This sudden change startled Hou Yushu, who was about to pick up her chopsticks.

With a loud clatter, Hou Yushu's chopsticks fell to the ground, making a sharp sound.

Feeling the gazes of the housekeeper and Duan Jinjiang upon her, Hou Yushu at this moment truly wished she could find a crack in the ground to disappear into.

More terrifying, perhaps.

Although he had not yet entered the official ranks, who in the world didn't know of the terror of the Dongchang Who went into its prison never came out again.

The Dongchang actually arrested Duan Changmian and threw him into the imperial prison. This is definitely not an ordinary case, but a political event. Someone is targeting Duan Jincheng.

"Nephew... This old man has some important matters to attend to..."

Hearing the sound of the string, he understood its elegance. Hou Yushu immediately stood up upon hearing this and said with cupped hands, "Thus, Yushu also recalled now. Master is still waiting for Yushu to return and report. Then I shall take my leave first."

After finishing his words, Hou Yushu left. Duan Jinjiang was in a state of turmoil at the moment, with no mind to show off his luxury to Hou Yushu. He simply waved him away.

After waiting for Yu Shu to leave, Duan Jinjiang’s face contorted. The polite smile he had maintained finally vanished, replaced by a cold and furious expression. He gritted his teeth and said: “What happened Tell me everything in detail. Leave out no single detail!”

The steward’s expression turned serious as he bowed and said, “Earlier this morning, young master left alone for the inn. He intended to meet Princess Xian Chaojin... But within just an hour, young master returned with his face covered. The old servant saw that he seemed to have sustained some injuries to his face, but young master’s temperament is strong, and wouldn't allow the old servant to inquire further. He then left with over twenty guards from the house.”

“According to the latest news, Young Master seems to have had a conflict with someone at the inn and suffered some losses, so he came back with people to go to the inn again. However, later on, for some unknown reason, this matter involved the Dongchang, and even Su Pingbei personally led dozens of Yulin guards to surround the inn. It's all Young Master's fault for being too impulsive and directly leading his guards to break into the inn, giving Dongchang and Su Pingbei an excuse to intervene.”

Under Su Pingbei's overwhelming might, the young master had no room to resist and was taken away by the Jinyiwei directly. By the time the news reached us, the young master had already been in prison for half an hour.

Upon hearing this, Duan Jinchang flew into a rage and exclaimed: "This reckless son of mine! Ever since he met the princess from Xianchao, he has been relentlessly trying to get me to intervene, urging me to arrange a meeting between the Xianchao envoy and the crown prince. Now that the court situation is so delicate, with the chief minister refusing to agree, who dares to bring this matter before the crown prince"

“This matter, to put it mildly, concerns the court's attitude towards the conflict with the Xian Dynasty. To put it bluntly, it directly involves the power struggle between the current Chief Minister and the Prince's faction. This reckless son, with how many heads does he dare to meddle in such things! He forgets his own name at the sight of a woman, let him taste some hardship! So that he won't continue this way, acting recklessly and causing a major disaster!”

The butler's face fell, and he whispered, "Master, the young master has gotten into a terrible predicament. The prison of punishments is known for being inescapable. How could the young master withstand such suffering Even if you are angry, Master, you must first save him. We can discipline him at home later."

"Duan Jinjiang gritted his teeth and said, "How could I not know what you're saying It's just that this matter is deeply involved. What we see on the surface now is only a small part of the vast ocean. Underneath this shallow ice, there are unimaginable dangers...I'm afraid they're targeting me!"

"Su Pingbei and Dongchang, who do these people belong to Moreover, the General's Mansion has been keeping a low profile for so many years, but Su Pingbei suddenly rose to prominence and Su Zhen Ting suddenly reappeared, all because of the Crown Prince!"

"Su Pingbei was now the commander of the Northern Camp of the Imperial Guards and, as the deputy commander of the entire Imperial Guard, how could he have suddenly appeared at the station with troops without complete preparation and careful planning"Chapter 897: Old Monk, You Broke Your Vow of Non-Anger
