The Uchiha of Today Are All Righteous

Upon hearing Qingcheng's words, Ashi-moto Meiling smiled and said, "Qingcheng-kun, you finally called me correctly this time. I thought you would call me Meiyu again."

Qingcheng looked at Meiling and saw that she had acquired a more mature, womanly air about her. Her fair, oval face had also become more sophisticated. Qingcheng thought to himself, "This is all thanks to me."

Seeing this, Shouhon Yihan thought to herself, "This woman is the Minister's first woman, and Yamanaka Fu even had her father arrested and beaten. This is courting death. If the Minister suddenly decides to take in that red-haired old man, Yamanaka Fu will definitely become worthless in the Minister's eyes. Hehehe."

Then, Shouhon Yihan said with a fawning expression, "Hello, beautiful lady, my name is Shouhon Yihan, and I am the vice-captain of the Konoha Police Force. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Meiling was quite surprised to see Shouhon Yihan's enthusiasm. She thought to herself, "This Konoha Madman always drains people dry when he imposes fines. Now he's trying to please me. It seems that Qingcheng-kun can still control this Konoha Madman."

Qingcheng spoke directly, "Minister Zhang, you should go back to the Police Force first! I'm going home after work." After saying that, he walked up to Meiling, took Meiling hand, and walked towards the Uchiha Clan.

Upon seeing this, the villagers shouted, "Minister Qingcheng, you must get married soon! The righteous Uchiha Clan must not be wiped out! We, the villagers of Konoha, are all waiting for the righteous Uchiha Clan to return!"

Some villagers even shouted, "Minister Qingcheng, do you still want women? Just say the word and I'll send them to you right away!"

A group of female ninjas said with envy, "That red-haired girl is so lucky. She actually married into the Uchiha Clan, which is the most handsome ninja clan in Konoha!"

Meiling looked at Qingcheng's smiling face and said again, "Qingcheng-kun, I've actually wanted to come out and see you several times, but my stubborn father wouldn't allow it, so I could only watch you from afar in the crowd."

Meiling smiled again and said, "I was really happy to hear that you single-handedly defeated Danzo and became a hero of Konoha, but I'm still a little sad to hear that you're going to marry another girl."

Meiling smiled again, then said seriously, "After thinking about it these past few days, I know your approach is correct. If your Uchiha Clan wants to rise again and revive, you'll definitely need to find more women and have more Uchiha Clan children."

Qingcheng extended his right hand again, placing it directly on Meiling's forehead, then gently tapping it. With a smile, he said, "Thank you for your understanding. I know this is very unfair to you, but that's how it is. My feelings for you remain the same. There's no perfect solution in this world; I will not betray Honglai, nor will I betray you."

Meiling looked at Qingcheng's sincere face and said with a smile, "Qingcheng-kun is quite funny; he can even recite poetry."

Qingcheng smiled again, his face beaming with excitement, and said, "I, Uchiha Qingcheng, am the greatest talent in Konoha. I'm more than just a poet! I'm also an expert in all-in betting and shady dealings."

Upon hearing this, Meiling smiled awkwardly and said very seriously, "I really didn't realize that Qingcheng-kun has such a wide range of interests."

Qingcheng chuckled again, then said with a serious expression, "Last time at the hospital, I hadn't even had a chance to tell you before I was discharged. When I went to find you, I ran into Ashi-moto Kankan, that red-haired old man. He pointed his finger at my nose and called me Evil Uchiha. Can you believe it?"

Upon hearing this, Meiling said with an embarrassed expression, "My dad really hates the Uchiha Clan. He used to go and yell at the Uchiha Clan Police Force all the time, but after coming home this time, he started to miss the old Uchiha Clan Police Force."

Meiling chuckled softly and continued, "My dad said they're all good people. Even if you point your finger at them and curse, the Uchiha Clan members will arrogantly think you're just jealous of my strength and won't bother with ordinary people. But the current Police Force is just like bandits, they're all bloodsuckers of Konoha. Those exorbitant fines have already made my family poor."

Looking at Meiling's resentful expression, Uchiha Qingcheng comforted her, "How much was your dad fined? I'll pay you back when we get back to the Uchiha Clan. When you go home, you can take it and give it to your dad."

Upon hearing Qingcheng's words, Meiling said gratefully, "Thank you, Qingcheng-kun. My father was fined a total of 240 million, of which 190 million was his life savings. The 50 million Ryo were the dowry you gave him, which were then stolen by members of the Police Force."

Qingcheng recalled in his mind that the fine issued to Ashi-moto Kankan by the Police Force was only 110 million yuan, while more than 80 million yuan of the fine had been pocketed.

Qingcheng cursed inwardly, "These unreliable guys, they even managed to embezzle from the minister through shady dealings! It's only 190 million in total, and you guys pocketed 80 million in kickbacks. I told you to go out and embezzle on the streets, and you actually tried to embezzle from me!"

Qingcheng smiled at Meiling and said, "It's alright, it's only 190 million. I'll give you 200 million when we get home."

This is unavoidable. The members of the Police Force have all been corrupted by Qingcheng. They want to make money from anything they see, and everyone knows how to do shady things, so naturally, kickbacks will occur.

Qingcheng thought to himself, "My Uchiha Clan cousins are the best. They all work honestly and I've never seen a single Uchiha Clan take a kickback."

Qingcheng sighed again, thinking to himself, "Another day of missing my Uchiha Clan cousins. If these clansmen were still alive, I could have launched a coup right away and skipped the whole process of cultivating my own power."

Along the way, many villagers greeted Uchiha Qingcheng with smiles, and some even shouted, "Minister Qingcheng, when are you going to become the Fifth Hokage? This Third Hokage is senile; he's turned robbery into the Beautiful Konoha Plan. If he stays Hokage for any longer, I'm afraid Konoha will explode!"

Some villagers spoke up directly, saying, "Minister Qingcheng, please take office as soon as possible. When you become the Fifth Hokage, you must stop the Konoha Crush Plan!"

Meiling looked at the popular Qingcheng with obvious joy, thinking to herself, "Dad, I really didn't misjudge him. The Uchiha Clan nowadays are all righteous."
