Chapter 242 Shouldn't that mean that the entire clan should be punished? (Subscribe)
Governor Zhou shuddered.

He didn't expect that Chu Wujiang would take such tough measures once he came out.

Killing chickens to warn monkeys?
No, it's to kill the monkey to scare the chickens.

Chu Wujiang had investigated the strength of Fengyu Tower and knew that the other party had powerful soul masters and a powerful backstage, with connections to Yuanji Academy, the prime minister, and the imperial court.

Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has praised Fengyu Tower many times.

They are the eyes and ears of the imperial court. They are not officially affiliated with the government, but they can do dirty work for the government.

Since it is a dirty job, it cannot be discussed openly.

Chu Wujiang spoke frankly, just to put the matter on the table so that everyone could see and understand what Fengyu Tower had done.

What is the biggest fear of secret room politics?
The most feared thing is publicity.

Governor Zhou had cold sweat on his forehead. He looked at the hermit, who still looked calm and composed.

He is really a man who can do great things.

Governor Zhou said quickly:
"My Lord, as the saying goes, you can be wise if you listen to both sides."

"This investigation is indeed extremely bad, but the Nine Evil Paths always like to sow discord, so we must investigate."

"The hermit is the censor of the Metropolitan Censorate and is deeply trusted by His Highness!"

"I think we should consider this carefully."

Governor Zhou is also an old bureaucrat. He started with Tai Chi and put the blame on the nine evil spirits.

Chu Wujiang's expression also eased a little.

We still have to give face to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Fengyu Tower is extremely powerful. It can quickly target Chu Wujiang's connections and send out hermit mountain people.

The hermit is secretly the inspector of Fengyu Tower, and ostensibly the censor of the Censorate. He holds two positions at the same time, so naturally he cannot be negligent.

Chu Wujiang said in a deep voice:

"In that case, please let the censor speak for himself."

The hermit stood up and saluted, saying neither humbly nor arrogantly:
"Thank you, Lord Marquis."

"First of all, after the investigation by the Metropolitan Censorate, it was found that the warriors in Fengyu Tower who mastered the Blood Shadow Method and other martial arts did not have the time and motive to commit the crime."

"This must be a frame-up."

"As for the investigation of Longzhou Junjie, the Censorate often investigates and verifies that everything was done by Taoyuan on his own. He had some conflicts with the Emperor's son, and that's why he offended you, sir."

Why do big guys like to build up forces and send their subordinates to do work? The most convenient thing is to be able to cut relationships.

The boss cannot get his hands dirty, he needs to wear white gloves to work to facilitate cutting problems.

In this way, even if there is a conflict between the two sides, there is room for negotiation.

The hermit first completely shirked his responsibility, then said:
"Of course, the Censorate believes that Fengyu Tower did not discipline them strictly and was responsible for failure to supervise them."

"The property of Longzhou related to Fengyu Tower will be handled by the Marquis and others, and Fengyu Tower will have no complaints."

"Just expelling Longzhou and executing everyone is too much."

Chu Wujiang had three punishments in total for Fengyu Tower.

Confiscate the property in Longzhou, kill the backbones of Longzhou, and never allow them to enter Longzhou.

Fengyulou agrees with the former but disagrees with the latter two.

Governor Zhou nodded quickly and said:

"That's right, that's right. We are all pillars of the court, and we shouldn't hurt the harmony over this."

"In my opinion, it must be the work of the evil demons from the Nine Paths!"

"Master Hou..."

Chu Wujiang tapped the table twice with his hand, and the living room suddenly became quiet. Then he said slowly:

"Mr. Taoyuan is the general manager of Fengyu Tower."

"The recording is also irrefutable evidence."

"Governor Wu has captured Taoist Dique to prove his record of testing His Royal Highness and others."

"This Eye of Life is a trophy seized by this Marquis. It was made by Fengyu Tower."

"Just a small fine is too cheap."

The Eye of Life certainly does not belong to Chu Wujiang.

Rather, it was donated by the Princess Princess as a gift, and was the spoils of war from the Duke Zhenguo's campaign against the Demon Palace.

Chu Wujiang had people bring out evidence one by one in order to overwhelm the two men with his momentum.

I left them alone for an hour just to make these preparations.

The hermit seemed to be well prepared and was not overwhelmed by Chu Wujiang's momentum. He smiled and said:

"My Lord, these are all made by Mr. Taoyuan on his own. He is already dead."

"There is no way to judge the dead."

"What's more, the Censorate has some evidence that Mr. Taoyuan is in collusion with the Demon Palace."

"This Eye of Life is most likely from the Demon Palace."

Yeah, everyone thought of the same thing.

Fengyu Tower now wants to get rid of the responsibility, and the most suitable person to take the blame is the Demon Palace.

The hermit mountain man intends to muddy the waters and divert attention.

But his pushing the blame allowed Chu Wujiang to seize the flaw and pursue the victory:
"Since the Lord Censor also understands that Longzhou's Fengyu Tower is colluding with the Demon God Palace."

"Then we can't let any of them go."

"The Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion colluded with the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect, and now their entire clan has been exterminated!" "Mr. Taoyuan colluded with the Demon God Palace, shouldn't his entire clan be implicated?"

"The Fengyu Tower only handles the Longzhou branch, which is already a great favor from the emperor!"

Oops.

The hermit quickly explained:

"My Lord, Mr. Taoyuan's collusion with the Demon Palace is just a personal act."

"This is different from Lord Zhongyong."

"And Lord Marquis, this time the mermaids are attacking, and Fengyu Tower holds extremely important intelligence."

"As long as the Marquis is willing, Fengyu Tower will..."

Chu Wujiang sneered and interrupted directly:
"Master Censor, please be aware of your identity!"

"You are the imperial censor of the imperial court, not a lobbyist of Fengyu Tower!"

The hermit mountain man had no choice but to shut his mouth. He found himself dizzy and actually spoke from the perspective of Fengyu Tower, which was questioned by Chu Wujiang on the spot.

Now he could only look at Governor Zhou with eager eyes.

Governor Zhou coughed:
"My Lord, the Censor did tell me that."

"In order to make amends, Fengyu Tower did collect a lot of information about mermaids."

Chu Wujiang chuckled and said:
“Could it be related to the remains of a powerful Yuanshen master, or to the Water Spirit Pearl, or is it a gift from the Demon King?”

The hermit's face changed several times. How could such emotions be hidden from Chu Wujiang who was practicing the "Heavenly Demon Bliss Technique".

Seeing this, he said decisively:

"I don't need this information."

As for the conspiracy of the East Sea Palace, it seems that you don't know it either.

"My Lord, why do you have to do this?"

"We are our own people!"

The hermit finally couldn't hold it anymore and hurriedly explained.

Chu Wujiang calmed down now and asked softly:

"Governor, is this also the opinion of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"If so, I can accept it."

"Don't kill the people from Fengyu Tower."

Chu Wujiang's meaning was very clear. He remembered the favor of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who gave him the [Ice Soul Cold Light Sword], so he was more supportive of the Crown Prince's party and the Prime Minister.

But does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince intend to exchange the favor here?
This will make the governor of Zhou embarrassed.

The hermit looked at Governor Zhou with a longing look. He could only sigh:
"My Lord, please forgive others when you can."

“Feng Yu Lou can add a little more to the compensation, so please forgive them.”

"The Prime Minister has also benefited from Fengyu Tower."

Chu Wujiang wanted to kill them in order to completely destroy Fengyu Tower's foundation in Longzhou, making it difficult for them to rebuild.

Now Fengyu Tower’s backing is even stronger than he thought, and even the prince has come to plead for mercy.

"no problem."

"I will definitely give face to your Highness and Prime Minister Fang."

"You don't have to kill people, but Fengyu Tower must withdraw from Longzhou, and then the compensation will be doubled."

"It's not just this request from me, the Crown Prince also wants it from me."

"If the people from Fengyu Tower show up openly, don't blame me for being rude."

Chu Wujiang could only temporarily cut off one arm of Fengyu Tower, and the people had to be driven away.

They had no choice but to send in new people to rebuild.

Governor Zhou breathed a sigh of relief:

"No problem, I will definitely satisfy you, Lord Marquis."

"so be it."

Chu Wujiang watched the two of them leave, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

[Your Highness, I have repaid the Prime Minister's favor this time.]

[It all depends on how well the princess cooperates. ]

[This calamity has just begun. The court will not give up the investigation into the anomaly so easily. ]

[After Madam Youlan has set up the formation in Yuzhou in a few days, I can go and carry out my plan to conceal the truth from the world.]

[But before that, let’s get rid of the hidden dangers first. ]

Chu Wujiang thought about this and said:

"Uncle Fu, call Yunchang to the secret room."

"Yes, master."

Originally Chu Wujiang was not in a hurry.

But the power of [Tianbao Ling'er] and Fengyu Tower forced him to take more powerful measures.

Miss Yunshang, no matter what the princess sends you to do.

Once you enter the Chu family, you must become a member of the Chu family.
