My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

"What the hell? Zhang Xinnian has been detained?!"

Jiang Xiaobai stared at the general, his face filled with disbelief: "Who has such audacity?!"

That's right, their Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion has quite a prestigious reputation.

Moreover, with so many soldiers going together, would anyone dare to detain them?

He might believe it if someone was detained at the Green Robe Drunken Pavilion.

After all, behind that place is the current Fourth Prince.

But which other restaurant in the capital would dare to do that?!

After all, Zhang Xinnian is still a commander of the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion!

"Yes……"

The general gritted his teeth and said, "They're from the Ministry of Justice!"

"Ministry of Justice?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai's expression immediately turned cold.

Previously, the chief of the Ministry of Justice, that guy named Zhao Bintian, sent assassins to kill him.

Now they've detained Zhang Xinnian again?

Do you really think the Marquis of Zhenbei's mansion is just a bunch of freeloaders?!

"That's right!"

The general continued, "There were skilled fighters among their men; they captured Commander Zhang on the spot."

"Although we outnumber them, Commander Zhang is in their hands, so we dare not make any rash moves!"

The general paused, then continued, "Moreover, they left a message saying that if you want the prisoners released, Your Highness, you must personally go to their Ministry of Justice to demand it!"

"Ha, you want me to go and demand them myself?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai was both amused and exasperated: "Fine, that's really great!!"

In the flashing cold light, Jiang Xiaobai looked at the general and asked, "So, how did the conflict between you two start in the restaurant?"

"Your Highness, they're the ones who approached us!"

The general said, "At that time, Commander Zhang led us into the restaurant, and then we discussed things with the owner as instructed by the young master."

"The boss had already agreed, but then people from the Ministry of Justice suddenly stepped forward and said that threatening civilians was a serious crime!"

"After Zhang Qianhu said a few words to them, they started arguing."

"Later, a martial arts master from the Ministry of Justice suddenly attacked, and Commander Zhang was unable to dodge and was subdued."

At this point, the general's face showed resentment: "We wanted to take action, but Commander Zhang was in their hands, so there was nothing we could do!"

"Therefore... therefore, I can only return to report to the Crown Prince first."

"What a fine Ministry of Justice!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai's cold gaze intensified.

"Young Master, should we tell the Marquis about this?"

The general hesitated for a moment before saying, "Let the Marquis and His Majesty speak with him."

"I believe... as long as His Majesty gives the order, the Ministry of Justice will not dare to refuse to release him!"

"Um?"

Jiang Xiaobai looked up at the general, frowned, and asked, "Why are you going to see His Majesty?"

"this……"

The general was immediately embarrassed: "This has happened before. The Marquis said... the Ministry of Justice is, after all, an important ministry of the court."

"If we rush over there directly and things escalate, we might be accused of treason and rebellion!"

"So, the Marquis always speaks to His Majesty about things, and then..."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Before the general could finish speaking, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly burst into laughter: "Worried about disobeying orders and rebelling?"

"Oh, my old man, he's so incredibly foolish!"

He knew his father's thoughts; having received the late emperor's favor, he did not want to be branded as a rebel.

He can understand these things.

But understanding is one thing, but what does that have to do with being manipulated by outsiders at every turn?!

The Jiang family has an army of 800,000, and they're still cowardly?

What a coward!

Rebellion?

Who the hell would dare say that in front of an army of 800,000?

Even if someone dared to say that, would the current emperor dare to admit it?!

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaobai sneered.

Perhaps it is precisely because the Marquis of Zhenbei's mansion has been enduring this that some people think that the Marquis of Zhenbei's mansion is easy to manipulate?

But if we detain Zhang Xinnian today, can we detain other generals in the Marquis's mansion tomorrow?

Going further down the line, could they... just detain him, the heir of the Jiang family?!

Are you kidding me?!

The Ministry of Justice, right?

Today, he will show the Ministry of Justice what the Marquis's mansion, known as the "King of the North," truly is.

The title "Zhenbei" (镇北) not only governs the north, but it also damn well governs the capital!

"Don't tell my father!"

Jiang Xiaobai's gaze fell on the general: "I'll take charge of this matter!"

"Go and inform the soldiers of our Zhenbei Marquis's mansion. Damn it, gather as many as you can, and make sure they are all assembled for me."

"what?"

The general was stunned, wondering if he had misheard. He swallowed hard and said, "Your Highness, our Zhenbei Marquis's mansion has at least 30,000 soldiers in the capital!"

"Never mind the tens of thousands!!"

Jiang Xiaobai looked at the general and said, "Assemble them all, one by one!!!"

Gudong!

The general listened, and his throat moved.

The Marquis's 30,000 troops have all assembled!

Just thinking about it makes him feel inexplicably excited!

"Our Zhenbei Marquis's mansion has been living in comfort for far too long!"

Jiang Xiaobai said coldly, "Heh, so long ago that some people really think our Marquis's Mansion has no temper!"

"Very well, today I, the young master, will show them what the true, unbridled spirit of the Marquis of Zhenbei's mansion is!"

"It's the Crown Prince!"

Upon hearing this, the general felt a surge of heat throughout his body, and his entire being became excited.

Yes, they are from the Zhenbei Marquis's residence.

With a full 800,000 troops in the North, when did it become the Ministry of Justice's place to arbitrarily detain people?!

"Go! Assemble the troops within one hour!"

As Jiang Xiaobai waved his hand, the general's eyes welled up with tears, and he clenched his fist heavily above his head: "Your subordinate will take care of it immediately!"

After saying that, the general stood up and rushed outside.

The footsteps soon faded away, and the room fell silent again.

Tang Ningshuang stood behind, looking at Jiang Xiaobai's back with a shocked expression.

She knew Jiang Xiaobai was bold, but she didn't expect him to be this bold!

All 30,000 soldiers of the Marquis's mansion were assembled.

If word gets out, even the current emperor might not be able to sit still.

"Jiang Xiaobai, you... really want to make this big?"

Tang Ningshuang couldn't help but speak up at this moment.

"This matter is not as simple as you think! The Ministry of Justice dared to detain Zhang Xinnian, which means someone must be trying to test the bottom line of our Zhenbei Marquis's mansion."

Upon hearing Tang Ningshuang's voice, Jiang Xiaobai turned around and said, "Since they want to try, then naturally I'll let them try it out!"

"But if 30,000 troops are assembled, and things get out of hand, it might be very difficult to control the situation!"

Tang Ningshuang frowned.

"Ha, who said I was going to back down?"

Jiang Xiaobai suddenly smiled and said, "Trust me, someone will naturally... take the initiative to clean up this mess for us!"

"That……"

"I know what you're trying to say!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and looked at Tang Ningshuang, saying, "But if we're going to play, let's play big!"

As he spoke, a cold glint flashed in Jiang Xiaobai's eyes again: "Otherwise, this... would be so boring..."
