Tao Mingsheng looked around, and finally his gaze fell on the Emperor. He cupped his fists and bowed:
"Your Majesty, Fang Chen is an Elixir Qi martial artist, and such beings have always acted without restraint, violating the laws with martial might. Even before his defeat at Sanshijie Mountain five years ago, he was already lawless and arrogant. How many high-ranking officials' sons in the Capital were beaten by him?"
After a brief pause, Tao Mingsheng glanced at the Crown Prince. "Even the Crown Prince himself was once slapped in the face by Fang Chen. With his boldness, plotting to murder a Secretary of the Ministry of Rites is not beyond the realm of possibility."
