Gao Guan didn't want to say whether Tian Yuan was fooling the Celestial Thearch.
At least Gao Guan understood that even if he knew Tian Yuan was fooling him, the Celestial Thearch wouldn't do anything to him.
If the Celestial Emperor were to punish Tian Yuan, then no one would dare to oppose the Heavenly Court's nobles in the future. Even if the Celestial Thearch knew the truth, as long as he wasn't exposed, the Celestial Thearch could only turn a blind eye. Because Tian Yuan wanted to please him, no matter what, as long as Tian Yuan dared to put the blame on himself, as long as he followed the Celestial Thearch's wishes, then he would be rewarded.
If he didn't know the Celestial Thearch's intentions, Tian Yuan wouldn't dare to put the blame on himself.
To put it bluntly, the Celestial Thearch just wanted to know if Tian Yuan was fooling him.
Turning back, the Green Lord said, "You were the one who suggested the test. Keep an eye on it."
"Yes!" Gao Guan answered.
He was still in charge of the test this time, but he didn't need to stay there all the time.
Soon, the result of the Celestial Court's handling of the Heaven Street incident was out.
Although the Green Lord wanted to kill everyone who didn't go his way, the nobles of the Celestial Court were still punished. Because he couldn't beat everyone on the boat. Otherwise, no one would row the boat for him.
Since the shops that had been washed in blood had been dealt with, they should continue to be dealt with. The shops and the seized items were all confiscated. The people who were killed deserved to die. As for the other one hundred shops that were sealed, they were unsealed and returned to their owners. The seized items were also returned.
Of course, the Celestial Thearch still didn't interfere in this matter. Since the ministers didn't mention it, he didn't either. They left each other some face. If the ministers didn't make things difficult for the Celestial Thearch, the Celestial Thearch wouldn't make things difficult for the ministers. Heaven Emperor wouldn't embarrass all the ministers. This was what Marquis Tian Yuan told Lady Bi Yue.
However, the Celestial Thearch's intention was very clear. The imperial edict reached the Celestial Court Palace. Lady Bi Yue's rank was promoted to four sections purple armor general!
There was no reason for the promotion. He only said that Lady Biyue had made a great contribution in guarding the Heaven's Origin Planet. The others understood what he meant at a glance.
Lady Biyue received the credit and was very happy. She even praised Lord Tianyuan. "My husband is amazing. You can even help me get credit." It was personally conferred by the Celestial Thearch, it was a great honor to say it out loud!
Marquis Tianyuan didn't know what to say, but he didn't want his wife to look down on him. He couldn't tell her the reason, so he could only complain in his heart.
He only wanted to let the Celestial Thearch know of his loyalty, and he didn't want the Celestial Thearch to reward his wife at all. If she wanted to be promoted, he would have his protection, and there would be plenty of opportunities for his wife. Who knew that the Celestial Thearch would directly make this move, causing the other nobles in the Heavenly Court to misunderstand even if they didn't want to.
He felt as if he had shot himself in the foot. He did not want to be a lonely official like Gao Guan, but the Sky Emperor seemed to have that intention.
The City Guard Palace was originally the official residence of the Grand Commander, and there were also Miao Yi's people inside. After Miao Yi received the news, he also understood. He had taken such a huge risk, yet he didn't reap any benefits. In the end, it was Madam Biyue who benefited.
Miao Yi, who was pacing back and forth in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, was very depressed!
Four segments of Purple Armor General. If he was promoted one more rank, he would be qualified to be a general anywhere. Now he finally understood. He finally understood why Madam Biyue wanted to take the responsibility. It was to steal his credit.
It would be a lie to say that he wasn't angry, but he had no choice. His position was too low. The information was not on the same level, and he knew nothing about the situation in the Heavenly Court. How could he have the right to steal the credit? He couldn't do anything at all.
What he didn't know was that Madam Biyue's credit could be said to be because of Marquis Tianyuan and Gao Guan's cooperation. Miao Yi's role in this incident was minimized. Miao Yi had nothing to do with it.
After sighing in the courtyard, Miao Yi walked back and forth a few times. He also understood that it was fortunate that he was fine this time. Without a background like Madam Biyue, he couldn't enjoy this kind of credit. It wasn't a bad thing to have everyone's attention on Madam Biyue and think that she was the mastermind.
Of course, Madam Biyue didn't let him suffer. She quickly summoned him to the City Guard Palace.
In the back garden, the two of them were walking together again. Madam Biyue was picking flowers again, and Miao Yi was still holding them for her. It was as if they were husband and wife. Fortunately, Yun Zhiqiu couldn't see this scene. Otherwise, who knew what kind of weird things he would say.
After informing Miao Yi of the results of dealing with the hundred shops, Madam Biyue reminded him again, "Confiscate half of the loot from the other two hundred shops! As for the remaining half, everyone can't work for nothing. After all, they were scared for a while. Even if they didn't get any credit, they still worked hard. You decide how to distribute it. "
'Ugh! She really didn't treat me as an outsider. She actually told me that she wanted to embezzle the confiscated things! ' Holding a bunch of flowers, Miao Yi probed, "Will there be trouble if this gets leaked?"
"Oh! Where did my decisive commander go? Aren't you supposed to be very brave? Why are you as timid as a mouse now? " Madam Biyue teased. She turned to look at him and said in a low voice, "Once we announce the results, anyone smart will know that it's the Celestial Emperor's will. Those who suffered losses behind the scenes won't dare to ask how many things were confiscated by the Celestial Court. They don't belong to them anymore. We can't touch the shops on the surface. We don't have the final say on how many things are in the shops. When we raided the shops, some bottles were broken. When the people below collected the things, it's normal to have some losses. With the Celestial Emperor's prestige, if we don't make a move now, when will we? Do you think I don't know how Kou Wenlan tricked Xiahou Longcheng? This isn't the first time you've done something like this, right? "
"..." Miao Yi coughed. "I'll try my best."
"What do you mean try your best? This is a reward for you. If you don't want it, I can't do anything about it. Don't say I mistreated you later." Madam Biyue's eyes were bright and watery. She seemed to purposely puff out her full, half-exposed snow-white breasts. Her mature and alluring appearance was like a ripe peach. Just looking at it made one want to take a bite.
He wanted it! It would be weird if he didn't!
But he didn't want the flowers in his hand. When Miao Yi left the palace, he gave the flowers to the guards at the gate.
That woman's eyes were a little seductive and full of meaning! Plus, she always gave him flowers. It felt like she was hinting at something … He didn't want to become the second Murong Xinghua and Yang Tai. The two's fate was a warning. How much courage would it take to make a cuckold of Master Marquis!
As soon as he returned to his official residence, Miao Yi immediately started to deal with this matter.
Soon, the top hundred shops in the Four City District were unsealed. An announcement was also posted, asking people to take back the things they seized from the shops.
Half of the other two hundred shops that were almost wiped out were confiscated. The remaining half, according to the 'rules', was first chopped in half and sent to Madam Biyue. Miao Yi, the Grand Commander, kept half of the remaining half. The rest was distributed to his subordinates according to the rules. Everyone had a share, and some had less according to their rank.
The wealth of more than twenty shops fell into Miao Yi's hands. It wasn't a small number. These were not ordinary small shops on Heaven's Street. They were all shops of the nobles in the Heaven Court. Of course, Madam Biyue took the lion's share. The wealth of more than fifty shops.
It was said that Heaven's Street was a rich place, and it wasn't a lie!
Inside the Lady Boss's Paradise, when Miao Yi placed the large amount of loot in front of her, Yun Zhiqiu sighed softly after making an inventory.
'I've made a fortune. I can't believe I didn't see the indescribable joy on this woman's face.'
Miao Yi, who was sitting on the other side of the stone table, asked curiously, "What's wrong? Are you still angry at me? "
Yun Zhiqiu shook her head. "So this was all Madam Biyue's doing. I was so nervous for nothing. And??? Loyal to me! "
Miao Yi's eyes widened. "She did it? Pfft! She's more likely to benefit from it … "He immediately told her about how Madam Biyue stole the credit and took the lion's share.
Unexpectedly, Yun Zhiqiu became even more silent after listening to him. Now that things had come to this, she roughly knew how Miao Yi dared to do what he did. She didn't expect Miao Yi to be so bold and generous! She sighed. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Miao Yi was silent for a moment, then said, "If I had told you earlier, would you have agreed? You would have done everything you could to stop me. If you had done everything you could, I would have had no choice but to comply. Yun Zhiqiu, actually, I feel that you … "He couldn't quite finish his sentence.
Yun Zhiqiu blinked. She could tell that he had something he wanted to say. She stood up and walked behind him, leaning on his shoulder. She breathed into his ear and asked, "What do you think about me?"
After some hesitation, Miao Yi asked, "Is it because of the difference in our backgrounds? Do you subconsciously think that I'm not a good person?"
Yun Zhiqiu was stunned. 'Doesn't that mean I'm looking down on him?'
She hurriedly turned him around, adjusted the skirt behind his butt, and sat on his lap. Cupping his face, she exclaimed, "Niu Er, why would you think that? They say that if you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, and if you marry a dog, follow the dog. Since I'm married to you, I'm yours. Why would I think that you're not a good person? If I really thought that way, I wouldn't have married you in the first place. So what if I have a good background? The Six Sages aren't born to be the Six Sages. My man has always been a decisive person. Since when did he care about his background? "
Miao Yi laughed bitterly. "I don't know. I just feel that way. Ever since you forced me to practice my calligraphy, and then when you criticized me, you always went against me. Look at other people's wives. How many of them are like you?"
