"Hurry, my cousin is guarding the city gate. I can take you and your sister-in-law away!" Chen Tu was anxious from the bottom of his heart and pulled Guan Ning to leave.

Qin Yao clenched her palms and looked at Guan Ning at a loss.

Guan Ning remained calm in the face of danger and instead pulled Chen Tu back: "Chen Tu."

"Brother Guan, what are you waiting for? It's really too late. This time it's not the Ministry of Justice, but the Imperial Guards that have been dispatched!" Chen Tu shouted. The situation was urgent. He already worked in the Censorate, so he must have known the inside information faster than ordinary people.

Guan Ning seemed very calm and would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one escape. Doesn't this obviously mean that the court didn't know who the murderer was and was just arresting people who had a conflict with Zhao Qing?

"I can't leave."

"If I escape, wouldn't that be incriminating myself? It would only solidify my suspicion. Besides, you and Lord Xiao would both be in trouble if you tipped off the gang."

Chen Tu gritted his teeth when he heard this: "That being said, but, but..."

He was about to say something, bang!

There was a loud bang from the front yard gate, and a large number of armored imperial guards rushed in without saying a word, with a murderous aura.

"Where is Guan Ning?!"

A cold and authoritative shout resounded throughout the residence, causing all the servants in the Guan Mansion to panic and be at a loss.

"It's over, they are coming!" Chen Tu's face was pale, as if they were here to catch him.

Guan Ning's eyes were sharp, and he said quickly, "Butler Bai, take Chen Tu out through the back door, and don't let on that he was here."

"Sister Yao, comfort the servants at home and don't cause any trouble. I'll go out and take a look."

"Brother Guan!"

"Master!"

"..."

Guan Ning quickly arrived at the front yard. The imperial guards were lined up in a row. They were definitely not comparable to ordinary officers and soldiers. Their power, status, and abilities were not on the same level.

Those who can enter the Imperial Guard are almost all children of powerful and wealthy people.

"stop!"

"Just look for me, why are you arresting my servants?" Guan Ning said in a low voice.

"Are you Guan Ning?" The commander of the imperial guards narrowed his eyes. He was a thirty-year-old man with a stern face, the kind of soldier who had actually killed people.

"I'm."

"Very good, take him away!" The commander of the imperial guards gave the order without any explanation.

Four imperial guards rushed forward directly, mighty and tough.

The eyes of the people in Yipintang darkened. Of course they were unwilling and were ready to make a move. But before they could do anything, Qin Yao was the first to rush out, extremely excited, like a shrew.

"stop!"

"Why did you arrest my man?!"

"Can the Imperial Guards just ignore the law and arrest people at will?" She stood in front of Guan Ning, shielding herself with both hands, looking extremely fierce, a complete change from her usual royal and intellectual appearance.

Guan Ning was instantly moved. With a wife like this, what else could a husband ask for?

"Humph!"

"The Imperial Guards don't need to explain their duties to anyone. Get out of the way immediately, or you will be arrested too!" the Imperial Guards commander shouted.

"No!" Qin Yao was excited, fearing that Guan Ning would be killed in the cell once he was captured.

The commander of the imperial guards was angry. He rushed forward and raised his hand to slap Qin Yao.

"Try to move her!"

Guan Ning's voice, like that of the god of death, sounded faintly, his eyes fixed straight ahead, carrying an indescribable pressure, as if he had crawled out from a pile of dead bodies.

The entire front yard suddenly felt like it was falling into an icy cave. The people in Yipintang had murderous eyes and were ready to fight their way out of the capital, just waiting for the order.

Even the murderous commander of the Imperial Guards felt inexplicably suffocated for a moment and felt inexplicably fearful!

Guan Ning walked to the front and said, "I am the eldest son of the Guan family. If you take me away, you may not be able to kill me. If you can't kill me, I will kill you. Do you dare to do such a ruthless thing?"

He made a direct threat, concluding that the other party had no evidence and would simply be taken away for questioning.

The commander of the imperial guards' cold eyes instantly filled with rage, and he was about to start a war, but he hesitated. He really didn't dare to do anything too drastic. After all, the Guan Mansion had once been glorious. Moreover, when he looked around, he found that the Guan Mansion was too united, and he might not be able to take his people away.

He hesitated and struggled.

Finally, he put down his hand and said coldly: "Prince Guan, I have heard that you have a good relationship with the Imperial Censorate and your ancestors have produced several powerful figures, but you'd better come with me now. The order comes from the Imperial Study. Do you understand?"
