Another World Da Ming: I use a hundred lives to become holy

"They...are all mine now?"

Looking at the box full of documents in front of him, Tu Jie was truly speechless this time.

Let's not even mention the true void pie he encountered at the Emperor's place.

Even if you add up all of Tu Jie's previous lives, you've never seen such a large sum of money before!

So Tu Jie looked at Zhao Zheng again, and then at Song Zong.

There's nothing to be afraid of or nervous about anymore.

At this moment, all that remained in his heart was trepidation. The documents in his hands seemed to have become scorching hot, yet not burning his hands.

why?

Why was it Tu Jie?

This was the first time Tu Jie had stood in front of the treasure chest and seen the treasures inside.

He raised his head and looked at the person in front of him.

Zhao Zheng didn't explain; he knew Tu Jie well enough to know what kind of person he was, and he had a better answer.

"This isn't just one box; here's the warehouse key, and you'll be in charge of everything from now on."

"Lord Zhao..."

The cold iron in Tu Jie's heart was thus struck, and his voice was almost choked with sobs.

He treated me as a national hero, and placed even greater trust in me.

In the Ministry of Works camp, the occasional knocking sounds, at this moment, were no longer just hammering iron, but were clearly questioning Tu Jie's heart!

That small pebble from before will become the highest mountain blocking his path in this lifetime.

The last mountain.

Tu Jie is here to be a spy!

"However, I have one request!"

Now that Zhao Zheng has taken out the key and opened the door, he won't take it back.

However, there are some bottom lines he still needs to set for Tu Jie.

"Lord Zhao! Please give me your orders!"

"Your humble servant, Tu Jie, will do anything, even risk his life, to ensure the mission is accomplished!"

boom!

Can......

Tu Jie would never refuse again. He would agree to any request, no matter how many.

With the documents in hand, even if they don't belong to him but are under his control, Tu Jie has countless ways to profit from them without neglecting his main job.

This is Tu Jie's confidence.

He believed that this was also why Zhao Zheng trusted him so much.

How can Tu Jie repay Zhao Zheng?

He truly couldn't bear to die.

But even if he were to die a martyr, he could not be spared even a fraction of his glory.

Trust is a precious treasure at all times.

"There's no need to go to great lengths; just do your best."

"The three armies marched toward the capital, and they did so in secret. The losses during this process were many times greater than those of a normal march."

"I'm afraid the court will face many restrictions on spending in the future, and many people may suffer as a result."

"Maintaining stability, disaster relief, and helping the poor—take the money wherever it's needed. That's your mission from now on." But Zhao Zheng waved his hand, giving him such a simple task.

"..."

Tu Jie was almost fully prepared to commit blasphemous acts, and he was still waiting for what would happen next.

But then, nothing more was said.

"Lord Zhao? Is there anything else...?"

"Oh, by the way! Lord Tu, you can go to the storeroom now. I have a surprise for you."

"..."

This time, Tu Jie really couldn't hold back anymore.

His eyes were almost entirely filled with tears.

"Lord Zhao! We! We!"

Tu Jie gripped the key tightly in his hand, looking at Zhao Zheng, whose face was full of fatigue.

Finally, a feeling of indignation welled up inside me for him.

Why did the three armies set off?

Everyone knows that it's mostly to protect against the Zhao family.

But what about the Zhao family, and Zhao Zheng?

He is still concerned about world affairs and spending his own money for the people.

That's right, pay for it yourself.

In Tu Jie's view, Wang Mang was far inferior to his Lord Zhao.

The so-called virtuous reputation in the eyes of the world.

Throughout history, there have never been many truly virtuous names spoken by the people.

Humans are both human and not human.

Tu Jie didn't care what the Zhao family was planning; he only cared about Zhao Zheng's health.

In just one day, Tu Jie experienced ups and downs he never imagined in his life, and he felt that he had finally seen some things clearly.

"Lord Zhao, we!"

"What? Lord Tu is already itching to rebel?" Zhao Zheng saw through Tu Jie's unspoken words at a glance, a smile playing on his lips, but he immediately shook his head.

As for Tu Jie, seeing that Zhao Zheng had uttered the words "rebellion" that he dared not utter, and that none of the Imperial Guards present showed any unusual reaction, he completely let loose as well.

"Lord Zhao, the army has not yet arrived, this is the perfect opportunity. Why should we use our own resources to benefit others?"

Tu Jie spoke earnestly and patiently, and only today did he finally understand.

It seems that every move in the world is under Zhao Zheng's control.

But in Tu Jie's eyes, an army is still an army. When the three armies arrive, it will surely be the time for the emperor to take action against the Zhao family.

By then, it will be too late to talk about anything.

“What Lord Tu said is indeed very reasonable.”

"However, when did Zhao ever say he wanted to rebel?"

"Lord Tu, you should first go and see what gift Zhao has prepared for you in the storeroom. You don't need to worry about anything else."

Tu Jie was a corrupt official, but also a corrupt official with a bottom line who knew how to be corrupt.

But that's all.

Any further choices will depend on Tu Jie's own decisions. Just like before, Zhao Zheng no longer possesses the ambition to dominate the world.

Now he can only take the safest path and proceed step by step.

"Zhao..."

"Go."

"Yes......"

Tu Jie didn't understand, Tu Jie really didn't understand.

He turned and walked slowly toward the warehouse, toward the vast wealth he had pursued his whole life.

In fact, he had known for a long time that he could not sway Zhao Zheng's decision, after all, he had witnessed it many years ago.

But once again, and this time it was so extraordinary, almost concerning the entire Zhao family, Zhao Zheng remained as unfazed as ever.

Tu Jie was somewhat confused.

The keys in my hand were really hot to the touch.

Those documents, which were worth more than silver, seemed to have reverted to their original form as paper, and no longer held any appeal for him.

why?

He had previously asked himself why Zhao Zheng had chosen him.

Now, he is asking Zhao Zheng, the Zhao Zheng within his own heart.

What kind of people are the Zhao family and Zhao Zheng?

What are you all fighting for, and what are you persisting in?

Even after he was taken to the warehouse, he still couldn't understand what this person, who wasn't after money, profit, or fame, and was now even willing to risk his life, could possibly be pursuing.

......

"Lord Tu? It's been a long time!"

"Your Highness!"

Tu Jie was stunned again. He never expected that the person guarding the warehouse would be Wang Zheng, the Minister of Works.

Isn't the Ministry of Works Zhao Zheng's personal fiefdom?

Why would the Minister of Works feel uncomfortable here?

Why would they be guarding outside the warehouse?

Oh no, have we been exposed?!

"Lord Tu has come to collect those documents, right? These documents were all compiled by this old man, so young friend Zhao asked this old man to introduce them to Lord Tu one by one."

However, Tu Jie realized that he had underestimated the problem and had misunderstood it.

It's one thing if the Embroidered Uniform Guard is Zhao Zheng's man.

How did the Minister of Works become Zhao Zheng's man?!
