952 The Bald Minister

“I know the secret techniques of the Xiaguo Kingdom and the Sacred Zhao. The people will not agree to you being the king.”

The princess was smiling aggressively.

“Then go ahead and tell the people. I don’t mind.”

Jiang Ming did not care at all and still waved his hand.

“Hey!” The princess was shocked. “This is evidence that can drag you down!”

“Oh.”

Jiang Ming raised his hand in boredom and placed it on his right cheek.

At this moment, an official rushed over and slapped the princess.

The princess fell to the ground and looked at the minister in disbelief.

The minister was bald, and his mouth was crooked. He said aggressively, “How can a fake princess do such evil things? Drag her out and beat her to death!”

As he spoke, he gave the guards at the side a look.

The guard hurriedly took the princess away.

Jiang Ming was dumbfounded.

This minister seemed to have bypassed him to give orders.

Zhu Asi raised his eyebrows. “The king is still here. Why are you giving orders?”

Jiang Ming sized up the bald minister.

He did not seem to remember this minister.

“I’m a new minister,” the bald minister said in a low voice. “I forgot to report to you.”

“What is the ruling system of the Xiaguo Kingdom?”

Jiang Ming suddenly remembered that he had not asked about this yet. He immediately looked at Zhu Asi.

Zhu Asi usually roamed around the Xiaguo Kingdom, so he should know these things.

“I don’t know either.” He shook his head.

“We choose ministers through a selection process,” the bald minister said. “But after we choose, we have to inform the king so that he knows who we are.”

“Do you know this princess?”

He could not help but feel curious about the bald minister.

This bald minister knew too much about the Xiaguo Kingdom.

The bald minister smiled.

“I don’t really know her. We’ve only met a few times. She came to me first and then to you. I thought she would give up. I didn’t expect her to come here. But now it’s all settled. I’ve also destroyed everything in her hands. Your Majesty, please rest assured.”

“You seem quite capable. Why don’t you deal with the flood and drought problems in the South first?” Jiang Ming said.

“Thank you!” The bald minister’s eyes lit up. He quickly knelt down and said, “Thank you. I will not fail my mission.”

When they left, Jiang Ming looked at Zhu Asi and said, “It’s time to find someone to keep an eye on this minister. ”

Zhu Asi nodded.

After leaving the door, the bald official paused for a moment. A maid rushed over with an unusual expression and stuffed a letter into Zhu Asi’s hand.

“My lord, I wish you peace,” she said cheerfully.

While the people nearby were not paying attention, the bald minister stuffed the letter into his pocket and nodded.

The carriage was already waiting for him outside the door. The bald official got on the carriage, and his expression became serious.

“To the east wing.”

At this time, Zhu Asi received a secret letter, which stated that he was to find the traitor of Zhuyan Palace.

He was stunned.

The Xiaguo Kingdom was so small, how could there be traitors?

Then, explosive news came.

“Prime Minister, we’ve escaped!”

When the guard came to report, he was already on the verge of death.

He closed his eyes and finally died.

When Jiang Ming saw this, he raised his hand and asked the guards to take him out.

“Let’s go and take a look at the prime minister.”

Jiang Ming looked at Sikong Wuyuan.

“I also want to meet the prime minister,” Sikong Wuyuan laughed.

When he arrived at the door, the door to the prison had already been opened. The corpses inside were already densely packed.

“The prime minister seems to have left.”

Sikong Wuyuan looked around and realized that Jiang Ming had disappeared.

Looking forward, he saw Jiang Ming pulling the prime minister’s ear and walking over.

“No! No!”

The prime minister could not stop crying out. He was unwilling to accept this.

He originally thought that his spell techniques could be compared to the king.

Who would have thought that with just one move, he would be subdued?

Sikong Wuyuan could not help but laugh. He moved closer to Jiang Ming and said, “Your Majesty, you are indeed worthy of your title. In just a few seconds, you have already restrained the prime minister.”

The prime minister could not help but shout, “It was just an accident. What are you talking about?”

Seeing this, Jiang Ming directly dislocated the prime minister’s shoulder for a second.

The prime minister started to scream again. He turned around and pressed his shoulder back.

Sikong Wuyuan could not help but exclaim in satisfaction. He sneered, “Prime Minister, you don’t seem to be doing much. You’d better listen to me. Don’t dislocate it again.”

The prime minister gritted his teeth, but he could only suppress his anger.

He did not have any power now, but his reserve army would come to save him in a while.

He did not believe that he could not get out.

“Are you accepting defeat now so that you can leave later?”

Jiang Ming saw through the prime minister’s thoughts and hit the nail on the head.

“How is that possible?” The prime minister was instantly embarrassed and shook his head frantically.

His head drooped and he looked dejected.

“I’ve already been reduced to this state by you. How can I get out?”

“That’s true. I’ll give you a reward today.”

Jiang Ming stuffed a pill into the prime minister’s mouth.

The prime minister had originally hidden it under his tongue, but Sikong Wuyuan rushed forward and grabbed his throat.

The prime minister was forced to swallow the pill. He gritted his teeth in hatred, but he could not say anything on the surface.

“This is poison. If you leave this prison, you will die.”

Jiang Ming slowly talked about the effects of the pill.

“Your Majesty, why must you be so ruthless? I have not mistreated you in the past. Besides, you weren’t the king before, right? I’m the only one who knows about the identity change.”

The prime minister emphasized the last sentence. Jiang Ming could hear the threat in it, but he smiled disapprovingly.

“Are you saying that you’re going to kill me? You seem to still be in my hands.”

The prime minister’s heart thumped, and he began to awkwardly flatter Jiang Ming again.

“How could that be? I will definitely keep the secret for you.”

“Are you sure it’s a secret? I remember that I used this hand to dislocate your shoulder just now.” Jiang Ming moved his wrist.

“Your Majesty, it’s all my fault. You are the king.”

The prime minister changed the topic in a panic.

Jiang Ming could not be bothered with him. He threw him into another room and locked him up.

“You should reflect on yourself here. Don’t let me discover your thoughts. Otherwise, your punishment won’t be as simple as imprisonment.”
