If I add money to become a layman, I can cultivate immortality

Chapter 46 Wait, you want to be the emperor?

Two days later, the appointment letter from the imperial court was issued.

Shen Lian was promoted to Beizhen Fusi Qianhu, the fifth rank.

Speaking of which, he used to be a member of Baihu, and his qualifications were enough for promotion. This time, he finally caught up with good things.

Ding Xiu was promoted to the sixth rank of Fusi Baihu in Beizhen.

His promotion made countless people envious, jealous, and hate him. After all, he had only joined Jinyiwei for a short period of time, less than a year.

As a result, the small flags, the general flag, and the hundreds of households were raised into the sky like two kicks.

But emotions are emotions, but no one dares to say anything.

After all, the credit was there, and the fact that Ding Xiu and Shen Lian were admitted to the palace had somehow spread. The ministers in the court knew that their promotions were the result of the emperor's orders.

However, the positions of Jinyiwei's Thousand Households and Hundred Households are limited. There is a carrot in a pit. If someone comes up, someone will naturally get out.

Xuanbeifang.

Outside a house, Ding Xiu, dressed in a silver-white flying fish suit, majestically rode on horseback and shouted: "Surround us!"

"Yes!"

A group of men quickly dispersed and surrounded the small courtyard.

After Li Chengxiu and others were captured and returned to prison, many people were killed, covering a wide range of areas. In addition to some eunuchs, there were also people from Dongchang and Jinyiwei, as well as people from Donglin Party who were bribed by him.

The person we want to arrest today is Qian Hu, a member of the Imperial Guard who has just been dismissed.

"Luo Dajun, I know you are hiding at home. If you don't want to kill everyone, you'd better come out and arrest them without mercy."

After a while, the courtyard door was still closed, and a faint cry could be heard coming from the courtyard.

Ding Xiu waved his hand and ordered again: "Everyone listens to the order and rush in to get the person. Anyone who resists will be killed on the spot!"

"Don't break the door, I'll come out by myself!"

Finally, Luo Dajun's desperate voice came from inside.

He originally wanted to escape, but all the city gates were heavily guarded, and there was no chance of escape.

And he also knew very well that even if he could escape by chance, his family would have to suffer for him. He would be killed if he should be killed, exiled if he should be, and sent to the Jiaofang Division if he should be.

Therefore, his best way out is to bear all the sins alone, tell everything he knows, and try his best to protect his family from suffering.

In the next few days, the whole capital was restless and turbulent.

More than 20 people including Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and ministers of the DPRK and China were arrested one after another.

In addition, various shops are also conducting large-scale searches. Once suspicious persons are found, they are immediately arrested. Nearly 300 people were arrested in just a few days.

For a time, the prison was overcrowded.

evening.

Mingzhaofang, in a small courtyard.

Ding Baiying sat at the stone table with her cheek in hand, looking unhappy.

She hadn't gone out for several days. The streets were full of officers and soldiers, who would approach and question almost anyone they saw. It was not a good time to go out at this time.

In fact, even if the gate is closed, officers and soldiers will go door to door to search, and if they encounter anyone who does not open the door, they will directly open it.

But there are exceptions, such as Ding Xiu's small courtyard.

He was one of the main persons in charge of this arrest operation. Who was so full that he didn't have the eyesight to search his house?
Of course, even if someone does break into the courtyard, Ding Baiying will avoid it if she can. If she can't avoid it, she will say that it is Ding Xiu's senior sister. She has already prepared the road guide and so on.

When it was dark, Ding Xiu returned to the courtyard carrying a bottle of wine and two bags of cooked food.

"Master, haven't you eaten?"

Ding Baiying said angrily: "Where to eat? You can't even get out." Ding Xiu smiled, walked to the table and put the wine and cooked food on the table: "It's okay, I bought you something delicious."

"no appetite."

"You have to eat even if you don't have an appetite. The disciple will feel bad if he is starved. The moonlight is just right tonight, and our husband...well, the master and the disciple just happen to have a few drinks together."

"Humph!"

Ding Baiying snorted.

Ding Xiu went into the room and took the wine glass, then poured two glasses of wine with a smile: "Master, come here, disciple, have a drink. Thank you for secretly helping the disciple find many clues."

Upon hearing this, Ding Baiying couldn't help but said: "Don't be so playful. I feel that you are enjoying it now and are focused on climbing up. I'm afraid you have forgotten how your uncle Lu died unjustly."

"How can we forget? The disciples climbed up just to make things easier in the future. In a few days, I will go to Jinzhong secretly, and I will probably stay there for a long time."

Ding Baiying was stunned: "Jinzhong? Are you going to investigate Tian Jinshan?"

"Yes! But it's not just about checking him. This time, we must pull out the carrots and bring them out of the mud, and catch all the profiteers who secretly colluded with the Jurchens.

Master, you should know how astonishing their wealth is. If a disciple can just get a little bit, it will be enough to accomplish anything. "

Hearing this, Ding Baiying couldn't help frowning and asked in a low voice: "Are you determined to rebel? You have to think clearly that this matter is not trivial. Once you take the first step, you can never look back."

Ding Xiu smiled: "Disciple has no intention of turning back. Of course, this requires Master's support."

Ding Baiying sighed: "I can find some people, but I estimate there are only a few thousand at most. How can we fight against the imperial army?"

"No, no, no, Master, please don't join the team at the beginning and attract the attention of the court."

Ding Baiying looked confused: "If you don't pull up the team? How can you gather people?"

Ding Xiu had planned this for a long time and explained: "It's very simple, in the name of forming a gang. I remember there are several big gangs along the coast, such as the Sea Whale Gang, which is said to have tens of thousands of gang members.

We can also follow suit and spend some money to open up connections with the government and let them turn a blind eye.

After that, we secretly built up a team in the name of recruiting disciples. On the surface, we were running businesses, shipping, freight, and escort agencies.

In this way, you can hide the truth and earn a lot of money at the same time, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone. "

Hearing these words, Ding Baiying couldn't help but look surprised: "Yes, this is indeed a good idea...but how did you come up with it?"

Ding Xiu smiled without saying anything and nodded his forehead.

"Hmph, what do you mean? Are you mocking Master?"

"No, no, no..." Ding Xiu smiled and waved his hand: "Master is just a fan of the authorities. He didn't think of it for a while."

Ding Baiying said angrily: "Stop flattering me, please explain your plan in detail, for example, how to get the money in the palace."

"I've already thought about this. Is there anyone under Master who you can trust?"

"Of course there are. I brought them out all by myself back then. There are a few lurking in the capital and a few in the suburbs."

"Well, I'll find a way to let them replace the work of pulling the water tanker, and then place two servants in the palace to help transport the money out bit by bit."

"This is a good idea!" Ding Baiying nodded with relief.

"But Master, the person we are looking for must be reliable, otherwise our efforts will be wasted."

"Don't worry, even if my men die in battle, none of them will betray you."

"That's settled then."

Ding Xiu picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

Ding Baiying also picked up the wine glass, and as soon as it touched her lips, a flash of light suddenly flashed in her mind, and she couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Wait a minute, you want to be the emperor?"
