Chapter 495: The Palace Lord’s decree, the dragon returns to the sea
Compared to the county governor who is of the fifth rank and controls an area and is equivalent to a local feudal lord...
The supervisor of the seventh grade is so insignificant that it is easy to be forgotten and ignored.
As Jiangdu's prime minister, Jiang Mu had never been in his eyes in the past, from a third-rank official to a mere seventh-rank official.
If he wants to deal with a seventh-grade official, he doesn't even need to do it himself. If he expresses his attitude a little, there will be a lot of people who can do it for him.
No matter what position a seventh-grade official in the world holds, it is impossible for him to compete with a second-in-command in the capital.
There is only one exception——
Supervisor of the Supervisory Palace!
No matter how fierce the fight between civil servants and military officers is, no matter how fierce the fight is, it will always revolve within the same system.
When facing different enemies, they can even change their hostile relationship, become allies, and deal with the outside world in unison.
And the Supervisory Hall...
It is another bureaucracy independent of the court.
From the moment the Supervisory Palace was established, there was no possibility of coexistence between it and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.
Naturally hostile relationship.
At this moment, when Tie Tang took off his identity as Qingshui County Sheriff and put on the tiger skin of the inspector, Jiang Mu immediately realized that things had changed.
He smoothed his two-inch goatee and changed his address at the same time: "Tie Tang, you haven't been around for a long time, so I'm afraid you don't know... The supervisory envoys from all over the country have been ordered to enter Chaoge and are under the direct management of the Holy Capital Supervisory Hall.
Now that your identity is unknown, it’s not too late to go to the Holy City to review your duties and then come back to Jiangdu City for inspection!”
Tie Tang holds two different official positions. Jiang Mu naturally knows it and cannot forget it.
He dared to come forward.
Just make all-round plans.
Tie Tang's ears twitched and he secretly sent a message to ask Feng Chengdao and Tie Long.
"Is there really such an edict from the imperial court?"
"Master...this is true. Since seven years ago, the Supervisory Palace has issued three calls. In the last time, even Xing Ming and Yu Shu, who were still waiting for their posts, were ordered to enter the imperial court."
There are not many inspectors, and each of them is wealth to the inspector palace, and most of the inspectors are not very strong. Naturally, the three palace masters cannot let these lifebloods be easily damaged.
"It seems that what Wu Jianxian said is true. Jiangducheng has already known about my arrival in advance and has made sufficient preparations."
A look of embarrassment appeared on Tie Tang's face.
When Wei Taining saw this scene, his worried heart immediately relaxed again, and he looked at Feng Chengdao and others winking and ridiculing.
The three Tielong brothers are just that. Their autonomy is not as strong as others, but Feng Chengdao has been killing for ten years and is a killer. He has never been a master who takes offense.
His figure disappeared, escaped into the void, unfolded the Qingming Phantom Step, and arrived behind Wei Taining in an instant. The bones of his ten fingers were bulging and the veins were knotted.
Bang!
Feng Chengdao wanted to tear Wei Taining's mouth to pieces with both hands, but was locked by two paths of ecstasy and was thrown back in front of Tie Tang.
Jiang Mu said coldly: "Assaulting an imperial official is a capital crime. As an inspector, don't you even know how to discipline your subordinates?"
His strength is so tyrannical that even if Feng Chengdao suddenly makes a surprise attack, it is impossible to hide it from his eyes.
Tie Tang stretched out his right hand, with his index and middle fingers spread apart, like a pair of scissors. With a single cut, he cut off the two avenues that bound Feng Chengdao.
"Lord Jiang, there is no need to blame me. If I really want to kill him... he won't survive. My disciple just wanted to test Lord Wei's courage. He doesn't want to be a dignified minister, and he is also a cowardless person." Wei Taining was so angry that he was shaking all over. Tie Tang was just arrogant, but he still had some identity and background.
But what kind of person is Feng Chengdao, who dares to do something to himself?
"Tie Tang, this untouchable is lawless and dares to secretly attack and kill me. Hand him over immediately. Maybe I can spare his life for your sake!"
Tie Tang exerted force with his legs, and the red flames of fire unicorns steamed under his seat, burning clouds and boiling fog, and heat waves rolled in.
"If you beep again, I will smash your mouth. You can see if Mr. Jiang can protect you!"
"Okay, Wei Yushi, shut up and go back to the city immediately!" Jiang Mu scolded and turned to look at Tie Tang.
"You can't change any situation by messing around here. Either go back to Qingshui, or go to the Holy City again.
Of course, it’s not impossible for you to stay here and wait, but don’t talk about entering the city anymore!”
To put it bluntly, official positions are only a layer of skin after all, but what matters in the world is strength.
High-ranking officials often represent high strength, so they can dominate the world.
But Tie Tang is different after all.
This peerless genius who ranks second on the life and death list has now ascended to the immortal throne and controls the same power as himself and others.
This is what Jiang Mu is worried about.
Facing Tie Tang, who has opened the door to the fairyland, no one knows how strong he is now.
But what happened ten years ago will not be forgotten. Ranking second on the life and death list is enough to make anyone put aside their contempt.
The sun and moon appeared in Tie Tang's eyes, and he already had an idea in his mind.
"Master Jiang, I am not a messy official. I came here specifically to follow the decree of the Lord of Shang Palace and strictly inspect the officialdom of Jiangdu City.
Today, the world is in danger. As the capital of a government, Jiangdu City is actually an important place in the world and an important place in the world. In order to stabilize the order here and prevent rebellion.
The master of the palace specially ordered me to come here to investigate and find out the trouble!
If you stop me, you will be hindering the law enforcement in the Supervisory Hall. I will have no eyes for fists and kicks, and it will be unsightly to hurt you."
Fake!
When Jiang Mu heard this, he knew that this was a lie made up by Tie Tang at random.
If there is an edict conveyed from the Holy Capital Supervisory Hall, as the Prime Minister of Jiangdu City, it is impossible for him not to know about it at such a delicate moment.
What's more, he knows something about the situation in Qingshui County.
For ten years, it was Feng Chengdao who stood firm.
Tie Tang has clearly just come out of seclusion. At this moment, the Holy City Supervisory Hall may not even know that he has been born, and it is naturally impossible to issue a decree.
Jiang Mu narrowed his eyes, inserted both hands into his sleeves, and said in a nonchalant manner: "Master Tie, privately falsely passing on the legal edict of a first-rank official of the imperial court is also a capital crime, so you should think carefully about it."<

"The name of my Supervisory Palace is as powerful as the Hao Sun, and the authority is personally conferred by the Human Emperor. As a supervisor, how can I pretend to say so?
Could it be...
Mr. Jiang is questioning my actions in the Supervisory Palace?"
Tie Tang looked incredulous.
This hat will not be smaller than the one Jiang Mu put on Feng Chengdao's head before, so naturally he would not dare to accept it easily.
Jiang Mu laughed, and then his face turned cold: "Well, since Master Tie has said it resolutely, and I have the guts to do so, please ask the Master of the Shang Palace to take a look at the decree!"
Tie Tang sat upright on Qilin's back and shook his head slightly: "I supervise the affairs of the palace and only respect the emperor's holy edict and never make it public.
If Mr. Jiang has any doubts, he can write to the Holy Capital Supervisory Hall to verify the authenticity."
"Nonsense!"
Even Jiang Mu, who had been in the officialdom for many years, could not help but scold him when he heard Tie Tang talking nonsense.
Because this kind of thing is impossible to succeed.
Regardless of whether the decree is true or false, he, Jiang Mu, is not qualified to know.
Tie Tang is the real supervisor!
We are from the same group as Shang Yue.
Even if he, Jiang Mu, really fulfills his promise, he can only eat ashes in the Supervisory Hall.
He had nothing to do with how Tie Tang was held accountable within the Supervisory Palace afterwards. Anyway, outsiders would never know whether the decree was true or false.
If he were just an ordinary supervisor and deceived like this, Shang Yue might have compromised under the high pressure from the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.
But who is Tie Tang?
Everyone knows that the Overwatch Palace will definitely fight to the end.
For Jiang Mu, this matter was something whose authenticity could not be verified.
There was a long silence.
Jiang Mu suddenly put away his cold expression and smiled, as if the spring breeze was blowing on his face: "Governor Tie is really good. He can talk nonsense like this without changing his expression. He is as stable as Mount Tai.
It seems that my great Shang Dynasty has another dragon returning to the sea, which is really gratifying."
"Heh~"
Tie Tang sneered, crossed his legs, and the Fire Qilin Fire Control took a step forward.
"Sir Jiang, I haven't entered the city for a long time. Please show me the way."
Jiang Mu's face darkened and he cursed in his heart, did Tie Tang think of himself as a slave leading a horse?
He is a dignified Prime Minister of Jiangdu, with a high position and authority, and his official rank and strength are higher than Tie Tang's. Let him lead the way?
Don’t even think about it!
"There are a lot of things going on in the city recently, and the roads are not easy to navigate, so be careful!"
After leaving these words, Jiang Mu was so angry that he walked away.
"This man is not good... can he still blame the uneven road? He is also incompetent. Let's go!"
Tie Tang murmured in a low voice and led the group of people forward.
When Jiang Mu heard these words in mid-air, he staggered suddenly, but did not leave any words to respond.
The unicorn controls the fire and steps on the clouds. The eight-hundred-mile road is approaching in an instant, and the familiar city wall of Jiangdu appears in front of everyone's eyes.
Feng Chengdao walked in front to clear the way and asked in a low voice: "Master, why haven't I seen anyone coming from the Supervisory Hall?"
"The palace master who deceived him doesn't know where he is at this time. I called his name several times but got no response."
"The city of Jiangdu is so difficult to enter. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult and dangerous to go to the holy capital to worship."
"As long as we can see Lord Feng Mansion, we can know a thing or two about the situation in Chaoge, and it won't be that difficult to go to the Holy City."
"I hope so..."
Security was tight outside Jiangdu City, and Tie Tang and his party were inspected several times, but there were no further difficulties.
When we actually arrived in front of the city gate, there were not too many soldiers guarding it.
Tie Tang had never seen the city defense formation activated in the past. At this time, it was quietly operating in Jiangdu City. The sky above the city was dotted with phantoms of the four holy beasts, true dragons, divine phoenixes, etc.
There is also a human figure sitting cross-legged in the center, holding a jade Ruyi in one hand and a jasper Taoist dish in the other.
Feng Chengdao exclaimed: "This formation... is extremely powerful, and the consumption is probably astonishing."
"It is impossible to rely solely on the energy of the surrounding heaven and earth and the advantage of the terrain to meet the needs of the formation operation. There must be a formation master in the city who has changed the supply of the formation, and perhaps a few immortal god overlords are needed to support it."
Tie Tang also saw the clues at a glance. The formation here was many times more powerful than the Xingxiu Formation in Qingshui City, but it also consumed dozens or hundreds of times more.
If the formation here were operating at full power, it would probably be able to drain away all the energy of heaven and earth within a radius of several thousand miles in an instant.
At this time, Ying Roujin suddenly walked up to Tie Tang and said: "I heard that during the chaotic era of three to five thousand years, the city was also used as a stronghold to defend the world. It is somewhat similar to the current situation.
This formation in Jiangdu City is very likely to have existed at that time. It has been tested for a long time, so we'd better proceed with caution."
She said it very tactfully.
Along the way, Ying Roujin also saw a little bit of the temperament of Master and Disciple Tie Tang, one was more powerful than the other.
However, their qualifications are astonishingly high and their strength is extremely powerful. Once they enter the city, they are afraid that they will cause disputes within three steps.
When the time comes to be trapped in the formation, it will really be a catfish on the chopping block, and you will not even have the means to escape.
"Don't worry, I also have some connections in the city. I'm not here to die."
After saying that, Tie Tang put away the fire unicorn and walked into the city gate with the others. After checking the fish talisman and official seal, another soldier came over.
"Master Tie, it's natural for you to enter the city, but Jiangdu City is already overcrowded. Those people in your body..."
He didn't look malicious, but his body was shaking a little. He was obviously a chess piece pushed out by someone above him.
There are millions of Qingshui City people in Tietang's body, and even the entire Qingshui City is in his eyes.
If it is released, it will inevitably consume Jiangdu City's resources.
But if he doesn’t let it go...it’s impossible for Tie Tang to keep it with him for the rest of his life.
"It doesn't matter, they have their own destiny!"
Tie Tang punched the sky, and the phantom of the real dragon swung upwards, straight to the outer sky, and came under the boundary wall of the Immortal Courtyard.
Boom!
The real dragon probed its claws, tearing apart the boundary wall in one fell swoop, and billowing immortal energy poured down the real dragon's body as if it cost nothing.
"Who? Dare to trespass into the Immortal Court without permission?" There are divine generals guarding Tianwaitian, who immediately scolded him upon seeing this.
"Get out!"
"The Fairy Garden is so big, and I am also an immortal. What's wrong with giving you a little fairy energy?"
The real dragon's appearance was majestic and vigorous, and it was obvious at first sight that it was extremely powerful. The god general did not dare to provoke him, so he only held his breath and asked: "Do you dare to leave your name as an immortal?"
"I, Tie Tang, come if you are not afraid of death!"
As soon as he heard this name, the god general immediately shrank and stopped seeing any movement.
Supporting millions of people is indeed a burden for Tie Tang, but for the vast, sacred, and rich Immortal Court, it is not even a drop in the bucket.
No one would do this to offend a powerful god for such a trivial matter. It's not worth it.
However, this kind of behavior will definitely attract the hostility of the Immortal Court. I don’t know when it will cause cause and effect. How can other people dare to do such a reckless thing?
Several immortal gods colluded with Wei Taining in Jiangdu City were originally going to give Tie Tang a slap in the face, but when they saw the True Dragon Dharma that communicated with the Immortal Court, everyone fell silent.
"Let's go!"
Tie Tang should take the lead and move forward without anyone stopping him.
As soon as we entered the city.
The prosperity of the past is gone.
Although the streets are bustling with people coming and going, they seem extremely narrow and cramped.
There are tall, dark buildings everywhere, as high as a hundred stories high, as if they are reaching into the sky.
Tie Tang felt the breath of countless living people.
At least the previous soldiers did not lie. Jiangdu City was indeed overcrowded.
It seems that Jiangdu City has also accepted many people who fled from other cities. The mention of martial law... is not entirely a rejection.
Humans are not animals.
It is impossible to enclose a land and let a bunch of people stand or lie down like chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep.
There are so many high-rise buildings now just to allow all the people in the city to live freely.
No matter what disputes there are in the court and official circles, at least at this moment, they have not affected the people in the city.
Tie Tang could see tiredness on the faces of people traveling, but no dissatisfaction, indicating that life in the city could still be maintained.
Human dignity still exists and order still exists.
While checking people's livelihood, he walked towards the Jiangdu government office, where Feng Yi and others should be.
Every time a certain distance passes, someone will come and invite Tie Tang and his party to be their guests.
These people are either city officials, local powerful families, some wealthy merchants, or even officials who have fled from other cities, and they will send people to invite them.
Tie Tang couldn't grasp their thoughts. Maybe some people really came to make friends because of his reputation, but he didn't rule out that more people were playing tricks.
He rejected everyone and only wanted to make plans after meeting Feng Yi.
The further we walk, the fewer people there are.
Until we reached a crossroads, there was no one around.
This is something unbelievable in today's Jiangdu City.
Tie Tang stopped and looked at an extremely luxurious restaurant on the left.
The shiny gold-lettered signboard was completely different from the atmosphere in the city at that time, and the one-foot-long plaque only had three large characters written on it.
"Jade Man City"
The mellow aroma of wine came from the third floor, accompanied by an extremely pleasant sound.
"Chief Tie, how dare you, my little girl, invite you upstairs for a drink!"
