However, when he was about to leave, Yang Qing couldn't help but turn back and ask, "Milord, are you really going to send so many people to Flowing Clouds Dune Sea to be bandits?"
Miao Yi nodded. "Giving them a chance to train is also giving them a chance to find a way to make a living. It's better than staying here and receiving death pay. Besides, we can also use Flowing Clouds Dune Sea to pick out some useful people. "
There was something else he didn't say. Now that no one dared to touch him, keeping so many Advisors was a waste. They wouldn't be of any use at all. What was the point of keeping them here if not for work?
Back at the Grand Steward's manor, Yang Qing sat on a chair in the main hall for a long time.
Qing Mei and Qing Ju looked at each other, then asked, "Milord, why are you so depressed?"
Yang Qing raised his head to look at the two. He wanted to say something, but stopped himself. In the end, he sighed and waved his hand.
Yang Qing's abilities were unquestionable. After personally talking to Cheng Yaowei, he quickly came up with a general plan. It wasn't possible to get more details for now, because Yang Qing wasn't too familiar with Flowing Clouds Dune Sea. In addition, he didn't trust Cheng Yaowei too much. He had to wait for the people here to go to Flowing Clouds Dune Sea to send back news before he could plan in detail.
After Cheng Yaowei left, Yang Qing began to pick out his men. There were too many people from different sects in the two halls. Keeping it a secret was a headache for him.
Yang Qing told Yan Xiu about his concerns. He suspected that Yan Xiu was trying to persuade Miao Yi, so Yan Xiu passed the message to Miao Yi.
After Miao Yi heard about it, he realized that this Grand Steward Yang was a good person, but he was overcautious. Sometimes, it was a good thing, but sometimes it was also a bad thing. He had no choice but to tell Yang Qing that he was worrying too much. The people from Flowing Clouds Dune Sea hated the officials, so if their identities as officials were exposed, they would only be looking for trouble for themselves. At the same time, if they found out that anyone had leaked any information to their own sect, they would have to bear the consequences themselves. They just had to make it clear to them. They valued their own lives more than anyone else, so there was no point in worrying too much.
There was nothing more to worry about. Miao Yi then asked Yang Qing to summon Yang Zhaoqing to see him. In the previous two Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusades, Yang Zhaoqing volunteered.
However, Miao Yi rejected him. It was a good thing to be motivated, but the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade wasn't suitable for Yang Zhaoqing at all. Miao Yi had participated before, and he knew very well that without a good transcendent artifact by his side, he would die. He could give Flowing Clouds Dune Sea a try though.
When Yang Zhaoqing arrived, Miao Yi didn't hide anything from him and explained the situation to him. Yang Zhaoqing readily agreed.
Very quickly, the one thousand men that the two Halls had transferred quietly left in batches. The four Advisors they had sent out also quietly left.
On the other side, Cheng Yaowei's son, Cheng Yingfei, had also arrived. After meeting his mother, Wu Qunfang, Wu Qunfang held her son's hand excitedly.
So many of her children had died, but now she had a son who had a bright future ahead of him. He could be a decent man. How could she not be happy? At least, no matter what happened to the Hive Gang in the future. At least one bloodline could be preserved here.
Cheng Yingfei, on the other hand, was kneeling in front of Wu Qunfang and Cheng Yingwu, weeping bitterly. His future was bought by his mother and sister, who had stayed here to sweep the floor and suffer humiliation. For the sake of his future, his entire family had made a huge sacrifice.
He had originally insisted on not coming, wanting to give the opportunity to his younger siblings. However, his father had said that the government was also a place where strength was important. His younger siblings were currently slightly weaker, so they might just waste the opportunity if they went. Thus, he had come.
In the courtyard where the mother and daughter lived together, Wu Qunfang helped her son up and wiped away his tears. She held onto her son's hand and said, "A bright future is right in front of us. From now on, we won't have to live in fear anymore. Why should a man cry? Don't let others look down on my son. Come, follow me to see Milord! "
Cheng Yingwu watched as her mother and brother left. After witnessing the scene with her own eyes, the grievances in her heart completely vanished. Only then did she realize that what she had done was actually very meaningful to her family. No wonder her mother was so polite and respectful to that despicable bastard.
From then on, Cheng Yingwu was obedient whenever she saw Miao Yi. She was as obedient as a kitten.
The mother and son duo waited in the rear palace for a while. Only when Miao Yi received his report did he come out of his silent quarters. As he walked down the stairs, both mother and son immediately bowed and said, "Milord!"
Miao Yi had met Cheng Yingfei before. He nodded, then casually took out a jade disk and wrote a letter before handing it to Wu Qunfang. "Tell Cheng Yingfei to report to Hall Master Zhao Fei at Traversing Moon Palace's Suppressing Geng Hall. I have already spoken to Hall Master Zhao. Once you arrive, he will immediately transfer you to an official position and arrange for you to serve as his Hall Envoy."
Wu Qunfang read the letter and realized that it was indeed a recommendation letter. She immediately felt as though she had just received a priceless treasure. At the same time, she was afraid that there might be a mistake, so she carefully asked, "Is it Hall Master Zhao Fei of Traversing Moon Palace's Suppressing Geng Hall?"
Miao Yi nodded. Wu Qunfang quickly pulled on her son's arm, and both mother and son bowed and said, "Thank you, Milord!"
Miao Yi then reminded, "Going there is only a transition. It's a cover for you to join the government. Bear with it when things get out of hand, and keep your bandit habits in check. Don't be like your younger sister, Cheng Yingwu. She didn't even understand the situation properly before acting rashly. The government follows the rules of the game. I'll still say the same thing. You're only going there as a transition. Don't force yourself if things get out of hand. Don't cause any trouble for Hall Master Zhao. Pay more attention and learn. Try to familiarize yourself with the government's operations as soon as possible. There's not much time left for you. You will only be staying in Traversing Moon Palace for two months. After that, I will transfer you here for a month. I am the Deacon of Jade Capital Peak's Golden Hall, after all. You will be able to put an end to some rumors once you work under me. After that, I will transfer you to the place you will be assigned to as an Advisor for three months. That way, you will be able to familiarize yourself with your superiors. After that, I will promote you to the position of Hall Master. Do you understand? "
"Understood!" Cheng Yingfei nodded and cupped his fists.
Wu Qunfang then reminded her son, "My son, Milord's words are correct. They are invaluable advice. You must remember them."
Cheng Yingfei turned around and cupped his fists. "Mother, I will remember Milord's words."
"Don't waste any more time and keep Hall Master Zhao waiting. Hurry to Traversing Moon Palace!" Miao Yi waved his hand and said.
Both mother and son thanked him profusely before leaving. Along the way, Wu Qunfang passed the recommendation letter to her son and asked him to keep it carefully. She was both excited and moved.
She didn't dare to delay Miao Yi's instructions, so she didn't let her son stay for too long. After reminding him a few more times in the courtyard, she hurried him on his way.
When Cheng Yingfei arrived at Traversing Moon Palace's Suppressing Geng Hall and met with Zhao Fei, everything went as planned. Knowing that Miao Yi had something to do, Zhao Fei immediately transferred Cheng Yingfei to an official position and appointed him as an Advisor.
After Cheng Yingfei relayed the news, Wu Qunfang felt a weight lift off her shoulders. She was indeed a little impressed by Miao Yi's capabilities. Most people wouldn't dare to accept someone with a background like theirs, let alone directly becoming a Hall Advisor. Even among the officials, how many of them could reach such a position?
Two months later, Miao Yi kept his promise and transferred Cheng Yingfei over to his side as an Advisor. This way, the family of three could see each other often.
However, he only stayed here for a month. Cheng Yingfei was then transferred to Traversing Water Palace's Self Suppression Hall to serve as an Advisor under Su Li. This was because Su Li usually couldn't control his mouth, and would often say all sorts of things behind Sikong Wuwei's back when his interests were at stake.
A few months later, Cheng Yingfei made a move against Su Li with Sikong Wuwei's support, but something went wrong. Cheng Yingfei's foundation was too shallow, and Su Li had been managing the Self Suppression Hall for many years. As a result, word got out beforehand, and Su Li escaped.
With the support of Sikong Wuwei, the Palace Lord's husband, and Miao Yi's dark hand behind the scenes, it was only natural that Cheng Yingfei became a Hall Master.
After Su Li escaped, he went to seek shelter elsewhere. No one dared to take him in. Firstly, no one wanted someone from Traversing Water Palace. Secondly, the other Hall Masters were concerned about Miao Yi's reputation, and he didn't dare to betray the Fifth Earthly Branch. With nowhere else to go, the bastard actually ran to the capital city to lodge a complaint. He accused Miao Yi of abusing his authority.
Jade Capital Peak sent him a letter, demanding an explanation from Miao Yi.
Miao Yi's reply was firm in his denial, saying that he had nothing to do with the matter at all.
At the same time, he sent a letter to Lin Pingping in the capital city, asking her to make some arrangements, and to pay a visit to his colleagues in the Martial Manor.
Soon, Su Li ran into trouble in the capital city. He got into a fight with someone for no reason, and was then arrested by the Martial Manor's men and thrown into the imperial prison. In the end, he was executed on the spot by the Martial Manor's men because he tried to escape.
He was a has-been Hall Master with no background. He died just like that, and no one tried to reverse the verdict on his behalf. Just like that, the matter of Miao Yi being accused was over.
Those who heard of this didn't believe that Su Li would dare to escape after being thrown into the imperial prison. More importantly, there was no need for him to escape. His crime didn't warrant death. Why would he escape? Wasn't that just asking for trouble?
Through this incident, many people finally understood the consequences of going against Miao Yi in the Fifth Earthly Branch. Someone from Traversing Water Palace cursed silently, saying that Su Li was courting death. He actually went to the capital city to lodge a complaint against Miao Yi. Didn't he know that Miao Yi was the Jade Capital Peak's Golden Hall Deacon? He didn't even need to make a move himself. He just killed him.
When his son became a Hall Master, Cheng Yaowei personally made a trip to the capital city after receiving the news. Wu Qunfang brought Cheng Yingwu along as well.
Standing on the tallest building in his son's palace, Cheng Yaowei looked down at the beautiful scenery around him. There were groups of palace maids attending to his son's needs, millions of followers, and the beautiful rivers and mountains, all of which revered his son. How could Flowing Clouds Dune Sea compare? The husband and wife were filled with pride. Their family's efforts had finally paid off. Now they were living the life of an elite!
However, after listening to his son's account of how Su Li tried to seize power, Cheng Yaowei realized that his son had messed things up on his first try, and even caused trouble for Miao Yi. Fortunately, Miao Yi was very resourceful and managed to kill Su Li in the capital city's imperial prison from afar. Only then did the matter settle down.
Cheng Yaowei pointed at his son and scolded him for being the Third Mistress all these years for nothing. He then turned to Wu Qunfang and scolded, "Why didn't you mention this to me in your letters?"
Wu Qunfang said helplessly, "No one told me about it either. I only found out after hearing it from Ying Fei."
This time, the whole family had once again experienced Miao Yi's power. It was indeed as Miao Yi had said before. If he could raise your son up, then he could deal with your son as well. Su Li's incident was a good example.
After finding out that the Hall Master here would only receive half of the profits, the husband and wife didn't say anything. They both knew that it wasn't easy for Miao Yi to achieve what he had done. They still had a long way to go, and they could take their time. They couldn't expect to achieve the same level as Miao Yi in a single bound.
Cheng Yaowei and his wife then went to pay their respects to Miao Yi, both to thank him and to apologize for their son's negligence.
Miao Yi smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. His foundation in the administration is still shallow, so it's understandable for him to make mistakes occasionally. It's all in the past now. Take care of yourself in the future." He didn't say that he was the one who killed Su Li. Even though everyone knew it, he wouldn't admit it.
When they were sending Cheng Yaowei off, Wu Qunfang reminded him, "First Mistress, don't come here too often in the future, and don't go to Ying Fei's place either. Our son has already proven his innocence, so don't cause him any more trouble. You should pay more attention to Lord Miao's matters in Flowing Clouds Dune Sea. He has already fulfilled his promise. "
