Chapter 102

The city guard general who was handling this matter brought people to arrest a middle-aged man who was the contact of the First Madam of the Chancellor Lan's family. The Minister of Justice then ordered the soldiers to bring a warrant to arrest the First Madam, her personal guard, and the daughter who were involved in the matter of hiring someone to kill the Prince Cheng's Consort this time. The Minister of Justice received the order from the Emperor, and the eunuchs at his side came to deliver the order in person after the city guard general had sent people to report the situation earlier.

Hundreds of soldiers along with the Minister of Justice who traveled to the Minister of Finance's residence by themselves were met with obstruction by Minister Lan.

“ You won’t let us go and arrest someone for real, Minister Lan. Do you know that I received a direct order from His Majesty to arrest someone and decide the case this time?”
