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

Outside the main hall of the Ministry of Justice.

With the arrival of the Imperial Guards, the atmosphere changed instantly once again.

The soldiers on the Marquis's side were seen carrying shields and swords.

Some soldiers even pressed their spears down at an angle.

This scene caused the approaching Imperial Guards to break out in a cold sweat.

They had quite a few Imperial Guards, but these were soldiers brought back from the northern border by the Marquis of Zhenbei's mansion.

Those men were all veterans of real battles, having fought on the border.

Even though their Imperial Guards train every day, they are still somewhat inferior to these regular troops.

"His Majesty has arrived!"

Just then, a sharp sound rang out.

The imperial guards made way, and a sedan chair was carried over.

Five figures followed beside the sedan chair.

Besides Eunuch Gao, there were also Xiao Zijin and Xiao Qingheng.

The other two are Li Bingzhang and Chen Zhanqiu.

As luck would have it, they bumped into each other as they approached the Ministry of Justice. Upon seeing the Imperial Guards, they naturally knew His Majesty had arrived, so they waited for him.

They had mentally prepared themselves before coming along.

But when they actually saw the dark mass of heavily armored soldiers outside the Ministry of Justice, the two of them still felt a chill run down their spines.

Chen Zhanqiu's throat moved, and for a moment he didn't know how to speak.

Li Bingzhang's eyes flickered slightly.

Jiang Xiaobai's move is somewhat risky!

On the other side, Xiao Qingheng also took a deep breath.

The oppression of 30,000 people is so terrifying!

Xiao Zijing stood beside him, shocked, but her eyes gleamed.

As a princess, she spent most of her time in the palace, and this was the first time she had ever seen such a scene.

"His Majesty has arrived! You all... make way at once!"

At this moment, Eunuch Gao walked up from beside the sedan chair, looked at the soldiers of the Marquis's mansion blocking the road ahead, and waved his hand.

But as soon as Eunuch Gao finished speaking, not a single soldier from the Marquis's mansion in front of him moved, not even changing his posture.

The eunuch's face immediately froze.

At this moment, a general from the Marquis's mansion stepped out from the front of the army.

The general glanced at Eunuch Gao, then clasped his hands and bowed towards Xiao Jinxuan's sedan chair.

"His Majesty has arrived. Logically, we should give way, but as soldiers, military orders are paramount to us. We... at this moment, only obey military orders!"

These few simple words terrified Eunuch Gao, turning his face pale: "How dare you! His Majesty's words are military orders!"

The general from the Marquis's mansion frowned, but only looked at the sedan chair and ignored Eunuch Gao.

Seeing this, Eunuch Gao dared not say anything more and could only return to the side of the sedan chair: "Your Majesty, this..."

"Yes, I understand!"

Inside the sedan chair, Xiao Jinxuan's voice rang out, and then the curtain was lifted.

Eunuch Gao quickly stepped forward and helped Xiao Jinxuan out.

Xiao Jinxuan stood in front of the sedan chair, his gaze sweeping over the soldiers of the Marquis's mansion before him, his eyes gradually darkening.

After a moment, his gaze fell on the leading general: "Military orders are absolute, I understand!"

"Where is Jiang Xiaobai? Let him come out and see me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, the general from the Marquis's residence clasped his hands in a fist salute to Xiao Jinxuan again: "This subordinate will go immediately to inform my young master!"

After saying that, the general turned around and walked into the Ministry of Justice.

This scene made Xiao Jinxuan's expression even more unpleasant.

Li Bingzhang stood to the side, raised his hand to scratch his nose, and smiled helplessly.

This general... is pretty straightforward!

My young master's words are undoubtedly telling His Majesty that we are all members of the Marquis's household.

It has nothing to do with His Majesty or the court!

Chen Zhanqiu's expression shifted slightly as he approached Xiao Jinxuan's side: "Your Majesty!"

"This Jiang Xiaobai from the Marquis's mansion has gone too far; he must be severely punished today!"

"oh!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan turned and gave Chen Zhanqiu a cold look: "Then tell me, how will you severely punish him?!"

"this……"

Faced with Xiao Jinxuan's icy gaze, Chen Zhanqiu's voice choked.

I didn't dare to say anything more after that.

Li Bingzhang, standing to the side, chuckled softly.

Chen Zhanqiu is supposed to be a Minister, yet he speaks without thinking.

Severe punishment is warranted; the 30,000 soldiers are right here.

Is this the time for severe punishment?!

As Li Bingzhang shook his head, Xiao Qingheng felt somewhat suppressed, while Xiao Zijin continued to look around curiously.

Meanwhile, on a high-rise building not far from the Ministry of Justice, three figures stood watching from afar.

It was Princess Chang and Liu Guanlan, among others.

"His Majesty has arrived, and we don't know what to do!"

Liu Guanlan couldn't help but speak up.

"What else can we do but try to make this a small matter and then let it go!"

The eldest princess shook her head.

Jiang Xiaobai's actions were indeed a serious crime, but she also knew where Jiang Xiaobai's confidence came from!

Based on this alone, Xiao Jinxuan would never punish him in public!

Liu Guanlan looked surprised, but didn't say anything. He'd just have to wait and see.

At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai was still sitting in the main hall of the Ministry of Justice.

At that moment, the general in charge of the announcement strode in: "Your Highness, His Majesty has arrived!"

"They said... they want you to go out and see him!"

"oh!"

Jiang Xiaobai pondered for a moment and then said, "Then please, Your Majesty, come over!"

"yes!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the general turned and walked out again.

Inside the lobby, Zheng Yu's expression immediately changed.

Jiang Xiaobai, though his words were polite, actually dared to send His Majesty here; he really has some nerve!

This is definitely another serious crime!

Jiang Xiaobai stretched and slowly stood up, his gaze sweeping over Zheng Yu and the others: "Remember to tell on me later!"

"Especially you!"

Jiang Xiaobai looked at the fair-skinned man and said calmly, "Don't disappoint me!!"

"Then you can rest assured!"

The fair-skinned man responded with a face full of resentment.

Jiang Xiaobai smiled faintly and said nothing more.

Not long after, a slight commotion broke out among the Marquis's army outside.

Immediately afterwards, the military formation slowly parted, and the sedan chair in which Xiao Jinxuan was sitting was carried in.

Jiang Xiaobai looked up and naturally noticed Li Bingzhang and Chen Zhanqiu.

I also saw Xiao Qingheng and Xiao Zijin behind me.

Perhaps noticing Jiang Xiaobai's gaze, Xiao Zijing actually waved to him.

This scene puzzled Jiang Xiaobai, but he nodded in acknowledgment and then turned his gaze to the sedan chair.

At this moment, Eunuch Gao stepped forward quickly, lifted the curtain, and Xiao Jinxuan slowly walked out of the sedan chair.

As soon as he landed, Xiao Jinxuan's gaze fell upon the corpse on the floor of the hall, as well as the pale-skinned man whose legs were covered in blood.

Finally, Xiao Jinxuan's gaze swept over Zhao Sheng, Zheng Yu, and the others, and finally landed on Jiang Xiaobai.

But before Xiao Jinxuan could speak, Jiang Xiaobai's voice rang out first: "Your Majesty, you've finally arrived!"

"I beg Your Majesty to uphold justice for your subject!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Yu and the other three widened their eyes in surprise.

No, Jiang Xiaobai said earlier that someone had come to their aid.

And they were also told to remember to file a complaint.

As a result, that bastard rushed up there first, and what he asked for was to take charge of himself.

Shameless!

Shameless!

For a moment, all five of them were so angry they wanted to grind their teeth.

The fair-skinned man, in particular, felt his blood rush to his head.

He even had the urge to kill Jiang Xiaobai immediately.

"Oh?"

Xiao Jinxuan narrowed his eyes as he looked at Jiang Xiaobai who had run out, and said coldly, "How do you expect me to make decisions for you?"

"His Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai's face was filled with anger: "The people from the Ministry of Justice are arresting my family's people for no reason!"

"They even...they falsely accused our Zhenbei Marquis's mansion of plotting a rebellion with 800,000 troops!"

Jiang Xiaobai gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, you know that our Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion has been loyal to the Great Hua in guarding the borders. How could we possibly commit such a treasonous act!"

"Therefore, we beseech Your Majesty to decide and execute the troublemaker!"

"Otherwise... I'm afraid it would chill the hearts of my Zhenbei Marquis's mansion and my 800,000-strong army!!"
