A Small Punishment!

"Okay, but I don't have it on me right now. Why don't you come with me to get it?"

Ye Jing said with a smile, as if he were a harmless little lamb waiting to be slaughtered!

But what they're really thinking, these people will probably regret going with Ye Jing to retrieve it once they find out.

"Okay, go quickly!"

Captain Gao was overjoyed, his mind filled with fantasies about what life would be like after obtaining so many Spirit Stones!

Even the skinny guy was fantasizing about his share of the profits!

Even if he only had one Spirit Stone, it would be enough for him to live a life free from financial worries.

Driven by self-interest, everyone seemed to have forgotten that Ye Jing could easily break the skinny man's arm.

Perhaps they had considered this: these dozen or so men were all strong and capable constables, and Ye Jing didn't look very old; how much skill could he possibly possess?

If the other party dares to resist, they will swarm them and hack them to death. They figure the other party has no powerful connections and wouldn't dare to cause them trouble!

Driven by enormous profits, they believed they could ignore this issue.

But now, whichever possibility it may be, it would be a devastating blow to them.

"Let's go then!"

Ye Jing turned and walked in one direction.

Captain Gao and his men immediately followed.

Qiuyue quietly followed beside the young master, blinking her big, innocent eyes. She knew that the young master was about to trick her!

"My guest room is in the inn inside this alley."

The group followed and arrived at a secluded alley!

Ye Jing pointed to an ordinary inn and said, "My money is here. Come in with me!"

Captain Gao frowned as he looked at the dilapidated hut. He didn't remember there being an inn like this before!

Is it newly opened?

I need to make a note of this; it'll be useful when I collect management fees later.

Seeing the people coming and going and the diners eating inside, it seemed no different from a normal inn, so there was no suspicion.

He and his men followed him inside.

The people in the inn were surprised to see so many people arrive at once, but when they saw the official robes of Captain Gao, they immediately became obedient and didn't dare to even breathe loudly!

Captain Gao was very satisfied with this result. If these ordinary people dared to rebel against officials like them, how could they possibly maintain their positions?

Ye Jing led his men directly up to the second floor and then pushed open a door!

Then, pointing to a table inside, he said, "The money is right there!"

Captain Gao glanced around the room; it was very simple, with only a bed and a table, and no other furniture.

Ye Jing didn't close the door. He walked directly to the table, lifted the cloth on the table, and revealed a pile of Spirit Stone underneath!

Captain Gao and the others' eyes lit up; sure enough, there were many Spirit Stones!

At least thousands!

They're rich now!

The lean man was so excited that he trembled all over; this was a scene he had never seen before!

It was so moving; he felt a sense of peace and contentment in dying.

Captain Gao looked at Ye Jing, then said with a smile, "Young man, where did you get these Spirit Stones?"

He still retained a sliver of sanity.

"Don't worry, Captain Gao, I found these Spirit Stones in a dilapidated temple outside the city. Their source is absolutely clean!" Ye Jing said with a smile.

"Haha, that's great! We'll accept these!"

The Captain Gao's eyes lit up as he pounced on the pile of Spirit Stone, and the other constables did the same, all overjoyed, and rushed towards the Spirit Stone as well.

"Then, esteemed guests, please enjoy yourselves. I'll take my leave now!" Ye Jing smiled and slowly withdrew from the guest room with Qiuyue.

Captain Gao and the others didn't respond to Ye Jing; they just kept stuffing Spirit Stone into their pockets!

"Young Master, what will happen to them?"

Qiuyue followed Ye Jing out of the guest room and asked with some curiosity.

"You'd better not look, it's disgusting!" Ye Jing shook his head with a laugh, then waved his hand in front of his nose. "And it stinks!"

Qiuyue became even more curious. "It's alright, young master, I can endure it."

Qiuyue knew that from the very beginning, the young master had activated the Illusion Array, including her.

So she didn't know exactly what happened!

"In that case, let's be prepared!" Ye Jing shook his head. "But we'll just watch from afar; I can't stand looking at it up close either."

Ye Jing then led Qiuyue to a rooftop and disappeared from sight.

"This is perfect, I can see it!"

Ye Jing sat down directly, then patted the seat next to him, gesturing for Qiuyue to sit down as well.

Qiuyue was somewhat confused, but she sat down anyway.

"Young master, where are you looking?"

"At the government gate!"

Ye Jing pointed in that direction.

Qiuyue was about to ask what she was looking at.

Sudden.

A burst of light shone in front of the government office.

Then, Captain Gao and his men appeared in the square in front of the government office.

Moment.

Qiuyue opened her mouth wide, then quickly sealed her nose with her Spiritual Qi and closed her eyes.

"Young Master, this is disgusting! How could you use that thing?!"

"Abusing the law and using public office for private gain—this is their punishment. Let's go!" Ye Jing glanced at it and then looked away; it was simply too offensive to bear.

"Young Master, I'll listen to you next time." Qiuyue regretted it; she had never seen such an eye-watering scene in her life.

"Haha, I told you, but you wouldn't listen!" Ye Jing chuckled and then left the rooftop with Qiuyue.

And in front of the government office.

Captain Gao and his men were dumbfounded!

Weren't they just in the inn?

How did we end up here all of a sudden?

Before they could even process what was happening, they were hit by a stench.

Everyone looked down and discovered that the once radiant Spirit Stone had turned into lumps of dark yellow, sticky excrement!

His hands and pockets were full of them!

"Vomit!"

They were so disgusted that they vomited right away, but when they tried to wipe their mouths with their hands, they found that their hands were covered in excrement!

It was applied directly to my lips!

"Vomit!"

Another wave of nausea!

Passersby who witnessed this scene were also shocked to see a knife stabbed in the buttocks!

They'd seen people perform on the street before, but this was the first time they'd ever seen someone eat excrement in the street!

Furthermore, the official robes they wore were those of the stewards and constables.

Performing this whole thing right in front of the government office is just too absurd!

Is this permitted by the government?

Passersby couldn't understand it, nor did they want to, because the scene was simply too beautiful!

I dare not look any longer!

They felt their stomachs were going to explode if they looked at it for even a second longer!

This incident directly resulted in the dismissal of all the constables, including Captain Gao, and they were also fined a whole year's salary!

Because they not only lost face for themselves, but also for the government!

The officials were eating excrement right in front of their own government office!

If word gets out, I'll lose all face!

However, none of this had anything to do with Ye Jing. He and Qiuyue had switched identities, so he couldn't be blamed!
