The Cold-Faced God of War's Favored Concubine Is Not to Be Tried

The Prime Minister's Mansion is located in the center of the capital, facing south and occupying the most prosperous and noble area of ​​the capital. Its location is close to the imperial palace, symbolizing the prime minister's lofty status as second only to the emperor and above everyone else.

The front door of the Prime Minister's Mansion faces the main road of the capital, with the hustle and bustle of traffic and people coming and going, showing the prosperity and bustle of the capital.

Starting from the Prime Minister's Mansion, you can go directly to the Imperial Palace to the north, to the commercial and residential areas of the capital to the south, and to the east and west are the residences of civil and military officials and important temples in the capital. This geographical location not only highlights the important position of the Prime Minister in the court, but also facilitates the Prime Minister's contact and communication with officials inside and outside the court.

In the deep courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the sunlight shines through the delicate window lattices, sprinkling on the gloomy face of Prime Minister Zuo Wenyuan. He sits on the armchair in the study, with a burly figure, and the gorgeous court clothes can hardly cover up the biting coldness emanating from him. The Prime Minister's face should be majestic and solemn, but at this moment, his face is covered with an almost ferocious expression.

There was a sharp light flashing in his eyes, like two unsheathed swords, piercing people's hearts. A deep wrinkle between his eyebrows depicted his inner cruelty and decisiveness. The corners of his mouth drooped slightly, as if he was wearing a sneer, which was full of desire for power and disdain for the enemy.

Wang Fu, the butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion, was a middle-aged man in his fifties, with a burly figure, a serious face, and wearing a dark blue robe. He slowly approached the door of the study.

He knocked on the door gently, and when he heard the voice "Come in" from inside, he pushed the door open and walked in.

Wang Fu walked to Zuo Wenyuan, bowed his head slightly, and said respectfully: "Master, I have something important to report."

Zuo Wenyuan raised his head, glanced at Wang Fu, and nodded, indicating that he could continue.

"I went to check it out myself! No body was found! But I did find this." He spread out his palm, which contained a jade pendant and a jade bracelet wrapped in the butler's handkerchief.

The jade pendant is a delicate and small pendant, as if it was tailor-made for innocent children. The jade pendant is light green, as smooth as jade, and exudes a natural soft luster. It is shaped like a lively and cute little rabbit, with its ears erect, as if listening to the sounds around it, and its eyes are bright and lively, as if it can communicate with people. The entire jade pendant is carved in great detail, and even the rabbit's short tail is lifelike, giving people a warm and lovely feeling.

The jade bracelet is a more elegant jade article. It presents a deep emerald green color, like a pool of spring water, warm and full of vitality. The appearance of the jade bracelet is round and full, smooth and delicate, revealing a noble and elegant temperament. The bracelet is engraved with exquisite patterns, and each line is smooth and powerful, as if telling an ancient and mysterious story.

When the housekeeper said that the body was not found, Zuo Wenyuan's face was terribly gloomy. But when he saw those things, his face looked better.

"Where did you find it? Did you see it with your own eyes?" he asked eagerly, his words tinged with anticipation.

The housekeeper knew that Zuo Wenyuan was happy this time, and smiled flatteringly: "Yes, I found it and picked it up myself. It was in their yard. According to the people who inquired, the fire was the most intense there at that time, and no one could save it if they wanted to. It must have been burned to ashes!"

"Hahahahahaha..." When the left prime minister heard the news that the school lieutenant's mansion was reduced to ashes, he laughed out loud with joy. The laughter echoed in the solemn and dignified study, sounding particularly harsh.

It turns out that the Colonel's Office has always been the focus of power struggles in the court.

In the court, power is the core interest. As the head of all officials, the prime minister has always sought to expand his sphere of influence to ensure the stability of his position. As an institution that holds certain military power, the existence of the Xiaowei Mansion poses a threat to the prime minister's power. Therefore, the prime minister regards the Xiaowei Mansion as a competitor and constantly seeks to weaken its influence.

There were also personal grudges, which made the Prime Minister more determined to take action against the Colonel's Office.

Xu had been secretly planning and waiting for this moment to come. Now, his goal has finally been achieved.
