Chapter 287: The sky changes and the earth changes, but the Supervisory Hall remains unchanged
A figure in black robe fell from the sky, it was Su Zian who once traveled to Longyou Shoal and was trapped in You County.
Even though Tie Tang had heard some news before, he was still shocked when he actually saw Su Zian appear here.
"Brother Tie, this matter is of great importance. Everyone must be investigated, and you are no exception." Su Zian patted Tie Tang on the shoulder.
The two were old acquaintances, had friendship before, and were officials in the same palace. He had made this very clear.
That’s it.
Tie Tang also knew that there must be a shocking change inside, and it was not up to him to make the decision.
"Haha~ Mr. Su is treating you in person, Tie Tang, are you still resisting arrest? I can't arrest you, so do you have to disobey the orders of the Supervisory Palace?"
The official put his hands on his hips, feeling very proud. Seeing that Tie Tang was deflated, he felt relieved from his previous anger.
"Brother Su, who is this person? Can I order an investigation into him?"
Su Zian smiled slightly: "This person's name is Tu Yongchun. As long as you are fine after the trial, it will be fine.
You are the inspector, are there any people in the world who dare not investigate?
Even the current princes and Dukes of Wu and Mu can investigate!"
Tu Yongchun's expression changed upon hearing this, and he subconsciously took a step back.
The nominal authority of the supervisory envoy is indeed great. He is said to patrol the heavens and supervise the heavens, which represents the face of the human emperor.
Of course.
In fact, it is impossible for any 'supervisory envoy' to dare to investigate people like Sangong Wu Mu.
If you want to do this kind of thing...at least the three masters of the Supervisory Palace must come forward, and it is not the turn of one supervisor to speak.
But the problem is... He Tu Yongchun is not a high-ranking official in the court!
If an inspector is determined to target him, which official will not panic?
How many people who have really been in the officialdom for a long time can stand the test?
I can’t stand it!
I really can’t stand it.
Maybe these officials didn't do anything extremely sinful, maybe they were just greedy for some small money and opened a door for convenience.
Even if the incident does come to light, which is the result of being dismissed, you may not need to go to jail.
But officialdom is never that simple.
Once you lose your official position, your former enemies will be like sharks smelling the smell of blood, and will come from thousands of miles away to add insult to injury.
At that time, you will only be in panic all day long.
Either run around like a lost dog, or go around begging grandpa and suing grandma, exhausting all the love in the officialdom.
But no matter how deep the friendship is, there will be a day when it runs out.
When you completely lose power and have nothing to rely on, the end will naturally be extremely miserable.
This is one of the reasons why court officials fear supervisors like tigers.
Others don’t even have to deal with you personally, someone will clean up the mess.
Tie Tang took a step forward, not afraid of this official from the magical realm, and stared at him with his eyes.
"Remember, if my friends lose a hair...I don't care about others, you will definitely not end well."
Being threatened in person like this, Tu Yongchun's face turned red with anger. He was also the one who wanted to lose face, so he couldn't help but yell at the top of his lungs.
"Tietang!"
"You are simply lawless!"
"Is this what you should say as a supervisor?"
Tie Tang reached out and took out his ears, looked at Su Zian and asked, "Sir, what did I just say?"
Su Zian laughed: "Did you say that? I've been a little deaf recently, but I didn't hear clearly."
Tu Yongchun was so angry that he was shaking all over. He didn't expect that Su Zian, who was well-known, would defend Tie Tang in this way.
With no help around, he could only turn around and look at the surrounding guards as if asking for help.
But many of these great soul witches were originally from local aristocratic families, and they were forcibly dragged into being young men, and they had long been dissatisfied.
Coupled with the bad luck of the Supervisory Hall, who dares to touch it?
A court official and the Supervisory Palace.
This choice is not difficult, and it is the same for everyone.
Tu Yongchun looked around, but no one said anything.
Tie Tang stepped forward and asked Tianwen. Li Geng and others gave them a few words to reassure them and they would try their best to rescue them.
They are all innocent, have no connections with cults, and don’t take it to heart at all.
"It's okay, Tietou. If all of us are guilty, wouldn't the entire Jiuyao City be wiped out?"
"Don't worry, they should just go through the process and it will be fine."
......
A group of words of comfort were suddenly interspersed with a cry.
"Uuu~ Sir, we and the three brothers were wronged. You know it very well. You must rescue me and get out."
Tie Long, Tie Hu, and Tie Niu all feel that they have been unlucky recently. It’s just that they failed in their treasure hunt, and now they are involved in this huge case.
In a big case like this...it's perfectly normal for a few unrelated people to die.
Once you enter this vortex, it doesn't matter whether you are guilty or not. It is not their turn to have the final say. The key is whether you can save your life.
Tie Tang looked at the three brothers who were hugging each other and crying, shaking his head and laughing. These three people were indeed somewhat unlucky.
"Master Tie, please go back to the Supervisory County Residence first. It would be best to resolve the matter as soon as possible."
"Okay!"
Tie Tang nodded, and strode towards Jiuyao City with Su Zian, leaving only Tu Yongchun, who was so angry that he was still standing there.
A long time.
He just waved his hand.
"Cuff them up...take them back."
"Yes, sir!"
——
As soon as he arrived at the inspector's residence in Jiuyao City, Tie Tang saw an acquaintance and quickly stepped forward and saluted.
"Lord Xiang!"
Xiang Tian, the supervisor of the Shendu Mansion, is so powerful that he is called the Master.
Even Tie Tang can't figure out what realm this is now. He only knows that he has surpassed the ordinary immortal gods.
"Huh? You're back? It seems like you've gained a lot from this trip." Xiang Tian just took a look and knew that Tie Tang had made great progress.
Tie Tang waved his hand: "With a little gain, what kind of changes have happened in Jiuyao City?"
"Oh? Master Su, didn't he tell you? Xiang is now an official under Master Su." Xiang Tian looked a little surprised.
These words surprised Tie Tang.
On strength....
On official rank....
Xiang Tiandu is much higher than Su Zian, how could he become Su Zian's subordinate?
Su Zian shook his head repeatedly: "Master Xiang, please don't try to break me."
"Haha~ Sit, sit, sit. We are all our own people here, so we don't have to do the tricks outside."
The two sat down one after another, and Tie Tang couldn't wait to ask: "What on earth is going on?"
Xiang Tian's face was stern, he regained his bearing as a supervisor, and explained the matter in detail.
"The court... has decided that the human king Jiang Yong will handle this matter. There are many stories here. How much do you know?"
Tie Tang listened.
Knowing that the rumors heard by the Tie brothers were true, they told Tianwen and Li Geng one by one.
"Not bad!" Xiang Tian nodded.
"The identity of the Human King is extremely sensitive. Logically speaking, anyone can supervise this matter, but not the Human King.
If you have to choose one among the three human kings...Jiang Renwang is also the most unlikely one!
But the facts are now before our eyes, and it is Jiang Renwang who is here to supervise the case.
Tell the truth.
The water here is very deep, and I am a little confused and dare not act rashly."
Tie Tang tried to ask: "So... Mr. Xiang became Mr. Su's deputy?"
Su Zian smiled bitterly, and Xiang Tian also looked helpless.
There are only twelve such roles in the world.
But at this time, he became Su Zian's deputy.
A Taoist leader becomes a subordinate of the Witch God realm...
It can be seen from this.
How heavy the burden is on Su Zian, and how dark the blame is.
An accident.
It's easy to be dismissed from office, and it's not impossible to kill everyone in your family.
"Su has to eat this forbidden fruit, and it is indeed an opportunity. As long as the case is solved...Su will have a chance to show his ambition."
"It doesn't matter, I will try my best to help you and make sure nothing goes wrong." Xiang Tian gave half a reassurance.
Tie Tang looked out the window and towards the Jiu Yao government office in the north.
"So... King Jiang Ren is also in Jiuyao now?"
Xiang Tian laughed when he heard this: "How can a person like a human king take action personally? Someone will do it for him. He is only supervising the case in name.
Unless the three major cults... are really related to him, it is impossible for him to personally intervene."
Jiang Yong was the great shaman of the ancient Daxia Dynasty, and he had been in this position for nearly three thousand years, and he had seen all the prosperity and loneliness of the ancient Daxia Dynasty.
Nowadays, Baxiajiao, one of the three major evil sects, is under the banner of restoring Daxia. It is hard not to think of something.
"Then why is it that Jiuyao seems to be causing people to panic now? I heard that person say that even Wan Huazang, the governor of Jiuyao County, and Mr. Li from Qingshui County are in prison?"
Xiang Tian knocked on the armrest and said calmly: "Although the Human King will not personally intervene, the people who investigate the case for him do not dare to be careless.
If this matter is not handled well, it will be a slap in the face of the human king, and it will be a matter of losing one’s head.
Therefore, when the people below do things, they naturally go over the limit.
Now in the entire Jiuyao City, anyone who has experienced the period of rebellion by the cult will be interrogated, and it will not be so easy to get out after entering.
Especially local officials from Jiuyao City!
Wan Huazang is the governor of Jiuyao County. If something like this happened, he would have derelict in his duties. He will inevitably be imprisoned.
And his situation is a little different, so maybe he can actually ask questions.
But don't worry, Li Qingwan and others are fine. They are the same as the officials from the other seven counties who came to participate in the competition.
Nominally he is in prison, but in reality he is just under house arrest.
After all, the governor of a county also has a high and powerful position, and was conferred by the Emperor. It is not an easy matter to remove the governor's official position."
Tie Tang heard what Xian meant: "So... Tie will also have to be tried?"
Xiang Tian looked at Su Zian and said with a smile: "This is Mr. Su's business. Naturally, we have the manpower of the Supervisory Hall and it is not the turn of outsiders to dictate."
Although Su Zian has a relationship with Tie Tang, this matter is of great importance and he has to act cautiously.
The superiors of the Supervisory Palace will appoint him to handle this case, and they obviously know his character.
"Master Tie, I am now questioning you. Everything you say will be recorded. Do you have any objections?"
"Here?" Tie Tang looked around. This was obviously the living room, and the tea cup in front of him was still steaming.
"If you have nothing to do, the investigation will be the same everywhere. If you have... problems, Mr. Xiang and Mr. Su are here, and you can't escape."
Tie Tang was happy, and immediately straightened his robes, sat upright, and looked at Su Zian.
"Master Su, please speak frankly."
"Where were you on the day of the incident?"
"Watching the game on the school field."
"How did you get out of the blockade of the Red Flame Nine Dragon Cover? Have you ever had any dealings with cultists?"
Once Su Zian started handling a case, he was no longer as gentle as usual, he was serious in speech, strict in words, and his words were extremely bold.
Tie Tang didn't care either. He recounted how he cooperated with Li Qingwan to break through the blockade that day, how he was exposed to the underworld and met the underworld judge to ask for his help, including how he captured Xia Sibai, the young master of the Baxia Cult.
Once spoken.
In fact, Su Zian and Xiang Tian already knew these things.
What we were asking at this time were some details, and we were constantly observing Tie Tang’s demeanor to see if he was lying.
With their many years of experience in handling cases and their own strength, Tie Tang, who is only in the secret realm of witchcraft, will immediately be spotted by the two of them if there is anything strange.
The difference in cultivation between the three...that is, one is bigger than the other, and Tie Tang is at the bottom of the food chain. Unless he creates memories to blind himself and make himself believe it is true.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to hide it from the two people in front of me.
A long time.
The conversation stopped, and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
It was expected that Tie Tang would be fine.
After all, he was the one who notified Xiang Tian to arrive in time that day. Based on this alone, the motive is logically very beneficial to him.
"This matter has been recorded, and Master Tie may be asked to come back to assist later."
After the trial was completed, Tie Tang had no worries, but he began to worry about Tian Wen, Li Geng and others.

Su Zian gave an answer: "They...we can intervene, but at most we can only ask them. If we want to release them...then the people on the Human King's side will have to let go." If something like this happens, the Supervisory Palace naturally has the right to investigate and supervise the case, but the person in charge of this case is not the Supervisory Palace, but the King of Human Beings.
Therefore, unless the Overwatch Hall finds the truth, captures all the real culprits, and puts the facts before everyone's eyes, it is not up to them to intervene in the affairs of a human king...
"Brother Tie, Su has always known your talents. Now that you are dead... how about assisting Su and solving the case together?"
Su Zian knew Tie Tang's methods of solving crimes and wanted to invite him to join the gang.
Tie Tang stood up and cupped his hands: "I can't ask for it."
"Okay!"
"Master Xiang and I still need to sit in Jiuyao City and cannot move easily. We will be responsible for the affairs here.
The three major cults have been hiding since that day, and their movements are almost impossible to find.
But something big happened in Jiuyao City some time ago.
Xia Sibai's head was released without permission, which allowed us to find a trace."
"What? Xia Sibai is gone?" Tie Tang did not expect this possibility.
Su Zian nodded solemnly: "The person who let him go was Wanhua Zang's confidant. He committed suicide after the incident, and even his soul and spirit were burned away.
This is tantamount to dragging Wanhua into hiding. Regardless of whether he is involved or not, now there is yellow mud staining his crotch - whether it is shit or shit!"
"What about Luan Kang?"
Luan Kang is the eldest son of Sixiang Hou, and a prince should not be underestimated. Originally, the court still had Xia Sibai as a bargaining chip, but now he was let go without permission.
This puts Luan Kang in an extremely dangerous situation, and Si Xianghou cannot possibly remain indifferent.
"This is what I want to tell you."
"Sixianghou has not said a word so far, but the face of a prince is something that no king dares to despise.
Therefore, retrieving Luan Kang and allowing him to return safely is also the top priority at the moment.
Our secret agent in the Supervisory Hall has found a clue, but there has been no further news.
I need you to investigate. If you find any clues about Luan Kang, please inform us immediately, and Mr. Xiang will personally rescue people."
"Okay, although I don't like that prince, I can't let the evil cult run rampant."
The three of them discussed it among themselves, and Su Zian and Xiang Tian told Tie Tang what they knew so that he could go out and do things more conveniently.
Half an hour later.
Tie Tang walked out of the gate of the Supervisory County Residence alone.
He did not leave in a hurry, but went to Jiuyao Prison.
As soon as Tu Yongchun heard that the supervisor was coming, he rushed there immediately.
As expected.
He saw the person he least expected to see.
"What are you doing here? Do you think this is the Demon Suppression Palace?"
Tie Tang didn't waste any time and told him what he wanted to do.
"I'm here to get three people, they have nothing to do with this."
"It's irrelevant if you say it's irrelevant? It's not your turn to have the final say here." Tu Yongchun was still angry and made up his mind. No matter who Tie Tang said, he would never let him go.
"The three of them are people from Guangjiang County. They were not in Jiuyao City or even Jiuyao County when the incident occurred, before or after.
The government's investigation of the case is not about arresting people for the crime. Do you want to argue with Tie about the law of Dashang?"
Tu Yongchun paused when he heard this.
Of course he is not a rough guy, and he is quite talented, but he is not a serious member of the Ministry of Punishment, so he would not dare to talk about the law with an inspector.
"Which three people?"
"Iron dragon, iron tiger, iron ox."
Tu Yongchun winked at his men: "Go and see if there are these three people."
After a while.
Someone returned and whispered into Tu Yongchun's ear.
"Since it is the inspector who is visiting, I will give you this face and let him go!"
Tie Tang laughed and didn't care about the cheap words.
He has already learned from Xiang Tian and Su Zian that although Jiuyao City is extremely strict now, it can be said that every tree and plant is a soldier.
But as long as people who were not present at the time of the incident were easily dealt with, they could be released casually.
If we really want to find out the entire county...or even the entire capital, I'm afraid we will need some big shots from the court.
With the current manpower alone, it is impossible to do such a thing.
It didn’t take long.
Tie Long, Tie Hu, and Tie Niu were pushed out by several guards in the physical realm.
Their whole body cultivation was banned. When they saw Tie Tang, it was like seeing a relative, and they couldn't help crying.
"My lord!"
"Woo~"
.......
"Okay, don't cry so much. It's just a joke. Get up and follow me."
"Yes, sir!"
After the four of them came out of Jiuyao Prison, the three Tie brothers felt like they had been pardoned. Looking at the sky and white clouds, they seemed to have seen the most beautiful scenery in the world.
"Sir, where are we going now?"
Tie Tang looked intently into the distance, crossed his arms over his chest, and pondered for a moment.
