C3936 Reaching the Heavens in a Single Bound(part I)
The 0.009 copper coin looked at the South Sea Crab boss in confusion. It did not understand what he meant. Was he not willing to part with the money, or was he out of money?
"Ha Qishu, what do you want to say?" Lord Zhang asked.
"This is not my money," He Qishu said.
"This naturally can't be your money. Your salary is not that much." Lord Zhang said.
"I have never seen this kind of money. I don't know what is going on. I didn't put it here." He Qishu tried his best to suppress his anger and explained.
"This is your home. Do you believe that you don't know the money that appeared in your home? If something unknown had appeared in the residence of another person, it would be understandable if they did not know about it. You are the Inspector of the Nine Gates, so how could someone leave so many Treasure Chests here without alerting you?" Lord Zhang asked.
He Qishu was speechless.
"Where are the gold coins?" Lord Zhang asked.
"I don't know. Lord Zhang knows my character. If I really did it, I won't deny it." He Qishu said.
"Since Lord He is not willing to say it, we can only look for it ourselves." Lord Zhang said lightly.
"Someone is framing me, so I hope Lord Zhang will uphold justice," He Qishu said.
"Don't worry, Lord He. Everything will come to light." Lord Zhang ordered his subordinates to continue searching and found the empty 25 Treasure Chest gold coins.
The bailiffs searched through the entire residence of the Inspector of the Nine Gates, digging three feet deep. Other than finding more than eight thousand gold coins, more than six thousand silver coins, and a hundred thousand copper coins, they did not find any other gold coins. This amount was obviously not the right amount. This amount was about the salary of the Inspector of the Nine Gates.
"Master He, I will now give you a chance to tell me the whereabouts of the gold coins. Otherwise, I will have to respectfully ask for the Holy Judgment." Lord Zhang's expression was a little ugly. He was old, and he did not like complicated cases. He only liked to finish them quickly.
"I don't know, so how can I say it?" He Qishu was also full of anger. He knew that he had been framed. However, all the evidence was against him. If he wanted to turn the tables around, he had to find new evidence. If no one helped him, he would have to find the evidence himself. However, he was trapped and had no freedom. How could he save himself?
"Escort everyone back and seal off the Nine Gates Inspector's residence." Lord Zhang did not give He Qi Shu any face at all and directly sealed off the Inspector's residence. He did not even need to ask the Emperor for help. His methods were so tough that Dongfang Qingyu was speechless.
Logically speaking, an official of He Qishu's level would need to ask the emperor for permission. However, from beginning to end, he had never seen Lord Zhang with such intentions. He seemed to have the feeling that he would act first before reporting.
Dongfang Qingyu and Hai Fugui did not participate in the following trials. Although they did not participate, they had been paying attention to it. Dongfang Qingyu finally knew the identity of Master Zhang. He was the Emperor's brother-in-law, righteous and impartial. He was called Zhang Qingtian. The Emperor trusted him very much.
Lord Zhang had been extremely outstanding since he was young. He was the youngest scholar in the dynasty and should have been the top scholar. However, in order to avoid arousing suspicion, the emperor gave the top scholar spot to someone else. He took a step back and only became the top scholar. If not for that, he would have been the youngest top scholar in the dynasty. After that, he didn't follow the usual path to enter the Han Lin Courtyard. Instead, he entered the General's House, and started as a pawn. He spent ten years to become a deputy general. When everyone listed him as a candidate for the general, Master Zhang was ambushed by a mysterious person, and his dantian was destroyed, turning him into a cripple. He couldn't stay in the army anymore, so he went to the Court of Judicial Review. From Master Zhang to the Court of Judicial Review, the Court of Judicial Review became the most feared place for officials.
Lord Zhang made a trip to the Imperial Palace. After coming out, the verdict was also decided. Inspector He Qishu of the Nine Gates made up for his mistake and confiscated the loot. He was fined three years of salary and was not allowed to be promoted for five years. 0.009 copper coins were embezzled and bribed, and he was sentenced to death. The Southern Sea Crab boss bribed, attacked the city gate, and committed treason. He was sentenced to death, with three families executed, and his family was confiscated.
The result was better than Dongfang Qingyu had imagined. He only hoped that He Qishu and the South Sea Crab's boss would both be injured. However, he missed the love that the dynasty had for the officials, so his crime was almost zero. It was fine if the 009 copper coin was cut off, but the South Sea Crab boss wanted to exterminate the three families. He was all by himself, so there was definitely no one from the three families. Therefore, his South Sea Wine Industry was unlucky, and its family was wiped out. The South Sea Liquor Industry was destroyed, and only the Qingyu Bar was left. Naturally, it became the new royal family of the Imperial Court.
Before the other forces could react, Dongfang Qingyu had already joined forces with the Shun Tian Palace to secure the main position at lightning speed. He Qishu was guilty and did not want to cause trouble. There was no time to do anything. It could be said that he had tacitly agreed.
Group, Han Shasha, Three World Group... Several groups recommended the right person to Dongfang Qingyu, but Dongfang Qingyu rejected them and chose a person that shocked everyone - the White-Robed Heavenly Corpse.
The White-Robed Heavenly Corpse was an ordinary member of the Black Tortoise City Group, and it was level 122. There were a lot of such people in the Black Tortoise City Group, and usually, there was nothing special about them. No one would have thought that Dongfang Qingyu would choose him, and even a lot of people did not know how to know him. Logically speaking, the two of them did not have any interaction.
There were hundreds of thousands of members in the Black Tortoise City Group, and more than half of the higher-ups had never seen Dongfang Qingyu before, let alone an ordinary member.
When the White-Robed Heavenly Corpse was called in front of Dongfang Qingyu, it still felt like a dream.
"City... City Lord... City Lord, I... I can't do it, I ..." The white clothed Sky Corpse was too nervous, and it could not even speak properly, not daring to look into Dongfang Qingyu's eyes.
"Don't worry about it. Just work normally. I believe that you can. No matter what decision you make, I will support you wholeheartedly. You are a responsible person. Tell me, will you complete the task according to the quality if I give you a job?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"Yes!" The White-Robed Heavenly Corpse answered loudly without any hesitation.
"That's it. Go to work," Dongfang Qingyu said.
"Ah!" The Heavenly Corpse was dumbfounded. It was so simple, why didn't he say anything?
The White-Robed Heavenly Corpse was brought to the appointment with a confused expression.
"Did the boss help him because he did something that was wronged?" Wang Feiyan looked at the back of the Sky Corpse in white and more or less understood Dongfang Qingyu's thoughts.
There were too many worlds for such a person without any special features. The only difference was that the Sky Corpse in white had been wronged twice. The first time, it went into the water to save somebody, but failed. The family members blamed it. The second time, the Sky Corpse was blackmailed. Because there was no surveillance, no witnesses, the family of the Sky Corpse in white was lost.
The Sky Corpse in white had no place to seek justice. He almost killed himself. He said that it didn't matter if he had to pay for it. Those were just worldly possessions. What he couldn't stand the most was being wronged. He had done a good deed, yet he was framed as someone who had done a bad thing.
As the technology was getting better, many adult cases had been restored, and many people had been vindicated. However, there were still some things that couldn't be found out. The Sky Corpse in white was just like that.
The Sky Corpse was only 28 years old, and it was already the workshop manager of a factory with tens of thousands of people. It had a beautiful wife and a son who was four years old. If it wasn't because of this matter, its life would be very good. For the past two years, every day was torture for him, so much so that he looked to be at least 40 years old, with half of his hair white.
"Our society should still promote positive energy. Some people don't dare to do good things because they can't afford the price." Dongfang Qingyu said.
"There is no such thing as a businessman," Wang Feiyan said.
"That makes sense. The ancient people are teaching with words. It's just that the modern people are fast-paced and forget a lot of things. Building bridges and paving roads is such a good tradition." Dongfang Qingyu said.
"That requires money." Wang Feiyan said.
"A cold environment, that is such a terrible thing." Dongfang Qingyu said.
"Boss, I can't keep up with your realm anymore." Wang Feiyan said.
"An old man fell to the ground. Will you go and help him up?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"No!" Wang Feiyan's answer was very straightforward and firm.
Dongfang Qingyu looked at her and did not say anything.
"If I do this, is the boss going to fire me?" Wang Feiyan asked.
"Let's go." Dongfang Qingyu did not answer.
"What are you going to do?" Wang Feiyan asked.
"Let's go offline and prepare to go to Sanya," Dongfang Qingyu said.
"Boss, are you ready?" Wang Feiyan suddenly asked.
"What?" Dongfang Qingyu did not understand what she meant.
"The First Room, Second Room, and even the Third Room and the Fourth Room are going to meet. Are you ready?" Wang Feiyan asked.
Dongfang Qingyu suddenly stopped and was stunned.
...
When he returned at night, the Sky Corpse still felt as if he were in a dream, and he was afraid that this dream would wake up, and he would lose everything that he had gained. From the moment he had been wronged, not a single day had been happy for him, not a single day had not been like a year, but today, he wished that time had passed slowly, slowly, so that he could experience more of this happiness.
The moment he bent over and reached out to help, his life changed. The car was sold, the house was sold, the house was broken up, his wife was divorced, his son was sentenced to his ex-wife, he paid fifteen hundred dollars a month for his foster care, and it was so low. In the first half of the year, he owed a few times, and when his wife didn't urge him, he felt sorry for himself. After he joined the Black Tortoise Group, his income increased, and his monthly allowance was doubled by three thousand dollars, but the rapid increase in income couldn't make up for the pain in his heart.
Dongfang Qingyu had accepted him as the guardian of the east gate of Azure Dragon City. Not only had it allowed him to reach the top of power in a single bound, but more importantly, it was like a light in the darkness, giving him hope and warmth. He lay on the bed and let his imagination run wild for half an hour before he slowly woke up. The moonlight shone through the exhaust fan's hole on his body. It was cold and told him that this was not a dream.
In fact, it had been a latrine and had been converted into a room, so small that a bed was all it could hold. As for why there was an outlet in the ventilator, he didn't know either, but he didn't see the ventilator anyway, but the outlet became the only natural source of light in the room, and outside the door was a long, dark, moist passage, dark even in the daytime, let alone in the day, where the voice-controlled lights were as dull as the ears of a lord.
But this was already the cheapest house he could find, and after that he'd lost his job, and the plague had made it hard to get a job, and he'd slept in parks and bridges, and it was all right in the summer, but it was hard in the winter, and when he was almost desperate, he'd found the little room, and in this little room he'd spent the most difficult time of his life, and now he was breathing heavily.
He picked up the phone he hadn't used for a long time. The phone was like a watch to him. The only use was to check the time. After that, he would talk to his son once a month. Today, however, there was a change. More than 200 missed calls were almost out of battery.
