Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

Chapter 120: Conviction in Court (Part )

Su Ping stood behind his stall. Opposite him sat a young girl who was about his age. It was hard to say whether she was pretty or not, because everyone tended to ignore her appearance, but she was a very nice person.

"Second Sister Su, how many Moras do we need to charge for these three positions?" Su Ping turned his head and looked at the three General Affairs Department staff members sitting on the chairs.

The girl he called "Second Sister Su" giggled and said, "Just sit for a while, why are you collecting Mora?"

Su Pingnuoyu said: "Even brothers should settle accounts clearly!"

"You and I are not related, nor are we brothers, so there's no need!" The girl held her chin with one hand, her short, thick black hair was beautiful, her face was pretty, and she was full of youth.

These words, which sound shameless but are true, often leave people speechless, whether they are people who are familiar with the girl or her father.

Su Ping was not at a loss for words, but he was not grateful for the favor. Three people on his side were occupying the other party's table and chairs. What could he do? He just went along with it.

"Second sister is right." Su Ping nodded like pecking at rice.

The girl seemed to have heard something earth-shattering, the most incredible thing in the world. Her eyes sparkled and she laughed, "What did I hear? Little Su Ping, do you think I was right? Why didn't I realize you were such a little brat before?"

"I..." Su Ping was stunned for a moment, and said calmly: "Second Sister Su, I'll go and close the stall first, otherwise I'll have to work later."

The girl groaned, then realized something was wrong and shouted, "So early?"

Su Ping hummed, without turning around, while he was packing up the things on the stall to prevent any customers from going to waste their time, he answered her question.

"I just came here for a visit. I'm busy today and can't set up a stall."

"What are you talking about? You can only be idle after closing the stall. You got it wrong."

Su Ping laughed but did not answer.

After packing up the stall and hanging up the closed sign, Su Ping went back to the back, and was greeted by the girl looking at him in confusion.

"Xiao Su Ping, you've changed!" The girl's words made the atmosphere at the scene become very strange, and then she continued to say something shocking, "You were not like this before!"

After these words were spoken, not only Su Ping was a little unsteady on his feet, but also Li Jin, Xu Xun, and even Li Cheng, who were sitting not far away and eating cakes quietly, turned around and looked at them.

With the peach blossom cakes in their hands and listening to the "earth-shaking news" that just happened, two of them smiled and one person's eyes were filled with emotion.

As for Su Ping himself, he seemed to be used to it. He spread his hands and said, "What's wrong with me?"

"You were very active in setting up the stall before, getting up early and working late, more diligent than my dad. But now you take a break every few days. Have you become lazy because you've made enough money?"

Su Ping smiled slightly, hearing the worry in the girl's tone, and slowly explained: "That's really not the case. It's mainly because there are indeed more things happening this year, so it can't be otherwise."

He felt that it was impossible to make enough money. Even if all the money in Teyvat was gathered in his hands, he would only wonder where there was more and how to get more.

Because after he became rich, his dreams of serving the world one after another made him feel that even if he had all the money in the world in his hands, he would still be afraid that it was not enough to continue doing what he did.

The girl nodded slightly after receiving the answer, and then said: "There is a saying among scholars, a scholar must be broad-minded and resolute, and the responsibility is heavy and the road is long! Little Su Ping, you must hold on, and you will definitely have good luck in the future!"

After nearly five years, Su Ping heard the sentence he had read from the book again. He laughed and said happily, "Of course, of course."

The boy was laughing, and the girl was laughing too. There was no significant reason, and it was not a love at first sight story like in novels. It was just that when they had some free time at the stall every day, they would chat like this.

It had nothing to do with anything else. It was just that an innocent girl was talking about her own experiences with a boy whom she thought was very good. In her own way, she was helping a boy who was much older than he actually was.

Before leaving, Su Ping asked again: "You really don't have to pay?"

"I've told you several times, if you don't want it, you don't want it!" The girl folded her arms on the flat ground and said with a pout.

"What should I do if my uncle comes to see me later?"

"If you don't say anything and I don't say anything, who would know? Anyway, I have the final say. Otherwise, my father is not that kind of person. What are you worried about?"

"It's just a joke, don't take it seriously."

"Okay, finish your work soon and come back to set up the stall sooner. Don't be so unruly all day long. Young people should keep their feet on the ground. What does it look like to float around like that?"

Su Ping blinked, turned around and left, and the other three naturally followed him.

After walking a long way out of the stall, Li Jin felt that the time was almost right. He looked at Su Ping, who was being scolded by the girl like a son, and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you good at talking? Why didn't you talk back just now?"

Su Ping lowered his head, took a breath, shook his head, and said in a deep voice that none of the three could understand: "It's not necessary."

At the stall, the young girl watched the four people leave. She was thinking about the words in the story she had heard, in which a mother taught the hot-tempered boy, wondering if the boy had heard it.

If not, what should she do next time?

Just as she was thinking to no avail, a customer behind the stall called for more dishes and called out the girl's name, "Second Lady, two more plates of Central Plains mixed vegetables!"

The girl's surname is Su and her name is Er Niang.

Su Erniang turned around, grinned, and shouted the same words that had been unchanged for a long time when serving dishes at her own stall, "Okay, sir, it'll be right here!"

Outside Yujing Terrace, the Qianyan Army on guard were patrolling back and forth with guns. This was the office location for officials from the General Affairs Department and the Seven Stars of Liyue. It was also the political center of Liyue, so there could be no mistakes.

As they walked up the long staircase to Yujing Terrace, Li Jin, who couldn't sit still, couldn't help but say, "It's really fun to have a nice meal! Don't worry, Boss Su, I will do a great job and make sure you are satisfied!"

Su Ping half-closed his eyes and said shockingly: "You are openly practicing corruption!"

"Hey, that's wrong. You said you would treat us all, how can you say I am corrupt?" Li Jin shook his head and spoke with certainty.

"I said please wait until I get back, not before you come!"

"What should I do? I still have one box here, how about I give it to you? It can be used as a substitute for the box I ate before, what do you think?"

Su Ping was really helpless. This person took the things he gave him and came back to claim that he wanted to pay for it. How could there be such a shameless person in the world?

However, after such a commotion, he felt much more relaxed. Before, he was still wondering what the outcome would be.

Now I feel that it doesn’t matter what happens. The real culprit will get the punishment he deserves.

The three of them took the token, passed the blockade line of the Qianyan Army, and went straight to the General Affairs Department, went to the trial venue, checked the specific location, and then started walking again.

When the four of them arrived there, most of the people were already there. Sitting in the highest and middle position was a white-haired old man, holding the code in one hand and the hammer in the other.

The next person to step back was Tianshu Xing, who Su Ping was familiar with. It was not uncommon to have a Seven Stars in charge of the trial of the General Affairs Department officials.

The rest were faces Su Ping didn't recognize, officials of all ranks, or trainee deputies who were listening in. They all stood on the sidelines. The center of the court belonged to the judge and the criminals.

Because this is not a lawsuit, it is only a public disclosure of the criminal's crimes and a trial of the subsequent handling results.

The old man sitting in the middle had a solemn expression on his face and said in a loud voice, "The court is in session! Summon Yunfei, the official from the former General Affairs Department, to enter the court!"

The words were so powerful that they made the listeners tremble all over and their scalps tingle.

The moment these words fell, the door opened, and four Qianyan soldiers wearing yellow armor escorted Yun Fei, who was in shackles, into the court.

His hair was disheveled, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was hideous and terrifying, like a vicious dog that wanted to bite everyone present to death, drink their blood and eat their flesh.

The old man in the middle position began to talk about the evil deeds committed by this man. Everyone present was shocked by every word he spoke.

"Yun Fei, you are an official in charge of adjudicating cases in the General Affairs Department. You should have made it your life's mission to serve the people and to get to the bottom of all injustices, big or small. But you have disregarded the law and dared to take bribes!

During the eight years since you took office, you have embezzled a total of twenty billion yuan, including food and wages for disaster relief, funds to help lonely elderly people, and even the cost of maintaining the weapons that the Qianyan Army needs over the years!

In addition, he accepted bribes as high as five billion and released the real murderer who was not aware of the case, causing innocent people to be wrongly accused and those who should have been punished to go unpunished!

You have committed such a heinous crime! According to Liyue law, I sentence you to death on the first day of February next year. Do you accept the punishment? ! "

"Hahaha……"

Unbridled laughter rang out in the solemn courtroom. It was Yun Fei who uttered it. He tilted his head, looked directly at the old man, and said disdainfully, "It's going to be a death sentence whether you admit it or not. It doesn't matter what you say. I have so much money in this life. I have lived a fulfilled life!

Aren’t you just picking me out and killing me for the others to see? You can catch me, but you can’t catch others like me! We are immortal and indestructible! Hahahaha…”

"Disrupting the court is a heavier crime! You will be caned twenty times and taken away!" After the old man gave the order, he slammed his hand on the table.

With a bang, the final word was given to rectify official discipline.

After Yun Fei was taken away, it was the turn of another person to enter the court. That person was a middle-aged man, his surname was Wang and his given name was Bu Lin.

This man was not put in shackles, and there were only two Qianyan soldiers guarding him. However, the moment he walked into the courtroom, his legs almost couldn't stand and he was shaking.

This Wang Bushin was the Wang Yuanwai who had someone borrow his name to enter a private school and cause trouble a few years ago.
