Chapter 160: The Imperial Court
The officers from the Supreme Court and the guards from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion were facing each other with swords drawn.
"I am here on official business. If you insist on stopping me, then kill me." The tone of the leading Chief Justice Yuan Zizheng was full of warnings.
"Hahahaha!" Jiang Yunxi's voice came from the carriage.
She took Zhen Zhen's arm, got out of the car, walked to the door of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and said with a smile, "Official business? What official business? Sir Yuan might as well explain the matter clearly. Now that the Duke of Zhenguo is not here, I can take charge."
Yuan Zizheng was naturally not afraid of a female relative.
"Princess, I advise you to be sensible. Today, I will definitely search the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion." Yuan Zizheng naturally had no reason to do so, but he knew who was in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
A person who can influence the rise and fall of the Yuan family.
"I have always been a sensible person." Jiang Yunxi said with a smile.
Yuan Zizheng smiled disdainfully.
"But, it's boring to be like this all the time. Especially, I'm even more upset when someone who's not even worthy of polishing my shoes says this to me." Jiang Yunxi curled the corners of his mouth, "First, the Duke of Zhenguo died in battle, the Meng family was poisoned, and the Wei family was demoted, and then it was your Yuan family's turn to take the top. Speaking of which, this is ranked too far back, I really can't stand it."
"I'm also going to say this today - anyone who forces their way in will die."
Yuan Zizheng's face was not looking good. "Are you going to obstruct the Supreme Court from handling the case? According to the law, I can put you in jail immediately."
"Your Excellency has been unable to explain why, yet you insist on forcing your way in. If we talk about the law, your Excellency should also know that this is a noble mansion of the first class Duke, and now you want to force your way in without any evidence. According to the law, this is also a serious crime. I'm afraid you can't bear the consequences alone." Jiang Yunxi's eyes were sharp.
After hearing this, Zhen Zhen stood up and confronted them, "The Duke of Zhenguo is fighting bravely on the front line, but you took advantage of his absence to look down on him. I wonder what he will think? What will the ministers think at the court meeting tomorrow? No matter who instructed you, in the end, you will be the only one who will be punished."
Jiang Yunxi thought, "After following me and Nan Nan for so many years, Zhen Zhen has at least made some progress."
At this time, Mu Kang also appeared in front of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion with the runners from the Censorate.
He first bowed to Jiang Yunxi, then stood beside her, facing Yuan Zizheng, and smiled, "Master Yuan, this is a big fuss. I thought that since it was a search of the First-Class Duke's Mansion, the Censorate would also be able to exercise supervision. I came here to take a look."
Mu Kang took a step towards Yuan Zizheng and said, "Master Yuan, where are the official documents from the government office?"
Yuan Zizheng's heart trembled, and he secretly complained, "Where is the official document?"
"If there is no official document, I will write a memorial now and submit it to the Censorate to discuss your crime of disrespect." Mu Kang's eyebrows were curved and his face looked kind, but he said the cruelest words.
Yuan Zizheng glared at Mu Kang, then turned to glare at Jiang Yunxi and said unconvincedly, "Let's go."
Seeing that everyone had left, Jiang Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief.
When Mu Kang heard this, he turned around and asked jokingly, "Why, do you still think they can force their way in today?"
"Of course not. I was just thinking that the place is so small, if a fight breaks out, where should I hide?" Jiang Yunxi was also half joking.
Mu Kang chuckled and raised his hand to tie Jiang Yunxi's cloak tightly. "If a fight really breaks out, Zhou Chengke will be squatting in that corner. It will be a good excuse to put them in jail."
Jiang Yunxi glanced at the other corner silently.
Feng Gou noticed Jiang Yunxi's gaze and thought, "I'm...hiding well, right? When did the princess find me?"
"Shouldn't you tell me who is hiding in this mansion?" Mu Kang looked at her, tilting his head slightly.
