In the main hall of the palace, Gao Guan sat on the chair and stared coldly at Lady Biyue. Lady Biyue was avoiding his gaze and didn't dare to look straight at him.
On both sides, there were several subordinates of Gao Guan standing in two rows. Lady Biyue, who was standing alone in the middle, felt like a prisoner. She felt cold all over.
After calming down, Lady Biyue finally gathered her courage and said: "My husband is one of the 72 marquises of the Heavenly Court. Why is Envoy Gao so rude!"
Gao Guan ignored her words and said indifferently, "Say it! Thousands of people were killed in Sky Street, and more than three hundred shops were sealed. Tell me everything you know. If you hide anything, don't blame me for being merciless! "
He was still wondering what it was, but it turned out to be this! Lady Biyue, who was frightened, secretly let out a sigh of relief. Naturally, she followed her husband's instructions and explained.
Although the consequences of deceiving the Celestial Thearch were severe, to those who had reached a certain level, the Celestial Thearch was meant to be deceived.
In reality, everyone was deceiving the Celestial Thearch and opposing him. Of course, he wasn't talking about rebelling.
The Sky Emperor forbade corruption and bribery, but everyone did it. The Sky Emperor forbade collusion, but everyone did it secretly. Otherwise, how could they climb up? The Sky Emperor forbade extortion, but in reality, such things were unavoidable. If they didn't do this, how could the nobles get rich?
When one reached the position of Sky Emperor, he was above everyone in the world. He was just there for the world to deceive. Even if it was an ordinary person, who hadn't scolded the damned God? So what if he was Sky Emperor?
On the contrary, if he were to reveal everything in full detail, there would probably be no more powerful figures left alive in the Heavenly Court, and there would be no more powerful forces. There were some things that even the Celestial Thearch was well aware of.
Besides, her husband had already told the Celestial Thearch everything, so if she were to tell the truth, she would really be done for.
She wouldn't be able to get any tricks out of him. She wouldn't tell the truth even if she was beaten to death.
Even though Miao Yi knew that Lady Biyue was up to no good. But he still followed Lady Biyue's arrangement. He had no choice. He could skip Lady Biyue in front of him, but could he skip Cao Wanxiang above him? Furthermore, there was still Marquis Tianyuan above him. After all, he would still be working under someone else in the future.
Fu Qing, Invincible Eagle, Murong Xinghua, and Xu Tangran had also received Miao Yi's instructions beforehand. He didn't ask them to lie or bear any responsibility, and they were to tell the truth.
Even if Murong Xinghua told the truth, he wouldn't be able to say anything as he knew very little. He would force himself to carry it out.
There were some things that Fu Qing and Invincible Eagle wouldn't talk about. They could only talk about what had happened.
Xu Tangran wouldn't say anything that was disadvantageous to him.
In short, if they followed the truth, it would be the same as pushing all the blame onto Miao Yi.
On the other hand, Miao Yi pushed the responsibility to Lady Bi Yue, saying that he had discussed it with Lady Bi Yue beforehand, and that she had tacitly agreed to it.
For the time being, Gao Guan stayed in the City Guard Palace, checking the testimonies submitted by his subordinates day and night.
All the commanders from the main town to the lower levels were temporarily isolated and watched. The interrogation also extended from these three levels to the deputy commanders and deputy generals, and then to the other Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals. Some of the shopkeepers on Sky Street were also inevitably investigated.
The shopkeepers were naturally speaking the truth. As for the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals, they were just following orders. How could they know that there was something fishy going on?
The leaders of Sky Street were under control for more than ten days without any contact with the outside world.
Inevitably, rumors began to spread in Sky Street, saying that Great Commander Niu was going to be out of luck.
Yun Zhiqiu was very worried about this. She kept asking for information from day to night. She had already moved the Ouyang sisters and Yao Ruoxian to Planet Formless to hide.
Half a month later, when he had more or less gathered all the information, Gao Guan gave the order to return Lady Bi Yue, Miao Yi, and the others their freedom.
At this time, Marquis Tianyuan had also rushed to the City Guard Palace of Planet Heaven's Origin. As soon as he received the report from Second Steward Lan Xiang, he immediately rushed over.
Seeing that Lady Bi Yue was finally released from the small courtyard, Marquis Tianyuan, who was pacing outside with his hands behind his back, immediately went up to her. He grasped her hands and asked, "Madam, are you alright?"
Lady Bi Yue knew the deeper meaning behind his words. He was asking if she was speaking nonsense. She shook her head and said, "I'm fine! I just asked about the Sky Street this time. "
Marquis Tianyuan breathed a sigh of relief. Worried that this woman would slip up, he secretly transmitted his voice and asked, "Gao Guan didn't do anything to you, did he?"
Lady Bi Yue thought for a moment. "It was just that it looked pretty scary at first. I was so scared that I almost peed my pants. I thought something had happened and he was going to kill me. But it was alright after that. It wasn't as scary as I imagined. "
Tian Yuan was curious. "It seems that Gao Guan didn't go too far. I was worried that you would suffer some physical pain."
Then, he coughed and smiled as he spoke normally, "I wanted to meet Gao Guan after I came, but he kept rejecting me. I think we can meet now. Let's go! You and I will play host! "With that, the two of them left together.
When they reached the courtyard where Gao Guan was temporarily staying, they coincidentally saw Gao Guan leading a group of subordinates out of the courtyard with a cold expression.
Tian Yuan immediately cupped his fists and smiled. "Emissary Gao, I finally get to meet you."
Gao Guan nodded slightly. "Is something the matter, Marquis?"
Tian Yuan chuckled. "Since Brother Gao is here, of course we have to play host!"
"No need for that. I still have to find Niu Youde to verify his confession!" Gao Guan said indifferently. He didn't give any face to Tian Yuan and left with his subordinates.
Looking at the disappearing crowd, Lady Bi Yue muttered, "Why is he like this?"
Tian Yuan snorted. "He's Lord Qing's henchman. If he wants to be a lonely subject, he must act like one! But this kind of people usually have a miserable ending. Their life and death are decided by their master. Once something happens and he offends everyone, no one will speak up for him. Instead, everyone will step on him. "
Lady Bi Yue didn't care about this. She was worried about something else. "Why did he go to Niu Youde's place? Did something happen to Niu Youde? "
Tian Yuan shook his head. "You worry too much! He should know the consequences of betraying you based on the fact that he knows how to kill people. With his uncertain future, he might not be able to keep his position if someone else becomes Tian Yuan Planet's Head Commander. If it weren't for you and me, would he even have the chance to be the Great Commander of this Sky Street? As long as he doesn't have the confidence to topple both of us, he won't dare to say anything. Otherwise, he won't be able to leave if we don't let him go. He still has to face us in the future. Besides, toppling us won't do him any good. He doesn't have any connections in the Heaven Court. Hiding under our wings is the best choice. With his current cultivation, it's not yet time for him to make a name for himself. It was not his turn to be in a higher position, and he knew this very well. But then again, after this incident, he'll be tied to our ship and fooled the higher-ups with us. He has no choice but to be one of us. You can use him without worry! "
Lady Bi Yue rolled her eyes at him. "You people in the Imperial Court always think too much."
East District Governor's Manor. Gao Guan and his men charged straight to Miao Yi's residence.
Miao Yi was a little confused when he saw Gao Guan leading his men. He had just regained his freedom and was still fuming. Why were they here again?
Especially when Gao Guan personally brought his men, Miao Yi felt a little pressured. He was worried that he had fallen for Lady Bi Yue's trap. They were here to capture him.
But when he thought about it, it didn't seem right. There was nothing good about Lady Bi Yue's side. He had pushed the blame onto her.
He now realized that his escape plan was useless against these people. These people didn't greet anyone when they went in and out. If they wanted to find you, they would find you. If they wanted to capture you, they would capture you. They didn't give you any time to react. The Heaven Court's rules weren't something these people could follow. What the hell! Even if he wanted to jump into a well now, it was too late.
Just thinking about it made him break out in a cold sweat. He realized that he still didn't know much about the Heaven Court. He regretted not listening to Yun Zhiqiu. He was too impulsive.
There was no use thinking about it now. Miao Yi hurried forward and cupped his fists. "Your humble servant greets Minister Gao!"
Gao Guan didn't respond. In his usual style, he only cared about moving forward, forcing Miao Yi to retreat to the side. However, he raised his hand, and his subordinates immediately stopped in the courtyard. They didn't continue to follow him, but quickly stood in two rows on either side of him.
Miao Yi looked back and forth. He quickly followed Gao Guan into the courtyard.
As soon as they entered the main hall, Gao Guan flicked his cloak and turned around to sit on the main seat that was usually occupied by Miao Yi.
As soon as he sat there, the atmosphere in the entire hall changed. It became extremely stifling.
Miao Yi had no choice but to stand down and use his eyes to signal the panicking Bao Lian to quickly serve tea.
As soon as Bao Lian brought the tea over, Gao Guan calmly said, "No need! I don't see irrelevant people when I'm investigating. You can leave! "
Bao Lian didn't dare to say anything else. He looked at Miao Yi, and seeing that Miao Yi had no objections, he immediately left.
After waiting for a while, he saw that Gao Guan was still coldly sizing him up. Miao Yi braced himself and cupped his fists. "What other questions do you have, Minister Gao? I will tell you everything I know."
Gao Guan said, "This case is about to be closed. See if you have anything else to say. This case started because the shopkeepers of the Seven Emotions Shop and the other sixteen shops presented you with gifts in order to obtain the position of Heaven's Avenue Commander. Did I say anything wrong? "
Miao Yi replied, "Yes!" He had told her all of these things before.
Gao Guan said, "Everything that happened after that was the result of you presenting a plan to Bi Yue, the Mayor of Heaven's Origin Planet. In the end, Bi Yue made the final decision. Is that correct?"
Miao Yi was puzzled. 'Did I say that I presented a plan to Madam Bi Yue in my confession? I think I said that it was Madam Bi Yue's idea. Isn't this a deliberate distortion? '
He cupped his fists again and emphasized, "I was just following the Mayor's plan."
Gao Guan retorted, "Do you think we don't know what kind of person Bi Yue is? Without someone's instigation, would Bi Yue dare to do such a thing? Do you think we are so easily fooled? You can say whatever you want. Why do you need us to investigate? "
Miao Yi couldn't help but emphasize again, "Everything I did was really following the Mayor's orders."
Gao Guan didn't answer and asked, "Niu Youde, are you willing to come to the Celestial Court's Supervising Right Department and work under me?"
"…" Miao Yi couldn't keep up with his train of thought. 'Isn't this a case investigation? Why is it here?'
He was still thinking about how to answer when Gao Guan raised his hand and placed two star bells on the table. "When you are willing to come, you can contact me directly." He then pointed at the two star bells.
Miao Yi was speechless. But since Gao Guan thought highly of him, he couldn't refuse him. He stepped forward and imprinted his transcendence seal on the two star bells.
Gao Guan casually took one and invoked his transcendence to shake it. After seeing the response from the other, he put away the one in his hand. He flipped his hand and took out a jade disk. He tossed it to Miao Yi.
Miao Yi caught it with a puzzled expression. Gao Guan said, "This is the information about your background that I have investigated. Do you think there is any mistake?"
'You even found out about my background?' Miao Yi thought to himself, 'How is this possible?' He quickly invoked his transcendence to check the contents.
However, he couldn't understand it from the beginning. He muttered to himself, 'Fire Asura? Who is Fire Asura? When did I become Fire Asura's disciple? '
He looked at the contents at the end and was secretly shocked. From the time he became a Vitality Sect's Guest Elder, to the things he had done in the open, they were all recorded. But after a closer look, they were all harmless things to him. It was impossible for there to be any shameful things on it.
What made him the most confused was still Fire Asura. Even he didn't know who his master was. How did this person know? He couldn't help but hold the jade disk and asked, "How did Emissary Gao know that I am Fire Asura's disciple?"
"I could tell from your actions." Gao Guan only gave a simple explanation. He then asked, "About your situation, is there any mistake in my investigation?"
Miao Yi was a little hesitant. He wondered if this person was testing him.
Unexpectedly, Gao Guan didn't allow him to think too much. He said firmly, "If you don't say anything, it means that my investigation is correct. If I find out that you go back on your words in the future, don't blame me for being rude!" He spread his fingers and the jade disk returned to his hand with a swoosh. He stood up from his seat and dragged the cloak away.
