"Then according to Master Xia's wishes, our dungeon doesn't need to be cleaned?"
"Master Wang, this is your dungeon, not ours. This place does need to be cleaned, but not now."
"not now?"
"I just came to the dungeon, and I think someone will come to see me soon. If some people see that Mr. Wang is taking too good care of me, a felon, it will be difficult for Mr. Wang in the future in the court."
"this……"
"Sir Wang, I know you are in a difficult situation. You don't want to be caught in the middle and it's difficult to behave. I am also a sensible person. I will still cooperate with you to save face."
With that said, Xia Shang handed the sword in his hand to Wang Qinghai.
"Keep this sword safe and don't lose it. Who knows one day the fairy will come to Lord Wang to ask for it."
As he said that, he stretched out his hand again: "Also, lock your hands and feet. It is not appropriate for a person like me to walk around in the dungeon of the Ministry of Punishment with such arrogance."
Wang Qinghai looked at Xia Shang, bowed gratefully, then called to his men who were busy preparing to stop, and then moved closer to Xia Shang.
Wang Qinghai personally sent Xia Shang to the cell closest to the door.
The cells outside are cleaner than those inside. After all, they are cleaned occasionally under the eyes of some jailers.
Also, the normal prisoners are in the innermost area, and Xia Shang is locked up outside.
Wang Qinghai did not leave and stayed in the dungeon himself.
It is estimated that Xia Shang was the first person in history to receive such treatment.
But Wang Qinghai would not keep watch all the time. He just heard from Xia Shang that someone would come later.
Wang Qinghai thinks so. With Xia Shang's current reputation, there will definitely be many big shots coming.
He wanted to stay here and see who was coming. If he could hear one or two useful words, it might be helpful to him in the future.
Finally, I also put on a show in front of those big shots, letting them see how difficult it is for me to be the Minister of the Ministry of Justice.
Xia Shang was indeed a little unaccustomed to being in prison. The hay inside had been soaked in some sewage and stink, and there was no place to stay.
Fortunately, Wang Qinghai gave me a stool, and it was already quite nice to sit here.
Just this one stool makes the criminal inside
People started talking, some said it was unfair, and some tried to guess who the person who came today was.
Xia Shang sat down and felt calm for the time being.
Xia Shang was somewhat prepared for today's encounter.
And the result was better than he expected.
He also knew in his heart that removing him from office was the best way to solve the problem.
The official position is just a title. Although the loss of the Metropolitan Procuratorate will weaken some of Xia Shang's power. After all, it will no longer be justified in the future. However, Xia Shang is still somewhat confident and believes that the Metropolitan Procuratorate he currently controls is not a
An institution that can be controlled by relying on a belt or being appointed by the imperial court. As long as he says a word, he can still mobilize most of the power in the Metropolitan Procuratorate even if he does not have a belt.
Speaking of which, this kind of punishment is not really a punishment.
What's more, the current prison sentence is nothing to worry about. It's just a way of abusing yourself, so there's nothing to make a fuss about.
After all, what he did last night deserved this.
As for the subsequent treatment, it will naturally be gradually alleviated as time goes by. He believes that the queen has this ability, and he also believes that the queen will never stab him at this time.
Xia and Shang were satisfied with this result, and all officials and forces would also be satisfied with this result.
In the eyes of others, the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is more than just an official position.
Although most people know that the actual power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is still in the hands of Xia Shang. But now that Xia Shang does not have the waist card, it is equivalent to giving other people the opportunity, and others can naturally enter the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
and Xia and Shang seized power.
Even if we don’t know what the final result will be, it will still give some people who covet the power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate a chance.
If anyone can seize this opportunity, it will be a huge success.
Therefore, all officials will be satisfied with the result.
Xia Shang could accept everything, and now he had one more question in his mind.
Why did the Queen directly announce the outcome of the case in the court just now and interrupt the debate present?
And she was the one who said this. It seemed like she had thought of such a solution from the beginning.
Xia Shang rubbed the corners of his eyebrows, wondering what on earth that crazy woman was planning?
Xia Shang was not given much time to think alone, and soon there were people like
He came to the dungeon to visit as he said.
The person who came was Pay Yu. As soon as he arrived, he took Xia Shang out of the prison and sent him to an unmanned room on the upper floor to talk alone.
There was no one else around, so Fu Yu stopped pretending to be calm and asked anxiously: "Where is my daughter? Give me my daughter back quickly."
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I have been escorted all the way here since I left the main hall. I didn't even say a word to the people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. How do I know the whereabouts of your daughter? Besides, I am no longer a member of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
I don’t know how many people in the courtyard can listen to the official’s words.”
"Xia Shang, stop pretending to be stupid. You have just been dismissed from your official position. It will not have any impact on you at all. Even if it does, it will be six months, a year or even a few years later. How can you control the people in the courtyard at this time?"
"Master Prime Minister, I really haven't spoken to the people in the courtyard. Even if they want them to release me, I have to talk to them. Also, if I remember correctly, no one of my people seems to be in trouble.
Miss Fu, she can leave at any time."
"If she is willing to leave, how can I talk nonsense to you here?"
"Miss Fu doesn't want to leave, what does it have to do with me?"
"Xia, do you really not know or are you pretending not to know? If my daughter hadn't known you, how could she be so tit-for-tat with me?"
"Um... I've heard about this. I heard that the Prime Minister was worried about Miss Fu's marriage, so he and Miss Fu were looking for some young men. It seems that there was some quarrel with the Prime Minister because of this matter, right? Then let me tell you
what is the relationship?"
"Qianqian is almost 20 years old now! She has not married yet. I am not as concerned with managing state affairs as I am with his marriage. There are thousands of young men to choose from, but that girl didn't even take a look and said she didn't like it. This keeps going on.
What should I do?”
"You are less than twenty years old, Prime Minister, what are you anxious about? In my opinion, as long as the relationship is in place, age is not a problem."
"Don't talk nonsense to me! My daughter, I know very well that all she has in her heart is you, a rogue. I shouldn't have let her leave the capital with you in the first place!"
"Prime Minister, you...don't make fun of me! Miss Fu and I are just friends, but I have never..."
"How dare you! I won't talk nonsense to you today! You think of a way to meet Qianqian as soon as possible and say something harsh to her. The harsher the better, so that she can stop thinking about her as soon as possible!"
