Text Chapter 1320 Tianyuan Hou Puts Pressure On

“…”Miao Yi was speechless.

Hearing Yan Xiu’s words, it seemed that his way of cultivation was indeed more in line with the name of the ‘Yinhun Tongyang Jue’ technique.

Could it be that this guy had really found the authentic method of practicing the Yinhun Tongyang Jue by accident? This was too incredible!

If this was true, I wonder how the Ghost Saint Situ Xiao and others would feel after knowing it.

At this time, Miao Yi looked at Yan Xiu as if he was looking at a monster.

Even if he had never done this, he had heard how painful it was to do it. From a living person to a dead person, it was said that the taste was really worse than death, and few people could survive this. Not to mention anything else, just based on Yan Xiu’s screaming here for nearly two hundred years, the pain can be imagined.

Short-term pain can be overcome by gritting your teeth, but long-term pain is hard to endure! As the saying goes, long pain is worse than short pain, this is the truth.

Miao Yi really couldn't imagine how this guy survived. How much perseverance and faith could support him to survive for nearly two hundred years? This damn guy knew that this road was almost dead, but he insisted on taking this dead end and actually made it through. What can we say!

He Miao Yi was purely holding a supportive attitude at the beginning, and had already prepared for Yan Xiu's death. He heard that Yan Xiu was not moving, and this time he ran here to collect Yan Xiu's body. Who would have thought that Yan Xiu was not dead, who would have thought that he really helped Yan Xiu, otherwise he would have come alone and would not let Fu Qing and others follow to see this scene. It was really a ghost.

"Yan Xiu, what are you doing?" Fu Qing couldn't help asking with a look of doubt.

Ying Wudi also asked this question, and he doubted whether Yan Xiu had practiced the ghost cultivation method from life to death. But according to reason, he should have become a ghost cultivator, but what was going on with Yan Xiu's ghost and human?

Miao Yi raised his hand to stop him, "Don't ask about this anymore. Second brother, third brother, I brought you here because I trust you. What I saw today is limited to you two. Don't let other people know. I don't want this to be spread."

Fu Qing and Ying Wudi looked at each other and nodded, "Yes!"

"Pack up and go!" Miao Yi threw down the words and turned away with his sword.

Fu Qing and Ying Wudi looked at Yan Xiu, who was neither human nor ghost, and suddenly saw Yan Xiu smiled at them strangely, which was very different from Yan Xiu's previous smile. The two of them felt a chill and quickly turned around and followed Miao Yi.

A few people stood outside the tomb and waited for a while, and then they saw Yan Xiu, who had re-tied his hair and neatly tied it up, walked out lightly.

It happened that a slanting sun shone down from the gap between the tree canopy and shone on Yan Xiu's face who had just walked out of the tomb. Suddenly seeing the sun, Yan Xiu subconsciously raised his sleeves to cover his face. It seemed that he was still a little uncomfortable with the strong light or for some other reason. Later, he was seen slowly putting down his sleeves.

Several people turned their heads to look at him, and saw that he didn't look much different from before, but his skin was still very white, and it seemed that there was no blood color. And the nails on the ten fingers of his hands were shiny blue-black, and sharp.

Yan Xiu, who put down his sleeves, smiled again. It was still indescribably weird. I always felt that there was a mixture of crying in this smile, and it was creepy. I don't know if it was the pain and torture that had been endured for nearly two hundred years that made another taste in his expression fixed.

In short, even Miao Yi felt a chill this time, and quickly turned back, "Let's go!"

A group of people flew away.

Since they came to Wuxiang Star, Miao Yi took them to visit the Zhengqi Sect of Wuxiang Star, and had a small chat with the head of the sect, Yu Ling Zhenren, before returning.

The star gate on the way back was still guarded by someone. They were searching other pedestrians, and seemed to deliberately make things difficult for Miao Yi and his party. Miao Yi contacted Murong Xinghua again to avoid trouble and pass through smoothly.

I don't know what's going on, Miao Yi always feels that there is something fishy about this group of people searching. Logically, these people should be going through the motions, so why are they so serious about the search?

After returning to the Shoucheng Palace for half a month, Miao Yi gradually discovered something was wrong.

Someone reported that the customer flow in Tianjie was gradually decreasing. This affected the business of Tianjie shops.

After all, the contact here is not comprehensive, but it is vaguely suspected that it is related to the search. Yang Qing even suspected that Tianyuan Hou was deliberately playing tricks to put pressure on Madam Biyue, so that Miao Yi could test how Madam Biyue and Tianyuan Hou were getting along.

Miao Yi could directly ask Biyue about this matter, and there was no need to test it. However, Yang Qing had no idea what was going on between Miao Yi and Biyue, but he had some suspicions.

Who knew that there was no need to ask more. Biyue had already come here in person.

In the Shoucheng Palace, Hai Pingxin hid immediately when she saw Biyue.

"Bring tea! I said, little girl, didn't you hear me when I asked you to bring tea?" Miao Yi, who was sitting in the pavilion with Bi Yue, turned around and called out a few times. Hai Pingxin ignored him and didn't come out. Miao Yi turned around and said, "Look, there are subordinates like this? It's a mess."

"Hey!" Bi Yue waved her hand, her expression was quite bitter, and said, "Forget it, don't force her. I feel relieved to know that she is fine. Why did you let her do the rough work of serving tea and water?" The last sentence was a bit resentful, as if doing the work of a servant was unfair to her daughter.

Miao Yi said, "Madam, she must have an identity to cover up and do something here, right? You have watched her grow up since she was a child. Tell me what she can do and what she can do? She is ignorant of the world and can't do anything. She can only do this. If she doesn't do anything and stays here, who will not be suspicious? Even if she does this, you have seen that she does it when she wants to, and doesn't do it when she doesn't want to. I didn't force her at all."

"From Xiaoyi to reaching for food and opening mouth, it is true that I have never done anything." Biyue sighed softly and added: "Don't call me 'Madam' again in the future."

Miao Yi was stunned for a moment, understood, nodded and said, "I know." He turned around and called again, "Yan Xiu, serve tea."

Soon, the light and silent Yan Xiu came over, offered tea and stood aside.

Miao Yi waved his hand to signal him to leave, and then signaled to Biyue to invite him to have some tea, and then asked: "Sir, are you here to see what your heart is like? Do you want me to find a way to make a deal?"

Biyue waved her hand: "Don't force it. Wanting to see her is just secondary. The important point is to receive a report from below. Recently, the passenger flow of Tianjie has dropped sharply, which has affected the sales of major shops in Tianjie. I just came out to go there. I’ve been touring all the streets, and this is the last stop.”

Miao Yi asked: "Have you found the reason? I wonder if Marquis Tianyuan is deliberately causing trouble."

Biyue said: "Yes, it is indeed Tianyuan who is causing trouble. He has deliberately restricted the flow of people in the areas under my command. Only Donghua Town Hall has this trouble. Other areas under Tianyuan's command have not been affected. I guess He also colluded with some people, and some shops have already spread the word, saying that Tianting’s actions have affected their business and asking for tax exemptions this year.”

Miao Yi asked strangely: "Tax reduction or exemption? It's impossible. The control here is stricter than other Tianjie. Any trouble can't escape my eyes. Why didn't I hear the news here?"

Biyue rolled her eyes, "You also know that you have strict control here? Even if the shops below you want to say it, will anyone dare to say it out? They have been bloodbathed by you twice!"

"..." Miao Yi choked up, then smiled dryly and touched his nose. He didn't know whether he was praising himself or sarcastically saying this, and said with a smile: "Those shops just need to be cleaned up. They behaved after cleaning them up twice. Tax reduction and exemption are a loss for them." You can figure it out.”

Biyue sighed: "This is Tianyuan putting pressure on me! Once the taxes cannot be paid, the higher ups will definitely hold me accountable. I have contacted Tianyuan to discuss it, and Tianyuan said that he was acting on orders and said that if I have any objections, let me talk to him. He said hello from above, and he would immediately cooperate as soon as the higher-ups ordered to relax inspections.”

Miao Yi was silent. The tax revenue of the entire town government was not a small amount. Bi Yue was afraid that this hole could not be filled even if he wanted to. With Tian Yuan exerting such pressure, Bi Yue was afraid that it would be difficult not to give in. Tian Yuan took advantage of the situation to do this. Who could Nothing can be said about him.

The most important thing is that without Tianyuan's help to speak up, Biyue would have no ability to communicate with the superiors, and it is impossible for the superiors to agree. Once the order is given to Tianyuan to relax inspections, some people are afraid that they will immediately find reasons why they cannot catch the culprits. , how could the high-level struggle be disrupted because of a blue moon?

If it is said that because of this, tax reduction and exemption can be obtained from other places without being affected by inspections, do you think you have more reasons?

Miao Yi secretly sighed. Tian Yuan's move was quite cruel. This time it really gave Bi Yue a big problem. He grabbed Bi Yue's neck as soon as he made the move. It would be difficult for Bi Yue not to lie at Tian Yuan's feet this time. , he, Miao Yi, couldn't control Tianyuan's power. Even if he contacted Gao Guan, Gao Guan would definitely not have the guts to ask Tianyuan to relax his inspection.

The two chatted for a while, Miao Yi asked Bi Yue to take a break, and then withdrew.

Biyue settled here, and since there were differences between men and women, it was hard for him to live in the harem anymore.

As soon as they left the harem, Yang Qing, who was waiting outside, came over and asked, "Sir, why is the main town here?"

"What else could it be for? You really guessed it. Sure enough, Tian Yuan was up to something to put pressure on the town. This old thief was actually manipulating taxes..." Miao Yi shook his head after explaining the general situation. , sighed: "Taxation is related to the expenses of the whole heaven. We can't afford to delay this kind of matter. If something happens, few people can take the responsibility! Mad, what I'm worried about now is whether Tianyuan will take me too. Once I can't pay my taxes, someone from above will take the opportunity to find fault with me. I can't fill such a big hole myself, right?"

"Haha!" Yang Qing suddenly shook his head and laughed.

Miao Yi was surprised: "Why are you laughing?"

Yang Qing smiled and said: "My lord, why should you worry too much? This is just a small trick, and I can trust you to defeat it!"

Miao Yi's eyes lit up and he quickly asked, "How?"

Yang Qing smiled and said: "We are not as powerful as his Tianyuan, but we can take advantage of the situation. He can do big things in his big territory, and we can do small things in our small territory. Doesn't he want to inspect? Let's cooperate with him to inspect. Your Excellency, please suggest that the Lord of the General Town come up with a plan to kill everyone! If Tianyuan likes to cut off the flow of customers, then we should kill him completely so that there will be no customers in all Tianjie in the Donghua Town. Enemy, we have every reason to suspect that the robbers will come to Tianjie to cause trouble, and we will conduct a strict investigation and drive away all travelers. If we want to make trouble, make the matter bigger. If we can't pay taxes, everyone will share the responsibility. I believe Let’s see how many days the dignitaries of the Manchu Dynasty can bear this loss, and see if Marquis Tianyuan can withstand this pressure!” (To be continued.)
