I was kicked out of the house, and I was reborn and became the emperor

Hearing this, Fang Yi's heart suddenly shook and his brows frowned.

"Thank you for the message."

Nevertheless, after a brief moment of surprise, the young leader quickly regained his composure and said, "I know what to do. Please go back and tell the Fourth Prince that I will handle this matter properly."

Looking at the eunuch's gradually disappearing back, he knew in his heart that this was not just a simple notification - there was a complex and profound purpose hidden in it... Was it really just out of good intentions?

No, I'm afraid it's far from that simple.

Fang Yi frowned and stared at the eunuch in front of him with a sharp gaze, "Did he say anything else?"

Seeing that the eunuch just shook his head slightly, as if he had nothing else to say except the news he had already reported, Fang Yi waved his hand to signal him to leave.

Then he paced back and forth in the room, and every step seemed to be on his heart.

The destruction of food and fodder on the way made even the usually calm and composed Lord Fang look worried.

What kind of truth is hidden behind this sudden change?

Did someone inside do it on purpose?

Or did the enemy obtain the intelligence in advance?

"If this is really the work of some war hawks..."

Fang Yi pondered the possibilities secretly, "Then this matter is far more complicated than it seems on the surface. It is not just a matter of a batch of military supplies being damaged. I am afraid it will involve a power struggle in the court."

Thinking of this, his expression became even more serious.

"We must find out the situation immediately!"

After deciding on the next action plan, he called out loudly: "Old Bian, come and prepare my horse for a trip to the Ministry of Justice!"

……

Ministry of Punishment.

Fang Yi and Bian Yuqing hurried over. Before they even stepped into the gate, a middle-aged man in a gorgeous official robe came up to them and bowed slightly to Fang Yi: "Greetings, Marquis Guanjun!"

"My Lord, why did you suddenly come to my Ministry of Justice? I wonder why?"

The middle-aged man had his eyelids drooped and his face was stiff, and it seemed that he did not have much respect for the young marquis.

This person was Zhou Weiyong, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice. His position in the court was quite close to that of Wu Dingyuan, and the two were of the same blood.

Fang Yi glanced at Zhou Weiyong coldly, with his hands behind his back: "Where is Wu Dingyuan? Why doesn't he come to greet me in person?"

"Oh, I'm so sorry!"

Zhou Weiyong bent down slightly and replied, "Lord Wu went out on business this morning and has not returned yet."

He secretly despised her in his heart: this newly minted aristocrat, who had just been rewarded for his merits, had actually learned to put on airs; he had broken into the state judicial institution without notice, and as soon as they met, he demanded an audience with the minister - how arrogant he was!

"So... you are in charge of all matters here now?"

Fang Yi stared at him with his eyes slanted, his tone calm. "Then I'll trouble you to lead the way."

"Uh, where is the Marquis going?"

Zhou Weiyong frowned slightly, pretending to be confused. "If I'm not mistaken, your visit this time should be for Zhang Wenyuan, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, right?"

When the name was mentioned, a cold light flashed in the eyes of the boy who was originally as calm as water: "Yes, I came here for him. Take me to see him!"

The assistant minister pretended to think, then shook his head and smiled, "Oh, so you want to meet the prisoner Zhang Wenyuan... But I'm afraid this is a bit difficult."

He paused and continued to explain: "This person is of great importance. No one is allowed to visit him privately unless authorized by His Majesty."

"Oh?"

Fang Yi narrowed his eyes and looked at the other party, his voice as cold as ice: "Including me, the Marquis, is this no exception?"

Facing the young marquis's oppressive gaze, Zhou Weiyong felt a throbbing in his heart.

However, thinking of the forces that supported him from behind, he regained some confidence, lowered his head and replied calmly: "To reply to the Marquis, this is indeed the rule, please forgive me."

After saying that, he gestured to his men to send the gift away.

How can we allow outsiders to interfere in the Ministry of Justice's territory?

Bian Yuqing, who stood at the door and observed the changes calmly, silently clenched his fists...

Fang Yi stood there, with no intention of leaving.

"It seems that the threshold of your department is indeed not low. Even someone of my status would find it difficult to cross it."

His voice sounded coldly, and without paying any attention to Zhou Weiyong in front of him, he walked straight to the Ministry of Justice prison.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Weiyong's eyes suddenly widened.

Fang Yi actually ignored him, an official from the Ministry of Justice?

"My Lord, what is the purpose of this action?"

Zhou Weiyong, who was full of doubt, stepped forward hurriedly and stopped the other party again.

"I hope you can explain it before you get angry."

Before he finished speaking, Fang Yi slowly leaned forward, his cold eyes like a sword piercing into Zhou Weiyong's heart.

"Get out of the way!" He uttered the word concisely and forcefully.

Hearing such harsh words, Zhou Weiyong's expression suddenly changed. Facing Fang Yi's icy cold eyes, he couldn't help feeling uneasy.

I never expected that the person in front of me would be so domineering and rude!

"If you enter the Ministry of Justice to visit the imperial prisoner without the emperor's express order...I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?"

Despite his inner fear, Zhou Weiyong still mustered up the courage to ask and signaled several colleagues to come over to stop him.

However, from his eyes that pretended to be concerned but hid a hint of joking, it could be seen that he actually did not regard this incident as a serious matter, as if he thought that the other party was just humiliating himself.

"What if I say I must go see you?"

Standing there, Fang Yi's tone remained calm.

"Then I have no choice but to offend the Marquis."

With a long sigh, Zhou Weiyong pretended to be in great difficulty, "If I allow Your Excellency to violate the rules of the court without stopping it, I will be ashamed of my duty..."

But before he could finish his words——

A loud and crisp slap cut through all the hypocrisy and excuses.

Instantly, everyone's attention was drawn to him. Zhou Weiyong, who was covering his face, swayed a few times and almost fell down.

After the shock, he stared at the daring man in front of him, his face flushed, shocked and annoyed.

As a high-ranking official for many years, he was treated like this in this holy place? And it happened in front of so many subordinates!

"My Lord! You have insulted me personally, and I will appeal to the Emperor for judgment!"

Zhou Weiyong clenched his teeth, and his tone changed from the previously barely maintained calmness to uncontrollable indignation.

"Yuqing!"

At this moment, Fang Yi only called out a name nonchalantly, while flexing his wrist, his expression as indifferent as if he had done something extremely ordinary.

"I am waiting for your orders here!"

Bian Yuqing immediately responded and quickly stood up, looking at the people opposite with a frosty face.

"Go to the Imperial Study immediately and tell His Majesty that the Minister of Justice Zhou and his men have openly challenged our family's dignity and even attempted assassination."

Then he added a few more dramatic words: "I hope Your Majesty will send elite troops as soon as possible to rescue this humble minister from this dire straits!"

After these words were spoken, everyone present suddenly changed their expressions, and they were surprised and confused...

Especially the expression of Mr. Zhou, who was wrongly accused, became extremely complicated.

Because the so-called assassination of royal members is a heinous crime and is definitely not a joke!

This move by Guanjun Hou was really too cruel.
