"hey-hey."

"Master Zhou, please call me?"

Zhou Chaoxian was annoyed: "What are you talking about?"

Guan Ning smirked: "Didn't you just say that if you don't kill me today, you can call me grandpa?"

"A gentleman's word is as good as gold. Now it's time for Lord Zhou to fulfill his promise."

"You!" Zhou Chaoxian was furious, his eyes were wide open with bloodshot, and his face turned the color of liver.

"Sir Zhou, then you can just kill me!" Guan Ning deliberately embarrassed him and stretched out his hands.

"you!"

"How outrageous!" The officials from the Ministry of Justice shouted angrily.

"Hmm?" Guan Ning raised his voice and glanced over with sharp eyes. Although he was young, he already possessed an oppressive power. The identity of the imperial envoy made him directly upgrade to a person that no one dared to provoke.

Imperial envoy, imperial envoy, what is an imperial envoy? It means that except the emperor, no one else can be ordered by him. He is the spokesperson of the king!

Suddenly, the officials of the Ministry of Justice blushed, but had no choice but to bow their heads.

There were so many people at the scene, and Zhou Chaoxian was provoked like that. It would be unreasonable for him to remain silent. At this moment, he stared at Guan Ning, gritting his teeth, and spoke every word.

"Guan Ning, don't go too far!"

"Be careful of those who are arrogant, or they will be punished by heaven!"

Upon hearing this, Guan Ning looked directly at Yuwen Hongdu: "Well, Lord Yuwen, someone here wants to kill me, what do you think?"

Yuwen Hongdu's mouth twitched fiercely. Again? Coming to trick me again!

But he had to make a statement: "Assassinating the imperial envoy will result in the death of all nine generations of the clan. The imperial guards will protect you."

Zhou Chaoxian also realized that he was in trouble this time. His flushed face showed a cruel look, and the muscles at the corners of his eyes twitched.

"Guan Ning, you're so cruel!"

"You have to remember this account!"

With that, he turned away in embarrassment. He could only accept the defeat. If he touched Guan Ning, he would probably not want to live anymore. His Majesty's imperial edict had already been issued.

"Stop!" Guan Ning suddenly shouted.

The sound startled everyone present.

Zhou Chaoxian turned back, his eyes gloomy to the extreme: "What else do you want to do?"

Guan Ning grinned harmlessly, "Hey, Lord Zhou, His Majesty sent me to investigate the Chen Tu case, and I'm here for official business."

"Bring him out. I want to interrogate Chen Tu."

Zhou Chaoxian narrowed his eyes and said, "I have already examined it and the evidence is conclusive. I don't think there is any need for Master Guan to do this!"

"Your Majesty wants you to investigate the case, not to commit corruption for personal gain."

"Favoritism and fraud?" Guan Ning stepped forward and raised his voice, "Master Zhou, we must have evidence when we speak."

"Now, do you think I'm discussing this with you?" His eyes suddenly became like the abyss, staring at Zhou Chaoxian.

Zhou Chaoxian inexplicably felt a chill, but this was the Ministry of Justice, with so many eyes watching, there was no way he could compromise!

He narrowed his eyes and said, "What if I don't hand it in?"

Suddenly, the scene became tense.

Although Yuwen Hongdu had always been at odds with Guan Ning, he was very cooperative and stood at the front, confronting the officials of the Ministry of Justice with the palace guards.

Guan Ning smiled, and there was something devilish in his smile.

"You're not going to hand it in, are you?"

"Then I will have no choice but to go and grab it myself. If a conflict arises, I will not be held responsible. If it gets to His Majesty, it will also be your responsibility."

Zhou Chaoxian's expression changed obviously.

His eyes flashed with murderous intent and unwillingness, and he finally compromised.

He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Your Majesty, I will bring Chen Tu to trial!"

"Yes!"

The people from the Ministry of Justice looked unhappy, but they had no choice but to do as they were told.

Although Zhou Chaoxian said that he would obey the emperor's order and was obviously dissatisfied with this airborne imperial envoy, Guan Ning didn't care as long as he could get the person out first.

"Sir Zhou, you are right. He who knows the current affairs is a hero." Guan Ning sneered.

Zhou Chaoxian's face turned pale: "Humph!"

"Let me see what you're up to!"

"The evidence is irrefutable. Don't even think about overturning the verdict. Chen Tu is dead! I'll keep an eye on you. If you dare to act recklessly, I'll immediately report you to His Majesty!"

"Without the identity given by His Majesty, I can crush you to death like crushing an ant!" He said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, and every word he said was spoken with gritted teeth.

A fleeting hint of murderous intent flashed across Guan Ning's eyes!

This basically implies that Chen Tu was the one who handled this case, and there is something wrong with it! And it is directed at him.

He said nothing coldly, but secretly recorded Zhou Chaoxian in his account book, then pushed Zhou Chaoxian's shoulders away and walked into the lobby of the Ministry of Justice.

"..."

About an hour later, Chen Tu finally arrived.

But he didn't come walking, but was dragged here. His body was torn and bloody, as if he had been whipped many times by a horsewhip. New and old wounds were mixed together, and he looked extremely miserable.

His hair was disheveled, he could no longer walk, and was dying.

Seeing this scene, Guan Ning stood up suddenly.

"Chen Tu!" He rushed down.

Zhou Chaoxian, who was sitting in the other direction, showed a smug smile on his square face.

"Guan, Brother Guan..." Chen Tu shouted out the two words intermittently and with difficulty, coughing up blood.

Guan Ning was heartbroken and angry, and he supported Chen Tu with all his strength.

"I'm late, sorry." He said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
