Yu Zhao'an's situation took Chen Guanlou two days to fully understand. Over these two days, he gained a lot, establishing a connection with Advisor Li, who was close to Deputy Warden Fan, ensuring future interactions.

Li Dahong, after enjoying Chen's wine, was also willing to offer some convenience. In case of any issues, they would look out for each other.

As for this fellow Yu Zhao'an, his crime, at its core, was gross disrespect, angering the Old Emperor.

The Old Emperor rarely attended morning court sessions, and Yu Zhao'an, heedless of others' objections, brazenly pointed at the Old Emperor, accusing him of being obsessed with alchemy and neglecting state affairs, allowing the government to deteriorate, and shaming the ancestors. He nearly called the Old Emperor an incompetent ruler.
