1621 Chi Family’s Trouble (1)

This same general was now making trouble with his own family.

It seemed that Chi Family should be the one who did wrong.

Shangguan Yu raised his head and looked at the eunuchs in front of him. "Is it done in the Capital City?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Let's call General Chi and heard what he's about to say," Shangguan Yu said calmly. He looked at Prince Yang Lu beside him. "What do you think, Your Highness?"

Prince Yang Lu's lips twitched when he heard how Shangguan Yu greeted him. He looked at Shangguan Yu and nodded. "That should be the best."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The eunuch went to pick General Chi while the two of them stayed in the main hall.

Emperor Yang Zhou was not here at this time, but many other ministers were here because of some works. Some of them were looking in their direction because it was rare to see the two princes worked together on a case openly.

Prince Yang Lu felt unprecedented pressure when he saw this.

He felt that his half brother was not a good thing. He purposely tossed this complicated matter to the two of them. After all, no matter how they dealt with this matter, it wouldn't be good for them because a lot of people would definitely talk about it.

If it was not done well, their reputation would be implicated.

If it was done well, then it was fine for them.

'How troublesome,' Prince Yang Lu muttered in a low voice. 

Shangguan Yu was calm. He felt that this arrangement made by the Emperor was pretty good for him. After all, he has been quite idle lately and didn't have much work.

As for how this matter would affect him in the future?

Shangguan Yu didn't care.

What he wanted the most for his plan to proceed as planned. And during this time, it was estimated that what he wanted to do was still in process.

Soon, he would be able to finish his arrangement.

It's good.

Drap! Drap! Drap!

General Chi was brought to the Imperial Palace with his uncle and cousins. At this time, his uncle and cousin's face was swollen. Before they came here, they had been beaten by General Chi.

Even if General Chi only has one arm, neither his uncle or his cousin could defeat him. 

Their bodies were weak.

And General Chi was very strong. 

Thus, they ended up being beaten without even being able to do anything.

"Your Highness," General Chi greeted and bowed in accordance to etiquette. It was just that his move looked a bit awkward because one of his arms were missing and the etiquette couldn't be completed fully.

"Your Highness!" His uncle and cousins were terrified and quickly kowtowed on the ground.

For commoners without background like them, they could only kowtow on the ground when they met with someone from the Imperial Family. Even then, this matter was extremely rare.

After all, when would it be possible for them to meet with those from the Imperial Family?

Normally they would not even cross each other's path in the slightest bit.

"I have heard about your deeds, General Chi." Prince Yang Lu nodded at General Chi in return. No matter what, he was still part of the Imperial Family and had the teaching of family engraved deep into his bones. Even if he didn't really want to, he still has to give face to this general who had worked hard for Fei Yang Kingdom.

General Chi kept bowing.

Prince Yang Lu sighed exaggeratedly. "I'm sure you know why we call you to the Imperial Palace this time, General Chi."

"Yes, Your Highness." General Chi kept his posture low. "This one destroyed a building and caused a fuss on the street, which is not a good example for the people."

Prince Yang Lu nodded. "In that case, this prince (Wang Ye) wanted to ask you the reason for your deeds."

"Yes, Your Highness. This general destroyed the building because it has been misused by my family members. The store is an ordinary store on the surface but there are a lot of illegal weapons sold below. This general is angry after hearing about it and decided to destroy it so that no one would be able to get it." General Chi raised his head. 

His expression was calm and not like a person who has been forced to confess on the Imperial Palace. It seemed that General Chi has already planned everything before he came here.

"Nonsense!" General Chi's uncle jumped up in indignation.

Prince Yang Lu passed a displeased gaze and one eunuch immediately stepped forward and pushed General Chi's uncle to bow down once more.

In front of the Imperial Family members, they were not allowed to move unless they were told to.

This man's etiquette education was truly lacking. 

"There are people from the Ministry who had arrived and secured the place. If Your Highness is willing to check, you will be able to confirm this general's words," General Chi continued unhurriedly. 

Prince Yang Lu looked at the few people in front of him and turned to look at Shangguan Yu beside him.

No matter what, if he was forced to be dragged to this muddy water, he hoped that he was not alone. After all, Prince Yang Lu hadn't been actually doing a lot of work in the palace and had limited capability.

In terms of ability, Shangguan Yu was actually better than him.

So he turned to look at Shangguan Yu.

Shangguan Yu saw Prince Yang Lu's gesture and then replied, "Since General Chi had said so, it's only natural for people to trust him. However, as the law enforcement has to be fair, we will still check the shop for confirmation."

General Chi bowed his head and replied, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Prince Yang Lu looked at Shangguan Yu with a complicated look before turning his head back in General Chi's direction. His eyes had already restored his calmness.
