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

what?

Jiang Xiaobai's words shocked many officials present.

That's right, Jiang Xiaobai is definitely not someone you should mess with!

Chen Zhanqiu provoked Jiang Xiaobai, and the final result was... the Ministry of Rites was thoroughly investigated by Jiang Xiaobai!

The Ministry of Justice has provoked Jiang Xiaobai, and now the Ministry of Justice is under thorough investigation!

Now, Jiang Xiaobai is heading towards Chief Minister Meng.

And they've made it clear, regardless of your official rank!

That's ruthless!

Moreover, what if Jiang Xiaobai actually manages to get the mission done?

Then...wouldn't Chief Minister Meng also be thoroughly investigated by Jiang Xiaobai?!

Thinking of this, many people gasped in shock.

Some people even felt a chill run from their feet to the top of their heads.

"His Majesty!"

After regaining his senses, Meng Xiutang's face clearly showed anger. He immediately looked up at Xiao Jinxuan and said, "I think this Jiang Xiaobai... is clearly just being unreasonable!!"

"I'm being unreasonable?!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai sneered: "Heh, if Chief Minister Meng is innocent, he has nothing to fear from an investigation."

"In my opinion, only those who have a guilty conscience would keep making excuses!"

As he spoke, Jiang Xiaobai paused slightly, glancing casually towards the Ministry of Rites: "Just like Minister Chen, he's been trying every possible way to stop me from investigating!"

"If this isn't a guilty conscience, what is it?!"

"..."

Chen Zhanqiu, who was standing below just fine, was speechless upon hearing this.

No, he didn't provoke this evil star today.

How did it end up on him after just one turn?

For a moment, Chen Zhanqiu wanted to lash out, but then he thought of Jiang Xiaobai's vengeful nature.

In the end, Chen Zhanqiu endured it without saying a word, but his face darkened and he turned his head away.

Meng Xiutang glanced at Chen Zhanqiu and said coldly, "Fine!"

"If you can do it, then go ahead and investigate!!"

"His Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai immediately looked at Xiao Jinxuan: "Chief Minister Meng has already agreed, please grant His Majesty's permission!!"

"If that's the case..."

Xiao Jinxuan sat above, glancing at Meng Xiutang, then at Jiang Xiaobai, before finally speaking, "Then I... grant permission!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled: "Regarding the mission, I will certainly handle it well and strive to thoroughly...investigate Prime Minister Meng!"

After saying that, Jiang Xiaobai glanced at Meng Xiutang and then retreated.

Meng Xiutang flicked his sleeves, his face grim, and retreated back into the ranks of the officials.

"Do any of my other ministers have anything else to report?"

Xiao Jinxuan withdrew his gaze and looked at the other officials, asking them a question.

After he finished speaking, the court fell into complete silence, and no one spoke.

"Alright, since there's nothing else, let's adjourn the court!"

As Xiao Jinxuan spoke, he slowly stood up.

"Court adjourned!"

After seeing this, Eunuch Gao immediately stepped forward, and his shrill voice echoed throughout the hall.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

All the civil and military officials bowed.

After Eunuch Gao helped Xiao Jinxuan leave the main hall of the court, everyone slowly straightened up and walked out one after another.

However, many officials couldn't help but glance in the direction of Jiang Xiaobai as they left.

Most of them looked wary.

In the future, it's best to avoid provoking Jiang Xiaobai if possible!

If... Jiang Xiaobai were to target him too, who knows what kind of trouble might arise.

That's right. If Jiang Xiaobai could lead 30,000 soldiers to surround the Ministry of Justice yesterday, he can lead his troops to surround them tomorrow as well.

Jiang Xiaobai, however, didn't seem to care about the stares; a faint smile remained on his face.

But when he turned around, he saw Meng Xiutang walking by.

As their eyes met, Meng Xiutang coldly said, "Hmph, Jiang Xiaobai, I'd like to see how you'll handle receiving the delegations from both countries!"

"Heh, Prime Minister Meng, you should worry more about how to deal with it when I investigate you!"

Jiang Xiaobai spoke up.

"Okay, I'll be waiting!"

After Meng Xiutang finished speaking with a cold snort, he turned and left.

Just as Meng Xiutang left, Li Bingzhang and Tang Ningshuang arrived at Jiang Xiaobai's side.

"My dear son-in-law!"

Li Bingzhang turned his gaze from Meng Xiutang to Jiang Xiaobai, and sighed softly, "You shouldn't have taken this job!"

That's right. If it were just a delegation from Qi, it wouldn't be a big deal.

But Beiyu is different.

Over the years, the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion and Beiyu have had a deep-seated feud.

If Bei Yu knew that the person receiving them was Jiang Xiaobai, a conflict... would probably be inevitable.

Although Tang Ningshuang didn't say anything, her expression clearly showed her approval.

For many years, Jiangjia Town has been located in the north, and countless Beiyu people have been killed in the process.

Therefore, the blood feud between Bei Yu and the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion is absolutely irreconcilable.

The fact that Jiang Xiaobai is now hosting the Beiyu delegation is a malicious move.

Jiang Xiaobai insisted on accepting the offer, and if something goes wrong, it could be a huge problem!

"This whole thing must have been planned a long time ago."

Jiang Xiaobai said, "Right now, it's just that it's been taken out ahead of schedule!"

"So even if I don't take it, this matter will probably end up falling on my shoulders anyway."

That's true!

Li Bingzhang frowned slightly: "But at least, we should avoid it if possible. As long as we don't accept it, there's still room for negotiation!"

"You can accept it now..."

With that, Li Bingzhang shook his head and didn't say anything more. He believed that Jiang Xiaobai understood what he meant.

That's right, accepting the call is equivalent to entering the game.

If anything happens later, it will all be blamed on Jiang Xiaobai.

He believed that Jiang Xiaobai should be aware of this.

unless……

Li Bingzhang's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at Jiang Xiaobai, his expression earnest. "Could it be... that you, my dear son-in-law, already have a plan?"

Tang Ningshuang also looked at Jiang Xiaobai with curiosity.

"No, not at the moment!"

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head and said, "But if I think about it for two days, I should be able to figure it out!"

Yes, he really doesn't have any good solutions right now.

Qi is relatively easy to deal with, but getting Bei Yu to leave satisfied will not be simple.

But he believed in one thing.

There is no road in this world that is completely impassable.

Where there's a will, there's a way!

"Why!"

Seeing Jiang Xiaobai's reaction, Li Bingzhang could only shake his head: "For now, we can only take it one step at a time!"

"Hehe, Father-in-law, don't worry, there's still half a month left, no rush!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled slightly, showing a rather open-minded attitude.

Soon, the three arrived outside the imperial court.

But as soon as he stepped out, Jiang Xiaobai noticed something.

Not far ahead, a palace maid was standing, constantly looking at the officials who had come out.

As soon as the three of them came out, the palace maid's gaze quickly fell on them, and her eyes visibly brightened.

Ok?

Looking for them?

As Jiang Xiaobai was still wondering, the palace maid walked up.

"I don't know..."

The palace maid gave Jiang Xiaobai a slight bow and said, "Is this Prince Jiang, Lord Jiang?!"
