Chapter 159: Abnormal and The dust settles

A person will only know fear or pain after being beaten. And the emperor is no exception to this.

After investigating for a long time, The Chief of Investigation didn’t find any remaining evidence. Let alone, any hard evidence that can relate this matter to Xiao Tianyao. So, the emperor couldn’t do anything to him.

Seeing the situation getting more and more chaotic in the country. In order to secure the safety of the citizen. The emperor had no choice but to step back.

After severely punishing Provincial Governor Jiu Mei, Viscount Wang, and General Zhen Yuan. The Emperor ordered the Dali Temple to further investigate Xiao Tianyao’s imprisoned confidants. If they were really guilty of their crime, they will be dismissed from their position. But, if there is no sufficient evidence, they will be released.

Every day, the confidants and their family were being tormented. So, they thought they will all going to die. But after ten days, they were released because they were all proven, innocents.

After getting out from the prison, the confidants learns the ins and outs of the event. So, they couldn’t help but feel thankful to Xiao Tianyao. And they become more and more determined to follow him.

During the critical moment, Xiao Wangye didn’t abandon them. Such master is worth dying for.

These confidants are solid generals of the East country’s army. So, since they were proven not guilty, they all naturally resume their old position. Although the Emperor is not happy about this, at this point in time, he really doesn’t want to get in more trouble. So, in order to appease Xiao Tianyao. The Emperor appointed them back to the army and assigned them to the front line.

The situation in the capital has finally calmed down. But, the war was still very tight. And so, the Emperor appointed Eminent Xu as the Great General that will lead the 500,000 troops to the border to defeat the Northern Army.

To increase the morale of the soldiers, the Emperor personally went to see the practice of the army with Eminent Xu. And then, he wishes them to victory.

After the army departs, the Emperor had a temporary peace of mind regarding Northern army’s invasion. And now, he can focus on the civil strife that happened because of that “list of evidence”.

Under the great pressure of the Emperor, the public opinion in the capital has changed from the heinous crime of the government officials to the war between East and North. And ever since then, no one has dared to talk about the old topic.

However, those easy and good citizens are not Xiao Tianyao. Xiao Tianyao still has something in his hands that can shake the East government officials. The Emperor doesn’t want to encounter another chaos, but he also doesn’t want to get threatened again by Xiao Tianyao. He must get those things back, but… …

How will Zhen get it?

Every time he was being threatened by Xiao Tianyao. He feels like eating a fly, so he couldn’t help but feel disgusted. His hate towards Tiancang Pavillion also deepen.

“Zhen cannot believe it, but how could you?” The Emperor slammed the table as his eyes flashed with coldness… …

After the successful counterattack and after forcing the emperor to give in. Although tired, Su Cha and Liu Bai were very happy. However, they also cannot help but worry: “The Emperor ate a big loss, he will surely find another way.”

Liu Bai nodded his head: “The evidence in our hands is a double-edged sword. To fight them, we may also get hurt. If those palace ministers learned that there were still other evidence, I’m afraid they will get desperate.”

“We must deal with them as soon as possible. Otherwise, we will really get in trouble.” Su Cha has a calm face, but his eyes flashed with worry.

As the saying goes, if you provoke a devil, the consequence will not be light. So, if they really want to push those people to the cliff, they must prepare a crazy plan.

Xiao Tianyao keeps listening to Su Cha and Liu Bai’s conversation. But, when they finished, he opens his mouth and said: “Burn.”

“Huh?” Su Cha felt surprised and thought he’s having a hallucination.

“Burn and spread a news tonight!” Xiao Tianyao said because he also didn’t intend to sweep away all the palace ministers.

Those people are really a scam, but who can guarantee that the new recruit officials will not be a scam?

So, instead of nurturing a new group of hungry ghost to consume the people’s flesh and blood. It’s better to let these current group stay full.

“Burn them all? No exception?” Liu Bai asked in distressed.

We paid thousand of silvers ah.

“Burn them all.” Xiao Tianyao said casually.

With one hundred thousand of silvers, he reclaimed all of his confidants, so it’s all worth it!

Those list of evidence is no longer useful. It is only now a hot potato in their hands. Because if they won’t deal with them immediately, they will really get in trouble.

The same night, Su Cha and Liu Bai formulate a plan. And then, they quietly ordered some people to spread a news saying: Xiao Wangye’s bought information to Tiancang Pavillion got all burned.

On the same night, on the east side of the capital, the Anping Bookstore caught on fire, but no one gets killed or injured.

After investigating, they learned that the bookstore owner was a foreigner. However, after the fire, no one came to report or came forward to claim the bookstore was his.

So, everyone made a guess, that the bookstore owner must be Xiao Wangye. And all those things that got burned are not books, but the list of evidence.

Of course, some people did not believe it. And one of them is the Emperor. Why will Xiao Tianyao burn the things that can threaten him and his people? So, to verify it, the Emperor sent someone to Tiancang Pavillion.

Tiancang Pavillion vaguely repeated what Xiao Tianyao had spread. Xiao Wangye really burned all the evidence, so you can now feel at ease.

Although the Tiancang Pavilion was a sly organization, they never gave false news. So, when the palace ministers heard it, they felt relieved. They can finally sleep peacefully. They no longer need to think how are they going to kill Xiao Tianyao. Everything went back to normal, but… …

“Why did Tiancang Pavillion just vaguely repeated Tianyao’s words?” The Emperor was very upset. He finally managed to corner Xiao Tianyao because of those confidants, but everything turns into bubbles.

“Tiancang Pavillion has always been afraid of Xiao Wangye. They must have done it to make up for selling him off before.” The Chief of Investigation said his own speculation.

This speculation is not wrong, but …

Before, Tiancang Pavillion is not a bit scared of Xiao Tianyao, so how come they suddenly compromise with him?

What did they discover?

“Did they learn something about Tianyao’s condition?” Tiancang Pavillion will not be afraid of Xiao Tianyao, unless… …

His legs were healed!

*

The Emperor’s guess is not wrong. Because Xiao Tianyao’s legs are now completely healed!

Lin Chujiu also couldn’t understand it: How could his wounds recover this fast?

“This is impossible!” How many days has it been?

Ten days have only passed, but Xiao Tianyao’s legs completely got healed without sutures… …

This is simply a God-like ability!

“Nothing is impossible.” At this very moment, Xiao Tianyao can already abandon his wheelchair and stand up directly. But, he is not doing so, to deceive the public.

“This is beyond my common sense ah.” Even though the fact is already in front of her. Lin Chujiu can’t still understand it.

This is too unscientific!

After all, how can a normal person recover so fast? This is simply a proof that Xiao Tianyao is a masochist!

Lin Chujiu’s stunned image was very pleasing to Xiao Tianyao’s eyes. But, after remembering how Lin Chujiu spoiled his body before, Xiao Tianyao said with a very serious face: “This… … Right after seeing it, you shouldn’t judge benwang’s body by merely using common sense. Later on, you can’t curse benwang right under his nose, to be made fun by others.”

“You … …” Curse your sister!

Lin Chujiu’s cheeks blush.

She is angry, but she also feels shy.

She seems like a dog that trying to catch a mouse ah. She will be in charge of his rehabilitation in the future, so she might as well tried to write her surname upside down… …
