Don't be afraid, I'm not a monster

Chapter 118 Your Majesty, gentlemen, great joy, the rich state of Sheng

Wei Zhongxian showed with practical actions that Elder Ji is really a very charismatic person.

Cao Ziming stayed with Ji Changsheng for two or three days, and Haoran's righteousness had evolved to be very flexible.

Wei Zhongxian only followed Ji Changsheng for one day and one night, and his operational efficiency also improved rapidly.

After Ji Changsheng said, "I have suffered all the hardships for you, my Majesty is responsible for the infamy." Wei Zhongxian issued an order to raid his house.

In less than half an hour, Ji Changsheng sat in the middle and had already obtained the copied family information compiled by Wei Zhongxian.

"Elder Ji, it's a bit... shocking."

To be honest, Wei Zhongxian was ashamed.

He also likes to make money.

As a eunuch, he also accepted bribes.

But compared with these civil servants and generals from foreign dynasties, he felt that he really insulted the word "money greed".

He doesn't deserve to be a corrupt official.

Even his dead adoptive father, as a "genuine" "demonic demon", is not worthy of being a corrupt official.

"It's too exaggerated." Wei Zhongxian was refreshed in his three views: "There is a small official who is only the fifth rank, and there are 87 sets of blessed land in his family."

As soon as Cao Ziming walked over, he heard Wei Zhongxian's words.

With a "pop" sound, Cao Ziming fell directly to the ground.

"How many?"

Wei Zhongxian understood Cao Ziming's reaction very well.

He also thought he had read the numbers wrong.

"87 sets of blessed lands, and half of them are the top blessed lands...Mr. Cao, I'm a lowly person to ask, are you richer than you?"

Cao Ziming was stunned: "How can I deserve a rich man like Pengci?"

The most valuable thing about him is the long sword in his hand.

But it was passed on to him by his master.

In the blessed land...he has nothing in the world of mortals.

There is a set in Danqing Pavilion, which belongs to Danqing Pavilion.

After he is sent to Xuandu Temple to communicate, he will be temporarily handed over to other disciples for use.

Needless to say, Senior Brother Cao is a pure proletarian.

He is naturally very suitable to follow Ji Changsheng to engage in revolution... suitable to learn how to use Haoran Zhengqi from Ji Changsheng!
"The most indignant one, the Minister of Household Affairs, kept saying that there were no spiritual stones in the treasury... It is true that there were no spiritual stones in the treasury, but 37 billion high-grade spiritual stones were copied from his house."

With a "plop", Cao Ziming knelt down again.

He shed tears of poverty.

"37 billion high-grade spiritual stones, I have never seen so much money in my life." Cao Ziming murmured.

The best spiritual stones can only be used by all major sects. They are only for practitioners to practice and are not circulated in the mortal world.

The limit that ordinary casual cultivators and ordinary people can obtain is high-grade spiritual stones.

But quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. As long as there are enough high-grade spiritual stones, they can naturally be exchanged for top-grade spiritual stones.

Even in the world of cultivation, 37 billion high-grade spiritual stones is an incredible number.

Let's put it this way, if someone donates 37 billion high-grade spiritual stones to Xuandu Temple, the owner of the temple can personally treat this great philanthropist to a meal, and can award such a great philanthropist a charity medal.

Cao Ziming had never seen so many high-grade spirit stones since he was born.

He has also been refreshed.

Then the anger rose, murderous.

"Junior Brother Ji, you are absolutely right. These people really deserve to be killed. Letting them live would be cruel to the people of the world. This is all the blood of the people of Shengguo and the casual cultivators."

Obviously, this was not earned by the Minister of the Household Department by virtue of his ability.

"Before, I followed Master Wei's brigade to ransack the house, and I felt a little sympathetic when I saw the family members of the criminals. Now that I think about it, how naive I was. I feel sorry for the families of these criminals, in this huge Shengguo, but I don't know how many people were killed by this A swarm of moths ruined the home."

Cao Ziming was a little excited.

There is both the shame of being soft-hearted just now, and the anger at these moths.

Junior Brother Ji was right.

What are the rules and etiquette to deal with these moths?What do you mean by benevolence, justice and morality?
They should all be killed.

Ji Changsheng didn't answer Senior Brother Cao's words.

Senior Brother Cao has made rapid progress recently, and I believe he has strong adjustment ability.

Ji Changsheng was mainly looking at the amount of money that Wei Zhongxian confiscated from his house.

After briefly reading it, Ji Changsheng basically had the answer.

"It seems to pay Danqing Fudi's 'Ru Gou', enough?"

Wei Zhongxian nodded affirmatively: "It's definitely enough."

He saw the simple summary and knew that this was an astronomical figure.

The spiritual stone problem that troubled the princes in the court was perfectly solved in his hands.

Wei Zhongxian found it ironic.

Those people always say that eunuchs like them are not good things.

Wei Zhongxian also admitted that he is indeed not a good person.

The godfather had just been killed by Ji Changsheng, and he immediately hugged Ji Changsheng's thigh and started licking it. This was certainly not something a gentleman could do.

But he was nothing more than a thing, and he felt more like a person than these guys.

Too shameless.

Too greedy.

"Elder Ji, we haven't finished confiscating the homes of these prisoners. At most, half of their property has been collected. They will be carefully counted later." Wei Zhongxian reported: "I am sure of my humble position. If I just pay the Danqing Blessed Land, I will definitely pay for it." There is a surplus, and there will be a lot of surplus.”

Normally, he would withhold half of things like ransacking the house before.

But now working with Ji Changsheng, he has no intention of holding back.

Wei Zhongxian is now fully focused on the "Jinyu Intermittent Pill" that Ji Changsheng promised him.

As Ji Changsheng said, try to live like a human being.

With Ji Changsheng around, and after sweeping away these monsters, Wei Zhongxian felt that he might really have a chance to be the kind of person Ji Changsheng gave him the name.

"good."

Ji Changsheng patted Wei Zhongxian's shoulder approvingly.

Only then did he see Cao Ziming who lost his composure.

"Senior Brother Cao, there's no need to be so rude. You'll get used to it when you see him more often."

Ji Changsheng had seen something even more exaggerated in his previous life.

An ordinary petty official would dare to steal nine figures once he has the power.

The weirdest thing is that there are still people who only dare to be greedy but not spend.

It's called poor and afraid.

Art comes from life.

It's not an exaggeration to show on a TV.

In contrast, these things in Shengguo are not new.

"If I'm not sure that I can extract spiritual stones from these people's homes that are enough to compensate Danqing Blessed Land 'Ru Go', I won't do it easily." Ji Changsheng said sarcastically: "My confidence in these thieves has never wavered. , They can suffer the country, they can suffer the people, but they must not suffer themselves. We can only let us take action to torture them."

Cao Ziming gritted his teeth and said, "It's true that they have to suffer. They are not bitter, and ninety-nine percent of the people in Shengguo can't be sweet."

"Wei Zhongxian, continue copying, and give me all the spiritual stones they put at the bottom of the box. Senior Brother Cao, you follow the supervision. If you find someone who is truly impoverished, write it down silently. We will not let a bad person go. Nor does it wrong a good man.”

Cao Ziming was very moved: "Junior Brother Ji, I am really impressed that you can still maintain your sanity and calmness at this level. I just want to bleed into a river now."

He's a bit over the top and just wants to kill.

In fact, Ji Changsheng's killing intent was stronger than his.

After all, killing people now is nothing but merit in Ji Changsheng's eyes.

However, Ji Changsheng's in-depth legal awareness and the integrity of righteous disciples still made Ji Changsheng insist on following the procedure.

"Senior Brother Cao, don't worry, let's go through the procedures. If you want to kill someone, you still have to have a decent reason. I'll find a reason for you."

"What reason?"

"Congratulations to His Majesty and all the court officials."

This is what Ji Changsheng said, and this is what he did.

3 minute later.

Golden Palace.

Ji Changsheng followed the normal procedure and asked the guard on duty to report.

After obtaining the emperor's permission, Ji Changsheng entered the Golden Luan Hall.

Obey the law and obey the law, start from me.

As soon as he entered the Golden Palace, Ji Changsheng heard the familiar sounds of quarreling again;

"Your Majesty, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. I really can't conjure spirit stones."

"I know that Your Majesty cares about the people, but the national treasury is currently too full of resources to do so."

"Your Majesty, you can't think of everything for the people. Many people are very short-sighted and only think about their own one-third of an acre of land. They don't understand the difficulties of the court."

"Now our Sheng Kingdom resists Ying Kingdom in the north, Qi Kingdom in the south, and there are flood disasters in the southwest. All these piles point to the spirit stones in the treasury. Your Majesty, we really have no spirit stones. Bitter Let the people suffer, and the old ministers are willing to bear the burden."

"Just one word - if your Majesty can fill the national treasury, I can cancel 'Ru Enough'. Now that the treasury is empty and there is no spirit stone, everything is just on paper. Canceling 'Ru Enough' is absolutely impossible."

……

When Ji Changsheng heard this, he said decisively: "Your Majesty, gentlemen, I am so happy, we have the spirit stone."

"Ok?"

Everyone looked at Ji Changsheng.

The prime minister, who was about to curse his mother, immediately swallowed the curse words.

Although he hadn't received the news that Ji Changsheng directed the Scarlet Palace Change last night, it was confirmed that Ji Changsheng killed the prince and princess of the East Palace.

The prime minister was very worried that if he scolded Ji Changsheng, he would go to accompany the prince.

Hold on tight.

Others thought the same way.

But although you can't say bad words, you still have to question it.

"Elder Ji, what are you talking about?"

Ji Changsheng said seriously: "Isn't Your Majesty and you gentlemen worried about the emptiness of the treasury? I'm here to announce the good news to you all. Shengguo is rich, so you don't have to worry about it."

"It's just... nonsense."

Shangshu Hube was tempted to use more dirty words.

But thinking of Ji Changsheng's impressive record, he still only used "nonsense".

"Elder Ji, you are an outsider, so don't interfere with the government of Shengguo."

In just one sentence from Hubu Shangshu, Ji Changsheng was left out of political affairs.

Ying Hongye was right.

There was a lot of talk and power struggle in the court today.

It's a pity that Ji Changsheng doesn't play power struggles with them at all.

"I did not interfere in the government affairs of the Sheng Kingdom. Your Majesty felt that the new king was lacking in virtue when he came to power, so he knelt down and asked this elder to come out and help him."

Ji Changsheng passed the responsibility to the emperor without any psychological pressure.

The emperor sat on the dragon throne and looked at Ji Changsheng sadly and angrily, but could not say a word.

There is nowhere to speak of bleakness.

The emperor didn't speak, and the ministers couldn't do anything.

Hubu Shangshu still reminded: "Your Majesty is young and ignorant, Elder Ji should understand. According to the "Xianmen Convention", people like you who are practicing are not allowed to interfere in Sheng's domestic affairs."

"Of course, those who know me well know that this elder has always been law-abiding."

Ministers: "..."

It's hard to comment.

But I dare not say no.

Can only keep silent.

Ji Changsheng continued: "I'm not here to meddle in Sheng's internal affairs, I'm here to announce the good news to you and Your Majesty. Your Majesty, you, Sheng Country is really rich."

The Minister of the Household Department frowned and asked: "Elder Ji, I am in charge of the Household Department, so why not know the situation of the treasury better than you?"

Ji Changsheng patiently said: "You know the state treasury, but you don't know the private treasury."

"Private treasury? What is a private treasury?"

It was the first time Hube Shangshu had heard of this term.

Ji Changsheng explained: "My lords see that the national treasury is empty and the people in the world are struggling to survive, so they donate generously to support the national treasury. In this way, won't the prosperous country have money?"

The Minister of the Household Department laughed angrily: "Elder Ji, my official salary is meager, and it is not enough to support the whole family. How can I support the national treasury?"

After the words fell, Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue felt that saying this was too disrespectful to Ji Changsheng, so he immediately added: "Of course, since Elder Ji said this, I will definitely respond. It's just that I don't have any money left, so I am willing to donate one hundred high-grade products. Spiritual stones, enrich the treasury.”

"Niu Shangshu is indeed a role model for my generation."

"I am also willing to donate fifty spirit stones."

"I should be seventy."

……

It is an unspoken rule in official circles that if it is a donation, your donation must not be more than that of your boss.

Otherwise you will be put in shoes.

Seeing the ministers giving so generously, the emperor sitting on the dragon throne was very moved.

They are all loyal ministers.

Ji Changsheng was also very moved.

Even though their homes had been confiscated, they were still willing to donate the spiritual stones they had stored outside.

Although the donation is not much, isn’t it worth being moved?
"Young masters are really loyal to the imperial court, but there is no need to donate money. This elder is not here to make apportionments."

Ji Changsheng's words made all the princes put down their worries.

It's not good to apportion.

Ji Changsheng continued: "I told you, I'm just here to announce the good news. Your Majesty, gentlemen, you were just discussing whether the spiritual stones from the national treasury can afford to pay the compensation if 'Ru Suo' is cancelled. I assure you that at least the Danqing Blessed Land For one family, the national treasury can definitely pay the compensation.”

"Elder Ji, don't talk nonsense." The Minister of the Household Department frowned again and said, "I am in charge of the Household Department, and I know the matter of Lingshi the most."

"Niu Shangshu, you only know one, but not the other."

"What is the second?"

"Just now, Six Doors just copied 37 billion high-grade spirit stones from Niu Shangshu's house."

Click!

Tomorrow will be bright and clear, the sun will be shining brightly, and he himself will be in the Golden Luan Hall, but Niu Shangshu still hears a thunderbolt from the blue sky.

He subconsciously thought he was hallucinating.

"Elder Ji, can you say it again? I didn't hear clearly just now."

Ji Changsheng is such a good person, since Niu Shangshu asked him to say it again, he himself wants to meet the requirements of the dead.

"Just now, the six gates gathered the inner guards, and just copied 37 billion high-grade spirit stones from Niu Shangshu's house."

Seeing Niu Shangshu's dazed eyes, pale face, and trembling body, Ji Changsheng knew that Niu Shangshu must be very happy, and he was very happy for him.

"Niu Shangshu, you have been in charge of the Ministry of Revenue for so many years, but you have never seen so many spiritual stones in the treasury, right? Don't worry, all this money will belong to the treasury from now on. The years of problems that have plagued the treasury's emptiness have disappeared. Cry out. It's not a sin for a man to cry. .”

Ji Changsheng felt that his heart was truly kind.

He understood Niu Shangshu's ecstatic mood at this time very well.

"These 37 billion high-grade spiritual stones alone are almost enough to compensate for the insufficient area of ​​the 'Danqing Blessed Land'. Your Majesty, gentlemen, are you surprised? Hey, Niu Shangshu, are you so surprised that you almost fainted? This How could this be?"

Ji Changsheng raised his hand and poured a burst of void water directly on Niu Shangshu's head to help him wake up.

How can you be dizzy at such a happy moment?
Everyone wants to rejoice.

Niu Shangshu came back to his senses, looking at Ji Changsheng, his eyes were tearing and his lips were trembling.

"Ji Changsheng, you stole my house?"

Ji Changsheng could not let himself be blamed for this, so he corrected him seriously: "It was Liumen and the inner guards who did it. This elder never does such shameless things as competing with the people for profit."

Niu Shangshu's trembling spread from his lips to his whole body: "Did you really copy my house?"

Ji Changsheng thought for a while, and tentatively asked, "Like copying?"

"puff!"

Niu Shangshu vomited blood out of anger.

"If enough", is it enough?
He still has a clue in his heart.

Then "like copying", did you copy or not?
Naturally, he had something to worry about.

And the figure of 37 billion high-grade spirit stones, if it hadn't been copied from his home, how could it be so accurate.

"Ji Changsheng, you must die!"

After speaking, Niu Shangshu really fainted.

This time Ji Changsheng did not use the Great Awakening Technique on Niu Shangshu again.

He just sighed lightly, and said with relief: "Niu Shangshu fainted with joy. He has been in charge of the treasury for many years, and he has worked hard without credit. This elder understands his ecstatic mood now, so I don't care about him. Your Majesty , I am a philanthropic person who does not show blood. Sell me a favor and let Niu Shangshu die a more dignified death - Caishikou Lingchi."

Ji Changsheng, who was kind and charitable, made all the princes and His Majesty shudder at the same time.

The prime minister was the first to react.

He is the Prime Minister after all.

The psychological quality is still better than others.

He knew that Niu Shangshu would definitely not be able to save him.

37 billion top-grade spirit stones were searched from his home, even if the Heavenly King Laozi came, he would not be able to save him.

"Elder Ji is really compassionate." The prime minister first praised Ji Changsheng, and then immediately drew a clear line with Niu Shangshu: "On weekdays, Niu Shangshu is seen in simple clothes, but I didn't expect that he actually accepted so many spiritual stones in private. He should be executed by Lingchi .”

Ji Changsheng praised the prime minister: "Your Excellency, you still know the general situation and take into account the overall situation. No wonder the official position is higher than Niu Shangshu, and the family property is also more than Niu Shangshu."

The prime minister's heart almost stopped suddenly: "Elder Ji, you are joking, the real prime minister is completely different from moths like Niu Shangshu."

"That's right, not many spirit stones were found in the prime minister's house." Ji Changsheng nodded and said, "It's just that a spirit card of the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce was found from the prime minister's house, and the prime minister's wife explained that there are 98 billion high-grade spirit stones in the spirit card. "

Speaking of this, Ji Changsheng praised the prime minister again: "The prime minister's spirit card did not exceed [-] billion, which I did not expect."

The prime minister's face turned livid: "I am a veteran of three dynasties, and the Great Ancestor personally gave me the iron certificate of the alchemy book. Why do the six gates and the inner guards dare to copy the home of this prime minister? Where is the national law? Where is the imperial edict?"

Ji Changsheng really didn't know that the Prime Minister had such a background.

He is a reasonable man.

So he said to the prime minister: "You want an imperial decree? Then I will ask His Majesty to write one for you now."
