Chapter 246 Removal
"Oh, it's all your elders' bad ideas. What's the name of your gambling house? How many gambling houses have you opened?" Qiqi asked.
"Baiyun Casino is the name of our sect. We have opened casinos in many prefectures." said the Great Elder.
"Your gambling house is making so much money, yet you robbed the gold of the Great Zhou. Don't you know that robbing the gold of the Great Zhou is a capital crime? You are so brave that you even injured the guards who were transporting the gold. You are so audacious. I have recorded your confessions. This is the recording stone. I will make your crimes public, and you will be expelled from the martial arts world." Qiqi said hatefully.
"Princess Consort, Prince, we were wrong, please forgive us. We will listen to you from now on. We are your sect. We are willing to follow you." The sect leader prayed.
"Hmph, we can't afford it. If you rob other people's sects, you will be ruined." Qiqi said.
Zhou Jingze summoned the secret guards and ordered them to arrest all the disciples of the Baiyun Sect. Qiqi was afraid that the guards would not be able to defeat the elders, so he gave them some drugs made from a mixture of sleeping pills and muscle softening powder, sprinkled some in each room, and then knocked them out.
To avoid waking them up and making it difficult to catch them. He locked them up together and made them listen to the recording, letting them know the despicable behavior of their sect leader. Then he made the sound of the recording stone public. The Baiyun Sect would cease to exist.
Qiqi looked at the clan leader's room, believing it might also have a secret room. She tucked everything into the space. Finally, she spotted a small lion statue, unmoved. She reached over and tried to bend it, but it didn't budge. She twisted it. Suddenly, a stone slab in front of her feet shifted, revealing a hole. Qiqi looked down and saw stairs leading down. Zhou Jingze pulled her down and went down first, fearing danger. He also had secret guards guard the entrance.
Qiqi and the others walked along the corridor. Inside, there were eternally burning lamps on the walls, illuminating the entire corridor. The corridor widened as they went further in, until they reached a space the size of two rooms, filled with numerous shelves.
There were many golden Buddha statues and animal figures, as well as numerous gold and silver jewelry and gold bars. Qiqi was dazzled by the sight. There were also numerous elixirs, all of them level four or higher. These alone were worth tens of millions of gold.
How did the Baiyun Sect make its fortune? Where did they rob from? How many wealthy families did they rob?
Qiqi didn't hesitate and collected everything into his space. After he and Zhou Jingze went up, he had the guards escort the Great Elder away. Qiqi took out a truth pill and gave it to Zhou Jingze, asking him to give it to the Sect Master. The Sect Master tried to vomit it out, but the truth pill melted in his mouth, and nothing came out.
They wanted to know where the things in the secret room came from, whether they had been robbed or someone's ancestral grave had been dug up.
Qiqi asked the leader, "You robbed the gold of the Great Zhou, but did you also rob other families? How many families did you rob? Did you kill anyone? Where did all the things in your basement come from? Do you have anything else hidden somewhere else?"
At first, the Sect Master didn't reply, staring at Qiqi, suppressing the drug with his will.
Qiqi waited for him. Zhou Jingze lost his patience and slapped him on the back. The drug's effects finally dissipated. The sect leader was using his spiritual power to envelop the pill, slowing its dissolution, which was why he was able to resist it.
Qiqi asked again.
Seven years ago, I robbed a pawnshop that had a lot of jewelry and gold Buddha statues. I killed the owner and his entire family. Six years ago, I set my sights on a wealthy merchant and robbed them at night, killing their entire family.
He robbed a lot of things, and he was so happy looking at these precious things that he couldn't stop. He robbed any wealthy family or businessmen that his sect had robbed. He let them go if they didn't try to stop him. He killed anyone who tried to stop him. The court couldn't find out who was responsible.
They also looted numerous items from numerous secret realms, as well as from smaller sects. They also destroyed many of them. They had leapt from a lowly sect to one of the top ten major sects. This led many wealthy families to send their children to become disciples, and they received numerous gifts. Over the years, they recruited disciples widely, specifically children from wealthy families. Less affluent families were assigned to work as errand boys in the outer sects, to be used by them.
Now, the Baiyun Sect, relying on its reputation as one of the Ten Great Sects, is amassing wealth everywhere. However, no one dares to stand up for justice, so their bad reputation remains unspecified. Many wealthy families, eager to curry favor with their children, are willing to offer gifts. From top to bottom, the Baiyun Sect's morale has deteriorated into a sleazy state.
The sensible disciples all endured their anger and lived in silence. No one dared to stand up and accuse them. Whoever stood up would die. One day you see him, the next he disappears.
Qiqi and Zhou Jingze heard the clan leader's story and were so angry that they went up to him and slapped him several times. He fell to the ground and howled, and several of his teeth fell out.
Qiqi knows the effect of the truth pill, and he won't be able to control his mouth until he finishes what he wants to say.
Qiqi had no way of finding these victims. She planned to use the money to build a school in this place. She would adopt orphans and send them to school, where they would learn martial arts and crafts. Girls could learn needlework so that they could open clothing shops in the future.
Qiqi's idea was supported by Zhou Jingze, who chose the old man, Xiuniang, and the person who would manage the school.
The Baiyun Sect had been expelled from the Great Zhou. The sect leader, along with several elders and disciples who had participated in the murder, were paraded through the government office and then executed on the spot as a warning to others. The Baiyun Sect vanished from the scene.
Zhou Jingze ordered the guards and soldiers sent from the government office to search the Baiyun Sect inside and out to see if these people had hidden anything. The guards really found a lot of jewelry and gold and silver, which were used to fund the future school.
Zhou Jingze's hired tutors and maids had all arrived. They had already taken in hundreds of orphans and homeless beggars. The guards had also searched for local caregivers and cooks. They had all been found and were being paid monthly.
Qiqi asked Zhou Jingze to name the school, because she was terrible at naming. Qiqi was quick to learn and very smart, but she just couldn't come up with a name, and she just didn't want to use her brain.
Zhou Jingze named the school Yishan School, educating these orphans from a young age, encouraging them to be kind and studious, to do good things for the Great Zhou in the future, and to serve the Great Zhou when they grow up.
Qiqi and Zhou Jingze also selected two people from the Imperial Guard Battalion and the Women's Army to teach them martial arts, training them from a young age so that they could become Imperial Guards in the future.
