Please Do Not Disturb My Cultivation - Chapter 21

Chapter 21 The End and the Confetti

Huaixiu couldn’t help but worry. “Then hurry up and go get the gold.”

Sheng Huaixuan smiled. “Aren’t you worried that your Brother Longxing won’t be able to take it?”

Huaixiu spat: “I’m worried about you. Besides, those scumbags from the headquarters deserve it.”

At this moment, the governor-general’s chief secretary, Cheng Hexin, barged in.

“Governor, ah, madam, hello.”

Huaixiu said amiably, “Xiao Xin, it’s already so late. What’s the matter?”

“It’s an urgent report from Changshan County,” Cheng Hexin replied. “The governor-general said that any telegram from Changshan County should be given to him immediately.”

Huaixiu and Sheng Huaixuan looked at each other with worry written all over their faces.

Sheng Huaixuan was more shrewd. He said calmly, “Hand it over.”

Sheng Huaixuan read through the telegram quickly and his expression turned strange.

Huaixiu asked worriedly, “What’s wrong? What happened to that kid?”

Sheng Huaixuan shook his head and passed her the telegram.

Huaixiu was puzzled. “He wants the seventh construction team to go back? Where did he get the money? He doesn’t want them to work for nothing, does he?”

“That’s impossible. The team won’t start until they see the money. That way, it won’t be of any use other than reaping the ire of the seventh construction team.”

Sheng Huaixuan thought for a moment and said to Cheng Hexin, “Send a telegram back and ask him where he got his money from.”

A moment later, Cheng Hexin replied, “They said that County Head Lin used his special connections and the Empire gave priority to him.”

Sheng Huaixuan and Huaixiu were even more confused. Huaixiu asked, “Does this kid have connections?”

Sheng Huaixuan shook his head. “His familial background is crystal clear. If you insist that he has any connections, it’s me.”

After thinking for a moment, he said, “Give me the telephone. First, contact Changshan County’s governor’s office.”

A moment later, Cheng Hexin shook his head. “No one answered.”

Huaixiu said unhappily, “How can he still sleep at this time? Call his home. I’ll scold him for being insensible.”

Cheng Hexin shook his head helplessly. “He doesn’t have a phone at home.”

“Contact Changshan County’s Finance Department!”

A moment later, Cheng Hexin passed the phone over. “It’s connected, governor-general.”

“Hey, who are you? I’m very busy right now.”

“I’m Governor Sheng Huaixuan.”

With a loud bang, it seemed like something had flipped over. Then, he heard someone shouting in terror, “It’s over! Old Lei, come quickly. We’re finished! It’s over! Old Lei! Come and get it!”

After a few seconds, someone picked up the phone. “Hello, I’m Lei Tiantong, Director of the Finance Department of the county hall.”

“I’m Sheng Huaixuan. How much money do you have now?”

“We have assets that are worth about 16-17 million.”

“Where did they come from?”

“From the county governor.”

“What did he say?”

“He said he pulled some strings, and the Empire has a special priority in distributing it, but I don’t think it’s possible. There’s cash, gold, jewelry, precious gems, and a Posilda Sapphire valued at 1.5 million to 1.8 million.”

“What is this money for?”

“Special funds for reconstruction after the disaster.”

“Oh.” Sheng Huaixuan remained silent for a few seconds before saying, “Keep it up. If you have any difficulties in selling them out, you can ask the state for help.”

“Okay.”

“Also, if anyone asks about the money in the future, don’t say things like making use of connections or the Empire prioritizing you. It’s not good for unity. Do you know? This is the relief money that the governor-general’s office gave out according to normal procedures. It’s just that the funds are temporarily lacking, so they used the precious items in the storeroom as replacements. Do you understand?”

“Understood.”

“Alright, I’m hanging up. Keep it up.”

“Bye.”

After he put down the phone, the room fell silent. After a while, Sheng Huaixuan smiled and said, “This kid is more ferocious than I thought. He’s not a cub, but a crocodile.”

Huaixiu was still in disbelief. “Where did he get the money from? Did he really become a robber?”

“So be it. I don’t care if he gets the money by robbing and killing as long as it’s meant to rebuild 300,000 homes.”

Sheng Huaixuan smiled and passed the phone to his secretary. “Go and inform the seventh construction team. Tell them to hurry back and reprimand them severely. Tell them that the money was on its way, but they ran away too soon. If this happens again, punish them severely!”

“Also, get the first county governor of the Qing Army here!”

The next day.

Soul Essence: 13%

Not quite enough.

As Lin Wen ate the breakfast that Fang Weiwei had brought for him, he was thinking.

This recovery was too slow.

However, he could not drag this out, or else the losses would be even greater.

He could only act rashly.

After breakfast, Lin Wen went to Yuan Zhimen, the deputy director of the office, and told him to get ready. In the afternoon, there was a meeting of all officials of the town level and above.

Yuan Zhimen was excited. He shook his fat body and ran off to make preparations.

In the afternoon.

In the conference room of the county hall.

Nearly half of the hundred seats were taken. Except for a few people who had special reasons, most of them were here.

Although there were many people, the venue was extremely quiet. No one spoke.

Not long after, Lin Wen appeared.

Without any special effects, he sat on the main seat and started speaking.

There was not even foreplay.

“Changshan County has suffered a serious disaster. The reconstruction work must begin immediately.”

“I will establish a post-disaster reconstruction team. The people who are transferred to the team will be temporarily replaced by their deputies so that they can be devoted to the reconstruction work.”

“I’ll be directly in charge of this special reconstruction team.”

Just as he finished speaking.

A baldy stood up. “I object!”

It was Li Tupo, the director of the county hall. He looked around and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lin Wen.

“Objection overruled. Sit down!”

Baldy’s face instantly turned red as he said loudly, “This doesn’t conform to the due procedure at all! The establishment of a specific work group requires the approval of the county council and the higher authorities before it can be established!”

“Fang Weiwei!” Lin Wen laughed coldly. “Read out the Commissioner’s Power to him!”

The baldy’s face turned from red to pig liver. “You’re abusing your power! You set up a work group to throw those who oppose you into it and deprive them of their authority. You, you’re committing dictatorship!”

“That’s right.”

Lin Wen looked at him with pity.

“I’m indeed committing dictatorship.”

“Do you have a problem with that?”

Baldy’s face turned from red to pig black. He shouted, “You heard it! This person said that he is going to do dictatorship!”

He held up a document as if it were an imperial edict.

“Don’t be afraid, everybody. Chief Yu of the Highest Council of the Empire has issued a document authorizing me to be an imperial inspector of Changshan County. I’m responsible for the corruption and misdeeds of officials in this county.”

Lin Wen sneered and walked down from the stage.

Aura Observation had been running. In his eyes, there were all kinds of officials in all kinds of colors.

Some of them were extremely dark, and this baldy was one of them.

There were also a few extremely excited people who had clearly come prepared.

He was going to catch them all today!

Lee Tupo did not sense the danger behind him. He was still shouting, “I have the right to investigate the abuse of power of this new county governor. Furthermore, according to my investigations, he is also involved in a sensational murder case, a fraud case, an unauthorized bidding, and many other illegal acts such as bribery. His end is coming…”

Clang!

He looked back in disbelief and saw the hammer in the young county governor’s hand.

“You! Inspector guards! Come…”

Clang!

The second time.

The baldy fell to the ground and fainted.

The crowd was in an uproar.

Five men in black rushed in from the side door and headed straight for Lin Wen.

At the same time, several people stood up and shouted, “The county governor has killed someone! The county governor has killed someone in public!”

They were the chief and deputy chief of the Department of Public Security in Changshan County, the chief and deputy chief of the Special Investigations Bureau, the chief of the Department of Agriculture, and the chief of the Water Conservancy Bureau.

They also rushed towards Lin Wen. Then, dozens of security officers and supervisors rushed in from the front door, with shackles in their hands.

They shouted, “The chief criminal, Lin Wen, will be executed! The remaining evildoers will be pardoned. Those who obstruct us will be punished!”

The officials near Lin Wen all crawled backwards in terror.

But there was no trace of fear on Lin Wen’s face, only a cold smile. He stepped back from the podium.

“Fang Weiwei, take the Commissioner’s Power document and go to the garrison of Changshan County. Tell him to bring soldiers to suppress the rebels!”

Fang Weiwei, who had been hiding by the door, immediately ran out.

The head of the Public Security Department shouted, “Catch that bitch!”

The security guard outside the door tried to grab her, but Fang Weiwei dodged and ran out. A few more people chased after her.

The rest of the people surrounded Lin Wen, and the five men in black took the lead.

Lin Wen took a look. After confirming that Fang Weiwei was safe, he sneered and said, “You guys are finished.”

Agility of Cats

It was a green Qi Cultivation Stage spell that consumed 10% of the Soul Essence to gain the agility of the Spirit Cat. This would last for 16 hours.

An invisible green light entered Lin Wen’s body.

It was like drinking from a spring.

His spirit was no longer repressed. His soul was no longer dry. This was the feeling of cultivating!

Lin Wen raised his large hammer and struck five times at a speed that mortals could not see clearly.

Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang. The five men in black fell to the ground. As they were too fast, it looked as if they had rushed over and fallen at Lin Wen’s feet.

The next second.

Lin Wen turned around and crashed into the crowd. He raised his hand and hammered down. The chief and deputy chief of the Department of Public Security in Changshan County, the chief and deputy chief of the Special Investigations Bureau, the chief of the Department of Agriculture, and the chief of the Water Conservancy Bureau were lying on the ground. Although they were still alive, they were no different from corpses.

eai

Then, there was the small group of lackeys. Lin Wen didn’t show any mercy at all. He knocked all of them down like they were ground rats.

In less than ten seconds, Lin Wen’s feet were covered in people.

The rebels were completely wiped out.

There was complete silence.

There should be a sound of “ACE” here.

Lin Wen thought. He was in high spirits now. His soul was restless, and he was not satisfied. His eyes scanned the room, searching for any potential rebels. The hammer in his hand stirred.

No one dared to meet his gaze.

Lin Wen forcefully suppressed the urge to knock everyone in the room. He thought that he had been too violent just now and needed to appease them.

He raised the hammer and smiled gently. “As a county governor, it’s reasonable for me to bring a hammer to protect myself, right?”

A wrench fell out of his pocket.

“Uh, I brought the wrench just in case the car breaks down on the road. It makes sense, doesn’t it?”

No one dared to speak.

The venue was extremely quiet. Everyone had their heads lowered and were motionless like clay statues.

Lin Wen couldn’t be bothered to continue the awkward conversation. He walked down a few steps and picked up the document from the ground. Without even looking at it, he tore it into pieces and threw it away.

The fragments drifted away with the wind, as if they were the confetti during a closing ceremony.

It was commonly known as…

The end and the celebrating confetti.
