Become the Emperor of Man by starting from the Qiyun entry

Chapter 71 Don’t Think Too Much About the Overall Situation
Sure enough.

From the previous interactions, Chu Wujiang has already determined that the gravekeeper really doesn't think much of the Chu family and only treats them as a cash cow.

Now all the nobles in Longcheng have collectively impeached the gravekeeper for dereliction of duty, and their momentum is fierce.

The situation became serious, so they sent people down to try to make a gesture and use the Chu family to disintegrate the aristocratic alliance.

But the gravekeeper was totally wrong to think so.

Because the biggest mastermind behind this impeachment was Chu Wujiang.

Chu Wujiang sneered:
"Miss Yanluo, it is impossible to revoke the impeachment."

"If it weren't for Marquis Jingping's efforts to turn the tide this time, the Ghost King would have been rampant and the entire Dragon City would have been destroyed."

"It is regrettable that the gravekeepers allowed the Ghost King to escape and did nothing during this disaster."

"This makes us ponder whether the current gravekeepers can suppress Emperor Wu."

This accusation was so severe that the joint petition from all the powerful people in Longcheng was enough to attract the attention of the court.

Yanluo was anxious when she heard this and shouted:

"Lord Longcheng, that's not the case."

Chu Wujiang said bluntly:
"What on earth is that?"

A layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Miss Yanluo's forehead. She gritted her teeth and explained:
"The elder suspects that this is a trick used by the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect to lure the tiger away from the mountain."

"This year's Ghost Festival is coming with greater force, and the negative energy emanating from Mangshan is several times more intense than in previous years."

"We are focusing on the overall situation, so we are short on manpower..."

Chu Wujiang sneered when he heard this:

"Then Miss Yanluo does not deny that the gravekeeper was slow and made mistakes in this matter."

"Old housekeeper, remember all these words."

Yanluo is the most outstanding talent of this generation of gravekeepers. The elders would send her out with a certain intention of currying favor.

However, her martial arts prowess did not mean she had a keen political sense. In no time, Chu Wujiang caught her and started to beat her.

The old butler smiled and nodded:

"Yes, Master."

"I have written it all down."

Miss Yanluo's eyes went dark, and she hastily explained:
"No, that's not the case."

"The elders suspect that the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect deliberately released the Ghost King to cause trouble in Dragon City in order to divert the power of the gravekeepers so that they can attack Mangshan and seize the remains of the Martial Emperor."

"This is all a conspiracy of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect."

"We gravekeepers can't be fooled!"

“And we have also sent quite a number of personnel to conduct the search and investigation, but it has not been completed yet.”

One of the strongest men in the previous era, a monster who was almost evenly matched with Di Hao, his remains are still the most top-level ghost secret treasure even after six hundred years.

The imperial court therefore appointed grave keepers, cut up its remains, and scattered them around the place to guard and suppress the rebellion.

A small part of Emperor Wu's remains were suppressed on Mount Mang in Longzhou. The reason for dividing and suppressing them was to prevent the remains from resonating with each other and absorbing strength.

[I see. That makes sense.]

Chu Wujiang suddenly realized.

Xia Yu, the ghost king, may seem crazy, but his behavior is actually full of profound meaning.

Whether it was the assassination of the only son of the Chu family or the planning of the fire in Longcheng, the Wangui Sect was essentially trying to attract the gravekeepers and create an opportunity to seize the remains of Emperor Wu on Mount Mang!
Perhaps this is the real plan of the Wan Gui Sect.

Xia Yu, the ghost king, is just a pawn making trouble in Longcheng and attracting attention!
Whether she launched the attack on Ghost Festival or a few days beforehand, it didn’t matter.

Based on this judgment, the gravekeeper remained motionless as a mountain even though his friendly forces were in trouble.

We should put the overall situation first.

Chu Wujiang sneered and refused to accept this explanation:
"This is just your speculation."

"Every person who neglects his duty will be like you, imagining one conspiracy after another of the enemy."

"If the gravekeeper has a clear conscience, why should he be afraid of impeachment?"

No problem, why are you afraid of the investigation? Do you have something to hide?
Miss Yanluo is not good at debating and is somewhat speechless.

"This this……"

"Impeachment is not a good thing. We gravekeepers have always been fighting for the greater good..."

Yanluo's face was delicate, like a porcelain doll, which made Chu Wujiang want to tease her, so he smiled and said:

"I have never denied the important contribution that grave keepers have made."

"Have you ever given less than a cent for the spiritual rice grown by the Chu family and the medicinal pills purchased?"

“But then was then, and this is now.”

"If the gravekeeper has a legitimate reason, there is no need to fear our impeachment. The saint will make the decision."

Chu Wujiang also didn't want to make the relationship too rigid. For the noble families in Longcheng, what they really wanted was not to kill the gravekeeper or the Sitianjian.

There is no need. The two sides do not interfere with each other and there is no real conflict of interest.

They just want to use this anger to demand corresponding compensation and benefits.

Unfortunately, Yanluo had no idea about the secrets of this political struggle and leaked the information about the gravekeeper right away. Chu Wujiang naturally took advantage of the situation and threw a few more compliments at her.

You are too young to fight with me.

Miss Yanluo was speechless. After the conversation, Chu Wujiang knew everything about the gravekeeper.

"No, that's not right. It shouldn't be like this."

"Master Longcheng, the elder sent me here to protect you."

Miss Yanluo was confused. The old housekeeper almost laughed out loud, while Chu Wujiang nodded and said:
"No problem, I accept your protection."

When Miss Yanluo heard this, her eyes sparkled:
"Then your Excellency is not going to impeach me?"

Chu Wujiang said as a matter of course:
"No, I still want to impeach."

Miss Yanluo was stunned. She understood what Chu Wujiang meant. I will take the benefit and the impeachment will continue.

"How can you do this?"

Chu Wujiang chuckled and said:
"Why not?"

"The gravekeeper has had a long-standing friendship with the Chu family. This time when the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect attacked, they should have protected the Chu family."

"Similarly, the gravekeeper was seriously derelict in his duty regarding the Ghost King. Should I bend the law for personal gain and not impeach him?"

"Chu has no regrets about what he has done."

No, I can't argue with him.

How could he justify such shameless behavior so righteously?

Yanluo suddenly felt that life on Mount Mang was much happier. She only needed to practice and kill ghosts and did not need to be responsible for such complicated matters.

She could only say:
"Lord Longcheng, I, I will report this to Elder Jing..."

A smile appeared on Chu Wujiang's face:
"no problem."

"Go tell Elder Jing that the Chu family is not unreasonable."

"The gravekeeper made a mistake this time, so he needs some compensation."

"For example, the auspicious object held by the gravekeeper is very suitable."

Yanluo felt that she had never seen such a greedy guy in her life. He actually turned the tables and blackmailed the gravekeeper.

In the past, only gravekeepers could cheat the Chu family. How could this be possible?

Unfortunately, she didn't understand these politics, so she had to leave and said:

"Yes, my lord."

When the old butler saw Yanluo leave, he whispered:
"Master, the Chu family still needs a grave keeper."

"Will this make the relationship too strained?"

The fact that the Chu family could become the largest landlord in Longzhou is also related to this friendship.

The greater the power, the more land you own; this is the unchanging unspoken rule of the Mandate of Heaven Dynasty.

The Chu family supports the gravekeeper, so naturally they can take advantage of the power of the other party.

Now that this unbreakable friendship had obviously been broken, the Marquis of Jingping's Mansion naturally agreed wholeheartedly and joined in the impeachment.

Chu Wujiang became more confident as the purple luck arrived. He chuckled and said:
"It doesn't matter."

"The most His Majesty can do is to give a warning to the gravekeeper. We also need to give a warning to the gravekeeper."

"After all, in the eyes of the grave keepers, even if all the people in Dragon City were dead, they would not be as important as the remains of Emperor Wu, so they are so perfunctory."

"If we keep compromising, the gravekeeper will only push us further."

The old butler also whispered:
"Sir, could it be that the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect is indeed planning this?"

Chu Wujiang showed a smug smile:

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, we shouldn't think too much about the overall situation."

"Let the saints worry about that."

“We just need to make our demands known.”

If all the people in Longcheng, including myself, are dead, it has nothing to do with me whether the remains of Emperor Wu are taken away or not.

The gravekeeper doesn't give me any benefits at all, and wants me to bear the consequences.

Think beautiful!
The old butler was stunned for a moment, then smiled with relief:
"The master is right."

"This girl is also a genius. The gravekeeper seems to want to make amends with her."

Chu Wujiang then opened the [Moonlight Nectar], filled the glass, and chuckled:
"I have a good appetite, this little apology is not enough."

"Uncle Fu, come on, let's go."

The Chu family lived an increasingly comfortable life, but the gravekeepers far away in Mangshan were suffering from a great headache.
