Chapter 120

Impossible, the Emperor cannot discover him.

Zhao Yunlei, the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice, was frozen stiff, not knowing how he had followed Lord Zhang, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, back to the Ministry of Justice.

Unprecedented, important officials from the Ministry of Justice, from top to bottom, had all been summoned to the Ministry of Justice.

The Imperial Guards and officials from the Ministry of War had also been present, filling up all the prison cells at the Ministry of Justice.

"What's going on? Why have we all been summoned so suddenly?"

"So what exactly are those two arrested old men?"

Xiao Yunzhou, dressed in casual attire, entered the prison cells of the Ministry of Justice and cut straight to the chase, "Where are those two elders being held? Take me there."

Lord Zhang, the Minister, frowned.

He had stayed up all night in the imperial study explaining to the Emperor the drawbacks of making arbitrary arrests.

Not only did the Emperor refuse to listen, he escalated the situation even further, demanding to interrogate them personally and mobilizing all the important officials from the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice to come.

This was solely to ensure that everyone knew the Emperor had arrested two people overnight!

Lord Zhang, the Minister, finally sensed a gravitas in the situation.

The Emperor must be hiding something from him!

What could those two elders have been involved in, that the Emperor did not disclose even in the imperial study, yet was of such great importance?

At this point, Zhang Wei took a deep breath and personally led the way, guiding the Emperor into the deepest cells of the Ministry of Justice's prison.

"Your Majesty, since we have no evidence, the Ministry of Justice did not dare mistreat them."

Zhang Wei soon brought Xiao Yunzhou to the location.

When Xiao Yunzhou saw it, he almost fainted.

The Ministry of Justice had actually arranged tables, chairs, and books for these two Elders of the Earth and Moon Sect, and had even placed sumptuous meat dishes in front of them.

These were the masterminds behind the assassination attempt on the Emperor, and yet they were being treated so well!

Zhang Wei cleared his throat lightly and said with a stern expression, "Your Majesty, if we had arrested the wrong people, at least we could explain ourselves to others like this."

Xiao Yunzhou's face turned dark.

The two elders in the prison cell also had drastic changes in their expressions.

When they saw Xiao Yunzhou, heard Zhang Wei address him as the Emperor, and saw that he was unharmed without a single scratch, they were almost dumbfounded.

"How can this be? Have we failed?"

Xiao Yunzhou squinted his eyes and scoffed, looking at the two elders, "Is that what you're thinking in your hearts?"

"!"

"!?"

How could the Emperor know what they were thinking?!

The two elders were utterly shaken.

Impossible.

Jiu Xiao would never betray them.
