Murong Xinghua had returned. As soon as she arrived at Sky Street, she immediately went to the Eastern District Commander's Office to report.
Compared to the past, everyone's attitude towards her was different. Starting from the guards, everyone respectfully bowed to her. They all knew that she had become the lieutenant's wife.
In the courtyard, Miao Yi examined her from head to toe. He didn't notice any changes. Her attire and demeanor were the same as before. There was no trace of the arrogance she had after becoming the Governor's wife.
Murong Xinghua couldn't help but smile. "Why is the Commander staring at me like that? Could it be that the rumor that the Commander likes married women is true? "she teased.
Miao Yi waved his hand, gesturing for her to stop talking nonsense. He turned around and gestured for Bao Lian to serve tea.
"There's no need to address me like that, Commander. In Sky Street, I am still your subordinate." Murong Xinghua sat down and made a special declaration.
Miao Yi smiled. "You just got married. Why are you back in just a month?"
Murong Xinghua replied, "It's not like the Commander doesn't know about my affairs. I have been his woman for a long time. The marriage was just a formality. There's no way he would be so attached to me. Otherwise, he would have transferred me over a long time ago. To him, having an affair with me might not be as romantic as having a secret affair with me. It's already a stretch for him to officially marry me. No one else can understand the bitterness he felt! "
Her words were too frank. Miao Yi didn't know how to reply.
"Don't mention my stupid affairs!" Murong Xing Hua brushed this matter aside and said hesitantly, "Great Commander, on my way here, I heard from Cao Wanxiang that someone has accused you of accepting bribes from the higher-ups. The higher-ups have already sent people over to investigate you."
Miao Yi scoffed. "It's just some people eyeing your position. I didn't agree to it, so they're taking revenge! A clean conscience fears no crooks. Let them investigate. "
Murong Xinghua wanted to say something, but stopped. She wanted to remind him that it wasn't a good idea to offend those people. However, Miao Yi didn't seem to care about it at all. On second thought, he wasn't a muddle-headed person. He probably already knew what was going on. There was no need for her to say anything.
There was nothing else, so the two chatted for a while more before Murong Xinghua took her leave.
A few days later, Yun Zhiqiu returned as well. As soon as he returned, he immediately went to Miao Yi's side via the underground tunnel. It was rare for her to take the initiative to approach him. However, Mu Fanjun's abnormal behavior made her feel uneasy. She had to discuss it with Miao Yi face to face.
While the couple was in the middle of a discussion in the enclave, Bao Lian came to report, "Mister, Commander Xu is here to see you."
"That bastard still dares to come here. I'll go and see what's going on." Miao Yi informed Yun Zhiqiu, then stood up and left the Blessed Paradise.
Xu Tangran was indeed a man of character. He could be said to know when to yield and when to stand tall. As soon as he saw Miao Yi, he quickly walked into the pavilion and bowed, "Grand Commander!"
Miao Yi asked, "Did you catch another suspect who was harboring contraband goods?"
F * ck! Xu Tangran was embarrassed. He glanced at Bao Lian, who was standing to the side. He took out a jade plate and offered it to him. "Commander, your words have enlightened me and prevented me from making a grave mistake! I'll leave this to the commander to handle. "
'What is it?' Miao Yi was puzzled. He took the jade plate and looked at it. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This bastard actually gave him the shop that he and Huang Xiaotian had conspired to get their hands on. It wasn't hard to imagine what he was up to.
'This bastard really knows how to behave!' Miao Yi casually tossed the plate back and said calmly, "I don't understand what it means. Don't drag me into this. I don't want to get involved in your trivial matters! But let me warn you again. Don't do such immoral things. If you dare to try to fool me again, you'll lose your head! " As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and left.
'He won't accept it?' Xu Tangran was stunned. He immediately understood that the Grand Commander wasn't angry at him for stealing the shop. Instead, he was angry at him for fooling him.
"Commander Xu!" Bao Lian gestured for him to leave.
"Thank you for your trouble!" Xu Tangran nodded and cupped his fists.
After leaving the Grand Commander's residence, his steps were light. It seemed like the Grand Commander still saw him as one of his own. He also understood the Grand Commander's intentions. As long as he didn't fool the Grand Commander, he wouldn't stand in the way of making a fortune. It was just that the way he made his fortune this time was wrong. In the future, he would have to think carefully before doing something like this.
He felt much better now. Since the Grand Commander saw him as one of his own, he wouldn't have to suffer in the future. His position would probably be secured as well.
Now that he had made his fortune, he hummed a tune as he made his way back …
Miao Yi turned back to the Blessed Paradise. Yun Zhiqiu saw a helpless expression on his face and asked, "What's wrong?"
Miao Yi immediately told him about what Xu Tangran had done. Yun Zhiqiu was a little speechless after hearing it, but in the end, he sighed and said, "With the Heavenly Court's current circumstances, there's no point in punishing Xu Tangran. If you really want to change, you have to wait until you have the ability to do so. You've only been in office for a short period of time, and your foundation is still shallow. If you punish the people around you, not only will you not be able to solve any problems, no one will praise you for it either. Instead, it might cause dissension among the people around you. Niu Er, you have to understand that to achieve great things, you can't do things just because you like it. You need to have people around you who are willing to steal from you. Only when you have all sorts of useful people around you can help you achieve anything. When you've succeeded, and you want to change, you might as well cook the hounds when they're all dead.
Miao Yi didn't do anything to Xu Tangran because of their friendship. After all, they'd gone through a life and death situation together. He didn't want to push things too far. Otherwise, he would've killed anyone else who dared to steal a woman on the street and cause such a mess. He didn't think as far ahead as Yun Zhiqiu.
After a moment of silence, Miao Yi shook his head and said, "I didn't do anything to him. I only gave him a few warnings."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bao Lian's voice came from outside again. "Grand Commander, Shopkeeper Xungao of the Seven Emotions Store requests an audience."
Miao Yi abruptly turned around and growled, "How dare you come again!" He then invoked his arts and shouted, "Invite him in!"
Within the Blessed Paradise, no sound could enter or leave without invoking any arts.
Yun Zhiqiu stood up and asked, "What's wrong? Why do you sound like you have a grudge against me? "
"Someone is treating me like a pushover. I'll go meet him first. We'll talk later!" Miao Yi left the Blessed Paradise in a flash.
Yun Zhiqiu hesitated for a moment before following him out.
This time, Miao Yi sat on the main seat in the main hall, displaying his authority as the Grand Commander.
Not long after, a skinny middle-aged man with a clean-shaven face lifted the hem of his gray robe and crossed the threshold. He followed behind Bao Lian and happily cupped his fists as soon as he saw Miao Yi. "Ye Xungao pays his respects to the Grand Commander."
Miao Yi smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Ye, why don't you focus on your business? Why do you keep coming to my place?" He had no intention of inviting Ye Xungao to take a seat, nor did he have any intention of having him serve tea.
Ye Xungao wanted to be polite, but when he saw Miao Yi's attitude, he puffed up his chest and raised his chin slightly. He walked to the side and sat down.
Bao Lian's eyes widened when she saw this. This was a complete disregard for the Grand Commander. She was about to yell at him when Miao Yi raised his hand to stop her.
Seeing this, Ye Xungao thought that Miao Yi had given in. He snorted in disdain and cupped his fists. "Grand Commander, there's nothing else. It's the same thing we talked about last time. The nephew of Lord Tian Mao's wife? Si Shi Na Di Luan? Yan Pi Ba Ka? Xian Nan Bi Wa Di Luan? Qiang? Shu Shuo Di Luan? Cai Di Luan? Nuo Mo? Yi Di? Yi Di? Do crickets rub their sleeves and coax each other to make the glutinous rice sink? Gu Kun Di Luan? Yi Di Luan? Ma?
Lord Tian Mao was one of the thirty-six Celestial Sovereigns.
The Four Heavenly Kings of the Heavenly Courts, twelve Marshals, thirty-six Star Lords, and seventy-two Marquises. Among them, the twelve Marshals were named Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Wu, and Hai. The positions of the 36 Celestial Lords were prefixed with 'Heaven', 'Earth', and 'Man'. For example, Ye Xungao's Celestial Lord Tian Mao was prefixed with 'Heaven' and 'Mao'.
Miao Yi chuckled and said, "It's a good thing that you're willing to serve the Heavenly Courts. I don't dare to disrespect Madam Star Lord. I'll say it again. As long as you're willing to come, I won't mistreat you. You can choose any of the deputy generals in the four districts."
What a joke! What was the point of being a deputy general? If he didn't become a commander, where would he get any benefits? Why did he have to come to Heavenly Street? Ye Xungao snorted coldly in his heart, but maintained a smile on his face. Sleeping? Bluff? Gum disease? What about the defects? Awesome? Bone Krypton sank to the ground? Sole?
Miao Yi smiled and said, "Whether he's capable or not, we'll have to see for ourselves. Let's start as a deputy general first. If he's really capable, it won't be too late to promote him. Otherwise, how am I going to explain to my subordinates and convince the masses?"
Ye Xungao's expression darkened. Using Madam Star Lord's name to get a deputy general position for her nephew, where would Madam Star Lord put her face? First of all, he wouldn't be able to escape the accusation of incompetence! He immediately cupped his fists and said, "Please reconsider, my lord!"
Miao Yi said indifferently, "I'm curious. There are many Heavenly Streets under Celestial Lord Tian Mao's command. With Madam Star Lord's face, what? Si Shi Yi Mou Huan Mang? Shan Yi Qian? Yi Qian Yi Yi Glycoside Sou Huan Mang? Carbonyl Glycoside Sou Huan Mang? Yi Yun Huang Mang? Pu? Gu!
Ye Xungao gritted his teeth. To be able to get a position in Sky Street, most of them had some background, so it was not easy to deal with them. Only the commanders under you didn't have any background. If Lady Biyue was useful, why would I look for you? Lady Biyue directly pushed the blame to Cao Wanxiang. She said that she was someone that Cao Wanxiang had kept back then, and Cao Wanxiang was a punching bag that could be used to coax and pester her.
Ye Xungao took a deep breath. Since the soft approach didn't work, he could only resort to the hard approach. He advised, "Great Commander, I've heard some rumors recently. I heard that someone is accusing you of forcing merchants to bribe. The higher-ups have already sent people to investigate! I also heard that this is only the beginning. If this matter is not resolved, some unscrupulous merchants will continue to complain! However, this lowly one has a different opinion on this matter. I can testify for you that there is no such thing! As for that? Si Shi Qiu Luo? Not hiring? Thread of Soap? Sole
She was clearly telling Miao Yi, 'As long as you agree to my conditions, I have a way to let this matter pass. Otherwise, don't think this matter can be easily passed with Marquis Tianyuan's support. It's not that easy to embarrass Madam Star Lord.'
Miao Yi raised an eyebrow, "Are you threatening me?"
"I wouldn't dare!" Ye Xungao cupped his fists and said, "I just want to help you out!"
