Chapter 159: Abnormal and The dust settles (Part 1)

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 .
