"Yu Huatian, what are you doing here?"
"The Emperor is very dissatisfied with your East Branch's ability to handle matters, and has specially ordered my West Branch to assist in the investigation.”
Yu Huatian walked past Cao Zhengchun and looked at the palace maids, guards, and eunuchs who were being tortured in the Punishment Bureau. He revealed a mocking expression."Is this how Eunuch Cao investigated the case?”
"What does it have to do with you, West Branch?”
"What does it have to do with my West Hall?"
Yu Huatian laughed coldly." The Emperor fell into the water by accident. After investigating for a day and a night, you reported to the Emperor that it was an 'accident' or a 'coincidence'. Now, how does Eunuch Cao plan to reply to the Emperor?”
"These palace maids, eunuchs, and guards have all gone through layers of screening. They must be loyal to the emperor to be able to serve the emperor! Even if there were one or two insiders, they would probably be insignificant chess pieces.”
"Eunuch Cao has been interrogating for half a day. I guess many people have died, but there are still no clues, right?”
"You…"
Cao Zhengchun pointed at Yu Huatian, not knowing how to retort.
Yu Huatian's words were not without reason, and his guess was very accurate. In this half a day, other than killing sixteen eunuchs, palace maids, and two imperial guards, he did not obtain any useful clues.
Cao Zhengchun took a deep breath to calm his anger and sneered,""There's no need for you to worry. The East Chamber has many ways to make them speak.”
"Imperial Garden, Brocade Moon Pond."
"Have you checked?"
Yu Huatian's contemptuous gaze pierced Cao Zhengchun's heart. Before he could speak, Yu Huatian continued,"My men found something very interesting in the Brocade Moon Pond.”
Ma Jinliang took a step forward and took out a root wrapped in brocade cloth.
" Qu Yue Xiang, the flower blooms 16 times and has a strange fragrance. It is originally non-toxic but it cannot be mixed with ambergris. Otherwise, the flower will spray out a colorless and odorless powder which is enough to make an unguarded Master faint.”
Yu Huatian waved his hand to signal Ma Jinliang to put away the things. He stepped into the prison cell of the Criminal Prison Bureau and swept his gaze across the eunuchs, guards, and palace maids like lightning. Finally, his gaze landed on three of them.
"You, you, you, come out!"
Ma Jinliang waved his hand. A few guards from the West Military Hall ignored the ugly expressions of Cao Zhengchun and the people from the East Military Hall. They directly went forward and cut off the chains with their sabers, lifting the three of them out.
"Yu Huatian, have you asked me about the person you mentioned?”
Cao Zhengchun's eyes flashed with coldness and killing intent. Yu Huatian's words and the fragrance of ambergris from the two palace maids and the eunuch made him immediately guess Yu Huatian's intentions.
"Eunuch Cao shouldn't blame me for sharing your worries, right?”
Yu Huatian was unmoved. He held the imperial edict and the Shang Fang Sword in his hands. Even Cao Zhengchun could forget about taking the three important human traffickers away from him, let alone the threat hidden in a few words.
"What is the West Hall?"
Cao Zhengchun stepped forward and stood between Yu Huatian and the three prisoners. He mocked,"Your West Hall has been established for less than five years, and you have done nothing in these five years. You have lost the face of the late emperor. What qualifications do you have to share the emperor's worries?”
Bang!
The surging true qi collided with the Tiangang Righteous Qi.
Ma Jinliang and the others from the West Hall, Pi Xiaotian and Fei Ying from the East Hall, were all shocked by the clash between Cao Zhengchun and Yu Huatian.
"Xuan Master?"
Cao Zhengchun's body swayed as he looked at Yu Huatian, who had been forced to leave three foot-deep footprints on the ground. There was not much happiness on his face. Instead, he was even more afraid."I've really underestimated your West Branch!”
"Eunuch Cao's Heavenly Dipper Boy Technique is indeed worthy of its reputation!”
Yu Huatian took a deep breath. It was only a probing exchange, but his zhenqi was already shaken to the point of chaos. One could imagine how big the gap between him and a veteran grandmaster like Cao Zhengchun was.
However, he was going to get those three criminals today.
"You're asking me what the West Hall is?”
"I'll tell you now."
Yu Huatian winked at Ma Jinliang, signaling him to bring the three criminals to the back. At the same time, he signaled Tan Lu Zi, who was holding the imperial edict, and Ji Xueyong, who was holding the Shang Fang Sword, to step forward.
"The cases that the East Branch can't solve will be solved by the West Branch. Also, listen well. I will kill those people that the East Hall doesn't dare to kill, and I will interfere in those things that the East Hall doesn't dare to interfere in. In short, I will manage what the East Military Hall can manage, and I will manage what the East Military Hall can't manage.”
"Act first and report later. The imperial power grants special permission."
"This is the West Hall!"
A confident smile hung on Yu Huatian's lips. He had Tan Lu Zi and Ji Xueyong put away the imperial edict and the Shangfang Sword. He glanced sideways at Cao Zhengchun."Is it clear enough?"
"You…"
Cao Zhengchun was so angry that his entire body was trembling. His 50 years of Tiangang Righteousness almost burst out of his body, but in the end, his rationality suppressed his anger. He waved his hand to stop Fei Ying and Pi Xiaotian, who were about to stop Yu Huatian and the others.
At this moment, no one could clash with Yu Huatian.
With the imperial edict and the Shangfang Sword in his hands, even if Yu Huatian killed Pi Xiaotian and the others, he would have no way of reasoning with the Emperor.
"Governor, why did you let them leave?”
"Yes, Supervisor. Yu Huatian seemed to have found some clues and brought the three criminals away. Wouldn't we be wasting our efforts?"
Cao Zhengchun listened to his subordinate's words and clenched his fists tighter.""I am the Governor of the East Chamber, and I am also the Chief of Rites, the pen-wielding eunuch. He was merely using the imperial edict bestowed by the Emperor and Shang Fangjian to flaunt his power. Just you wait. When this matter is over, I'll settle the score with you!”
Yu Huatian held the imperial edict and Shang Fangjian in his hands. Even if Cao Zhengchun had the guts, he would not dare to touch him.
He could only pinch his nose and admit defeat today.
However, this matter was not over yet.
Over the years, the East Chamber had become more and more powerful under his control. After this matter was over, he had plenty of ways to deal with the West Chamber.
