Chapter 309 Fudge’s shame
"Explanation? It's me who needs an explanation"!
Fudge angrily hammered the floor of the carriage with his cane.
"You are here to attack Aurors on duty in the Department of Justice and injure senior officials of the Ministry of Magic. Do you want to do harm to the wizarding world?"
Fudge asked fiercely.
"Ah, my dear Mr. Minister, you still seem a little arrogant."
Zhang Qi walked over very casually, but Fudge actively avoided his eyes.
That's because he found that the child's brown right eye seemed to be a little yellow, and when he looked directly at it, he would feel a little uncomfortable.
"I think you are the one who didn't understand the situation! Your Aurors moved on my fiancée and his sister under the instruction of that pink toad. What do you mean by that?"
"What? How could it be"...
Fudge glanced at Umbridge who was lying on the ground with a guilty conscience, and suddenly had his own guess in his mind.
He just asked Scrimgeour to conduct a thorough search. It would be best if he could receive evidence. If he could not find any evidence, he would use this matter to express his dissatisfaction.
However, despite all his calculations, he never expected that his assistant would be so stupid as to take the initiative to use his own feet to get out of the thunder!
"Nonsense! Officials from the Ministry of Magic would not do such a thing"!
"But Ms. Umbridge did do such a thing. I tried to dissuade her from the side, but it obviously had no effect."
Dumbledore said very calmly next to him.
"You, you are all talking nonsense"!
After Umbridge saw Fudge arriving, she became energetic again like a dog seeing its owner, and immediately began to cry.
"Minister Fudge, they violently resisted the law, knocked me to the ground, and cut my face with broken glass!"
"Shut your mouth."
Unable to bear it any longer, Astoria kicked the pink toad's cheek hard with her toes, and several teeth flew out immediately.
The round-toed boots customized by Hekmedia have a steel plate added to the toe, which is particularly suitable for kicking people.
"Ah, yes, that's what you have to do to deal with such an old woman with a mean mouth and weak hands."
Zhang Qi pretended to be very satisfied and nodded, then turned his head to Fudge with a smile.
"So, Secretary Fudge, how do you plan to end today's affairs?"
"Let's find a private room to talk."
Fudge stabilized his emotions and tried to put on a smile on his face.
"I don't think we need to find a private room to talk. This is the Slytherin carriage. Slytherins are pure-blood families who give you money. If there is any scandal, you shouldn't avoid them."
Zhang Qi said in a loud voice deliberately.
"Mr. Zirol! This matter is indeed the Ministry of Magic's mistake. We will definitely reprimand the relevant personnel after we return!"
Fudge saw that the atmosphere here seemed a little bad, so he hurriedly said to Zhang Qi.
"It turns out that the Ministry of Magic official only had to be reprimanded after ordering his subordinates to harass girls"!
Zhang Qi's face was calm a second ago, but now his eyes suddenly widened and his face was filled with anger.
"What do you mean? Do you think we are fools? Think about where your money comes from, idiot"!
Zhang Qi roared in Fudge's face.
"Please don't be so rude, Mr. Zirol."
Fudge wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and kept smiling.
"Yes, I also think Mr. Zirol has lost his temper a little bit, and I won't do that."
At this moment, Daphne, whose hand had returned to normal, said calmly next to her:
"In view of the recent inability of the Ministry of Magic to maintain security and stability in the wizarding world, the Greengrass family has announced that it will temporarily close the Quidditch boutique and potions shop in the prime location of Diagon Alley. The specific reopening time is related to the restoration of security and is currently to be determined. ".
"The Zirol family will also close its shop in Diagon Alley, and the reopening time is also to be determined."
Zhang Qi continued next to him.
"Minister Fudge, I'm sorry to inform you that if the shop is closed, there will be no income. Without income, there will be no need to pay taxes. I hope you can still afford the salary of the Aurors of the Department of Justice in two weeks."
"Don't think about your political donations. Today you dare to let your men harass the young ladies of the Greengrass family. Then tomorrow you dare to attack the boys of the Malfoy family. Other families will definitely give you money now. The government has set up barriers at all levels, because who knows if you have the same hobbies as those in the Inquisition."
Daphne immediately added the knife next to her and said.
"No, you can't do this. We can discuss everything."
Fudge immediately panicked when he heard this. If his funds were cut off, the operation of the Ministry of Magic would suffer devastating damage.
Over the years, the Ministry of Magic's main income has come from the taxes paid by these families, so once they confront themselves in this way, although the pure-blood families will not make money, their rich heritage can It took me a long time to carry it, but I couldn’t do it!
"In fact, the solution is very simple. Either this old woman packs up and gets out, or you get out of the position of minister."
Zhang Qi leaned close to Fuji's ear and said softly.
"Mr. Zirol, you know she is mine and I cannot attack my own men."
There was a trace of bitterness on Fudge's face.
"We have many confidants, but actually it's not a big deal if one dies."
Zhang Qi spread his hands indifferently.
"I gave you a chance last time, but obviously you didn't cherish that opportunity, and you didn't take it to educate your subordinates, so I will be the only one to help you educate them."
"Mr. Zirol, I will deal with her when I go back. This time I promise, I will let her go to the centaur office to communicate with those beasts immediately, but I really can't fire her because that will reduce my prestige. of".
Fudge said in a very pleading tone.
"I think that's enough, Connelly, you really should manage your team."
At this time, Dumbledore came over and eased the tense atmosphere a little.
He couldn't watch his student make this too rigid, although deep down he did believe that Zhang Qi had the ability to make Fudge die in the bathroom while taking a shower one day.
Although Fudge is said to be very stupid and powerful, his behavior is easy to predict. As long as he can be temporarily exploited by some occasional small favors, such Ministry of Magic officials are actually more conducive to the stability of this place.
Dumbledore didn't want to control the wizarding world by controlling the Minister of Magic. This was something that Grindelwald would do, but he had to secretly adjust the balance a little so that the crisis-ridden wizarding world could stay safe and sound for a while. .
And after he passes away, the world will truly belong to these children.
By that time, these children have accumulated enough experience, and deep down they will agree with their own ideals about love.
Only in this way can the magical world achieve beneficial changes, or maintain the status quo and continue to live in a corner of the world safely and unharmed.
