Chapter 209

The scroll before his eyes clearly recorded:

"Pluton!"

107 I do not deny the facts, and I feel incredibly proud!

【Holy crap! He actually managed to pull it off?】

【Nonsense, but very inspiring!】

【It's all thanks to this invention of Zhuge Tang! That's why Nanyang City is so prosperous now!】

【What does this story tell us?】

【If you want to be rich, build roads first?】

【You son of a bitch, you really are a genius!】

【I'm even more curious about Pluton now!】

【So, can we confirm now that the ancient weapon Pluton is in the hands of Zhuge Lanqi?】

【Yeah! It's just that it hasn't been built yet!】

【Wait a minute! He was stealing money from Wang Lufei before—could it be that he was doing it to build Pluton?】

【Holy crap!! Now that you mention it, it all adds up! It really is like that!】

Almost everyone was staring at the blueprints before them!

On them was the Pluton, rumored to be capable of destroying a country!

The Supreme Court seemed to have stopped giving Zhuge Tang trouble!

After all, such an achievement would leave even the most demanding politician unable to say a word against it!!

The Supreme Court went quiet!

Nanyang City was also revitalized in the hands of Zhuge Tang!

Everyone also saw the importance of industry!

Nanyang City's industry had been quite developed before!

But the mountain roads were rugged.

However, the appearance of the Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse solved this problem!

It completely allowed Nanyang City to rise!

Four years had passed without anyone noticing!

Everyone thought this chapter had been turned!

But then, news suddenly arrived!

The Supreme Court's convoy had arrived!

They were going to conduct a retrial of Zhuge Tang!

Upon hearing this news, the people of Nanyang City were immediately filled with righteous indignation!

Putting aside whether Zhuge Tang's original crimes were valid!

As of now, Zhuge Tang was the provider for all the people of Nanyang City!

Fortunately, the Supreme Court had already given word this time!

It was just going through the motions!

The merit of the Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse was enough to keep Zhuge Tang innocent!

The crowd finally felt relieved, but the audience always felt a vague sense of unease!

Sure enough, an uninvited guest arrived in Nanyang City that day!

"My lord~ be careful!"

"Hmm~"

A man who looked imposing and wealthy stepped off the thunderbolt carriage!

Even though he had seen it many times!

He was still shocked by the mechanical oxen and horses before him that could move on their own!

This was simply not something humans could achieve!

And this man's identity was not simple either!

He was none other than the Minister of Works of the Imperial Court, Pan Da.

And he had another identity! That was, a disciple of the Mo Sect!

As a member of the Mo Sect, being outdone in industry naturally made him very unhappy!

Of course, he wasn't just here to find fault this time!

The group walked along the streets of Nanyang City!

Pan Da, as the Minister of Works, was very displeased!

These commoners kept talking about Zhuge Tang without mentioning the Imperial Court at all!

The audience was speechless!

When they were poor, the Imperial Court didn't care! Now that they were rich, they started coming to claim credit!

747 Pan Da's goal was very clear!

He wasn't here to pass on any Imperial Court orders!

He came today for another matter!

He found Zhuge Tang's residence with great purpose!

Pan Da displayed an attitude of absolute superiority!

But Zhuge Tang did not bow and scrape because of the other party's status as Minister of Works!

Pan Da could even see a trace of disdain in the other's eyes!

It wasn't disdain for his official rank! It was disdain for him as a craftsman, as a member of the Mo Sect!

"Mr. Zhuge, I presume!"

"This official knows of the great achievements you have made!"

"But do not become arrogant because of your merits!"

"This is all something you should do as a subject of the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty!"

Pan Da's tone made the two young and hot-blooded disciples very unhappy!

Zhuge Tang quickly pulled the two of them out to prevent them from acting impulsively!

"What you say is true, my lord!"

"I am just an ordinary craftsman!"

"I naturally keep the Imperial Court's support in my heart!"

Although he said that, Zhuge Tang's tone made Pan Da very unhappy!

"Hmph!"

"It's good that you know!"

"This official will not beat around the bush today!"

"Mr. Zhuge, there are some things that should not be in your hands!"

"Have you not heard that an innocent man is guilty only because of his treasure?"

Zhuge Tang narrowed his eyes, roughly guessing the other party's intentions!

"This old man does not know what you are talking about, my lord!"

"Hmph!"

Pan Da let out a disdainful cold snort!

"Stop playing dumb!"

"Others might not know!"

"But this official knows!"

Pan Da's gaze sharpened!

"Mr. Zhuge! The manufacturing method for this Pluton must be in your ancestral Martial Marquis Divine Mechanism, right!"

Zhuge Tang remained calm upon hearing this! He continued:

"You are joking, my lord!"

"My Zhuge family only has things that benefit the people!"
