Zhao Yinghong was the Minister of Works, in charge of all the craftsmen and large-scale projects in the court.

Moreover, Emperor Wu also ordered that more protection be provided to the defensive cities in the north, and their Ministry of Works would naturally send a large number of craftsmen to the north.

As for the Sixth Prince's disaster relief in East China, it had nothing to do with him, so Zhao Yinghong was too lazy to care about it.

He actually hoped that the Sixth Prince would come to the Ministry of Works to cause trouble for him so that he could give him a good report.

Zhao Yinghong was full of confidence and was deliberately trying to make things difficult for the Sixth Prince, the most arrogant and domineering man in the capital.

Several people toasted each other and occasionally complained and despised the Sixth Prince, thinking that such a person would sooner or later be in big trouble.

All of the Fourth Prince's followers naturally hoped that the Sixth Prince would be in trouble, and they all told Zhao Yinghong not to help him at all, leaving the Sixth Prince to repair the river embankment in Jiangdong for disaster relief without any craftsmen available.

Zhao Yinghong also patted his chest and guaranteed on the spot that he, the Sixth Prince, was nothing and would be driven out if he came to the Ministry of Works.

At this time, a servant with a bruised face and nose was hurriedly brought in by the housekeeper.

"Master, something serious has happened."

Several people at the banquet looked over, and Zhao Yinghong frowned slightly: "Why is there such a commotion? Can't you see I'm just catching up with some old friends? It's so disrespectful to make such a fuss."

This housekeeper actually yelled in public, making Zhao Yinghong feel embarrassed in front of his old friend.

The housekeeper no longer cared about the master's scolding. He said anxiously, "Master, yes, something happened to the young master."

"Jianwen?" Zhao Yinghong looked dissatisfied. "Where did he go to cause trouble again? Tell me, who did he beat up this time?"

His son Zhao Jianwen often caused trouble for him, beating this person or that person, and even caused a death.

But he cleaned up the mess and dealt with it. Those of noble status only had to pay compensation and apologize.

It was nothing more than a fight caused by the hot-headedness of young people. Most people would give him the face of a Shangshu and not take it to heart.

If they were to deal with people of ordinary status, or even ordinary citizens, they would beat them to death without any scruples.

No one dared to put his son in jail.

The housekeeper said bitterly: "Master, someone has captured the young master."

"What?" Zhao Yinghong was incredulous and even furious. He said in a loud voice, "Whoever dares to arrest my son is a jerk."

Even the old friends at the table were surprised.

They are old friends of Zhao Yinghong, so they naturally know that Zhao Yinghong has a son who likes to stir up trouble.

He was a real bully in the capital, and he even dared to beat the families of dukes and marquises. Now someone dared to arrest Zhao Yinghong's son. Didn't this make Zhao Yinghong angry?

Zhao Yinghong only has this son, how could he allow such a situation to happen?

The servant who came to report the news finally kowtowed on the ground: "Master, I didn't know."

"The young master went to Wangyue Tower for dinner, but was caught by someone who appeared out of nowhere and beat him up. He even threatened him with a sword and told me to come back and ask the old man to come back quickly, otherwise, the young master's life would be in danger."

The servant did give a rough idea of how dangerous the young master was.

But Zhao Yinghong's face turned pale and he threw the teacup on the table.

He no longer had his usual gentle demeanor.

"You bastard, you dare to arrest my son, Zhao Yinghong? You're courting death."

"Go and bring all the guards. I will personally take care of this ignorant fellow."

Zhao Yinghong didn't care about his old friends at the table. He stood up angrily, gave his orders and left.

The confrontation is still going on at Wangyue Tower.

The servants were holding weapons in their hands, and their faces were bruised and swollen.

In particular, there were several people on the opposite side, who were also holding swords in their hands, and there was a headless corpse on the ground.

Ning Yi was still sitting steadily on the chair. In front of him was Zhao Jianwen, who was lying on the ground with a pale face.

Faced with this situation, many thugs from Wangyue Tower also came to capture Ning Yi.

But Qin Haifeng held a long knife in his hand and threatened: "If you dare to come forward, you will be killed."

His threats really made people feel a little overwhelmed.

Several yamen runners from Jingzhao Prefecture came, each holding chains in their hands.

A housekeeper in Wangyue Tower shouted, "Hurry up and arrest these murderers. We will not allow such people to stay in Wangyue Tower any longer."

These yamen runners were naturally very fierce.

They are afraid of Wangyue Tower because of its powerful background.

Zhao Jianwen, who was on the ground, saw the yamen runners coming and shouted even more enthusiastically: "I am the son of the Minister of Works. Come and save me and put them all in jail."

When the captain of the police saw this, he was shocked. Not only did they kill someone in Wangyue Tower, but they even pinned the Shangshu's son to the ground.

These people are so vicious.

But when they faced other people, they were not afraid at all. They rushed over shouting and holding chains in their hands.

"How dare you kill someone in public? Arrest them."

The captain was quite proactive.

But as soon as he got closer, a gust of cold wind blew directly onto his neck.

The experienced captain was so frightened that he immediately stopped him with the chain in his hand.

A flash of fire passed by, scaring the captain so much that he retreated in a sweat and pointed at the big man Qin Haifeng: "You, you dare to arrest me, you are trying to rebel."

Qin Haifeng snorted coldly: "If you dare to come forward, I will chop off your head."

He pointed his sword at the yamen runners and said, "I'm telling you clearly, if you dare to come forward, I'll kill you. There's no harm in that."

"But if you dare to take action, your property will be confiscated and your clan will be exterminated."

These words were quite harsh. Many yamen runners had never encountered such a situation before. They looked at each other and did not dare to step forward.

The housekeeper of Wangyue Tower also frowned and stepped forward: "Everyone, my Wangyue Tower is not a place for you to cause trouble. Since you dare to kill people in my Wangyue Tower, you can forget about getting away with it today. It seems that you are traitors."

Wangyue Tower has a strong background. Qin Haifeng looked at Ning Yi and decided to see what the Sixth Prince’s attitude would be.

After all, the owner of Wangyue Tower is likely to be someone from the palace.

But Ning Yi actually kicked Master Zhao hard in the chest and asked, "What did you just shout?"

Zhao Jianwen screamed in pain. He really didn't expect that this group of people were so bold. Not only were they not afraid of him, but they even threatened to chop off his head if the yamen runners said they would kill him.

Ning Yi finally turned his head and looked at the steward of Wangyue Tower calmly: "Wangyue Tower, right? Isn't it in the palace?"

"Go back and tell your boss that this young master won't dare to say a word even if I burn your Moon Watching Tower to ashes, let alone kill anyone here. Get lost."

Ning Yi's words were quite arrogant and domineering, which shocked many people.

The steward of Wangyue Tower had an even uglier expression on his face. This man was so bold that he actually dared to say such things about their boss.

However, he is able to manage Wangyue Tower, which shows that he has great vision.

Otherwise, because he had already killed someone and the other party did not run away and continued to resist with weapons in public, he would have been captured by the thugs long ago.

Even if he is the son of a powerful official, if he dares to kill someone in their Wangyue Tower, he will not be able to get away with it. Unfortunately, even the arrival of the government is of no use.

Especially this owner, who knew that the owner of their Wangyue Tower was from the palace, but still didn't take it seriously.
