I was imprisoned by the Empress at the beginning, and I was secretly invincible

Time passed day by day.

Jiang Hao's life in the prison was as peaceful as ever.

But the outside world was changing rapidly.

First, the Demon God Empire couldn't help but take action first.

They quickly dispatched troops and deployed millions of soldiers on the border of Da Zhou.

Facing the restless Demon God Empire, Da Zhou naturally did not dare to take it lightly.

They also immediately gathered heavy troops on the border to confront it.

On the other side, the Golden Horde Khan seemed to have reached some kind of agreement with the Seven Kings of the North.

Then the Golden Horde Khan quickly sent a group of strong men led by King Samofa to join the Seven Kings camp.

The Seven Kings of the North, who were originally defeated by the imperial army, quickly changed their previous decline after receiving the help of these strong men. They not only regained their foothold, but also began to counterattack the imperial army.

There was no movement from other forces on the continent for the time being, but just the Demon God Empire and the Golden Horde were enough to give Da Zhou a hard time.

Under such influence, the morale that had been finally boosted by the empress's breakthrough into the heavenly realm immediately fell back to the bottom.

The Great Zhou Dynasty, whose situation had just improved slightly, once again stood on the edge of the abyss, and it seemed that if it took one more step forward, it would fall into the abyss completely.

Faced with such a severe situation, whether it was the empress or the court, everyone was spinning like a top, not daring to relax a bit.

Not to mention other places, even the atmosphere in the imperial capital became a lot more solemn, and the air seemed to be filled with the smell of gunpowder, as if the war was not far away.

"With the war at hand, how come the chief constable has time to come to me today?"

In the Jinyiwei Yamen, looking at the sudden visit of the chief constable Wu Anbang of the Shenbu Division, the commander of the Jinyiwei, Cao Shaobing, asked in surprise.

As the number one lackey of the empress, Cao Shaobing has naturally been doing well since the empress came to power.

However, he also knew that few of his colleagues looked up to him, so few people were close to him.

One of them was Wu Anbang, the chief constable, who had a straight character and relied on his ability to get to the top.

But today, Wu Anbang took the initiative to visit Cao Shaobing, which was a bit beyond Cao Shaobing's expectations.

"I don't visit you for no reason. Today, I specifically visited Commander Cao because of the case of the extermination of the family in the Imperial Observatory. Your Majesty has given this case to Commander Cao, and I just found some key clues, so I came to discuss it with Commander Cao!"

Seeing Wu Anbang's polite face, Cao Shaobing was not only not happy, but frowned slightly, and secretly alerted in his heart.

If you are too attentive for no reason, you are either a traitor or a thief!

His ability may be average, but he has a lot of scheming, otherwise how could he sit in the position of the commander of the Jinyiwei, and still sit there steadily until today.

"Your Majesty has already given instructions on this case. Right now we are facing a powerful enemy and it is time to use people. Don't invest too much energy."

He looked up at Wu Anbang and reminded him lightly,

"I believe the chief constable also knows the identity of the supervisor. There are also those people from the Imperial Observatory. Although they are in the name of the Imperial Observatory, to be frank, it has long been a base of the demon race."

"Although your Majesty doesn't say it, he actually can't thank the murderer in his heart. After all, the other party has helped the court to clean up the door. It's just that due to face, some things are not easy to say."

"Even if you find the murderer, what can you do? Do you think your Majesty will punish him? The biggest possibility is that he will be treated lightly and nothing will be done in the end. So, you should save your energy, chief constable."

Seeing Cao Shaobing's perfunctory attitude, Wu Anbang's expression suddenly changed.

He has always been a man who can't tolerate any sand in his eyes. One is one, and two is two.

Perhaps the murderer's actions, from a side perspective, did help the court clean up its house, but this does not change the nature of his behavior.

In any case, the Imperial Observatory is a serious department of the court. Now that the whole family has been wiped out, the impact is terrible.

If the investigation is not thorough, others will follow suit and "enforce justice" every now and then. What dignity does the court have?

It can also be seen from this incident that the two are indeed not the same kind of people.

Wu Anbang has an upright character. Even if the prince breaks the law, he should be punished the same as the common people.

On the other hand, Cao Shaobing has a flexible bottom line and will only speculate on the opinions of his superiors.

In his opinion, the truth of the case is not important. As long as His Majesty thinks it is right, it is right.

On the contrary, if His Majesty thinks it is wrong, then the right is also wrong!

It is precisely because of the personalities of the two people that, so Wu Anbang worked hard for most of his life, but now he is inferior to Cao Shaobing, who got promoted by luck.

I have to say that this is indeed a bit ironic.

However, Wu Anbang is not the kind of young man who is just starting out and full of vigor. He did not confront Cao Shaobing head-on, but quickly changed the subject and talked about another thing.

"To be honest with Commander Cao, I took people to the north this time according to the order of His Majesty to secretly investigate the collusion between the Golden Horde and the Seven Kings, but I accidentally discovered a big secret!"

"Oh? What big secret?"

Hearing this, Cao Shaobing changed his perfunctory attitude just now and became interested.

After all, the Seven Kings in the North made the court feel like a thorn in the throat, and the Golden Horde was a major concern for the court.

If he had a way to solve this matter, he would definitely be able to gain face in front of the empress, and maybe he could take this opportunity to go further.

Compared with the case of the extermination of the Qintianjian family, which Your Majesty did not care about, this is the real great achievement.

Seeing the change in Cao Shaobing's attitude, Wu Anbang knew what he was thinking. He was extremely disdainful in his heart, but his face remained calm. He quickly said: "The secret of the death of Prince Yan!"

"The death of Prince Yan?"

Cao Shaobing frowned and asked subconsciously: "What does the death of Prince Yan have to do with this?"

"Originally I thought it had nothing to do with it, but later I found that it was not only related, but also very big!"

Wu Anbang said solemnly.

Cao Shaobing's appetite was instantly whetted. He immediately sat up straight and said to Wu Anbang with enthusiasm: "Alas, look at me, I'm so busy. You, the chief constable, came all the way here, but you don't even have a cup of tea. Please sit down, please sit down, I'll have someone serve tea."

Wu Anbang's mouth twitched slightly, and he really realized Cao Shaobing's petty character of not showing off until he sees the rabbit.

However, he still waved his hand and said calmly: "No need to be so troublesome. Tea or not is not important. Let's talk about business first."

"Yes, yes, let's talk about business first, let's talk about business first!"

Cao Shaobing's eyes lit up and he asked curiously: "Captain, what do you think is the relationship between the two?"

Wu Anbang has been investigating cases for most of his life. He has always been very perceptive and insightful. How could he not understand people's hearts? It's just that he disdains to use some means.

Now, with just a little trick, he easily caught Cao Shaobing.

He was not proud or complacent, and soon said seriously:

"The death of the King of Yan is of great significance. In a sense, this can be said to be the beginning of the chaos in the Great Zhou. If we can investigate this matter clearly, perhaps we can solve the problem from the source."

"And according to the results of my investigation, this source... is in an unexpected place."

At this point, Wu Anbang suddenly raised his head and looked at Cao Shaobing, and a sharp light instantly burst out from his black eyes.
