90 Weakness

Soon, Prince Shen Xu was brought over.

He seemed to have just woken up and was still a little groggy. When he saw that Xiao Juan was here, he only yawned lazily.

“I heard you wanted to talk to me. What is it?”

Xiao Juan ordered someone to place the stack of sample books in front of Shen Xu and asked him if he recognized these books.

When Shen Xu saw the books, his expression did not change.

He casually flipped through two pages. “I sent these books to the Chancellorand asked the old man to help review them.”

Xiao Juan ordered someone to take out a stack of books.

These books had been confiscated from the book shop by the Eagle Guards.

The two batches of books had the same name, but the content was different.

Xiao Juan asked Shen Xu to explain.

Shen Xu looked confused.

“I didn’t know about this! After the sample book passed the review, I got someone to inform the printing workshop to start printing. I didn’t care about anything else after that. If you hadn’t come to look for me today, I wouldn’t have known that the contents of the two batches of books were different.”

Xiao Juan stared at him for a moment. “You really don’t know?”

Shen Xu said yes.

Xiao Juan said, “Since you have a clear conscience, come back to the Justice Department with me.”

Shen Xu’s expression immediately changed.

He backed away quickly. “I’m not going to the Justice Department!”

Prince Ming took a step forward and said in a low voice, “My son has never made a mistake. What right do you have to capture him and send him to the Justice Department?!”

Xiao Juan said, “Whether he knows it or not, those forbidden books flowed out of his hands. This matter is related to him. He has to cooperate with the Justice Department to investigate this case. If he refuses, he will be guilty. I have to bring him back for a good investigation.”

Prince Min was livid. “You’re being unreasonable!”

Xiao Juan did not argue with him and waved his hand. “Take him away.”

The Eagle Guards stepped forward to arrest him.

Shen Xu tried to escape, but he was a step too late. Soon, the Eagle Guards caught up to him and tied him up tightly.

He cried at Prince Min, “Father, save me! I don’t want to go to the Justice Department!”

Prince Min ordered the guards in the prince’s mansion to come out, planning to snatch his son back.

Xiao Juan looked at him coldly. “The Judicial Department is directly under the emperor’s jurisdiction. The emperor has given me the right to act first and report later. Are you sure you want to attack us?”

Prince Min hesitated.

He knew how heartless Xiao Juan was. In the past, someone had tried to stop the Eagle Guards from handling the case, but he was eventually killed by Xiao Juan.

That matter caused an uproar in the court. A group of officials impeached Xiao Juan, but in the end, they were all suppressed by the emperor.

To the emperor, as long as Xiao Juan could get things done, it did not matter what methods he used in the process.

Although Prince Min and the emperor were biological brothers, their relationship was not close. He dared not bet on whether the emperor would stand with him.

In the end, he could only watch helplessly as Shen Xu was taken away by the Eagle Guards.

The butler saw that Prince Min’s expression was extremely ugly and could not help but worry.

“Your Highness, are you all right?”

Prince Min gripped his horsetail whisk tightly and gritted his teeth.

“Xiao Juan, just you wait!”

The butler hurriedly lowered his voice and advised, “The Eagle Guards have spies everywhere. Don’t say such things again.”

Prince Min was already furious. How could he care about this?

“Does he really think he can do whatever he wants? He has people he cares about. He has a weakness!”

The butler looked at him in horror. “What do you want, Your Highness?”

Prince Min laughed harshly.

“Isn’t he getting married soon? I heard that he has a good relationship with his fiancée. Get two people to teach Xiao Juan’s woman a lesson.”

The butler hesitated. “That’s not good. If someone finds out, it will probably cause trouble for our royal residence.”

Prince Min said, “What are you afraid of? She’s just a little girl from the countryside. As long as she doesn’t die, this matter can be fooled.”

The butler could only bite the bullet and answer, “I’ll do it now.”
