I have a book of salvation
Chapter 450: Hiding dirt and ill-gotten gains
Look at the thick air of resentment surrounding the middle-aged man's ghost, like a raging fire that never goes out.
At the same time, through the endless resentment, scenes of revolving lanterns flickered before Yu Chen's eyes.
Let’s talk about the spirit official in front of us, whose name is Qin Jiu. He is in his forties this year, and his status is not low. He is the centurion of the spirit guard of Huaiyu City in Shangjing.
Qin Jiu was an orphan when he was young.
He was abandoned by his unknown parents in a freezing winter. When he was almost freezing to death, he was picked up by a spiritual official surnamed Qin in Huaiyu City at that time and then adopted him.
Naturally, he took the surname of the old spiritual official, and because he was picked up on the ninth day of the lunar month, he was named Qin Jiu.
From then on, Qin Jiu lived with the old spiritual official. The spiritual official taught him how to practice, how to refine energy, what was right and wrong, good and evil, and told him that although the capital seemed peaceful and peaceful, there were countless things hidden in the darkness. All filth and sin.
And the meaning of their spiritual officials' existence is to clear away all these darkness and filth.
Qin Jiu was still young at that time, so he remembered what the old official said.
One note lasts for decades.
Later, the old spiritual official died.
Qin Jiu also naturally became a spiritual official in Huaiyu City.
He does have a talent for cultivation, but it is not very high. Even if he practices day and night, meditates, and works hard in every possible way, at the age of forty, he is still only in the middle of the divine cultivator.
In Shangjing City, where hidden dragons and crouching tigers exist, this is not an extraordinary achievement.
But as a spiritual official, it is enough.
Later, with his character of hating evil, vigorous and resolute methods, and increasingly sophisticated Taoism, Qin Jiu became a centurion of spiritual officials at the age of thirty, and was in charge of dozens or hundreds of young spiritual officials.
Perhaps due to his experience, he had only survived because of the kindness of the old spiritual officials since he was a child. Therefore, although Qin Jiu was not good at words and extremely harsh on the young spiritual officials who had just entered the industry and were very enthusiastic, he was actually very harsh on them. Quite taken care of.
Just like when the old spiritual official took care of him.
He also takes care of the young people in that way.
Also due to his limited talent, and because Qin Jiu had no intention of continuing to climb up the ranks, if nothing else happened, Qin Jiu would have wasted several decades in the position of centurion and then retire and enjoy the past years.
But as expected, something unexpected happened.
It happened a month ago.
During those days, a murderous evil cultivator appeared in Huaiyu City. His cruel methods and killings caused countless people to panic and be inexplicable.
——In Shangjing, this kind of thing is actually not uncommon. There are so many Qi practitioners practicing in Shangjing, and there are always some twisted and filthy people in their hearts. They are just afraid of the harsh laws and dare not really take action on weekdays.
And among thousands of people with evil thoughts, there will always be two lunatics.
The evil cultivator is that he was originally a disciple of a certain Taoist temple, but he was also trapped in his qualifications and his progress was slow. In order to pursue faster progress, he chose to practice evil arts and sacrificed his corpse to the Taoism. In just ten days, he caused many harms. killed dozens of people.
As soon as this incident came out, the Huaiyu City government immediately took action. Qin Jiu led his subordinates to lay down a net of heaven and earth to chase and intercept the evil cultivator.
When the battle ended, the evil cultivator killed him on the spot.
But when this guy was at the end of his rope, he blew himself up like a dead fish.
At that time, a young spiritual official under Qin Jiu was half-broken by the explosion because he could not escape, and he was seriously injured and dying.
Even though he was immediately sent to Shang Yu Palace for treatment, there was no way to save him in the end, and the young spirit official still closed his eyes forever.
Originally, this profession of spiritual official was not a safe one. Every day I dealt with those cruel and evil cultivators who killed people, so it was not surprising that there were casualties.
Huaiyu City Government has also specially set up a death pension for this purpose. Once a spiritual official dies in the line of duty, his family will receive a considerable amount of compensation.
Qin Jiu knew the family members of this young spiritual official who died.
He is just a girl, over a hundred years old, with gray hair, a stooped figure, and old eyes that are cloudy.
But every time she talks about her son, her eyes sparkle with pride.
When the young spiritual official joined, it was the old lady who sent it to him personally.
Qin Jiu visited his mother several times after the young spiritual official died.
The old man sheds tears every time we meet, but he says he will never regret it.
Qin Jiu was dumb and speechless, and couldn't say comforting words. He could only buy some things and bring them over.
Another half month passed.
On this day, a spiritual official under Qin Jiu suddenly came to him in a hurry and said that the mother of the young spiritual official who died in the battle had passed out in the street.
Qin Jiu immediately put down everything he was doing and rushed over to take a look.
It turned out that the old man was too hungry and passed out on the street.
Qin Jiu was angry and puzzled.
The young spiritual official's death pension should be enough to provide him with food and clothing for the rest of his life. Why was he reduced to living on the streets?
Investigate immediately.
As a result, it didn't matter if he didn't investigate, but when he did, he immediately became furious!
——The pension of the young spiritual official has not been paid at all!
Instead, he was detained by people from Huaiyu City’s “Spiritual Warehouse”!
These guys are in charge of the Huaiyu City Cemetery, and they are responsible for the salaries and various appropriations of officials, big and small.
How could Qin Jiu endure his violent temper after learning of such evil things?
Go directly to Naling Warehouse to check!
As a result, you won’t know if you don’t investigate, and you won’t know if you investigate!
Not only the young spiritual officials under him, but in the past few years, since the trusted deputy director of Lingcangchu came to power, the death pensions of almost all spiritual officials and officers and soldiers have been deducted to some extent.
Those who have young and strong relatives at home who are capable of causing trouble are better off, so there will be less deductions.
Like that young spiritual official, there is only a half-dead old mother left in the family, so just take it away.
The reason is that the young spiritual official did not die in a fight with the evil cultivator and does not meet the conditions for pension payment.
When Qin Jiu heard this, he was furious and vowed to investigate the matter thoroughly!
The first person he looked for was Liu Yanlie from Lingcang Storage.
This person is responsible for the payment of pensions from Huaiyu Chengling Warehouse, and all death pensions have to go through his hands.
But when Qin Jiu found him, the deputy director Liu Yanlie looked indifferent to the angry Qin Jiu.
While he was drinking precious spiritual wine and eating a table full of delicious food, he was holding the beautiful dancer in his arms without even looking at Qin Jiu.
He told Qin Jiu not to be impatient and to talk about everything slowly.
He even asked Scary Man to pour Qin Jiu a glass of wine.
Qin Jiu didn't drink, but threw the cup in anger.
The fragrant wine spilled all over the floor.
Liu Yanlie was not angry, so he told him that the glass of wine he dropped was worth his salary for a year of hard work.
He told Qin Jiu that even if he was a centurion for the rest of his life, he would not be able to afford his table of food.
But if Qin Jiu turns a blind eye to the pension issue, he can make Qin Jiu earn money in an instant that he will never earn in his lifetime.
On the contrary, if Qin Jiu persists in his obsession, he will only regret it for the rest of his life.
All in all, coercion and inducement are a two-pronged approach.
But how could Qin Jiu endure it?
He pointed at Liu Yanlie's nose, cursed the moth, and finally left in anger.
The first thing he did when he returned was to start collecting evidence, preparing to report the corruption of Liu Yanlie, deputy director of Huaiyu Chengling Warehouse, to the Huaiyu magistrate.
But as the saying goes, cutting off someone's financial path is like killing one's parents.
Qin Jiu wanted to cause trouble for Liu Yanlie, but the other party had no intention of letting him go after coercion and inducement failed.
Just a few nights ago, Qin Jiu just came home. As soon as he stepped in the door, he felt something was wrong.
But before he could react.
An extremely dazzling and terrifying sword light tore from the dark shadow!
Extremely quiet, extremely fast, like silver flowers blooming in the dark night.
Uh-huh!
Just for a moment.
The sword light penetrated Qin Jiu's chest and tore his heart.
At that moment, he realized that the owner of this sword light was far stronger than him.
In the end, he stared into the dark shadow, unable to even see the other person's face clearly.
Only an indifferent murmur was heard.
"Master Liu is right."
"You bitch, if you don't eat the toast, you'll have to drink wine as a penalty."
Those were the last words Qin Jiu heard, and then he closed his eyes forever.
It was also at that moment that I came to my senses.
——Liu Yanlie.
He found out about Liu Yanlie's embezzlement of the pension of the deceased Ling officials, and he did not accept to be complicit in it.
So the other party was afraid that things would be exposed and sent murderers to kill them.
But what's the use of knowing?
People and ghosts have different paths, yin and yang are separated, and the light goes out after death.
Death is the end of everything.
Qin Jiu's anger, resentment, and unwillingness were ignored by no one.
It turns into a strong obsession that cannot be dissipated.
The officials who shed blood and sacrificed their lives for Huaiyu City, and the young people who dedicated their lives and time to this city, died for Huaiyu and went to Beijing.
In the end, he died, but even his little pension was deducted.
For example, the young spiritual official under Qin Jiu who died in the line of duty did not have any regrets about becoming a spiritual official even until the moment of his death.
His last words were just asking Qin Jiu to treat his mother well.
The results of it?
The pension he paid for with his life was hacked, and his wife was so hungry that she fainted.
And Liu Yanlie, the source of all these evil deeds, is now rich and prosperous, and has no worries!
How could Qin Jiu rest in peace?
Anger and unwillingness turned into a strong last wish and remain in the world.
After reading the revolving lantern, Yu Chen took a deep breath, took out the Book of Saviors, and swung it gently.
During the golden light, Qin Jiu's ghost was captured.
At the beginning of the volume, smoky gray characters appear.
[Fifth Spiritual Wishes]
【Ill-gotten wealth】
[Time limit: three days]
[There will be a reward at the end of the matter]
He raised his head, looked in the direction of Huaiyu City, and sighed softly.
——Sure enough, wherever there are people, there is darkness.
In the mortal court of Daxia, there was filth and corruption.
And in Yuhua Shangjing, which is known as the impeccable city, there are still people who are lining their own pockets and greedy for profit.
Originally, you said that you have great power, and as long as you are really willing to do things, even if you are a little greedy and take a little, it won't be a big problem.
If the water is clear, there will be no fish.
Such is the way of the world.
But Liu Yanlie actually deducted the death pension from the bloody and sweating spiritual officials who had exchanged their lives for it, which was extremely unconscionable.
Shaked his head.
Yu Chen stood up and looked at the sky.
——Tonight, I will be busy again.
The author had diarrhea for a day, and he was completely exhausted. He lay in bed for a day and only typed one chapter. He was really out of shape, so I will update one today. I will resume two updates tomorrow when I feel better. I'm really sorry, brothers...
