The visitor was somewhat prepared, and it was obviously not a good job to snatch food from other people's mouths.
But Zheng Xiong's anger and merciless scolding made the two of them sweat.
Not many officials would quarrel with each other, and now Zheng Xiong's reaction was beyond both of their expectations.
It is even rarer for a third-rank minister to directly scold a second-rank minister. The key point is the following offenses.
Fortunately, Zheng Xiong has the title of Marquis next to him, so the gap between the two levels can be bridged, and there is less excuse for him to use the topic to his advantage.
"Zheng Fuyin, the Ministry of Punishment is in charge of prisons and litigation. The Lord Shangshu has orders, and the government should cooperate with them instead of disobeying orders and being disrespectful. I also ask Lord Fuyin not to make it difficult for the two subordinates."
The two of them said these words in a respectful manner, obviously shocked by Zheng Xiong's words.
Of course, the attitude should still be there. After all, there is no doubt about who you are eating under.
These words were respectful, but they also showed the attitude of the two of them representing the Ministry of Justice. Even if they failed, they could still say they tried their best.
No matter how nice his attitude was, it was useless, Zheng Xiong was very angry and said directly.
"roll."
"Fu Yin Zheng, can you~"
"I don't want to say it a second time. If you don't get out, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
It didn't make sense to Zheng Xiong, and Zheng Xiong didn't give him a chance at all, so the two of them had no choice but to retreat first and then think of a solution.
After the two left, they went directly back to the Ministry of Justice and told the minister Zheng Xiong's words intact.
Knowing that Zheng Xiong's words were vulgar and disrespectful at all, even a superior officer like him was very angry when Zheng Xiong scolded him.
"Zheng Xiong really said that?"
"Yes, there is absolutely no deception."
After receiving the confirmation, Shangshu finally understood Zheng Xiong's attitude.
Although this is not very authentic, there are procedures that can be followed.
There is no problem with the procedure, but I can’t bear to be insulted by this young man like Zheng Xiong!
Immediately he slapped the table, anger filled his body, and he said angrily.
"Shuzi, how dare you insult me like this."
"Come here, order some people and follow me to the government office. I want to see if Shuzi is so brave and dares to insult me in person?"
Soon, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment gathered the people and headed to the government office in a mighty manner.
And Zheng Xiong didn't calm down, he was calming down.
Not long after, the judge ran up to Zheng Xiong in a hurry and shouted loudly.
"Lord Fu Yin, something serious has happened."
Unsatisfactory things happened one after another, which made Zheng Xiong, who had calmed down his anger a little, ignited it again.
"What happened again?"
"It's really not good this time. Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment brought people over, surrounded the government office, and asked Lord Fu Yin to go out and see him by name."
"Looking at the anger on Lord Shangshu's face, I'm afraid that the person who came here is evil. Lord Fu Yin, you should make preparations in advance!"
Zheng Xiong's anger had never been so intense at this moment.
He stood up suddenly and said angrily.
"He still has the nerve to come here, shameless."
"This time, no matter how many people he has, I want him to look good."
"Go and gather all the arresting team members in the government office for me. Together with me, we will meet with this Lord Shangshu."
"Yes, sir, I'll go right away."
The judge left in a hurry again. If he didn't hurry, people would knock on his door and cause trouble. If he didn't hurry, something would happen.
The Minister of Punishment who was waiting outside the government office was impatient and just wanted to break in.
Zheng Xiong arrived late and frowned as he looked at the people coming.
However, having a fast catcher behind him made Zheng Xiong feel at ease.
Zheng Xiong was so angry that he didn't even salute and said directly to the Minister of Punishment in a joking manner.
"The person opposite is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment? I wonder what you do to come to this government office?"
This sentence
After all, Zheng Xiong still saved some face and did not get angry directly.
The Minister of Punishment, relying on the official and senior officials, asked directly without giving Zheng Xiong face.
"I am the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. I have been in the position for a long time and have never been scolded by my colleagues. How dare you insult me like this? What are your intentions?"
If you haven't been scolded, it means you haven't met me. Where do you get your confidence?
Zheng Xiong thought like this, but he started to fight back and said without giving in.
"If someone wants to scold you, of course I will satisfy him. How come the scolding has reached your head, Master Shangshu?"
"It's my fault for not taking your big face into account. I admit my mistake."
"Is there anything else? You can leave if you don't. I will see you off far away. Goodbye."
The straightforward words made the Minister of Punishment turn pale with anger.
So insulting.
"Shuzi, you've gone too far to deceive others. I'm going to ask you now if you will insist on going your own way and disobey the orders of the Ministry of Punishment."
"Yes or no?"
Zheng Xiong said with a mocking smile.
"Master Shangshu is serious. The government can do these things without any trouble."
"If Lord Shangshu is really too busy, I can find something for you to do so that you don't get sick, which would be bad."
Once again, he ran into a wall with Zheng Xiong, and the Minister of Punishment had completely given up on Zheng Xiong.
This yin and yang look really deserves a beating. Even after going through the ups and downs of the officialdom, the Minister of Punishment still can't be complacent.
"You have to let it go today, or let it go if you don't. I'm already here, there's no reason to go back empty-handed."
"Come on, follow me to the government office. I want to see who dares to stop me."
Who dares to stop you? Zheng Xiong dismissed it and blurted out.
"I dare to stop you."
The Minister of Punishment ignored Zheng Xiong and let him rush forward.
And Zheng Xiong waved his hands, and the fast-hands of the government's catching team came out from behind Zheng Xiong.
When the people from the Ministry of Punishment saw the Kuaishou of the government office, they stopped their charge and confronted the Kuaishou of the Kuaishou.
The situation was at a stalemate.
Neither side gives in to the other.
At this moment, the soldiers and horses patrolling the city heard that there was a disturbance in the government office, and the nearby personnel rushed over immediately.
I was shocked when I arrived.
Zheng Xiong naturally recognized him because he had been to the Military and Horse Division and there was cooperation between the two parties.
The official robes worn by the Minister of Justice also aroused the awe of the small team of soldiers and horses.
It is a compulsory course to recognize official robes when patrolling the capital, so it is natural to recognize these second-class servants.
There are also many mid-level officials in the teams of both sides.
Seeing the tense situation between the two sides, this magical lineup, the small team of troops from the Military and Horse Division shrank their heads, and then passed by the two sides as if no one was around, and left without looking away.
Zheng Xiong and the Minister of Punishment ignored such a small incident and allowed him to leave.
Of course, such a small episode also attracted some attention and delayed some time, allowing both parties to calm down a little.
With this time buffer.
The Minister of Punishment calmed down his anger a little.
Seeing that Zheng Xiong was out of luck and it was impossible to fight fiercely, he could only suffer some losses and take a step back.
"Very good."
"Yin Zheng, remember what you said today. The future is long, and I will see if you are still so arrogant."
"Walk."
