This made Li Shimin anxious, and he wanted to trade one for one with me.

The Imperial City, the Ministry of Personnel.

Inside the ministry hall, Changsun Wuji, dressed in official robes, held a teacup in his hand and listened attentively to the lamentations of the middle-aged and elderly people sitting beside him.

"As instructed by Minister Changsun, I tried to stall Cheng Jun, but the boy was too clever and discovered the clues. He even used the pretext of a wrongful conviction to knock off my official hat. I was so angry that I dragged him to see His Majesty!"

"I thought he was just making things up, but I didn't expect him to actually uncover a wrongful case. As a result, he impeached me before His Majesty, and His Majesty dismissed me from my position as Assistant Minister of Justice and wanted to transfer me out of the capital to take up a post in the local area."

Wang Liang was on the verge of tears, and after bowing repeatedly, he said, "Minister Changsun, you have to help me!"

Changsun Wuji put down his teacup and comforted him, "You've been working for me, how could I stand by and watch you die? Go to your post in the provinces with peace of mind, and I'll be able to transfer you back to the capital soon."

Wang Liang's expression brightened. "With Minister Changsun's words, I can rest assured."

Changsun Wuji said, "I thought the official Your Majesty chose was just good at talking, but I didn't expect him to actually have some ability."

Wang Liang angrily cursed, "This boy is indeed capable, but he is also hateful! Minister Changsun, you must not let this boy go. This boy is vindictive and petty. Yesterday he was able to impeach the Empress because his second brother was beaten, and today he is able to impeach you in front of His Majesty because you asked me to delay him!"

"Can I give him the opportunity to impeach me?"

Changsun Wuji mocked, "The power of the censors lies in their 'speech.' Cheng Jun is eloquent and persuasive, but if you don't let him speak, he will be like an ant. How much pain can an ant bite? But if a person pinches an ant, it can easily make it suffer unbearable pain."

Wang Liang's eyes lit up and he asked, "Does Minister Changsun have a way to deal with him?"

"Already doing it."

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Ever since he impeached the Empress yesterday, I have already begun to weave my net."

"Now, this child is caught in the net and can't escape."

Before the words were even finished, a young clerk from the Ministry of Personnel rushed in in a panic, shouting, "Minister Changsun, something has changed!"

"..."

Changsun Wuji stared at the other party, feeling a burning pain on his face. He said angrily, "With Yuchi Jingde's whetstone as a token, Yuchi Baolin would certainly not dare to stop you from arresting people. How could this have changed?"

"The ones blocking us now are not Yuchi Baolin, but Cheng Chumo, the eldest son of the Cheng family, and Cheng Chuliang, the second son of the Cheng family!"

Changsun Wuji immediately guessed that this was Cheng Jun's arrangement and raised an eyebrow.

Although Wang Liang didn't know what had happened, he noticed that the Cheng brothers were present because of Cheng Jun. Judging from Changsun Wuji's expression, he knew that Cheng Jun's arrangement had taken him by surprise. He clicked his tongue and said, "This kid is bold and meticulous, and he is indeed not easy to deal with!"

Changsun Wuji glanced at him and snorted coldly, "What's so difficult about dealing with a mere youth? Don't try to boost their morale!"

After speaking, he looked at the young man, put on a stern face, and asked, "The Cheng brothers have never served as officials in the court; they are still commoners. How dare they obstruct us? What is Yang Zuan, the magistrate of Chang'an, good for?"

"Lin Lingshi said that Magistrate Yang is intentionally favoring the Cheng family!"

"Bastard thing!"

Changsun Wuji's face darkened. He really hadn't expected that Yang Zuan would dare to disobey his orders. He couldn't help but curse.

Immediately, he unfolded a brand-new official document, picked up a rabbit-hair brush, quickly wrote it down, and handed it to the young clerk in charge of collecting money in the Ministry of Personnel, saying:

"Take this official document to Hu Yan, the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, and ask him to bring people over."

"promise!"

The young clerk in charge of collecting money from the Ministry of Personnel quickly responded, respectfully accepted the official document, and turned to leave.

Wang Liang watched from the side, clicking his tongue in amazement. The Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review was a fourth-rank official, the second-in-command of the Court of Judicial Review. This trip would definitely lead to the arrest of that person!

Wang Liang suddenly had an idea and stood up, saying, "Minister Changsun, this matter is accomplished. I would like to go and see Cheng Jun make a fool of himself."

Changsun Wuji waved his hand and said, "Go to Da'anfang, Du Jingjian's home."

"I'll take my leave!"

The middle-aged and elderly people bowed and turned to leave. Because of their age, they could not ride horses, so they took a carriage to Da'anfang.

From a distance, he saw a group of people confronting each other in front of the Du family's house.

Wang Liang was startled by what he saw. Such a big show of force?

How could Cheng Jun handle such a situation? Most people would have gotten diarrhea by now...

At this moment, he was some distance from the Du family's gate. Curious, he walked over to get a better look.

Just then, a shout rang out from behind, "A bunch of lawless bastards!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Liang turned around and saw a woman dressed in Hu clothing riding a white horse, her face icy cold as she approached.

The next second, he noticed the woman glaring at him.

"Are you in cahoots with those money-grabbing clerks?"

Wang Liang quickly replied, "No, it wasn't me!"

"Look at your gloating face, you still dare to argue with me?"

"This is the princess... So this is the princess..." Before Wang Liang could react, he suddenly saw a riding whip whistling towards him.

Snapped! !

"Ah..." Wang Liang couldn't dodge in time and was hit hard by the whip, tears streaming down his face from the pain.

The woman, still enraged, remained seated on the horse, one hand gripping the reins to control the angle, the other wielding a whip to continue lashing the middle-aged and elderly man, cursing:

"You insolent fool! You're so old, yet you have no respect for your age! Today, I, on behalf of His Majesty, will teach you a lesson!"

Wang Liang was whipped so badly that he curled up on the ground and wailed, "Stop hitting me! This really has nothing to do with me!"

"Fuck your mother's fart!"

The woman cursed again, "Besides that magistrate of Chang'an, you're the only official here. You dare say it has nothing to do with you? If it has nothing to do with you, what are you doing here?"
