"Castle of Black Iron", more support!
If Heavens Reaching Church was just Heavens Reaching Church, Commander Cheng would not come to Youzhou Province for such a trivial thing even if Zhang Tie caused 10 times more troubles in Youzhou Province. However, after Zhang Tie uncovered the disguise of "demons" in Heavens Reaching Church, it was utterly different...
Actually, this event was the most shocking event across Taixia Country.
On September 4th, Commander Cheng's airboat directly landed in White Tiger Complex.
Zhang Taixuan, Zhang Tie, Elder Muyu and the other officials in Youzhou City were welcoming Commander Cheng in White Tiger Complex respectfully.
On Zhang Tie's side was Zhu Dabiao, the grandson of the provincial governor of Yanzhou Province.
Now that his grandson was captured by demons and his family members were involved, Zhu Tong the provincial governor of Yanzhou Province also followed Commander Cheng to Youzhou City.
Only after a few days, Zhu Dabiao's face had turned smooth once again. In a white bear fur coat and a silver mink scarf, he was standing on Zhang Tie's side like a fat ball with a red face due to the cold weather.
The news that Zhang Tie had inflicted heavy losses on Heavens Reaching Church in Youzhou Province had spread over the world. However, Zhu Dabiao was not mentioned in the news or the gossip.
This was a great favor. If the grandson of the Yanzhou provincial governor fell in the hand of the Heavens Reaching Church and demons, Zhu Clan in Yanzhou Province would lose its face no matter what the result would be. If someone made use of it to arouse some troubles, Zhu Clan would not be able to stand it. If someone made use of it to arouse some troubles, Zhang Tie might have a lot of troubles.
Taixia Country was not a paradise. This was Zhang Tie's biggest feeling after returning to Taixia Country for a few months.
The airboat slowly landed. All the people on the ground became spirited, except for Zhu Dabiao who let out a faint sigh on Zhang Tie's side.
"What? Are you unhappy? "Zhang Tie turned around and asked him.
These days, Zhu Dabiao had been living in the Provincial Court of Youzhou Province. This guy must be scared of being locked up. He felt that no place in Youzhou City was safe. According to him, he used to live in a luxury hotel in Youzhou Province; however, one day when he woke up, he found himself in the dungeon of Jiang Mansion. In a split second, he fell from the Heaven to the Hell. Those bodyguards on his side must have been killed. After such an experience, this guy would never go to any other hotels or apartments in Youzhou City.
These days, the Provincial Court was also cleaning up the remnants of Heavens Reaching Church. As the one being kidnapped, Zhu Dabiao had contacted that old b * stard for a few times. Therefore, he knew something more or less. Therefore, he just stayed in the Provincial Court to record his confession and cooperate with them. By the way, the Provincial Court could hide him for a few days.
During the past few days in the Provincial Court, Zhang Tie, On the other hand, Zhu Dabiao and Zhang Tie were quite familiar with each other. Therefore, they talked more and more freely.
Hearing Zhang Tie's question, Zhu Dabiao let out a sigh with a gloomy look, "You might not believe it. I've not seen my grandpa for 5-6 years. I might have talked with him less than 20 times since I was born. If not the accident in Youzhou Province, I'm afraid that he might not even remember whether he has a grandson or not. "
"Ahh, really?" Zhang Tie blinked his eyes. Based on the family atmosphere, he really could not imagine how could these things mentioned by Zhu Dabiao exist in a family.
"My grandpa has 87 children. My dad ranks 63rd in the family, which is not outstanding among his uncles. Besides my mom, my dad has over 20 concubines. My mom ranks 14th among the concubines of my dad. In my generation, I have 34 brothers and sisters. I rank 21st among the 34 concubines. Plus my dad's family, my grandpa had 543 grandsons and granddaughters and over 240 grandsons and granddaughters when I left Youzhou Province last year. The number is still increasing each year. Who do you think I am? "Zhu Dabiao rubbed his face," The old b * stard is the provincial governor of Youzhou Province. He's either dealing with public affairs or cultivating in secluded cultivation every day. I've seen that old b * stard less than 20 times since I was born. Additionally, most of the time was when we celebrated the new year or offered sacrifices to our ancestors. The old b * stard talked to me for the first time when I was 6 years old. When he talked to me for the second time, I was already 12 years old and had awakened my first ancestral bloodline... "
'Old b * stard? ' After hearing Zhu Dabiao's "honorific title", Zhang Tie became speechless. From Zhu Dabiao's words, Zhang Tie knew why major clans were so indifferent about kinship.
No matter who had 10 sons, he couldn't take care of each of them. Knights were powerful; however, no matter how powerful they were, they could only live 24 hours a day. Of course, unless the whole family lived in the tower of time. Otherwise, it would be a different story. As the provincial governor of Yanzhou Province, he had to deal with public affairs; meanwhile, he had to cultivate. Additionally, he had to eat, drink and go to the toilet every day. Occasionally, he had to deal with the problem of carrying on the bloodline or take a break. How much time could he have at home? If he divided his time into 10 portions, how much time would he have for each portion? When these eighty-nine people spread out again, how much attention would the smaller and more tender branches and leaves receive?
Zhang Tie knew that Zhu Dabiao's words were common among major clans in Taixia Country. It was too normal for knight powerhouses in major clans to have dozens or even hundreds of kids. Sometimes, the continuation of knight's bloodline was not only a knight's problem in many clans; instead, it was related to the reproduction of the entire clan; especially knights who had awakened their ancestral bloodlines. Carrying on their ancestral bloodlines became the most important task of the clan. It was not a joke.
Actually, after settling down in Taixia Country for only a few months, Zhang Tie had already felt the stress from Huaiyuan Palace as the elders of Huaiyuan Palace had started to ask him about it indirectly. The elders of Huaiyuan Palace had started to ask Zhang Tie to marry more wives and make more babies. If not, Zhang Tie was already an elder of Huaiyuan Palace with a prominent position. Additionally, after making meritorious deeds for Huaiyuan Palace in the competition for the position of provincial governor of Youzhou Province, Zhang Tie might be forced by those elders of Huaiyuan Palace with a lot of women.
"Haven't you just bought over 100,000 square miles' land in Youzhou Province? That's a lot of money, at least 20 million gold coins. Are you that poor at home?" Zhang Tie asked. "What a pity!" Zhang Tie asked.
The land that Zhu Dabiao bought was a bit more remote than the land that Zhang Tie bought beside Yanghe Prefecture. Therefore, it was cheaper. Additionally, given that he was the grandson of the provincial governor of Yanzhou Province, the Agriculture Department of Youzhou Province had already given the greatest preferential treatment to Zhu Dabiao.
It was Commander Cheng's airboat. Zhang Tie said as he followed Zhang Taixuan and Elder Muyu forward when they were dozens of meters above the ground.
"I'm my mom's only son. That money is the private money that my mom has saved for most of her life, and the money that my brothers and friends from the same clan have saved up. My grandpa and a few uncles also helped me a little. The Yanzhou Bank even loaned me some money because I'm the grandson of the provincial governor. That's how I'm able to make up the money!" After saying that, Zhu Dabiao stealthily wiped the saliva on his finger with the chili water that he had long prepared. Closely after that, he wiped the chili water under his eyelids. All of a sudden, his eyes turned red while his face was covered with tears, "For this gamble, I even cheated my younger sister of her lucky money over these years. Do you think it's easy for me? In order to avoid the debt, I even dared not go back to my home this year... "
'F * ck! What a b * stard! He even cheated a little girl's lucky money for investment! ' 'I'm really convinced! '
When the door of the airboat was opened, the people inside had not even come out yet. Zhu Dabiao let out a sorrowful cry, as if he had been through a lot of hardships and grievances. Closely after that, he charged over there like a young swallow returning to its nest. "Grandpa..."
At this moment, some people appeared at the hatch door of the airboat. One of them was Commander Cheng of Northeast Military Region. Beside Commander Cheng was Zhu Tong the provincial governor of Yanzhou Province, who had a pair of snow-white sideburns and a pair of thin eyes. Behind the two people were the two young knights whom Zhang Tie met at the riverside for the first time.
"Welcome, Commander Cheng!"
All the officials of Youzhou Province greeted Commander Cheng. Zhu Dabiao immediately hugged Zhu Tong as he burst into tears, "Grandpa... this grandson has a low battle strength. Unfortunately, this grandson fell into the hands of the devil. Thankfully, this grandson always thought about your teachings when I was young. I didn't lose the face of Zhu Clan. I didn't agree with that old b * stard's request at all costs; I would never betray Taixia Country... previously, this grandson had been determined to die for justice. I've not imagined that I was saved by the supreme court of Youzhou Province at the critical moment..."
Zhu Tong originally had a straight face, but when he heard his grandson's tearful complaint, his expression couldn't help but soften a little.
Zhu Tong directly threw a glance at Zhang Tie.
"When we found Childe Zhu, he was locked in the dungeon by the shadow demon of Heavens Reaching Church. His clothes were ragged and he was tortured a lot. However, Childe Zhu would rather die for justice. He even swore the old b * stard in the dungeon. How admirable!" Zhang Tie said with a solemn look.
Although Zhang Tie's words were a bit praiseworthy, Zhang Tie didn't lie. As for what happened later, as it was irrelevant to his moral integrity, Zhang Tie didn't say anything more. Although Zhu Dabiao was born in a major clan, he could stand it at the critical moment. That explained why Zhang Tie could get along well with Childe Zhu. If Zhu Dabiao was a coward, even if he could be saved, Zhang Tie would just throw him aside and let him fend for himself. How could Zhang Tie allow such a person to live in the supreme court of Taixia Country?
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, provincial governor Zhu completely recovered his composure as he lightly patted Zhu Dabiao who was wailing, "Over these years, this grandpa didn't pay enough attention to you. Sorry about that. Through the event in Youzhou Province, I found that you're still a bit brave as a man in Taixia Country. Although your battle strength is weak, you're still tough. Not bad, not bad..."
...

"Commander Cheng, I'm going to resign as the dean of Provincial Court of Youzhou Province!"
