Chapter 397 Lobbyist
"Wang Mingyuan destroyed the Holy Tower and broke through the dimension, almost turning the Holy City into a ghost town. The impact of this incident is too bad." Fu Yu said.
"That is Wang Mingyuan's own fault. What does it have to do with his students? If all the students taught by Wang Mingyuan are to be punished, there are many officials and generals in the federation who have taken Wang Mingyuan's classes. Why don't they all be arrested?" An Tianzuo said.
"How can they be the same? Before Wang Mingyuan broke through the dimension, he specially called his four students over. It is obvious that he treats these four students very differently, and..." Fu Yu hesitated to speak.
"Sir, please speak frankly if you have anything to say." An Tianzuo said.
Fu Yu sighed and said, "If the matter of Wang Mingyuan had just passed, the Federation wouldn't have kept a close eye on his students. Even for General An's sake, they would at most have increased surveillance. But the situation now is somewhat different. Some things cannot be concealed. The dimensional channel opened by Wang Mingyuan seems to be closed, but in fact it is not completely closed. Or it has become very fragile. As long as you have a certain level of power, you can break through the dimensional channel through the fragile point."
"Did mythical creatures enter the Federation from there?" An Tianzuo asked with a frown.
"If only it were just that, it would be fine. The current Federation has very strict restrictions on dimensional creatures. Even if they come, the damage they cause won't be too great, and the Federation's top brass can still deal with it." After a pause, Fu Yucai said, "But I don't know what methods Wang Mingyuan used. Since then, many well-known figures in the Federation, even powerful figures, have rushed into the other dimension like Wang Mingyuan."
"Maybe they just want to explore information about the other dimension." An Tianzuo said.
"To explore information, do I need to become a monster like Wang Mingyuan?" Fu Yu sighed.
"How is it possible? Wang Mingyuan was able to transform into an extra-dimensional creature with the help of the power of the Holy Tower and the six holy temples. Now that the Holy Tower is destroyed, the power of the six holy temples will no longer flow out. How did they transform into extra-dimensional creatures?" An Tianzuo was finally a little surprised.
"That's the problem. They can't transform into dimensional creatures on their own unless someone is secretly plotting something."
"Wang Mingyuan?"
"Apart from him, is there anyone else who could have done this?" Fu Yu continued, "The Federation has been investigating. What we know now is that those people had contact with the dimensioned Wang Mingyuan. They must have been able to dimensionally rush into the other dimension with Wang Mingyuan's help. As for what method they used and how Wang Mingyuan returned from the other dimension, we still can't confirm it."
"So the Senate wants to find the answer from students like Zhou Wen?" An Tianzuo understood what Fu Yu meant.
"Before Wang Mingyuan transformed into another dimension, he refused to see even his own blood relatives, but he insisted on seeing these four people. It is obvious that they have extraordinary significance to Wang Mingyuan. Maybe they really know something, and the parliamentarians just want to find the answer to prevent the situation from getting worse." Fu Yu said.
"They even invited you here, which means that this matter has been confirmed, right?" An Tianzuo asked calmly.
"Tian Zuo, since Zhou Wen is not your man, why bother to interfere in this matter? Just let the Supervisory Bureau take him away. I believe that they will not make things too difficult for Zhou Wen for the sake of the An family." Fu Yu said.
"Sir, do you believe this?" An Tianzuo said.
Fu Yu was speechless for a moment. Once they entered the Supervisory Bureau, they would definitely do everything they could to get everything they wanted to know from Zhou Wen. They might even use soul-type companion pets and abilities, or even directly plunder Zhou Wen's memory. In any case, it would be impossible for them to not embarrass Zhou Wen as Fu Yu said.
"If I don't agree to let the Supervisory Bureau take Zhou Wen away, will those parliamentarians plan to arrest him by force?" An Tianzuo looked at Fu Yu and asked.
Fu Yu's face changed slightly after hearing this: "Tian Zuo, why are you doing this? You said it yourself, Zhou Wen has nothing to do with you..."
An Tianzuo smiled and said, "Sir, I remember when we were in school, you taught me that when you are in a superior position, you should treat others as human beings, and when you are in a subordinate position, you should treat yourself as a human being. Zhou Wen is a student of Sunset College. He has not committed any crime. I have no relationship with him and I don't even have any good feelings towards him. But as long as he has done nothing wrong, no one can take him away from Luoyang."
"Tianzuo, your temper..." Fu Yu looked at An Tianzuo helplessly.
"Sir, please go back and tell those high-ranking parliamentarians that if they want to take Zhou Wen away, they can provide sufficient evidence for my approval, or they can step over my, An Tianzuo's, body. They can choose either one." An Tianzuo said expressionlessly.
Fu Yu knew that there was no need to continue. He and An Tianzuo had a teacher-student relationship, and he knew very well what kind of person An Tianzuo was. Now that he had said it, even if he was attacked by swords and axes, he could not change his decision.
After Fu Yu left, An Tianzuo glanced at the door and said with a cold face, "Have you heard enough?"
An Sheng pushed the door open and walked in, smiling and saying, "General, didn't you look down on Zhou Wen the most before? Why did you protect him?"
"What do you mean by looking down on him before? I still look down on him now. I protect him just because I don't want to make the emperor unhappy. Besides, students of Sunset College are not something they can arrest just like that. Is there any law?" An Tianzuo said.
"Yes, yes, you are the most upright governor in the world." An Sheng said with a smile.
"Why do I feel so uncomfortable listening to your words?" An Tianzuo put down the pen in his hand and stared at An Sheng.
"Maybe you are too modest, General, and you are not used to hearing compliments. You will get used to it if you hear them more often." An Sheng said.
"Stop talking nonsense and don't tell my Empress Dowager about this. She's already upset about my grandfather's affairs, so don't let her worry about it anymore." An Tianzuo ordered.
"I understand. What about Zhou Wen? They have already asked Mr. Fu to be their lobbyist. I'm afraid they won't give up. Even if they don't come to arrest him openly, they will send people over secretly. It might not be safe for Zhou Wen to stay in the academy." An Sheng said.
"What does his safety have to do with us? He is already an adult. If he was caught and killed, it was because he was incompetent. He deserved it. Do you want to be a wet nurse and hold him for 24 hours?" An Tianzuo said with a cold face.
"Yes, Governor, I will go and inform him right away and let him fend for himself." An Sheng saluted and turned to leave.
"Come back." An Tianzuo called An Sheng again.
"General, do you have any other instructions?" An Sheng turned around and asked.
"Because of grandpa's matter, my mother has been in a bad mood recently. She dotes on that boy the most, so let him go and accompany her. After all, he is her stepson, and this is what he should do. What's more, the empress dowager dotes on him so much, he should be grateful and repay her." An Tianzuo said with a straight face.
"General, do you mean to let him move to the An family compound?" An Sheng asked with blinking eyes.
"Did I say that?" An Tianzuo snorted coldly.
"No, absolutely not. I'll go find Zhou Wen and ask him to go to the An family to accompany the Empress Dowager." An Sheng saluted solemnly and turned to leave the office.
