I practiced magic in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 37: Getting rich is turning other people's money into your own money

Wang Jing ignored Zuo Feng. His eyes fell directly on Yang Ye. His eyes were slightly indifferent and his tone was a little cold: "Did I ever say that during the training, outsiders are not allowed to visit the camp without my permission?"

Yang Ye was sweating profusely when he heard this. The bloody scene of the flying limbs and arms that day seemed to appear before his eyes. He bowed and explained quickly: "Captain, calm down, this is..."

Wang Jing raised his hand to stop Yang Ye from continuing, and asked again in a solemn voice: "First, tell me how to deal with those who trespass into the military camp according to military law?"

This question left Yang Ye dumbfounded.

What is the situation now? Are you talking to me about military law?
Even though you don't know the eunuch Zuo Feng, you should at least know that he came from the palace, right?
For a moment, Yang Ye didn't know how to answer.

"This...Captain Wang...your subordinate..."

Just as Yang Ye was hesitating and didn't know how to start, Zuo Feng got angry. He looked at Wang Jing with a cold face and a sinister expression: "Captain Wang, are you going to punish me according to military regulations?"

Wang Jing glanced at Zuo Feng and said, "Where did you get this eunuch? Did I let you speak?"

Zuo Feng was so angry that he was shaking all over, and he yelled on the spot: "How dare you!"

However, when it comes to voice, how can he, an eunuch without any cultivation, be a match for Wang Jing?

"You are the bold one!"

Wang Jing's roar contained the power of thought, like a wake-up call: "I am a cavalry captain, training soldiers for the imperial court. According to military law, even if the emperor is coming, we must notify him in advance and get permission before entering. You are just a eunuch, a slave in the palace. Not only did you break in without permission, you even roared at me in public? Are you really that bold!"

Wang Jing scolded Zuo Feng so much that he was speechless, his face turned pale, and he even had trouble breathing for a while.

"you you you!"

"What do you mean? Someone, catch him!"

"promise!"

At Wang Jing's command, more than a dozen Iron Scale Sword Guards behind him rushed forward.

They are all masters with forged martial bones, good at fighting in formations, and absolutely loyal to Wang Jing. They don't care whether you, Zuo Feng, are a favorite of the Empress Dowager.

But in the blink of an eye, Zuo Feng and the two Yongle Palace guards he brought with him were captured.

"Wang Jing, do you want to rebel? I am the Empress Dowager's man!"

Zuo Feng was just a eunuch, powerless, but after being captured he was still shouting and yelling angrily, not taking Wang Jing seriously at all. He even thought about how to complain to the Empress Dowager after returning and make Wang Jing pay for it.

But he didn't understand that Wang Jing had already decided to kill him and had no intention of letting him leave the Tunqiying alive.

The people around were stunned by Wang Jing's crazy behavior.

Even Wang Gai couldn't stand it anymore, he stepped forward and grabbed Wang Jing's arm, and said anxiously: "Yuan Xu, stop messing around, let him go quickly."

In Wang Gai's opinion, Wang Jing was simply stirring up a hornet's nest.

How noble is the status of the Empress Dowager?
Not to mention that the current General of Cavalry was Dong Zhong, who was from the Hejian Dong family. Wang Jing's actions were undoubtedly a slap in the face of the entire Dong family.

Wang Jing smiled slightly: "Don't worry, brother, I know what I'm doing."

Wang Gai thought Wang Jing had figured it out and he breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Wang Jing turned around and pointed at Zuo Feng and ordered his subordinates: "Come here, tie up this castrated dog for me."

Wang Gai's eyes widened: "!!!"

I was cursing in my heart, you call this knowing the answer! ?
"Second brother, please don't be impulsive. Let's discuss this slowly."

"Brother, just stand aside and watch. I am sure about this matter."

You have a hammer hand!

Wang Gai felt like he was going crazy. It seemed like his unreliable second brother was going to cause trouble again!
Unfortunately, he couldn't stop it at all. Wang Jing directly ordered Wang Ling: "Yanyun, my brother is tired, help him to the side to rest."

Without saying a word, Wang Ling walked up to Wang Gai, pulled him aside, pressed him onto a bed shaped like a folding stool, and asked him to sit down.

This made Wang Gai so angry that he trembled: "Yanyun! Even you are joining in the fun!"

Wang Ling kept his head down and said nothing. Compared to Wang Gai, he trusted his second brother Wang Jing more.

After a while, Zuo Feng was brought in front of Wang Jing with his hands tied.

At this time, he finally panicked a little, but he was used to being domineering. He did not beg for mercy, but still pretended to be tough, cursing and threatening: "Wang Jing, what do you want to do? I came here on the orders of the Empress Dowager. You dare to do this to me? Don't you want to die!"

Wang Jing was waiting for him to say this, and then he sneered and asked, "If you say so, then so? Why should I believe you?"

"The two Yongle Palace guards who came with me can prove what I said!"

Zuo Feng thought that he could scare Wang Jing by bringing up the Empress Dowager's cover, but he didn't expect that this confession was exactly what Wang Jing needed. It was even that Wang Jing deliberately made a big deal out of this matter in front of so many people.

Having achieved the result he wanted, Wang Jing no longer held back. He looked at Yang Ye coldly and said, "Tunqi Cheng, tell me, what is the crime for trespassing into the military camp without permission?"

Yang Ye's face was bitter and he almost cried: "Captain, can I not answer? This matter has nothing to do with me."

Wang Jing ignored Yang Ye's pleas for mercy and made it clear that he wanted to drag the Hongnong Yang family into the water: "Oh, as a cavalry commander, you don't even follow the military law. Do you want to be convicted of the same crime as Zuo Feng?"

Seeing that playing dumb was useless, Yang Ye could only accept his fate and answered truthfully with his head down: "Anyone who trespasses into the military camp shall be executed..."

Wang Jing looked at Zuo Feng and said, "Zuo Huangmen, did you hear that? It's not that Jing is unwilling to forgive you, it's just that military law is ruthless. As the head of a battalion, I can't do anything about it."

After he finished speaking, he raised the Juque sword in his hand and said, "Have a pleasant journey."

"No!"

"You can't kill me!"

"The Empress Dowager will not let you go..."

puff~
Before Zuo Feng could finish his words, Wang Jing's sword flashed, and then a man's head fell to the ground.

The head rolled several times on the ground, and Zuo Feng's unwilling expression was now forever frozen on his sour and sarcastic face.

After chopping the man, Wang Jing slowly wiped the blood off the sword, as if he had just slaughtered a chicken.

Wang Gai almost collapsed to the ground, muttering: "It's over, disaster is near."

Once Zuo Feng died, Yongle Palace would never let it go, because Wang Jing's action was undoubtedly a slap in the face of the Empress Dowager and the General of Cavalry.

Seeing Wang Gai's sad face, Wang Jing smiled and teased, "Brother, are you worried that Dong will cause trouble for me?"

"You knew this and still dared to mess around?"

"Why not? Brother, why do you think I want to kill Zuo Feng?"

Wang Gai was stunned by the question, frowning and thinking: "Are you really not acting on impulse?"

"I have no grudge against Zuo Feng in the past or in the present, so why must I kill him? I just expected that the Dong family would definitely take action, so I made preparations in advance. In fact, no matter who comes today, I will kill them without hesitation."

It is obvious that Wang Jing did this on purpose.

Wang Gai was surprised when he heard this: "What exactly are you going to do?"

Wang Jing sighed: "Brother, your eyesight is not good enough."

"What do you mean?"

"The general and the Empress Dowager are enemies, and both want to kill each other. Now that Jian Shuo is dead, the Empress Dowager has lost her support and is doomed to fail. The general has not taken action yet, but he is just waiting for an excuse. What I have to do is to hand the general a knife that can stab the director in the heart."

Wang Gai was still puzzled: "But what does this have to do with killing Zuo Feng?"

Wang Jing chuckled and said, "I am a cavalry captain appointed by the court. I deal with soldiers according to military law. What right does the Empress Dowager have to interfere? Even if there is to be someone behind the scenes, it should be Empress Dowager He's turn. To put it bluntly, Dong's current identity is actually the queen of a vassal state. She has exceeded her authority and interfered in government affairs, and even intervened in the imperial guards. This is a serious violation of the national law. How could the general and Empress Dowager He let go of this opportunity?" Wang Gai was horrified when he heard this. He had never thought about it in this way before.

Now, after listening to Wang Jing's analysis, the more I think about it, the more I feel that this plan is ruthless.

Some things, if not weighed, are not even a pound, but if weighed, they weigh a thousand pounds!

It was not uncommon for the imperial harem to interfere in government affairs during the Han Dynasty, but the prerequisite was that you had to have the right to do so!
Now that Liu Bian has succeeded to the throne, Empress Dowager He, his biological mother, is meddling in government affairs, and the ministers can barely accept it. So who do you, Dong?
There is no doubt that Wang Jing was creating trouble so that He Jin and Empress Dowager He could attack the Dong family's foreign relatives.

Wang Jing was happy to see the excitement, so he smiled and said to Wang Gai, "I will order people to spread the news in Luoyang City later, so that everyone in the city will know about this. As for the general, please come out in person and explain the pros and cons. I think the general will make the right choice."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it!"

The more Wang Gai listened, the more excited he became. He immediately stood up, said goodbye, and went straight to the general's mansion.

A few days later, just as Wang Jing had expected, He Jin and Queen Mother He took the opportunity to attack Hejian Dong. The two brothers and sisters had long regarded Dong as a thorn in their eyes and wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible.

Now that he had the knife handed over by Wang Jing, he naturally took it immediately and attacked Dong without hesitation.

He Jin, the three ministers, his brother He Miao, the General of Chariots and Cavalry, and others jointly submitted a memorial stating that Empress Dowager Dong had committed two crimes.

One is that Dong instructed the eunuch Zuo Feng to take control of the military affairs of the Northern Army's five battalions. There were many witnesses to this incident and the evidence is solid.

Second, according to past practice, the queen of a vassal state could not remain in the capital. Based on this decree, He Jin requested that Dong be moved back to Hejian State.

He, who was behind the scenes, was secretly delighted and approved the memorial in front of civil and military officials during the morning court session.

The battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came to an end, and ended with the victory of the daughter-in-law, Empress Dowager He.

On the sixth day after removing Dong's title as Empress Dowager, He Jin sent troops to surround Dong Zhong's residence, arrested Dong Zhong, and removed him from his post as General of the Cavalry.

Not long after, Dong Chong died in prison, the cause of death was unknown.

As this political storm swept through, without the support of Dong Zhong and the Empress Dowager, the power of the entire Hejian Dong family in Luoyang City was immediately uprooted, including Tunqi Sima Dong Li.

It was a sunny and windy day.

In a good mood, Wang Jing personally led his troops to surround Dong Li's official residence, and then broke into the house and ransacked it without mercy.

Bang~
The door was quickly broken open, and several Iron Scale Sword Guards led the way in.

Dong Li obviously had no intention of surrendering. He shouted angrily, "Wang Jing, you little thief, you are going too far!"

With a clang, Dong Li swung his sword and a cold light shot out from the scabbard, dazzling and bright.

The long sword in his hand was of high-quality product, well-made and made of fine steel. It could cut hair with a single blow and chop off a person's head as easily as chopping melons or vegetables.

Relying on the high-quality long sword in his hand, Dong Li chopped down two sword guards in a row, and then stabbed at Wang Jing with anger on his face, as if he was going to die together.

The sword move used by Dong Li was exactly the stabbing sword style from "Eight Styles of True Sword".

Wang Jing often practiced with Wang Ling, so he was no stranger to the "Eight Styles of True Sword".

He was standing there with a serious look in his eyes.

Comparing Dong Li's swordsmanship with Wang Ling's in his mind, Wang Jing immediately revealed a look of disdain, and said in a contemptuous tone: "The sword moves are rigid and rigid, there are no linkages, no follow-up moves, and a bad review."

After saying that, he put his fingers together to form a sword, activated the Golden Armor Yuan Gong, gathered the power of Gengjin at his fingertips, and directly broke through Dong Li's sword stance.

After breaking the move, Wang Jing immediately changed his sword finger into a grappling move, leaned forward, grabbed Dong Li's wrist and twisted it lightly.

With a "crack" sound, Dong Li's wrist bone was twisted off, and the sword slipped out of his hand and fell into Wang Jing's palm, becoming Wang Jing's trophy.

"Someone, tie him up for me."

In just a few moments, Dong Li was tied up and forced to kneel in front of Wang Jing.

Wang Jing didn't take Dong Li seriously. He was in a good mood at the moment and was very satisfied with the official residence with pavilions and towers in front of him: "This place is quite grand. Very good. This place will belong to me from now on."

Dong Li, whose family was about to be destroyed, was filled with hatred and angrily yelled at Wang Jing: "Wang Jing, you little thief, you will not die well! You will not die well!"

"You are a loser who sucks the blood of soldiers and eats empty salaries. It is the court that should punish you. How can you blame me? I think you should save your energy. It won't be too late to shout after your whole family is exiled to Jiaozhou."

"I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost!"

Dong Li and his family were soon taken away by soldiers and set off for Jiaozhou.

Jiaozhou at that time was Lingnan south of the Five Ridges.

As for Lingnan, let alone in the Han Dynasty, even in the Song Dynasty hundreds of years later, it was a "land of malaria" that made officials tremble with fear. The death rate was extremely high, and officials who were exiled to Lingnan would often write a suicide note in advance.

It was because Jiaozhou at that time was an area of ​​overlapping mountains, dense forests, blocked transportation, harsh environment, swarms of mosquitoes and flies, rampant insect vectors, and malaria.

People in the court generally regarded the entire Jiaozhou as a "barbaric" land.

As the losing party in the political struggle, the Hejian Dong family was as miserable as they had been in the past. There were many people who were exiled to the frontier, not just Dong Li's family.

"Captain Wang!"

Yang Ye walked all the way to Wang Jing, holding the account book in his hand, and reported to him in a flattering tone: "A total of 22 million coins were confiscated from the illegal gains of former cavalry Sima Dong Li, five shops in the city, a mansion, and valuable calligraphy and paintings and jewelry and jade, worth about 6 million coins."

Wang Jing took the account book, glanced at it, and said in a cold tone: "Oh, are you sure you didn't make a mistake? You must know that this lieutenant hates people who enrich themselves the most. If I catch him, I will skin him and fill his body with straw, and hang his body at the city gate to make an example of him."

After saying those harsh words, Wang Jing looked at Yang Ye with a half-smile.

Yang Ye suddenly felt the pressure, his throat rolling. Not wanting to be the "chicken" that was killed, he could only smile awkwardly: "Ahem, I must have miscalculated. I also found some elixirs and spiritual objects in a dark room. The value is hard to estimate. I obviously missed it. I will make up for it now."

After saying that, he took the account book, sweating profusely, and added a few entries to it.

As Yang Ye was writing with his brush, his heart was in pain, but he couldn't afford to offend the man in front of him.

Soon, the confiscated elixirs and spiritual objects were sent to Wang Jing.

The black pills in the six celadon medicine bottles were actually the Xuanlong Bone Tempering Pills, and there were as many as 112 of them. If converted into money, they would be worth at least 50 million coins!
There are also three pieces of yellow jade with bright luster. Their color is warm and thick, and they feel very heavy in the hand.

Yang Ye was watching from the side with envy, and introduced to Wang Jing flatteringly: "Captain, this spiritual object is called Tulin Jade, which is listed among the eight rare treasures. It is a specialty of Jizhou and is a treasure that cannot be bought with money."

Wang Jing held the Tulin Jade in his hand and indeed felt the rich earth-based Yuan Qi from it. This power was as heavy as the earth and carried all things.

Among the rare treasures, Wang Jing had previously seen the magical effects of the golden silk produced in Bingzhou and the fire elemental beads produced in Yangzhou, but this was the first time he had ever gotten the Tulin Jade, so he was very curious: "What is the magical effect of this thing?"

Wang Jing asked the question and Yang Ye dared not not answer it.

"Reporting to the Captain, the Tulin Jade is thick and solid, and contains a trace of the Qi of the innate Ji Earth. Ji Earth is yin, and is the soil of fields, mountains and gardens, which can grow and nurture all things. The so-called 'Ji' means 'rise' and 'record', meaning that all things rise up and bend, and have a tangible record."

After Yang Ye's explanation, Wang Jing also understood the usage of Tulin Jade.

This thing is a top-quality treasure used to practice earth-based exercises, but more importantly, it can be used as a formation base to arrange an earth storage and carrying formation.

Once this formation is completed, it can gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on its own. The fertile land will become a blessed spiritual land, which can be used to grow all kinds of rare and exotic fruits, or spiritual rice and spiritual medicine, and provide a long-term and stable supply of food rich in Yuan Qi.

"Good stuff!"

Wang Jing quickly put away the Tulin Jade so that he could use it to farm after he occupied the land.

This time, Wang Jing got a lot of money from the house raid. He was so full of grease that he secretly sighed in his heart: "As expected, the most efficient way to make money is to turn other people's money into your own money."

Even with a conservative estimate, the total value of the property Wang Jing seized from Dong Li's home was definitely more than 100 million yuan.

Even treasures like Tulin Jade are strategic materials that cannot be bought with money.

At the same time, Wang Jing took this as a warning: "Dong Yi is such an idiot. He hid hundreds of Black Dragon Bone Refining Pills and didn't use them. He is so stingy that no one else can be like him."
