This kid, isn't he a bit too reckless?
While Lu Wanshi's bodyguards certainly acted out of line, given Lu Wanshi's identity, he could easily absolve them of any punishment.
But don't forget, the strongest force in the Xi Chu Country isn't the Ministry of Rites or the Ministry of Revenue, but the Ministry of Justice.
The Xi Chu Empire is founded on law; even the Xi Chu Emperor Xiang Chu must adhere to the rules when finding a wife for his son, without any overstepping.
This shows the Majesty of the Ministry of Justice.
The Ministry of Justice in Xi Chu has always been led by the strongest prince from the emperor's era who failed to claim the throne.
With someone like that overseeing things, the Xi Chu Emperor will certainly act cautiously.
The same applies to those Ministers.
However, Lu Lin is now engaging in a street fight, an absolute red-line behavior prohibited by the Ministry of Justice, yet he's violated it.
