Chapter 166: People Are Not Casually Arrested

Zhou Tian also knew that he and Yang Jun were at odds.

And between them, the final outcome still required that one of them be completely taken down.

Zhou Tian certainly did not want to be the one who falls.

So now it is necessary to go all out against Yang Jun.

He has the imperial edict, which is the last chance.

Whether this matter can be accomplished and a resolution formed depends on oneself.

Upon hearing this, Leng Qingyue and Yun Xiyue immediately wanted to support Yang Jun and leave.

If Zhou Tian is allowed to act recklessly and take Yang Jun away.

Then, once thrown into prison, it would be hard to find another opportunity.

After all, in that place Zhou Tian holds the initiative.

The people of the Capital Prefecture stepped forward, wanting to seize someone.

After all, it was announced by the imperial edict, and they also thought it was appropriate.

However, the Prefect of the Capital Prefecture snorted, glared at his own people; although he didn't speak, from the shape of his mouth he seemed to be cursing loudly.

These idiots, they clearly had agreed, just going through the motions, but they really were preparing to arrest Yang Jun?

What kind of person is Yang Jun?

Before, he was a playboy.

But now, he is not the same.

Prince Pingxi has returned, and has become an Imperial Prince.

With this great deity present, who would dare to move against Yang Jun?

Moreover, Yang Jun himself is not lacking either.

After all, others are Prince Consorts; his abilities are even more outstanding and exceptional.

Are these matters something one can easily meddle in?

If slightly inappropriate, the outcome could very well be that we lose everything, even our heads.

The people of the Prefect's Residence of the Capital Prefecture, upon seeing their superiors act this way, also came to understand.

Such matters are not yet for us to be the ones sticking our necks out.

In any case, matters that should be resolved cannot be escaped.

Exactly so, then all of this is simply a matter of course.

"Good, good, very good."

Zhou Tian, seeing this, gritted his teeth.

Being in the officialdom, who wouldn't understand what this sort of thing means?

While speaking, he unconsciously nodded.

"Alright, if you won't go up, I will."

The city guards were also somewhat uneasy; according to regulations, they definitely had to obey Zhou Tian.

After all, Zhou Tian has the imperial edict, and after all he is still their direct superior.

But just as the city guards stepped forward to seize someone, they suddenly all froze in place.

Because behind Yang Jun appeared a burly figure.

This person walked slowly, but each step seemed not to be stepping on the ground, but on them.

Such an aura left them with no daring to step forward to seize someone.

The Majestic Pacifier of Rizhao State, Prince Pingxi, with decades of battlefield achievements, filled him with an awe-inspiring aura.

Just a glance like that could make the people before him utterly lose the courage to resist.

Yang Ye hadn't even spoken yet, but these people were already terrified.

The person previously scolded by Zhou Tian stumbled over, saying: "General, I've brought the Prince."

In that instant, Zhou Tian widened his eyes.

"I told you to invite him!"

Zhou Tian shouted angrily, completely furious.

At that moment, he raised his leg and kicked fiercely.

The one we're supposed to capture is the imperial court's wanted criminal Mo Qingyan, and you've brought this great deity here—what are you doing?

Do you still think the situation isn't chaotic enough? Or fear that these matters aren't troublesome enough?

Zhou Tian was speechless; clearly he was full of confidence today and believed he could handle Yang Jun.

But now, with these people's presence, this matter has become even harder to resolve.

Only by following a certain method can there be a corresponding possibility to resolve all of this.

Yang Ye walked over slowly, and the city guards were so frightened they dared not breathe.

Afraid that if something went wrong, they themselves would be affected.

"Greetings, Prince!"

Although Yang Ye was still some distance away, these people could not withstand the pressure, and they all lowered their heads and knelt.

Everyone's hearts were shocked, and in their voices was complete unease.

Now, with one person kneeling, the others all followed suit and knelt down.

In fact, when facing Yang Ye, these soldiers still felt genuine respect from the heart.

After all, Yang Ye's achievements are plainly evident, something no one can ignore.

Zhou Tian lowered his head slightly, not daring to meet Yang Ye's gaze directly.

But now, this matter cannot possibly be settled like that.

He bowed slightly, and at the same time clasped his fists in salute.

"Your Highness, Zhou Tian has come this time bearing an imperial edict to investigate a case thoroughly."

"Now we have found that Young Master Yang is in league with the real culprit; we need to apprehend both and bring them to justice."

"Zhou Tian also asks for your understanding, Your Highness, since he is acting under imperial orders."

Zhou Tian hurriedly spoke, and in his words he brought out the imperial edict again.

To him, such a thing is simply what should be done.

Only by doing it this way can it be considered a true resolution.

"Is that so? Have you caught the imperial prisoner? If you have evidence, then take my son away."

Yang Ye stood there, his gaze lowering, his face expressionless, speaking in a cold tone.

Zhou Tian's face darkened; hearing these words, it was clear they would have a great impact on him.

In the midst of this, there is clearly considerable trouble.

The existence of such trouble makes it impossible to deal with easily.

"We haven't found any evidence yet..."

Zhou Tian furrowed his brows, his words stumbling.

"You haven't found anything, yet you accuse my son of being an accomplice? Your conduct seems rather arbitrary."

Yang Ye's tone remained indifferent.

Yet here, Zhou Tian felt as if tens of thousands of troops were advancing upon him.

Such overwhelming might made him deeply uneasy.

"Your Highness, Zhou Tian merely wishes to ask Young Master Yang to return and assist in the investigation."

"After all, it is the imperial edict's command, and it is his duty."

Zhou Tian felt embarrassed, yet unwilling to give up.

"Well, you can go ahead and try to take him."

A cold glint flashed in Yang Ye's eyes, and Zhou Tian stood frozen in place.

In this matter, he merely wanted to rely on the imperial edict as authority, but Prince Pingxi simply would not accept that.

Moreover, Prince Pingxi's strength is something he cannot withstand.

Perhaps, aside from Emperor Yun Fengyun, no one can deal with him.

To be honest, the imperial edict is useful, but it depends on whom it is directed against.

As for facing Yang Ye, not to mention a single edict—even if his body were wrapped in edicts—if he disdains them, you would have no recourse whatsoever.

Thus, Zhou Tian also understands that for him, resolving this matter is probably not that easy.

"Your Highness, Zhou Tian has disturbed your mansion; I will make amends another day."

Zhou Tian exhaled lightly, and with a sigh, he clasped his hands, indicating that his only recourse was to leave.
