Chapter 3840: The Patriarch (6)

Of course, Princess Rao knew what her brother wanted to show her.

She wouldnt come, but she would be furious.

Report to the authorities! Huyan Yichen said coldly. After what they did to our shop, we cant pretend that nothing has happened! Do you think Im that easy to bully? After what she did to me back then, I wont stand for this! The prince didnt stop him.

Hence, Huyan Yichen went to the Punishment Office and banged on the drum.

The Punishment Office was the judicial department of the empire and was in charge of all the officials of the imperial court and the imperial family. Huyan Yichen had determined that it was Princess Raos doing, so he came here directly.

The Punishment Office was having a peaceful time.

The imperial court had been peaceful recently, and the head of the office had been trying to have a son to inherit the family business.

Just then, a servant came to report that the young master of a shop had come to complain.

The office head frowned. Its just a small shop. Why are you so nervous? Get out!

But but thats Petty Shop

Petty Shop? Do you mean THAT Petty Shop? Master Huyans shop?!

Yes

Why didnt you say so earlier?!

The office head put on his clothes.

Apart from being a master refiner, Master Huyan was also a member of the royal family!

He also had a t.i.tle, which was quite prominent, although the old man himself never paid much attention to it.

When the officer saw Huyan Yichen sitting there, he was even more convinced. The teenager had addressed him as Uncle, which was quite affectionate.

Ahem. The office head cleared his throat. May I ask who you are and what youre here for?

Instead of mentioning Princess Rao, Huyan Yichen feigned a teary voice. Uncle, please help us. Someone tried to a.s.sa.s.sinate my grandfather and me in our shop last night. We almost got killed.

a.s.sa.s.sination?!

Northern Yan had always been a safe place. How could someone try to a.s.sa.s.sinate the top weapon refiner of the kingdom?

Are you alright? Hows your grandfather? Master Huyan was the most important figure of the kingdom, and they had to keep him safe!

Recalling what Feng Wu had told him, Huyan Yichen made up his mind to give Princess Rao a hard time. He feigned a teary voice and said, My grandpa is badly injured, and hes lying at home with the bodies of the a.s.sa.s.sins who broke in last night. Sir, please bring us justice.

He didnt need to say more.

Hence, with a wave of his hand, the office head was going to send one of his most capable men to investigate the case. However, after recalling Master Huyans status, he said in a hurry, Ill go myself and pay him a visit while Im at it.

He was furious when he saw the half-collapsed shop. Thats outrageous! Which thief is so heartless? Ill arrest him and punish him!

He had made up his mind that he would make sure that the case was properly investigated, for with how important Master Huyan was to His Majesty, the case would soon reach his ears.

However, when he saw the bodies on the ground

He was baffled.

The dead bodies didnt look like ordinary people.

His most capable subordinate was called Yang Zong, who stared at him in bewilderment and didnt know what to do. The office head gave him a warning glance.

Yang Zong looked distressed..
