Chapter 109: Smart people get humiliated, honest people eat Tao Tie ignored Yuan Nantian's words. He just looked at Qin Tianfang, the inspector of the Immortal God Department of Cangqing County: "Inspector Qin, do you need to check the situation? If so, when will you check it? Face is given to each other. I give you face, but you don't give me face at all. This is not good." As he spoke, Tao Tie took out the communication terminal and said, "I have reported this matter truthfully to the Inspection Department of the Dianzhou Immortal God Department, and also filed it with the Inspection Department of the General Office of the Dayong Immortal God Department. If there is any discrepancy in what I said, please ask the Qindu Inspector to correct it yourself." After saying these two sentences, Tao Tie did not leave the Cangqing County Immortal God Office. Instead, he returned to the reception room where he had been before and sat down inside. Outside the gate, Qin Tianfang's expression suddenly changed. The Department of Immortals and Gods is a multi-level organization with its headquarters located in the capital, and under it are branches in various states, prefectures, and counties. There are nine provinces within the Dayong Dynasty and eighteen provinces outside. Each province has many prefectures, and each prefecture has many counties, so there are a lot of officials in the Immortal God Department. When there are too many people, it is easy for bad apples to emerge, and supervision is needed. Therefore, the General Office has a Supervisory Department, each state’s Immortal and God Department has a Supervisory Section, and each prefecture’s Immortal and God Department has a Supervisory Office.

The county-level Immortal God Department does not have a dedicated supervisory department on the surface, but among the three deputy governors, the one who is mainly responsible for the work of the three departments of Gong, Cang and Fa also has the duty of supervision. In fact, Gongcao also has some supervisory work. Tao Tie's move was brilliant. He reported the matter directly to the Supervisory Section of the Dianzhou Immortal God Division, and the wording he used was "reflect" instead of "report". This gives the Inspection Department of the Dianzhou Immortal God Division a lot of room for maneuver. A gentler approach would be to come down and visit to understand the situation; a tougher approach would be to have already obtained evidence and come down to investigate. Able to advance and retreat. All job positions have test requirements. After receiving Tao Tie's "feedback", the Supervisory Section of the Dianzhou Immortal God Department, which had such a large room for operation, would definitely send someone to investigate. Once we find out something, the year-end work report will be much easier to write. It is nothing to swat a few clerks and flies on a daily basis. Being able to eliminate such jackals as the ninth-rank inspectors is a real skill and a real achievement. Is there anyone who would not want to take advantage of a credit that is delivered right to their doorstep? Therefore, within one or two days at the earliest, or three to five days at the latest, the officials from the Supervisory Section of the Dianzhou Immortal God Department will go to Cangqing County to conduct an open and secret investigation of Qin Tianfang. Everything Qin Tianfang said and did during his tenure as the Inspector of the Immortal God Department of Cangqing County would be magnified countless times. You even dare to use the ninth-rank inspector of other states and counties as a raft to curry favor with others. Is there anything else that you, Qin Tianfang, dare not do? Are you still an official of the Celestial Empire? You must be a dog from a wealthy family! Thinking of this situation, Qin Tianfang immediately came back to his senses and looked at Yuan Nantian, a nobleman from the capital beside him with some expectation. "See what I do?" Yuan Nantian, with a foolish look in his eyes, turned his body to the side. "You were the one who came to me, not me. If anything really happens to you, I have no reason to help you. Besides..." With a slightly embarrassed look on his face, Yuan Nantian said in a lower voice: "I am just a dandy boy. I go out under the guise of my father. I can live a life of idleness and wait for death, but I cannot do anything wrong. Believe it or not, if I really dare to do this, my father will kill me himself without anyone coming to catch me!" After saying this, Yuan Nantian ignored Qin Tianfang whose eyes changed again, walked into the yamen, and went to find Tao Tie to tell him what he had not finished. It turned out that after Qin Tianfang caught the black snake and brought it back to the Immortal God Division of Cangqing County, he quickly found out that the black snake was released by the third son of the right vice minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Whether he had the intention of currying favor with Tao Tie or was instructed by certain people, Qin Tianfang finally ignored Tao Tie and went to see Yuan Nantian in private. Unexpectedly, looking back now, this was a decision that could not be more stupid. Qin Tianfang didn't believe Yuan Nantian's words that the Right Vice Minister of Rites would sacrifice his own relatives for the sake of justice. This is a joke! Few people in the world don't know that the Right Vice Minister of Rites is a spineless treacherous minister, who shows completely different faces to his superiors and to his subordinates. Would such a person sacrifice his own relatives for the sake of justice? How is that possible? Therefore, Yuan Nantian said this simply because he didn't want to protect Qin Tianfang. Thinking of this, Qin Tianfang felt sick all over. His eyes were fierce, his breath was cold, and his right hand had been placed on the hilt of the knife at some point, with veins bulging. "Why are you standing here, neither going in nor out?" Suddenly, a deep voice came from behind Qin Tianfang, "Make way, you are blocking my way." Qin Tianfang was suddenly startled, and quickly concealed his fierce eyes and cold aura, and stood aside to make way. The person who walked silently behind Qin Tianfang was none other than Miao Qingyu, the deputy steward of the Three Caos, who was the main leader of the Cangqing County Immortal God Division. "I am Qin Tianfang, honored to meet Mu Duguan." Qin Tianfang bowed and clasped his hands together, greeting him respectfully. "Forget about these formalities. It's better to focus on your work than anything else." Miao Qingyu said something lightly yet with deep meaning, without even looking at Qin Tianfang, he walked into the yamen and went to the reception room where Tao Tie was received. Soon, Miao Qingyu arrived near the reception room. In the reception room, Yuan Nantian was talking excitedly and gesticulating about the reason why the Canglang River had a calm and clear water flow when it passed through Cangqing County, because there was a thousand-year-old turtle staying at the bottom of the water. It is also said that this old turtle was very likely to have carried Taizu, who had not yet founded the Dayong Dynasty, a thousand years ago. If he could really be captured and presented to the current emperor who worships Taizu the most and tries to get close to him in everything, he would surely be appreciated by Your Majesty. "Then, you'll get promoted and I'll get rich. How wonderful!" Yuan Nantian's eyes were filled with extremely strong desire, and he was immersed in a wonderful vision. "When I get rich, I will rent out Hua'e Tower. Even when I poop, I will have an oiran to catch it, wipe my butt, wash my butt, and put on my clothes..." Tao Tie looked at the ambitious Yuan Nantian blankly and asked faintly, "Are you here to take a shit?" "What?" Yuan Nantian was awakened by Tao Tie's words with a "humph" effect, and then looked around blankly, "Shit? Where is the toilet? I want to shit! I want to shit! I want to shit!" Muttering this sentence over and over again, Yuan Nantian rushed out of the reception room like a headless fly. Tao Tie looked at Miao Qingyu who walked in from the door.

It was this person who cast the spell just now, and with the help of the [Hum] magical power, he had a soul-shaking effect on Yuan Nantian, confusing Yuan Nantian's will and thoughts. Yuan Nantian ran out like a fool. "Hello, Inspector of Taodu. My last name is Miao, and my name is Miao Qingyu. Nice to meet you." Miao Qingyu walked into the reception room and introduced himself first, showing his goodwill. "My uncle mentioned you in several letters he sent me. You have been famous for a long time." Tao Tie saw that Miao Qingyu and Miao Zongren looked about the same, and immediately understood what was going on. He said in a friendly tone, "Tao Tie, nice to meet you." Miao Qingyu sat down on the chair opposite Tao Tie and said directly: "Qin Tianfang used his power for personal gain. The Cangqing County Immortal God Department will deal with it seriously. Can the Taodu Inspector withdraw your report and filing?" "No." Tao Tie decisively refused. "Okay." Miao Qingyu didn't force it. The previous question was just because he was performing his duties as the deputy governor and trying to save the reputation of the Cangqing County Immortal God Department. He tried, but Tao Tie didn't allow it. What else could he do? After completely removing his responsibility from the matter, Miao Qingyu got down to business: "Tao Tie, I'll take the liberty of calling you this. Based on my uncle's introduction to you, I think I know a little about you. I know why you're not in a hurry to go to Beijing, and I also know your intention of going all the way here, but you really can't keep going on this journey like you're just sightseeing." "Why?" Tao Tie calmly asked, "The Heavenly Dynasty has given us plenty of time. There is still a month and a half before the special training. Isn't it enough for us to rush to the capital before then?" "That's the theory." Miao Qingyu nodded in agreement with Tao Tie, and then changed the subject, "But in fact, such ample time is not only for you young talents who have received special training from the Celestial Empire, but also for the princes in Beijing." Tao Tie fell silent after hearing this. With the communication terminal upgraded after becoming an official, one can receive court bulletins and other messages no matter where one is. Therefore, Tao Tie certainly knew that several princes who remained in the capital and were eligible to compete for the position of crown prince had already obtained permission from the emperor and the court to set up their own governments. It's just that he didn't connect this matter with the selection of talents and special training. After all, the former is to lay the foundation for the country, which is both a national affair and a family affair. The latter is to reserve talents for the country and is a purely state affair. According to the usual practice of the Celestial Empire, the two things will be completely distinguished and not confused. Isn't it worthwhile to waste a country's talented people on internal friction? Miao Qingyu saw through Tao Tie's thoughts and smiled bitterly: "In theory, it's as you think, but it's not the case in reality. Otherwise, why do you think my uncle, who is talented, capable, and skillful, has been the magistrate of Liuxian County for thirty years?" Tao Tie became even more silent after hearing this. The emperor of the Celestial Empire serves a term of fifty years. The first thirty years are spent in stable government, the middle ten years are spent deciding on a crown prince, and the following ten years are spent by the crown prince observing government affairs while the emperor hands over power. However, the succession of the current emperor has been subject to many twists and turns. The crown prince who was originally chosen disappeared at the critical moment when the incumbent emperor was handing over power. It was later discovered that he had been lured by the Holy Maiden of an overseas demon sect and gone out to sea to search for treasure.

From the Emperor to the ministers in the court and all the civil and military officials in the Celestial Empire were all furious. They mobilized their armies to suppress the overseas demons without regard for consequences. In that battle, the previous emperor of the Celestial Empire brought with him all the powerful people he could. The powerful masters who stay behind must guard the major cities, and there is a shortage of manpower. As a chain reaction, this gave the millions of remnants of the mountains the opportunity to erect the Tiannan Barrier and isolate the three southwestern states. Later, the Celestial Empire destroyed most of the overseas demon sects and returned victorious. They then deposed the original crown prince, appointed another prince, and reorganized the Eastern Palace. The former officials of the Eastern Palace were eliminated and all sent to the three southwestern states. After a moment, Tao Tie sorted out the cause and effect and shook his head slightly: "The nature is different. This matter and that matter are not exactly the same." “Even if they are not exactly the same, how different are they?” Miao Qingyu sneered, "It's nothing more than one is that the court approved it, and the other is that the court did not explicitly approve it." Tao Tie seriously corrected: "It's not that it was not explicitly approved, it's just that it was not explicitly abolished." Miao Qingyu frowned slightly: "You are nitpicking." Tao Tie asked back: "Shouldn't it be?" This question stumped Miao Qingyu. The matter involves the position of crown prince, national affairs, personal future, and the people of the world. In theory, one should be very careful with words. Miao Qingyu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I can't argue with you, so I won't argue with you. I just want to remind you that even if you don't want to participate in the fight for the throne, there are many people who want to participate or have already participated, forcing you to take sides." Tao Tie didn't respond, but just asked: "Can I go now?" "of course." Miao Qingyu nodded, "In the matter of the black snake, everything you said and did was in accordance with the rules. It was our Cangqing County Immortal God Division that was disrespectful and disrespectful. Of course, you can leave if you want." "Then please ask Deputy Chief Miao to inform Mr. Tao after the result of the handling by the Qindu Inspector of your company comes out." Tao Tie stood up, thought about it, made this request, and then bowed, "Goodbye." After saying this, the man strode out. As soon as he walked out of the reception room, he ran into Yuan Nantian, who had gotten rid of his confused mind, and Qin Tianfang, who looked unhappy. Yuan Nantian ignored Tao Tie and rushed into the reception room with his teeth bared. "You are so good, Miao Qingyu. You are my old friend. I called you brother when I was a child. Is this how you treat me? Oh my god, I am so angry!" "Ugh! Ugh... Miao Qingyu, what are you going to do? Let me go! Let me go! Don't spank me! I'm sixteen! Don't spank me!" The sound of snapping rang out like a violent storm. Yuan Nantian's howls of pain served as accompaniment. During the symphony, Qin Tianfang blocked Tao Tie's way. He seemed to have a lot to say, but he was stunned and silent. Tao Tie waited for a while, then bypassed Qin Tianfang and continued forward.

We were strangers to each other and passed each other by. It is estimated that there is no possibility of meeting each other again. In this case, whether Qin Tianfang encounters a rough and bumpy life in the future or falls into the abyss, what does it have to do with Tao Tie? Everyone has their own path, and where they go is their own choice. Soon after leaving the Cangqing County Immortal God Office, Tao Tie suddenly felt a little hungry and wanted to find something to eat. Since I made some progress in my spiritual practice, I have been practicing fasting to maintain my health, and I haven't tasted any delicious food for a long time. Tao Tie was in high spirits and didn't hold back. He walked in the direction of the aroma that aroused his appetite. After crossing three streets, I finally found it. This is a roadside stall that only sells one food: egg fried rice. The stall owner was an old man with a hunched back. His stall was very clean, but there was not a single customer. After standing in front of the stall for a while, Tao Tie took out all the spiritual stones, spiritual jade, gold, silver and copper coins from his storage bag, floated in the air, and said sincerely: "Please make me some egg fried rice." The stall owner looked at Tao Tie, then at the spiritual stones, spiritual jade, gold, silver and copper coins floating in the air, and then looked at Tao Tie again before taking out five copper coins: "Five coins each, no difference between immortals and mortals, no deception for children or the elderly." Ding Ding Dang threw five copper coins into the cash box, and the stall owner ignored Tao Tie and started concentrating on frying rice. Tao Tie put away the sundries and watched the old man carefully light the stove, heat the oil in the wok, and stir-fry the rice. A simple plate of egg fried rice fully illustrates the wonders of the five elements. Especially water. (End of this chapter)
