Text Chapter 1080 Very Quiet

No matter whether things are good or bad, there will always be some adverse effects.

The first trouble that Miao Yi encountered while waiting in the Grand Commander's residence did not come from the Heavenly Court, but from Kou Wenlan's anger.

Kou Wenlan was angry for a reason. I just left Tianjie not long ago, and you raided my Kou family's shop and arrested my Kou family members. What does that mean?

Kou Wenlan said in one sentence, "I will immediately unseal the Kou family shop and return the things in the Kou family shop. I will pretend that this has never happened, otherwise don't blame me for not remembering the old friendship!"

As for the people arrested in the Kou family shop, they have submitted confessions about collusion and were released. It was also because of the reason for the release that Kou Wenlan quickly got the news. The shop owner knew the relationship between Kou Wenlan and Miao Yi, so he asked Kou Wenlan to say hello.

Miao Yi, holding the star bell under the green vine frame, sighed. At this point, before the outcome was clear, he would not unseal the sealed shop and would not return the things.

Soon, Fu Qing and the other four who were summoned came to pay their respects, "Grand Commander!"

Miao Yi took the Star Bell and asked, "Have all the arrested shops given their testimony of collusion?"

Fu Qing said, "They all gave their testimony, and the people have been released, but they are all asking when their shops will be unsealed and when the confiscated items will be returned to them."

Xu Tangran said, "Half of the suspects who escaped surrendered, and the other half were arrested after being reported by the major shops."

Miao Yi nodded, "Those who surrendered will be temporarily detained as long as they provide a confession, and those who were arrested will be dragged out and chopped! Since all those who should be arrested have been arrested, the four city gates will be opened."

"Yes!" The four agreed.

Miao Yi asked again, "What are the reactions of other shops?"

Fu Qing said, "The major shops are actively reporting to the Chamber of Commerce to link their testimonies against you."

Miao Yi nodded, feeling a little relieved. The reactions of the major shops were his barometer for testing the reactions of the higher-ups. Those shops must have contacted the masters behind them, since they had obtained the consent and cooperation of the masters behind them. The less likely things will go wrong.

To be honest, Murong Xinghua was somewhat surprised by the reactions of the major shops in Tianjie. She certainly knew that the attitudes of the major shops represented the intentions of the masters behind them. They all gave in to Niu Youde? Or are they brewing a bigger storm?

Xu Tangran was not stupid either. The current situation was favorable to them. He was secretly delighted.

In Yunrong Pavilion, in the pavilion shaded by the rockery, Yun Zhiqiu was surprised and said, "Are all the shops taking the initiative to go to the Four District Commander's Mansion to submit testimony and repent?"

The carpenters and stonemasons who had gone out to inquire about the news nodded and said, "That's right."

Yun Zhiqiu stood up slowly and leaned against the railing in silence...

Although Lord Tianyuan had told her not to intervene in the Shoucheng Palace, it was impossible for Madam Biyue not to pay attention to such a big thing.

After learning about the reactions of the shops in Tianjie, Madam Biyue was somewhat strange and slowly wandered in the garden with a frown. It can even be said that she was amazed.

Not only did the owners of the shops that were raided and executed not raise an army to punish them, but the shops representing all the rich and powerful surrendered to Niu Youde. Thousands of heads were killed, and the blood of the slaves of the rich and powerful in the Heavenly Court flowed like a river, but there was no reaction as expected. How could this happen?

After thinking for a while, she took out the star bell. No matter what, she had to report the situation here to Lord Tianyuan as soon as possible so that her man could grasp the changes in the situation and make a decision.

After informing the general situation here. Madam Biyue couldn't help asking: Is there anyone putting pressure on you?

Tianyuan: It was very quiet. Even the Star Lord only asked about the incident and had no intention of intervening.

Madam Biyue was surprised: How could this happen? When did Niu Youde come to such a big face? Could it be that King Kou came forward?

Tianyuan: You! I can't tell you clearly now. It's hard to say until the end. As I said, don't interfere in the affairs of Tianjie for the time being. That Niu Youde is smarter than you. Don't make things worse!

Being despised, Madam Bi Yue was angry: Tian Yuan, stop being so mysterious, what the hell are you doing?

Tian Yuan: I told you that it is not clear now, but things will probably become clear after the court meeting in the Heavenly Court. Don't do anything before I tell you, otherwise whatever you do may be wrong!

Qiong Xing. Tian Wang Mansion, Sanben Hall. Behind the long case, an old man with silver hair leaned on a chair, flipping through the jade plates on the table.

He looked old, but his frame was quite large. His slightly wrinkled face vaguely showed his handsomeness when he was young. His momentum was restrained, and he looked like an ordinary old man. Only when his eyes occasionally turned over, the brilliance flashed and frightened people, which showed his inner extraordinaryness. There was a little golden cloud pattern on his forehead, which was not a tattoo or a birthmark, but a symbol of the transformation of the spiritual platform from virtual to real.

This person was none other than Kou Lingxu, the King of Kou among the Four Heavenly Kings.

Standing beside him with his hands behind his back was his old servant, Old Tang, with a weathered face and calm as still water. There was also a Dharma image that turned from virtual to real on his brows, a water-colored pattern.

Opposite the long table stood the three brothers Kou Zheng, Kou Qin, and Kou Mian, who also stood quietly, paying attention to their father Kou Lingxu's actions.

After a while, after looking at the things his eldest son had been dealing with recently, Kou Lingxu casually put the last jade disc back on the table, looked at the three sons standing below, and then turned his head to look at the old servant beside him, and asked: "Old Tang, Wen Lan won the first place in the last assessment. You seemed to have told me that Wen Lan's subordinate was good."

"Yes!" Old Tang bowed slightly and said: "It's Niu Youde."

King Kou Tian tilted his body and asked, "I asked you to tell Lao San, have you said it?"

Old Tang replied: "I told the third master, and the relevant people also called for the third master to question."

King Kou Tian, ​​who was leaning on the chair, looked up at the roof and asked lightly: "San'er, what do you think of the person that Old Tang introduced to Wen Lan?"

Kou Mian immediately held up his hands and said, "This is a material that can be made."

King Kou Tian said, turning his head and looking, "It seems that that person is still in Tianyuan Star and has not left with Wen Lan, right? I heard that that person caused some trouble in Tianyuan Star recently and raided all our shops. Yes, is this the case?"

The eldest son Kou Zheng immediately raised his hand and answered, "Dad! This matter has nothing to do with the third child. The third child came to me in order to help Wen Lan get this person. I also personally came to find people from the Ying family, but the winner refused to let him go. If you have to arrange for someone to be our governor, it’s an exorbitant price, so I refused.”

King Kou Tian squinted at his eldest son, resting his hand on the chair, tapping the armrest with his five fingers, and asked: "Our shop was raided by that kid, how are you going to get it back?"

Kou Zheng replied: "My son has already told me. If the other side is willing to take the initiative to return it to us, we will take it. If they refuse to let go, forget it. Just be silent and don't say anything. At this time, it is better to have less to do than to have more to do. Taking a loss is not necessarily a bad thing.”

"Well!" King Kou Tian looked at his eldest son with a slight admiration in his eyes and nodded slightly. He seemed to be satisfied with Kou Zheng's way of handling it, and asked again: "How can a commander with no power or background force the Kou family?" Suffering the disadvantage of being mute can force all the powerful people in heaven to not say a word, and can force no one to dare to do anything to him. If you think the price is too high for a person like this to have the position of domination, then what position do you think you should exchange for it? suitable?"

Kou Zheng smiled bitterly, "My son regrets it now. Now it seems that Niu Youde is indeed worth the price, but some things have not been tested, and it is difficult to judge the value. After all, his cultivation lies there."

King Kou Tian stood up with his hands on the armrests and sighed: "What a pity!"

Kou Zheng cupped his hands and said, "I'll talk to the Ying family later."

King Kou Tian waved his hand: "Forget it! Now even if you agree to exchange for a position as a governor, the Ying family will not agree. If you go to find someone else, you will really have to raise prices all over the sky. Why bother to go there again? Take it as a shame. Let Wen Lan maintain the friendship with you and see if you can bring him over when the opportunity arises." He shook his head and led Old Tang away from Sanbentang.

After hearing this conversation, Kou Qin and Kou Mian looked at each other. How could a Niu Youde deserve the position of Dutong? If Dutong takes another big step forward, he will be ranked as a lord of the Immortal Class.

Kou Qin was better, but Kou Mian felt regretful. His son had such a big help, but he missed it. He should have listened to his son and persisted. Now it seems that his son is better than I have more discernment...

It is not surprising that farmers are working in the forest and mulberry fields, but what is strange is that a group of women are working in the large green farmland, and they are a group of women who look like gods.

Hundreds of heavenly beauties, with delicate skin and tender flesh, gave up their fine clothes and wore coarse cloth clothes with their cuffs rolled up, making a stylish appearance in the farmland.

Such a situation, looking at it, can be said to be a rare spectacle in the world.

Not all women were in the farmland. There was also one man. There was only one man in green clothes. He was tall and had long arms and legs. The simply pulled up bun is dotted with strands of white hair, three long strands of beard, thick eyebrows, big eyes, deep gaze, a blue thunderbolt pattern between the eyebrows, but he is holding a hoe in his hand to hoe the ground skillfully, which would be difficult to conceal if it weren't for it. With his aura, anyone would mistake him for an ordinary farmer.

Two figures descended from the sky, flashed, and landed under the shade of a tree in the farmland. One of them has a fair complexion, a long and thin face, a black robe on his shoulders, a black hat on his head, and a cold face. He is none other than Gao Guan, the right envoy of the Heavenly Court Supervisor.

The other person who came with him was none other than Marquis Tianyuan.

The two stood quietly side by side, looking at the men farming in the fields.

Less than half an hour later, the man in Tsing Yi who finally finished hoeing a piece of land walked up the field ridge with the hoe on his shoulders and walked towards the woods here. A woman in a Jingchai sarong in an adjacent field looked up, immediately put down what she was doing, carried a basket, and followed quickly. (To be continued)
