Great Chu Dynasty — Yongzhou — Yong'an County

Inside a courtyard

"Old Xu, you were so young, your beard wasn't even fully grown, how could you just leave like that? You didn't even have a chance to get married yet..."

"Ah, Brother Xu Qing, we worked together, rest in peace, the county office will not forget your contributions..."

"Enough, enough, what contributions? He was hit on the head by a falling rock while going up the mountain to suppress the bandits, he didn't even see the bandits, what a miserable death."

Two men in black robes, who were constables, sighed deeply as they looked at the man lying on the straw mat in the main room.

Both men were about the same height, one fat and one thin.

As they spoke, they placed the apples they had prepared on the table, lit a few candles, and burned three sticks of incense.

In the county office, they had all worked under Head Constable Zhao, and their relationship with Xu Qing was quite good. At this moment, they felt they had done their best for him.

The thin man took out a silver ingot from his chest and sighed again, "You lived for sixteen years and didn't even get a wife. You were all alone, and now the county magistrate's five taels of silver as compensation, we don't even know where to give it to."

The slightly fat man also sighed, "Yes, yes, five taels of silver, enough to visit the Fragrant Scent Courtyard several times..."

At this moment, the two constables deeply felt the most painful thing in life.

A person dies, but the money is not spent...

The thin man looked at the silver in his hand, then at Xu Qing lying on the straw mat.

Just bury it with Xu Qing?

That's too wasteful!

Besides, they don't use silver there either!

After some thought, he looked at Xu Qing on the straw mat and said, "Brother Xu Qing, how about this, we take three taels to arrange your funeral and buy a coffin, and the remaining two taels will be a reward for us two."

The slightly fat man sighed, "Ah, Brother Xu, you won't need this silver there. When we bury you, we'll burn more paper money for you, so you can live a wealthy life there."

"If you don't say anything, we'll take it as your agreement!"

...

"Damn, I overslept!"

Xu Qing struggled and suddenly sat up from the straw mat, his graduation certificate for his master's degree was still warm in his hands!

After sitting up, Xu Qing rubbed his sleepy eyes, wondering when there were hard sleeper seats on the bus...

Wait, something seems off...

Where's my certificate?!

Clunk—

The sound of the silver ingot hitting the wooden floor...

Then came two terrified shouts:

"Mom!"

"Ghost!"

The two voices startled Xu Qing.

He opened his eyes in panic and looked around cautiously, "Ghost... where is the ghost?"

When Xu Qing turned his head, he only saw two figures running away, stirring up dust in the courtyard...

Where... is this place?

Who were those two who just ran away?

Then Xu Qing felt a sharp pain in his head, and some memories flooded his mind.

The Great Chu Dynasty, Yongzhou, a constable in the Yong'an County office, hit on the head by a falling rock while suppressing bandits with the army.

This was the first scene that came to his mind.

He rubbed his slightly sunken stomach, feeling a bit hungry, and picked up an apple from the small table nearby, wiping off the incense ash with his sleeve, then took a bite.

Crunch—

Crisp and sweet!

After eating the apple, Xu Qing's memories were mostly clear.

His father was a head constable who died in the line of duty two years ago, and Xu Qing took over his father's job and became a proud constable in the Yong'an County office.

He was hit on the head by a falling rock while suppressing bandits with the army.

The two who just ran away were probably two constables who were close to him, the fatter one was Li Dong, and the thinner one was Liu Ji.

Xu Qing was sure he had been transported to another world.

He wasn't unfamiliar with such a situation; he used to arrange such things for others.

During his postgraduate studies, to make a living, he wrote historical fiction while studying.

But... why was he the one being transported this time?!

Who arranged it?!

Step forward!

A bright future was waiting for him!

How could he be so rashly transported?!

Just because he fell asleep on the bus?!

And if he was transported, wouldn't all his efforts for a 9-to-5 job be in vain?!

He still remembered how he changed his phone interface to English to study for his exams.

Day after day, night after night.

He finally made it through.

Now, he got his certificate today, and it's useless tomorrow!

Who could accept that?!

Xu Qing couldn't help but curse the heavens:

"Damn heavens! You're ruthless!"

Outside, a tile fell from the roof and shattered on the ground...

Xu Qing stopped cursing.

He was afraid that the next time he walked by, a tile would hit him on the head.

Under a big tree on the street

Li Dong and Liu Ji were leaning against the tree, panting heavily, clearly having burst with unprecedented potential just now.

Liu Ji, trembling, said to Li Dong, "Xu Qing... wasn't he killed by the rock? How... how is he alive again?"

Li Dong's voice also trembled, as did his legs...

"I don't know, the coroner examined the body, and when we carried him back, his body was already cold!"

"Then how did he move?"

"I don't know..."

"Quick, we need to report to the magistrate!"

After discussing, they ran towards the county office.

...

Inside the courtyard

Xu Qing picked up the five taels of silver from the ground. This was the compensation for his predecessor's life, and he needed to cherish it.

Five taels of silver was not a small amount in ancient times.

Although he was transported, it didn't matter. With his ability to predict the future, he could quickly find a famous historical figure to rely on, and his future happiness would be secure!

Wait...

Which dynasty did he transport to again?

The Great Chu Dynasty?

Founded by Xiang Yu?

That doesn't make sense, how could there be silver ingots in that era?

He searched his memory again.

After the Sui Dynasty, the world was divided into three—Chu, Zhou, and Zhao...

This is ridiculous!

After the Sui Dynasty, shouldn't it be the Tang Dynasty?!

Xu Qing was shocked to realize that he not only transported but also to a parallel and fictional chaotic era!

The wheels of history in this era had stubbornly run to a point that even eight horses couldn't pull back...

Relying on a famous figure wouldn't work.

He would have to rely on himself from now on...

And when Xu Qing traced his memories, he was surprised to find something odd.

When he recalled, the scenes seemed to float before his eyes!

The memories of his two lives were like two parallel scrolls, and everything he had seen, the original owner had seen, could be found in his solidified memories with perfect accuracy!

Xu Qing looked at his hand in a daze, muttering, "A golden finger?"

Then his eyes turned angry!

A golden finger wouldn't help either!

Did he know how much he had sacrificed for the college entrance exam and the postgraduate exam?!

Without giving him a system or something as compensation, did the heavens deserve his hard work?!

But clearly, the heavens did not meet Xu Qing's unreasonable request.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he took another bite of an apple.

His expression became even more resentful!

One apple after another...

Just as Xu Qing was getting angrier and more engrossed in eating,

A group of people in similar constable uniforms approached the door.

Among them were Li Dong and Liu Ji, who had just run away.

Liu Ji pointed at Xu Qing inside the room and said, "Boss, this is Xu Qing's house. Look, he's not only alive, he... he... he's eating apples!"

Seeing the people, Xu Qing quickly put down the apple and stood up.

He couldn't help but stand up because the person who came was his superior, Head Constable Zhao.

He, Liu Ji, and Li Dong were all constables under Head Constable Zhao.

Head Constable Zhao and the other constables looked at Xu Qing for a long time before he spoke, "Are you Xu Qing? Are you... a human or a ghost?!"
