away, stealing the indentures, and leaving. These people are all traitors, and they are worthy of your admiration?"

"You are talking nonsense." Diner A was the first to disagree and retorted, "It's obvious that the official has done so many bad things that his subordinates can't stand it anymore, so they acted like this! In my opinion, they are all people with conscience!"

"Yes, yes." Everyone nodded in agreement, "That dog official should be deserted by everyone!"

"Heh." The young man pulled the corner of his mouth, and the mockery on his face deepened. "If he really had a conscience, if he really cared about the world and disdained to associate with Fu Yutang, then Wan Cheng could have handed all the evidence to Jingzhao Yin, or to the Dali Temple, instead of handing it over to Fu Yutang's mortal enemy, the King of Xiang. The King of Xiang is just an idle prince, he has no official position, and he has no right to handle any case at all."

"Even a three-year-old child knows that if you want to sue someone for a crime, you have to submit the evidence to Jingzhao Yin. If Jingzhao Yin refuses to accept the case, you can go to the Dali Temple. Wancheng has been with Fu Yutang for many years, so he must know this, right?"

But he just gave it to the King of Xiang. It is self-evident what his intention was.

Diner A blushed and argued, "As the saying goes, officials protect each other. The Dali Temple is under the Ministry of Justice. Who knows if the Dali Temple will bend the law for personal gain? I think Wancheng also has this concern, so he gave all the evidence to the King of Xiang."

The young man laughed, glanced at everyone, and added lightly, "Maybe. Another point, if he gave it to the Dali Temple, the Dali Temple would not be able to give him any benefits. If he gave it to the Prince of Xiang, at least he could get a position as the chief guard of the palace, which is much better than being a powerless guard beside Fu Yutang."

"Of course, the servants of the Fu family did the right thing." The young man raised his lips slightly, a dimple appeared on his right cheek, and he looked at Diner A and said loudly: "Otherwise, as a servant of the Fu family, how could you have the money to sit here and speak nonsense, throwing dirty water on your master?"

After the words fell, there was silence all around.

What do you mean?

Could it be that the diner in front of him was a servant who had defected from Fu Yutang's mansion?

For a moment, everyone present was stunned, including Fu Yutang and Wang Dagui.

Diner A's face suddenly changed, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he subconsciously wanted to run away.

But the young man raised his hand, and two strong men in rough cloth and shorts jumped out from the side and held down Diner A. At the same time, he shouted loudly to the diners who were panicked by the sudden change and fled in all directions: "Master Yan, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, is here to arrest the escaped slaves. Who dares to be so presumptuous?!"

Fu Yutang was startled by the shout and instinctively took a step back. He wanted to leave with Wang Dagui, but he saw the young man stand up and walk towards him slowly.

"Big brother, you look very familiar." The young man greeted her with a smile.

: In the past, if a cute boy approached her, Fu Yutang would be very happy. But at this moment, the man in front of her... Fu Yutang saw a bit of hideousness in his smile.

Facing the big dark eyes of the boy, Fu Yutang was inexplicably a little scared. He swallowed silently, forced a smile back, and said, "Maybe, it's because I have a common face."

"Well, nothing else. I'll go first."

After saying that, he winked at Wang Dagui, turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait a moment." The young man raised his hand and placed it on her shoulder, smiling even more. "I felt very close to you the moment I saw you, and I want to make friends with you. What do you think?"

"Oh, this? Isn't it bad?" Fu Yutang looked at him with some embarrassment. "I'm just a little beggar, but you are a powerful and well-informed vice minister of the Ministry of Justice. This status is not equal, so I'm afraid it's not easy for us to interact."

"I didn't expect that big brother also knows that the Ministry of Justice is very busy." The young man sighed, and before Fu Yutang could agree, he immediately put away the smile on his face, grabbed Fu Yutang's collar, and cursed: "You know that the Ministry of Justice is busy, and you dare to disappear?! Do you really think that I dare not kill my boss with my own hands?!"
