No matter if it was a good or bad thing, there would always be some negative repercussions.
As he waited in the Grand Commander's residence, Miao Yi's first trouble didn't come from the Heavenly Court, but from Kou Wenlan's anger.
Kou Wenlan's anger wasn't without reason. 'I just left Heavenly Street not long ago, and you're already raiding my Kou family's shops and arresting my people?
Kou Wenlan only said one thing. 'Immediately unseal the Kou family's shops and return the stolen goods, and I'll pretend this never happened. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!'
As for the people arrested in the Kou family's shops, they had already submitted their testimonies. It was also because of this that Kou Wenlan quickly received the news. The shopkeeper knew about the relationship between Kou Wenlan and Miao Yi, and asked Kou Wenlan to inform him.
Miao Yi sighed as he held the Starbell in his hand. Now that things had come to this, there was no way he would unseal the shops and return the stolen goods.
Soon, Fu Qing and the other three arrived to greet him. "Grand Commander!"
Miao Yi put away the Starbell and asked, "Have the arrested shops given their testimonies?"
Fu Qing replied, "They have. They've all been released, but they're all asking when their shops will be unsealed, and when the stolen goods will be returned to them."
Xu Tangran said, "Half of the escaped suspects have turned themselves in, and the other half have been arrested after being reported by the major shops."
Miao Yi nodded, "Those who turned themselves in, as long as they give a statement, will be temporarily detained. Those who are caught will be executed! Since everyone has been arrested, open the city gates. "
"Understood!" The four of them answered.
Miao Yi then asked, "How are the other shops reacting?"
Fu Qing said, "They're all actively reporting to the Chamber of Commerce and colluding with their testimonies against you."
Miao Yi nodded as he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. The reactions of the major shops would be a barometer for him to test the reactions of the higher-ups. Those shops would definitely have contacted their masters. Since they had gotten their master's agreement, the possibility of things developing in a bad direction would be lower.
Truthfully, Murong Xinghua was a little surprised by the reactions of the major shops on Heavenly Street. She knew that their reactions represented the intentions of their masters. 'Are they all giving in to Niu Youde? Or is there a bigger storm brewing? '
Xu Tangran wasn't stupid either. The current situation was advantageous to them, and they were secretly elated.
In the Cloud Beauty Restaurant, in a pavilion hidden by a fake mountain, Yun Zhiqiu spoke with a puzzled expression, "All the shops are taking the initiative to head to the governor's manor of the 4th City District to submit their statements of repentance?"
The carpenter and stonemason who had gone out to gather information nodded and said, "That's right."
Yun Zhiqiu slowly stood up. He leaned against the railing in silence …
Although Marquis Tianyuan had told her not to interfere, it was impossible for Lady Biyue not to pay attention to such a big matter.
After learning about the reactions of the shops on Heavenly Street, Lady Biyue also felt strange. She slowly paced back and forth in the garden with a frown. It could even be said that he was amazed.
Not only did none of the owners of those shops who had their shops raided and executed come forward to denounce Niu Youde, but instead, the shops that represented all the nobles and nobles yielded to Niu Youde. Thousands of heads and the blood of the servants of the nobles and nobles in the heaven flowed like rivers, but there was no reaction at all. How could this be?
After thinking for a while, she took out the Star Bell. No matter what, she had to report the situation to Marquis Tianyuan as soon as possible so that her man could grasp the situation and make a decision.
After informing her of the general situation here. Lady Biyue couldn't help but ask, "Is there anyone on your side pressuring you?"
Tianyuan: It's very quiet. Even Lord Taibai Jinxing only asked about what happened and had no intention of interfering at all.
Lady Biyue was puzzled, "How could this be? When did Niu Youde get so much face? Did Heavenly King Kou appear? "
Tianyuan: "You! I can't explain it to you now, and it's hard to say until the end. I'll say it again, don't interfere with the matters on Heavenly Street for now. That Niu Youde is smarter than you, don't overreach yourself! "
Being looked down upon, Lady Biyue was furious, "Tianyuan, don't play tricks here. What the hell are you doing? "
Tianyuan: "I told you, it's hard to explain now. Things will probably become clear after the Heavenly Court's court meeting. Just don't do anything before I tell you, or else whatever you do might be wrong!"
Planet Qiong. Heavenly King's Residence, Three Origins Hall. Behind a long table, a silver-haired old man reclined on a chair and flipped through the jade plates on the table.
The man looked old, but his frame was rather large. On his slightly wrinkled face, one could vaguely see the handsomeness of his youth. His imposing manner was restrained, and he looked like an ordinary old man. Only his eyes occasionally flashed with a frightening radiance, and one could see that he was extraordinary. There was a golden cloud pattern between his eyebrows. It was neither a tattoo nor a birthmark, but a symbol of the materialization of the Bier Dharma Form.
This man was none other than Kou Lingxu, the Heavenly King of the Four Heavenly Kings.
Standing beside him was his old servant, Old Tang. His face was weathered, and he was as calm as still water. There was also a materialization of the Dharma Form between his eyebrows. It was a water-colored pattern.
Opposite the long table stood the three brothers, Kou Zheng, Kou Qin, and Kou Mian. They were also standing quietly, watching their father, Kou Lingxu's actions.
After a while, Kou Lingxu casually put the last jade plate back on the table after he finished looking at his eldest son's recent affairs. He looked at his three sons, and turned to the old servant beside him. He asked, "Old Tang, you told me that Wen Lan's subordinate is not bad when she got first place in the last exam."
"Yes!" Old Tang bowed and said, "His name is Niu Youde."
Kou Lingxu tilted his body and asked, "I asked you to talk to Third Brother. Did you?"
Old Tang replied, "I told Third Master. I also called the related people for Third Master to question."
Kou Lingxu, who was leaning on the chair, looked up at the ceiling and asked, "Third Brother, what do you think of the person Old Tang introduced to Wen Lan?"
Kou Mian immediately cupped his hands and said, "He is a promising talent."
Kou Lingxu nodded and tilted his head. "That person seems to still be in Tianyuan Planet and did not leave with Wen Lan, right? I'm told that the man caused some trouble in the Heaven's Origin Planet recently and even raided our stores. Is that true? "
Kou Zheng immediately cupped his hands and answered, "Father! This has nothing to do with Third Brother. Third Brother came to me in order to help Wen Lan get this person. I even went to the Ying Family personally, but they refused to let him go and insisted on sending someone to be our Domain Chief. They asked for an exorbitant price, so I rejected them. "
Kou Tianwang squinted at his eldest son. With one hand on the chair, he tapped on the armrest and asked, "Our shop has been raided by that brat. How are you going to get it back?"
Kou Zheng replied, "I have already told my men. If they are willing to give it back to us, we will take it. If they are not willing to let it go, then forget it. We will just suffer in silence. At this time, it is better to avoid trouble. It is not a bad thing to suffer a little."
"Yes!" Kou Lingxu looked at his eldest son with admiration and nodded slightly. He seemed to be satisfied with Kou Zheng's way of handling things. He asked again, "A Great Commander with no power or background can force the Kou Family to suffer in silence. He can force all the nobles in the Celestial Court to not dare to make a sound. He can force no one to do anything to him. You think it is too high to exchange a Domain Chief position for such a person. Then what position do you think is suitable?"
Kou Zheng smiled bitterly, "I am regretting now. It seems that Niu Youde is indeed worth the price. However, some things are not tested, so it is hard to judge his value. After all, his cultivation is still there."
Kou Lingxu stood up with his hands on the armrest and sighed, "What a pity!"
Kou Zheng cupped his hands and said, "I will talk to the Ying Family later."
Kou Lingxu waved his hand and said, "Forget it! Even if you agree to exchange a Domain Chief position, the Ying Family will not agree. If you go to them again, you will really have to ask for an exorbitant price. Why go and humiliate yourself? Let Wen Lan maintain a relationship with them. When the time is right, we will see if we can pull him over. "He shook his head and led Old Tang out of Sanben Hall with his hands behind his back.
Listening to the conversation, Kou Qin and Kou Mian looked at each other. A Niu Youde was worth a Domain Chief position? If a Domain Chief took another big step forward, he would become a Celestial Lord.
Kou Qin was slightly better off, but Kou Mian was filled with regret. His son had such a great helper under his command, and he had actually missed it. If he had known this would happen, he would have listened to his son and persevered a little more. Now, it seemed like his son had better foresight than he did …
It was not strange for farmers to work in the mulberry fields. But what was strange was that in the large green fields, there was a group of women, and a group of women who were as beautiful as fairies.
Hundreds and thousands of goddess-like beauties with delicate skin and tender flesh gave up their luxurious clothes and wore coarse clothes with their sleeves rolled up. They did a good job in the crisscrossed farmland.
Such a scene could be said to be a rare sight in the world.
It was not all women in the fields. There was also a man, a man in green robes. He was tall and had long arms and legs. He had a simple bun with strands of white hair. He had three strands of beard, thick brows, big eyes, and a deep gaze. There was a blue cloud pattern in between his brows. He was skillfully plowing the fields with a hoe in his hand. If it was not for his unconcealable aura, anyone would mistake him for an ordinary farmer.
Two figures descended from the sky. With a flash, they landed under the shade of a tree in the middle of the farmland. One of them had a pale complexion and a long thin face. He wore a black robe and a black tall hat. He looked cold and gloomy. He was none other than the Celestial Court's Right Supervisor, Gao Guan.
The other person who came with him was Marquis Tianyuan.
The two of them stood side by side and watched the man working in the fields.
