The prince is very cruel

"How's the wind outside?"

Yu Dilong said seriously: "My Lord, it's very tight."

"Early this morning, many important figures in the imperial court were alarmed and rushed to the suburbs with no less than two thousand people. There was also an imperial decree demanding a thorough investigation of the matter."

Guan Ning was not surprised. After all, the position of Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi was too important, and the court had to give Zhao Tai an explanation no matter what it said.

"Don't let anyone else in the mansion know about this except you."

"The Guan family's business must continue. Don't close it down deliberately. No one in Yipintang is allowed to go out." He gave serious instructions. The outside world only knew that the Guan family was still running some businesses, and as for Yipintang, many people had never heard of it.

Even if they had heard of it, they would not have known that Guan Ning was the mastermind behind the scenes.

"Yes!"

The two men bowed, their gesture loud and powerful.

"And..." Guan Ning was about to say something, but suddenly

"Report!!"

"Prince, Prince, something bad has happened. There are many soldiers and officers outside!" Butler Bai's anxious voice was heard outside the house.

Suddenly, the expressions of several people in the room changed.

"Officers and soldiers?"

Yu Dilong was shocked. It was impossible. There were no clues left.

"Prince, this..."

"Shh, calm down and don't lose your composure."

Guan Ning was calm and composed, with a gleam in his eyes. Now that Zhao Huan was dead, anyone who had a grudge against the Zhao family would naturally be suspected. He had been mentally prepared for this.

"Remember, we know nothing."

"Yes!"

"Sister Yao, help me change my clothes."

Qin Yao's classical and mature face was filled with worry, as if she had guessed something. She hummed and changed his clothes.

After just a short while, Guan Ning, supported by Qin Yao, walked out of the backyard and came to the open space in the front yard of the Guan family.

At least a hundred officers and soldiers had already rushed in, fully armed and aggressive, directly restricting the travel of all members of the Guan family.

Standing in the front was a middle-aged man in a blue official robe, with a cold look in his eyes, and he looked very unfriendly.

"who are you?"

"Why did you break into my Guan family? Cough cough cough!" Guan Ning coughed violently, his face turned pale, and he needed someone to support him even when walking.

The middle-aged man glanced at her with a cold look in his eyes: "Guan Ning, right?"

"It's me, who are you?" Guan Ning looked sickly, and there was no sign of falsehood at all.

The middle-aged man stepped forward and said, "I am the Minister of Justice, Zhao Yi!"

"I'm asking you, where were you last night?" He shouted in a low voice, full of oppression.

Qin Yao was a little nervous. Guan Ning held her hand tightly without revealing anything, but then a puzzled look appeared on his face. "I was at home last night. Why did you rush me like that?"

"Humph!"

"Stop pretending. I have reliable information that you left the city last night!" Zhao Yi yelled and suddenly grabbed Guan Ning's clothes.

Miso miso miso!

At the same time, officers and soldiers drew their hundreds of steel swords and exerted pressure.

Suddenly, the faces of the people from Yipintang who were hiding in the crowd suddenly changed, and they couldn't help but want to take action.

Guan Ning immediately yelled, "Stop!"

"What are you going to do?"

The sound exploded, seemingly directed at the officers and soldiers on the opposite side, but in fact it was directed at their own people.

Everyone in Yipintang froze for a moment, and they suppressed their emotions without revealing anything.

Zhao Yi failed to notice and only became more aggressive: "Hmph, what do I want to do? Boy, you and the Second Young Master had a falling out a while ago, and you've been holding a grudge and waiting for an opportunity to take revenge. I've already found out that you went out to the Ma Mu Post Station last night. There are witnesses and evidence. How dare you say you didn't kill that person?!"

He yelled out and gripped even tighter.

Guan Ning pretended to be frightened: "What, who died?"

"Zhao Qing is dead?"

Zhao Yi sneered, "Don't play dumb with me. Did you cause the death of Prince Zhao Huan?"

Guan Ning was bewildered: "Zhao Huan?"

"Sir, I don't know Zhao Huan. Even if Zhao Qing and I had a conflict, I would take revenge on Zhao Qing. Why would I take revenge on Zhao Huan?"

Zhao Yi was speechless for a moment. Seeing Guan Ning denying the truth, he was unwilling to give in and threatened fiercely: "I already have evidence. Will you confess or not? If you don't, be careful that the three clans will be implicated!"

His sinister eyes were full of intimidation.

Most people would have been frightened and at a loss at this moment, after all, he was such a high-ranking official as the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, but Guan Ning was not moved at all.
