Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 163 Ji Town
Jiubian refers to the nine military towns established by Daqian on the border. These nine military towns are usually supervised by governors.

Although the Supreme Emperor was old, he also discovered the problems in Daqian's army. He had previously issued an order for the governors to conduct thorough inspections of the nine military towns.

However, the intensity of the governor's supervision is far from solving the problem. You must know that the nine military towns all have heavy troops, and it is not a trivial matter if they really want to cause trouble.

In particular, it has been discovered that many governors are involved in the corruption camp in military towns, making it difficult for the imperial inspections sent by the Supreme Emperor to achieve results, and may even encounter dangers on the way.

It was precisely because of this that the Supreme Emperor decided to send the commanders of the nine provinces to patrol the border. The commanders of the nine provinces themselves could bring heavy troops and had imperial authority. Unless the generals in the military town wanted to rebel, they could only accept investigation.

Originally, it was Wang Ziteng who was sent by the Supreme Emperor. Considering that Wang Ziteng had obtained the military resources of the Jia family and his prestige in the military, he was able to do this difficult job well.

In order to sow discord between the Supreme Emperor, Jia Qiang and Wang Ziteng, Emperor Jingwen used a trick to select Jia Qiang to be the ruler of nine provinces.

But the Supreme Emperor, who had just seen Jia Qiang's powerful force, the 10,000-strong Beijing camp in Jia Qiang's hands, and most importantly, the Tian family blood in Jia Qiang's body, all contributed to the Supreme Emperor agreeing to Emperor Jingwen's plan. proposal.

In addition, even if Jia Qiang was expelled from the Jia clan in the capital, he was still a direct descendant of Duke Jia Yan. At that time, Jia Daihua served as the governor of the Beijing camp. There were many subordinates of Jia Daihua in these nine sides. .

Compared with Wang Ziteng, Jia Qiang can represent the Jia family better. At least Jia Qiang is named Jia and has the blood of the Jia family.

His body jumped off the white horse and rushed towards the city wall.

But with Prince Tengzhong taking over the official position of controlling nine provinces, this loss is worth it to the Wang family.

But this is one of the nine towns and is the key to Daqian blocking the north. How could there be no one on the city wall to guard it.

Jia Qiang grabbed her hand in front of her. This arrow was almost certain to hit, but he caught it in his hand.

He could completely ignore it, and his speed was too fast. From the time he made the move to climb the city wall to the time he climbed onto the city wall, the whole process only took a few breaths.

Although Jia Qiang was wearing unicorn armor, his face armor was raised, leaving his face and throat unprotected.

As long as Jia Qiang dies, the remaining 10,000 people in the capital will be leaderless, and with his connections in Jizhen, it doesn't matter what he says.

"Sir, Wang Ziyun, the deputy commander-in-chief of Jizhen, is Wang Ziteng's younger brother!" Zang Feiyu reminded.

But he paid the price, but the result was not what he thought.

Jia Qiang could already see Ji Zhen, and his eyes were slightly focused, because the detective horse he sent out did not come back.

He saw the powerful archer who was killed by his own arrow, as well as the soldiers hiding behind the arrow stack.

With his 84 points of agility, coupled with his body that has become light after practicing the 'Maitreya Zen Reclamation', he stepped on the city wall in just one breath and flew upwards as if it were flat ground.

The person who shot this arrow was obviously a powerful archer. Even a fifth-level warrior would inevitably be hit by a sudden arrow.

Looking at the closed door of Ji Town, it didn't look like they were welcoming him at all.

"Is Jizhen going to rebel?" Jia Qiang's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He shouted loudly as he stood on the back of the white horse and took off the 'Zhentian Bow'.

"Kill him!" Wang Ziyun shouted instinctively at this moment.

"If Wang Ziyun dares to capture the detective horse from the Beijing camp, even if he is the deputy commander, he would not dare to do so without the support of the commander in chief!" Jia Qiang said in a deep voice.

Tan Ma is not alone. Even if he enters the city to report, there will still be Tan Ma returning to report.

At this time, his soldiers were all on the city wall. When the time came, the shooting of Jia Qiang was blamed on a dead soldier. The dead soldier lost his hand due to nervousness and shot Jia Qiang.

Of course, the consequences of the death of a first-grade military attache were also extremely serious. Afterwards, Ji Zhen, the commander-in-chief, and he were all unlucky.

News came back from the capital that Jia Qiang had snatched his brother's job and the opportunity for promotion.

This is still the first stop and I encountered this situation.

Today, he happened to be patrolling the city. He first ordered people to seize the scouting horses from the Beijing camp, and then invited the Wang family's powerful archers to take action.

Suddenly, an arrow was shot from the city, and the arrow was extremely accurate, heading towards his throat.

Speed, strength and reduced gravity allow him to treat vertical walls as flat ground. Even if this wall is tall, it is only a dozen meters or so.

He drew his bow and reflected the arrow in his hand, and a scream came from the city.

With Tan Ma arriving at Ji Town in advance, the news that Jia Qiang, the governor of the nine provinces, was about to arrive at Ji Town had already arrived.

"Bian Zhen is used to being arrogant at Bianguan. Whatever he does is normal!" Zang Feiyu replied helplessly.

"Take out the guard of honor!" Jia Qiang waved her hand and ordered.

Nine thousand cavalry from the Beijing camp stopped in the distance, and the rest of the cavalry plus Jia Qiang's personal soldiers followed Jia Qiang down to Ji Zhen City.

Jia Qiang's power exceeded his judgment, and the price he paid far exceeded his estimate.

The two guards from Beijing and Camp traveled for several days and arrived at Ji Town, the first stop of the trip.

The city of Ji Town was quiet, and no one seemed to be around.

The terrifying arrow shot through the treasure bow was extremely obedient in his palm.

A second-grade military attache was looking at him with horrified eyes, and the blood of the fierce archer was sprayed all over his face.

The guard of honor under the control of the nine provinces is a guard of honor for a first-class military attaché, with the flag flying after it is fired.

Jia Qiang shook her head. If that was the case, the patrol would be quite troublesome.

This was Wang Ziyun's idea. He was not a strong general, but he learned from Zi Ziteng. He considered himself a Confucian general and thought he was good at conspiracy.

"I am in charge of the nine provinces, Jia Qiang. Where is the general of Ji Town?" Jia Qiang rode a white horse and rode out from the crowd to twenty meters below the city wall. She raised her head and shouted loudly.

Just now, the second-grade military attaché was standing next to the mighty Archer. He was none other than Wang Ziyun.

The mighty Archer is dead, and it seems that he will also be charged with murdering the imperial envoy, which is enough to make him die without a burial place.

The personal guards were all carefully selected and loyal. After hearing his order, they rushed towards Jia Qiang regardless of anything.

Jia Qiang ignored these guards. His speed was too fast, and the guards only felt their eyes blurred. They did not dare to make any move next.

Jia Qiang was seen holding Wang Ziyun in one hand and standing where Wang Ziyun originally stood.

Just when he was about to kill these personal guards, a group of people came to the city wall.

"But Mr. Jia, the commander of the nine provinces, why did you arrest Deputy General Wang?" The speaker was the second-grade military attache. The two tough generals around him were on guard, fearing that Jia Qiang would take action against the second-grade military attache.

"Are you General Zhao?" Jia Qiang looked at the second-grade military attaché and asked in a deep voice. "Zhao Anguo has met Mr. Jia!" Zhao Zongbing replied with an ugly expression.

"Why did I arrest Deputy General Wang? Could it be that General Zhao couldn't see it?" Jia Qiang looked at General Zhao and asked.

As long as General Zhao dared to say that he couldn't tell, he would arrest General Zhao as well, and all the chief and deputy generals of Ji Town would be escorted back to the capital.

Anyone who sees the situation on the city wall can guess the situation at this time.

The sergeants who were supposed to be stationed on the city wall have disappeared, leaving only Wang Ziyun's personal soldiers. Doesn't this explain the problem?
General Zhao's expression changed for a moment, and he looked at Wang Ziyun again with disgust in his eyes.

This Wang Ziyun had killed all the officers in Ji Town. Although it was later found out that the incident was only related to Wang Ziyun, it would be difficult for the officers in Ji Town to get promoted after this misdeed.

"Master Jia, the facts are there for Wang Ziyun to assassinate the imperial envoy!" General Zhao said in a deep voice.

"Wang Ziyun led the troops to rebel. I will hand him over to the capital and ask General Zhao to join me in writing a letter to the Holy One!" Jia Qiang nodded with satisfaction.

General Zhao felt a chill in his heart. Leading troops to rebel was a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan, and even the clan leader Wang Ziteng would be implicated.

It is true to say that he assassinated the imperial envoy. It is barely understandable to say that he led the troops to rebel.

Who could tell that Wang Ziyun brought so many soldiers, as well as a powerful archer, and occupied the city of Ji Town. All these circumstances added up, he could be regarded as leading the rebellion.

"Where is my detective horse?" Jia Qiang pulled up Wang Ziyun's body and asked him facing her.

"Kill them all!" Wang Ziyun heard what Jia Qiang had just said, and he gritted his teeth and said.

"Dare to kill my Tanma!" Jia Qiang's body was filled with murderous intent, and he shouted sternly.

"General, arrest all of Wang Ziyun's tribesmen in Ji Town, all his troops will hand over their weapons for investigation, and all the sergeants involved in the assassination will be beheaded!" He took out his nine-province commander's seal and ordered in a deep voice.

General Zhao was about to obey the order when he saw that the Wang family's personal guards, who had originally been wary of rats, could no longer bear it when they heard that Jia Qiang wanted to kill all the sergeants involved in the assassination.

Either way, they would all die. The royal guards would rather die in battle than be captured and beheaded one by one.

They yelled and rushed towards Jia Qiang, even though they knew that Jia Qiang was a strong general, they wanted to take advantage of their numerical advantage to kill Jia Qiang.

Jia Jingang, who was at the bottom of the city, grabbed a fierce archer guard and threw it to the city wall. The force of more than 7,000 kilograms threw the fierce archer guard directly onto the city wall.

When the warrior archer was in the air, he took out his treasured bow, set it up and shot arrows.

The Wang family's personal guards who rushed towards Jia Qiang fell one by one with a flurry of arrows.

Jia Jingang was not finished yet. He then threw three fierce archers and guards onto the city wall. These three warriors and archers joined in the attack to kill the Wang family's guards.

General Zhao was shocked by the behavior of the Wang family's personal guards. When he came to his senses, he discovered that there were four more powerful archers on the city wall, and the Wang family's personal guards had been slaughtered.

"Zhao Anguo obeys the order!" General Zhao bowed and replied.

He didn't dare to do anything at the moment. Jia Qiang's own strength and the strength of his men were beyond his imagination.

Even if only Wang Ziyun was guarding the city wall with his own soldiers, he shouldn't have been controlled without even a chance to resist.

The soldiers of the General Military Mansion were dispatched to hunt for Wang Ziyun's tribe throughout the city, and his army also surrendered its weapons under the pressure of the General Military Mansion.

People in the city were panicked, and many people didn't know what was happening.

But people who were interested soon discovered that all the people arrested this time were related to Deputy General Wang, especially the Wang family members who were doing business in various parts of the city, and they were all taken away.

Jia Qiang personally led people to surround Wang Ziyun's house. As the deputy commander-in-chief, he could have such a big house in Ji Town, which shows that Wang Ziyun has a lot of power in Ji Town.

His fierce generals and soldiers rushed into the house, and everyone in the house was captured, and those who dared to resist were killed on the spot.

This is a military town, not an ordinary city. Military law is enforced here.

Wang Ziyun's family was here. The whole family was put into a prison car and taken back to Beijing with Wang Ziyun.

Originally, Jia Qiang had to find an excuse to return to the capital to take part in the examination, but now there is no need. After doing some research in Ji Town, he can go back to Beijing directly, and he will almost catch up with the examination in time.

A large amount of gold and silver was also found from Wang Ziyun's home, worth almost two hundred thousand taels of silver.

A deputy commander-in-chief was only a collateral member of the Wang family, but he had more than 200,000 taels of silver stored at home.

To be honest, even Wang Ziteng at this moment can hardly say that he has so much cash at home. Wang Ziteng has invested too much in his official position.

The guard to which Zang Feiyu belonged had professional investigators.

After the heroes and soldiers searched it, it was handed over to professionals.

Subsequently, a large amount of jewelry and medicine were found, with an estimated value of 300,000 taels of silver.

Now Jia Qiang was absolutely convinced that there must be something wrong with Wang Ziyun.

He personally entered Wang Ziyun's house and checked the account books he found one by one.

You won't know it until you look at it, but you will be shocked at first glance. What a good guy. Wang Ziyun has been trading with foreigners for a long time. Although he doesn't know what the transactions are, these are all private transactions without following the formal procedures.

Wang Ziyun also occupied a large number of farmland. These farmlands were all the fields of Jizhen sergeants, but they became Wang Ziyun's private land, and even the sergeants became his long-term employees.

As for taking free money, let alone this kind of thing, it is a routine operation.

Jia Qiang stayed in Wang Ziyun's house and wrote down all the properties found and the crimes investigated, and then sent them back to the capital on a fast horse.

"Sir, I found this!" A fierce general's bodyguard sent a book.

Jia Qiang took the book. The title of the book was "Hundred Meridians and Thousands of Refining Techniques". When she opened it, it turned out to be a general's body refining technique.

What surprised him the most was that the meridians of the 'Hundred Meridians and Thousand Refining Technique' did not overlap well with the general body refining technique he had practiced before. This seemed to be a general training technique that he could practice.

He originally thought that he would gain little benefit from this house raid.

The gold, silver, jewelry, and even the big medicines will be sent back to the capital as evidence to confirm Wang Ziyun's crime.

"I just don't know if this is the body refining inheritance technique of the Wang family?" Jia Qiang murmured to herself.

He didn't know much about the Wang family, and no one in the Wang family he met practiced the general body refining technique, so he couldn't tell whether the 'Hundred Meridians Thousand Refining Technique' was the body refining inheritance technique of the Wang family.

The unexpected gain made him feel good, and he did not move out of this house. This house was the best in the whole Ji Town. He couldn't rob General Zhao's military mansion.
