After entering the book, the cold prince begs for favor

As Lu Jiangnian expected, the person who came was Ye Shizhen, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

Ye Shizhen is a notoriously tough guy. His ancestors were founding heroes and his grandmother was Lady Duanhui. When he handles a case, he only looks at the evidence and never gives face to anyone.

The emperor sent him to the Ministry of Justice because he valued his upright character.

Murong Ji was not too stupid. On a day like this, no one would come to arrest someone except Ye Shizhen.

Ye Shizhen was not the kind of person who knew nothing about the ways of the world. The reason why he had to arrest people now was because Murong Ji secretly instigated several families who had lost their children to threaten them with death, forcing the Ministry of Justice to arrest the murderer today.

The Ministry of Justice has accepted this case. There are two families involved in the case. They have some background and the missing children are their dearest to them.

Murong Ji arranged it cleverly, and the strong evidence to incriminate Chen Zhengquan was handed over today.

So, in order to avoid more deaths, Ye Shizhen had no choice but to bite the bullet and arrest people at the fifth prince's wedding banquet.

Chen Zhengquan is not an ordinary person. If the news leaks out after today, and Chen Zhengquan escapes, how will he proceed with this case?

Murong Jun's cheerful face immediately darkened. He questioned Ye Shizhen with great momentum, "Master Ye, are you doing this on purpose?"

"If the former Japanese prince has ever offended you, I apologize here."

"Today is my wedding day. You are being presumptuous by coming here to arrest someone."

Ye Shizhen treated him politely and did not get angry at the Fifth Prince's words. He said calmly, "I was forced to do so. It is my fault for disturbing the Fifth Prince's wedding banquet."

He bowed deeply and saluted: "I dare not delay the auspicious time for the Fifth Prince to worship. I have captured the criminal and will leave immediately."

The Fifth Prince sneered, "How big of a case is this that Lord Ye can't wait even a moment?"

Ye Shizhen answered his question with reason and evidence: "Speaking of the case, the Fifth Prince must have heard of it."

"In recent years, many unsolved cases of missing children have remained unsolved, leaving their parents and families devastated. This is truly abhorrent and inhumane, and it is due to our incompetence."

"During this period, the government office got a clue and tracked it down all the way. Today, we know who the real culprit is."

"All those involved in this case cannot wait a moment longer and must collectively petition the Ministry of Justice. We are willing to risk our lives by striking ourselves against the pillars, just to bring the criminal to justice."

"They are already victims, and we cannot let them lose their lives in vain. Therefore, I have no choice but to appear here."

"The Fifth Prince is very understanding and righteous. He will surely understand the difficulties faced by the common people."

How could Murong Jun possibly understand!

His wedding day was disrupted in this way.

Ye Shizhen is such a stubborn person. If those people want to die, just let them die. It was just a threat, but he actually believed it.

However, Ye Shizhen’s principles were very clear. At this time, could he still stop him?

I don’t know which bastard did such a thing and ruined his wedding banquet.

Afterwards, he couldn't forgive the bastard.

"Lord Ye is dedicated to the public good. Even if it's me, what can I do?"

"Whoever it is, take it away quickly."

He was full of anger but couldn't vent it, so what he said was inevitably sarcastic.

Ye Shizhen bowed deeply again. "The Fifth Prince is indeed of royal blood and has the demeanor of a royal family. He sympathizes with the difficulties faced by our ministers. I am deeply grateful and respect you."

Murong Jun curled his lips and waved his hand: "Stop talking nonsense. If you delay any longer, the auspicious time will pass."

Ye Shizhen bowed, turned around and whispered a few words to the two strong yamen runners beside him, and asked them to arrest the man.

At this moment, Chen Zhengquan didn't know that a disaster was about to happen.

What's the point of a wedding banquet? This kind of thing is the most fun.

Anyone who can come to attend the fifth prince's wedding banquet must not be an unknown person. He doesn't know which unlucky guy left such a big tail when doing things. He is waiting to see the show.

Then, the two yamen runners stood in front of him.

Chen Zhengquan looked left and right, and was still wondering who was standing next to him when he was already being carried and taken to Ye Shizhen.

"What are you doing?"

"You are so blind that you don't even see who I am and just arrest people!"

When the fifth prince saw his cousin being taken into custody, he cursed a thousand times in his heart.

What a mess! Why did it happen to Chen Zhengquan?

"Someone, stop them."

The guards of the prince's mansion immediately jumped in, and seven or eight of them stood in a row, completely blocking the way for the yamen runners.

Ye Shizhen remained respectful and polite, speaking to Murong Jun with neither servility nor arrogance: "Fifth Prince, please be patient. Young Master Chen is implicated in this matter and must appear in court to cooperate. The yamen runners have not arrested the wrong person."

"Today is your wedding day. Fifth Prince, please consider the overall situation and do not delay the auspicious time."

The fifth prince shouted, "You knew it was a great day, and yet you still dared to come here and arrest my cousin!"

"Why should this prince be happy?"

"Ye Shizhen, do you really have to go against this prince?"

Ye Shizhen remained unmoved and replied calmly, "Fifth Prince, your words are too serious. I am only enforcing the law impartially, fulfilling the emperor's trust and the people who have suffered injustice."

"I never target anyone in my actions. Heaven and earth can bear witness to this, as can the sun and the moon. I have no regrets."

"The Emperor has also said that if the Son of Heaven breaks the law, he is guilty just like the common people."

"Since Chen Zhengquan is a major suspect, he must be brought to justice and thoroughly investigated."

"Fifth Prince, please just take care of the wedding ceremony. You don't need to worry about arresting the criminals."

Yuan Wanru listened with great interest. After hearing this, she couldn't help but sigh, "This Lord Ye is quite dignified and speaks clearly and logically. It's obvious that he is a well-educated person."

Fortunately, she came today, otherwise she would have missed a wonderful show.

Lu Jiangnian patted her head and smiled happily, "Lord Ye has a tough temper. Even in front of His Majesty, he dares to argue with reason. The Fifth Prince is no match for him."

"Moreover, ever since I met Lord Ye, I have never seen him lose in verbal combat."

He paused and said casually, "My wife is also a powerful character. If you and Lord Ye quarrel, I wonder who will win and who will lose?"

She didn't dare to compare herself with him. An official like Ye Shizhen, who was knowledgeable and had been handling cases for many years, must be much more capable than her.

"How can I compare to Master Ye?"

Lu Jiangnian didn't care. He remembered something else: "My lady, the Fifth Prince probably doesn't want to entertain guests. I'm afraid we'll have to go back home soon."

Yuan Wanru immediately straightened her back.

Yes, after something like this happened, Murong Jun was ashamed and had no mood to socialize.

The people attending the banquet are not fools. How could they stay here and cause trouble at this time?

"No rush, no rush. Let's wait and see. What if the Fifth Prince still wants everyone to stay and have fun? After all, it's a grand wedding."

Who knew that the fifth prince had already said that he would go to the palace to meet the emperor, so it would be inconvenient to receive guests today and everyone was asked to disperse.

Chen Zhengquan and Murong Jun are of similar age, and their relationship is not comparable to that of ordinary cousins.

How could Murong Jun just watch him being taken away?

Yuan Wanru was stunned. This was the wedding day, and the Fifth Prince was so confused.

Lu Jiangnian had already walked out with her in his arms: "My dear, the feast is over, it's time to go home."
