His newly established bounty hunter department, along with various organizations and regulations, including the leaderboard, were all designed to incubate this market.
A larger market means a larger budget and more lucrative opportunities.
In addition, there are taxes and land revenue.
Eating until one's belly is full is not a problem.
Just by looking at how many independent armed forces Wang Zhi has under his command, you can tell that he is very well-off.
Corruption has always existed.
The crackdown on corruption in Lingbi was not very effective.
After all, they had just finished fighting a war and needed to recuperate.
You have to make sure those above are well-fed before those below can be well-fed.
Rushing to crack down on corruption will only breed resentment among the people.
Sometimes, when Qin Che was in the position of regent, even if it wasn't considered collusion, he couldn't help but blend in with the crowd.
His first priority is to ensure the unity of his own side and the interest group.
He is the biggest faction.
He took the lead, and everyone followed suit, eating meat and recognizing him as their elder brother.
Only then can they work for him and be loyal to him.
Let the common people suffer a bit; after all, Qin Che won't bear the blame, someone else will take the fall for him.
Autumn followed Qin Che with disdain; this Cheng Cai was truly a cancer.
It would be strange if the master didn't teach him a lesson.
Wang Zhi also realized what was going on.
Qin Che doesn't care whether they get fat from their food, but that's all.
He could even forgive Cheng Cai's actions, after all, he was also trying to survive, and his behavior wasn't too bad.
It's quite normal for people to use their power to run businesses, monopolize profits, and abuse their power for personal gain.
It's fine as long as we don't offend Qin Che.
Since we've gotten ourselves into this mess, we have to pay the price.
But Wang Zhi had a vague feeling; his unique political intuition told him that Duke Qin was somewhat uncomfortable.
This atmosphere within the Glory Court fueled the arrogance of many.
The threshold for greed is limitless; if left unchecked, it will only become increasingly unsightly and unbridled...
Wang Zhi couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his brow again.
He should reward this enforcement team properly when he gets back.
Handle cases impartially.
He didn't show favoritism to anyone, which Qin Che quite appreciated.
He glanced at the law enforcement captain beside him, who was keeping his head down and not saying a word, and thought to himself that this kid had potential and could be promoted.
Who knows what the outcome would have been if it had been one of the other two enforcement teams?
Who knows, in order to save face for Cheng Cai, they might favor the direction of the investigation, causing Qin Gong to suffer injustice, which would result in the deaths of many people.
...
That night,
Cheng Cai led the main force back from the ruins.
Today they fought fiercely underground, killing many ferocious beasts; their corpses piled up like mountains, and they were all brought out.
Quite a few people died.
Cheng Cai understood that if they persisted for a while longer, they could open up the entrance to the urban cluster and unearth a treasure!
With his power and influence, he could easily make a lot of money by getting involved in the recycling business, buying and selling, and taking a cut.
The acquired goods can then be resold at a high price.
They can earn a second sum of money.
They're incredibly fat.
Cheng Cai works very hard.
Upon returning to the camp, they learned that all the soldiers stationed there had been killed!
Cheng Cai was furious: "Who did this?!"
His roar carried far and wide.
After inquiring around, the subordinate returned and reported: "Boss, a case occurred in our camp during the day. Old Huang's men, including himself, were all killed."
These words enraged the officers in the tent.
"Damn it, who gave them the guts!"
"Those who dare to kill us, they're tired of living!"
"Avenge Old Huang!"
"Boss, let's find out who did this!"
"They're bullying us! It must be those big landlords who have a grudge against us. Damn it, I'm going to smash their place up!"
These officers killed quite a few rabid beasts today.
My blood is boiling.
They were shouting that they wanted to avenge Old Huang.
Cheng Cai's face was also grim: "Murder in broad daylight, that's easy to investigate. Question them one by one!"
"yes!"
Cheng Cai added, "Send a telegram to Polaris City and ask Captain Liao to help me contact the inner court. I have a feeling this matter is not simple."
"yes!"
The case was quickly solved.
When Cheng Cai found out, he was furious, but he held back.
They also sent people to investigate the location of the murderer.
He has connections in Polaris City. He knows that Qin Che was taken away and then released, so his status must be quite high. Moreover, Wang Zhi personally went to release him and even scolded Xu Zhi and the others. Afterwards, he was given a promotion and transfer order.
After thinking it over, Cheng Cai felt that he couldn't act rashly.
For Wang Zhi to personally step in and release the person, the other party's identity must be extraordinary.
His inside man in Polaris City was actually Law Enforcement Liao.
Polaris City has three law enforcement teams.
This Law Enforcer Liao was his old fellow townsman, both from the oasis. They later served together at Fort 21, working as subordinates of Huang Shiyao.
They were old comrades-in-arms.
Law Enforcement Officer Liao told him, "It's true. Wang Zhi personally released him. He's been living in Wang Zhi's newly built villa all this time, but we can't find out his identity. He's probably some important person from inside the wall, just a friend of Wang Zhi."
"Damn it, this is the kind of guy who dares to kill my men?!"
Liao the Enforcer said, "I've contacted the inner court for you. He'll ask Wang Zhi soon and give you an answer."
"Okay, what about me?"
"Don't do anything yet, let's investigate thoroughly first."
"good!"
...
As the saying goes, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake.
Even if Qin Che came from inside the wall, Cheng Cai wasn't afraid at all.
He has been operating here for many years, and his influence is deeply entrenched. He also has a complex network of connections and deep-rooted interests.
What can a nobleman from inside the walls do to him?
Cheng Cai had connections within the inner court, and they held high positions. He made contact with one of them the very next day.
"It's best not to make a move. He's more complicated than you think. Take my advice and just let it go."
"Just let it go like that? Old Huang is dead!" Cheng Cai said, suppressing her anger.
"Are you going to listen to me or not? If you don't, fine, but if you cause big trouble, you'll have to clean up your own mess!"
The call ended.
Cheng Cai was so angry that she smashed the phone!
Are they afraid to offend even the inner court?
Who exactly is this person?
Cheng Cai thought about it all night but refused to admit that he had lost, and lost completely.
Old Huang was a respected veteran in the military, and also a psionicist.
They had a better future ahead of them, but they still stayed by my side.
Such loyalty.
Now that he's been killed, as his superior, he doesn't even dare to seek revenge. If word gets out, how will he lead his troops in the future?
"Fine, fine, if none of you care, I'll go get my revenge myself."
Cheng Cai gritted her teeth, secretly making up her mind. The anger in her eyes was suppressed and slowly turned cold.
