Cherry Blossom Palace, in a pavilion by the water. The evening light on the stone platform attracted moths.
Princess Duanyang, Ji Wuyi, was eating pastries under the waterside pavilion. The night breeze blew through the garden not far away, carrying with it the fragrance of chrysanthemum.
Beside him, a minor official dressed in green had his hands in his sleeves. He lowered his head and said, "His Highness already knows about that matter."
Ji Wuyi chewed and swallowed before saying slowly, "So what?"
The green-robed petty official thought for a moment and laughed. "That's right, he helped you solve the case at the Wind Cave Manor. You've already returned the favor, even though he might not know it. However, this person is a talent. Aren't you going to win him over for the Crown Prince? "
Ji Wuyi didn't say anything. He just looked meaningfully at the green-clothed minor official.
The blue-clothed official's heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly lowered his head, "This subordinate has spoken too much!"
"I, Ji Wuyi, disdain pleasing people who are more arrogant than me," Ji Wuyi said coldly. "Do you want me to abandon my nature and make friends with you? That's impossible. "
"You think he's very arrogant?" the green-clothed minor official asked.
"Hmph!" Ji Wuyi raised his eyebrows and said, "If he wasn't so arrogant, why would he say that he changed his mind in front of Imperial Brother without even listening to the conditions of persuasion? Jixia Academy could still protect him in the Wind Cave Abode, but not in Tianjing. He's just a student of Jixia Academy, not a disciple of the Court Of Sword. "
"Perhaps someone is willing to protect him," said the green-robed official.
"Who?"
"Young master Wei."
"Tomorrow night is Brother Crown Prince's birthday banquet. I hope the storm will have died down by then. I'll do him one last favor. You can go and submit a post. "
"Here!"
…
"Pa!"
Dragon Sovereign Manor. A resounding slap landed on Liang Wen's face.
Liang Wen was 59 years old this year, and he was at the peak of the Insight Realm. He was the current Palace Master of the Dragon Emperor's Estate in the capital, and he was a rank 3 major official that possessed real authority. He was completely capable of doing as he pleased in the capital, and even the Dragon Emperor's Estate's Chief Palace Master had to bow and flatter him when he saw him.
But now that he was slapped in the face, he didn't even dare to let out a fart. The person who had slapped him was none other than the Divine Arrester who was above all the arresters in the Dragon Emperor's Mansion.
There were hundreds of Prefecture Masters in the entire Sacred Dynasty, but there were only three Super Arresters.
As one of the three Great Super Arresters, the Lone Eagle even had a special office known as the Eagle Sheriff's Office. Apart from himself, the Eagle Sheriff's Office was also a well-organized and powerful government office.
Liang Wen felt wronged, but no matter how wronged he was, he could only kneel on the ground and not make a sound.
When Lone Eagle's expression finally loosened, he said in a trembling voice, "My lord, I don't know what I did wrong …"
"What has the Dragon Emperor Mansion always followed?" Lone Eagle asked.
Liang Wen thought about it carefully and said, "Not a single one of them will be spared?"
"You still remember," Lone Eagle said.
"These are all your teachings, this lowly official dares not forget them. Liang Wen said.
"Then why didn't you know that a vicious criminal had snuck into the capital?" Lone Eagle's eyes suddenly turned cold, as if there were countless knives carrying out the death penalty on Liang Wen.
Liang Wen shuddered and finally realized what was going on. He hurriedly said, "Erm, Yan Li, didn't you say not to touch him for the time being?"
"Yes, I did!" The Lone Eagle said word by word, "But when did I say that you would hide his whereabouts from me? On his way to the capital, no one has mentioned this matter to me. Do I have to wait for him to ride on my head and take a dump before I know of his existence? "
Liang Wen wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, "This, this … this lowly official will go and investigate his whereabouts immediately."
"There's no need for that. Bring some men to Highrise Inn and arrest him for me!" Lone Eagle said coldly.
"About the Second Prince …" Liang Wen hesitated.
"This is the Second Prince's order!" Lone Eagle said coldly.
"Yes!" Only then did Liang Wen understand.
…
The night was exceptionally long.
Highrise Inn was surrounded by a large number of people from the Dragon Emperor Mansion, which frightened the guests. However, after knowing that it had nothing to do with them, they all heaved a sigh of relief and left the inn under the guidance of the constables.
"The two of you can leave." Yan Li said.
Seeing that the Dragon Monarch Manor was already at their doorstep, yet he was still indifferent, Huang Shaoyu was infuriated. He said angrily, "What do you mean? Will you only be happy if we abandon you?"
Yan Li said, "This is a personal grudge. It won't be so easily resolved. Our opponent is not the Jian family, so why are you getting involved?"
At this moment, the sound of footsteps approached them. It was the sound of Liang Wen's boots stepping on the wooden floor.
"Furthermore, I have my own ways to escape."
Since he had put it this way, the two of them had no choice but to leave through the window. Naturally, they were interrogated, but with their status, they could easily leave the inn.
Liang Wen stepped into Yan Li's room with his subordinates. The first thing he saw was Yan Li. Because the room was not big, it was hard not to see where he was sitting.
"You're Yan Li?" He narrowed his eyes and stared at Yan Li. Like a poisonous snake, he sized up the young man who caused him to be slapped by his superior, "This is the first time I've seen a criminal as ostentatious as you. Are you afraid that others won't know that you're a wanted criminal?"
On the way here, he had already understood the whole story.
"Wanted criminal?" Yan Li said indifferently, "Do you have any evidence? According to the wanted poster, I'm a pervert. Then, which girl did I defile? "
"This was personally judged by Lord Lone Eagle. Could the Divine Arrester's judgment be wrong?" Liang Wen waved his hand coldly, "Cut the crap. Since I've personally taken action, if you dare to resist arrest, I'll take your life on the spot!"
This was also a threat, a threat with great strength.
As for Yan Li's "deeds", he did not take it to heart at all. In other words, whether it was Jin Sheng or Gongsun Boyue, he actually did not put them in his eyes.
"You dare?" Yan Li's eyes suddenly became fierce.
"Ha!" Liang Wen could not help but laugh, "He actually said that I, Liang Wen, the Palace Lord of the Heavenly Capital Dragon Imperial Palace, do not dare to arrest a pervert. Do you think it's funny?"
"It's too funny, hahaha!" Even if it was not funny, he had to squeeze out a smile at this moment. Moreover, it was indeed somewhat funny.
The room was not big, and the laughter of these experts, the weakest of whom was at the Impartation Realm, almost caused the roof to shake.
Yan Li slowly took out an item from his bosom and casually threw it in front of Liang Wen and the others. He shouted sternly, "What is this? Open your dog eyes and take a look!"
One of Liang Wen's subordinates picked it up. It was a small booklet made of yellow paper, and on it, some things were recorded.
After that subordinate saw it, he felt that it was inexplicable and passed it to Liang Wen.
After Liang Wen saw it, his laughter gradually subsided, and his brows furrowed.
