The empress disliked my achievements for overshadowing her own, so she turned her attention to the N

In the Great Qian Dynasty court, Wu Fengluan, her face ashen, heard Jiang He's voice.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across his face, and his tone calmed down: "Minister Jiang, this matter is due to Jiang Zhe's poor handling of the situation, and has nothing to do with you."

Then, she looked directly at the assembled officials and said coldly, "This matter ends here. It must not be mentioned again!"

hiss~

All the court officials gasped.

They simply couldn't understand that Jiang He was nothing more than a pretty boy.

But this pretty boy actually managed to bewitch their empress completely.

The person personally recommended by Jiang He led an army of 300,000 to the expedition.

In just a few days, they didn't bring back a single person.

Even so, the Empress showed no anger or intention to punish her.

However, they were merely subjects and naturally could not overstep their bounds.

They had no choice but to comply, saying, "We will obey Your Majesty's decree!"

As the court session ended, the officials of the Great Qian Dynasty had no interest in talking to each other and all ran off as fast as they could.

Meanwhile, in the Northern Wei Dynasty, inside the residence of the General Who Guards the South.

Chen Nan looked at Wu Xu and Mo Bai standing on either side and said calmly, "Since you two are determined to follow me, then find a place to stay in the manor first."

"We will do as Your Highness wishes!" Mo Bai clasped his hands in a respectful gesture and replied.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Nan stood up and returned to his room.

Looking at the black official robe that he had already placed on the bed, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

Suddenly, Wang Bo's aged voice came from outside the door: "Your Highness, it's time to go to the government office."

At this moment, Chen Nan realized that he was not only the de facto Prince of Zhennan and Left Prime Minister, but also concurrently the Prefect of Weidu.

When Chen Nan came out of the room, he had already changed into the black official robe.

Accompanied by Mo Bai and Wu Xu, Chen Nan left the government office.

Head towards the center of the northern district of Weidu.

The entire Wei region can be divided into five areas.

The area is divided into three sections: the North District (aristocratic area), the East District (wealthy area), the South District (poor area), and the West District (market).

The remaining area is the imperial city, a place where unauthorized personnel are not allowed to approach.

The Prefect of Weidu was located in the noble district of the northern area, not far from his Zhennan Prince's Mansion.

The three arrived at the government office. Two bailiffs stood on either side of them, and two pillars leaned against them. On the pillars were a couplet: "To deceive others is to deceive Heaven, but do not deceive yourself; to betray the people is to betray the country, how can you bear to betray them?"

Horizontal inscription: Honest and upright!

Chen Nan murmured, "The security in Weidu seems pretty good."

To everyone's surprise, he simply took one step forward.

One of the constables shouted angrily, "Where did this troublemaker come from? Do you think you can just walk into this place?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Nan's expression changed.

Mo Bai and Wu Xu blocked his way from behind.

Just as the two were about to make a move, he stopped them: "Wait, I want to see what kind of place this government office is, why can't someone like me enter?"

Left with no other choice, the two had to return to their original positions.

Seeing this, the yamen runner looked at Chen Nan suspiciously.

He then noticed that Chen Nan was wearing a black robe made of a very expensive material.

However, he wasn't worried at all.

Because, from beginning to end, the Northern Wei Dynasty never had black official robes.

He became even more arrogant: "Don't think that just because you're dressed properly you can come and go as you please in and out of the government office."

"This is the capital city. You arrogant nouveau riche like yourself could be killed by a single brick."

"I'm giving you a friendly piece of advice: get the hell out of here, or I'll make you taste what prison food is like."

Immediately, Chen Nan became interested and took another step forward.

At this point, another constable walked up to Chen Nan.

With his left hand gripping the sword at his waist and his right hand holding the hilt, ready to draw it at any moment, a warning followed: "Get out of here if you don't want to die, or don't blame me for my merciless swords."

As they spoke, the two constables simultaneously drew their swords an inch from their waists.

Chen Nan pointed to the couplet on the pillar with a puzzled look and asked, "Isn't this the government office? Can't I even go in to file a complaint?"

"If you want to file a complaint, then bring out your complaint and I will go in and report to the Prefect."

"You can only go in if he receives you."

"If he doesn't receive us."

With that, the constable sneered twice: "Then go back to where you came from!"

Chen Nan searched everywhere, but there wasn't a single piece of paper or pen, let alone a complaint.

Coincidentally, a young woman walked by not far away, supporting an old man with both hands.

The old man walked unsteadily, as if a gust of wind could blow him apart.

The two gradually arrived at the entrance of the yamen, and with two thuds, they both knelt down in front of the yamen.

He cried out loudly, "Your Honor, you must do justice for us!"

Chen Nan thought that no matter what, the government would listen to people's grievances.

To his disappointment, the two constables had no intention of listening at all.

The constable who had spoken to Chen Nan earlier urged him, "Where did this old codger come from? Get out of here! You're dirtying the government office floor, or I'll make you regret it!"

After saying that, he put down his knife and went straight to the old man.

His eyes were filled with deep contempt as he raised his right foot to kick.

"Wait!"

Chen Nan gave the order.

Wu Xu flashed to the side of the constable and kicked him in the waist before he could react.

In an instant, the constable was sent flying more than two meters away, clutching his lower back and rolling around on the ground.

Upon seeing this, another yamen runner's legs trembled, and he turned and ran into the yamen.

Before long, dozens of yamen runners ran out of the main gate.

The constables, dressed in dark blue robes and holding swords in their right hands, surrounded Chen Nan and his group, along with the old man.

Just after the constables surrounded them, another person appeared at the gate.

The man, dressed in a yellow robe, with his hands supporting his round belly and a mocking smile on his lips, walked through the encirclement of the constables and into the crowd.

He glanced disdainfully at the two kneeling men on the ground, then turned his gaze to Chen Nan.

After observing curiously for a long time, I finally determined that there was no such person among the high-ranking officials of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

He then raised his head and said, "Don't you people know where you are?"

"Guards, take them all to the dungeon and await their fate!"

Under his command, the constables rushed towards Chen Nan and his men without asking any questions.

Chen Nan took a step back, waved his hand, and said indifferently, "Hurry up."

Wu Xu sneered from behind and dashed into the crowd.

It only took a few breaths.

More than a dozen yamen runners almost simultaneously clutched their stomachs and lay on the ground groaning in pain.

Upon seeing this, the official in the yellow robe widened his eyes and took several steps back.

After establishing what he considered a safe distance, he concealed the fear on his face, waving his right hand repeatedly while shouting, "How dare you openly defy the imperial court? You're finished!"

Chen Nan sneered: "Mo Bai!"

Mo Bai leaned closer from behind and whispered, "Your Highness."

Chen Nan took out the deputy commander's token from his pocket and placed it in Mo Bai's hand: "Go and gather a thousand infantrymen from outside the city!"

Mo Bai took the token and ran out.

Seeing someone run away, the official in the yellow robe shouted again, "Stop right there! You think you can get away after hitting someone from the government office?"

However, with a large group of yamen runners lying on the ground, he dared not chase after them and could only try to save face by talking.
