I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

Chapter 322 You underestimate me! I've seen it all! (Please subscribe and vote!)
"Tell me, what exactly happened?" Lin Yue'e asked, looking at the two sides fighting.

She's not a constable now; if she were, she'd definitely arrest them and throw them in jail before questioning them.

It can be said that Fang Qian and Xiao Ming were spared a prison sentence.

At this moment, Xu Zifeng stepped forward eagerly and said, "Lord Lin, let me speak."

He used to be Lin Yue'e's suitor, but now that he sees her becoming more and more mature, he can't help but want to make a good impression and win the beauty's favor.

Lin Yue'e glared at Xu Zifeng and said, "You go stand over there."

Xu Zifeng: "."

He didn't dare to argue and stood obediently to the side.

As Lin Yue'e's gaze swept over, Xiao Ming, panting heavily, pointed at Fang Qian and said, "Lord Lin, you be the judge! This scoundrel deliberately made things difficult for my official documents at the yamen this morning, and now he's using his power to harass a woman from a wealthy merchant family. I was just acting out of a sense of justice."

Upon seeing Lin Yue'e, Xiao Ming dared not admit that Wei Manying was his sweetheart. He had been pursuing Lin Yue'e for a long time, but Lin Yue'e was unaware of his pursuit and thought he had business with her.

Fang Qian sneered, "Manager Xiao, you have quite the nerve! Which eye of yours saw me harassing Miss Wei, and you dare to spout nonsense here? Besides, your official document is not in accordance with regulations; what's wrong with me acting according to the rules?"

"Bullshit! The same document was approved last month, how come it's considered non-compliant with regulations now?"

"Last month was last month. This month, new regulations have been issued. Doesn't Chief Steward Xiao read the Imperial Gazette?"

The two argued more and more fiercely, and it looked like they were about to come to blows again.

This time, Xu Zifeng didn't bother with it. "Go ahead and fight if you dare. Don't blame me if you end up in jail."

However, in front of Lin Yue'e, the two did not continue fighting.

After listening to the story, Lin Yue'e roughly understood what had happened. Back in Shanghe City, Xiao Ming and Fang Qian had a conflict, and now they were enemies in both public and private matters.

They were arrested and taken to the yamen for causing trouble in this place, but they didn't go to jail.

Only after Lin Yue'e gave the order did the constables dare to arrest them, and the two of them did not resist.

In the end, it was only after the ministers of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Justice came to the yamen in person that the two were taken away.

Thus, a dispute that started because of a woman eventually escalated into a direct conflict between the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Personnel.

Last night, the news spread throughout the entire officialdom of the capital.

"Your Majesty, this is the detailed account of what happened."

At this moment, inside the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, Guo Poyun is telling a vivid story.

After listening, Li Chen put down his wine glass and said meaningfully, "Old Guo, you've really gotten to the bottom of things."

Guo Poyun immediately replied respectfully, "Yesterday, one of my nephews happened to be drinking here."

Li Chen waved his hand, telling him not to be nervous. "I'm not blaming you. Your job involves planting spies, you know that's what you're supposed to do. Don't be so suspicious. I'm not the late emperor."

Li Chen just thought that Guo Poyun was so old, yet he still loved listening to gossip.

Li Chen personally came out to investigate this time because he wanted to see what was special about Wei Manying.

There's no way around it; after last night's commotion, Wei Manying is practically the number one trending topic in the entire capital. Everyone is eager to know just how stunningly beautiful Wei Manying is that she could make two promising young talents fight like this.

Various rumors even spread like wildfire, and for a time she became a popular figure among the public.

Guo Poyun was aware of this as well, and he cautiously said, "According to my investigation, Wei Manying seems to be somewhat special."

Li Chen asked curiously, "Special?" Guo Poyun carefully chose his words and continued, "It's said that any man who has seen or interacted with her will never forget her, especially young men."

After speaking, he also glanced at Li Chen out of the corner of his eye, seemingly observing the emperor's attitude towards women.

Guo Poyun's actions were understandable, given that his nephew seemed completely infatuated with Wei Manying after returning yesterday.

He wasn't exaggerating; he simply stated the facts.

Guo Poyun was also very curious about Wei Manying's appearance, and even more afraid that Li Chen would become too deeply involved to extricate himself.

Some emperors of certain dynasties were unable to extricate themselves from the allure of beauty.

He felt that His Majesty was young and interested in Wei Manying, and might not be able to control himself.

However, he underestimated Li Chen. Li Chen had seen all kinds of people, including hundreds of concubines in his harem.

Li Chen was just thinking that since this woman was causing so much trouble, he should just lock her up in the harem. That way, she wouldn't be able to come out and harm others.

This idea sounds a bit far-fetched, but it's feasible in a certain sense.

I remember that Chu Ruoyan once captivated many young people in the capital, including Xiao Ming, Wu Qi, Liu Hao, and others.

Since Chu Ruoyan entered the palace, these people have begun to demonstrate their abilities and make their own contributions to the Tian Ce Dynasty.

Li Chen's solution was simple: directly address the problem with the person in charge, and the problem would naturally be solved.

However, before that, Li Chen decided to go see Lin Yue'e first.

After all, he's someone I personally taught and promoted, so I'm bound to care.

Not long after, Li Chen and Guo Poyun arrived at the Department of Sect Affairs, a newly established department of the Tian Ce Dynasty, which was used to handle the issuance of missions by sects and mediate conflicts between sects.

This department is capable of resolving the sectarian issues that have plagued the Tian Ce Dynasty for a thousand years, and Lin Yue'e is the Minister of the Sect Affairs Department.

Although the Ministry of Imperial Clan Affairs has less power than the Six Ministries, the Minister of Imperial Clan Affairs can report intelligence directly to Li Chen.

Now that resources have increased and the number of sect cultivators has also increased, the sect affairs department has naturally become very important.

Apart from a few reclusive sects, most of the top sects cooperated very well with the management of the Tian Ce Dynasty.

When Li Chen arrived, he saw many sect members making arrangements with the staff of the Tian Ce Dynasty.

Some of these monks were dressed in fine clothes, while others were dressed simply, but they all exuded an air of detachment from worldly affairs.

"Fellow Daoist, do you need any help?" A young staff member walked over quickly and asked respectfully.

Seeing that Li Chen had an extraordinary demeanor and was accompanied by an old man who looked like a protector, he assumed that Li Chen was a young cultivator from a major sect who had come out to train.

Guo Poyun frowned, about to step forward and reprimand the guy for getting so close to His Majesty, but was stopped by a look from Li Chen.

Li Chen is here incognito, so he definitely wants to see how things are going.

He said that it was his first time in the capital and he was unaware of the city's rules.

The staff enthusiastically explained things to Li Chen and even gave him a booklet, which not only listed the cultivation resources open to the public in the capital, but also detailed the attractions and food.

This pleased Li Chen greatly. Those cultivators from other places who received this booklet would definitely have a much better impression of the capital.

But at that moment, Li Chen saw someone whose temperament and figure were extremely similar to Fairy Youlan, in short, she was big!

Her gentle and intellectual demeanor is particularly captivating!
