五十六 Awakening of forces

The arrest of the first prince made headlines, dozens of guards were sent to guard the first prince's estate; in this way, Fu Jun Long has been house arrested which made those that are pm the same boat as he rushed like fried ants on a pot. Several officials that collided into the massacre of tribe Ji'an were found guilty and were soon deployed into the cold north while the others were killed on sight.

Minister of Justice, Tu Yi Guan supervises along with the assistance of Fu Jun Zhong, the second prince and his confidante Sima Guo Ting.

The sudden arrest of the first prince, Fu Jun Long, rang loudly to those of high power; now everyone knew that the first prince is damned and is no longer eligible to legally fight for the throne. Marquis Ji'an has long cut off a father and daughter relationship with his child and future grandchild to appease those that are asking for vengeance.

"I have to trouble Minister Tu on my house affairs, it really disgraced me. This prince hopes to settle the matter early on with my elder brother, hoping that the officers would grant my wish"

Fu Jun Bei didn't mask the shame on his tone and made those officers redden in pride. They haven't yet experienced being treated so politely by those that were higher in status than them and it was a royal prince that did so which made them more enthusiastic inside even more.

"Your highness shall not worry, those of guilty heart would show naturally" Tu Yi Guan states, his narrow eyes waned those under him.

It didn't take too long for the moles that the first prince added to the third prince's estate to show up. Maids of unknown origins, servants with martial arts foundations have been sent to prison to be extracted with information regarding their status.

"Hope that Minister Tu and the devoted officers stay behind just for a light snack to ease up your stomachs"

The rumored beloved wife of the third prince, Meng Jia Yi, appeared in their very eyes and they were all soon shocked at her beauty. Gentle and amicable, polite yet unrestrained- she compliments the third prince, Fu Jun Bei very well that they all sigh in their hearts.

"Your highness is too polite" Minister Tu stated, the officers behind him were also timid after experiencing such warm welcome towards them.

"No need to be too polite then, help yourself" the smile of Meng Jia Yi seems to burn in their mind and made their ears flush in heat.

Dozens of servants came to the garden to send tea and bite-sized snacks; several lunchboxes were also placed into their space as the officers ramble in gratitude. They have never been treated this way, it seems like all those of high status always give them the feeling that they are only valuable that's why they stick their hot faces into their cold, stern masks.

"The third prince and her highness are truly the mass prince's and princess!"

"See? They even brought back lunch boxes for us to eat! That vulgar money can't compare to such detailed attention!"

"They're not arrogant at all, even the maids were polite and nice to us!"

Tu Yi Guan watched in cold glaze the batch of recruited officers, they were easily satiated with those 'vulgar' money yet still pretends to be thinking for the people. Hypocritic, he sneers inside before galloping into the street.

He does admire the knowledge that Fu Jun Bei presented to his underlings, knowing that money can't always buy a people's heart he (Fu Jun Bei) proceeds to sway their hearts into him. Digging his corner and allowing him to see how benevolent the third prince is why also letting him see an Emperor that would care for the people's lives.
