951 Summoning the Prime Minister

“Greetings, Your Majesty.”

The prime minister stepped forward and knelt in front of Jiang Ming.

“Yes.”

Jiang Ming picked up the teacup and hit the cup with the lid.

The prime minister was about to get up but was stopped by Jiang Ming.

“Continue kneeling.”

After saying this, he poured the tea in front of the prime minister.

The front of the prime minister’s robe was wet. He held his breath and said in a deep voice, “What do you mean by this? I don’t seem to have done anything wrong.”

Jiang Ming clapped his hands and did not reply to the prime minister.

Zhu Asi immediately brought a plate of steaming buns to the prime minister. “Prime Minister,” he said. “Enjoy yourself.”

The prime minister’s expression changed again and again. He directly waved his hand and said, “Why did you insult me? I am truly very surprised. I’ve contributed so much to the Xiaguo Kingdom. Is this how you treat me?”

“How is this an insult? Isn’t this the food of the countryside?” Jiang Ming retorted bluntly. “Are you insulting the civilians?”

The prime minister was rendered speechless, and his face instantly fell.

“I don’t like meat buns. Your Majesty, please take them. I really thank you for your kindness.”

He was furious.

Who the hell was this king? How dare he use meat buns to humiliate him!

If it was not for the fact that he did not have enough troops, he would definitely have seized the throne.

“Prime Minister, why don’t you tear open the bun and take a look at the filling inside?” Jiang Ming took a sip of tea.

The prime minister felt strange and tore the bun apart with Jiang Ming’s words.

The golden glint appeared in front of his eyes. As the prime minister tore the bun apart, the gold inside was revealed.

The prime minister thought that Jiang Ming wanted to bribe him, so his expression also improved.

“Your Majesty,” he said with a smile. “You’re really good at joking. Why didn’t you say that you wanted to reward me earlier?”

Then, the prime minister became righteous again.

“I thank you for your reward, but I don’t think I’ve made too many contributions to the Xiaguo Kingdom yet. I decline this reward.”

“Prime Minister, aren’t you familiar with this gold ingot?” Jiang Ming’s eyes darkened.

“What?” The prime minister was stunned for a moment. “I don’t understand what you mean.”

He started to worry.

He had a feeling that Jiang Ming had discovered something.

It did not matter! He was the hero who rebuilt the Xiaguo Kingdom.

If the king made a move on him, not to mention the officials, even the people of the kingdom would not agree.

Zhu Asi said, “I heard that you have established the Black Hole.”

The prime minister immediately understood. He raised his hand and said, “Lord Zhu, I don’t know anything about the Black Hole. Please don’t frame me.”

“Lord Prime Minister, you should recognize this token, right?”

Jiang Ming took out a token from his pocket and threw it in front of the prime minister.

In the middle of the token was a word. The materials on both sides were luxurious. It was obvious that it was the prime minister’s token.

“This bun was found in the Black Hole’s headquarters,” Jiang Ming added.

“Your Majesty, this must be a misunderstanding or a false accusation. I’ve always been diligent and conscientious. I’ve never had any ulterior motives. Your Majesty, please investigate this issue thoroughly,” the prime minister hurriedly said.

Jiang Ming knew that the prime minister was going to say this. He said lazily, “There’s only one token. How could you lose it? Moreover, there are witnesses and evidence. What do you have to say?”

“What witnesses?”

The prime minister looked flustered, and his heart swelled.

He knew that someone had betrayed him!

Jiang Ming did not intend to let the stall owner come over and rejected the prime minister.

The prime minister exhaled and muttered, “Your Majesty, I will not admit to this crime. I have not let down my heart. I have not let down the Xiaguo Kingdom!”

“Then go to prison and prove your innocence!”

Jiang Ming waved his hand, and two servants immediately went to the prime minister’s sides. One of them took his arm.

The prime minister immediately turned hostile. “You brat! You’re not even as old as me, and you dare to treat me like this? The people of the Xiaguo Kingdom will not let you off!”

Jiang Ming yawned and felt that the prime minister was too noisy.

“Your Majesty, what should we do with the vendor?” Zhu Asi asked after seeing the prime minister being dragged out.

“Let him go and follow him. Let’s see what else he will do.”

Jiang Ming’s eyes darkened.

In his opinion, there might be other big shots in the stall.

“I’ll go take a look.”

Zhu Asi turned around and left.

***

Rats and snakes were everywhere in the prison.

The prime minister was thrown into a cell.

“Reflect on yourself inside.”

The guards all laughed mockingly.

“I didn’t expect the previously unreasonable prime minister to be imprisoned here.”

” That’s right. This is going to be fun. The prime minister has many enemies!”

“I think the prime minister won’t live long!”

The prime minister was in extreme pain. Noticing the dirt on the ground, he quickly stood up.

The squeaking and hissing sounds spread through his eardrums, and he became angry.

It was all because of that damned king. He wanted to tear apart his face and let him have a taste of his power.

Jiang Ming, who was far away in the palace, could not help but sneeze.

He rubbed his nose.

The weather had turned cold, so he had to rest well.

Princess Qingmiao walked in with her hands on her hips and an angry expression.

“Your Majesty, I don’t know who’s outside the door, but she insists that she’s the princess of the Xiaguo Kingdom and is speaking rudely to me!”

“The princess of the Xiaguo Kingdom?”

Jiang Ming’s interest was piqued. He immediately asked someone to bring the princess over.

The princess looked similar to Li Nanping, but she was like a shrew.

“Do you even understand the royal bloodline? I’m authentic! Why are you rejecting me?”

She placed her hands on her hips and spoke aggressively.

“You bunch of idiots, if my brother was here, they would definitely not allow you to treat me like this! Ah! Hurry up and serve me tea and snacks!”

Jiang Ming looked at the princess with a confused expression.

“Why are you here?”

“Your Majesty.” The princess rolled her eyes. “No matter what, I’m still the princess of the Xiaguo Kingdom. According to etiquette, you should still address me respectfully. How can you be so rude?”

Jiang Ming was speechless.

This princess was very snobbish.

“Chase him out.”

He waved his hand, feeling that this princess was quite boring.

“You really think you’re still a princess?” Princess Qingmiao stifled her laughter. “The former king is already dead.”
