Chapter 339 Conversation and Interests
"Is it okay if I want her life"?
Zhang Qi asked softly.
"...You, you must be joking, right? This kind of joke is not funny. Killing people will lead to Azkaban."
After hearing this, Fudge shivered violently.
"Ordinary wizards may go to Azkaban even if they don't kill people, but purebloods won't, at least not me."
"The Zirol family is a consortium, and in Europe, even if a large consortium kills people, there will be no consequences, because the consortium has money and can settle all this."
Zhang Qi finished these words with an extremely indifferent attitude.
"I suggest you come up with some very sincere solutions, otherwise I am not sure whether Ms. Umbridge who ran into the Forbidden Forest can take care of herself safely."
"... Of course, the Ministry of Magic is absolutely sincere about this matter."
Fudge glanced at Dumbledore in confusion, and became completely desperate after seeing the old man moving his phoenix there intently.
Dumbledore was determined not to get involved in this matter, so he could only show some sincerity.
"The Ministry of Magic plans to purchase some office supplies. If the Zirol family is interested, they can entrust it to you. We are willing to pay high prices for good products."
Fudge said tentatively.
"Isn't that great, Minister Fudge, but if it's just office supplies, the family won't actually earn much"...
Zhang Qi deliberately lengthened his tone.
"It's time to replace the brooms of the Auror Action Team. I need to trouble you about this matter."
Fudge gritted his teeth and then continued:
"And in the future, the magic potion raw materials imported by the Qirol family will enjoy fast customs entry and low taxes."
"Your thoughts are really sincere, so I have prepared a gift for you."
Zhang Qi nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, what gift is it?"
Fudge suddenly panicked at this moment. He was really afraid that Zhang Qi would take out a human head from his pocket and throw it on his table.
"I want to ask you something, Minister Fudge, during your predecessor's term, did Sirius Black ever go through a full trial before he was imprisoned"?
Zhang Qi deliberately emphasized the word predecessor, hoping that the minister with a keen sense of smell would understand what he meant.
"Well, there were too many criminals who needed to be sentenced at that time, so it is normal for the steps to be reduced."
Fudge was still the Secretary of Justice of the Ministry of Magic at the time, and he was very impressed by that trial.
"Then have you considered the possibility of an unjust, false or wrongful conviction? After all, this was during the term of your predecessor."
Zhang Qi once again emphasized the word predecessor.
"You mean, he was wrongly accused"?
Fudge asked a little surprised, and at the same time he began to make intensive calculations in his heart.
If this criminal is really wronged, then he can take the opportunity to publicize it and improve his reputation.
"The remaining facts are up to you and Principal Dumbledore to decide for yourself. However, I sent a bottle of truth serum from Professor Snape. You can use it when the time comes."
Zhang Qi placed a small bottle on the coffee table, then placed the suitcase he carried on the ground and tapped it lightly with the edge of his wand.
After a while, a hand stretched out out of thin air from inside the suitcase, and then a person climbed out of it.
"Blake"!
Fudge shrank back in fear, and then raised the wand in his hand.
"Don't worry, Minister, with Principal Dumbledore and me here, there is absolutely no way he can hurt you."
"However, whether this matter can be used to your advantage or not depends on you."
Zhang Qi stood up and opened the door of the reception room, then walked out and closed the door again.
"Excuse me, Professor Dumbledore."
"..."
Dumbledore rubbed his temples with a headache.
Zhang Qi didn't even tell him that the wanted criminal was beside him. As a result, although Lao Deng had a calm expression on his face, he was a little panicked inside.
"So, Secretary Fudge, do you need me to take Veritaserum?"
Blake's speech was a little weak, but it fit the character of a man who had just escaped from prison.
"Long time no see, Blake, I didn't expect our meeting to be so dramatic this time."
Dumbledore sighed.
"You can only drink three drops. If you drink too much, you will become stupid. We don't want you to become stupid now."
Dumbledore warned.
"Don't worry, Dumbledore, I'm not that far away."
Blake looked at Fudge, whose hands were shaking slightly in front of him, sneered, and finally drank the coffee with three drops of Veritaserum added.
"Mr. Minister, we don't have much time, please start asking."
Dumbledore said to Fudge.
…………
"Son, how was your conversation with Mr. Minister?"
Seeing Zhang Qi come out, Arthur, who had been waiting outside, immediately asked with concern.
"Don't worry, Uncle Arthur. I won't actually chop off that old woman's head with a knife, but I will definitely let her suffer a little before she is released and teach her a profound lesson."
"Well kid, it's illegal to harm a Ministry of Magic official".
Arthur said hesitantly.
"How did I hurt the Ministry of Magic official? The bruises on her body were obviously from accidentally rolling down the steps of Hogwarts. As for her testimony and those confused memories, they were due to hallucinations after the concussion, and It has nothing to do with me being a good and law-abiding student."
Zhang Qi spread his hands and said innocently.
"It's so similar to your mother. She said the same thing after kicking half of Blake's ribs."
Arthur nodded.
"As for my mother's violent temper, she would usually retaliate directly on the spot if she had a grudge, but if she didn't retaliate on the spot"...
"That proves that that person is dead."
The two people were chatting happily outside the door. After about half an hour, the door inside finally opened.
"Minister...he is"?
Arthur walked over quickly, and then saw someone in the room and let out an exclamation.
"Long time no see, Arthur, you have gained weight in middle age."
Blake staggered toward the door.
"Mr. Black was wrongly accused, and sorry Arthur, you may have to work overtime tonight".
Fudge walked out with a confident look on his face.
"Screengeour"!
"Yes, Minister".
"Let those people under you stop looking for Mr. Black. He is innocent. Now call all your people to the Ministry of Magic. We are going to Hogwarts to capture the real murderer"!
Fudge shouted to Scrimgeour very excitedly.
"Who to arrest? Minister".
"Peter who died in that explosion ten years ago"!
