Chapter 391 I don’t care about the flood after I die!
"Captain Yu, you are the captain of the Demon Suppression Division, how can you say such things? Haven't you heard of the old saying? 'It is better to kill three thousand people by mistake than to let one go'!"

Wei Yuan snorted in dissatisfaction and said, "Besides, do you know who this fox demon wants to harm? It's the family of this year's third place winner. If you don't want to deal with this demon, aren't you afraid that the third place winner will find out about this and hold you accountable?"

"Burden me? It's none of my business!"

Yu Die sneered. How could she not understand the meaning of Wei Yuan's words? She said, "I act according to my conscience and will not change because of the person!"

Wei Yuan's words seemed to be a threat to her, but in fact they were reminding her that she could use this incident to curry favor with Wang Ruhai - to be more precise, to see if she could curry favor with the Prime Minister's Mansion behind Wang Ruhai.

Their family may not be as powerful as the Prime Minister's Mansion, but it will not make her bow down in front of the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, nor will it make her lose her conscience and do things like killing innocent people to gain credit.

Although Hu Jiusan was a fox demon and not a citizen of Daxia, and had never paid taxes to Daxia, he at least abided by the law and had never harmed the people of Daxia.

She has to treat Hu Jiusan and monsters like Hu Jiusan with a normal attitude!
Once she kills innocent people to gain credit, she will kill all the monsters in Daxia, regardless of whether they have done bad things or not. She doesn't know whether she will get reward from the Demon Suppression Bureau, but she knows clearly that doing so will cause endless disasters.

"Good, good, good... Yu Baihu, you do have a proud character!"

Wei Yuan's face turned cold, and he said sarcastically that he was kind enough to let Yu Die participate in currying favor with Wang Ruhai, but he never thought that she would say such a thing. He said:
"Since you, Captain Yu, act according to your conscience, I have to treat people differently. This monster actually dared to follow Wang Tanhua's family. He must have bad intentions and wanted to harm Wang Tanhua's family. Tang Gongfeng and I worked together to kill this monster. Captain Yu is too proud to take the credit, so please don't stop me!"

He would like Yu Die to participate in this matter, not only because he wanted to do Yu Die a favor and give her a chance to curry favor with Wang Ruhai, but also because of Yu Die's identity.

Once Yu Die characterizes Hu Jiusan's actions, even if some people still question whether Hu Jiusan followed the Wang family to harm them or to protect them, no one would dare to stand up and accuse them of killing innocent people and taking credit for their actions.

Even though I know they are killing innocent people to gain credit...

Who let Yu Die, on behalf of the Demon Suppression Division, make the final decision on this matter!
Without Yu Die's participation, once this matter was spread, it would be easy for people to see that he was killing innocent people to take credit, and it is very likely that someone would stand up and accuse him.

but.

Even if someone blamed him, it didn't matter. He didn't expect to get reward from the court for doing such a thing. He just wanted to curry favor with Wang Ruhai. Even though Wang Ruhai could see that they were killing innocent people to gain credit, he believed that Wang Ruhai would definitely accept them.

Sometimes the attitude towards doing things is countless times more useful than doing things correctly!
"County Magistrate Wei, look at what you are saying. You are the county magistrate of Qingyang County. You have the power of life and death over the people in your territory, let alone a mere monster. If you want to kill a monster, no matter if the monster has done anything bad or not, I have no reason to stop you. I can only say that this monster is destined to suffer this disaster!"

Yu Die did not hide the disgust on her face. She knew that an official like Wei Yuan, who would do anything to achieve his goal, might be unfavorable to her because of her attitude, but she was not afraid and sneered:
“But I still have to remind Magistrate Wei that you are the magistrate of Qingyang County, and this fox demon was born in the Jiu Tou Mountain Fox Clan, a clan within your Qingyang County.

If you kill this monster before you have 100% evidence, even if you can really gain the appreciation of Wang Tanhua, I think you will not be able to be promoted and leave Qingyang County for a while, and you will face the revenge of the Jiu Tou Mountain Fox Clan.

Be careful or you may end up losing more than you gain! "

"Thank you for the reminder, Yu Baihu!"

Wei Yuan glanced at Yu Die calmly, and seeing the disgust on her face, a hint of sarcasm flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he said:
"But for the sake of the people of Qingyang County, even if I die, what's there to fear?"

When he was young, he was more righteous than Yu Die. He looked down on those who stole things and hated officials who deceived their superiors and did things based on personal connections.

But after so many years, after suffering blows again and again, and seeing with his own eyes one thief after another getting promoted and given salary increases, he finally understood clearly what a cruel thing it was.

What’s the use of being good to the people in the country?
Without the appreciation of your superior, even if you are a high-ranking official, you will not have the opportunity to be promoted or get a salary increase.

No matter the emperor or the high officials in the capital, they would not pay attention to him, a mere county magistrate. His good or bad deeds were mostly known directly to the emperor through the mouths of his superiors. Of course.

Most likely, it is not worthy of being shown to the Emperor, let alone high-ranking officials in the capital.

Only when he reaches a certain level will high-ranking officials in the capital or the emperor take a look at him.

Yu Die smiled but said nothing, her eyes full of sarcasm.

Even though Wei Yuan's words sounded nice, how could she not guess what he was thinking? After his death, why would she care about the flood?
Seeing that there was no way to get Yu Die on board, Wei Yuan didn't waste any more words with Yu Die. He nodded to Tang Anzhi beside him and ignored the pleading look of Hu Jiushisan, who was lying on the ground like a puddle of mud.

If he hadn't been seriously injured, given Hu Jiushisan's current condition, he might have knelt down and begged for mercy.

just.

What’s the point of kneeling down and begging for mercy?

"You fox demon, it is your lifelong honor to be able to connect me with Wang Tanhua, why would you be unwilling?"

Wei Yuan said secretly.

"Pfft!"

Tang Anzhi blasted out a ball of magic power, and when it was about to kill Hu Jiusan, a streak of light flashed and the next moment, the ball of magic power was destroyed. At some point, a flying sword appeared in front of Hu Jiusan.

Wei Yuan's expression changed slightly, and he said in a bad tone: "Captain Yu, didn't you just say that you would not stop me from dealing with this monster?"

"not me!"

Yu Die denied it.

"Heh, besides you, who else here would save this monster..."

Wei Yuan sneered, but before he could finish his words, he heard Tang Anzhi beside him say solemnly, "County Magistrate Wei, it wasn't Captain Yu who did it!"

"Isn't it Yu Baihu?"

Wei Yuan's face changed drastically. He didn't believe Yu Die's words, but he believed Tang Anzhi's words on the same boat. He asked in panic, "Who is that?"

Tang Anzhi said: "County Magistrate Wei, have you forgotten what you just said?"

"What I just said..."

Wei Yuan was stunned at first, then he reacted and said, "Sure enough, I was right, there is a very vicious person lying in ambush nearby!"
