Chapter 699 – Abandoned
An Zheng’s arrogance had exceeded the Prefecture Song’s expectations. He did not expect a martial artist to be so presumptuous in front of him. Furthermore, the other party’s words had trampled all over his pride.
He was an official in the capital after all. He had been sitting in this position for many years, and those people from the big families would more or less give him some face. As for An Zheng, this outsider simply went crazy.
“How much did the white tower view give you?”
An Zheng looked at the Prefecture Song and said with a sneer: “I said that you’re just a b * stard and you still don’t understand what’s going on. Your majesty has already wanted to give me the Ming Fa Si’s land, I’m the one who don’t want it. You don’t even know the difference between white tower view and my Hollow Jade Temple? Just a little bit of benefit is enough to make you lose your mind, you think the white tower view dares to go against me because of His Majesty’s orders? That’s because His Majesty still doesn’t know the ins and outs of the Hollow Jade Temple. He’s only looking foandom sect to probe his way into, yet you’ve managed to sneak in. Do you understand now why you are always in a place where you can’t climb any more? ”
“The reason I asked you to become a Prefect in this place is not because of how powerful you are, but precisely because you are an idiot, and precisely because your clan’s power is not that strong. Because you don’t have much ability, the people from the various families will feel balanced, making you sit on the seat of the Prefect. The people from the various families won’t feel threatened. And your brother, the head of the Song Family knows this … ”
An Zheng turned around, “Think about it carefully. If it really gets out of hand, you might not even be able to sit properly even after sitting for so many years.”
“You will regret it!”
Prefecture Song stood up and shouted to An Zheng.
An Zheng also did not turn his head around, and shrugged: “Master Song, what I want to do now is only a white tower view, I hope you do not throw yourself in there. You should be able to determine which is lighter and which is heavier. I’m still saying, I’m an outsider, I’m not afraid of anything, at most I’ll just turn around and leave. However, the Hollow Jade Temple has tens of thousands of years of history, so it’s not like they have to leave with their tails between their legs. They have to leave with their blood flowing like rivers. ”
Prefecture Song stood there trembling in anger. Because he was too angry, he couldn’t say a word.
An Zheng knew what kind of method to deal with such an official. A person like the Prefecture Song was not afraid of soft weapons, because he was stupid. It would be more effective to threaten him with his life than anything else if he wanted to scare him.
After exiting the main gate of the Jinling Mansion, An Zheng went straight to Jieyang Street, where all the properties of the white tower view were located. The Assistant Minister of the Department of Revenue was surnamed Tantai, so there was no need to talk about the relationship between An Zheng and Tan Taiche. Although Tan Taiche’s position within the family wasn’t high, it was enough to rope in the family for An Zheng. No one knew about Tan Taiche becoming an official in the State of Yan, but the silver that Tan Taiche gave to the family every year was enough to make the family pay a lot of attention to him.
Furthermore, Tantai Qing was not Prefecture Song. To be able to serve as Assistant Minister in the Department of Revenue, he was ten thousand times more shrewd than Prefecture Song.
In just half a day’s time, all of the white tower view’s business was closed.
There were more and more people gathering on the streets of Embroidery Yang. After all, it was a large sect with ovehousand disciples. An Zheng ordered his men to seal off all the shops, and then set a table on the street, with a box of Spirit Stones placed on top of it.
“Your lease date isn’t here yet. According to the rules, the main compensation for your losses is from your room.”
An Zheng looked at the surrounding white tower view s and said calmly: “Now that the owners of this place are all me, I will compensate you for your losses. According to the original agreement, I will pay you double the rent. “When you come here to collect the silver, don’t forget to tell me which shop you rented.”
The scene was getting bigger and bigger as more and more people gathered in the capital. Very quickly, it alarmed the people from the various great clans. They were all watching with interest as they watched how this foreign little Daoist fought with the white tower view, and they all had the intention of watching a show. However, most of them had clearly seen that the white tower view was just a chess piece used by the Emperor to probe the Hollow Jade Temple.
The first chess pieces to go forward were usually unimportant.
In a teahouse less than a hundred meters away from An Zheng, a member of the Ning Family raised his teacup and took a sip. “Interesting.
The Zhao Family member could not help but laugh, “Sucerson does not need to worry about anything. He must be a boorish man to exert so much strength.”
“I don’t think so.”
A member of the Zhou family said, “Up until now, which family hasn’t received a gift from this Taoist. And I guess that gift isn’t even enough to describe the city as such. That’s why you and I are sitting here right now, watching the show, not caring about anything at all. ”
A member of the Ning family laughed, “You are the only one who doesn’t know how to talk. This gift is available from any family, and it’s not some secret. You must tell them. However, this little Daoist knows how to conduct himself. I’ve seen the Jindan from the Hollow Jade Temple before, its quality is indeed better than any other Jindan from before. There are almost no side effects. “People in our clans need a lot of medicinal pills. The quality of the aurous core is so high that no matter how much the Hollow Jade Temple takes out, people will buy it.”
The people from the Zhou family said, “So this little Taoist is not stupid or reckless. It looks like he really did use a lot of strength, but he has already laid the groundwork. He let us all see how good the quality of the Golden-Rank pills of the Hollow Jade Temple are, so he knows that even if we don’t want a white tower view that has no value, we cannot break the Golden-Rank pills of their Hollow Jade Temple. ”
The Zhao Family man raised his teacup and indicated for them to drink the tea. As long as the Hollow Jade Temple is still in the Jinling, we must continue doing business with them.
The few of them raised their cups and turned to look outside.

Su Ruhai told Chen Wunuo about the current situation. Chen Wunuo smiled and nodded: “Let’s see who is stronger between the two barbarians. I heard that the Hollow Jade Temple’s Chen Liuxi had given Golden-Rank pills to the people of the various great clans in the capital. Furthermore, the quality of the pills were extremely high, and just by this point, the people of the other clans would not help the white tower view. ”
“But Your Majesty, it seems that he was a bit rash to rush into the Jinling Mansion.”
“How is that impudent? That would mean not holding back and directly cutting off the hidden danger.” It was a wise choice to reveal his strongest side to the factor that he did not lack. The people of the Song Family are not idiots, seeing how no one helped the people from the white tower view, do they not understand? ”
At the same time, Lan Xiaosheng was already in the Department of Revenue.
Minister of Revenue Zhou Wenju didn’t even see him. It was true that a master of the white tower view wasn’t someone that he couldn’t meet. Lan Xiaosheng waited at the Ministry of Revenue, but Tantai Qing, the Assistant Minister of Revenue, showed up in the end.
“Lord Tantai, the people from Hollow Jade Temple have gone too far in this matter.”
Lan Xiaosheng first handed over a box. Tantai Qing glanced at the box and asked, “What is it?”
“A gift.”
“Are you saying that I need to accept your kindness and then seek justice for you?”
“No, no, no. The lord has misunderstood, it really is juseart.” Of course I don’t dare to ask sire for help, I just hope that sire can act impartially. ”
“You mean, I’m not fair?”
Tantai Qing’s expression turned cold. “Since that’s the case, Temple Head Lan should look for some yamen that can handle matters impartially. Perhaps you can go to the picket hall and denounce me. If you have nothing else to say, then leave. I still have a lot of things to do. ”
Lan Xiaosheng was stunned, his face turned cold. He did not know why the attitudes of the big figures in the capital suddenly changed. Did he do something wrong this time? He smiled awkwardly, said, “Sir, you are busy, and left.” As soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw something flying out of the window. It was the gift he had left behind on the table. The box flew far away and dropped to the ground withump, as though Lan Xiaosheng had slapped him.
Lan Xiaosheng felt fear in his heart. It seemed that this matter was not developing in the direction he had expected. Are these adults stupid? I wonder what does Your Majesty find annoying about Chen Liuxi? Or should I say … Only he himself knew the reason why His Majesty was unhappy with Chen Liuxi?
In an instant, Lan Xiaosheng’s back was covered in cold sweat.
Actually, the reason why An Zheng was so angry was not only because the people from the white tower view were targeting An Zheng. When An Zheng was in Ming Fa Si, he already knew that this sect was not clean, but he didn’t have any evidence either. Furthermore, at that time An Zheng was just too busy, there were bigger cases involving him every day, and there were always bigger cases every day.
At that time, there was also a misunderstanding in An Zheng’s mind, and it was something the current An Zheng would never commit again. At that time, An Zheng had thought that there were different ways to deal with evil, so there were always ways to eliminate it. Right now, what An Zheng was thinking was, doing evil is doing evil, regardless of size. Without the shackles of the Ming Fa Si, An Zheng could do things more freely. He was no longer the voice of the law; he was merely following his own will.
On Embroidered Sun Street, Lan Xiaosheng stood at the end of the street and looked inside, but didn’t go over in the end. He still needed help, so he turned around and went to the Jinling Mansion.
There was still a chest in front of Prefecture Song. His expression was gloomy. Standing before him was an old man in embroidered clothes. Although he appeared to be in his sixties, he was actually older than he looked.
“You didn’t even take a look, other than you, who else expressed their stance?”
The old man turned and glanced at Prefecture Song, who was not convinced at all: “But he pointed at my nose and scolded me. I will not tolerate this matter no matter what.”
The old man said, “Since you’ve suffered so much, you naturally won’t go through with it for nothing. However, your grievances are not equal to your family’s grievances. Do you know where I come from? The people of Jieyang Street, Zhao Family, Zhou Family, Ning Family were there drinking tea and watching a play, inviting me to tea. What do you mean by that? What kind of show are they watching? ”
Prefecture Song: “Are you telling me to endure this?”
“No, there are still many opportunities for revenge. This is not the best time.”
The old man looked at the box in front of Prefecture Song, then actually raised his hand and kept it: “I’ll keep these things for you. I’ll naturally let Chen Liuxi personally apologize to you later on.”
With that, the old man turned and left.
Prefecture Song looked at the empty table in front of him and felt like crying but had no tears.
As for Lan Xiaosheng, he also received a closed-door meal outside the Jinling Mansion. Prefecture Song suffered so much anger and had nowhere to spread it on, so he had to do it on him. Lan Xiaosheng suddenly had a feeling that it was only for this entire day. From the moment Su Ruhai had said those words to him, he had been abandoned by the capital.
