Changxing Hou Mansion.

"Since I removed my armor and returned home, I have not been interested in the affairs of the court for a long time. However, I remember that Brother Tang was present when the Second Emperor's grandson was enthroned last time, and also at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. Brother Tang also saw him, right? "

"In your opinion, how is this boy? Is it really like what the rumors say?"

After Geng Bingwen pondered for a moment, he asked curiously while adding more tea to Tang He.

Tang He showed hesitation after hearing this. After thinking about it, he smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"It seems that this boy does have something different. There are probably not many people in the court who can make Brother Tang see through him."

Seeing Tang He's reaction, a flash of surprise flashed between Geng Bingwen's eyebrows, and he said thoughtfully.

Although Tang He could not speak, Geng Bingwen immediately understood what Tang He wanted to express thanks to their many years of friendship.

Ever since Tang He became speechless, the conversation between the two of them had been like this. Over time, Geng Bingwen could guess Tang He's thoughts through Tang He's behavior.

Tang He nodded without saying much, raised his tea cup and gave a toast to Geng Bingwen, and then fell into deep thought again.

"It seems that his rise is not accidental. I'm afraid everyone has seen it wrong."

Geng Bingwen raised his glass in return and said thoughtfully.

As veterans of the court, they each had their own thoughts on the matter of appointing a crown prince. However, I am afraid that neither of them thought that the person His Majesty favored would actually be this once notorious playboy.

...

Two days later.

Changxing Hou Mansion.

"Master! Master!"

"Oh no, something big happened!"

Amid a panicked call, housekeeper Liu Hai rushed into the backyard in panic and broke into the study directly.

"What kind of behavior is it to shout and scream?!"

Geng Bingwen, who was practicing calligraphy, was startled. The right hand holding the pen shook uncontrollably, destroying a copybook on the table. So he couldn't help but glared at Liu Hai and said reproachfully.

"Master! The young master was arrested by people from the Ministry of War!"

Liu Hai didn't bother to admit his mistake and apologize, and said anxiously with a grimace.

"what?!"

"what happened?!"

When Geng Bingwen heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly frowned and asked.

"I don't know the specific situation. I just heard rumors from outside that the young master had a conflict with someone in Fushouju and was directly arrested by the Xiaoqi Guards. He has been taken to the Ministry of War!"

Liu Hai shook his head and said in a panic.

"That's unreasonable!"

"Prepare the car!"

Geng Bingwen's face instantly darkened, and while giving orders in a deep voice, he casually dropped the brush in his hand on the desk and strode out.

Although he is nearly sixty years old, as a military general, his body is still strong and he walks with great strength.

Soon, Geng Bingwen rode the prepared carriage straight to the Yamen of the Ministry of War.

...

Ministry of War.

As the carriage stopped, Geng Bingwen quickly walked out of the carriage, without any support from his bangs, and jumped out directly dragging the shaft with one hand. He looked really anxious.

"stop!"

But before Geng Bingwen could get closer, the two guards guarding the door stretched out their hands to block the way.

"How dare you! Even dare to block my way?!"

"Go away!"

Geng Bingwen's face instantly darkened, he gave a sharp shout, pushed one of them away, and continued walking inside.

Originally he had three sons, but the other two sons had died in battle many years ago, and now there was only this one sapling left. Hearing that something had happened, he was already so anxious that he could not care about anything else.

The two guards blocking the road were also strong, but after being pushed by Geng Bingwen, the man stumbled back a few steps before regaining his balance. It was enough to see that although Geng Bingwen had removed his armor and returned home, he still had The effort hasn't finished yet.

"How dare you trespass on the important territory of the Ministry of War?!"

The two guards were stunned for a moment, then pulled out the weapons from their waists and shouted sternly.

At the same time, several guards rushed out and directly surrounded Geng Bingwen.

"presumptuous!"

"Do you know who the person standing in front of you is?!"

Upon seeing this, Liu Hai hurriedly raised his voice and shouted loudly.

"No matter who it is, anyone who breaks into the Ministry of War Yamen without permission will be punished by death!"

The guard didn't listen at all and scolded him coldly.

"This is your Majesty's personal appointment as the General of the Kingdom, the Marquis of Changxing!"

Liu Hai glared at the guard who spoke and shouted at the top of his lungs.

Hearing Liu Hai's words, the guards present froze on the spot at the same time, looking at Geng Bingwen who was full of anger and anxiety, and for a moment they didn't know what to do.

Although they didn't know Geng Bingwen, they knew the name of Marquis Changxing very well! Naturally, I know that with my status, I absolutely cannot afford to offend!

At this moment, the sound of footsteps was heard, and Tang Duo, Minister of the Ministry of War, ran out quickly.

"grown ups!"

Seeing Tang Duo coming, several guards quickly stepped aside and saluted Tang Duo respectfully.

"Go away!"

Tang Duo glared at several people, pushed them away, and quickly came to Geng Bingwen.

"Master Tang is really a good disciplinarian! All of his men are elite soldiers and generals! I wonder if they will be useful on the battlefield in the future!"

Geng Bingwen snorted coldly and said sarcastically.

"Hey, Mr. Hou, how can the kung fu of three-legged cats like you catch your eye?"

"I didn't know that the Marquis was coming, so I missed him from afar. I hope you will forgive me."

"What are you doing standing there?! Why don't you quickly salute the Marquis of Changxing?!"

While Tang Duo was flattering, he turned around, glanced at his subordinates, and shouted in a deep voice.

"I've met Marquis Changxing!"

When the guards heard this, they hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Stop doing this! I heard you arrested my son?!"

Geng Bingwen snorted coldly, waved his hand, and asked in a deep voice.

"It is indeed true, but the Marquis arrived a step too late. Your son has already been handed over to the Ministry of Punishment."

Tang Duo nodded with a grimace and replied apologetically.

"Why?!"

Geng Bingwen was stunned for a moment and asked immediately.

"My son committed a drunken crime in Fushouju and killed someone. The matter has become so big that even my subordinates can't cover it up even if they want to..."

"I'm afraid this matter has alarmed His Majesty..."

Tang Duo explained with a grimace. At the end of the sentence, he took a step forward and lowered his voice to remind.

Hearing Tang Duo's answer, Geng Bingwen couldn't help being shocked!

"Impossible! Xuan'er wouldn't be so impulsive!"

Geng Bingwen shook his head and said solemnly.

"How dare a low-ranking official say something like this? Many people saw it at that time, and the Knight Rider arrested the person in public!"

Tang Duo smiled bitterly and said helplessly.

Geng Bingwen glanced at Tang Duo, gritted his teeth, turned around and left, heading straight to the Criminal Department.

Seeing Geng Bingwen leaving in a carriage, Tang Duo patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

...

Ministry of Punishment.

"I have met the Marquis of Changxing, Ge Cheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment!"

As soon as Geng Bingwen arrived at the Ministry of Justice, he was bumped into by Ge Cheng, so he hurriedly shouted back the guards who tried to stop him, and bowed respectfully to Geng Bingwen.

"Hand over my son!"

Geng Bingwen said coldly with a calm face.

"If you return to the Marquis, I'm afraid you won't be able to see him for the time being. Your Majesty has committed a serious crime and must be temporarily detained by the Ministry of Punishments. Once the matter is cleared up, your Majesty will be informed of his decision."

Ge Cheng explained carefully with a grimace.

"Felony?!"

"Since the matter has not been found out, why don't you let me see him?!"

"Since you said he killed someone, why did he kill someone?! Which evil person did he kill?!"

Geng Bingwen frowned, looked at Ge Cheng coldly, and asked in a deep voice.

"this..."

"Please forgive me for not being able to tell you."

Ge Cheng hesitated for a moment, shook his head helplessly and said.

"Can't answer?!"

"In this case, I must take him away!"

Geng Bingwen snorted coldly, and rushed directly inside as he spoke.

Ge Cheng was stunned for a moment, with a look of embarrassment on his face. He had no choice but to keep trying to dissuade her, and did not dare to reach out to stop him.

During the commotion, footsteps came from inside, and a middle-aged man in his forties slowly walked out. Facing the menacing Geng Bingwen, he looked calm and calm, his face as calm as water.

This man was originally the county magistrate of a remote county town. He had always been impartial and selfless. He had been diligent and caring for the people for many years. There had not been a single unjust, false or wrongful case in the area under his jurisdiction for more than ten years!

Therefore, after being recommended by the Ministry of Officials, he was transferred to Kyoto by Zhu Yuanzhang and was promoted to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. It was a blockbuster!

"It turns out that the Marquis of Changxing is here. The newly appointed Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, Kang Haoming, has met the Marquis."

After Kang Haoming came closer, he bowed his hands and greeted politely.

"Where is my son?!"

Geng Bingwen looked the unfamiliar Kang Haoming up and down and asked in a deep voice.

Geng Bingwen didn't give a good look to the unknown Kang Haoming...
