Organization
"An advisory role is not enough; I need a more legitimate one."
Gu Jinlai, the Tianyin Tower has been a prominent example.
He already knew what he was going to do next.
And to do these things, and...
To gain more influence through these tasks, he needs a suitable position and a respectable public persona.
As long as he can maintain this persona and always stick to his bottom line, under the Holy Dynasty's great ideal of prioritizing life and ensuring national peace and prosperity, he will always stand on the side of morality.
"Take thirty million taels, hire a few guards, and live a good life."
Gu Jinlai to Zhou Ming, who was waiting outside, "I will try my best to get back the remaining 170 million taels."
Zhou Ming glanced at Gu Jinlai, sensing the heaviness in Gu Jinlai's heart, and clearly understood the pressure Gu Jinlai had to bear in upholding justice for him. "King Gu Wu, that's enough. Getting back thirty million taels is more than enough. The rest..."
"I will do everything in my power to get the remaining 170 million taels for you."
Gu Jinlai interrupted Zhou Ming sharply, his tone filled with an emotion that he couldn't hold back. "I don't know what's wrong with Wind and Rain City. They said the Holy Land is humanity's only hope, and the Holy Dynasty is supposed to unite all forces that can be united to fight against Demonic Beasts. But why is it that even though they've already collected heavy taxes and all the people are united in serving the Holy Dynasty, these Aristocratic Clan families in Wind and Rain City are still trying to oppress others?"
He looked at Zhou Ming: "I will find out the truth. I don't believe that people risk their lives to work hard, produce goods, and pay heavy taxes to maintain the stability and prosperity of the Holy Dynasty, so that the Holy Dynasty can concentrate more power and resources to fight against Demonic Beasts. In reality, all of this has become an excuse for those Aristocratic Clan families to exploit the people!"
"Grown ups..."
Zhou Ming looked at Gu Jinlai with excitement. "Although I am disabled, please allow me to follow you, sir, and contribute my strength to sweeping away the darkness of Fengyu City and to your bright cause."
"You've put your heart into this, but what you need to do next is to rest well and stay away from this mess as much as possible."
"Keep away?"
Zhou Ming said, "Now that things have come to this, is there any possibility for me to stay away from this vortex? Besides, no matter how far I go, the Zhou family will eventually be destroyed, and everything will be irreversible."
A sigh has been uttered Gu Jinlai.
"So please let me go with the adults."
Zhou Ming said sincerely.
Gu Jinlai finally agreed.
For no other reason than what Zhou Ming said, even if he really stayed away from there, he might not be able to escape the vortex.
Wealth can be very tempting.
Thirty million taels.
With the future addition of 170 million taels, it would be enough to make any general, martial master, or even martial king join the hunt for him one after another.
"Since you're so interested, then come with me."
Gu Jinlai said, "The cultivation Cultivation Method I practice is the Chaotic True Demon Body. This Cultivation Method can use the bloodline of ferocious beasts to generate supernatural Divine Ability. Some ferocious beasts have amazing regenerative abilities. If you cultivate diligently, you may be able to grow back the leg and arm you lost in the future."
After saying that, he took Zhou Ming directly to the Inner City.
The order in the Inner City is slightly better than that in the outer city.
Although those powerful and wealthy people still have a hundred ways to easily deal with an ordinary person, at least they should have some rules and regulations. They shouldn't just make up a reason and go to someone's door to kill them, like the Luo family destroyed the Zhou family.
After settling Zhou Ming in, Gu Jinlai found Yan Lie, the vice dean of the Martial Saint Academy.
"You want to join the law enforcement agency?"
Yan Lie was somewhat surprised. "What about your status as a Purifier?"
"It's not like there are always out-of-control individuals and cultists for us to investigate. Most of the time, the Purgers are actually quite free, especially after the Purge Department conducted a major crackdown on out-of-control individuals and cultists this past month. My idea is to go to the Enforcement Academy during my free time and contribute to maintaining the security and stability of Wind and Rain City."
Gu Jinlai, he said in a deep voice, "The Holy Dynasty is known as a holy land in the outside world, but I don't know if it is because the peace and tranquility of these years has made the Holy Dynasty's leaders complacent or for some other reason, but at least in Wind and Rain City, there is still a lot of darkness. This is not conducive to the internal unity of our human race, and even less conducive to the future great counterattack against the Demonic Beasts."
Yan Lie looked at Gu Jinlai, his expression...
It's a bit strange.
However, it is also somewhat complicated.
After a long pause, he said, "You must understand that wherever there are people, there will be conflict. This is unavoidable. Even if our Holy Dynasty does its best to suppress such conflict, it is still impossible to make everyone abide by the law. Therefore, even someone as powerful as the city lord has said that 'appropriate violations' are allowed."
He explained, "As long as a person has made sufficient contributions in guarding a region and hunting Demonic Beasts, even if they occasionally make some minor mistakes, they can be forgiven. As long as fundamental principles are not involved, a minor mistake should not ruin the future of a high-level cultivator."
"I know."
Gu Jinlai said, "The life of an ordinary person and the life of a Martial King cannot be equated, but this is not an excuse for those Martial Kings, Primordial Spirit True Lords, and Celestial Person to act with impunity. No matter what abilities or merits they possess, it does not mean they can do whatever they want..."
At this point, he paused, "Especially many people, they have no merit or ability at all, and they are able to hold high positions entirely because of their parents' help. If they do evil and are not severely punished, I am afraid that it will not be long before they become like the Holy Domain of that time, splitting from within and being breached by Demonic Beasts."
Yan Lie opened his mouth, wanting to dissuade him.
But Gu Jinlai said again, "The Holy Domain back then must have been stronger than the Holy Dynasty now, right?"
The blazing heat remained silent.
Although the current Holy Dynasty is full of powerful figures, it is far inferior to the Holy Domain era a hundred years ago.
After a long pause, he finally said, "I admire your perseverance and determination to cleanse the atmosphere of Fengyu City. I even had similar thoughts back then, but I didn't have the courage."
His expression gradually turned serious. "You should know what price and consequences you will have to pay if you actually do this."
"I know."
Gu Jinlai said, "I have offended the interests of many people, and one after another, top clans will target me and try to eliminate me, but..."
He lowered his head, his expression seemingly filled with sorrow. "If we really do nothing, I fear that one day, what we will have to lose... will be everything."
Yan Lie remained silent.
"I will not die easily. I will take things one step at a time. Therefore, although I have joined the Enforcement Bureau, I hope to start from the outer city."
This Gu Jinlai.
"The outer district law enforcement agency?"
Yan Lie breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this.
In Wind and Rain City, the most powerful person is undoubtedly the city lord, Zhao Hua.
Although the remaining Demon Slayer Hall's Jin Fantian, Garrison Commander Cao Wudao, and Martial Saint Academy's Wu Tianya are of the same rank as him and are among the four giants, they are still a notch below him in some respects.
Below them are the domain lord and various departments, such as the Purification Department, Law Enforcement Department, Civil Affairs Department, Medical Department, and Publicity Department, etc.
After the major departments, it was the turn of the outer city districts.
Although they are all part of Wind and Rain City, the eight outer districts are clearly one level lower than the Inner City.
The area within the city walls is called the domain lord, while the outer city area is simply called the district lord.
Domain lords are often Celestial Person, while district lords are reduced to martial kings or True Lords, and Celestial Person rarely go to the outer districts to assume the position of lord.
Gu Jinlai, it has never been difficult for a Martial King to go to the law enforcement office in the outer city.
"Our Martial Saint Academy is based in the Southeast District and also has great influence over the Southeast Outer District. To some extent, the district lord of the Southeast Outer District is appointed by the domain lord of the Inner City. Therefore, I can arrange for you to be the head of the Outer District Law Enforcement Academy."
Yan Lie pondered for a moment and said, "The head of the law enforcement agency in the outer district is often concurrently held by a deputy district head. Let me see if I can find you a deputy district head position in the outer district."
"Thank you, Headmaster."
Gu Jinlai, they have sincerely bowed.
"No need to thank me, it's just a small token of my appreciation."
Yan Lie sighed, "I don't know if this is good or bad for you..."
"No matter the outcome, I have no regrets."
This Gu Jinlai.
The city of wind and rain is teeming with powerful figures.
However, the number of Celestial Person was less than a hundred, and King Wu had only two or three hundred.
These people occupy key departments in the Inner City and don't care much about the outer city.
Firstly, the outer city is quite chaotic, with numerous matters large and small, making it difficult to manage and seriously affecting their time for cultivation and enjoyment.
On the other hand, most of the out-of-control individuals and cultists are still lurking in the outer city areas where management is not very strict, making them extremely dangerous.
In what year do one or two district chiefs from the inner and outer urban areas not die?
Given this situation, Gu Jinlai, and supposedly a high-level Martial King, with Yan Lie's help, things quickly took shape.
At this moment, Gu Jinlai arrived at the Huanglong Chamber of Commerce.
He helped Zhou Ming purchase a lot of Cultivation Resources from Fengyu City.
With these Cultivation Resources, and given the rapid progress of the martial arts system, he will be able to become a martial general in no time.
With the help of some tools, even if he loses one hand or one foot, he will be able to move freely.
Zhao Yushu was in charge of arranging the supplies.
At this moment, she Orthodox God bringing Gu Jinlai meet another guest.
"Senior Gu, let me introduce you. This is Sister Jin Sixian. She is also from our Huanglong Kingdom."
Zhao Yushu introduced the woman in Gu Jinlai of her, who looked to be in her mid-twenties and had a sophisticated urban style.
Then he said to Jin Sixian, "Sister Jin, this is the Gu Jinlai I told you about, Senior Gu."
"Sure enough, there are quite a few Blue Star who have come to this world fortuitous opportunity chance."
It has been both surprising and yet perfectly reasonable throughout history.
"That's quite a lot."
Jin Sixian looked at Gu Jinlai without much surprise. She smiled and nodded, saying, "It seems our organization is about to expand again."
"Organize?"
All eyes, Gu Jinlai, immediately fell on Jin Sixian.
