Transcending the Nine Heavens

!

Cheng Zi Ang softly jumped down from the horse and walked forward.
With a nod, he said, “Official Lian, what a coincidence.
We meet again.”

Lian Cheng Gui wanted to cry.
What kind of coincidence is this? In this entire citadel, the person everyone hates to run into most is you.
Seeing you is definitely not a good thing!

“Cheng… Official Cheng.” Lian Cheng Gui’s voice was a little trembled.
He greeted Cheng Zi Ang and asked, “This is…”

“We were ordered by the minister to take your entire family, young and old, for a drink.” Cheng Zi Ang said gently, “Just a drink, I hope Official Lian will cooperate.”

“A drink…” Lian Cheng Gui’s saw the world collapse in front of his eyes.
When Cheng Zi Ang arrested more than a dozen officials before, he also said the same thing.

“What crime did I commit?” Lian Cheng Gui held onto a last ray of hope, “I want to see the emperor! I want to see the emperor! I am an important official in the royal court; you people in Bu Tian Pavilion do not have the power to arrest me!”

“The minister said that his target is not you; there is just something that made him curious…” Cheng Zi Ang sighed.

“What? Curious?” Lian Cheng Gui trembled.

“What made King of Hell Chu curious? I… While I am the minister of revenue, I don’t think I am worthy of that…”

“Ah, it’s nothing.” Cheng Zi Ang said casually, “He heard that the young master tossed out one hundred fifty thousand silver taels just to hear a beauty’s melody… Official Lian, this really made the minister curious.”

“Not just the minister, even I am curious.
Official Lian really has deep pockets.
Tsk, tsk, one hundred fifty thousand silver taels to hear one melody… According to my knowledge, your monthly salary is only eighty silver taels! In a year, you don’t even make a thousand taels.” Cheng Zi Ang said, “Official Lian, to hear a melody, the young master did not hesitate to spend your hard-earned money of two hundred years…”

“This is slander!” Lian Cheng Gui’s body was cold with sweat.
His vision become blurred as he tried to deny the charge, “How can there be such a thing?!”

“Official Lian, did the young master did not tell you?…” Cheng Zi Ang winked mysteriously, “At the House of Exceptional Beauties, the young master fought for a girl with another person.” He lowered his voice and said enigmatically, “… His surname is Chu.”

“His surname is Chu…” Lian Cheng Gui murmured.
He suddenly remembered his son talking about mobilizing the shadow guards to get a person with the surname Chu…

The little bit of hope that Lian Cheng Gui held on to sank into the abyss as he trembled and said, “Could it be… that person was the minister?”

Cheng Zi Ang smiled.
He gave an approving look to the “smart person.”

“Oh oh… oh oh…” Lian Cheng Gui did not know whether to laugh or to cry.
His mouth just made some odd noises.
Right after that, Lian Cheng Gui closed his eyes, and his whole body fell backward.
He had fainted without being able to say anything…

Before fainting, the only thought he had in his head was: This is really hilarious! People can’t hide fast enough, and my son dares to fight for a woman with him.
He even showed off in front of King of Hell Chu’s face and tossed out one hundred thousand taels to hear a melody?

This is too funny!

Lian Fan Lei came behind his father and just stood there stupefied.
He could not believe what he was hearing… So… that person was King of Hell Chu!

No wonder the people that came with him became angry when I insulted King of Hell Chu…

Right away, young master Lian wailed and screamed, “I… I really did not know who he was…”

“The minister has ordered to take the entire Lian family! Seal the ministry of revenue! Check everything carefully!” Cheng Zi Ang gave an order that shook the entire citadel! Sealing the ministry of revenue and checking everything carefully? How many people were going to be unlucky?

The entire Iron Cloud Citadel was in shock! Before, it was rooting out spies.
This time, it was investigating corruptions, and large fortunes with unknown origins…

It should be known that, in no matter what dynasty, the number of corrupted officials was much greater than that of spies! As for large fortunes of unknown origins, which official did not have a little sh*t in his ass?

The jail cells of the judicial department were once again utilized by Bu Tian Pavilion! During the time before the new emperor ascended the throne, there was a great amnesty.
Many prisoners were freed; now, there was a lot of room…

Early in the morning of the second day, Tie Bu Tian convened in court and saw something was amiss.

Many officials below were missing.
The royal court was supposed to have more than a hundred people, but, from the looks of it, there were less than half.

“What is this? Is everyone on vacation?” Tie Bu Tian was a little annoyed.

“Your Majesty, save us!” Even if someone had given an order, they could not be any neater.
More than half of the remaining officials kneeled simultaneously.
One official who could not kneel stood there with a tearful face.

The remaining officials that were still standing in the court, with the exception of the elderly ones, were surprisingly less than thirty all together… But these remaining people, whether big officials or small officials, were all standing proudly with their chests puffed up at this time!

After sifting out all the sand, one would find gold! Even though the amount of gold was a little small…

“What is this? Where are all the others?” Tie Bu Tian was now also surprised.

The officials looked at each other and dared not speak.
After a long time, one of the kneeling officials near the front said with a trembling voice, “All the others were arrested by King of Hell Chu.
Even we are also… also… Your Majesty! Oh oh…” This official suddenly started to cry, “Bu Tian Pavilion people are waiting outside the royal court to arrest us…”

Tie Bu Tian’s jaw dropped; he became petrified in the blink of an eye!
