At the same time, the guards and city guards led by the Right Overseer Department began a large-scale cleanup in Celestial Street.
The gates of Celestial Street were open, only for exiting and not entering. All non-Heaven Street merchants were chased out. The governor's manors of the four districts had a register of all the merchants and those not on the register were chased out of the city. Of course, if there were merchants willing to leave the city temporarily, the cleanup personnel would not stop them. The four shops of the Hidden Truth Pavilion were not among them.
This was a strict order. If anyone from Celestial Street was found, they would be killed without mercy!
The workers of the major shops could only stay in their shops and not go out. Anyone found on the streets would be killed.
Soon, the four city gates were closed again. The bustling Celestial Street became empty as if it had become an empty city. Many merchants also left to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
Heavenly soldiers and generals stood on the roofs of the major shops in the city, observing the streets. There was also a group of people sweeping through the major shops to see if there were any outsiders inside. It was as if they were trying to kill all possible threats.
There was no one else but Gao Guan who had such power in Celestial Street.
Tang Henian and the others, who were trapped in the cage, did not know that the people they brought or arranged to enter were either chased out of the city, or obediently entered the four shops and were grounded. They had completely lost any possibility of secretly stirring up trouble in the Heavenly Street.
Heavenly Old Man Residence, Forbidden Garden.
Wei Shu accompanied Xiahou Ta as he walked slowly. Xiahou Ta shook his head. "I knew that person would cause trouble, but I didn't expect Gao Guan to come personally. Gao Guan, this biting dog, really knows how to bite. He wasted the people the Four Heavenly Kings sent to guard the place. The entire Celestial Street is now completely under his control. The Four Heavenly Kings sent out four of their trusted aides, but now they have become hostages in Gao Guan's hands. No one dares to act rashly. Otherwise, it might give Gao Guan an excuse to kill them and cause the four families to be tied up. I wonder if the four of them regret it? "
Wei Shu said, "This Gao You Emissary is really powerful."
Xiahou Ta sighed. "Lord Qing has raised a good dog!"
Heavenly Palace, Sunset Garden.
Lord Qing strolled in front with his hands behind his back. "Gao Guan is just asking about the situation. They didn't do anything shameful. What is there to worry about? Gao Guan will naturally let them go after asking. If Gao Guan dares to be unreasonable, I will naturally give you an explanation. Alright, I have an appointment with the Heavenly Consort to play chess. If there's nothing else, you can all disperse. "
The Four Heavenly Kings, who were following behind him, looked at each other. Finally, they cupped their hands and said in unison, "Yes!"
After the four of them left, Qing Zhu stopped and turned around. Shangguan Qing leaned over and waited for his instructions.
Unexpectedly, Qing Zhu chuckled and said, "This Gao Guan is only giving me trouble."
Shangguan Qing knew that he was being sarcastic and said with a smile, "With Envoy Gao's style of doing things, I'm afraid he has offended everyone in the world."
Qing Zhu's eyes were filled with pride. He chuckled and said, "This Gao Guan is really something. I asked him to intervene, but why did he directly capture the stewards of the four Heavenly Kings? He even detained the wife of the Duke of Guang, a dignified princess. He really could do it. It's not like I can do anything to them, so why bother? What can I say about him? Later on, I'll have to clean up his mess. Sigh! I heard that he even locked those fellows together. Isn't he deliberately embarrassing that person from the Guang Family? "
Shangguan Qing said, "That person is unscrupulous under the banner of the Western Army. Envoy Gao obviously wants to teach that person a lesson. However, I have to say that Envoy Gao is indeed used to being a bad person. He is very skilled in doing this kind of thing and made the Wangye unable to do anything. "
"Hehe! After so many years, I'm still at ease with Gao Guan's work. "Qing Zhu chuckled. Suddenly, he stroked his beard and hesitated, "I heard that the Empress summoned the Heavenly Consort to be scolded again?"
Shangguan Qing's voice became softer, "The Empress has allocated a few imperial fields in the Imperial Garden for the Heavenly Consort to manage, but the Heavenly Consort has never gone there to serve."
"Does Chengyu mean that the Heavenly Consort should learn from the other consorts and put on an act? The Heavenly Consort is a true person and would not do such a thing! I haven't been to the Heavenly Consort's place for a long time. Arrange everything for the next few days. Don't disturb me if there's nothing important. I'll go to the Heavenly Consort's place for a few days. "
"Yes!"
Outside the sky palace, Duke Guang strode forward. Ying Jiuguang's voice came from behind him, "Duke Guang. Aren't you going to give everyone an explanation? "
Duke Guang turned around and saw Kou, Ying and Hao walking side by side. He sneered, "This is obviously Gao Guan purposely creating a rift between us. Ying Jiuguang, you won't fall for it, right?"
Kou Lingxu said, "I just want to know if your wife really has nothing better to do than to bite people."
Speaking of this, Duke Guang was also furious. He knew the situation at the scene better than the others. He also sent a message to scold Lady Mei. With Gou Yue at the scene, Gou Yue had his own sense of propriety. Why did a woman like her get involved if she didn't know what to do?
Actually, Lady Mei's matter was secondary. What angered him the most was that they clearly had the upper hand, but things turned out like this. He was a little angry at how Gou Yue handled this matter. Of course, he also knew that Gou Yue wasn't entirely to blame for this matter. Gao Guan was in charge of the Right Division of the Overseers, so he wasn't a pushover. There were some things that couldn't be said for Gao Guan personally handling the situation. If it were someone else, Gao Guan would be able to handle things directly without anyone else being angry.
Planet Nine Rings Planet. Spring Flower and Autumn Moon Tavern. The interrogation, with the interrogators interrupting from time to time to ask for details, lasted for almost four hours. The sky outside had already darkened, and the sky was filled with stars. However, the interior of the tavern was brightly lit.
Gao Guan, Yu Zhongzhen, Marquis Xuanyuan and Dugu Wu listened from the side, not interrupting at all.
This first round of interrogation couldn't really be considered an interrogation. Basically, it was Miao Yi narrating everything that had happened so that they could analyze and make preparations for the real interrogation later on.
After the three parties finished writing their confessions, Miao Yi handed them over to Miao Yi to read. After confirming that there were no mistakes, Miao Yi imprinted his transcendence seal on them.
After that, Miao Yi lost his freedom. His cultivation was restrained, and he was also escorted to the City Palace's prison by Gao Guan's order.
As he left the tavern, Miao Yi bumped into Yun Zhiqiu. The two of them exchanged glances, then brushed past each other. Miao Yi then turned back and watched as Yun Zhiqiu was put on trial.
Inside the City Palace's prison, Gou Yue was being interrogated. He was under great pressure, but as a servant, he couldn't tell outsiders that it was because of his mistress's stupidity. As a steward, he couldn't let his subordinates know about this, so he could only insist that he didn't know anything.
However, the three of them weren't to be trifled with. They knew that no matter how unreasonable Gao Guan was, he couldn't just capture the stewards of the Heavenly Kings' families for no reason at all. Otherwise, Gao Guan would have to bear the consequences. After all, the Four Heavenly Kings weren't just for show. Furthermore, the three of them were currently under control, and had no way of contacting the outside world. They didn't know what was going on outside, and had completely cut off contact with the outside world. Naturally, they wanted to find out the truth from Gou Yue's mouth so that they could analyze it and feel at ease.
If Gou Yue didn't tell the truth, the three of them wouldn't let him go. Naturally, they kept interrogating him.
Unfortunately, they were all locked up together, so Gou Yue couldn't hide at all. He was tormented so much that he almost got into a fight.
After Miao Yi was locked up, he was still quite a distance away. Even though he couldn't see anyone, he could hear their arguments. Only then did he realize that Gao Guan had locked them up together. He almost laughed out loud. He realized that this Emissary of the Right was really good at tricking people.
After Yun Zhiqiu's trial, he was also locked up in the prison opposite Miao Yi's. Both parties were separated by a few steps, and they could see each other through the bars every day. Once they confirmed that the other party was fine, they were relieved.
After Yun Zhiqiu, the survivors from the Youding Domain who had participated in Chu Zishan's forced marriage incident and the bloody battle were also brought in to be interrogated. After that, the members of the Blue Tiger Banner were interrogated one by one, and a few outsiders were also interrogated.
The first trial lasted for several days before they managed to gather all the confessions that could be used for comparison. The personnel of the three departments immediately compared the confessions of the several parties and found some problems.
The testimony of the Blue Tiger Banner members was more or less the same as Miao Yi's. They both said that Jiang Yiyi had taken a hostage and bumped into them. Then, without any explanation, Chu Zishan suddenly attacked them. They only retaliated in self-defense.
The Youding Domain's confession could corroborate part of the Blue Tiger Banner's confession. However, the Youding Domain insisted that Jiang Yiyi had taken the Lady Boss of the Glorious Cloud Pavilion, Yun Zhiqiu, and that Chu Zishan had only run into them because he wanted to save her. However, this confession was not valid. Yun Zhiqiu denied that she had been taken hostage by Jiang Yiyi. Mu Yulian and the others said that Miao Yi had confirmed that the 'Yun Zhiqiu' was a fake on the spot. If Mu Yulian and the others were biased, then many people in Heaven Street had seen Yun Zhiqiu appear on Heaven Street after the incident. She was also taken away by the City Guard Palace, so it could be confirmed that the 'Yun Zhiqiu' that Jiang Yiyi had taken away was indeed a fake.
However, many people also saw that the fake 'Yun Zhiqiu' had indeed come out from the Glorious Cloud Pavilion. They even saw her slap the Youding Domain's general.
As such, Yun Zhiqiu was interrogated again. She was asked why the fake 'Yun Zhiqiu' had come out from the Glorious Cloud Pavilion. Yun Zhiqiu expressed that she didn't know. She said that all the people entering and exiting the pavilion were being interrogated by Chu Zishan's men at the time, so the people in the shops had no way of entering or leaving. How could a fake have appeared? Chu Zishan's men should be the ones to be questioned, so she couldn't give an explanation.
After that, Miao Yi was interrogated again. This time, Xuanyuan Zhuo personally interrogated him.
Inside the pavilion, Xuanyuan Zhuo asked, "Niu Youde, what is your relationship with Yun Zhiqiu?"
Miao Yi replied, "We used to be friends. But now, I've already slept with her. She's my woman!"
He was really shameless! Everyone in the pavilion was speechless. Sitting high up on his throne, Gao Guan calmly swept a glance at Yu Zhongzhen. Yu Zhongzhen's expression darkened.
Xuanyuan Zhuo said, "What a coincidence. Chu Zishan was just about to marry her, so why did you have to make a move against him? Is that not enough to prove that you killed Chu Zishan because of Yun Zhiqiu? "
