When the Prefecture Overseer heard that his son had offended Uncle Zhenbei and was being held captive, he hurriedly ran to Gan Zhixuan's mansion to seek an audience with him. However, Gan Zhixuan refused to grant him an audience.

Even though he was an imperial court official, he was still an official of the northern border that gave away the Mysterious Seal. He had to act based on the expression on his face.

In order to weaken the authority of the aristocratic feudal fiefdom in various regions, the current emperor had decreed that the officials of each prefecture would be appointed by the imperial government and the emperor had personally chosen to be conferred a title.

The purpose of this action was only to better control the fiefdom in one's hands, so as to prevent the fiefdom from constantly growing bigger and disobeying the imperial government's wishes.

All the officials above fourth rank in the feudal fiefdom were to be directly appointed or removed by the imperial government or recommended by the noble feudal fiefdom.

The Prefecture Overseer was the emperor of the Great Hengkong Empire. He was a person who was placed under Gan Yuxuan's nose and was always willing to ignore him. He even allowed the Prefecture Overseer to enjoy his power in Shengjing Hall. He did so not because he feared the emperor, but to thoroughly remove the nail that the emperor had planted in the Shengjing Manor.

Shengjing Mansion was an important place in the capital of the Northern Frontier. How could it let others sleep on the side of a bed?

Gan Yuxuan had already wanted to get rid of the Prefecture Overseer long ago, but he had tolerated him to this day due to various reasons.

After the Blood Sword Sect people reported what had happened, they gave a cold smile. They knew that today was the day they could pull out the nail.

"Blue Luan."

"Master, please give your instructions."

"All the evidence collected today, as well as evidence and witnesses, prepare them for me."

"Yes, your subordinate understands."

The Blue Luan replied with a joyful expression. It knew that its lord was going to completely remove the tumor that the imperial government had planted in the Shengjing Hall today.

"Prepare all the evidence for the officials who are always disobedient and colluded with the Prefecture Overseer."

"Yes, this subordinate will do it immediately!"

Outside the gates of the general's manor stood the prefect of the palace, waiting for Gan Yuxuan's summons. There were also the servants in the residence. They were not far away or far away, constantly watching and asking for news.

The young master of the Prefecture Overseer had openly offended the young uncles on the streets. The news of him teasing the young unruly had spread like wildfire to many places in Shengjing Palace. In particular, the officials from all over the city were quick to receive the news.

These people could not help but shake their heads. Not to mention what their lord meant, just based on this uncle's recent sacred favors and the emperor's decree, this governor was going to be in for a drink.

Everyone's gazes were on the general's residence, curious to see how their lord would react to this matter. They all wanted to see from this matter the attitude of Gan Yuxuan towards Helian Qingyu.

The Prefecture Overseer had been waiting at the general's manor for more than two hours, but he had not received any summons from Jia Yu Xuan. However, he could see that there were countless pawns and plaintiffs being received by the servants set up in front of the General's manor.

These people, who had been bullied by the Prefecture Overseer and the wastrel young master, had come to the general's mansion to complain and deliver a written complaint. Helian Manqiu's words quickly spread throughout half of Shengjing City. Countless people rushed over.

After seeking an audience with his son for so many times, he was eventually rejected. The Prefecture Overseer was completely flustered and resented that he had neglected to discipline his son. He had been too indulgent, leading to his loss today.

He really wanted to order his men to stop those civilians from sending more complaints, but outside Gan Yuxuan's mansion, no matter how bold he was, he wouldn't dare to do such a thing so brazenly.

"Milord, little uncle is currently drinking in the restaurant and entertaining guests, so the youths are unable to approach him."

The Prefecture Overseer's face was gloomy. He raised his head to take a look at the general's manor. The Lord was unwilling to grant him such an opportunity, so what could he do?

"Lord, something bad happened! The manor has been sealed …"

"Milord, everyone in the manor is being held captive …"

Hearing this, the Prefecture Overseer's face turned pale with fright. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, someone came out and stared at him coldly, "The Lord has ordered you to meet him immediately."

The Prefecture Overseer's heart was filled with despair. He knew that it was impossible for him to escape today, and the Lord would definitely take him on!

He helplessly walked towards the general's manor as he calculated in his heart what he should do to avoid being heavily punished.

"Young General, the Prefecture Overseer's family has been sealed. The families of the Prefecture Overseer and many other officials have been sealed. Officials and their families have been imprisoned."

Someone replied in a low voice from outside. Helian Manqiu laughed, "His movements are really fast."

"Uncle, please go back and carefully think about what this official has said. I don't know if you have any news or words, how will you pass them on to me?"

"You can just send it to this uncle's camp. You can give it to my subordinates or to my personal guards."

"Yes, Young Master, please. This official is very pleased to see you out."

Helian Manqiu stood up and walked out of the restaurant. She didn't want the first big fish she caught today to belong to the old demoness and the crown prince. Was the real owner of this He Yutang an old man or an old demoness?

"Brother, who is He Yutang working for?"

She asked the blood sword before continuing, "Of course it's the empress and the crown prince's men. This person was personally promoted by the empress in the first place."

"So that's how it is. This old demoness is getting impatient."

She even wanted to publicly order her to send Helian Qing to the capital. She also thought of summoning her to the capital to report on her duty and show her gratitude, using this opportunity to control Helian Qingyu and her.

Jingbei …

Helian Manqiu raised her head in thought. She didn't need the old man and the old demoness's secret assistance. If she was willing, she could give Jing Bei to her at any time. If that thick-skinned man was unwilling, even with an imperial edict and the support of the imperial government, it would be extremely difficult for her to subdue the land of Jing Bei.

In the end, the master of the Northern Frontier was the Emperor, not the Emperor.

The heavens were high and the emperor was far away. The northern border had gradually expanded over the past few years, and there was even a faint feeling of leaving the imperial government. It was as if an autonomous feudal fiefdom had been secretly formed.

If not for this, the old geezers in the capital would not have been in such a hurry to help her up in the northern border. She was just a useful chess piece. Because of her talent, she had become a god of war and a schemer. Now, she had become a chess piece that the royal family was willing to cultivate and use in the north.

With a sneer, she did not have the slightest intention to repay the government, nor did she have the slightest intention to work for the old man.

When the Prefecture Overseer entered the general's manor, he did not see Gan Yuxuan at all. He was immediately seized and escorted to the dungeon.

The sky of Shengjing Hall darkened with the darkness of the night. The generals were swift and decisive as they followed the Prefecture Overseer to lock up the mansion. There were a few officials who had been detained.

The news continuously reached Helian Manqiu's ears. A trace of an immoral smile formed on her lips. That man wanted to use her name to thoroughly wipe out Shengjing City.

"My lord, I have done my best to clear out the Shengjing Palace."

"You are willing to do so, don't even think of making sarcastic remarks in front of me."

Bloodsword laughed and said, then whispered in Helian Manqiu's ear, "Tell me, why do you think my Lord has been tolerating until now? Only now would he be willing to make a move? If you want to get rid of this person, why would it take so much effort?

Helian Manqiu facepalmed. What did that man take a fancy to the blood sword? He wanted to use this brainless man to become the leader of the hidden guards?

"Big brother, you're so smart."

"Cut the crap. I know you're mocking me. Tell me clearly, good brother."

"Big brother, can I trouble you to think about what you want to do next time?" Big brother, can I trouble you to think about what to do next time? The Prefecture Overseer was an official ordered by the imperial government. If he died in the Shengjing Hall for no reason, how could his lordship escape suspicion? Of course, he had to be righteously punished. If the crime was too light, it wouldn't be enough to get rid of the root. The Lord has indulged the Prefecture Overseer for such a long time, do you really not know what the Lord has done? "

Patting the blood sword's shoulder, Helian Manqiu said sincerely, "I coincidentally encountered today's incident. Using my name, he can stay out of this matter and push it all onto my shoulders. I was the one who made the old fellow grit his teeth over such a offending matter. Brother, can't you learn a little bit? After following the Lord for so many years, how can you still maintain your purity? "

Suddenly, Helian Manqiu began to laugh. The blood sword had been by Gan Yuxuan's side for many years, but it was rare for him to retain such a simple mind. Why would she be depressed over this?

"So that's how it is. When I'm with you recently, sooner or later I'll be dyed black by you!"

"Haha …"

Helian Manqiu reached out her hand to pat the shoulder of the blood sword twice. She jumped onto the horse and urged it to return to the manor. In the restaurant, when He Yutian saw this scene, his eyes turned dark. It was only at this moment that he saw the temperament of a young man in this young uncle's body.

After returning to the manor, she directly entered Gan Jianxuan's room and threw herself onto his bed. She was too lazy to ask that yamen runner what was going to happen to him, as her role was only to stir up the issue, expand it, and let Gan Jianxuan take this opportunity to deal with it.

"Uncle, this lowly one has been ordered to send an official document to you for your approval."

A sentence came from outside the door, causing Helian Manqiu to have the impulse to jump up and go berserk. Didn't he say that he would give her a day of vacation?

Why did that vile man throw the official order at her without even eating dinner?

"What official business?"

"Reporting to Uncle, this is the military state and Jing Bei's official business. My lord said that this should have been Uncle's responsibility. He ordered me to send this over and ask for Uncle's approval."

Give her a day off and don't bother her with official military information. In the end, she used such a method to borrow the name of Jing Bei as the emissary of economy, piling up Jing Bei and the military state's official duties with her.

"Bring it in."

She hasn't had dinner yet, has she?

The people outside brought in their official duty and placed it on the bedside of Helian Manqiu's desk. "Lord has spoken. You must familiarize yourself with the affairs of Jing Bei as soon as possible, so as to not let the Lord trouble you."

Clenching her teeth, Helian Manqiu suddenly remembered what He Yutang had said today. He Yutang had just told her to subdue Jing Bei as soon as possible and leave Jing Bei's matters to her as soon as possible. Should she probe?
