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

Ok?

Jiang Xiaobai looked at Zhao Sheng, who was howling, with a look of surprise on his face.

I have to say, Zhao Sheng... is really good at knowing when to back down!

They also know that as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn.

In this respect, she is much smarter than that fair-skinned man on the ground.

No wonder he became the eldest princess's advisor; there must be a reason for it!

With a smile, Jiang Xiaobai looked at Zhao Sheng and said, "Fine, I'll let you go for now!"

That's right, he really didn't think much of Zhao Sheng, but he did have some connections with the Princess.

Moreover, Zhao Sheng and Lin Fengshuo are master and apprentice.

If he really did something, and rumors spread, it would be considered fratricide.

He didn't care, but Lin Fengshuo's reputation would be affected to some extent.

Therefore, now is not the best time to take action!

Although Zhao Sheng breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Jiang Xiaobai's words, his expression was not very pleasant.

Yes, yelling like that in front of so many people.

One can imagine how humiliated he must be at that moment.

However... humiliation is humiliation, but it's better than having a bloody hole in your leg.

With this thought in mind, Jiang Xiaobai also withdrew his gaze and looked back at the fair-skinned man.

"Do you... have anything else to say?"

"Jiang Xiaobai!"

The fair-skinned man clutched his thigh, his face pale, cold sweat pouring from his forehead, but he still gritted his teeth and stared at Jiang Xiaobai.

"Jiang Xiaobai, you just wait, I, Cheng Xiao, will not let you get away with this!"

"Ha, I won't wait!"

Jiang Xiaobai replied.

That's right, he never intended for this guy to live past today!

Even if His Majesty comes, he will kill this thing!

"you……"

The fair-skinned man trembled with anger upon hearing this.

That bastard!

Just then, footsteps sounded outside, and a general approached, respectfully cupping his fists towards Jiang Xiaobai, saying, "Your Highness, the Minister of Justice requests to enter!"

"They're not slow at all!"

Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow, nodded, and said, "Let him in!"

As Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking, the soldier turned and left.

Soon, two figures stepped into the hall, one after the other.

Leading the way was an elderly man dressed in official robes, with an angry expression on his face.

Jiang Xiaobai did have some recollection of this person.

He had met him the first time he attended court; it was Zheng Yu, the Minister of Justice!

As soon as Zheng Yu entered the main hall of the Ministry of Justice, he saw a mess on the floor.

Of course, there was also Zhao Sheng, who was howling in pain, and... the fair-skinned man who was clutching his thigh and lying on the ground.

Further ahead, there was another corpse lying on the ground, its chest covered in blood, looking extremely pitiful.

This scene instantly changed Zheng Yu's expression. He turned to look at Jiang Xiaobai, his voice filled with anger: "Jiang Xiaobai!"

"You've brought so many soldiers and generals, causing such a disturbance at my Ministry of Justice. What exactly is your intention?"

"oh."

Jiang Xiaobai replied calmly, "It's my choice."

"..."

Upon hearing Jiang Xiaobai's words, Zheng Yu almost choked on his breath. He opened his mouth, pointed at Jiang Xiaobai, and stood there speechless for a long time.

Jiang Xiaobai smiled, glancing past Zheng Yu and looking towards the direction behind him.

That's right, when Zheng Yu came in, there was another person following behind him.

But this person rushed straight inside.

Jiang Xiaobai glanced at him and found that the other party was a middle-aged man with a beard, who gave people a steady feeling.

But at this moment, when the middle-aged man faced the fair-skinned man who was lying on the ground, a look of anxiety appeared on his face.

"Xiao'er!"

The middle-aged man knelt down, looking at the injury on the fair-skinned man's leg with a face full of concern: "How are you? Why is your leg bleeding so much?!"

"Who did this?!"

As he spoke, the middle-aged man's eyes were filled with coldness.

hiss!

Jiang Xiaobai gasped, glancing at the middle-aged man and the fair-skinned man, and made a rough guess in his mind.

If nothing unexpected happens, this middle-aged man should be Zhao Bintian, the Chief Justice of the Ministry of Justice, right?

Indeed, he remembered that one of the assassins who tried to kill him had mentioned that Zhao Bintian had homosexual tendencies.

This fair-skinned man was clean-cut and quite handsome.

The two of them might actually have some kind of illicit relationship!

As he pondered, the fair-skinned man saw Zhao Bintian approaching and couldn't hold back any longer, pointing at Jiang Xiaobai as well: "Lord Zhao!"

"It was him, Jiang Xiaobai, who injured me!!"

"Jiang Xiaobai?!"

Zhao Bintian slowly raised her head, her gaze falling on Jiang Xiaobai.

Jiang Xiaobai sat there, looking at Zhao Bintian with a smile on his face, but his gaze was equally icy.

This guy, he's never forgotten the assassins he sent to kill him before.

The two stared at each other for a moment before Zhao Bintian finally looked away and turned to Zhao Sheng beside her.

Seeing Zhao Sheng screaming in pain, Zhao Bintian gritted her teeth and said, "Sheng'er, were you injured by him too?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng stopped shouting, his face stiffening, and he said somewhat awkwardly, "No!"

"what?"

Zhao Bintian angrily retorted, "Then what are you doing here, yelling like that?!"

"..."

Zhao Sheng's lips moved, but he couldn't utter a word.

Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but laugh out loud.

However, judging from Zhao Bintian's attitude towards Zhao Sheng, the two should be related.

But they are probably not father and son.

Indeed, if it were father and son, Zhao Sheng wouldn't be in such an awkward situation.

With these thoughts in mind, Zhao Bintian stood up and looked at Jiang Xiaobai.

"Jiang Xiaobai, do you know how grave your crime is this time?!"

"Killing our Ministry of Justice officials and surrounding our Ministry of Justice with a large force—each of these is a capital offense!"

"If His Majesty punishes you, even the Marquis of Zhenbei might not be able to protect you!!"

"have no idea!"

Jiang Xiaobai shrugged: "I'm not interested in knowing either!"

As he spoke, Jiang Xiaobai seemed to remember something and looked at the fair-skinned man on the ground: "Hehe, by the way, your Xiao'er, hasn't he always wanted to wait for His Majesty to come?"

"We can talk about it when His Majesty arrives!"

"..."

Zhao Bintian's face twitched slightly upon hearing Jiang Xiaobai's words.

The fair-skinned man lay there, his face flushed red, his gaze fixed on Jiang Xiaobai with even greater anger.

"Tsk tsk!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled when he saw their expressions.

It seems that the assassin really wasn't lying!

Shaking his head, Jiang Xiaobai stopped talking, closed his eyes, and waited quietly.

For this reason, the entire Ministry of Justice hall fell silent.

Not long after, even heavier footsteps came from outside.

Click!

But this time, it was clearly not the generals from the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion who were following.

"The Imperial Guard?"

Jiang Xiaobai had a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

Moreover, judging from the sound of the footsteps, it is not difficult to tell that quite a few imperial guards have been mobilized.

Clearly, His Majesty is still wary of him.

Shaking his head, Jiang Xiaobai's lips curled up, his gaze sweeping over Zheng Yu, Zhao Bintian, and the fair-skinned man: "Heh, it seems..."

"The one who will stand up for you has arrived!!"
