Two of the Praetorian Guards picked up the black caltrops again and prepared to light the fuse.

"I don't want to die! Seventh Princess, please let us go! We are really just here to drink tea..." A man's cry came from the second floor.

"If you want this princess to spare you, you can let the shopkeeper Yan Guangan settle down, otherwise! Everyone inside will die here!" Baili ridiculed.

The man immediately shouted: "Manager Yan, if you still have some conscience, just get out! We can't let so many of us die here just because of you!"

"Manager Yan, please let us go..." The pleading voices of many people came from the second floor.

"One..." Bailixi started counting, "Two, three..." When she counted to three, a loud shout suddenly came.

"stop!"

Baili Xi turned around and saw a man on horseback galloping towards this side.

It’s Fang Zhengjun, the young minister of Dali Temple!

Her face suddenly became unhappy, what was this person doing?

Seeing that the two imperial guards still didn't take action, he suddenly became a little angry and said: "You dog slave, what are you still doing?"

"Yes!" The two guards quickly lit the fuse and threw it into the teahouse.

"Whizzing--"

Several hidden weapons flew over, hitting the two black caltrops and falling to the ground.

Baili Xi was startled and quickly pulled a soldier next to him to block him. Everyone present also ran away in shock.

However, the two black caltrops did not explode.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the leads of the two black caltrops had been cut off by the hidden weapon.

"Hey!" Fang Zhengjun arrived on horseback, jumped up from his horse, and landed in front of the gate of Shunyi Teahouse.

Looking at the dead and wounded lying on the ground inside and outside the house, he frowned and looked at Baili Xi, "Seventh Princess, what do you want to do? Why do you want to kill innocent people indiscriminately?"

"What does this princess want to do? Fang Zhengjun, it is this princess who should ask you this!"

Baili Xi pointed at him and asked: "This princess is here to capture the remnants of Baimei Tower who are hiding in Shunyi Teahouse under the orders of my father. You actually dare to stop me. What do you want to do?"

Fang Zhengjun's face darkened, "As the young minister of Dali Temple, I have the responsibility to maintain the stability and public order of Zhongyun City. With such a big thing happening here, I naturally cannot sit idly by."

"Yes! You are the Young Minister of Dali Temple!" Bailixi looked at him and rolled his eyes a few times, "I heard that you have the reputation of a detective, so I will leave it to you to capture the remnants of Baimei Tower. ”

"Then princess, do you have any evidence that the teahouse owner is from Baimeilou? What crimes have they committed? If the evidence is conclusive, I will definitely bring the criminals to justice and punish them severely." Fang Zhengjun asked. .

"Of course!" Baili Xi ordered the people around him: "Bring them up."

"Yes!"

Two imperial guards dragged up a tied-up man covered in blood and threw him in front of Fang Zhengjun.

"That's him, the waiter of this Shunyi teahouse. He was the one who posted these notices all over Zhongyun City last night and was caught by my princess's people."

Baili Xi took out another proclamation and said: "In this proclamation, the late prince who has passed away many years ago is used to talk about things, and every word is deliberately slandering and slandering the father. As well as the major events that have happened recently, they must also be related to Shunyi." It’s related to the teahouse. Fang Zhengjun, do you think the person from the Shunyi teahouse should be arrested?”

"Did you really post this notice?" Fang Zhengjun asked the arrested waiter.

"So what if I did it?" The waiter spat at Baili Xi.

"Bah! Baili Changtai is Yuan Ling's evil descendant. He killed the former prince and took over the Baili clan..."

"You bitch, you're looking for death!" Baili Xi's eyes were fierce, and he pulled out the sword in his hand and was about to kill the waiter.

"Princess, wait!" Fang Zhengjun raised his sword to stop her.

"Fang Zhengjun, do you want to protect this bitch?" Baili Xi was extremely angry.

This was the first time in her life that she was insulted and spat on by such a lowly person. How could she bear it?

Fang Zhengjun, however, looked fearless, "Since he is a remnant of Baimei Tower, it is of course useful for me to keep him here."

"I think you want to protect him, Fang Zhengjun. The remnants of Baimei Tower have been lurking in Zhongyun City for many years, but you deliberately failed to detect them. Could it be that you have colluded with the people from Baimei Tower?"

"Seventh Princess, be careful what you say."

Fang Zhengjun's face turned cold, and he spoke righteously: "Wei Chen has been in Dali Temple for five years. He has governed the country's laws, pacified the world, punished the people, and never punished the officials! He has devoted his whole life to the court and has never slacked off. Wei Chen has a clear conscience. , I cannot tolerate the Seventh Princess slandering me like this!"

The Shaoqing of Dali Temple is the deputy to the Minister of Dali Temple and one of the important officials of the imperial court. Although his position is not high, he also enjoys high prestige and power.

Its responsibilities are also very wide, including hearing criminal, civil and administrative cases, supervising the work of judicial organs, and also participating in the formulation of laws and policies, etc...

"In that case..." Baili Xi took out the emperor's token and raised it in front of him.

"Fang Zhengjun, please show this princess clearly. This is my father's token. This princess is here to investigate last night's announcement according to my father's order.

This princess is warning you now, either leave here immediately and stay out of my business. Either arrest the remnants of Shunyi Teahouse immediately, or else! If you continue to hinder this princess from catching the criminal, be careful about the head on your neck. "

Seeing the emperor receiving the card was like seeing a holy face. Fang Zhengjun lifted up his robe and knelt down on one knee.

"Since it is His Majesty's will, Weichen should assist the princess in catching the criminals. However, these people are innocent people. Please allow Weichen to take these people down for treatment."

"Fang Zhengjun, it seems you haven't heard what I said clearly." Baili Xi's voice became sharp with anger.

"As for you, mother-in-law, if the remnants of Baimei Tower escape because of these untouchables, I, the princess, will take it upon you!"

Fang Zhengjun looked at the token in her hand, clenched his fists, and had no choice but to step back.

"Since no one comes out, you continue to bomb me." Baili Xi was already impatient.

Several guards picked up the black caltrops, lit the fuse and threw them into the teahouse.

"Boom boom boom..."

There were several violent explosions, and the whole teahouse shook. Some timid tea patrons were frightened out of their wits, holding their heads and screaming in surprise.

"Yan Guang'an, I count to three more times. If you don't come out and surrender, I will blow up this teahouse!" Baili ridiculed.

Fang Zhengjun couldn't bear it and was afraid of hurting more people, so he shouted inside:

"Manager Yan, if you are a man, come out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Guangan walked down from the second floor.

The guards immediately drew their swords and rushed to the door.

Yan Guang'an walked to the door and said calmly: "I, Yan Guang'an, am responsible for posting the notice. Please let all the tea guests go!"
