Chapter 127

The Emperor certainly cannot protect him.

He might even cast him aside as a discarded pawn!

Jia Hui would never do such a foolish thing.

Therefore, Jia Hui treated Xu Xu Xu Lingyi’s words as nothing more than flatulence.

And after Liu Fang had the support of Xia Xia Xia Shouzhong and the other two,

he immediately felt he was back in the game!

He arrogantly shouted, "Where is Jia Hui? Where is Jia Hui?"

"Three quarters of an hour have passed; have you found him yet?"

"If that’s not enough, I’ll give you another hour! But if you still can't find him, hmph! I will certainly impeach you before the Retired Emperor and the Emperor for acting recklessly and harming loyal subjects!"

Before long, they arrived at the backyard.

Seeing them,

Wu Siyue remained relatively calm.

Gao Hui, a young lady of a noble family, had never seen such a scene before!

She was so frightened she was on the verge of tears!

She felt a bit of regret!

Why didn't she listen to Jia Hui and follow him all the way here!

Now look at this!

"Oh no, oh no, what if they mistake me and Jia Hui for accomplices and arrest us?"

Gao Hui was anxious beyond measure.

Yet, even at this moment, Gao Hui had no intention of slipping away alone.

Her beautiful eyes watched Jia Hui, who walked out of a storage room alone, calm and composed in the face of danger!

"But if I am to be imprisoned with him, then that doesn't seem to matter anymore."

She whispered to herself.

No one else heard this.

Wu Siyue, being closer, did hear it.

She looked at this niece of the Virtuous Consort, the eldest daughter of the Gao family.

Finally, she shook her head.

She said nothing.

"Swish!"

Seeing Feng Tang and the others appear with troops,

the ten Bingzhou Wolf Riders,

and Zang Ba, who had already returned, immediately led a portion of his loyal subordinates to draw their weapons!

Seeing this, Xu Xu Xu Lingyi’s confidant Lin Bo and the others subconsciously drew their weapons in tension!

Jia Hui smiled and said, "Put them away. We are all imperial officials working for the court and the country; there is no need to cross swords!"

"Yes!"

Zang Ba and the others immediately sheathed their blades!

Orders were followed strictly!

This scene caught the eyes of Xu Xu Xu Lingyi, Wu Wu Wu Youjue, and the others, and their eyes lit up!

Even Xia Xia Xia Shouzhong and the others couldn't help but secretly praise them as an elite force!

Feng Tang couldn't help but look at this so-called Great Great Great Qian God of War with new eyes!

He had recently heard much of Jia Hui’s ferocity.

He hadn't expected him to be so skilled at leading troops!

His gaze held a hint of appreciation.

But appreciation was one thing; he was extremely dissatisfied with Jia Hui for opposing their founding lineage!

"Jia Hui, how much longer do you intend to make trouble?"

Feng Tang addressed him by his name.

He was an elder, a veteran, and a high-ranking military general.

It was not inappropriate for him to address Jia Hui by name.

Except for Xia Xia Xia Shouzhong and his son Feng Feng Feng Ziying,

Feng Tang and Gao Sheng had both met Jia Hui in the imperial court.

So it was no surprise they recognized him.

Jia Hui feigned confusion: "General Feng, what do you mean by this? What do you mean by 'how much longer do I intend to make trouble'? I am currently handling affairs for the Emperor and the court. Someone is plotting treason, and I am merely doing my duty..."

Gao Sheng: "That sounds nice, but now that you can't find the evidence, we won't let you off lightly!"

Liu Fang gave a sinister smile: "Jia Hui! Let's see how you die now!"

Feng Tang’s gaze was cold, as if he wanted to take action.

To arrest Jia Hui!

Jia Hui said indifferently: "Who said I couldn't find it?"

Liu Fang’s face instantly stiffened!

The momentum of Gao Sheng, Feng Tang, and the others also instantly faltered!

Feng Tang and his son looked at Liu Fang with suspicion.

The order they received from the Retired Emperor was:

The prerequisite for supporting Liu Fang was

to confirm that Liu Fang and the founding lineage were indeed not plotting treason.

Otherwise, if the evidence of the crime was conclusive,

even the Retired Emperor could not keep them!

Because although he did not want the Emperor to seize power,

the Retired Emperor was even less likely to watch his subjects rebel!

No matter what, the Emperor was still his son.

"You're talking nonsense!"

"Jia Hui, you are simply spouting gibberish."

Soon, Liu Fang shouted angrily.

Jia Hui ignored him.

Instead, he looked at Feng Tang and the others: "If I find it, General Feng, do you intend to shield the Liu family?"

Feng Tang’s face was cold: "If you find evidence of his treason, I will be the first to capture him. If he dares to resist, I will be the first to behead him!"

Gao Sheng, wearing purple robes, a high black hat, and sporting a thick, dense black beard reaching his little finger, coughed and said: "As long as there is evidence, as the Minister of the Supreme Court, I will naturally enforce the law impartially and punish him severely!"

After speaking, he snorted and threatened Jia Hui: "But if you can't find it, I will charge you with a major crime!"

"In that case!"

"Then the two of you may proceed!"

"What?"

"Arrest this Liu Fang and his entire family for trial!"

Jia Hui said with a smile.

Liu Fang was furious: "Now that Eunuch Xia, General General General Shenwu, and Magistrate Gao are here in person, you, Jia Hui, still dare to talk nonsense? My lords, stop wasting time with him and take him down at once!"

"Slap!"

A crisp slap rang out!

"Ah!"

"Ouch, ouch, you dare hit me? You dare hit me!"
