Chapter 189

~5 min read 902 words

"Jia Hui, you are but a mere Viscount!"

"Since when can the Five Cities Military Commission be arrogant and act wantonly in the homes of our powerful nobles?"

"This is the Duke of Li's mansion!"

"Get out immediately!"

Liu Fang's implication was

That their family was a Duke's mansion.

Jia Hui was a mere Viscount, and only from the Military Commission!

Neither identity qualified him to handle cases in their Duke's mansion!

This was using power to suppress people!

Seeing him like this,

Wu Siyue scolded: "I am the Moon Flower Lord of the Inner Guard; we are here on imperial orders to assist Commandant Jia in handling the case; Viscount Liu, please don't make a mistake!"

The more Liu Fang resisted,

The more it deepened the suspicion of Wu Siyue and Wu Youjue.

Learning that the other party was from the Inner Guard,

Liu Fang changed color immediately, but still braced himself and said: "You have no imperial decree!"

Although he believed his family had no problems,

News had come.

The Ningguo Prefecture and the Jingtian Marquis mansion had both had incidents!

Both were of the founding lineage.

This made him feel deep malice and conspiracy!

Therefore, he could never just surrender!

Hearing Liu Fang's words,

Wu Siyue frowned.

She looked at Jia Hui.

And Jia Hui looked coldly at this Liu Fang.

Among the Eight Dukes, besides the Ningguo Prefecture, the Liu family offended him the most.

Because back then, people from the Liu family wanted Jia Hui to die in the military camp.

Jia Hui got rid of Liu Kai in retaliation.

Because of this, there was no possibility of reconciliation between the two sides.

It was either you die or I live!

So while others could be spared,

This Liu Fang's family should go down and accompany Liu Kai!

The whole family reunited!

"He is stalling."

Suddenly, Wu Youjue in the sedan chair spoke.

Jia Hui and Wu Siyue were startled at first.

"Why stall?"

But as soon as the words fell,

After the two looked at each other, they understood!

The Retired Emperor!

Jia Hui thought to himself, as expected of the number one villain in the whole show; his IQ is high!

At this time, the Retired Emperor had indeed received the news.

Attempting to intervene in this matter.

After all, the Four Kings and Eight Dukes lineage was loyal to him.

The Retired Emperor, who was reluctant to let go of everything, naturally did not intend to let the Emperor easily take action against them.

The Retired Emperor still thought Jia Hui was instructed by the Emperor!

Because he couldn't sit still, he took action.

This made the Retired Emperor furious.

And in terms of power, the Retired Emperor undoubtedly held the upper hand!

If we use a metaphorical comparison,

The Retired Emperor controlled at least eighty percent of the power!

The Emperor had less than twenty percent!

Therefore, once the Retired Emperor intervened, it would be difficult for Jia Hui to take action!

So Jia Hui's face turned cold.

He intended to force his way in!

Otherwise, if he didn't enter the mansion, how could he "do things"?

"No."

"If there is no imperial decree, and we force our way in, there will be endless impeachments later, and the Retired Emperor will definitely impose punishment!"

At this time, Wu Siyue noticed Jia Hui's expression and guessed his thoughts.

She immediately tried to stop Jia Hui in a panic!

Jia Hui was silent.

He understood Wu Siyue's meaning.

This impeachment, compared to the previous ones,

Was completely different!

A completely different pressure!

The previous impeachments, although involving many powerful nobles,

Did not reach the point of full-court impeachment!

At most, it was a small portion.

Many important officials didn't participate at all.

It was just the Four Kings and Eight Dukes lineage and some censors.

The Four Kings and Eight Dukes lineage were all military nobles.

They had great influence in the military, but had little say in the court!

And Jia Hui grasped the current Emperor Yongshun's psychology of being eager for talent.

However, this time it was different!

If Jia Hui took action, he might provoke the Retired Emperor!

It would be fine if there was no handle.

But once there was a handle, the Retired Emperor, in his fury,

Would probably have most of the civil officials impeach him like crazy!

By then, even Emperor Yongshun wouldn't be able to hold on or protect him!

And Emperor Yongshun could at most be considered a side referee.

The Retired Emperor was the main referee!

Usually, the Retired Emperor didn't speak, so Emperor Yongshun was in charge.

Once the Retired Emperor, the main referee, spoke, Emperor Yongshun had to step aside!

Realizing this,

Looking at Liu Fang, who was truly fearless and arrogant this time,

Killing intent flashed in Jia Hui's eyes: "So what if it's the Retired Emperor? As long as I find evidence, the impeachment will at most demote my title or position; although it will cause me some loss, it is within a controllable range, and getting rid of a major enemy will make the road ahead smoother and better, and I can take the opportunity to make a haul; conversely, the other party will only make you more disgusted."

So Jia Hui intended to order his men to take action.

To beat down and control Liu Fang and the others.
