In the eyes of those who were observant, 24 hours was so long.
They couldn't wait to fast-forward to 12 hours later. When the news of Ye Ning's death reached them, they would definitely start celebrating.
It was imaginable.
Once he died, it would definitely be a major event that shook the capital.
There should be many scholars crying, right?
The commoners would probably collapse, right?
Very good.
Whether it was crying or breaking down, these were all things they wanted to see.
They wanted to let the world see with their own eyes the outcome of not knowing how to appreciate favors.
The Great Zhou was destined to perish.
Ye Ning wanting to save Tian Qing was just a fool's dream!
Soon.
This moment was about to arrive.
He only needed to wait.
But their wait was worthless to Ye Ning.
He went to the Overwatch Council to work again.
That familiar feeling came back.
In his previous life, he had enjoyed 996 blessings. In this life, he had also become a worker.
He just didn't understand. He was clearly the boss of the Overwatch Council, so why did he have to go through so much trouble?
"It's all this broken mirror's fault!"
Ye Ning gritted his teeth.
Originally, the Truth Mirror could work alone.
Placing it in the Overwatch Council, when needed, could naturally interrogate people's hearts.
However, the mirror insisted on blaming it on Ye Ning.
It had been thousands of years since it left the previous supervisor, and it was extremely thirsty. The Righteousness Qi on Ye Ning's body had a huge attraction to it.
It wouldn't leave until it had absorbed enough.
Speaking of this, Ye Ning actually did not object.
If you can suck the Righteousness Qi dry for me, I'll thank your ancestors.
However, the problem was that the more this broken mirror absorbed, the more Righteousness Qi it recovered.
God knew what possessed Ye Ning. The righteous energy that was wandering between heaven and earth surged into his body like crazy.
He felt that he was getting stronger and stronger.
It was so strong that it made him feel uneasy.
Could it be that I'm invincible in this world and I'm still alive?
A terrifying thought appeared in his mind.
Then, he quickly shook his head.
This was impossible!
He came to the Overwatch Council.
Like a numb tool, he summoned the Truth Mirror.
Cai Xianggao told him that this was the last time.
The Overwatch Council was almost done recruiting.
In the short term, the capital would not be recruiting.
If they recruited again in the future, it would definitely be the Overwatch Council expanding its branch, but that was very far away.
Everyone knew that without the protection of the capital's array, the Overwatch Council's revival would not have progressed so smoothly.
"Brother Ye, this last batch of people is our gift to you!”
Cai Xianggao smiled mysteriously.
"A gift?"
Ye Ning felt uneasy.
He gradually realized that although Cai Xianggao didn't have much strength, he often thought of some bad ideas.
As expected, Cai Xianggao chuckled and said.
"The people recruited this time are not people who signed up on their own. They were recruited by us.”
"Recruit?"
"That's right. We discussed it a few days ago and thought about one thing.”
"What is it?"
" All the people exiled to the Overwatch Council are the backbone of the court. Whether it's integrity or ability, they all have outstanding qualities. If that's the case, then the friends of these people in the past must also be people of noble character and outstanding ability. As the saying goes, dragons don't live with snakes. A righteous person will not make friends with evil villains.”
"So?"
" Therefore, in the name of the Overwatch Council, we issued a call to arms to all the places. We gathered all the loyal people we know who are wandering around and gave them official positions.”
"Why didn't I know about this?”
"We want to give Milord a surprise!”
Cai Xianggao rubbed his hands, waiting for praise.
Ye Ning was speechless.
Surprise?
Explain to me, what do you mean by a fucking surprise?
I really have to thank you!
Without a doubt, his sense of security increased by 1.
Ye Ning's face darkened as he walked forward to see the last group of people.
As expected, he could see the difference.
The last group of people who were recruited had a very special temperament.
How should he put it?
These people all had different appearances. There were old and young, and most of them looked very down and out.
Some were poor scholars, some were unkempt, and some had just come out of prison and were still wearing prison clothes…
But there was light in their eyes.
This kind of light was different from those who simply admired the Overwatch Council and wanted to join with their passion.
This was the light that could persist in one's dreams even after going through a storm.
They had suffered enough. Perhaps they had once been in despair, but now the Overwatch Council's transfer order had reignited their blood.
Ye Ning was familiar with this.
Weren't Wei Wentong and the others like this back then?
They looked at Ye Ning with fanatical eyes.
In their eyes, Ye Ning was the only possibility to realize their dreams.
This kind of burning gaze was the last thing Ye Ning wanted to see.
Because he was afraid of letting down these people who were excited because of him.
"Go ahead."
Ye Ning waved his hand and the Truth Mirror flew out.
Everyone faced it calmly.
A moment later, the Truth Questioning Mirror returned.
None of the people present were eliminated.
" Congratulations, sir. With these people joining, the various departments of the Overwatch Council will be in order!”
Cai Xianggao cupped his hands and said.
"From today onwards, the Overwatch Council can live up to its reputation of being full of talents!”
……
The last group of people to come would be the backbone of the Overwatch Council.
They had experienced the test of character and had rich experience in governing. This was very valuable.
And those who came earlier clearly still needed to be honed.
There were about three thousand people in the Overwatch Council headquarters in the capital.
In the huge Overwatch Council, there was finally a scene of people coming and going.
It was no longer the empty and shabby scene of a few big cats and small cats.
However, the backbones who had come from afar did not immediately start working.
They had one day to get used to the situation, settle down their families, and familiarize themselves with the rules and regulations of the Overwatch Council.
Zhang Chengzong had already changed into the black official uniform of the Overwatch Council. He walked in the courtyard paved with green stone slabs, breathing in the air that was not fresh, but his heart was unprecedentedly happy.
Although it was his first time here, he felt like he had returned home.
The people here, the work here, and the environment here all made him feel right.
This is the place I've been dreaming of.
If darkness covered the capital, then the sky of the Overwatch Council would also be filled with light.
There were two people beside him, one on his left and one on his right.
These were his two new friends and colleagues who would be working together soon.
The person on the left looked a little old. His white hair reached his waist and was very messy. He did not know how long it had been since he had taken care of it.
There were clear marks on his wrists, ankles, and neck. These were the marks of shackles.
In the past, he was a prisoner.
" I've sat in prison for eleven years. I thought I would spend the rest of my life like this. I didn't expect to see the light again one day. I even saw the Overwatch Council reappear with my own eyes. All of this is like a dream.”
he muttered.
"This is what it means to be happy after suffering. Brother Bai, the pain you suffered in the past has already passed. You still have to look forward in the future.”
Zhang Chengzong smiled and comforted her.
This person's name was Bai Hengdao. He looked old, but in reality, he was only ten years older than Zhang Chengzong.
However, he had spent too much time in prison and had wasted too much of his mind, making him look extremely old.
This person's experience was similar to Zhang Chengzong's. They had both offended the local aristocratic families because they enforced the law impartially. Later, they were framed and thrown into prison.
"Look at this monument."
the man on the right said.
His face was weathered and he only had one left arm. His right hand was empty and his sleeve hung down.
He was disabled, but his back was still as straight as a javelin. Along the way, he did not speak much and was rarely moved. However, at this moment, he stopped and looked at the stone tablet in front of him as if he had found a treasure.
The stone tablet was obviously new.
There were a few lines of words written on it.
"Your salary, your salary, the people's fat."
"The people are easy to abuse, but the heavens are hard to bully!"
Bai Hengdao and Zhang Chengzong were also stunned when they saw this.
An earth-shattering shock surged into their hearts, causing every cell in their bodies to jump for joy and go crazy.
"Your salary, your salary, the people's fat."
"The people are easy to abuse, but the heavens are hard to bully!"
They could not help but mutter.
The more she read, the more tears welled up in her eyes.
The pent-up anger in her heart seemed to be about to be vented with her tears.
Because they had experienced enough.
They were used to seeing corrupt officials and poor people. Combined with their own suffering, when they saw these two lines of words, the shock was difficult for others to understand.
These two short lines of words expressed their persistence over the years.
"As an official, you should use these two lines as a commandment. Remember that the people are easy to abuse, but the heavens are hard to bully!”
Bai Hengdao muttered.
"Who wrote this?"
Zhang Chengzong took a deep breath and asked.
"It was written by the superintendent."
The one-armed man pointed at a line of small words on the lower right corner of the stone tablet.
" Look, it's written very clearly here. This is what the superintendent said when he first came to the Overwatch Council and saw the foul atmosphere and the corpses everywhere. These 16 words resonated with Taizu's remnant thoughts. Spring came to a withered tree, and it also awakened everyone's fighting spirit.”
Obviously, Ye Ning wouldn't be so free as to erect a monument for himself.
This was Cai Xianggao's masterpiece.
He felt that Ye Ning's deeds needed to be publicized.
At the very least, the people of the Overwatch Council had to know and be proud of it.
"There's another tablet here."
Zhang Chengzong made another discovery.
"It's a poem,'Charcoal Selling Old Man' written by the superintendent.”
"There's another poem here, but it's only half complete. There will be a time when the wind blows and the waves break, and the clouds sail straight across the sea…Eh? Look at this signature, does the superintendent have the elegant title of Ye Banshou?”
"There's also a quote from the superintendent…"
The few of them seemed to have entered the Grand View Garden.
It was simply an eye-opener.
These words were either personally spoken by the superintendent or personally written by him. Each of them could be passed down through the ages and could make people think.
It was already very rare for an ordinary person to say one sentence in their lifetime.
But what about Ye Ning?
It was like taking out so many cabbages at once.
"The people of the capital all say that the supervisor is the reincarnation of an ancient sage.”
"Even if he isn't the reincarnation of a Sage, his talent and conduct can be considered the best in this generation.”
"It's a pity that the Confucian Way has been cut off. Otherwise, the superintendent would have become a great Confucian by now. I wouldn't be surprised if he became a Half-Saint, Quasi-Saint, or even a Saint in the future.”
Let's put it this way.
In their eyes, Ye Ning's already lofty image suddenly rose countless times.
If there was a status panel, they would definitely be able to see that Ye Ning's personal worship was already full.
"To be able to join the Overwatch Council is perhaps the greatest fortune of my life!”
"If there's anyone who can save Great Zhou, I think it's only the superintendent!”
"I'm willing to die for the superintendent!"
More and more people saw the stone tablet.
Then, they all became Ye Ning's diehard fans.
The way they looked at Ye Ning made Ye Ning feel uncomfortable.
He felt that he shouldn't be walking in the human world.
Instead, it should be worshipped in the temple.
Ye Ning couldn't stand it.
He slipped away.
Since he was done with his matters, he might as well go back.
Speaking of which, there seemed to be a demon at home.
It was rare for him to remember that there was such a thing.
Ye Ning and Little Mute entered the courtyard.
However, he did not know that there were many pairs of eyes staring at him from the dark.
"Ye Ning is back!"
The news reached the Mighty Marquis Manor.
"It's almost 12 hours. Let's see how he dies this time!”
Marquis Weiwu was trembling with excitement.
He only felt that he was getting closer and closer to the Immortal Ascension Pill.
Everyone present was also very excited.
The only thing missing was the founding duke.
Because he didn't come at all.
The seat was empty.
"Why didn't the founding duke come today?”
Some people were worried.
"I won't!" Marquis Weiwu sneered and said,"He's just a whore who wants to build a memorial archway. It's just hard for him to accept it…but I know him. He doesn't have the guts to betray us.”
"Just you wait."
"Once the 12 hours are up, Ye Ning will die!”
