The servant didn't know how to start, "This time it's... yes, yes..."

He hesitated for a while and said nothing.

This made the Duke of Qi even more ashamed.

Just as the volcano was about to erupt, the master rebuked in a deep voice: "Go if I tell you to. No matter what the matter is, the Queen Mother can solve it as long as she knows."

This is how the Qigong Mansion has always done things.

Even if murder or arson is committed, someone can be found to take the blame.

The attendant reluctantly agreed, "Yes, I will go find the Second Master right away."

He bowed and left the hall with a worried look on his face.

Just as he reached the front yard, the gate was suddenly pushed open.

Lord Duan rushed into the mansion with armored soldiers. The scene frightened the servants so much that they stepped back and accidentally fell to the ground.

"Oh no, oh no...!" He got up and crawled back, shouting, "Grandmaster, it's bad!"

The Duke of Qi's face darkened instantly, and he angrily overturned the chessboard, causing the black and white chess pieces to scatter to the ground.

Then he stepped out of the room and scolded him harshly, "Are you cursing me? I told you to go find the Second Master, so why are you running back?!"

The servant opened his mouth, but was too nervous to speak. He could only point outside in horror.

Before the Duke of Qi could figure out what was going on, he heard chaotic footsteps outside.

Suddenly his expression became tense, and the other servants were frightened and stepped aside when they saw the officers and soldiers coming in.

Duke Qi was shocked for a moment, but quickly regained his composure and said seriously, "Master Duan, isn't it a bit excessive to bring so many officers and soldiers into the mansion just because my child made a small mistake?"

"Let me tell you, even though I'm no longer involved in court affairs, you can't just bully me. You're not taking the Empress Dowager and the Emperor seriously."

When mentioning the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, his back straightened a little, and he did not take Lord Duan seriously at all.

I thought that saying this would make Lord Duan feel apprehensive, but Lord Duan just said with a serious expression: "I'm sorry, Lord Qi, this is what His Majesty meant."

As soon as these words were spoken, the air froze instantly.

No one present could believe that this was the emperor's intention.

Duke Qi quickly realized what was happening and chuckled, "Did I hear wrongly? They're arresting everyone in our mansion just because my son made a minor mistake. I don't believe it was the emperor's order."

Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was actually a little flustered inside.

If it weren't for the emperor's personal order, Lord Duan would not have been so blatant.

At the same time, I was very confused. What mistake did Lao Qi make?

Lord Duan didn't want to waste time with him. "We'll know in a moment. The entire Duke's Mansion has been surrounded. Please come in."

Just then, the cries of women and children were heard from the front yard.

The entire mansion was shrouded in shadows, and the atmosphere was oppressive.

Rumble~~

There was a muffled thunder in the sky and the sky became a little dark.

The Duke of Qi felt a little nervous and walked out with heavy steps. The soldiers surrounded them.

Everyone in the front yard, including the servants, was arrested. There were cries and shouts everywhere, and it felt like the sky was falling.

Lord Duan ordered the officers and soldiers, "Don't be too rude, there's no need to hold them back."

Afterwards, the people from the Duke of Qi's Mansion walked out of the mansion under the escort of officers and soldiers. The Jinyiwei surrounded the Duke of Qi's Mansion outside.

The officers and soldiers searched everywhere in the mansion to see if there was anyone hiding, leaving no corner untouched.

There were also people clearing the headcount to see who was missing and bringing them back for interrogation no matter where they were.

The entire mansion was in a mess, as if it had been robbed by bandits.

It is a luxury for anyone to enter the mansion now because it is guarded by the Jinyiwei.

Hundreds of people walked on the street with their heads down, surrounded by soldiers to prevent them from escaping.

Such a movement amazed the people.

The Qi Mansion has a high status in the capital, and has always looked down on people. I never thought that they would be taken away by the officials now.

"Get out of the way! Stop watching!" The soldiers drove away the onlookers.

Duke Qi was already old and had never been so humiliated before. He was very unconvinced and asked, "Master Duan, could you please tell me what the Seventh Brother has done that has necessitated such a fuss?"

Lord Duan said without turning his head, "It's okay to tell you, old man, but you have to be mentally prepared and don't get too excited. The Seventh Master is involved in collusion with the Langya Gang and is maliciously buying up the food supplies."

These words were like a thunderclap, exploding over the head of the Duke of Qi, making his head buzz and his ears tinnitus.

He looked dazed for a moment and his body swayed.

The old man immediately reached out to support him, "Dad, calm down. What he said may not be true. Don't get excited."

Duke Qi's hands were shaking with anger. "How dare he be so bold? Impossible, there must be some misunderstanding..."

This matter is far more serious than his murder and arson. Everyone knows how evil the Langya Gang is.

Jiang Mengli stood under the eaves of the clinic, looking at the huge escort team, and saw the old man Duke Qi at a glance.

I remember Jiang talking about him, saying that his grandfather and this old man were sworn enemies. This old man was a civil servant, and he always felt that he was superior to the official.

He always went against his grandfather in the court.

A-Gump smiled and said, "The Duke of Qi's Mansion has relied on the Queen Mother as their backer and has done many immoral things. This time, they've fallen flat on their face. No one will sympathize with them, only applaud and cheer."

Jiang Mengli smiled and said, "This is called prosperity must decline. No matter how high you climb, don't be too proud. Otherwise, when you fall, no one will catch you, but you will be stepped on."

After listening carefully, Forrest Gump looked as if he had learned something and nodded solemnly, "I have learned your lesson, Master. I will definitely keep your words in mind."
