"Justice? Have you seen what I'm wearing? This is justice!" Zheng Gang pointed at the uniform on his body that represented the city guards and said to Chu Fan with a sneer on his face.

Chu Fan himself had not expected that such an ugly incident of collusion between wealthy businessmen and soldiers would occur on the outskirts of the imperial city.

Chu Fan frowned and asked, "You are acting so recklessly, aren't you afraid that the court will hold you accountable for your crimes?"

Zheng Gang and the three young masters smiled at each other. Would they be afraid that the court would hold them accountable for their crimes?

The leader of the three young men spoke arrogantly, "Boy, you must understand that the successful construction of Kaifeng City's three citadels is due to our indelible contributions. If it weren't for us, how could those lowly disaster victims have the opportunity to live in such fine houses?"

His words were full of arrogance and conceit, as if they were the saviors of all the victims.

Chu Fan's expression immediately turned serious when he heard this. He clearly remembered that in the memorial submitted by Chang Sun Dechong to the court, there was no mention of any noble family providing support to help them build the three acropolises.

However, the three dandies standing before him actually claimed that the successful construction of the three Acropolis was all their own credit. This made him very confused and angry because it was obviously very different from what he knew.

At this time, Changsun Pinqing leaned close to Chu Fan's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Those three acropolises were actually built by my father himself, organized by the disaster victims. We have never accepted funding from any aristocratic families. The three of them are just boasting and talking big."

Seeing that Chu Fan didn't seem to believe it, Zheng Gang of the City Guard said, "These three young masters are now the most powerful people in Zhonghua City. How dare you provoke them? You are so audacious! You are as bold as a tiger."

Chu Fan's anger burned like a raging fire when he heard the city guards' words. He had never imagined that in the land of Wei, there would be such opportunistic soldiers with no sense of justice.

Chu Fan pointed at the bodies in the pit and angrily questioned Zheng Gang, "Are you just going to turn a blind eye to those three people's murder and corpse disposal?"

When Zheng Gang arrived at the scene and saw the bodies buried in the pit, he immediately understood the truth. This was not the first time these three dandy boys had committed such evil deeds in Zhonghua City; they always acted with impunity.

Whenever Zheng Gang helped these three playboys deal with the aftermath, they would give him generous gifts. This is why Zheng Gang would spare no effort to help these three playboys.

Zheng Gang's gaze lingered on the corpse for a moment before he turned around with a cold and resolute expression on his face. He said harshly to Chu Fan:

"It's really unexpected. I didn't expect you to dare to commit such a serious crime, killing someone and abandoning the body. You look so honest, but I didn't expect you to be so dark inside, doing such a heinous thing. Someone, come and capture him for me!"

As Zheng Gang finished speaking, the two city guards nearby sprang into action, preparing to capture Chu Fan. Meanwhile, the three dandies clapped their hands in glee, expressing great interest and satisfaction at the scene.

Before Chu Fan could make a move, the three city guards were quickly subdued by Mu Xi, Tang Ji and a eunuch beside Chu Fan.

Zheng Gang laughed wildly and said, "Well, you actually dare to resist the law with violence? Boy, your sin is truly great."

Chu Fan retorted angrily, "You, the City Guard, can act so recklessly and arbitrarily frame others? We saw them kill people and dump the bodies with our own eyes, and we reported them, but you didn't even conduct any investigation and directly accused us of killing people and dumping the bodies. Is this how you, the City Guard, protect the people in the city?"

Zheng Gang showed extreme contempt and disdain for Chu Fan's words. A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and sparks of anger flashed in his eyes.

He retorted bluntly, "You brat, you really don't know your place. Who do you think you are? How dare you accuse us, the city guards?"

Zheng Gang's voice was filled with anger, as if he wanted to completely crush Chu Fan's doubts. He looked around, trying to use the authority of the city guards to suppress Chu Fan's doubts. He also wanted to get the city guards to help him subdue Chu Fan and others.

Zheng Gang continued, "Our city guards were appointed by the city lord himself, and are responsible for maintaining order in the city. What qualifications do you, a commoner like you, have to make irresponsible remarks?"

As soon as he finished speaking, some city guards who were patrolling nearby saw what was happening to Zheng Gang and rushed over. As soon as these city guards appeared, they started to make a fuss, and the atmosphere suddenly became more tense.

Chu Fan, however, was not afraid. He looked Zheng Gang in the face with determination and said without flinching, "No matter how powerful you are, can it ever be greater than His Majesty's? The laws of the land will not remain silent because of your power."

Zheng Gang smiled and replied, "Boy, you're still too young. Why would His Majesty care about such trivial matters? As long as we are thorough enough, not only His Majesty, but even the City Lord won't notice anything. How dare you mention the law to me now?"

Then, more and more city guards gathered around Chu Fan. They didn't ask for the truth of the matter, nor did they distinguish right from wrong. The moment they saw Zheng Gang, Li Ming, and Wang Yong being captured by Mu Xi and others, they became hostile to Chu Fan and the others.

Zhang Sun Dechong, who was watching silently from the side, was filled with pain and helplessness. He could no longer suppress his anger and wanted to rush forward and slap Zheng Gang hard to shut up his chattering mouth. However, Eunuch Li held him down tightly with his hands, making him unable to move, not even a step forward.

Chang Sun Dechong watched helplessly as the city guards surrounded Chu Fan and the others, his heart filled with anxiety. Chang Sun Dechong was not only worried about his daughter and the emperor. He also knew that his future and official career had been reduced to ashes at this moment.

Eunuch Li reacted quickly, sending his men back to the palace at full speed to summon the eunuchs and maids to come out of the palace for a rescue. After all, Chu Fan's intuition had always been accurate. The eunuchs and maids in the palace were the most loyal force carefully trained by the royal family to protect the emperor.

Watching Eunuch Li's methodical deployment, Changsun Dechong knew that his fate was irreversible. Even with his two daughters by his side, it couldn't change this cruel reality. His heart was filled with despair, as if he had already seen the tragic end of his future.
