"Your Highness, we absolutely cannot allow Duan Jinjiang to make a big deal out of this right now." Su Zhen'ting, though flustered, quickly regained his composure and immediately grasped the crucial point. He suggested,

Li Chen remained silent, his gaze falling on the three treasures. "How far is it from here to the Detention Center"

Sān Bǎo didn't hesitate for a moment and blurted out, "With all haste, it can be done in half an incense stick of time."

“Immediately bring Duan Jinjiang to this palace.” Li Chen said in a deep voice.

Li Chen turned to Su Zhen Ting and said, "General Su, prepare a quiet room for this palace to handle matters."

"A side room will suffice."

Su Zhen Ting finished speaking, hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "That Duan J Jiang was after all the Minister of War for many years, later promoted to Grand Scholar, Privy Councilor. But within the Ministry of War, his influence runs deep, mostly people he placed there. Even Zhao Xuanji couldn't interfere. Should we ask Pingbei to send a part of the Imperial Guards to Beijing"

Li Chen stopped in his tracks and waved his hand, saying: "No need, Duan Jiangjiang doesn't have the guts."

"One might say a cornered animal will lash out. Duan Jinjiang probably already knows the truth. With Duan Changmian gone, he has nothing to worry about anymore." Su Zhenting advised again.

Li Chen said indifferently, "This palace is at the General's Mansion today. Who dares to lead troops into battle This world still belongs to the Li clan."

Upon hearing this, Su Zhen Ting no longer insisted. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I obey."

When Li Chen arrived at the room, Su Zheting quietly retreated.

He summoned Su Pingbei and said, "Something major has happened in the capital. You must return to Beidaying immediately and await my orders. Once you receive word from me, you are to lead your troops into the city at once."

Su Pingbei only felt goosebumps all over his body. He said in horror, "Bringing troops into the capital Is someone rebelling"

He glared at Su Pingbei, and Su Zhetong hissed, “So flustered Have some decorum! Speak up louder if you must, go shout it on the street for everyone to hear.”

Su Pingbei hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Father, child knows he was wrong."

"Go take care of it." Su Zhen'ting said.

...And at this moment, outside the sinister prison of the East Factory...

The capital city was bustling and lively, but this street was almost deserted. This was because the Imperial Prison was located here. Officials feared it, and commoners considered it unlucky. On ordinary days, only personnel from the East Factory and Jinyiwei (elite guards) would come here to do their duties.

But today, the entrance was quite lively.

Duan Jinjiang stood at the gate of the prison, behind him were more than ten personal guards with piercing eyes, in front of him was a large group of Jinyiwei, both sides facing each other.

Duan Jinjiang's beard and hair were all bristling, his eyes bloodshot, his voice hoarse like a wounded beast. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Today, no one can stop this old man!"

Standing before Duan Jinjiang was the commander of a Jinyiwei unit. With trouble brewing in the Imperial Prison, and the victims arriving at his doorstep, even though orders hadn't come down from above, the usually overbearing Jinyiwei knew better than to offend Duan Jinjiang.

He bowed and said, "Lord Duan, you also know what the Imperial Prison is. The current emperor has decreed that the Ministry of Punishment punishes criminals for the people, and the Imperial Prison punishes officials. Without the emperor's decree or a warrant from the Grand Inquisitor, no one is allowed to enter the Imperial Prison without authorization. This crime, I cannot bear the responsibility. Lord Duan, why make things difficult for me"

Duan Jinjiang grabbed the commander's collar, his eyes filled with tears and hatred. He said in a cold voice: "Either let the old man go in, or bring the old man's son here for him to see with his own eyes, otherwise, today, the old man will definitely storm into the prison!"Chapter 502: Please Help, Lord Advisor
