Chapter 193

Yuan Chun was strangled to death by his own hands!

The fate of Jia Yuan Chun was the same as that of the May Pomegranate Flower Goddess, Empress Pan Shu of Sun Quan.

She was strangled by him.

Next was the Minister of the Supreme Court, Gao Sheng, a high-ranking official of the regular third rank. This man was arrogant, despotic, and arbitrary; although he held a high position and great power, he was utterly useless and always sent people to muddy the waters, obstructing Gao Bingzhu and Wu Siyue from investigating the case.

Finally, there was the Divine Martial General Feng Tang, a family friend of the Jia Fu and a man deeply trusted by the Retired Emperor, who commanded a significant number of troops.

These three represented the three major pillars of the Retired Emperor: the Inner Court, the civil officials, and the military generals!

At this moment, they had arrived together.

·· 0 Begging for flowers 0 ·········

It was evident how highly the Retired Emperor valued this incident!

Xia Shouzhong, surrounded by eunuchs, arrived on horseback.

He looked at Liu Fang with a face full of smiles.

Yet he remained aloof, acting as if no one else was present.

It was impossible to fathom his true intentions.

He only said to Liu Fang, "The Retired Emperor is already aware of this matter, and he only asks you this: Have you been involved in any treasonous acts?"

"No, no, absolutely not!"

Liu Fang shook his head repeatedly in denial.

Upon hearing this, Xia Shouzhong nodded and then remained silent.

Divine Martial General Feng Tang was clad in full armor and wore a helmet with a red tassel!

With triangular eyes and a goatee, he looked to be in his sixties or seventies, yet his gaze remained piercing and sharp, commanding awe without needing to show anger!

He had come with troops!

........... 0

Approximately three thousand men!

And they were all battle-hardened veterans, elite soldiers!

They were not comparable to the near-ragtag soldiers of the Military Commission!

After Xia Shouzhong finished speaking, he said in a voice like a booming bell: "Hmph, since there is no problem, nephew Liu Fang, set your mind at ease. With us here, no one can do anything to you!"

Minister of the Supreme Court Gao Sheng also loudly declared his stance, pointing at Gu Qianfan standing to the side and reprimanding him: "Release your swords at once! This is the descendant of a Duke; is this someone you can threaten with weapons?"

"Hmph, with me here, don't even think about framing or harming a good man."

Gu Qianfan frowned: "We are acting under the Emperor's orders..."

However, before he could finish his sentence.

Gao Sheng coldly snorted and said: "We are acting under the Retired Emperor's orders to supervise you all!"

Gu Qianfan was left speechless.

The father suppresses the son!

This was the way of the world in ancient times.

Not to mention a Retired Emperor who still held real power.

In front of these three people.

He ultimately had to concede and let everyone let Liu Fang and the others go.

However, he stood guard at the main gate.

As long as they did not flee from here.

Then it did not matter.

Then, Xia Shouzhong and the others were seen walking in swaggeringly!

This made Gu Qianfan feel somewhat anxious in his heart: "I hope the Count of Wushuang and the others can find the evidence of the crime as soon as possible, otherwise, even if they are guilty, there will be no way to deal with them!"

Because they had already seized one Duke's mansion and one Marquis's mansion.

Therefore, his heart was inclined towards Jia Hui.

Liu Fang and the others were also guilty!

He was just afraid that Xia Shouzhong and the others would now intervene to stop Jia Hui and the others from collecting evidence, and then Liu Fang would escape a disaster! Nine.

【134】 Is it impressive to have the Retired Emperor's backing? Slap, I'll hit you regardless! (7)

Inside the Li Guo Gong Fu!

With Xia Shouzhong, Feng Tang, and Gao Sheng arriving together.

As symbols of the Retired Emperor.

They made the situation tense and complicated.

The men from the Military Commission and the Imperial City Guard.

Were in a tense standoff with Feng Tang's men outside.

However, it was clear that the latter held the upper hand!

They were greater in number.

And they were all elite soldiers!

In terms of combat capability.

They were definitely not comparable to these people who were "inspectors" and "intelligence gatherers."

However, this was assuming Jia Hui did not mobilize the Flying Wolf Battalion!

With the strength of hundreds of loyal elites, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, and the Trap Battalion.

Jia Hui did not take these three thousand elite soldiers seriously at all!

If they were ten times stronger.

Perhaps Jia Hui would still be wary.

Xia Shouzhong and the others had arrived.

And the news of them bringing a large army.

Was immediately reported to Jia Hui, Xu Lingyi, and Wu Youjue.

Xu Lingyi frowned and said to Jia Hui: "My troops are all on coastal defense, but Count of Wushuang, you have the Flying Wolf Battalion. Before the Emperor left, he said that you could mobilize the Flying Wolf Battalion to participate in this case."

Jia Hui said indifferently: "No need, after all, this isn't a major battle."

Xu Lingyi nodded.

Indeed, one must be careful about the scale.

Otherwise, it might truly escalate into a military conflict!

In that case, their side would not benefit.

In terms of troops, who had more than the Retired Emperor?

The Great Gan had over a million troops!

The capital and its surroundings alone had around two hundred thousand!

The vast majority of them took orders from the Retired Emperor.

Xu Lingyi's troops had been mobilized to the coast to clear out pirates.

So Jia Hui's Flying Wolf Battalion and the Military Commission.

Were the few troops that could be utilized!

Other parts of the army could usually take orders from the Emperor.

But with the Retired Emperor stepping in.

They could no longer be commanded!

So this was the reason why Jia Hui was authorized to mobilize troops.

However, Jia Hui did not intend to use them.

Things had not reached that point yet.

He certainly had the confidence to easily annihilate Feng Tang's few thousand soldiers.

But he could do nothing against hundreds of thousands of troops.

And if it really blew up.
