Tao Mingsheng looked around, and finally his gaze fell upon the Emperor. He cupped his fists in a salute and said:
"Your Majesty, Fang Chen is a Pill Qi Warrior, and such individuals have always acted without restraint, using martial prowess to flout the law. Even before he suffered defeat at the Three Boundary Mountains five years ago, he was already lawless and arrogant. How many young masters from high-ranking families in the Capital were beaten by him?"
Pausing for a moment, Tao Mingsheng glanced at the Crown Prince. "Even Your Highness was once slapped across the face by Fang Chen. With his boldness, it is entirely possible that he would plot to murder a Junior Minister of the Ministry of Rites."
