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

"What, what do you mean by that...?"

Xiao Jinxuan narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing Jiang Xiaobai's words: "If I don't handle this properly, will your Zhenbei Marquis's mansion blame me?"

"yes!"

Jiang Xiaobai showed no sign of backing down, and immediately responded, cupping his hands in a gesture of respect, saying, "Therefore, I implore Your Majesty to uphold justice for my Zhenbei Marquis's mansion!"

"Stand up for my Zhenbei Marquis's mansion... and my 800,000 troops!"

"Okay, okay!"

Suppressing his anger, Xiao Jinxuan turned to look at the Ministry of Justice, his gaze icy: "What do you have to say?!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Cheng Xiaogu, enduring the pain in his leg, took two steps forward and said urgently, "Jiang Xiaobai is accusing me first!"

After saying this, Cheng Xiao's voice trembled: "It's...it's people from their Marquis's mansion who are bullying ordinary people!"

"They're forcing us to buy drinks at the restaurant. As members of the Ministry of Justice, we can't just stand by and watch this happen."

"Therefore, I detained and interrogated him. I implore Your Majesty to do me justice!"

"His Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai glanced at Cheng Xiao and said indifferently, "Please don't stand up for him. This guy looks like a pretty boy!"

"What they say cannot be believed!"

"Jiang Xiaobai!"

Cheng Xiao was trembling with rage: "Go to hell!"

"His Majesty!"

Jiang Xiaobai immediately cupped his hands in respect: "This man insulted me in public; I beg Your Majesty to execute him!"

"You've insulted me!"

Cheng Xiao was so enraged that he almost spat out blood.

"Oh, I was just stating a fact, not insulting you!"

"You...you..."

Cheng Xiao gritted his teeth, trembling with anger.

"His Majesty!"

Zhao Bintian was also furious. After glaring at Jiang Xiaobai, she bowed and said, "Regardless of whether this matter is right or wrong!"

"Just say that Jiang Xiaobai led 30,000 soldiers to surround our Ministry of Justice, and even killed our officials in the main hall!"

"Such actions show utter disregard for the royal family; in fact, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it treason! I beg Your Majesty to punish us!"

"His Majesty!"

Zheng Yu also stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "This old minister also begs Your Majesty... to punish Jiang Xiaobai!"

That's right, he was the Minister of Justice.

Today, Jiang Xiaobai led his troops to surround the Ministry of Justice and even killed someone in the main hall of the Ministry of Justice, which is a slap in the face to him, the Minister of Justice.

If this matter is let off so easily, how will he maintain his position in the court in the future!

"Treason, ha..."

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and looked at Xiao Jinxuan, saying, "Your Majesty, you heard it with your own ears now!"

"Right now... they're still spreading rumors that our Zhenbei Marquis's mansion is plotting a rebellion!!"

"Jiang Xiaobai, you've mobilized 30,000 troops from the Marquis of Zhenbei's mansion to besiege our Ministry of Justice!"

Zhao Bintian angrily retorted, "What else could it be but an attempt to rebel!"

"Ha ha!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai burst into laughter, then looked at Xiao Jinxuan and asked, "What does Your Majesty think?"

"Could it be that you also believe that my Zhenbei Marquis's mansion is plotting a rebellion?"

"If that's the case... please speak plainly, Your Majesty!!"

boom!

After Jiang Xiaobai said this, many people felt their minds go blank for a moment, followed by a chill running down their spines.

Zhao Bintian and Zheng Yu's expressions also became blank.

Yes, at this moment, he... has finally come to his senses completely.

That's right. The Marquis of Zhenbei's mansion controls the military. Even if they accuse him of treason, would His Majesty dare to accept it?

I'll accept it, just in case... the Marquis of Zhenbei's mansion really does rebel!

Cheng Xiao was also stunned at this moment, and his body trembled even more violently!

Zheng Yu's aged face looked somewhat pale, and he was bent over, trembling constantly.

Yes, the Marquis of Zhenbei's residence has been living in the capital for far too long, following the proper etiquette.

Although Jiang Jingcheng has a bad temper, he still has his bottom line!

This has led many people to forget just how significant an army of 800,000 was!

If the Marquis of Zhenbei's mansion truly rebels, then the Great Hua Dynasty could change hands in an instant!

If the royal family says they'll change the surname, then they will!

Xiao Jinxuan's heart sank. He looked at Jiang Xiaobai for a moment, then laughed loudly twice and said, "Haha, of course I know. The Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion is utterly loyal to my Great Hua!"

"Your father was personally promoted by the late emperor, so... I naturally won't believe the accusation of rebellion!"

As soon as Xiao Jinxuan finished speaking, Cheng Xiao's face turned ashen.

Therefore, this serious crime is nothing to Jiang Xiaobai!

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty!"

As Jiang Xiaobai responded, he continued, "Your Majesty, I have something else to say!"

Jiang Xiaobai paused, glanced at the Ministry of Justice, and said, "Actually, I discovered this through my secret investigation!"

"This Cheng Xiao, and those I just killed, are all connected to enemy forces outside Zhenbei!"

"Therefore, I brought a large force here precisely to prevent them from escaping upon hearing the news!"

After speaking, Jiang Xiaobai's gaze remained icy.

That's right, when he arrived, it was Cheng Xiao, or the person he had killed.

Just empty words, and you start hitting people without warning?

Especially the one he beat to death, who kept saying "I'm willing"?

Ha, if that's how you play, then he can certainly do it too!

Furthermore, since the emperor has already yielded, his current statement can be seen as giving His Majesty a way out.

But these steps are deadly!!

Li Bingzhang's eyes flashed, but he lowered his head and remained silent.

But deep down he had to admit that Jiang Xiaobai's move was truly ruthless!

This action can be considered as settling all old and new scores at once!

"Jiang Xiaobai!"

Upon realizing what was happening, Cheng Xiao's face turned deathly pale: "You...you're spouting nonsense!"

As he spoke, Cheng Xiao hurriedly kowtowed repeatedly to Xiao Jinxuan, crying, "Your Majesty, I am innocent! I have never colluded with the enemy!"

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty has never even been to Zhenbei, how could you possibly be in contact with enemy forces!"

"We beg Your Majesty to see the truth!"

That's right, if this label is pinned on him, not only will he be killed, but his whole family will probably die with him!

"Your Majesty, I have witnesses!"

As Jiang Xiaobai spoke, he glanced at Zhang Xinnian and said, "Zhang Xinnian, you tell us!"

"His Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xinnian immediately stepped forward: "I personally witnessed them colluding with the hostile forces in Zhenbei!"

"That's precisely why they target their subordinates!"

"His Majesty!"

At this moment, Zheng Yu took a deep breath and still spoke: "Cheng Xiao is a senior official in my Ministry of Justice. Although he is a bit impatient in his daily work, he is a decent person."

"It couldn't possibly be a traitorous force from outside Zhenbei; this old minister can attest to that!"

"I can also testify to this!"

Zhao Bintian immediately stepped forward: "Your Majesty, please make the right judgment!"

"His Majesty!"

Jiang Xiaobai looked at Xiao Jinxuan again and said, "Governor Zheng and Zhao Bintian are so strongly protecting him, I believe that they must also have problems!"

"Therefore, I humbly request Your Majesty to issue an edict ordering me to thoroughly investigate the Ministry of Justice!"

hiss! !

Zhao Sheng, who was standing nearby, was initially thinking about whether he should say a few words in support.

Upon hearing Jiang Xiaobai's words, Zhao Sheng gasped and immediately shut his mouth.

That's right, even if he did protect her, he would still be labeled as such.

That would be a very big deal.

Chen Zhanqiu took a step forward, but instantly withdrew it.

Yes, he wanted to help too.

But this...

Jiang Xiaobai shut him down with a single sentence.

What can I say? Saying it will only cause trouble.

I have to say, that bastard Jiang Xiaobai, his methods this time... were truly ruthless!!
