Chapter 777: Righteous and Just! 【Additional Chapter for Ye Musang, the Alliance Leader】
"Therefore, after helping you seek justice and reclaiming your property, we can only leave the Murong Clan to you. Then, we will provide as much protection as possible, but whether you can survive in the future still depends on your luck. After all, you understand the kind of world we live in. We are all martial arts families, no need for me to elaborate, right?"
Fang Che spoke these words with utmost seriousness.
Yin Guotang, standing beside him, sighed.
The Murong Clan was indeed facing such a situation.
Only by doing this could they preserve the lives of these people and allow the children to grow up safely.
However, the Warden couldn't bear the reputation of confiscating the family's property.
Fang Che remained calm, and of course, he had other options. For example: sealing the property, temporarily sending the Murong Clan's children to the Nirvana Martial Academy for their growth, while the adults worked, and then when the children grew up and gained the ability to protect themselves, the property would be returned to them...
This was also a feasible option.
But why?
If the Murong Clan was truly a meritorious family with a glorious history, then doing so would be acceptable, and Fang Che could also agree. Moreover, he would actively promote it.
But after the Murong Clan committed such a heinous act... Fang Che absolutely refused!
If they wanted to live, they could, but they had to pay the price!
Make a financial contribution to the Nirvana Martial Academy. This was Fang Che's bottom line!
Not only did he propose this solution, but he also rejected it himself because the Warden couldn't bear the reputation of coveting the family's property!
Therefore, the Murong Clan must take the initiative to donate.
Now, it's up to them whether they are willing to part with their wealth.
If they aren't willing, Fang Che won't intervene to protect them. You can go out and die with your wealth, and if you die, I will avenge you and capture the murderer. In the end, the Murong Clan's wealth will still go to the Nirvana Martial Academy.
The process may differ, but the outcome will be the same.
The people will live, but the money will be gone.
The people will die, and the money will also be gone.
The members of the Murong Clan fell silent, deep in thought.
Everyone came from prominent families, and although they lacked martial power, they were well aware of the intricacies involved.
The most crucial point was... Fang Che wasn't claiming the property for himself but returning it to the public.
This left no room for criticism.
"Elder Fang..."
The elder trembled and said, "We don't need the Warden to confiscate our property. We are willing to donate all our wealth. As long as you help us seek justice, we are willing to donate all our assets to the Nirvana Martial Academy. Furthermore, we are willing to work at the Martial Academy and do whatever we can to contribute."
Fang Che shook his head and said, "It's not that you're setting conditions. We will seek justice for you, and we will also punish the offending members of the side branches. As for your property, it will be returned to you intact. What happens afterward, whether you choose to donate or not, is up to you."
"This matter has nothing to do with us Wardens. So we are not accepting your conditions, do you understand?"
"We understand."
"Of course, if you choose to donate, our Southeast Headquarters has the relevant departments to handle it, and we also have corresponding honors to recognize your contribution."
Fang Che, acting impartially, said, "Since that's the case, we will follow the rules and regulations. The Battle Hall and the Law Enforcement Hall will each send personnel, and the Patrol Hall will be responsible for enforcing the lockdown. Those who have caused chaos in the Murong Clan will face the Warden's punishment!"
"Yes!"
The three behind him responded in unison.
Then they immediately arranged for the necessary personnel.
Fang Che no longer paid attention to the Murong Clan and left with his robe fluttering, disappearing into the starry night.
After they left...
The members of the Murong Clan began discussing among themselves.
"Do we really have to donate everything?"
"Not leaving a single penny?"
"Isn't this... too harsh?"
But the elder sternly stopped their discussion and said, "If we don't donate, can we protect ourselves? With just us, not to mention a mountain of gold, even a single ingot of gold could bring us deadly disaster!"
"How can we protect the children's growth? If the children don't grow up, how can we restore the Murong Clan's glory?"
"The Murong Clan has a glorious history, and if the children grow up and become successful, contributing to the continent, they can naturally rebuild the Murong Clan! What's there to hesitate about exchanging a little wealth for peace?"
These people had no martial power.
They were unaware of the Murong Clan's illegal and unruly actions over the years, the actions that harmed the heavens and the earth.
They only believed that their Murong Clan was a glorious and righteous heroic family.
Therefore, these people's thoughts were relatively pure.
"Also, you must understand that if we don't donate, we won't survive. If we are killed, and the Warden captures the murderer, won't the property still end up in the Nirvana Martial Academy? Why not use this money to buy peace?"
"Keep some property, family martial arts, and some cultivation resources, and donate the rest!"
The members of the Murong Clan quickly came to a decision.
After realizing the cruel nature of the world and facing the fear of life and death, this decision was not difficult to make.
Donate!
Under Fang Che's strict crackdown, the three major departments took action simultaneously, and not a single member of the Murong Clan's side branches escaped. They were all arrested and brought to justice.
After a brief interrogation, they didn't even bother to take them back.
Officer Fang immediately passed the sentence: "Execute them on the spot as a warning to others!"
With a single command, hundreds of heads fell to the ground.
Then, Officer Fang mobilized the Finance Office and began to register, document, categorize, and organize all the properties of the Murong family.
He also consolidated and liquidated the Murong family's assets.
Everything that could be sold was sold.
Assets that could generate continuous profits were temporarily kept.
Then, under the grateful eyes of the weak, the elderly, and the women and children of the Murong family, he, as the representative of the Warden, handed over the complete assets of the Murong family.
Not a single copper coin was taken.
He was truly selfless, with high moral integrity.
Then, Officer Fang led his men and withdrew.
"I hope the Murong family can live well, strive forward, and regain their past glory."
After receiving the wealth, the weak, the elderly, and the women and children of the Murong family also took a deep breath, feeling a chill.
Trillions of assets!
Just this number alone was enough to scare anyone senseless: How could they possibly protect it? So, the Murong family went back to the Southeast Headquarters to seek an audience with Commandant Zhao Shanhe, but he was busy, so Commandant An Ruoxing received them. They explained their intention to donate their assets.
After much persuasion, Commandant An Ruoxing was unable to change their minds, and the Murong family's desire to donate was unwavering.
Thus, Commandant An Ruoxing, on behalf of the Southeast Headquarters, the Nirvana Martial Academy, and the Guardian Continent, expressed gratitude to the Murong family.
They were awarded a banner and medal.
The Murong family's selflessness, benevolence, and righteousness were praised.
Additionally, the Murong family name was preserved: once the younger generation grew up, the family could be rebuilt.
The members of the Murong family were also given preferential treatment: they were all allowed to enter the Nirvana Martial Academy to continue contributing to the Guardian Continent and all of humanity.
The children of the Murong family would also receive an education at the Nirvana Martial Academy.
The original residence of the Murong family was taken over by the Southeast Headquarters and rebuilt for other purposes.
Then, the Finance Office, which had just sealed all the properties, returned them to the Finance Office, covering them with red cloth as donations.
A message was sent throughout the Southeast, praising the Murong family. Everyone was called upon to learn from their example.
Everyone praised the Murong family's benevolence and righteousness, and they all said that children from such a family would surely not go astray and would regain their former glory in no time.
After this operation, Fang Che quickly streamlined the three major departments and established his authority.
He also brought in several million assets for the Nirvana Martial Academy.
Then, he issued another order: "Launch a thorough investigation and crackdown in Donghu Continent."
The Patrol Hall took the lead, with the main force from the Battle Hall and the Law Enforcement Hall following with punishments.
The Finance Office followed up with rewards and punishments.
This was a comprehensive service.
They began to truly sweep through all families and businesses in Donghu Continent. Every day, the three Halls rewarded and punished.
Those who were incompetent or negligent were directly dismissed or retired.
Those who performed well received bonuses, benefits, and resources.
With a roar, everyone's enthusiasm soared, and they charged out with vigor.
In Commandant Zhao Shanhe's words, it was like releasing a group of people with a simplified and direct approach.
The Finance Commandant's face lit up with a smile.
Every day, a huge amount of assets were deposited, and the Finance Commandant's heart felt at ease, and he gained weight, eating several more bowls of food at each meal, becoming even more rotund.
He looked more like the God of Wealth.
Such a thing was unimaginable before Fang Che's appointment.
Because no one had such authority.
Even Zhao Shanhe didn't have it, and if he had done this, he would have faced a backlash.
But now, Fang Che is the 'Chief Patrol Captain of the Guardian Continent', and his authority is more than sufficient.
Moreover, who doesn't know what Fang Tu does? To be honest, he's just rectifying Donghu Continent and isn't killing many people... Instead, everyone feels... Fang Tu has become much more benevolent.
This is the difference when different people do the same job.
When Zhao Shanhe did it, it was directly unfeasible.
But when Fang Che does it, it's all green lights and praises! The Southeast Law Enforcement Hall, War Affairs Hall, and Patrol Hall's prestige instantly skyrocketed!
The Warden's reputation also became dazzlingly glorious.
Strictly following the new policies, the standards were rigorous.
The common people rejoiced.
Finally, they had the qualification to strive and have a chance at success.
Fang Che gathered all the high-level forces of the Battle Hall.
"Develop all informants, extend all tentacles; search for the One Righteous Sect in the Southeast with all our might. Focus on the Night Demon Sect! No matter what, we must find the clues!"
Fang Che issued a stern order.
The experts of the Battle Hall became stern.
They set out.
The temporary target was inside and outside Donghu Continent.
Fang Che's second order was: "The Palace Guardian of the Seventeen Continents in the Southeast, together with the local aristocratic families, start exterminating the demonic disciples of the One Righteous Sect! The deadline is half a year."
Half a year later, the three Halls of the Southeast will begin to inspect and reward or punish accordingly.
Within the jurisdiction, if there are aristocratic families that do not obey the orders or do not cooperate, immediately report to Officer Fang!
Officer Fang will carefully consider and find time to chat with that family.
