Of course, Princess Rao knew what her brother wanted to show her.

She wouldn’t come, but she would be furious.

“Report to the authorities!” Huyan Yichen said coldly. “After what they did to our shop, we can’t pretend that nothing has happened! Do you think I’m that easy to bully? After what she did to me back then, I won’t stand for this!” The prince didn’t stop him.

Hence, Huyan Yichen went to the Punishment Office and banged on the drum.

The Punishment Office was the judicial department of the empire and was in charge of all the officials of the imperial court and the imperial family. Huyan Yichen had determined that it was Princess Rao’s doing, so he came here directly.

The Punishment Office was having a peaceful time.

The imperial court had been peaceful recently, and the head of the office had been trying to have a son to inherit the family business.

Just then, a servant came to report that the young master of a shop had come to complain.

The office head frowned. “It’s just a small shop. Why are you so nervous? Get out!”

“But… but… that’s Petty Shop…

“Petty Shop? Do you mean THAT Petty Shop? Master Huyan’s shop?!”

“Yes…”

“Why didn’t you say so earlier?!”

The office head put on his clothes.

Apart from being a master refiner, Master Huyan was also a member of the royal family!

He also had a title, which was quite prominent, although the old man himself never paid much attention to it.

When the officer saw Huyan Yichen sitting there, he was even more convinced. The teenager had addressed him as “Uncle”, which was quite affectionate.

“Ahem.” The office head cleared his throat. “May I ask who you are and what you’re here for?”

Instead of mentioning Princess Rao, Huyan Yichen feigned a teary voice. “Uncle, please help us. Someone tried to assassinate my grandfather and me in our shop last night. We almost got killed.”

Assassination?!

Northern Yan had always been a safe place. How could someone try to assassinate the top weapon refiner of the kingdom?

“Are you alright? How’s your grandfather?” Master Huyan was the most important figure of the kingdom, and they had to keep him safe!

Recalling what Feng Wu had told him, Huyan Yichen made up his mind to give Princess Rao a hard time. He feigned a teary voice and said, “My grandpa is badly injured, and he’s lying at home with the bodies of the assassins who broke in last night. Sir, please bring us justice.”

He didn’t need to say more.

Hence, with a wave of his hand, the office head was going to send one of his most capable men to investigate the case. However, after recalling Master Huyan’s status, he said in a hurry, “I’ll go myself and pay him a visit while I’m at it.”

He was furious when he saw the half-collapsed shop. “That’s outrageous! Which thief is so heartless? I’ll arrest him and punish him!”

He had made up his mind that he would make sure that the case was properly investigated, for with how important Master Huyan was to His Majesty, the case would soon reach his ears.

However, when he saw the bodies on the ground…

He was baffled.

The dead bodies didn’t look like ordinary people.

His most capable subordinate was called Yang Zong, who stared at him in bewilderment and didn’t know what to do. The office head gave him a warning glance.

Yang Zong looked distressed..
