This traitor is really speechless!

  Such an ordinary man, yet he dared to utter such arrogant words, leaving Wu Guan and Shen Deputy General somewhat surprised.

  The military officer raised an eyebrow and asked: "What did you just say?"

  His Majesty suppressed his anger and repeated in a serious tone, "I know the Minister of Justice, Mr. Zhu. Please trouble yourselves to invite him over. I will definitely get to the bottom of everything!"

  From His Majesty's words, the military officer detected a hint of flavor, "Your meaning is that you admit you are a spy for the enemy country?"

  His Majesty neither acknowledged nor denied, "When Lord Zhu arrives, I will speak!" The Shangshu officials of the six ministries saw him every day when they went to court, and through them, perhaps today he could attend the early morning court on time and rescue Tang Lin. Afterwards, he would thoroughly investigate the matter of enemy spies impersonating him.

  "Ah, I don't understand," said Shen, the deputy general who had been holding back his words, finally speaking up. "Capturing you spies from enemy countries is a matter for our Ministry of War, what does it have to do with the Ministry of Punishment?"

  His Majesty slightly curled his lip and reminded him: "But the problem is, I am currently in the Ministry of Justice's prison. You tell me, does this have anything to do with the Ministry of Justice?"

  "This," Deputy General Shen was at a loss for words and couldn't continue answering.

  The military officer secretly sized up the Holy Lord, and the Holy Lord's calmness and composure, as well as his tone and demeanor, made him feel that he was not simple. So, he made a decision and said to Vice General Shen: "Go, prepare the horse carriage, we will sneak into the Zhu Mansion tonight!"

  Shen's deputy general had a difficult expression, with some concerns. "But when we arrive at the Zhu residence, it will be almost five watches into the night. This Lord Zhu is likely to attend an early court session, how can we go and delay him?"

  The officer thought for a moment and then said: "This place is not far from the Zhu Mansion, we can make it to the Zhu Mansion before the fifth watch, let's do it!"

  Then, after tying up Yu Shengjun and throwing him into a horse-drawn carriage, Deputy General Shen personally drove the horse and headed to the Zhu residence.

  The horse carriage stopped in front of the Zhu's mansion before the fifth watch.

  The Zhu mansion's main gate was tightly closed, and Vice General Shen got off his horse and came to knock on the door. However, his knocking wasn't very forceful, showing that he still held a great deal of respect or fear for the high-ranking official who lived here.

  Before long, the gate of Zhu's mansion opened, and it was opened by a servant from Zhu's mansion.

  When the servant opened the door and saw the three people standing at the entrance, while the Holy Lord's hands and feet were locked in chains, he immediately frowned, "Who are you three?"

  The military officer politely said: "We are officers from the Ministry of War and have an urgent matter to see Lord Zhu. Would you please go in and announce our arrival?"

  "Please wait a moment," he said, and then the servant closed the large gate and went to find Master Zhu.

  The east wing of Zhu's mansion, in a certain room, the lamp had already been lit.

  The servant hastily walked to the door and stopped, bowing his head to report: "Master, there are two military officers and one ordinary man outside the door, requesting to see you!"

  The person inside the house hesitated for a moment before responding calmly: "I'll head to the main hall after I change into something more suitable."

  "Yes." The servant responded with a sound, then turned and left from the doorway.

  The servant led the three of them to the front hall. "Please rest for a moment, my master will be with you shortly," he said before retreating to a corner to wait.

  Before Zhu arrived, the Emperor had some questions to ask Wu Guan and Shen Fuyong, "General Shao should have seen the Emperor's face before, how could he let a spy pretend to be him? This doesn't make sense!"

  The military officer sneered, "Our Commander-in-Chief Shao is the Grand General of the Imperial Guard and a favorite of His Majesty. How could he not have seen the Emperor? You scoundrel, you disguised yourself as our Emperor's double, trying to deceive our Commander-in-Chief Shao. If it weren't for Commander-in-Chief Shao seeing through your disguise, these wicked people would have had an opportunity to take advantage of us!"

  The Holy Emperor understood, it turned out that the spy had disguised himself as him and infiltrated the military camp, falsely transmitting the imperial edict.

  At this moment, a man appeared hastily at the door, a slightly thin, sixty-year-old man wearing official attire, striding into the hall, "Who is looking for me?"

  At the sound, the military officer rushed towards Director Zhu with some excitement, "Director Zhu, I finally get to see you."

  Zhu Shangshu looked at the military officer, somewhat taken aback, "This general, who are you?"

  "General Zhu, I am Gong Yun, the newly appointed Left General under Commander-in-Chief Shao Qi. I've come on urgent business and apologize for disturbing you!"

  Zhu Shangshu was slightly surprised and delighted, "Hehe, so it's General Chang. General Chang, shouldn't you be at the border now? How come you're in the imperial capital?"

  "Alas," General Chang sighed, his expression hinting at unspoken difficulties. "Lord Zhu, this is a long story, but I'll try to keep it brief. You see, Lord Zhu, an enemy spy disguised himself as our Emperor and infiltrated the military camp, pretending to issue imperial decrees. He was later exposed by our marshal. The spy escaped into the interior and arrived in the capital. Now, we've captured him alive, but he insists on seeing you before he'll confess, which is why I'm disturbing you, sir."

  Zhu Shangshu was slightly surprised, "Does this spy perhaps know me?"

  General Chang sighed and said: "Director Zhu, we are also helpless. The spy is indeed like this. He's right here, sir. Take a look at him. Maybe he'll confess when he sees you!"

  Because he had his back to Grand Secretary Zhu, the true appearance of the Emperor was not seen by Grand Secretary Zhu.

  "That official wants to take a look at what kind of person he is," said Zhu Shangshu, who had some interest in the spy, and walked a few steps forward before turning around to face the Emperor.

  Because he could see the emperor's true face every day when attending court, Lu Shangshu was able to recognize who the emperor was at first glance.

  At this sight, he saw the familiar face of Yu Sheng Jun, his eyes suddenly enlarged by a factor of two, his heart shrunk to a lump, and a word immediately burst out of his mouth, "Imperial..."
