Chapter 326 Reaction afterwards(1/3)
PS: It’s a new month, please give me a guaranteed monthly pass! The monthly pass at the beginning of the month is very important, please help.
In addition, the update time has been changed to before 12 noon. Mainly because I stayed up too late and my family complained.
※※※※
A few days later, at the Dongzhou Governor's Mansion, Governor Wang Sheng looked at Dongzhou Inspector Xia Houyuan in front of him with some upset eyes.
His eyes were a little impatient and his tone was very rude.
"Lord Xiahou, why are you here today?"
Xia Houyuan smiled bitterly when he heard this. He knew that his actions would indeed be disliked.
"My Lord Governor, if you can think of a solution for your humble position, I don't want to trouble you. The problem is that this case can no longer be suppressed. The people in the Six-door Suzaku Hall are like evil ghosts demanding life, pressing forward step by step. If
If we don’t take action, things will go very wrong.”
"Sikong Chan's conspiracy is already an ironclad case. There are both witnesses and material evidence. How can we allow them to overturn it?"
Governor Wang Sheng was even more unhappy.
This was not only due to the incompetent Xia Houyuan in front of him, but also due to the pressure from the imperial court's Ministry of Justice.
The case of Sikong Chan, the governor of Xiushui County, colluding with local wealthy families to commit rebellion has been settled, and the files have been submitted to Dali Temple for closure.
However, Chu Tulai from the Criminal Department of the imperial court had a lot of trouble and took the case files back to the Criminal Department, saying that they wanted to retry it.
He glared at Xia Houyuan, his eyes like swords: "Master Xiahou, you are also an old criminal. All the files, all the witnesses and material evidence about the Xiushui County case were supervised by you personally, Mr. Xiahou, and you tried your best to determine it."
What are you afraid of?"
Xia Houyuan's throat went dry, and he realized that Wang Sheng's dissatisfaction with him had reached its extreme.
He swallowed and looked sincerely: "Sir, there is nothing wrong with the file and the physical evidence, but how can anything in this world be foolproof? What I'm afraid of is that others will investigate more seriously.
The six gates are backed by Chu Tathagata and have collected a lot of personal and material evidence. In addition, according to the information obtained by the official, Suzaku Hall has an unexpected helper, the former owner of Dongzhou Lunwu Building, a fourth-grade divine machine.
The Bachelor’s Wang Chaoyang.”
"Wang Chaoyang?" Governor Wang Sheng was slightly startled, his eyes gradually becoming serious.
Lun Wu Lou is the eyes and ears of the imperial court, monitoring the martial arts world, and has a large number of spies and information channels.
As the head of Dongzhou Lunwu Tower at that time, Wang Chaoyang must have had a lot of information and evidence about the Xiushui case.
So Xia Houyuan really can't be blamed for this matter.
"Just seven days ago, this person was invited by Chu Tathagata to the Chu Mansion to meet Chu Tathagata."
Xia Houyuan sighed: "In addition, Zhuque Hall has also found many surviving aristocratic families in Xiushui County, and there are also some local officials who do not know the rules to cooperate. Although the evidence they have now is not enough to overturn the case, it is enough
Let’s compete with us in the court.”
Governor Wang Sheng understood what he meant.
The situation in this arena is going to be bad once the fight starts.
After all, what is true cannot be false, and what is false cannot be true.
Even if they are lucky enough to suppress the case, they will cause a lot of trouble.
Wang Sheng couldn't help but have a headache.
He never expected that the case in Xiushui County would be related to the Chu family in western Beijing.
Who would have thought that Chu Xisheng and Chu Ming, the legitimate daughter of the Chu family, would both be candidates for the "Yai Can" of the Wuxiang Divine Sect, leading Chu Rulai, the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment, to intervene in the case.
He was even more annoyed in his heart: "This Chu Tathagata, who usually relies on the emperor's favor to do mischief in the court, now bullies me and others. Does he want to force the Iron Banner Gang to rebel?"
This case in Xiushui County was not something he wanted to do.
At that time, the Iron Banner Gang was extremely powerful, affecting several counties, and behind it stood the Wuxiang Shenzong.
If we don't pin the blame on Sikong Chan and others, will we allow the situation to expand and make it impossible to end it?
The key is that Sikong Chan himself was not upright and was suspected of fabricating accusations and framing, which made the Dongzhou officialdom unable to stand up in front of Qing Xuzi and had to give in.
Therefore, Wang Sheng was extremely angry with Chu Tathagata. It is impossible that this person did not know the reason, but he still intervened brazenly with the intention of overturning the case of the Xiushui County gentry.
This has broken the rules and is an enemy of the entire Dongzhou officialdom!
Wang Sheng couldn't help but think of the increasingly fierce struggle among the kings in the court.
Chu Tathagata's willingness to risk the disapproval of the officialdom this time should not only be due to the dispute between Chu Ming and Chu Xisheng's 'Blood Jade Sacred Legend'.
Wang Sheng has smelled the smell of party strife, and Chu Tulai is attacking him as a political enemy, the governor of Dongzhou!
"Master Xiahou, please go back first."
Governor Wang Sheng's eyes showed a cold and stern look: "I will find a way to solve this matter. If they want to overturn the case, it will not be easy -"
Since the matter involves party strife, he can no longer sit back and watch, and some means behind the scenes have to be used.
Xia Houyuan felt relieved after hearing this, and just as he was about to stand up and leave, he saw a young man walking in hastily.
That was exactly what the Governor-General proposed to join the army, and he was one of the staff members who was most valued by Wang Sheng.
After this person came in, he handed several pieces of letter paper to Wang Sheng.
"Sir Governor, this is an urgent message from the north. The young banner leader of the Iron Banner Gang is really amazing. This man has only been in the North for two months, but he has done such a big thing and stirred up the world."
"The leader of the Iron Banner Gang?"
Chu Xisheng, the banner leader of the Iron Banner Gang, is naturally a powerful person.
Governor Wang Sheng has read the new issue of "Tianji Wupu" a few days ago.
This person has been ranked twenty-ninth on the Qingyun Ranking, the chief of the Ten Great Swordsmen of Shenxiu, and ranks among the Super Heavenly Pillar Forest.
It is said that the Wuxiang Shenzong valued Chu Xisheng far more than Chu Ming.
This is one of the reasons why Wang Sheng did not want Xiu Shui's case to be overturned by the Ministry of Punishment.
This is not only related to his own reputation and future, but will also offend Chu Xisheng and the Wuxiang Shenzong.
Wang Sheng took the letter from his hand with some doubts about joining the army.
He wondered in his mind what big things Chu Xisheng could do?
Did he kill another one of the top ten heroes, or defeat a Tianzhu level? This is not a big deal, let alone stir up the world.
When Wang Sheng picked up the letter and looked at it carefully for a while, his pupils suddenly shrank and his breathing became rapid.
His eyes were incredible, and he read it word for word with great concentration, and then read it several times.
After a long time, the Governor of Dongzhou put down the letter in a daze. His face changed from green to white: "Wood Sword Immortal ascended to the gods? What a Chu Yidao, he has done great things -"
The Governor of Dongzhou thought that this was more than just stirring up troubles in the world. It was simply breaking a corner of the world.
Today, there is a new god in the world.
Not only was this ancient giant god born, but he also mastered the extremely powerful "Heaven-cutting" method, and his combat power was close to that of the most powerful gods.
Wang Sheng then became happy again, which was a great joy for Dongzhou at present.
He thought for a moment, then threw the letter in his hand to Dongzhou Inspector Xia Houyuan: "Take a look."
Xia Houyuan had long been curious about the contents of this letter.
After he took it, he looked through it at a glance.
After a moment, Xia Houyuan's face was filled with panic: "Mr. Governor, do you know whether this news is true or false?"
He instinctively realized the impact that the Wood Sword Immortal's ascension to the gods would have on the entire world and the entire Dongzhou officialdom.
Xia Houyuan originally had some intention of turning to the Chu family in the west of Beijing.
Because of the murder of his beloved son, Xia Houyuan actually hated Chu Xisheng and the Iron Banner Gang deeply.
He did not want to offend the Chu family in Western Beijing.
It was only because he was worried that if the case was overturned that both himself and the Xiahou family might be destroyed, Xiahou Yuan forced himself to support himself.
At this moment, his heart sank, knowing that he should throw away all those thoughts he shouldn't have.
The Chu family in the west of Beijing is certainly a top martial arts clan with great wealth; Chu Tathagata himself is a second-rank high-ranking official in the court.
But now, behind the Iron Banner Gang man, there is a real 'god' standing.
However, the dilemma they are facing now can be easily solved.
"This is the news delivered by Prince Yong's Mansion in Wang'an City." Consultant Joining the Army shook his head: "How could it be false news?"
Governor Wang Sheng's eyes were cold and stern: "Sir Xiahou, I will start to solve the problem of Wang Chaoyang, the former owner of Lunwu Tower in Dongzhou, colluding with the Ministry of Punishment. I will have to trouble Mr. Xiahou about the local troubles in Xiushui and Xunyang counties."
This Wang Chaoyang dared to get involved in Sikong Chan's conspiracy and helped Chu Tathagata to become his enemy. He really didn't know whether to live or die.
Why couldn't he care about Chu Tathagata? How could he care less about a reviled fourth-grade scholar of divine mechanics?
Xia Houyuan's expression perked up, and he said decisively without hesitation: "It is my duty to serve as an official!"
In the past, he was afraid of taking action against the local bureaucrats and arresters who turned to the Ministry of Punishment and the Suzaku Hall.
Now I no longer have such scruples.
