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

After getting the answer, Fang Yi couldn't help but frown and think - after all, as one of the border areas and located in a dangerous position, Cangzhou is not only an important gateway to the enemy's territory, but also a place that has been invaded by foreign enemies many times in history.

However, the question now is: if the grain-protecting team led by Zhang Wenyuan had just entered Cangzhou and had not yet reached the provincial capital, then why would there be such a group of attackers who were obviously carefully planned and had clear goals?

Are there more complex political considerations behind these attacks?

Or...are there not only spies hiding in the transport team, but also some high-ranking people who are collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country lurking in the court?

"My Lord, I already know the whole thing."

After taking a deep breath, Fang Yi stretched out his hand through the cage and gently but firmly comforted: "Please don't blame yourself too much."

"Like I told you before we left, your safe return is enough to comfort me."

"As for the rest of the investigation and handling work, leave it all to me!"

He promised in a deep, powerful voice.

In fact, they had long regarded each other as family members in their hearts; therefore, the last time Fang Yi was imprisoned, it was because of Zhang Wenyuan's generous support that he was able to escape; now it was his turn to repay this kindness!

No matter what, we must uncover the truth and clear Brother Zhang's name...

……

At the same time, inside the Ministry of Justice compound, the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Zhou Weiyong and his companions paced back and forth anxiously, everyone's brows were tightly furrowed, as if they were bound by an invisible pressure.

Not far away, Bian Yuqing stood alone quietly, with his hands folded across his chest, looking exceptionally calm.

His eyes were as calm as water, as if he was oblivious to the noise of the outside world, letting the air around him be filled with depression and anxiety.

"My Lord, this Champion Marquis is indeed too ostentatious!"

A voice whispered in Zhou Weiyong's ear, with a dissatisfied tone.

When Zhou Weiyong heard this, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, and he just snorted coldly in response.

"That's not ostentation at all, it's simply being arrogant!"

He secretly thought.

In his opinion, Fang Yi was only so arrogant because of his previous victory over Dong Lan. If it were in the past, how dare he be so rude!

"We must report this matter to His Majesty!"

Zhou Weiyong gritted his teeth and spoke out what was in his mind, his anger almost evident in his words.

However, when his eyes accidentally met the figure standing not far away, he had to suppress his anger no matter how strong it was.

Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the temporary silence in the yard. "The Minister is here!"

They saw that the leader of a group of people approaching quickly from a distance was Wu Dingyuan. Everyone was shocked when they saw this, and their previously tense faces suddenly relaxed.

"Finally I've waited for you, Lord Shangshu."

Just as Zhou Weiyong was about to report the situation, he was interrupted: "Where is Guanjun Hou? Where is he?"

Wu Dingyuan skipped the small talk and went straight to the heart of the matter in a cold and firm tone.

The surroundings instantly returned to dead silence.

Then, the official asked more harshly: "Who let him in? I have issued a strict order prohibiting any non-public personnel from contacting Zhang Wenyuan!"

Obviously very unhappy about this matter.

Zhou Weiyong lowered his head, a little panicked: "I tried my best to dissuade them, but they didn't listen to my advice at all..."

Although his words did not fully express his meaning, he conveyed more information to the other party through an unintentional glance - everything was under his control, and now he just had to wait for the opportunity.

Then he turned and walked towards Bian Yuqing who was still standing alone.

"General Bian, Minister Wu wants you to come over."

As he said this, an almost imperceptible smile flashed across Zhou Weiyong's face. With Wu Dingyuan's support, he didn't need to be afraid even in the most tricky situations.

After all, the person standing behind him is one of the most honorable people in the entire Ministry of Justice.

Bian Yuqing walked towards Wu Dingyuan leisurely without saying a word.

"It was you who broke into our Ministry of Justice prison with Marquis Guanjun?"

Before Bian Yuqing could answer, Wu Dingyuan's anger erupted. "You disregarded the law and openly violated the Ministry of Justice's forbidden area. Do you know how serious this crime is?"

Facing the accusations, Bian Yuqing remained calm as always: "I was only responsible for accompanying the Champion Marquis to check on the prisoners, and I did not realize that this action violated the law."

His calm words seemed to show that he was completely unaware of Wu Dingyuan's growing anger.

Zhou Weiyong immediately rebuked him upon seeing this: "Too presumptuous!"

He stared at Bian Yuqing with cold eyes.

At this time, Wu Dingyuan had withdrawn his gaze, stood with his hands behind his back, and showed a disdainful smile on his face, "Since you dare to challenge the majesty of the imperial power and defy the court's decrees, you are committing a heinous crime. Regarding the behavior of the Marquis of Guanjun, I will report it to the emperor truthfully; as for you..." As he said, he turned his gaze to Bian Yuqing, "You are the deputy general of the Marquis of Guanjun, but you not only did not stop it, but became an accomplice."

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved the sleeves of his robe and ordered the people around him: "Catch this prisoner and put him in the cell to wait for his punishment!"

"As ordered!"

Following a response, Zhou Weiyong sneered, and then directed a group of guards from the Ministry of Justice to quickly surround Bian Yuqing.

Does that lawless young man Fang Yi really think that no one can control him?

If he can't even deal with his own men, how can he be called the powerful Minister of Justice?

Zhang Wenyuan has been captured, and the next thing to do is to deal with this man named Bian Yuqing...

Just when the scene was extremely tense, a lazy but teasing voice came from the entrance of the prison: "Oh, you are indeed worthy of being an upright official! Lord Wu is really full of official airs~"

Fang Yi walked over lightly, looking at everyone with a half-smile on his face.

After seeing this, the soldiers who were about to take action stopped immediately, and the whole atmosphere became a little subtle. Wu Dingyuan narrowed his eyes, and his face looked more serious than before.

Could it be that... Fang Yi had just sneaked into the prison to look for some key information? Just as Wu Dingyuan was lost in thought, he heard the latter's teasing question in his ears: "Master Wu, who did you say you wanted to arrest just now?"

Facing Fang Yi's inquiring gaze, this old minister, who had always considered himself to be in a high position of power, felt an unprecedented sense of uneasiness in his heart.

"Huaihua Langzhong Captain Bian Yuqing entered the area under my jurisdiction without permission and disrupted the rules and order. He is now considered a suspect and awaits further investigation."

Hearing this, Fang Yi's lips curled up into a slightly sarcastic smile.

"You can't just say you broke in by force. Sir Wu, you're asking this even though you already know the answer~"

The words were full of confrontational attitude.
