Chapter 118: The Summoning
“Yuan Zheng, yet you have summoned everyone from the princess’s residence.”
Yuan Zheng didn't know Gan Luo's intentions, but he still did as Gan Luo said.
Lin Fengmian looked at Gan Luo with some concern.
"Your Highness, are you going to arrest the Minister of Revenue today?"
Gan Luo turned his head and glanced at Lin Fengmian.
"If this person is not arrested, there will be endless trouble in the future."
Hearing Gan Luo's words, Lin Fengmian felt that they made sense.
However, they currently have no evidence.
If we act rashly like this, how will we explain it to the outside world?
"I don't need to consider anyone's opinion when I do things."
Given Gan Luo's status and position, who would dare to challenge him?
Lin Fengmian was stunned by Gan Luo's appearance at that moment, never expecting Gan Luo to be so dashing.
Meanwhile, in the Prince Yu's residence, Xin Ruyu learned that Gan Luo had returned.
He hurriedly arrived outside the princess's residence.
I knocked on the door, but no one answered.
Xin Ruyu's face turned ugly, and then he climbed inside.
At this moment, Xin Ruyu saw Gan Luo and summoned the guards in the princess's residence.
"Your Highness has gathered so many people, are you perhaps going to arrest someone?"
"What I do has nothing to do with you."
When Gan Luo turned around, he unexpectedly saw Xin Ruyu.
Seeing Xin Ruyu's irritating appearance, Gan Luo simply ignored him.
Gan Luo then offered Xin Ruyu a word of advice.
"If you ever enter the princess's residence without permission again, you'll be lucky to escape sideways."
Gan Luo did not give Xin Ruyu a friendly look.
Xin Ruyu knew at that moment that Gan Luo was there, and he was very unhappy.
He also knew the consequences of offending Gan Luo.
"Your Highness is absolutely right."
Xin Ruyu apologized to Gan Luo here.
"If Your Highness has nothing else to do, you may return now."
After that, Xin Ruyu naturally left.
Gan Luo, accompanied by his guards, once again arrived at the location of the National Protection Army.
They ordered another 500 men here.
This move left Yuan Zheng at a loss.
"Your Highness, why do you need so many people now? What are you going to do with them?"
Upon hearing Yuan Zheng's words, Gan Luo made a shushing gesture.
They eventually arrived at a place, which was naturally outside the residence of the Minister of Revenue.
Gan Luo gave the order.
The surrounding people naturally surrounded the residence of the Minister of Revenue.
The housekeeper heard the commotion outside and opened the door.
No one expected that Gan Luo would bring so many men with him.
More importantly, Gan Luo will surround this place.
The butler rushed to the study to report the matter.
The Minister of Revenue dropped his pen upon hearing this.
No wonder his eyes kept twitching today.
Unexpectedly, Gan Luo had already arrived here.
Now that Gan Luo has arrived here, what should he do next?
I suddenly saw these letters here.
The Minister of Revenue then burned these letters.
Gan Luo had already pushed open the door and walked inside, looking around.
Yan Ruyu was extremely arrogant when he saw Gan Luo arrive.
"Your Highness, don't you feel it's inappropriate to trespass on private property?"
After speaking, he planned to have the maidservant kick Gan Luo out.
Unexpectedly, the maid stood there motionless, not daring to move an inch.
Isn't our young lady far too audacious? This is the current eldest princess.
The eldest princess's status was above theirs.
If they did such a thing nowadays, and Her Highness the Princess were angry, they would probably lose their lives.
Gan Luo waved his hand, and the guards behind him immediately grabbed Yan Ruyu.
The Minister of Revenue arrived outside at this moment and saw Gan Luo.
"I wonder what brings Your Highness, Princess, to this grand occasion?"
"Does the Minister himself not know why I did this?"
The Minister of Revenue pretended to know nothing and questioned Gan Luo.
Lin Fengmian became more vigilant, after all, the person in front of him wanted to kill Gan Luo, and Lin Fengmian would never give him any chance.
"Since that's the case, then I'll just say it directly. You abused your power and even privately trained assassins. This so-called Assassination Pavilion also belongs to you, right?"
The Minister of Revenue was shocked by Gan Luo at that moment. He did not expect that Gan Luo knew everything. He had hidden it so well, so how did Gan Luo know that the Assassination Pavilion belonged to him?
"Do I need to tell you in detail how much silver you've earned through the Assassination Pavilion over the years?"
Embezzlement and perverting the law are grave crimes.
As the Minister of Revenue, he embezzled silver from the national treasury.
That person deserves to die.
The Minister of Revenue took a deep breath; Gan Luo had no evidence whatsoever.
Since Gan Luo has no evidence, there's nothing we can do about him right now.
“Your Highness, you cannot speak without evidence. You must provide relevant evidence. If you do not have evidence, you are trying to force me to confess under torture, but I will not admit it.”
Gan Luo smiled.
"Since I have said it, it means I have evidence. Even if I don't have evidence, I am the evidence."
In that instant, I felt that Gan Luo was so unreasonable and domineering.
“You are extremely unruly and do not deserve to be called the eldest princess.”
"Whether I am the eldest princess or not has nothing to do with you. Even if I am unruly and rude, it is because I have the ability."
Gan Luo grabbed the Minister of Revenue by the neck.
"Do you know that if I only use a little force, your neck will break in two?"
"You shrew, let go of my father."
Gan Luo turned around and slapped Yan Ruyu across the face.
"Whoever calls me a shrew and insults me, do you know what the crime is?"
Yuan Zheng then realized that Gan Luo was angry.
Yuan Zheng said he didn't understand the ins and outs of the matter.
However, they also knew that the Minister of Revenue had definitely done something heinous.
Otherwise, why would Gan Luo have led his men to the residence of the Minister of Revenue without hesitation, surrounded it, and arrested the Minister?
“Everything requires evidence. Now, Your Highness, you have no evidence. How can you convince the people? How can you gain the respect of the common people?”
Evidence? Gan Luo looked up at Lin Fengmian.
"Go and search this study thoroughly."
Gan Luo asked Lin Fengmian to search for evidence for a simple reason: Lin Fengmian was more meticulous than others, and if he were to search, he would surely be able to find the evidence.
Even if no evidence can be found, there can at least be some clues.
