The prince is very cruel

A sharp sweep, as fast as lightning, made a sound of breaking through the air and hit Lu Dan's chin.

boom!

Lu Dan flew out and slid on the ground like a dead pig. He fainted on the spot without any reaction.

The palace guards rushed forward and quickly tied the man up.

"Take him back to the Ministry of Justice!"

"Yuwen Hongdu, you should know the importance of this person. Zhou Chaoxian's people must not get close to him!"

Yuwen Hongdu's face was solemn. He knew the seriousness of the situation. It was obvious that someone was behind it. "Don't worry, I will watch over it myself."

After saying this, he personally escorted the man away.

Then Guan Ning looked at Li Yunzong standing beside him.

"Master Li, how is it?"

"You lost the bet."

Li Yunzong's expression was grim and kept changing. Finally, he gritted his teeth and bowed: "Sir, I accept the loss of the bet!"

"Such a scum has emerged from the clan affairs office. Regardless of the outcome, I am willing to fully assist in the investigation."

"Please... show mercy!" He surrendered. Although he was the Junior Secretary of the Ministry of Clan Affairs and a member of the royal family, he bowed his proud head to Guan Ning at this moment.

Guan Ning was not troubled by a bet.

"Li Shaoqing, you are too kind."

"He's just Lu Dan. He doesn't represent the entire clan office. I won't exaggerate this matter. I believe His Majesty won't punish you."

"It's late. I'm going back first." Guan Ning stretched. Although he couldn't prove Chen Tu's innocence yet, it was already very good to have such a big gain on the first day.

He was confident that he could thwart the conspiracy of the third prince's followers.

Hearing this, Li Yunzong opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopping himself, with gratitude in his eyes.

This matter is neither big nor small, but as an imperial envoy, if they really want to use this matter to deal with him, he cannot escape the responsibility. After all, Guan Ning has clearly stated that someone was implicated in the corruption case.

"..."

The next day.

Early in the morning the sky was overcast and it started to drizzle, which suddenly cooled the weather in late October.

Guan Ning woke up and rubbed his head.

"When did you come back last night?"

A slender hand with ice-skin skin handed over a hot towel.

Guan Ning smiled: "Xinyue, you need to be more vigilant. You didn't even know I was back."

Lou Xinyue rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "I just know it's you."

"Really?" Guan Ning didn't quite believe it. The current Lou Xinyue was far from the same as before. She was more like a woman with emotions rather than an icy beauty killer.

He rubbed his face and said, "I have to go out soon."

"It's raining lightly in the capital today, so it's not suitable to travel."

"Are you here for Chen Tu's matter?" Lou Xinyue took the towel and said hello. The four girls, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, outside the door brought in breakfast.

That kind of treatment is something that men in later generations dream of but cannot obtain.

"Correct."

"We have a very important clue..." Guan Ning briefly recounted what happened yesterday.

Lou Xinyue raised her eyebrows slightly: "Then as long as we can pry open this person's mouth, won't Chen Tu's injustice be vindicated?"

"That's right." Guan Ning nodded.

"That's a good thing."

"Shall I go with you?" Lou Xinyue said.

Guan Ning shook his head: "It's not appropriate. I am the imperial envoy now. It's not appropriate for me to take you, a woman, with me."

Lou Xinyue's stunningly beautiful face showed disdain and she snorted, "Oh, our family has an imperial envoy, how impressive."

"I'm already a woman, and people who don't know me would think I'm some powerful official."

"Hahaha!" Guan Ning burst into laughter. The yin and yang of Lou Xinyue had a unique flavor.

"I'm just teasing you."

"Who cares?"

Snapped!

Lou Xinyue opened his hand and said unhappily, "Eat by yourself and leave quickly after you finish eating."

"I can't sleep well when you come to my room."

Guan Ning couldn't help laughing. This woman really held a grudge. He didn't say anything back, but sat down and ate his breakfast obediently.

After eating, he went to see the three pregnant women, which delayed him for quite some time before he went out to the Ministry of Justice.

Along the way, it was cloudy and rainy, and people were in a hurry.

Water drops kept dripping from the eaves, which was indescribably beautiful in its ancient style. It was a pity that the peace and tranquility here would not last long.

As soon as he arrived at the Ministry of Justice, Guan Ning heard a fierce quarrel and even saw two gangs confronting each other in the drizzle, with swords drawn.

On one side were the imperial guards of Yuwen Hongdu, and on the other side were the officers and soldiers of the Ministry of Justice, among whom was Zhou Chaoxian, the head of the Ministry of Justice.

"Yuwen Hongdu, what do you want to do?"

"In terms of official position and responsibilities, you have nothing to do with me. I want to go in and interrogate the prisoner. Do you dare to stop me?" Zhou Chaoxian shouted in an imposing manner.

Yuwen Hongdu's face was gloomy. "Master Zhou, I'm sorry, but the Imperial Envoy said that no one is allowed to interrogate the people inside unless he comes."

Zhou Chaoxian was so furious that he didn't even notice someone coming from behind.

"fart!"

"Who the hell is Guan Ning? Even if he comes, I'm not afraid of him. If you have the guts, let him come. I'm going in now!"

As he said this, he wanted to rush through the checkpoint.

Just when Yuwen Hong didn't know what to do, Guan Ning's voice rang out in time.

"Who do you think I am? And who are you?"

Swish swish!

Everyone at the scene focused their attention on him, feeling a little guilty.

The officers and soldiers made way for him, and Guan Ning came in front of Zhou Chaoxian with a smile on his face.

Zhou Chaoxian clenched his fists, his teeth itching with hatred. There was still a bandage on his forehead, and even his official hat couldn't cover it. It was very funny.

Guan Ning mocked, "Master Zhou has a very sharp nose. He just arrested someone last night and came here so early this morning. What's going on? Are you afraid of what you'll find out during the interrogation?"

"You!" Zhou Chaoxian glared angrily, but then he suppressed it and pretended to be righteous.

"Your Majesty asked me to work together on the case, so naturally I also have the right to interrogate. Why don't you let me in?"

"Are you trying to hide something, or are you forcing a confession under duress?"

Guan Ning sneered, this guy is really shameless.

"We're working on the same case, but I'm the one who captured this person. If Lord Zhou also wants to interrogate him, then you'll have to capture him yourself."

"If not, go to His Majesty and sue me."

As he said that, he pushed Zhou Chaoxian aside and walked straight in.

"you!"

"Stop right there!" Zhou Chaoxian shouted, furious. This was his territory, but he was blocked outside.

Guan Ning saw that the other party was not going to stop, so he didn't give in and spoke directly.

"Yuwen Hongdu, if they force their way in, just take action. If His Majesty asks, I will take the responsibility!"

"Yes!" Yuwen Hongdu nodded, his sharp eyes showing some dissatisfaction. Zhou Chaoxian had used his status to pressure him early in the morning.

"you!"

"You are presumptuous!"

"Stop!" Zhou Chaoxian wanted to grab Guan Ning.

boom!

The palace guards tried to stop him, and the two steel swords crossed.

"You!" Zhou Chaoxian was furious, gritting his teeth and saying, "Yuwen Hongdu!"

"Sir Zhou, I'm just doing my job." Yuwen Hongdu said lightly.

Zhou Chaoxian was furious, but he didn't dare let anyone take action first. He could only watch Guan Ning enter the warehouse, feeling anxious.

How could Guan Ning succeed again!

What should we do?
