482 Beating the Scum Dad (Second Update)

For Xiao Hen, today was a day of great joy as he received a promotion, and for Yuan Tang who had finally escaped the Capital City, it was equally a day of celebration.

The Lord Marquis of Gu in the Capital City was not so lucky; he had an ominous chill in the middle of the night, sensing that something big was about to happen. Sure enough, he was arrested first thing in the morning before he even had a chance to wake up fully.

He was completely bewildered.

What's going on? Why was he arrested for no reason at all?

His father was arrested at the border defenses, and he was arrested in the Capital City—what kind of mess was this?

"Lord Marquis."

The one who arrested him was none other than Xiao Hen's new immediate superior, the Minister of Punishment.

The Minister of Punishment said with a stern face, "You are suspected of the crime of deceiving the emperor, and I need you to take a trip to the Ministry of Justice."
