Text Chapter 1070: Contempt for Power
Huang Lixing immediately held up his hands and said, "Sir, when I was forced to give gifts, my shop assistants went with me. They can testify."
As a result, Miao Yi directly interjected without waiting for a question: "Are you kidding? Let the clerk in your shop testify? I can recruit hundreds of people under my command at any time to prove that I confiscated your things. Do you want to compare with who has more witnesses?"
Ding Gui felt that he was a little redundant and felt a little puzzled. He said expressionlessly: "Huang Lixing, is there any other witness?"
Huang Lixing said: "Inspection sir, the commander-in-chief is cheating."
At this moment, Ye Xungao took a step forward and said with his hands: "Inspector, please search the commander! When he forced me to pay bribes, I was angry for a while and deliberately left marks on some things given to him. , as long as you find something, it can be used as ironclad evidence!”
Miao Yi immediately glanced at me coldly, feeling a little itchy. He had actually prepared a back-up plan to deal with me a long time ago. Let's wait and see!
As soon as these words came out, both Ding Gui and Mrs. Biyue frowned. No heavenly official liked this kind of person. If they met such a gift-giver, they would be in danger of being cheated at any time.
Ding Gui looked at Miao Yi, "Commander, do you dare to accept the inspection?"
Miao Yi asked Ye Xungao: "What if I can't find what you mentioned on me?"
Ye Xungao: "If the thing is not on me, maybe it is hidden in the Grand Commander's Mansion."
He didn't expect to find anything from Miao Yi, and he didn't tamper with anything at all. How dare he do such a taboo thing? It was just a prank on Miao Yi, as long as Miao Yi was searched. Or if the Grand Commander's Mansion where he is located has been searched inside and out, it will soon spread to everyone in Tianjie. To put it bluntly, he wanted to make Miao Yi look bad.
However, Miao Yi just stared at him and asked: "If we can't find him, what crime do you deserve?"
Ye Xungao handed over to Ding Gui. "The time of introduction is entirely at the discretion of the Inspector!"
He has nothing to be afraid of. With his background and someone saying hello when he turns around, I believe Ding Gui wouldn't dare to do anything to him.
In fact, not only him, but also this group of shopkeepers are all emboldened because they have strong backgrounds behind them. Otherwise, they would not dare to confront the number one person in Tianjie. If it were Kou Wenlan, this situation would not happen at all. In other words, if the position of Tianjie Commander is not filled by someone with a considerable background. There is no way to control the large and small shops on Tianjie. No matter how powerful a person is, he cannot withstand so many powerful people working together behind his back.
Yun Zhiqiu said that it was not without reason that Miao Yi did something wrong. The matter was obvious, and Miao Yi simply could not fight against so many powerful people!
Mrs. Biyue frowned slightly. She could tell that these powerful slaves did not pay attention to Miao Yi at all. She could already imagine that even if Miao Yi could pass this test, he would be in Tianjie in the future. I'm afraid I'm constantly in trouble and it's hard to do anything!
It needs to be known that once the forces behind these people join forces to exert force. Even she has to stay back three feet! She now somewhat regrets letting Miao Yi take the position of commander-in-chief, but she never expected that Miao Yi would go against such a group of people. Otherwise, Miao Yi would not be able to continue to be the commander-in-chief with her as his backer!
But how could Miao Yi let the other party succeed, he also surrendered to Ding Gui. "If we can't find it during the search, sir, I won't bother to patrol. This unruly man will be dealt with by a lowly official!"
What a joke. If I leave it to you, I'm asking for trouble! Ye Xungao immediately counterattacked: "Commander, if you say this, you are suspected of overstepping your authority. As the subject of investigation, you should avoid suspicion. Otherwise, who knows whether you will avenge your private revenge!"
Avenging a private vendetta? Miao Yi sneered in his heart, are you also afraid of public revenge? He said: "According to your wishes, you, a unruly citizen, can trample this official at will, but I, the official of the Heavenly Court, can do nothing to you, right?"
Ye Xungao chuckled: "I didn't say that, why would the commander throw dirty water on me!"
Miao Yi snorted, "If it is found that there is something wrong with me, Niu is willing to accept any punishment. If it is not found that there is something wrong with me, I want your head! Ye Xungao, since you are sure that you can find something, do you dare?" Yes!"
How could Ye Xungao play such a bet with him? The fool also knew that nothing could be found from Miao Yi now. He cupped his hands towards Ding Gui and said: "Master Inspector, I dare to ask, is it you who is investigating the case or the commander-in-chief?" Is this person under investigation investigating a case?" After saying that, he turned around and looked behind him.
More than a dozen shopkeepers immediately raised their hands and said in unison: "Please make a decision, Lord Inspector!" This represented the collective pressure on Ding Gui from the forces behind him.
"Okay! What's the fuss about?" Mrs. Biyue burst into flames. No matter what, she would not let a group of merchants bring down the people she promoted in front of her. She had only been in office for a long time, and even if she was forced to do so, Miao Yi would have no choice but to It is not time to step down now, otherwise she would lose her face, and her husband, Marquis Tianyuan, would lose his face. "Ding Gui! Everything depends on evidence. If you have evidence, do whatever you want. If you don't have evidence, end it as soon as possible. Don't drag your feet here!"
"Yes!" Ding Gui said respectfully.
There is no way to investigate this case. When I asked the merchants if they had any evidence, they all spoke loudly. Asked Miao Yi, Miao Yi refused to admit it. Who is right and who is wrong?
Ding Gui is in a dilemma. You said there is no evidence that these merchants are making false accusations. He cannot afford to offend the power behind these merchants. And Miao Yi is protected by Mrs. Biyue. He is a subordinate of Marquis Tianyuan. , How dare you offend Mrs. Biyue.
In the end, this guy, who could not offend anyone, announced in public: "There is no real evidence. We will wait until we ask for instructions from our superiors!"
This conclusion immediately triggered protests from a group of merchants.
Ding Gui didn't want to fall into this whirlpool anymore, so he said goodbye to Mrs. Biyue on the spot, saying that he was going back to recover! He immediately ran away with the people, not wanting to stay for a moment longer!
After a group of aggrieved merchants left, Miao Yi immediately handed over to Madam Biyue and said, "Thank you Madam for taking care of me!"
Mrs. Biyue didn't know what to say to him, so she just said: "You can take care of yourself!" She estimated that the merchants would not give up. If so many forces behind them joined forces, she would not be able to protect Miao Yi, so she sighed. With a loud voice, he led the people and turned around.
As soon as he left the city guard palace, Miao Yi realized that the group of merchants had not left, but were waiting for him outside the city guard palace. Ye Xungao faced him and sneered: "Commander, denial is not a long-term solution. You... We have seen a lot of high-level officials, but we have never seen you so ignorant! Let me advise you, don’t think that you can do whatever you want with Mrs. Biyue’s backing. This is just an appetizer. The fun is yet to come. Keep your head down and obey. So soft, maybe everyone will find out that it was a misunderstanding and the matter will be over. This way, it’s good for you and everyone, so why not do it!”
Miao Yi's face was expressionless and he didn't say a word. He didn't even look at them and just dodged away in the air.
"Tsk! You're quite arrogant. It seems you won't shed tears until you see the coffin!" Someone sneered.
Another person said: "It's obvious that Mrs. Biyue is behind the matter. She is so confident!"
Huang Lixing looked back at the city guard palace and said disdainfully, "We just don't want to make things happen! Otherwise, there are many ways to deal with her. If we still don't understand, she supports Niu Youde so much, what if she becomes like Cao Wanxiang and Murong Xinghua? That way, if there is any dirty news about the lonely man and the widow, we can’t be blamed!”
Someone snickered, "She also has to save face. She has to keep it no matter what. After all, she has just been promoted in public. I'm afraid she won't let Niu Youde step down in the short term, otherwise she will be beating herself up." s face!"
Ye Xungao sneered and said: "Forget it! If you really want to make Marquis Tianyuan look bad, it will be a bit troublesome. Let's discuss the matter first. Let Niu Youde know who he is, otherwise he will really think that a bat has a hair on his body. I thought I was a bird! Let’s all join forces. Starting from today, all the small and large shops in Tianjie will be cut off from the benefits and contributions of those shrimp soldiers and crab generals. If anyone dares not to stand with us, we will let him be in Tianjie. We can't stand on our own. When Niu Youde's subordinates start to complain, and when his subordinates are all devastated, no one will support him. I wonder what he can do without this layer of tiger skin? , let’s make his life worse than death!”
Someone worried: "After all, he is still in power now. If we do this, what if we cause him to deliberately seek opportunities to cause trouble?"
Huang Lixing smiled and said: "If you dare to cause trouble, wouldn't it mean that the evidence is in our hands!"
A group of people nodded immediately, thinking that this was a good idea. It could be said that they were discussing the matter of cleaning up the leader of Tianjie in a grand place outside the city guard palace. It had to be said that it was arrogant. But this has been the case since ancient times. Once you are rich and powerful to a certain level, you will inevitably despise power after self-expansion, and want to manipulate and play with those in power to satisfy your own desires!
"Commander, how is the matter?"
After receiving the summons, Xu Tangran couldn't help but ask urgent questions as soon as he came to the Dongcheng District Commander's Mansion and saw Miao Yi.
By now, Xu Tangran also knew that someone had taken a fancy to the position of Tianjie Commander, had a conflict with Miao Yi, and was deliberately messing with Miao Yi.
He is worried too! He doesn’t have any background! Once Miao Yi is removed from power, he may not be able to hold on to his position for long. The aura of the Emperor of Heaven cannot be effective forever, especially in the face of a large number of powerful people. They are a bunch of guys who give even the Emperor of Heaven a headache. How can he? Resistance is naturally impatient!
Miao Yi had taken off his armor and was sitting in the pavilion drinking tea. He replied calmly: "As long as Mrs. Biyue is here, nothing will happen. There is no real evidence. The inspectors have left."
Xu Tangran was very uneasy and said: "Commander, I'm afraid this matter won't be settled that easily. Don't look at those guys who are usually polite and respectful, but once they don't get the benefits they want, they won't give up easily! "
"Do I need you to remind me?" Miao Yi asked back.
"Yes!" Xu Tangran nodded hurriedly and said, "Does the commander have a way to deal with it?" After several experiences with Miao Yi, he still had the last glimmer of hope for Miao Yi at this time.
Miao Yi tilted his head and gestured towards Baolian. Baolian, who had a slightly anxious face, understood that he had something private to say and immediately stepped back!
Miao Yi turned around and took out a special small crystal bottle filled with dark liquid. It was the 'evil desire' that Xu Tangran had used to fool him last time. He placed it on the table and asked, "Where did you get this?" "Did you save it after using the Wishing Power Beads?"
