On the long street, two guards dragged Emerald Tiger's obese body out of his luxurious mansion.

This renowned South Korean tycoon has extensive connections and an unfathomable background.

Even the most powerful and wealthy officials in the capital city dared not provoke him easily.

That is why, even though he was notorious, no one dared to discipline him or report him for many years.

However, this once arrogant and powerful merchant was now like a limp, dead dog, his hair disheveled, his brocade robes stained with dust, being dragged along mercilessly by his soldiers.

The onlookers were taken aback at first.

After regaining their senses, they lowered their voices and began to discuss it.

"What... what's going on? Jade Tiger has been arrested! Could it be that South Korea is about to undergo a political upheaval?"

"Things are definitely about to change! Otherwise, who would dare to touch Jade Tiger! That's Jade Tiger; I heard he has a very close relationship with the General."

"..."

Although those who were discussing this were inwardly pleased, their words also contained a hint of disbelief and astonishment.

In their view, this was something that could never happen.

Just as the people were whispering among themselves, Han Che's tall figure slowly walked out of Emerald Tiger's mansion.

After calmly glancing at the onlookers who were discussing the matter, Han Che raised his hand to order the troops to leave.

Just then, a heavy scraping sound of armor suddenly rang out on the street.

A squad of fully armed soldiers appeared in front of them on the street and were rapidly approaching them.

The onlookers immediately fell silent.

There seems to be something fishy going on between these two teams.

Could it be that they would actually start a fire in Xinzheng City in broad daylight?

For a moment, the onlookers all began to consider leaving.

This drama is exciting, but it could very well cost you your life.

The streets became very quiet at this time, with only the sound of footsteps and the rustling of armor from the soldiers marching quickly.

Seeing the soldiers charging towards them, Han Hu behind Han Che immediately recognized them: "Young Master, they are the garrison of Xinzheng."

Han Che said, "It seems Ji Wuye's reaction wasn't slow."

It's highly likely that Ji Wuye sensed something was amiss the moment he led his men out of the young master's residence, and thus made preparations.

After speaking, Han Che stood motionless at the entrance of Emerald Tiger's residence, waiting for the soldiers to arrive.

Han Che remained unmoved, and his personal guards stood tall, their eyes fixed intently on the menacing guards.

Although the guards arrived, they dared not make any rash moves in the face of Han Che's personal guard.

Just as the tense standoff was about to begin, the guards in the middle of the formation suddenly stepped aside, making way for a single person to pass through.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Wuye's burly and robust figure slowly emerged from the passage.

He first focused his attention on the Jade Tiger, who was being held by his personal guards.

At this moment, Emerald Tiger was no longer the spirited man it had been when talking to them yesterday; it was now just a stray dog.

Although he didn't know what was going on, Ji Wuye understood one thing: he had to stop Han Che from taking the Emerald Tiger away.

The Jade Tiger must not fall into Han Che's hands.

Although Jade Tiger had regained his senses, he dared not meet Ji Wuye's gaze and could only continue to maintain his disheveled appearance.

Seeing Ji Wuye emerge, Han Che, having found his target, coldly questioned, "General, what are you doing? Do you intend to fight me right here in Xinzheng City?"

"Eleventh Prince is joking. This general is trusted by the King and is responsible for the safety of Xinzheng City."

"Now, the Baiyue demons are causing trouble in Xinzheng City, throwing the city into panic. As general, I must act with utmost caution and dare not relax my vigilance in the slightest."

"General, your words are nice, but what does this have to do with me?"

Or do you believe that I have connections with those Baiyue demons?

Although he did have contact with Tianze and the others, Han Che still spoke with a straight face.

Everything he did was for the sake of South Korea.

"snort!"

Ji Wuye let out a cold snort.

In his view, Han Che was deliberately making things difficult for him.

After all, he was the one who caused the whole thing.

Immediately afterward, Ji Wuye composed himself and looked directly at Han Che, saying, "Eleventh Young Master, as a nobleman of Han, you should set an example and abide by etiquette. However, in broad daylight, you led your troops to forcibly break into a merchant's residence and ravaged him like this."

This is unreasonable and illogical, isn't it?

His words carried an undeniable air of authority, as if he had already completely subdued Han Che.

Looking at Ji Wuye, who was completely unaware of everything, Han Che's eyes revealed a playful look: "What the general said makes sense, but you are wrong about one thing. I did not forcibly break into the merchant's residence, but was ordered to do so."

Ji Wuye sneered, "By order? Young master, you should be careful with your words. When has the King ever issued such a royal decree? How come this general knows nothing about it?"

"The general naturally does not know, because I am acting on the orders of the Minister of Justice of the State of Han. Dealing with a criminal merchant like Jade Tiger, who is so outrageous that he is hated by both gods and men, does not require the king's decree."

Han Fei!

Ji Wuye was so angry that his face turned ashen, and veins bulged on his forehead.

The Minister of Justice was in charge of the Korean judicial system and prisons. Arresting a merchant like Jade Tiger only required an official document, so there was no need to report to higher authorities.

After a moment, Ji Wuye composed himself and said, "Even the Minister of Justice of Han cannot arrest people without cause. I wonder what crime Jade Tiger has committed that has caused you, young master, to make such a fuss."

"Although the General has no right to inquire about these matters, since the General is curious, I may reveal a few points for your sake."

"In that case, please tell me, young master, what crime has Jade Tiger committed?"

Ji Wuye asked in a deep voice.

Han Che cleared his throat and replied, "Jade Tiger has committed numerous serious crimes: human trafficking, forcing women into prostitution, seizing farmland, intentional homicide, treason, and colluding with the enemy..."

At first, Ji Wuye was able to remain calm as Han Che rattled off a series of accusations.

The crime mentioned earlier is not a serious one. As long as Jade Tiger can remain calm, I can get him out after some maneuvering.

However, when he heard the subsequent charges of premeditated murder and treason, Ji Wuye could no longer remain calm.

Leaving aside intentional homicide, treason and collusion with the enemy are the most serious crimes of all.

Moreover, treason and collusion with the enemy are usually organized crimes, and such serious crimes often involve arresting a large number of people.

Once Jade Tiger is convicted of this crime, Han Fei and Han Che can use this pretext to create a huge uproar in South Korea.

Purge the government and the public, and arrest traitors!

No one can stop these eight words when the time comes.

Ji Wuye stopped Han Che from continuing and asked, "Does the young master have any evidence for these accusations?"

Han Che, however, did not grant Ji Wuye's request as he had before.

"General, it's not convenient for me to tell you these things. If you want to know the details, you can wait for the official documents later."
