The left prime minister sneered, "Then please answer quickly, Madam Xiao, or are you simply unable to explain the reason and are deliberately stalling for time?"
Old Master Xu laughed, "Maybe he knows that he has been too arrogant and is waiting for someone to rescue him?"
The Minister of Rites snorted contemptuously, "Do you think that this matter can be resolved by waiting for Governor Ning to come?
It's a nice thought. To tell you the truth, according to the laws of this dynasty, if you abuse your power and falsely accuse others, especially if you falsely accuse a first-rank official, you will be dismissed from office at the least and exiled at the worst. Madam Xiao, you'd better think about how to explain it quickly, otherwise your position as the Lady of the Nation will end today."
After they finished speaking, they looked at each other and then smiled knowingly.
Although today had a bad start, it can be considered a blessing in disguise now.
If this incident could be used to bring down the Xiao family directly, it would be more satisfying than directly slapping Ning Cuo in the face.
They were plotting against Xiao Tu, who was also looking at them. Seeing how they looked at the moment, she held up her cheeks with her jade hands and tilted her head, "Aren't you guys happy too early?"
This one sentence made several people's faces turn black. Not to mention the shame and anger of having their thoughts exposed, the other party's attitude of not taking them seriously instantly angered everyone.
The left prime minister looked at her gloomily, "Madam Xiao, you must have thought of the answer to the question I asked the ministers just now. If you can't give me a reason that convinces me today, I will punish you for abusing private punishment and framing a woman of high rank according to the law based on your imprisonment of a woman of high rank!"
Xiao Tu looked at him sternly, but her red lips curled up, "I heard that the Left Prime Minister and the others kept referring to the laws of Dazhao. It seems that everyone is a good official who abides by the law. In this case, I will follow the law and answer your questions."
As she spoke, she stretched out a white and tender finger, "First of all, the left prime minister said that I have no evidence, no driving permit, and no right to arrest people without authorization?
But when your wife, Left Prime Minister, killed someone, your young lady was at the crime scene, so she was one of the evidences. Moreover, according to the Dazhao Law, it is a righteous act for close relatives to report a crime, and as long as they dare to testify, they will have the special privilege of reporting first and then being investigated.
As for the imperial edict, the arresters were from the East Factory, and the East Factory is the eyes of the emperor, and the knife in the hands of the emperor. It has always had the power to monitor all officials and execute first and report later, so the two charges you pointed out against my wife, Zuo Xiang, are not true at all."
The more the Left Prime Minister listened to her clear and logical words, the uglier his expression became. By the time he finished listening, his face had stretched as long as a shoe horn.
Xiao Tu raised a second finger and said, "Secondly, based on my answer above, Master Xu's statement that the Left Prime Minister was right is obviously bullshit, so let's just skip him."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Xu's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot, so black that it could scare anyone.
Xiao Tu continued to extend the third finger, "The Minister of Rites said that the murder case should be referred to the Dali Temple, but he forgot that the wife of the Left Prime Minister is a court lady, and the person she killed was also an official's concubine. According to the Dazhao Law, cases involving officials should be handed over to the Ministry of Justice or the East Factory for trial, so how can this lady ask the East Factory to arrest people and interfere?
As an official of Dazhao, you don't even know the laws of Dazhao. You must be a third-rank official, the Minister of Rites, who got in through the back door, right?"
The Minister of Rites' old face instantly turned purple and his breathing became rapid.
After Xiao Tu finished talking about these three people, he put down his hand and said, "As for the rest of them, they can only second the motion. It's obvious that they are all yes-men. They are not important at all~"
The remaining officials were so angry that they almost fell down!
