Chapter 764: Chapter 326: Reaction After the Event (Please Subscribe)_2

This was precisely one of the reasons Wang Sheng did not want the Xiushui County case overturned by the Ministry of Justice.

Not only did this relate to his own reputation and career prospects, but it would also offend Chu Xisheng and the Formless Divine Sect.

Wang Sheng, with a hint of doubt, took the letter from the advisory officer’s hands.

He pondered what significant event Chu Xisheng could have caused this time.

Had he slain another of the Shenxiu Ten Masters, or defeated someone at the Heavenly Pillar Level? Such things weren’t considered significant enough to stir the whole world.

When Wang Sheng concentrated and carefully read the letter, his pupils suddenly constricted and his breathing quickened.

His gaze incredulous and intensely focused, he read the letter word by word and repeatedly went over it several times.

After a long while, the Governor of East State finally put the letter down somewhat absent-mindedly, his complexion shifting from pale to white, "Wood Sword Immortal has ascended to godhood? What a move by Chu Yidao, he has done something tremendous—"

The Governor of East State considered, was this merely stirring the world? It was practically breaching a corner of the heavens.

In today’s world, there was now one more new god.

This god was not only unrelated to the Ancient Giant Gods but also possessed the extraordinarily powerful "Cutting Heaven" technique, nearly matching the mightiest gods in combat power.

Subsequently, joy sprang up in Wang Sheng; this was indeed great news for East State at the moment.

He pondered briefly and then tossed the letter to the East State Inspector Xiahou Yuan, "Take a look."

Xiahou Yuan had long been curious about the content of the letter.

After receiving it, he quickly skimmed through.

Moments later, Xiahou Yuan’s face showed alarm, "Mr. Governor, it’s uncertain whether this news is true or false?"

He instinctively realized the impact of the Wood Sword Immortal’s ascension on the entire world and the East State officialdom.

Xiahou Yuan had not lacked the intention to side with the Western Capital Chu Family.

Due to his own son’s killing, Xiahou Yuan actually harbored deep hatred for Chu Xisheng and the Iron Banner Gang.

He was even less willing to offend the Western Capital Chu Family.

However, only due to concerns that revisiting this case could lead to a catastrophe for himself and the Xiahou family did Xiahou Yuan muster his support.

At this moment, however, his heart sank, knowing he needed to discard those inappropriate thoughts.

Although the Western Capital Chu Family was a top Martial Arts Family, powerful and wealthy; Chu Rulai himself, was a Second Grade high official in the court.

But now behind that member of the Iron Banner Gang stood a true ’God’.

However, the difficulties they currently faced could indeed be readily resolved.

"This message has been passed on from the Prince Yong Mansion in Wang’an City," the advisory officer shook his head, "How could it possibly be false?"

Mr. Governor Wang Sheng, with a stern look, replied, "Lord Xiahou, the issue of the former Master of the East State Martial Arts Tower, Wang Chaoyang conspiring with the Ministry of Justice, I will handle. But the troubles in Xiushui and Xunyang counties require Lord Xiahou’s efforts."

This Wang Chaoyang, daring to get involved in the Sikong Chan’s conspiracy case, aiding Chu Rulai against him, truly knows no death.

If he cannot contend with Chu Rulai, can he still not handle a demoted Fourth Grade Divine Mechanism Scholar?

Xiahou Yuan’s expression brightened, and without hesitation, he firmly said, "Your subordinate will not shirk his duty!"

Previously he had been too cautious, not daring to confront those local officials and arrest officers inclined toward the Ministry of Justice and Vermilion Bird Hall.

Now, however, he no longer had these concerns.

These foolish people who had chosen the wrong side would now pay the price.

Governor Wang Sheng’s lips slightly curled, feeling as if the pressures accumulated over the past month had been swept away.

He turned to the advisory officer, "The Iron Banner Gang’s small canal is about to be opened, right? After their opening ceremony, send a congratulatory gift of ten thousand Demon Silver on my behalf to the Iron Banner Gang. Chu Xisheng has an infinite future in the Formless Divine Sect, and we must maintain a good relationship with the Iron Banner Gang."

Wang Sheng knew there might be some friction between the Formless Divine Sect and the Emperor.

However, scholars and the Emperor governed the world together, his Chang City Wang family had been officials for generations, a distinguished lineage that spanned 7,000 years.

Like the Formless Divine Sect, their history was much older than the Daning Dynasty.

Meanwhile, in Xiushui County, at Mi Family Castle.

Tie Xiaosheng stood by the embankment, looking at the canal in front of him, about twenty zhang wide, almost fully excavated, his face flushing with excitement.

Now only the opening of the gates remained.

Once the canal was fully operational, the Black Iron Ore and Heaven Metal mines of the Mi Family Castle could be mined. All ores could be transported through the canal tied to Shenxiu River, freely reaching the markets along the river banks.

This was a trade that could bring in ten thousand Demon Silver daily, which would become one of the foundational pillars for the Iron Banner Gang, continuously bolstering them.

While everyone was focused on the final unexcavated stretch of the canal, Xiaang Kui quietly left the crowd and went to a nearby tavern.

Due to the Iron Banner Gang massively summoning gang members and hiring laborers to work on the construction near Mi Family Castle, many more taverns, tea houses, and brothels had sprung up in the area.

’Wang Family Tavern,’ opened just over a month ago.

It appeared no different from an ordinary tavern, earning the hard-earned money of the laborers, yet unknown to all, the owner of this tavern was an Inner Sect Disciple of the North Heaven Sect.

"Brother Wang!"

Xiaang Kui entered the private room, seeing the manager of the tavern, whose eyebrows lifted as he sat down behind the Eight Immortals table.

"Brother Wang, has the Sect responded? What did they say about my issue? I can assure you, I have thoroughly investigated the inside and out of the Iron Banner Gang, and there is absolutely no anomaly, nor any trace of the Rebellious God Flag. There’s nothing suspicious left in the whole area of Xiushui County. We’ve also checked all places where Qin Muge had once stayed."
