"The mansion, the mansion..." The servant in black kept gasping for breath, because he was too anxious, which made his face look extremely pale. √

"What's wrong with the mansion?!" When Wan Chong heard the word "Mansion", he was subconsciously shocked. For some reason, he had a bad premonition.

Although he knew that this possibility was extremely small, he still felt that something might have happened in the mansion.

But he really couldn't think of what big things could happen to the good Shangshu Mansion?

After all, this is Yan Jing City, under the feet of the emperor.

At this moment, Fang Zhengzhen, who was sitting leisurely on the horse's back, suddenly showed a surprised expression.

"Huh? Why is there smoke coming out of that location... Wow, it's not that it's on fire, right?" Fang Zhengzhi's voice was full of surprise, and the sound was loud enough.

This made the people around him look into the distance.

"It seems that there is really smoke!"

"How could there be such a big smoke in this blue sky and sunny day? It's really on fire?"

"Wow, look, there is also a fire, it's really on fire!"

The onlookers were a little unbelievable at first, but when they saw the fiery red light rising into the sky, they finally screamed.

At this moment, the servant in black finally recovered after taking a few heavy breaths.

"Master, the mansion...is on fire!"

"What?! Is it because my mansion is on fire?" Wan Chong's expression was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then his face finally changed completely.

Of course, he heard Fang Zhengzhi's surprised expression and words just now. At that moment, he had a bad premonition in his heart.

But……

When you really hear it, this feeling is completely different.

"Yes... Master, please go back quickly. Now the mansion has been surrounded by the Imperial Guard. If you are not faster, you might be..." said Black.

"Imperial Guard?! How could the Imperial Guard arrive at the Shangshu Mansion?" Wan Chong's body trembled.

"It's like that. When the fire broke out in the mansion, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guardian, Bai Qi, happened to pass by, and then summoned the Imperial Guardian to help put out the fire. Later...

"You said Bai Qi called the Imperial Army to help put out the fire? How many people did he call?"

"About five hundred people."

"Five hundred people?" Wan Chong's feet softened and he sat directly on the ground. He finally understood a little, and understood the meaning of Fang Zhengzheng's words, "It's not completely impossible."

The huge Shangshu Mansion is not completely missing if it is occasionally a small fire and a small house.

However, the fire in front of you is obviously not a small fire. Moreover, the current season is spring, not a hot summer, so how could there be such a big fire?

The most important thing is that it is the Shangshu Mansion.

There are countless servants and maids.

How could it be that the fire was so big?

It is obvious that this is a game, a game that has been set up long ago.

Of course, it is impossible for the Shangshu Mansion to catch a fire for no reason. Someone deliberately released the fire. As for the so-called deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, Bai Qi, happened to pass by...

That is something that anyone with a discerning eye can think of.

Wan Chong's hand was trembling, and the "Wanfu topographic map" in his hand felt like he was weighing a thousand pounds. He didn't know why Bai Qi obeyed Fang Zhengzheng.

But he was sure that Bai Qi and the Five Hundred Imperial Guards were probably waiting outside the Shangshu Mansion for a long time.

When the people around him saw Wan Chong sitting on the ground, they all showed sympathy. Natural disasters were so pitiful.

"Sir Shangshu don't have to be too sad or worried. Since the Imperial Guard has arrived and the Imperial Guard is here, you can definitely put out the fire!"

"Yes, the five hundred imperial guards can definitely put out the fire!"

"I burned a little on the mansion and could still be rebuilt. Lord Shangshu will take care of his health."

The people all expressed their consolation.

"Burn, rebuild?" Wan Chong looked at the people around him, and finally laughed at the pair of concerned gazes.

Looking back on his glory in the Taoist examination and his efforts to ascend to the position of Shangshu step by step, his smile was crazy and bitter.

No one understands better than him.

When the Shangshu Mansion was burned, it also means that his life was burned.

He could even imagine the eyes of the people around him when they looked at him a few days later.

At that moment...

These people would also say, Lord Shangshu, can the mansion be rebuilt if it is burned?

His eyes looked into the distance.

On the street in the distance, a group of sergeants in golden armor were running quickly towards him, each holding bright spears in his hands.

"Bai Qi, your movements are really fast enough!" Wan Chong looked at the figure in front of the sergeant, and the chain in his hand loosened and fell to the ground.

it's over.

Wan Chong knew that he had lost.

Now he does have the title of Minister of Justice, but he also understands that when the chain in his hand is put on his straight neck, his title of Minister of the Book will no longer exist.

Because Bai Qi has arrived.

"The Minister of Justice Wan Chong is suspected of three major crimes of sheltering, embezzlement, and private gangsters. Now the evidence is conclusive. Please ask the Minister of Justice to follow us."

"The responsibility of Deputy General Bai should be to guard the palace, right? Why did he even play errands for the Dali Supervision Bureau?" Wan Chong slowly stood up from the ground.

"Because this deputy governor is just right." Bai Qi said calmly.

"Haha... Vice President Bai is really enthusiastic." A sneer appeared on the corner of Wan Chong's mouth.

"Sir Shangshu has been awarded too much!"

"President Bai probably hadn't had time to hand over the things to the Dali Supervisory Institute, right?"

"As for things, you have to hand them over sooner or later. Lord Shangshu doesn't have to worry too much about this."

"Since that's the case, then I am not a criminal now. Can I allow me to go to the mansion to explain something?" Wan Chong nodded and continued.

"No." Bai Qi refused directly.

"Bai Qi, I am a minister after all, and a second-rank official in the court. Now that the crime has not been fulfilled, can you still dare to use force against me?" Wan Chong's face changed slightly.

"Sir Shangshu can give it a try."

"Bai Qi! Very... Very good! Dali Supervision Bureau is right? I'm here by myself!"

"Come on, put a chain on Lord Shangshu." Bai Qi ignored Wan Chong's words, but directly looked at the chain that was falling under Wan Chong's feet.

"Bai Qi, how dare you use chains to trap me?!"

"Yes, Lord Shangshu, do you think there is any problem?"

"I have fought with you!"

"Take it!"

...

Things changed quickly, so fast that the people around and nearly 100 detectives were unable to react. They looked at Wan Chong, who was locked into his shoulders with chains.

They really couldn't understand why the minister of justice became a criminal in the blink of an eye, and it was a criminal arrested by the Imperial Guard himself.

Isn’t it just that the mansion was burned?

What's going on?

Nearly a hundred detectives subconsciously wanted to rescue him, but when they saw Bai Qi's chilled gaze, they finally stopped.

This is not to say that they are afraid of death, but they know that in places like Yanjing City, there are some things that they little constables can intervene.

"Mr. Shangshu was arrested?!"

"What should I do... Fang Zhengzhi?"

"Personal General Bai, the court's repeated offender Fang Zhengzhi is here. Wouldn't you arrest him?"

The people looked at the Imperial Guards wearing golden armor, and then they thought of what Bai Qi said just now and what he said.

"Fang Zhengzheng, where is it?" Bai Qi looked around, looking confused.

"Isn't that the same?" When the people heard Bai Qi's words, they all pointed their fingers and looked leisurely and straight, sitting on the back of the horse.

"Don't talk nonsense! This young master is clearly called Fang Zhengzheng, with a birth document and a man named Chi Hou as a testimony. Are you a fool if you think this deputy governor is a fool?" Bai Qi snorted coldly.

Then he stopped stopping and took Wan Chongyang away, leaving behind a dull face and wide eyes.

"How did Vice President Bai know that his name is Fang Zhengzheng?"

"Yes, Vice President Bai didn't seem to be here just now, right?"

"There is also Chi Hou who is the testimony of Fang Zheng..... Vice President Bai didn't seem to be here either? How did he know?"
