The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Chapter 589: Arrogant Relations

"Hmph... You want to arrest me. I don't know what I have done wrong. If you don't give me an explanation, I'm afraid you will be in big trouble!" Fu Weide looked at Chu Yan'er jokingly.

Chu Yan'er looked at Fu Weide coldly and said calmly, "What crime have you committed? You built a smoking house and harmed the people. You deserve to be executed. Tell me what crime you committed..."

"Really? I'm afraid you are not qualified to judge what I have done wrong... Today, I want to see how you dare to arrest me..." Fu Weide smiled jokingly when he heard this.

He seemed to not care at all, let alone Chu Yan'er's instructions. He seemed to know that what he did was immoral, but he was not worried!

No wonder he would think this way, since he has a brother who is the governor!

As soon as he said this, a team of about 300 city guards appeared not far away. In addition to the city guards, nearly a hundred government servants also rushed over here.

These people were aggressive and murderous, and their leader was a general on horseback.

Seeing these people appear, all the people's faces changed slightly, showing helplessness and anger on their faces. There were people who made trouble in front of the tobacco shop before, but in the end, they were arrested.

The ones who arrested people were the yamen runners and the city guards. Everyone knew that these city guards and yamen runners were here for the people from the Inspection Department. Today, if they wanted to arrest Fu Weide, it would be impossible!

Fu Weide looked even more smug as he watched the yamen runners and the city guards appear. Looking at Chu Yan'er, his face showed a hint of sarcasm, mockery, and a hint of smugness.

“Haha… It seems that you can’t catch me today. By the way, today, don’t even think about leaving Yongning Mansion. Stay here forever!” His voice was playful, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

His words made Chu Yan'er frown, and Chu Xiaoya and the other three guards showed anger. Fu Weide's intention was obviously to kill them.

He is so bold that he even dares to kill people from the Inspection Department.

"Are you planning to kill us? Aren't you afraid that it will be reported to the higher authorities? Killing people from the Inspection Department is a capital crime! Even your brother the Governor can't save you?!" Chu Yan'er looked at Fu Weide and said.

The Inspection Bureau is a newly established department, which is considered to be at the level of an imperial envoy. Even local governors dare not act rashly when they see it.

"Haha, so what if I kill you? At that time, as long as the prefect says that you died at the hands of Japanese pirates or bandits, the matter will be resolved! What am I worried about?"

Fu Weide laughed sarcastically, looking calm. What he said was quite right. Only if the prefect colluded with them, the people from the Inspection Department would die unclearly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the yamen runners and city guards rushing over and immediately surrounded the more than 50 people from the Inspection Department.

The leading general and the chief constable quickly ran to Fu Weide. They bowed and nodded, saying in a fawning manner, "Boss Fu, I'm sorry to scare you. Don't worry, with us here, no one can touch you... not even the people from the Inspection Department!"

Seeing the fawning looks on the two men's faces, Chu Yan'er's eyes became even colder. As he had guessed, the city guards and the people from the government office were in collusion with Fu Weide.

Otherwise, a smoking den like this that is so evil and causes families to be destroyed would not have existed for so long.

They are really bold. They know that they are from the Inspection Department, but they don't take them seriously at all. It seems that we need to increase our efforts to clean up this place.

Chu Yan'er decided to have a good discussion with Jiang Fan about this matter. Whether it was the local evil forces or the integrity of officials, they had to speed up the rectification.

If these bad apples are allowed to exist, not only will the people's lives become miserable, but the foundation of the country will also be shaken.

"I'm not frightened, you two. I now hope that these people will kneel down and apologize to me. I wonder what they will do!" Fu Weide looked at the two of them and said proudly.

Having said that, he looked at Chu Yan'er and the others with a gloomy face. This guy wanted to humiliate Chu Yan'er and the others here to avenge himself for being captured just now.

Upon hearing this, the general and the head of the police quickly responded. Then, they looked at the people in the Inspection Department and said with a cold and arrogant look on their faces: "Did you hear that? Now, kneel down and apologize to Master Fu immediately. This general can still give you a way out, otherwise..."

His voice was cold and there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

"Oh... do you know that we are from the Inspection Department? You are so lawless, aren't you afraid of being investigated by the court?!" Chu Yan'er looked at the general who spoke.

"Hold us?! Haha, in Yongning Prefecture, this general is the king, and the prefect is the king. Who can hold us accountable? What you should think about now is whether you can leave here alive. If you are obedient, I can give you a way to live. Otherwise..."

The general looked at Chu Yan'er jokingly, like a local emperor.

His words made the people standing by angry, but they dared not say a word.

Chu Yan'er was so angry at the attitude of the people in front of her that she laughed. She didn't expect that the local area would be so rotten. But think about it, because of the cleansing of the imperial court, there are loopholes in the selection of officials in various places.

There really was a shortage of talent at the time, so it is not impossible that some unscrupulous people were selected.

The general in front of him should have been selected from the Zhoufu Army. As for the current prefect of Yongning Prefecture, it is unknown where he was selected from.

But in order to gain status, these two people actually began to curry favor with Fu Weimin. It is unlikely that Fu Weimin didn't know about this.

But it is hard to say how much Fu Weimin really knows. Judging from the current situation alone, Fu Weimin's tenure as governor has come to an end.

Chu Yan'er looked at the general opposite her, and said with a slight smile: "Really? That's a pity. We don't know whether we will live or not. Today, you will live to the end!"

The general in front of her made Chu Yan'er want to kill him. If this kind of scourge stayed in Yongning Prefecture, Yongning Prefecture would only become worse. Such a cancer could not be left.

As soon as she said this, the generals and the captain of the police on the opposite side, as well as Fu Weide, were all stunned. They couldn't understand how this man in front of them could be so arrogant in such a desperate situation. Who did he think he was!

A few people were about to make a few sarcastic remarks, but at this moment, a hurried sound of footsteps was heard, and then countless white-robed soldiers appeared. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of city guards and constables surrounded the white-robed soldiers in front of them.

Seeing this scene, the general and the captain's face suddenly changed, and they all looked at the white-robed army in surprise.

At this moment, a general of the White Robe Army ran quickly to Chu Yan'er and knelt down immediately.

"I am sorry for being late in coming to your rescue. Please forgive me, Princess Qin!" he said respectfully.

As soon as he said this, Fu Weide, the city guards and the head of the police, who had just looked so proud, turned pale and lost their arrogance and domineering attitude. There was only fear in their eyes.
