I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 137 Seized Proceeds

Soon, the Ming army wiped out the remaining Japanese pirates on the island!Immediately afterwards, Hu Zongxian issued an order to disperse the soldiers in a team of 12 to clean up the battlefield.

"Governor, we found a hidden treasure house over there. There are countless rare antiques, gold, silver and jewelry in it. It must have been obtained by Wang Zhi who looted the people for so many years!" Qi Jiguang came to Hu Zongxian and reported respectfully. road.

"Well, take me over there to have a look."

After hearing Qi Jiguang's report, Hu Zongxian also became interested, and followed Qi Jiguang's steps to the location of the treasure house.

At this time, the entrance to the treasure house was firmly controlled by Qi Jiguang's soldiers. Seeing the two men coming, they hurriedly made way for Hu Zongxian and Qi Jiguang to enter.

In the treasury, there are countless kinds of gold, silver and jewelry, and the dazzling array of rare treasures are also divided into several types, and they are arranged very neatly!There are several shelves set up in the treasure house, one shelf is full of antiques, and the other shelf is full of jade and other things.

As for the largest amount of gold, silver and jewelry, they were randomly piled up in the corner. Hu Zongxian also found a red coral weighing more than 20 catties in the corner.

"Not bad, it must be that Wang Zhi has accumulated in recent years! The officials have roughly estimated the things here. If they are converted into silver taels, they should be about 300 million taels."

After Hu Zongxian finished speaking, he picked up a piece of jade and played with it carefully.

"My lord, what should we do with these things?" Qi Jiguang who was at the side saw this and asked quickly.

"Well, let's take some of it out and share it with everyone! It's like fulfilling my promise ahead of time."

"As for the remaining part, let the navy send a ship to take them all away, and then hand them over to the imperial court!"

Hu Zongxian put the piece of jade in his hand back to its original position, and instructed Qi Jiguang.

"Yes, my lord governor, the final order will go on!"

After Qi Jiguang received Hu Zongxian's order, he replied in a deep voice.

When the two walked out of the treasure house, a soldier hurried over from a distance, shouting something, but because the distance was too far, everyone couldn't hear clearly, and the guard in charge of Hu Zongxian's safety was a group of soldiers. The face is tense.

"My... my lord, there is news from the navy that they have captured Wang Zhi!"

"Hmph, I said earlier that this Wang Zhi can't escape!"

Hearing the news brought by the soldiers, Hu Zongxian and Qi Jiguang looked at each other and laughed loudly.

"Your Excellency, the governor is really good at predicting things, how can a mere Wang Zhi escape from your palm!" Qi Jiguang complimented Hu Zongxian after seeing Hu Zongxian's good mood.

"Before the start of the war, I have dispatched sailors to surround the entire Jintang Island. May I ask where can they escape?" Hu Zongxian seemed to be quite pleased with Qi Jiguang's compliment, and stroked his beard happily.

"Go, take me there." Hu Zongxian said, ordering to the visitor.

"Yes, Governor, this way please!"

……

Soon, Hu Zongxian and Qi Jiguang saw Wang Zhi in a panic and his subordinate Mao Haifeng on the boat.

"Your Majesty has met the Governor!"

"No, tell me, how did you catch them."

"Report to the governor, since I received your order, I have personally led the ship and waited here! During this period, I did not dare to slack in the slightest, until just now, I accidentally discovered a ship sailing in the distance."

"The lower official guessed that this ship might be Japanese pirates who escaped from the island, so he led the ship to check the situation, who knew they were caught on the spot!"

"Well, you guys have done a good job. After I go back, I will go to the school in person to show my merits to His Majesty!"

After listening to his subordinate's report, Hu Zongxian nodded and encouraged him.

"Thank you, Governor, for your support, thank you, Governor, for your support!" Seeing that Hu Zongxian was going to show his merits in person, the visitor looked excited, and immediately knelt down on the deck and said respectfully.

"Well, get up." Hu Zongxian said calmly after someone helped him up.

After doing all this, Hu Zongxian came to Wang Zhi, bent down, and said in a deep voice: "Wang Zhi, do you know how long I have been waiting for this day? I must let the court kill you alive." , to avenge those ordinary people who were harmed by Japanese pirates!"

At this time, Wang Zhi was tied up with a rope and couldn't move. Hearing Hu Zongxian's words, he said, "Hmph, I wanted to do business well, but what happened? Governor Wang Yan sent Yu Dayou to lead the army to attack Ligang, You wanted to surround and annihilate me, Wang Zhi, but in the end you let me escape?"

"Why do you think the Japanese pirates can never be wiped out? It's because the people along the coast have no way to survive, so they have to go to smuggle! If I die, there will be a second and third Wang Zhi soon."

After hearing Wang Zhi's justification, Hu Zongxian smiled: "Mere pirates, also want to use their strength to blackmail the imperial court and open up Hong Kong? Such unhealthy trends must not be raised, and must be stopped!"

"If the people in my Ming Dynasty were like you, how would the court's work be carried out? Even if the court wants to lift the sea ban one day and open the port to the city, it is the common will of His Majesty and the cabinet members!"

Hu Zongxian turned his gaze to Wang Zhi, his face full of sarcasm: "And you are just a mere pirate, relying on the pirates under your command to plunder the people and extract their poor wealth, insects like you have What qualifications do you have to criticize the imperial court's policies?"

"If you are really as righteous as you said, you shouldn't surrender. After all, you are still holding a little luck, hoping that someone can forgive your sins! If you really think about those people, you shouldn't surrender." Let your subordinates go and plunder them, let alone start a rebellion in Fujian and other places, after all, this is just an excuse you made for yourself."

"I...I didn't." Wang Zhi was speechless after being refuted by Hu Zongxian's words, and wanted to defend himself, but couldn't find a suitable excuse for a while.

After Hu Zongxian finished speaking, he shook his head and left the boat without looking at Wang Zhi.

……

The Forbidden City, the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Today's Jiajing is still studying the secret book of the formation, and wants to get some insights, and draw out the ecstasy formation as soon as possible.

"Oh, failed again!"

Jiajing withdrew his mana and sighed helplessly as he watched the Fascinating Formation gradually disintegrate in front of him.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report." At this moment, Lu Fang's voice came from outside the hall.

"Come in." Jiajing raised his eyebrows and said softly.

Lu Fang came to Jiajing with silent steps, and handed over the memorial in his hand respectfully: "Your Majesty, this is the list of impeachment handed over by Yan Maoqing, do you see it?"

"Didn't I tell you before? The list that Yan Maoqing handed over, you just let Jin Yiwei watch and deal with it!" Jiajing frowned after hearing Lu Fang's words, and still took over the memorial.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. This servant deserves to die, but I forgot about it!" Seeing that Jiajing was a little unhappy, Lu Fang quickly knelt down on the ground and pleaded guilty to Jiajing.

"Forget it, get up." Jiajing glanced at Lu Fang and said.

Jiajing knew very well that it was not that Lu Fang had forgotten his advice, but that there were people on the list whom he could not make up his mind about.

Jiajing then opened the memorial, and the first name that came into view was Li Zhiquan, the envoy of the government, and Li Zhiquan's name was circled with a red pen.

"Li Zhiquan, isn't this someone from Xu Jie and the others? According to what I said earlier, let's do it together."

Jiajing closed the memorial and handed it back to Lu Fang, saying calmly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this servant obeys!"

After getting the emperor's permission, Lu Fang's face was full of gratitude.
