The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

"Your Majesty, the free medical clinic will last for three days, starting today."

"And it's not just this month, it's every month at this time, we'll be holding free clinics!"

Pei Guanyin said with a solemn expression, "Lord Chu still doesn't ask for anything in return. He promotes free medical clinics in His Majesty's name."

Therefore, the entire population of the capital is now deeply grateful to His Majesty.

Murong Si remained silent for a long while, took a deep breath to calm herself down, and looked at Pei Guanyin, saying, "Minister Chu, is this special fund for public welfare projects obtained from the confiscation of property by the Northern Garrison?"

"Your Majesty, Lord Chu said that he reported to Your Majesty that half of the proceeds from the confiscation of property by the Northern Garrison Command should have been handed over to Your Majesty's Imperial Treasury."

"However, with His Majesty's consent, it will no longer be handed over to His Majesty's private treasury."

"Instead, we had Lord Chu set up a special fund for public welfare in the Northern Garrison."

Pei Guanyin said with admiration in her eyes.

As one of the closest female officials to Empress Murong Si, she naturally knew that Chu Xiu had not reported this to Murong Si at all.

Half of the proceeds from the confiscation of property by the Northern Garrison Command was ordered by Murong Si to be given to Chu Xiu.

however!

Chu Xiu will not take a single penny!

Instead, by taking out all of this money and setting up a special fund for public welfare and free medical consultations, Murong Si's reputation was enhanced, not Chu Xiu's.

Even Pei Guanyin felt immense respect for such behavior.

This is why Pei Guanyin was stunned when she first saw the note.

"Minister Chu is truly a saint descended to earth."

With a look of deep emotion, Murong Si said, "As long as our Great Zhou Dynasty has even a single official like Minister Chu, how can our Great Zhou Dynasty not prosper?"

After saying that, she felt a sudden pang of heartache for Chu Xiu.

She felt that Chu Xiu was too upright and honest, which is why she bestowed a mansion upon him, gave him palace maids as servants, and assigned him imperial guards as protectors.

In order for Chu Xiu to be able to support the maids and guards in his mansion, she almost wished that Chu Xiu would embezzle and accept bribes.

However, knowing full well that Chu Xiu was not that kind of person, the only option was to issue an imperial edict to give half of the proceeds from the confiscation of the Northern Garrison's property to Chu Xiu, so that he could take the money openly and honestly, without having to resort to embezzlement and bribery.

result……

Chu Xiu actually took out half of what she had given him and used it all for this kind of good deed.

Not bad!

Good deed!

The name "Special Fund for Public Welfare Undertakings" might seem difficult to understand at first.

However, Chu Xiu convened doctors from all the medical clinics in the capital to conduct free medical consultations, and all expenses were covered by special funds for public welfare.

Murong Si then understood what the special fund for public welfare undertakings meant.

It clearly means that it is specifically used for doing good deeds.

"Lord Chu is just too kind..."

"His Majesty finally allowed Lord Chu to take silver openly, but Lord Chu took it all back."

Jiang Wan'er said in a low voice.

Pei Guanyin's pretty face showed agreement. Getting Chu Xiu to give her some money was really too difficult!

Upon hearing this, Murong Si rubbed her forehead and said with a headache, "Well then, Jiang Wan'er, you represent me to send 100,000 taels of silver, along with a batch of pills and elixirs, to Chu Aiqing's residence."

As for elixirs and spiritual herbs, we must ensure that the cultivation needs of Minister Chu's residence are met.

Every so often thereafter, a batch would be sent to Minister Chu's residence.

All expenses of Minister Chu's residence will be covered by my imperial treasury.

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

Jiang Wan'er and Pei Guanyin said with heartfelt admiration.

Since Chu Xiu was unwilling to pay, this was the only way to cover all the expenses of his residence.

After all, if a good official like him, who was so devoted to His Majesty and the people, couldn't even keep his household expenses afloat, they would feel guilty.

In a mansion in the capital city.

Inside the pavilion, an elderly man with white hair stood with his hands behind his back.

An aura of profound and majestic mastery emanated from the white-haired old man.

Swish!

A man in black appeared out of thin air behind the white-haired old man, bowing respectfully and saying, "Greetings, Master!"

"How's the intelligence gathering on Chu Xiu going?"

The white-haired old man spoke calmly.

The white-haired old man was none other than the Ruthless True Man, a top assassin from the Broken Army Hall, dispatched by Zhang Yue, the leader of the Seven Killings Organization, to the capital to rebuild the capital branch!

"Reporting to the leader, today Chu Xiu led the Northern Garrison's elite cavalry to attack the residence of Kong Yuancheng, the Vice Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard."

Upon hearing the news, Kong Yuancheng returned to the Kong residence immediately.

"As a result, at the main gate of the Kong family mansion, Chu Xiu killed Kong Yuancheng, who was at the peak of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm, with a single strike!"

"This person's strength has very likely reached the peak of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm!"

The man in black said with a solemn expression, "This must be why our Seven Kills organization has failed time and time again in our attempts to assassinate Chu Xiu!"

"Peak of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm?"

The ruthless master looked surprised and said, "No wonder, no wonder our Seven Kills Organization has failed time and time again!"

It turns out that this person's strength has already reached the peak of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm!

Before even reaching adulthood, he had already reached the peak of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm. Even in the martial world, his talent and aptitude were enough to earn him the title of a peerless genius!

"Master, should we inform the Palace Master to send a Dharma Aspect Realm protector to the capital to personally kill Chu Xiu?"

The man in black hesitated for a moment, then asked the Heartless Master.

"No need."

"I am also at the peak of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm."

"Moreover, I am an assassin, and my specialty is assassination."

"Even experts who have just stepped into the Dharma Aspect Realm, I have killed before."

"One Chu Xiu is nothing to worry about!"

The Ruthless Master smiled calmly and said, "His good luck has come to an end!"

"Yes."

The man in black lowered his head and spoke, but a sense of foreboding crept into his heart.

Is it possible for the Ruthless Immortal to truly kill Chu Xiu?

No, it's that we will definitely be able to kill Chu Xiu!

The leader is right. Even experts who have just stepped into the Dharma Aspect Realm have been killed by the Ruthless True Man.

It should be noted that the Ruthless Master is someone who has already comprehended the power of artistic conception!

Within the Yuan Shen realm, those who can comprehend the power of intent are all true masters.

Their leader is one of the top-tier gold-medal assassins even within the Po Jun Hall!

"Alright, if there's nothing else, you may leave now."

The Ruthless Master waved to the man in black behind him and said.

"Yes, I am resigning."

The man in black responded and then disappeared from the spot.

Beizhen Fusi.

Chu Xiu walked out of the study and said in a deep voice, "Someone come here."

"Greetings, my lord."

A guard from the Northern Garrison Command, who was stationed not far away, stepped forward and bowed to Chu Xiu.

"Summon Lin Huaiyu to see me."

Chu Xiu pondered for a moment, then spoke to the Imperial Guards of the Northern Garrison.

"Yes, Your subordinate obeys."

The Northern Garrison Commander responded and used his light-footed skill to leave.
