"I heard that the Gu family is in Yicheng. I'm going to take my anger out on them later!"

One of them narrowed his eyes. The new emperor had already discovered that the Gu family had not paid taxes for a long time, and they had come to question them.

But when they stood at the city gate, they both looked up at the same time. It seemed that the guards had known they were coming and had closed the city gates long ago.

"Hey! If you know what's good for you, open the door right now! You can't afford to lose your heads if you delay the imperial envoy!"

They had thought that this remark would make the other party realize their mistake, but the person who poked their head out looked them up and down for a moment and then said, "Get lost."

"???"

When had the two envoys ever been treated like this? Even if they were the worst in the Surveillance Department, they were still powerful figures who could roam freely in the world. They exchanged a glance, then activated their battle qi and leaped high into the air.

"You're all asking for it!"

But when they took flight, they saw people above pointing strange and unusual objects at them.

"So what if you can jump high?" Wu Dadan's face was full of disdain.

"you...."

In the capital, Fang Congyun sat on the throne with a gloomy expression. For some reason, he kept thinking about the face of his useless older brother, who haunted him like a ghost.

But after searching everywhere, they couldn't find any trace of Fang Zhiyi.

A palace servant rushed in from outside: "Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened! The envoys from the Censorate, they, they..."

Fang Congyun frowned, and with a wave of his hand, the palace servant clutched his neck and collapsed to the ground, his face full of disbelief.

"It's so noisy."

Then he looked at the two people who walked in from behind. One was the inspector he had sent out, but he looked very disheveled and was even missing a hand. The other was someone he had never seen before, and he was covered in dirt.

"Your Majesty! We encountered resistance in Yicheng! Li Wei exploded on the spot and died. I barely managed to escape!"

Fang Congyun's expression grew even uglier. Just as he was about to make a move, the inspector hurriedly said, "But I've found him!" He nudged the filthy man with his remaining hand, "Have you not paid your respects to His Majesty yet!"

The man immediately knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Who are you?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, my name is Gu Xiaojia! I am from the Gu family of Yicheng!"

Fang Congyun was slightly puzzled.

"A man named Fang Zhiyi led those commoners to occupy the Gu family's residence, and even... and locked my father up! I've tried everything I could over the years, but nothing worked. If I hadn't managed to escape through the drainage ditch this time, I'm afraid..." Gu Xiaojia's voice trembled, "Your Majesty, please do justice for my Gu family!"

Fang Congyun simply asked, "Who did you say?"

"I am Gu Xiaojia."

"I'm asking you, who took over the Gu family? Who!" He suddenly became agitated.

Gu Xiaojia was startled and quickly said, "Fang, Fang Zhiyi, I don't know where he came from, I only know his name is Fang Zhiyi, and he does timber business in Yicheng, but later, later they..."

Gu Xiaojia didn't know much; he only knew that Fang Zhiyi and the others had a tool that could counter fighting spirit, called a technology gun.

"They also said, they also said..." Gu Xiaojia looked at Fang Congyun with some fear.

"say what?"

"Saying you've become emperor is utter nonsense!"

The armrests of the dragon throne cracked instantly, and the oppressive aura of the powerful figure swept across the entire room.

"Brother, why did you have to jump out?" Fang Congyun laughed, but his laughter was twisted. "What good are your scheming? Aren't you still a good-for-nothing?"

"Issue the order: muster the troops! I will personally go to Yicheng to quell the rebellion!"
