Universe Storage Box

And he left the army because of gambling. He lost too much that time. He owed the other party money for too long, and the casino people came to ask him for it... After he had no other choice, he misappropriated his salary. At that time... ... He still had some rights, but in the end, he paid back the money he owed... However, his misappropriation of military salaries was found out. In the end, he had been discharged from his post and returned home. The fact that there was no more serious punishment was already on account of the fact that he had performed a lot of meritorious deeds.    

    

After he retired, Guard Qiu did not have any other ability to make a living. He only had the strength of an arm. Thus, after a long time, when he arrived, Ministry Councillor Zhang happened to be in the recruitment hall, so he came to apply for the job. Because of his good skills, he was left behind. Ministry Councillor Zhang had even been here for more than a year. It could be seen that he was very satisfied with ___'s appointment as the head of the nursing home.    

    

During this period of time, Guard Qiu had indeed performed well. He did not gamble anymore. Instead, he diligently worked as the head of the guards. He protected the outer residence, and in the two years he had been here, although there had been some petty people visiting the outer residence, but... There was no loss at all. That was why Ministry Councillor Zhang was very satisfied with him. He made him the head of the guards.    

    

However, everything happened after he became the head of the guards. There was a change. After he became the head of the guards... He was respected even when he was outside... When others found out that he was the head of the guards of Ministry Councillor Zhang Prefecture, they were very polite to him. His income had also increased by quite a bit. And so... After being repeatedly invited by others, he once again turned his attention to the casino... Although, in his heart, he kept reminding himself not to touch it anymore... Otherwise, he would be ruined again and again, thinking... This was the last time.    

    

However, again and again, his gambling addiction flared up again. The number of times he went to the casino had also increased. Unknowingly, he had lost quite a bit. Although his income had increased a lot after he became the head guard of Ministry Councillor Zhang Prefecture, however, he couldn't bear the continuous losses. It didn't take long for him to spend all his savings for the past two years. He still owed a lot of money.    

    

And during this period of time, the casino's people were urging him to pay more and more debt. He could not bear to be disturbed, and the other party was also getting more and more impolite. Recently, he had been thinking of ways to borrow money from everywhere, but there were not many that he could borrow. It was far from enough to pay off his debt.    

    

So, when he heard the butler say that there would be a lot of valuable gifts this time, and that's when your eyes unconsciously lit up, obviously... He was attracted by the butler's words. If he could get one or two of those valuable treasures... He would be able to pay back all the money he owed.    

    

However, he was slightly hesitant in his heart because once this sort of thing was discovered... Ministry Councillor Zhang would definitely not let him go. He would definitely take him to the government office. Furthermore, after this matter was exposed, no one dared to hire him as a guardian anymore. After all, if there was a person with a bad character, the others would definitely not be at ease to pass their belongings to him.    

    

However, he was unwilling to miss this opportunity. After all, as long as he succeeded this time, he would be able to pay back the money he owed previously, and he would not need to go around looking at others to borrow money.    

    

"Damn it, I'll do it! Others might not be able to discover it. Even if they did, they could just run away. I'll just find another place to live!" Guard Qiu made up his mind. He did not have any relatives. He had always been alone, so there was nothing to worry about even if he ran away. He could leave at any time.    

    

Moreover, if the things he stole this time were very valuable, not only would he be able to pay off his gambling debts, he would also have quite a bit of savings. In that case, even if he changed places, he would still be able to live a good life.    

    

Guard Qiu had made up his mind. He started to pay attention to his surroundings. He was the leader of the guards in the prefecture. It was obviously very convenient for him to do this.    

    

Time slowly passed. Guests had arrived one after another. Guard Qiu led his men to patrol the courtyard. At the same time, he looked at the guests. As expected, these people came with gifts. Not a single one of them was empty-handed. Some looked at the luxurious packaging. It could be guessed that the things inside were definitely not simple.    

    

The entire outer prefecture was bustling with noise and excitement. Ministry Councillor Zhang himself came to the door to welcome the guests personally with a smile on his face.    

    

Ministry Councillor Zhang looked to be in his fifties or sixties, but he didn't seem to be losing his old age. Today, his face was filled with glory because of this joyous occasion, and he looked much younger than before.    

    

"Ministry Councillor Zhang, congratulations."    

    

"Officer Li, please come in. Please come in."    

    

"Ministry Councillor Zhang, you have contributed 80 years to the madame's life."    

    

"We are both happy and happy. Please come in and have some tea inside."    

    

Ministry Councillor Zhang stood at the door and watched the guests come one by one. His face was full of pride. Among these guests, there were not only famous gentlemen from rich villages nearby. There were also people who worked in the yamen, and so many people with status and status. Being invited together was obviously something to be proud of. This also showed that he had a wide range of friends.    

    

Moreover, these people did not come empty-handed. Obviously, he could make a good profit from this birthday banquet.    

    

The courtyard became more and more lively. More and more people came. Everyone gathered in twos and threes, chatting and joking. The atmosphere in the courtyard was very good.    

    

And the backyard was also very lively and busy. However... They were different from the busy ones in front of them, because they were all the servants in the Public House... They were busy taking out the gifts from the packaging boxes and registering them.    

    

"Minister Li, give me a glass bottle."    

    

"Chief Iron, give me a jade pendant."    

    

"Scholar Huang, give me a painting and calligraphy piece."    

    

The servants opened the boxes one by one, and according to the names on the boxes, one by one, they reported the gifts, and then someone placed the gifts together one by one. Later, they put them in a room specially used to store these gifts, and another person put them in a red account book and recorded them one by one.    

    

Guard Qiu, on the other hand, used the name of protecting the gifts to patrol the outside of the courtyard. The people inside did not know, and even if the people outside saw it, they would not say anything. After all, he was the head of the guards, so he had the responsibility and right to do so.    

    

"Assistant Minister Liu, give me a Jade Buddha!"    

    

The singing continued, but it was different this time. When the person announced the name of the gift, he did not take another one down. Instead, he looked at the Jade Buddha in his hand with an intoxicated expression.    

    

"Assistant Minister Liu? Is it that Assistant Minister Liu from the capital?" The person beside him did not urge him and instead asked. Clearly, he was curious about this Assistant Minister Liu's identity.
