At the tender age of eight, he was hastily dragged out and made emperor!

Liu Chen's concerns were not unfounded.

"Shasha~"

Footsteps broke the silence. Pang Hu, dressed in a flying fish robe and carrying an embroidered spring knife, strode forward with a serious expression. The officers and soldiers he encountered along the way saluted and greeted him, but Pang Hu ignored them and walked quickly toward the commander's office. This made many people suspicious and they had a premonition that something might have happened.

Although Pang Hu held the high rank of Commander-in-Chief, he was a very easy-going person and treated his subordinates exceptionally well. Therefore, Pang Hu's unusual behavior today made it hard not to speculate about what was going on.

"came back?"

Commander's Office.

Holding several case files, Zang Hao, with his back to Pang Hu as he entered the hall, asked Pang Hu as if he had eyes in the back of his head, "Have you found anything about the people I asked you to investigate?"

“These past few days, I have been thinking about this matter. It seems that there is a pair of hands pushing the Imperial Guards to investigate those people from the academy, without our knowledge.”

"Commander, something has happened."

Pang Hu frowned deeply.

"Ok?"

Zang Hao frowned and turned around.

It was only at this moment that Zang Hao realized something was wrong.

"What happened?"

Meeting Pang Hu's gaze, Zang Hao asked in a deep voice, "Is it related to the academy we investigated?"

During this period, as an assistant in the investigation of the imperial examination leak, the Embroidered Uniform Guard has been secretly investigating some matters, which is similar to what the Military Affairs Department and the Patrol Battalion have been doing, but the responsibilities they are responsible for are different.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard investigates forces or groups hidden in the shadows.

There are no strange things in this world, only people who pretend to be mysterious. Just like in this case of the Kogon leak, the people to be arrested are not those who were arrested before, but those who are hiding in the shadows and stirring things up.

"It's partly related."

Pang Hu took out several documents from his pocket and handed them to Zang Hao. “In the past two days, a public opinion has emerged in various neighborhoods inside and outside Yudu. At first, I did not pay attention to it, but it was not until some of the people I was watching made some remarks about a warning from heaven that I realized something was wrong.”

A warning from the sky?!

Zang Hao was startled. After glancing at Pang Hu, he snatched the document Pang Hu handed him. But after reading it, Zang Hao's eyes widened slightly.

"How dare they?!"

Anger welled up in Zang Hao's heart. Holding up the document, he said with barely concealed rage, "When disaster strikes in the region, how dare some people try to implicate His Majesty?! Some people are courting death!!"

"Commander, what's the next step?"

Pang Hu clenched his fists tightly and said in a low voice, "The current public opinion is spreading rapidly throughout the city and its surrounding areas, exceeding my expectations."

"When things go wrong, there must be a monster."

"Should we send officers to arrest these people who are spreading rumors? If this trend is not contained, it will surely pose a threat to His Majesty."

What a joke.

If a local disaster is linked to a warning from the sky, and if it is not dealt with promptly, then doubts and criticisms will spread rapidly.

If the turmoil is not quelled in time by then, it's possible that an imperial edict of self-reproach will be issued.

After all, the surging public sentiment needs to be quelled.

If such a situation were to occur, it would be a huge blow to the emperor's dignity.

"The Embroidered Uniform Guard cannot send anyone."

Zang Hao pondered for a long time before speaking.

"What should I do?"

Pang Hu frowned and said, "Are we just going to stand by and watch all this happen?"

"Of course not."

Zang Hao said coldly, "This trend must be suppressed, otherwise it will be exploited by those with ulterior motives."

"The meaning of 'commander'."

Pang Hu seemed to have guessed something.

"Go to the Military Commandery now."

Zang Hao gestured and said, "Tell the Prince Consort to order the arrest of those who maliciously spread rumors. Also, call Yan Zheng and the others, and have them go to the Yudu Magistrate's Office and the Northern Army Office to do similar things. After you have done these things, each of you should lead your men and keep watch in secret."

"Especially those who are secretly watching our Embroidered Uniform Guard. Once they discover any trace, remember, don't do it yourself. Call the Military Affairs Department to assist you, and arrest them under the pretext of the Imperial Examination Leak Case."

"Yes."

Pang Hu immediately agreed.

“I will go to the palace immediately.”

Zang Hao reached out and said, "Do your job well. We can't afford any mistakes at this time."

"Yes."

Pang Hu responded, watching Zang Hao's departing figure, a murderous intent flashing deep in his eyes. Anyone who dares to plot such a thing truly doesn't know the meaning of death!

……

Compared to the tense atmosphere in some places, the Daxing Hall appeared very calm at that time.

"You handled it very well."

Chu Lingyu glanced at the document he was holding, then looked at Zang Hao and said calmly, "Some things have happened in the court. It hasn't been long, yet it has already stirred up such public opinion in Yudu. It's obvious that they want to drag me down with them."

"That's really something. I ignored them, but they started plotting against me instead."

"But if that's the case, it's not hard to see that some people are getting anxious and don't want the court to find anything in the imperial examination leak case, because if they do, they might give themselves away."

"That's what I think too."

Zang Hao immediately bowed and said, "That's right. That's why I overstepped my bounds and, as a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, made contact with the Northern Army. I beg Your Majesty to punish me."

"In an emergency, we should act expediently."

Chu Ling closed the document and looked at Zang Hao, saying, "This isn't your fault. When did you realize that someone was secretly watching the Embroidered Uniform Guard?"

"Just as Pang Hu handed these documents to me."

Zang Hao frowned and said, "I was puzzled from the beginning. Why did the Embroidered Uniform Guard always encounter some inexplicable resistance when doing certain things, especially when investigating these academies? This feeling became more and more obvious."

"Some people always like to play tricks and deceive others."

Chu Ling said with a half-smile, "They think that by doing this, they can control everything and thus demonstrate their superior status. But the more they do this, the more likely they are to slip up."

"With the imperial edict in hand, do everything you've been thinking. I want to see what kind of trouble they can stir up. It seems that the fate of the Great Yu is not something they can control."

"I obey the decree!!"

Zang Hao immediately knelt down and bowed.

You have really grown up.

They can now stand on their own.

Looking at Zang Hao kneeling on the ground, Chu Ling smiled with satisfaction. He was not afraid that Zang Hao knew a lot, but he was afraid that Zang Hao knew little. After all, as the country's sharpest weapon in the open, the responsibilities and burdens borne by the Embroidered Uniform Guard exceeded the imagination of many people.

Whether it's the major cases handled previously or the current case of leaking exam questions, what the Embroidered Uniform Guard needs to do is to peel back the layers and expose the groups hiding in the shadows.

Only by rooting out and eliminating those lawless bastards one by one can the social order of the Great Yu be restored, and only then can the Great Yu return to normal.
