Lin Tianlong stood up, holding his forehead and walking around non-stop. Qu Xing beside him was almost dizzy from being dazzled by him. Then he sighed, shook his head and said to Qu Xing:
"Forget it! I want to see what Xu Xiaoyi can do. Qu Xing, continue to observe and report to me anytime if there is any situation. Also, notify Luo Qingcheng to protect Xu Xiaoyi."
"Yes, Your Majesty,"
Qu Xing responded, then left the scene and rushed to Xu Xiaoyi's side, but he secretly muttered in his heart, "Do I need to inform Luo Qingcheng? It goes without saying now, she will protect Xu Xiaoyi, right?"
At this time, Xu Xiaoyi had already asked the people from the Dali Temple to send Murong Feng to the Sky Prison. He stood up and prepared to rush to the next family. He walked to the door in a swagger.
However, he was blocked by a group of officials wearing black hats and red robes. Upon hearing that the head of the family had been arrested, they hurried back, then blocked the door with angry faces, staring at Xu Xiaoyi in front of them.
"Xu Xiaoyi! What gives you the right to arrest our patriarch? You must give us an explanation today, otherwise you will never leave the Murong Mansion!" One of their people roared:
"Ah, ah, are you threatening me? A bunch of ears and noses."
Xu Xiaoyi sneered and kept walking forward. His aura alone scared the other side.
"Who are you scolding? I'm warning you! We are all well-known officials of the imperial court. If you dare to attack us, His Majesty will not let you off easily!"
"There is a road to heaven but you don't take it, and there is no door to hell but you break in. It's really interesting!" Xu Xiaoyi showed a sinister smile, and they were suddenly horrified.
"I now suspect you're here to obstruct my investigation and give the other three great families time to destroy the evidence. Very good, very good. It seems you're all involved in my assassination. Come on! Arrest them all and throw them into the Sky Prison. I'll interrogate them one by one tonight."
[Murong Fu's shocking reward *50]
Murong Fu was stunned when he heard this. Who were they arresting? All these officials? Are you planning a rebellion? That's not how power should be used!
"Son-in-law! You can't arrest people indiscriminately like this. There are more than 20 people here, all of whom are court officials. If you arrest them, and the court delays things, you can't bear the crime!" Murong Fu stepped forward to dissuade him. The main reason was that if something really happened to these 20 people, the Murong family could not afford it!
"It's none of your business. I told you to arrest me, so why are you talking so much nonsense? I'll beat you up too, believe it or not?" Xu Xiaoyi bared his teeth and said to him with an unhappy look on his face:
[Murong Fu's shocking reward *50]
Isn't Xu Xiaoyi really too arrogant? He's so presumptuous! Well, since you're not afraid of death, then wait for His Majesty to blame you! We'll see what you'll do then! Even if you're the prince consort, you can't bear it!
"What are you still standing there for! The prince consort has spoken! Why don't you go and arrest them all!" Murong Fu shouted loudly at his men, as if venting his dissatisfaction.
Xu Xiaoyi glanced at Murong Fu and laughed secretly. "Murong Fu, you idiot, how can I not understand your little thoughts? What a pity, what a pity, I am doing something for His Majesty."
"What! You really want to arrest us! Xu Xiaoyi! You will regret this! You will definitely regret this!" The group of officials were surrounded and taken away one by one, still shouting harsh words.
Over twenty Murong officials who had rushed back to block the entrance were all arrested and imprisoned in the Tianlao (Sky Prison). This news shocked the officials and merchants who hadn't rushed back. "Isn't this son-in-law afraid of death? How dare he abuse his power like this! Quick! Get ready to report him to the court!"
Lin Tianlong was concentrating on writing something at this time. He was thinking about the army's food supply. The harvest this year was not good! The war would squander the national treasury!
Qu Xing appeared beside him at this moment, then leaned forward and said:
"Your Majesty! I have something important to report!"
Lin Tianlong stretched out his hand to stop him, then looked at him!
"Hey! Let me guess, who did Xu Xiaoyi capture again, right?!"
Qu Xing was surprised. He could guess this. He replied:
"Your Majesty is wise! It was Xu Xiaoyi who captured the man."
"Tell me, who did you catch? It must be something extraordinary if he can get you to tell him such an important thing." After saying that, Lin Tianlong picked up the teacup beside him and started drinking.
"Your Majesty, Xu Xiaoyi has arrested all twenty-odd officials from the Murong family who were driven back to demand an explanation, and he said he'll go to the Sky Prison to interrogate them one by one tonight!"
"Puff~" a mouthful of strong tea sprayed all over Qu Xing. Lin Tianlong put down the teacup and said:
"What? More than 20 officials? Arresting one or two is fine, but this is really nonsense!" Lin Tianlong was speechless. Wouldn't this just add to his workload? What the hell was going on with examining each one? What could he possibly find out?
He immediately instructed Qu Xing:
"Go tell Xu Xiaoyi right away and tell him not to take things too far."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Qu Xing immediately disappeared from the spot, while Lin Tianlong instructed the eunuch beside him:
"If someone wants to see me later, just say I'm busy and can't see anyone."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The miserable state of the Murong family spread quickly throughout the entire Ganhuang City Vocational School, and the other three major families were all stunned when they heard the news.
What? The prince consort had arrested the head of the Murong family and over twenty other people? Was Murong Feng really involved in the assassination? As soon as the news broke, the three families immediately mobilized everyone in the mansion to check if any ID badges were hidden anywhere.
Just as Xu Xiaoyi was about to leave, he suddenly felt the urge to urinate. He went to the Murong family's toilet to mark it. When he drew his gun and began to urinate, he was immersed in the pleasant feeling with a look of satisfaction on his face.
"Prince Consort, His Majesty..." Qu Xing suddenly appeared beside him and began to speak the words that His Majesty had instructed him to do.
