Quick Wear: The Demon Lord blew up the tomb at the beginning

Chapter 131: Become the Minister of Justice (12)

Other officials also nodded. Who knows what they have experienced in the past few months.

They saw with their own eyes that those officials who had given and accepted bribes were singled out by Xie Lang at the next court meeting and turned into human pigs in front of all the civil and military officials in the court.

Then they soaked in wine jars and placed the wine jars on both sides of the queue before starting the court session.

The officials who were turned into human pigs were still struggling in the wine jars before they died. The smell of blood filled the entire hall, and everyone's legs and feet were shaking with fear.

That's not attending court, that's being tortured!

Those officials who are still serving in the court have already written their suicide notes, fearing that one day they will violate Xie Lang's taboo and die in the court meeting.

Moreover, these officials cannot resign. As everyone knows, resigning will accelerate the arrival of death. Only a very few people can successfully resign, otherwise they would have wanted to run away long ago.

Now they saw that Xu Guanghai was openly bribing, so they stayed as far away from him as possible. He wanted to die himself and didn't want to implicate them.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps was heard, neither fast nor slow. The official inside saw a figure walking into the door, and his whole body instantly tensed up and trembled slightly.

"Your humble servant greets His Excellency the Minister."

All the officials temporarily put aside their work and bowed respectfully in the direction of Xie Lang.

When Xu Guanghai heard about the behavior of those officials, he felt it was unbelievable. Even if he was a minister, he would not make them so scared.

Looking at their expressions, it was as if they saw the King of Hell or something like that. Could it be that this Minister of Justice would eat people?

But he was not a fool. Seeing these officials behave in this way, he imitated their actions, turned around, bowed his head slightly and saluted towards Xie Lang: "This humble official greets the Shangshu Lord."

Then he glanced at the person who came with his peripheral vision. When he saw the person's face, Xu Guanghai froze in place instantly, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his mind went blank.

She was wearing a crimson official uniform, her face was handsome and flawless, her eyes were as black as ink, as deep as the abyss. She stood there, looking into Xu Guanghai's eyes, emitting an invisible aura that made the atmosphere around them suddenly quiet.

How...how could it be her?

After Xu Guanghai saw Xie Lang's face, he stood there in a daze, and the respect on his face turned into disbelief.

"How could it be you Xu Yingqing? How could it be you the Minister of Justice?" Xu Guanghai immediately put aside his salute and questioned Xie Lang.

His daughter actually became the Minister of Justice.

This is too... too outrageous.

"Long time no see, father. I didn't expect that we would meet in this situation. How about it? It's a surprise, right?" Xie Lang had a faint smile on his lips, as if he was mocking or laughing at a joke.

A subtle atmosphere permeated the entire venue.

The officials present were all shocked when they heard this. Xu Guanghai was actually Xie Lang's father.

Wow, the father has become his son’s subordinate.

"It was you who transferred me to the capital to serve as the head of the Ministry of Justice." Xu Guanghai seemed to have thought of something and his face turned pale instantly.

"it's me."

After hearing this answer, Xu Guanghai suddenly felt that this promotion was not so attractive.

He came to the capital from Linshui County and knew very little about the affairs in the capital. If Xie Lang really regarded him as her father, she would not have transferred him to the Ministry of Justice to be her subordinate, and she would not have failed to explain some things in the capital to him.

Coupled with Xie Lang's slightly sarcastic expression now, he always felt that the other party treated him as a clown.

"Father, you seemed to be blatantly bribing just now, right? Do you know how I deal with such people?"

Xie Lang had a faint smile on his face as he explained to Xu Guanghai, "Of course, we will make these officials who gave and accepted bribes into human pigs at the morning court session and soak them in a wine jar so that they will learn from their mistakes and not dare to commit the same mistake again."

The calm tone made people shudder. The officials who heard Xie Lang's words trembled all over because they knew it was true.

Xu Guanghai's forehead was also oozing with cold sweat at this time. He looked at Xie Lang. Xie Lang's smile at this moment seemed to him to be the smile of a devil. Although the smile was bright, it made him feel cold in his heart.

"Of course, father doesn't need to be nervous. It's normal for father not to know since he just arrived in the capital, so I won't blame him this time." Xie Lang said, turning to an official behind him and said to him, "Li Changzhou, you are also the chief officer, so my father will be handed over to you. Take him to familiarize himself with the official duties."

Li Changzhou was shocked when he heard this, and his face looked a little embarrassed, but seeing Xie Lang's unquestionable gaze, he dared not refuse anymore, so he smiled with an expression that was uglier than crying: "Yes, Lord Shangshu."

At this time, Xie Lang reminded him: "You must not be partial to him just because he is my father. Public affairs should be handled impartially, otherwise I will find you to punish you."

"Yes, Shangshu."

Li Changzhou had joined Xie Lang several months ago, so Xie Lang delegated many things to Li Changzhou.

Hearing Xie Lang's words, Li Changzhou instantly understood what Xie Lang meant.

Xu Guanghai, who was listening to the conversation between Xie Lang and Li Changzhou, immediately roared at Xie Lang: "Xu Yingqing, I am your father."

Look at her attitude. Is this the attitude of a normal child towards her father?

"It is precisely because you are my father that I am more tolerant of you. Otherwise, based on the fact that your father just bribed my officials in the Ministry of Justice, you would not be standing here now." Xie Lang's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile, and his cold words echoed in the hall: "The country has its laws, the family has its rules, and the public and private should be clearly distinguished. Now there is no father and son. I am the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and you are the head of the Ministry of Justice. Don't forget your identity."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present showed exaggerated expressions. They stared at the scene in front of them, all of them horrified.

Is there any hatred between the father and son? Is this how the distinction between public and private is used?

A father can do this to his son, but a son can never do this to his father.

In the past, they would have already severely punished such unfilial behavior.

Filial piety is the foundation of life. As a child, no matter how high your official position is, you must be filial. Otherwise, you will be charged with being unfilial and lose your job no matter how high your official position is.

But they all kept silent at this time, they knew what the consequences would be if they spoke.

"Okay, okay!!! Xu Yingqing, you are so proud of yourself now that you are the Minister of Justice, right? Believe it or not, if I tell anyone about that, your position as the Minister of Justice will be over..."

"Father, what do you want to say?" Xie Lang walked slowly to Xu Guanghai with a faint smile on his face.

This sentence instantly made Xu Guanghai speechless. He looked at Xie Lang but was unable to utter a word.

He didn't dare. Once he revealed that Xie Lang was a woman, he might be implicated.

He didn't dare to do it until he was absolutely sure.

Xie Lang sneered at this, then walked into the Ministry of Justice, leaving a message before leaving: "What a waste."

When Xu Guanghai heard this, his face turned pale instantly.
