When he became the Cave Master of East Arrival Cave at the beginning of the year, his subordinates caused trouble. That was the lesson he learned. There was a reason why a new official had to be cautious!
Originally, he didn't want to cause trouble here for the time being. He planned to wait until he came back from the small world before doing anything. Who knew that a bunch of fellows who came to send gifts to him would show their relationship openly and secretly. It could be said that they were secretly reminding him or threatening him. In short, they were telling him that if he didn't arrange for the person they recommended, then he would be in deep trouble.
The implication was that he would have to bear the consequences!
Even though they didn't say it out loud, it was what they meant!
At first, Miao Yi wanted to reject the gifts. After all, it wasn't right to accept gifts without doing anything. But since they were threatening him, then fine, he would accept the gifts and not do anything!
Just as he said to Lady Biyue, they only got this position because he didn't have any background. If it was Kou Wenlan, no one would dare to do this!
Damn it! Miao Yi was a little angry to be threatened by a group of merchants in his own territory. He couldn't even handle the merchants, so how could he be a commander?
The situation was clear. If he couldn't prove whose territory this was, then he wouldn't be able to return to the small world in peace. He would not be able to return to the small world in peace. Otherwise, there would be people constantly causing trouble behind his back!
Fine! He wanted to see what these people could do to him.
In the end, it was just a complaint, saying that he was being bribed!
With Lady Biyue's reminder, Miao Yi was more confident. The Marquis of Tianyuan would send someone to investigate. As long as he dealt with Lady Biyue, there shouldn't be any problems.
Back at his residence, Miao Yi was lying on the deck chair under the pavilion, thinking about how to make a move. Suddenly, Bao Lian came to report, "Commander, Commander Xu is requesting an audience."
Miao Yi waved his hand, gesturing for him to come.
Soon, Xu Tangran walked in quickly and bowed respectfully, "Your humble servant greets the Commander."
Lying motionlessly on the deck chair, Miao Yi tilted his head to look at him and asked, "What's the matter?"
Xu Tangran's expression turned serious. He presented a jade plate with both hands, "Your humble servant received a report from someone in the West District. Someone was secretly hiding contraband. We immediately sent people to investigate. As expected, there were indeed some daring people who were secretly hiding 'Evil Desire'. Arrest the relevant personnel immediately! "
"…" Miao Yi was taken aback for a moment. He took the report and invoked his transcendence energy to examine it. After reading it, he asked suspiciously, "All eight of them are dead?"
Xu Tangran smiled apologetically, "Yes! When the suspects were brought into jail for interrogation. Those fellows didn't know life from death and actually tried to escape, so I had no choice but to execute them on the spot! "
He really didn't want to report this matter to Miao Yi, but he had no other choice. If there were any law enforcers killing someone in Sky Street, they would have to report it to the higher-ups. They wouldn't be able to kill as they pleased, or else they would be in deep trouble.
Miao Yi stood up and asked, "Where's the evidence?"
With a flip of his hand, Xu Tangran took out a small crystal bottle filled with black liquid and presented it with both hands.
After Miao Yi received it and examined it, he discovered that it was indeed the Evil Desire, one of the Seven Emotions and Six Sensory Pleasures, which the Heavenly Court strictly forbade from keeping or buying. It was only a small bottle about the size of a thumb.
To be honest. He didn't understand why the Heavenly Court strictly forbade this. Six of the Seven Emotions were allowed to be sold, but not the Evil Desire.
As for why, that wasn't something he wanted to worry about. He just couldn't help but look Xu Tangran up and down. He was very suspicious. He knew Xu Tangran too well. This guy wasn't the type to be proactive. If he met someone who dared to go against the Heavenly Army, why didn't he ask for help? Since when did he become so courageous?
Those who didn't know Xu Tangran well would probably be fooled by him. After all, there was no way to prove anything. And Miao Yi was a hundred percent sure that this guy was up to no good!
However, Miao Yi didn't reveal anything. He nodded and said, "Not bad! I'll report it to you later! "
Xu Tangran secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He chuckled and said, "That's my job."
After the two of them chatted for a while, Xu Tangran took his leave with a fawning expression.
Miao Yi lay back down on the deck chair and asked Bao Lian, "Did you hear everything just now?"
Bao Lian nodded and said, "Yes."
Miao Yi raised his hand and looked at the small bottle filled with the Evil Desire. He said, "Get a few people to investigate what's going on with that shop. See if there's anything out of the ordinary. "
"Yes!" Bao Lian accepted the order and left.
Half a day later, Huang Xiaotian was brought in. He squeezed out a smile and bowed to Miao Yi, who seemed to be dozing off on the deck chair. "Greetings, Commander."
Miao Yi waved his hand, and the others immediately left.
Huang Xiaotian nodded and bowed as he stood there. His smile was forced, and he looked a little guilty.
"Xu Tangran said this under torture. You're the mastermind behind this! "Miao Yi half-opened his eyes and tossed a jade disk to him. It was the item that Xu Tangran had reported to him earlier.
Bao Lian went out to investigate and found out that the shopkeeper of the shop that Xu Tangran had mentioned was Huang Xiaotian. Only Huang Xiaotian came back alive after the people from the shop were taken away. It was hard for Miao Yi not to suspect that there was something fishy going on. He immediately found someone to bring Huang Xiaotian here so that he wouldn't have a chance to contact anyone.
When he heard that Xu Tangran had been tortured, Huang Xiaotian immediately panicked. After reading through the crimes that Xu Tangran had concocted in his report, he realized that it was exactly what he had been worried about. His forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his voice trembled as he said, "Commander, I was forced to do this. It was Commander Xu who ordered me to do this."
Miao Yi tilted his head and glared at him coldly. "Tell me, should I believe you or Xu Tangran? Should I chop off your head or Xu Tangran's? "
"Commander!" Huang Xiaotian fell to his knees. He was filled with regret. He regretted that he had been blinded by greed and colluded with Xu Tangran to do something like this. Now that he hadn't gotten rich, he might even lose his head. His voice trembled as he said, "It was really Commander Xu who ordered me to do this! I would never dare to lie to you, Milord. "
Miao Yi replied calmly, "I find this matter strange as well. You've only just arrived here, so how could you dare to do such a thing? That's why I've come here to ask you about it. You'd better be honest with me. I know who's telling the truth and who's lying."
"I'll have to start from when I first arrived …" Huang Xiaotian immediately recounted everything that had happened.
After listening, Miao Yi, who was lying on the recliner, was speechless. He was just casually bluffing, but he didn't expect to get such an unexpected result.
Miao Yi realized that this motherf * cking Xu Tangran was extraordinarily daring! When he was in trouble, he was afraid of death and very timid. But when it came to doing something like this, he was extremely daring. He was even more daring than Xiahou Longcheng. At least Xiahou Longcheng used his status to openly rob, but this bastard Xu Tangran used his status to secretly eat people without spitting out their bones. He actually used this kind of method to get rich. Calling him a despicable person was a bit of an exaggeration.
Only now did he realize that this Huang Xiaotian wasn't a good person either. He coldly snorted. "Words are no proof. Write down what you just said!"
He said it all. Huang Xiaotian didn't dare to disobey. He immediately took out a jade disk and knelt on the ground to write.
Just then, Bao Lian came in again. He glanced at Huang Xiaotian, who was kneeling in front of Miao Yi. He leaned over and transmitted his voice into Miao Yi's ear, "Xu Tangran is here. From the looks of it, he seems to know that Huang Xiaotian has been brought here."
Speaking like this, Miao Yi could smell the faint virgin fragrance coming from Bao Lian's body. It was quite a pleasure. He took another breath and scoffed, "He's quite well-informed. Let him in."
"Yes!" Bao Lian replied and left.
At this time, Xu Tangran was anxiously pacing around the Governor's Office's official residence. When he suddenly found out that Huang Xiaotian had been brought here, he immediately knew that something was wrong and rushed over as fast as he could. He hoped he could make it in time.
"Commander Xu, please come in!" Bao Lian appeared and greeted him.
Xu Tangran immediately cupped his fists. He couldn't care less about etiquette and quickly rushed in. When he entered the courtyard, he saw Huang Xiaotian kneeling in front of Miao Yi, writing something.
"Ahem!" Xu Tangran let out a dry cough, indicating that he was here, hoping that he could stop Huang Xiaotian.
Miao Yi was still lying on the chair, looking at the approaching Xu Tangran with an indifferent expression.
Huang Xiaotian, who was kneeling on the ground, turned his head when he heard Miao Yi's voice. He was instantly dumbfounded. 'Didn't they say he was going to be tortured? Why does he look like he's fine? ' He abruptly turned his head to look at Miao Yi. Something flashed through his mind, and his face instantly paled. He almost wanted to bang his head against the wall and die. 'I've been tricked!'
"Great Commander!" Xu Tangran cupped his fists and laughed dryly. He pointed at the kneeling Huang Xiaotian, still feigning ignorance. "What's the reason for this?"
"Xu Tangran, you've got guts. You actually dared to fool me!" Miao Yi said with an expressionless face.
Xu Tangran continued to force a smile. "I don't understand. Great Commander is referring to … "
"Men!" Miao Yi suddenly shouted, cutting him off.
Whoosh whoosh! Qing Feng immediately led a few men over and scanned the scene.
"Great Commander!" Xu Tangran's expression changed. His face froze, and his forehead broke out in a cold sweat.
"Continue writing the evidence of your crimes!" Miao Yi pointed at Huang Xiaotian, and the latter immediately buried his head and continued writing. Miao Yi then pointed at Xu Tangran. "You continue writing. If anyone dares to hide anything, I will chop off his head and report to the City Guard Palace!"
"Great Commander …" Xu Tangran's face instantly revealed a pitiful expression. He knelt down with a thud, preparing to put on another pitiful act.
Unexpectedly, Miao Yi didn't fall for it at all. He quickly returned to the house and said, "Don't let them collude!"
Qing Feng and the others immediately surrounded the two men kneeling on the ground. They pulled out their cold weapons and placed them on their necks, causing them to tremble in fear.
Xu Tangran glared hatefully at Huang Xiaotian. He hated this incompetent bastard. However, his life was more important, so he obediently took out a jade disk and wrote down the details of his crimes …
When Bao Lian returned to the house from the courtyard, he handed over the testimonies written by the two men to Miao Yi. Miao Yi was both annoyed and amused at the same time. "These two ruthless murderers. They really dare to do anything! Call them over! "
When Bao Lian summoned the two men over, Xu Tangran's face was already covered in tears of regret. However, before he could say anything, Miao Yi coldly said, "Don't do it again! If there is a next time, I will cut off your heads. Scram! "
"…" Xu Tangran and Huang Xiaotian, whose faces were covered in tears, were stunned.
After the two of them rolled out of the gates of the Eastern District Commander's Office, Huang Xiaotian weakly asked, "Is everything really alright?"
Xu Tangran angrily said, "Come to my place!" After saying this, he flew away.
Huang Xiaotian didn't dare to fly randomly in the streets. He sped up and when he arrived at the western governor's manor, he saw Xu Tangran who had a dark expression on his face. Before he could even speak, Xu Tangran already asked, "What's going on?"
Huang Xiaotian felt like crying, so he quickly explained the situation to Miao Yi.
"You're a lion spirit, but you're even dumber than a pig. How could you fall for such a petty trick …" Xu Tangran yelled. He grabbed Huang Xiaotian and started to beat him up. Huang Xiaotian curled up and let him hit him, not daring to fight back.
After venting his anger, Xu Tangran was gasping for breath. He wasn't tired, but rather angry. He kicked Huang Xiaotian again before retreating to a chair and sitting down. He sighed and said, "I'm also blinded by greed. It's not like I haven't experienced the Chief Commander's craftiness before. I'm just asking for trouble by trying to fool him!"
Huang Xiaotian crawled up with footprints all over his body. His eyes glowed as he said, "Are you not going to pursue the matter regarding Commander's' don't do it again '?"
