954 The Truth

Jiang Ming already understood what the servant said. He raised his hand to signal him to stop the topic.

Sikong Wuyuan could not help but feel resentful.

“These people can change the overall situation. Can we really use the same method?”

“Let’s change our method. But first, let’s go out and take a look.”

Jiang Ming stood up and looked at Sikong Wuyuan.

He strode forward and happened to see the protest. However, the protest also happened to see him.

After looking at each other for a second, the protesters immediately reacted. They took out the eggs and vegetables that they had prepared from their pockets and threw them at Jiang Ming.

The moment they arrived in front of Jiang Ming, he raised his hand. With a flash of spiritual energy, those things fell to the ground.

Jiang Ming shot out more spiritual energy. The attacks landed in front of the people.

They were unable to continue forward and returned after pa.s.sing through some things.

Seeing this, the marchers began to spout nonsense.

“You’re a horrible king! It’s fine if you hurt the ministers, but you actually hurt us innocent citizens. You should die!”

“Wicked king, stop being so cruel to the people. What are you here for?”

“If you know what’s good for you, you should abdicate. The prime minister is the real candidate!”

***

Jiang Ming was incredulous as he heard their words.

Led by this group of people, the other citizens also began to protest against Jiang Ming and kept shouting along with them.

Sikong Wuyuan was furious, but he could not say anything because of the current situation.

Jiang Ming turned around and left.

Now was not the time to come here and clarify things. There was a better method they could employ.

Jiang Ming turned around and went back to the prison. The prime minister had already heard the protest outside and was beginning to feel smug.

“Your Majesty, are you still going to treat me like this?” he asked coldly when he saw Jiang Ming. “Although I took your medicine, your condition doesn’t seem to be good.”

Sikong Wuyuan stepped forward and slapped the prime minister.

“How dare you be so arrogant?”

“I’m not scared of death! I’m happy to be able to use my life to drag you down.”

The prime minister laughed like a madman.

“You know that I have all the evidence,” Jiang Ming said with interest. “What do you think will happen to you if I reveal the evidence?”

The prime minister was stunned for a moment before he gritted his teeth and said, “It doesn’t matter if the evidence is out. My people have already laid an ambush. The evidence will disappear.”

“Then let’s wait and see!”

Jiang Ming gave the prime minister another pill.

This time, the prime minister did not want to swallow it no matter what. He shook his head repeatedly, but Jiang Ming stopped him.

Jiang Ming grabbed his neck tightly and lifted him up.

The prime minister felt suffocated and coughed non-stop.

Jiang Ming directly threw him aside, and the prime minister fell heavily against the wall.

Due to the great force, he could not help but knock out a tooth.

Blood flowed out of his mouth. The prime minister continued to laugh. “It doesn’t matter. If I die, so be it. I don’t care. I feel so good looking at you so angry.”

“I’m afraid you’ll have to pay the price for your actions next.”

Jiang Ming observed the change in the prime minister’s mood. The prime minister suddenly panicked. What was that medicine just now? However, as soon as he finished speaking, he realized that he seemed to have fallen into an illusion. Those hands appeared in front of him again.

He could not help but cry out in pain.

“No! Hurry up and save me. I’ll tell you everything about me. Please let me go.” The hands began to spread out.

Jiang Ming kept asking him what he had done.

The prime minister told him everything.

Then, he immediately came back to his senses. A group of commoners surrounded him and obviously heard what he had said. The commoners whispered and cursed.

They threw their eggs and vegetables at him.

“No, it’s not me. You’ve all misheard.” The prime minister shook his head repeatedly.

“You greedy b*stard! To think that we were so protective of you. So, these are your true colors. We have wronged the king.”

“If you still have a conscience, don’t continue to live here.”

“That’s right. You really disgust me. I’m about to die.”

***

The series of words made him feel pain. He staggered to his feet like a madman.

His hair had already disheveled, but he did not care and continued to walk toward the river.

This news quickly spread to the palace, and the number of ministers who were still kneeling decreased by a lot.

Jiang Ming could not help but be curious when he saw the ministers who continued to insist.

“How much did the prime minister pay you? Why are you still so persistent? The prime minister has already fallen. You should leave quickly.”

Unexpectedly, these ministers were still determined. “No matter what, everyone is p.r.o.ne to mistakes. Although the prime minister has made a big mistake, his crime is not worthy of death. Please let him retire and return to his hometown.”

“You guys have made quite a lot of unreasonable demands. So, you’re also involved in his corruption?”

Jiang Ming sat down unhurriedly, and the ministers could not help but panic.

“How can you think that way? How could we treat you like this? Please don’t think too much about it.”

“The prime minister is the prime minister. We are different people.”

Jiang Ming touched his palm.

“You know this too, so don’t delay me from dealing with the corrupt ministers. If anyone else kneels tomorrow, I’ll let them be with the prime minister. In addition, I’m going to select a new prime minister. I’ll release the news in a few days. I won’t choose from those who kneel tomorrow.”

With that said, the ministers were all motivated.

The leader of the ministers immediately changed his expression. He then said, “Your Majesty, there are many capable people among the ministers who knelt down. Why can’t they have the qualifications to partic.i.p.ate in the election?”

“This matter will be decided by me. If this debate continues, the ministers kneeling today will no longer have the qualifications to partic.i.p.ate in the election.”

Jiang Ming felt that this minister was too noisy and made a decision in his heart.

He had to demote this minister no matter what.

The other ministers quickly followed Jiang Ming. “Your Majesty, we understand. We won’t continue to argue.”

“Please select the prime minister according to our skills.”

“In order to show your perseverance, I will show the public that you are kneeling before the prime minister.”

Jiang Ming turned around and left.
