Boldly and carefully, he asked, "What do I confess?"

"Where are the witnesses and evidence you mentioned? This matter has nothing to do with me."

"Lord Zhao, are you trying to bully my Guan family because they have no one? After all, my Guan family was once a Duke conferred by His Majesty, and I, Guan Ning, also have the title of Crown Prince. Even if you need to deal with it, it's not your turn, right?"

"That's right!"

"Can people from the Ministry of Justice do whatever they want? If you have the guts, produce the evidence!" The people from the Guan family echoed and argued.

Zhao Yi's face flushed red. Everything was just his intimidation. Where could he find a witness?

Gradually, he became a little angry and said, "You little bastard, how dare you talk back!"

He raised his hand, his face fierce, and slapped him directly.

"Prince!" There were exclamations everywhere, and the people in Yipintang didn't know whether they should take action.

Guan Ning's eyes turned cold. He was so scared that he had to attack? He reacted very quickly, pretending to dodge, but in fact he secretly bumped Zhao Yi's supporting leg with his waist.

boom!

Zhao Yi instantly fell on his back, looking utterly miserable, and screamed, "Ah!"

"Sir!" The officers and soldiers rushed up, not seeing what happened at all. They just thought that Zhao Yi did not stand firmly.

"Hahaha!" Seeing Zhao Yi's embarrassed look, Sheng Qi and others burst into laughter.

Zhao Yiqi, who was helped up, turned green with anger and roared hysterically: "You bastards, you are rebelling against the heavens! I will make you laugh!"

"What are you still standing there for? Arrest him, throw him in jail, and torture him severely!!"

"Yes!" The officers and soldiers clasped their fists and then rushed forward.

Suddenly, screams broke out in the Guan Mansion, and everyone in Yipintang walked to the front to stop the other party.

"Prince, what should we do?"

Guan Ning's eyes darkened. Is this clearly an attempt to act tough?

Once they enter the prison, the entire mansion will probably be retaliated against. Even if there is no evidence, the Guan family will probably be skinned alive, just like last time.

Seeing his servants being dragged by the officers and soldiers, he instantly became angry. Since Zhao Yi wanted to use force, he was not afraid of making a bigger fuss!

"stop!!"

Just when Guan Ning was about to make a big deal out of it, a loud shout came from outside the mansion, causing him to loosen his clenched hands.

"Who?" Everyone in the front yard looked outside at the same time, and the chaotic situation was slightly curbed.

"Lord Zhao, what are you doing?!" This was an extremely calm and majestic voice.

The man who came had white hair and was about sixty years old. Time had left many traces on his face, but he did not look like an old fox at all. Instead, his old face had a sense of justice and majesty.

He was followed by only one follower, but faced with such a situation, he walked very naturally and fearlessly, and looked at Zhao Yi and other officers and soldiers with unfriendly eyes.

"Xiao Changhe!" Zhao Yi frowned. Why was he here?

"How does this bother you? What are you doing here?"

"If I hadn't come here, I wouldn't have known how powerful you, Lord Zhao, are. Without an imperial edict or any evidence, you dare to come to the prince's mansion to arrest people at will and torture them into confessing!" Xiao Changhe shouted, looking like he was upholding justice.

Everyone in the Guan family was at a loss.

Especially Guan Ning, who is this? I have never seen him before, why did he suddenly come to help me?

"fart!"

"Xiao Changhe, stop putting the blame on me, or I'll report you to the Emperor!"

"Prince Huan of Zhao was assassinated last night. Your Majesty was furious and issued an imperial decree to investigate the case thoroughly and catch the murderer. How can you say there is no imperial decree?" Zhao Yi cursed, obviously a little afraid.

Xiao Changhe sneered, walked up to Zhao Yi, and said calmly, "Your Majesty did issue an imperial decree, but it was an order to pursue the murderer, not to arrest innocent people!"

"Why, the Ministry of Justice belongs to the Zhao family alone?"

"You!" Zhao Yi was furious and gritted his teeth, but he didn't dare to do anything to Xiao Changhe.

After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Old man, I'm not in the mood to argue with you right now. This guy is the most suspicious criminal. I want to take him away!"

"You'd better get out of the way!"

"Prince Zhao Huan is dead!" He emphasized who Zhao Huan was.

Xiao Changhe remained unmoved: "No matter who died, the law must be followed. If you want to arrest someone, you can, but bring evidence."
