'Like walking on thin ice? I might be in danger at any time? '
When Zhang Taixuan, the new provincial governor of Youzhou Province uttered these words, Zhang Tie almost wanted to touch Count Long Wind's head to check whether he had a fever or not.
'Are you kidding me? Everything in Huaiyuan Palace is getting better and better. Such alarmist words should not be said by Zhang Taixuan. '
Zhang Taixuan seemed to know what Zhang Tie was thinking about. Therefore, he didn't speak; instead, he just called a librarian in the provincial governor's mansion and whispered something to him. Closely after that, the librarian brought an official document to him.
That senior official bowed and left. Soon, an official document appeared in front of Zhang Tie. Count Long Wind signaled him with his eyes. Out of curiosity, Zhang Tie took it.
"This is an official document that Commander Cheng from Northeast Military Region sent to Xuanyuan Hill. When this official document was delivered to Xuanyuan Hill, Commander Cheng had someone copy it here. You can take a look at it."
Zhang Tie opened it out of curiosity. Only after reading a few lines, he had been stunned. On the top of this official document was the original text of an impeachment. Below it was the reply and refutation of Northeast Military Region.
Zhang Tie had not imagined that he could be the protagonist of that impeachment.
— — "Impeachment of Zhang Mushen, the new dean of the Provincial Court of Youzhou Province by Su Qianling, the supervisory censor of Xuanyuan Hill"
This was the title of that impeachment. Only after reading it, Zhang Tie had widely opened his mouth.
After recovering his composure, Zhang Tie started to read the following article carefully. Closely after that, he became furious...
In the impeachment, Zhang Tie talked about two things. He talked about two things about Zhang Tie. First, it had been over two months since Zhang Tie took office. As a result, none of the officials in the Supreme Court knew how the new dean of the Supreme Court looked like. Therefore, none of the officials in the Supreme Court knew how the new dean of the Supreme Court looked like.
Secondly, Zhang Tie talked about what he had been doing in the past 2 months. He flirted with his beautiful wives and concubines in Golden Light City every day. He drank and made merry at home all day long. He bought and hoarded land and commodities in Youzhou Province.
The words in the memorial were ingenious. Although the two events were true, they were connected with each other. As a result, the image of a nouveau riche who had shown his shallowness, vulgarity, lasciviousness and idleness as soon as he became the dean of the Provincial Court of Youzhou Province vividly appeared on the paper. Anyone would spit at the sight of such a person.
Closely after that, the impeachment changed its tone. It directly pointed at Zhang Tie's key point.
"In the peaceful years, it would be a great fortune for the country if the supreme court of Taixia Country was free and unfettered. However, in such a chaotic world, demons were rampaging outside Taixia Country. Hundreds of millions of Hua generals and soldiers were ready for battle or fighting demons everywhere on the battlefields; Heavens Reaching Church seized the chance to stir up chaos. In troubled places, villains are waiting for an opportunity. Dragons and snakes are rising and falling everywhere. Numerous commoners are suffering from them... In troubled times, the dean of the Provincial Court of Youzhou Province is only greedy for beauties and commodities. He doesn't think about serving the public in such a crisis. If he only cares about his private interests, he would be the biggest misfortune in the world... "
In the end. The impeachment was revealed.
"Minister Su Qianling is making plans for the commoners in Youzhou Province and the world. I impeach Zhang Mushen, the dean of the Provincial Court of Youzhou Province and plead for him to be punished for neglecting his duty... "
If this impeachment changed the name of Youzhou Province and the name of Zhang Tie as the protagonist, Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie would definitely beat the table and stand up like a tiger after reading it. He would swear that the commoners in Youzhou Province must suffer a lot under the rule of the dean of the Provincial Court. However, when Zhang Tie finished reading the impeachment, he felt infuriated as a sense of being framed rose in his chest.
After a short while, when Zhang Tie gradually recovered his composure, a question arose in Zhang Tie's mind, 'Who the hell is this motherf * cker Su Qianling? 'I've just come to Taixia Country for a few months. I don't know this guy at all. We're so far away from each other. Why does this guy bite me for no reason? '
'I've not even offended anyone surnamed Su, not to mention Su Qianling. What's going on? ' Previously, Xuanyuan Hill was the most attractive place for Zhang Tie. However, Zhang Tie had not imagined that before he saw Xuanyuan Hill, someone in Xuanyuan Hill had started to complain about him.
This impeachment was submitted to the minister of public affairs, one of the top three chancellors in Taixia Country. After reading it, the minister of public affairs directly threw it to the Northeast Military Region and asked the Northeast Military Region to make a reply. The reply of the Northeast Military Region was very brief — — Bullsh * t! The two words were extremely overbearing among the official documents. At the sight of the reply of the Northeast Military Region, Zhang Tie recalled Commander Cheng's gloomy face as he felt warm inside.
After taking in a deep breath, Zhang Tie looked at Zhang Taixuan as he knew that Zhang Taixuan must have something else to say.
"Do you know what's the punishment for a knight like you in Taixia Country for neglecting his duty?" Zhang Taixuan asked Zhang Tie gloomily.
Zhang Tie shook his head as it was not written in the laws of Taixia Country. Therefore, he really didn't know about it.
"If a knight neglects his duty, he would be beheaded in the army; he would be dismissed from his post and exiled to the abyss of the Earth-elements Realm to fight demons. He would not be allowed to return to the earth's surface within 60 years. However, in the abyss of the Earth-elements Realm, a common knight could only survive less than 1/5 of fighting demons for 60 years. As the provincial governor of Youzhou Province, if you were exiled to the army, I would also bear the responsibility. Similarly, I would not make any further progress in the officialdom of Taixia Country within 60 years! Additionally, from then on, the key position of the dean of the Provincial Court of Youzhou Province might be held by someone other than Zhang Clan. "
After hearing Zhang Taixuan's words, Zhang Tie changed his face. If so, the memorial would be like a poisonous arrow piercing through his heart. If he was really exiled to the abyss of the Earth-elements Realm due to the crime of neglecting his duty, not to mention himself, even his mom might not be able to bear such a strike. Zhang Tie's mom was so concerned about him on the earth's surface; if she knew that he was exiled to the abyss of the Earth-elements Realm, she would be almost killed.
If he could not return to the earth's surface for 60 years, even if he could come back alive in the future, Zhang Tie could not imagine how his parents and wives would look like after 60 years.
The vicious intention in the impassioned words made Zhang Tie tremble with fear.
What was killing people without spilling blood? That was it!
Zhang Tie finally understood why Zhang Taixuan sighed that Huaiyuan Palace was as dangerous as stepping on thin ice in Youzhou Province just now.
"Who's Su Qianling? I've never seen him before. It's my first time to hear his name. Why does he target me like this?" Zhang Tie stared straight into Zhang Taixuan's eyes as he asked while suppressing his fury.
Count Long Wind let out a sigh as he shrugged, "The censors of the Censorate of Xuanyuan Hill supervise all the officials across the country. There are 360 censors in the Censorate. They're called Around-The-Clock Censors. Before reading this memorial, I didn't know that there was such a figure as Su Qianling."
"You didn't know that?" Zhang Tie became amazed.
Count Long Wind nodded, "Actually, it doesn't matter who Su Qianling is. In this event, he's just a tool and a chess piece in the hand of others. However, you're wrong about one thing. Su Qianling is not targeting at you, but at Zhang Clan of Huaiyuan Palace. If they could defeat you, they would defeat the entire Huaiyuan Palace. As you're the youngest, most famous and promising elder of Huaiyuan Palace, they target you. They want to tear a wound on you so that Huaiyuan Palace could not raise its head in Youzhou Province and shake the foundation of Huaiyuan Palace! "
"Them? Who are they? Does Huaiyuan Palace have any enemies in Taixia Country? "
"Who doesn't have any resentment in the martial arts world?" Zhang Taixuan let out a sigh as he watched Zhang Tie seriously, "Have you ever thought about why Lord Huaiyuan, the forefather of Huaiyuan Palace, went to Waii Sub-continent to establish the foundation there instead of staying in Taixia Country?"
Zhang Tie's heart pounded once again as he had not imagined that the resentment of Huaiyuan Palace in Taixia Country originated from Lord Huaiyuan.
"Are they the enemies of Lord Huaiyuan?"
"They're not only the enemies of Lord Huaiyuan, but also the entire Zhang Clan of Huaiyuan Palace. Without them, Lord Huaiyuan would not have fought to death in the Earth-elements Realm!" Zhang Taixuan said with a bit hatred, "This event is involved with many figures in Taixia Country. It's a clan secret of Huaiyuan Palace. Only elders and some figures in the clan know about it. Previously, I wanted to tell you about it after the new year festival. I've not imagined that those people couldn't wait to catch a chance after knowing that Huaiyuan Palace had won the position of provincial governor of Youzhou Province. They were so vicious at the beginning. If I don't tell you about it, you might suffer a great loss." Zhang Taixuan paused for a second as he watched Zhang Tie seriously, "Is it the Gobbling Party that dealt with you and Huaiyuan Palace this time?"
"Gobbling Party?" This name sounded very strange. It was Zhang Tie's first time to hear it.
"Lord Huaiyuan offended the Gobbling Party in Taixia Country. The head of the Gobbling Party has already become the royal tutor of the crown prince in the east palace of Xuanyuan Hill. He's a Class I official and the most prominent figure after the top three chancellors. He's also the most likely candidate for the top three chancellors in the future. He has numerous followers. His clan has hundreds of cities in upper provinces. His clan is dozens of times more powerful than that of Huaiyuan Palace..."
Only after hearing this sentence, Zhang Tie felt like swearing... Astronomy? Novels are better and updated faster!
