Chapter 1271 – Powerlessness of Official
– Mr. Tang is the god of wealth, and also the representative of the Evil Monarch on the mainland! As long as the government of the Evil Monarch exists and he dominates this world, the status of Lord Tang will be indestructible – no one can shake him! Even the rulers of all states, when they see Mr. Tang, behave with extreme caution, “Te Huai Li added bitterly,” It is for this reason that I want to devote myself to serving for Mr. Tang!
– Can this be considered a reason? Tang Yuan was filled with suppressed anger. “We get along well with the young master Jun to this day. But this is our friendship, what does it have to do with other people? And so what if he now has the status of the Evil Monarch? Even when the three sacred lands and the entire continent despised and hated him, I always remained on his side. And I don’t care about his ability or position, I respect Jun Mose as a person! Even if Mose is no longer the Evil Monarch and turns into a beggar or cripple, he will still be my brother! It never changes! And this has nothing to do with your bureaucratic career! Seriously, I am Tang Yuan, a mere speculator, and wherever I am – in Tangxiang or anywhere else on the mainland – I have never belonged to any faction. Especially crowded with “righteous officials”! People like you cannot use the Evil Monarch’s reputation as an emblem of courage for their “high goals”! This is not a young master’s ban, but my personal ban of Tang Yuan! – Tang Yuan said seriously.
Te Huai Li was not at all offended and said heavily:
– Mr. Tang, you behave like this because you are at the top of this world, but a huge number of people live in the bustle of the world. I spent half of my life in the army, the families of many of my dead brothers were subjected to constant harassment, but they even had nowhere to complain. Therefore, I resolutely abandoned my military career and returned to Tianxiang with only one thought – to do at least something for the families of my fallen brothers!
Tang Yuan glanced at him sideways and said sarcastically:
– Interesting, however, your current actions are saturated with greed and the desire for profit, since you came to ask for my service. Do you still remember your initial intentions?!

– Why don’t I remember! I never forgot about it!”Te Huai Li said excitedly,” Upon returning to Tianxiang Murong, Feng Yu personally helped me with my career advancement. At first I was an archivist, then a court censor, an adviser to the Emperor, and finally, after much trouble, I became the head of an entire district. However, after Mr. Murong’s resignation, I again fell three steps and became head of the crime control department. Maybe my position was relatively low, and my official powers were small, but this position turned out to be exactly what I always dreamed of! The duty of the crime control department is to supervise ordinary people. This department belongs to the Ministry of Punishments, we can say that real power is concentrated there. However, what I appreciated the most was that ordinary citizens could contact me with their complaints about oppression and so on! And among them were many descendants of fallen soldiers and generals, as well as their widows! – Te Huai Li smiled sadly and said:
– Since childhood, Mr. Tang grew up in wealth and luxury and, naturally, does not know the bitter lives of the widows of slain soldiers! They have to survive even in poverty! Surviving is very easy to say, but how many hardships are actually hidden behind these letters?! Especially those families that had adorable daughters… Their beauty became the source of the destruction of their families! Isn’t it sad that the beauty of children ultimately led to the collapse of an entire family? And such tragedies are actually endless!
The more Te Huai Li spoke, the more agitated he became. Then he suddenly straightened up sharply, as if he had regained his former courage that had once accompanied him on the battlefield.
Tang Yuan listened quietly and did not interrupt.
– Since I took up a position in the crime control department, I began to attach great importance to it! But after I actually sat down at this place, I realized that not everything is so simple in fact. At first, I naively thought that while I was in this position, I could give the families of my deceased comrades protection and safety! But who would have known that no one cares about my desires! In other words, I could help these families if other people would let me. And if they would not have allowed me to do this, then, alas and ah, nothing can be done! Those who allowed themselves such lawlessness were young masters of influential families! And I was simply unable to conduct any investigation against them! Several times I brought shame on my head by ruining their brilliant reputations, but this led to a bad result! The worst thing is that these families did not take revenge on me, but took revenge on those countless victims who turned to me for help! And I could only look at everything from the side! – Te Huai Li’s voice filled with bitterness:
– Many times offended and oppressed people found me so that I, the so-called incorruptible official, helped them. I did take the initiative, but in the end, the suffering of these people only increased! I sent letters to the Emperor, the head of the ministry of punishments, but received neither reply nor greetings from them. Without the patronage of the Imperial Court, I, Te Huai Li – a petty boss and son of a grain merchant, in fact had no power and authority! In the eyes of the capital’s officials from influential families, I, Te Huai Li, with my bustle, was no better than a circus clown! It got to the point that people began to oppress the families of the fallen soldiers just to see my troubles and have fun! They picked up wine glasses and enjoyed their favorite movie! – Te Huai Li paused and added sadly:
– I didn’t kill anyone, but I became guilty! I did not calculate my strength, brought shame on my head and sank down to general fun! I became a toy for my bosses and the whole empire…
– But… what are the families of my brothers to blame?! My comrades guarded the border all year round, shed blood in wars for the sake of our state, and after their unfortunate death, their families received financial aid in the amount of fifty-two silver coins! And after that, the abandoned widows and orphans were harassed by some idiots, for whose welfare my comrades once gave their lives! And they would only laugh! Shame! There is no point in holding back the resentment and bowing your head! They want to see you run frantically across all levels, and then find yourself in a complete dead end and surrender! They will be satisfied only when these people give them their daughters to serve, or rather to be torn apart! And those who do not want to accept such a fate are incapable of changing anything, they only face helplessness and despair and, in the end, silently disappear from this world! Honest officials? When were there honest officials in this world?! Is there not a single drop of humanity among the Tianxiang elite? Don’t they know anything about gratitude? – Te Huaili’s voice was already hoarse, and he himself was simply torn with anger!
Tang Yuan was stunned.
He didn’t expect his random question to lead to such harsh things.
– Mr. Tang, you used to be a frequent visitor to brothels and led a rather wild life! – Te Huai Li sighed heavily and sadly continued: – But do you know how many of these prostitutes, which more than one thousand men “rode” on, are descendants of the fallen heroes of Tianxiang?! How many influential bastards, fed up with young flesh, have resold beauties in brothels?! Most of these girls once belonged to good families, to families of fallen heroes, and belonged to a society of high moral character! And we carefully guarded them! Te Huayli was breathing hard and looking wildly at Tang Yuan. Then he suddenly shouted:
– Tang Yuan, the god of wealth in all heaven, you do not care about worldly affairs, but do you know how in the afterlife, the souls of the fallen heroes are quietly crying?! I know! Every fucking night, in my dreams, I dream of my comrades in arms and ask me to take care of their families! But I can not! I can’t do anything, bitch! I’m so guilty! So guilty…
Tang Yuan sighed sadly, stood up and said:
– Mr. Te, I apologize for my disparaging words, please, sit down and tell everything calmly.
Hearing this whole story, Jun Mose darkened.
The things that Te Huai Li spoke of undoubtedly really took place.
Some high-ranking officials Tianxiang enjoyed these dirty deeds.
Throughout the current empire of Tianxiang, for tens and even hundreds of years, chaos has occurred in the relationship between the elders and the younger, if you pull a hair and the whole body will come in motion! Even if a small clan is affected and no follow-up action is taken, it will quickly find a patron who will quietly smooth out all its problems!
If such bastards are not eradicated, they will find a bunch of opportunities for licking their superiors, use all means to go deep inside the entire network and to form an even more massive criminal system in it!
Justice has long arms, but somehow it does not show them! And where to look for just retribution?!
If this continues, then this problem will become increasingly difficult to solve, the ties between the elite and the rich will become denser, and their actions will become even more unbridled… The world will sink into lawlessness, and the life of ordinary people will become even harder! In the end, this will lead to the fact that hundreds of families will not be able to continue such a life, and when this contradiction reaches its limit, the country will face the so-called riot… Te Huai Li sat down, his condition was extremely agitated, he no longer worried about him the original request with which he came to Tang Yuan, because all the cards were revealed. His eyes red with anger, he said:
