The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding

"If I kill you, won't your money be mine?"

Ye Feng looked indifferent, with the corner of his mouth raised.

Ye Feng hates corrupt officials like Liu Kun.

"No... please, don't kill me... I was the one who let you leave Yunhai Port that day..." Liu Kun knelt on the ground, his face full of pleading.

The first thing he should have done after receiving the news of the war was to cross the river and leave. If he had not returned to the mansion to get the gold, silver and jewelry, he would have escaped long ago and would not have been caught by Ye Feng. He was so regretful in his heart.

Over the years since he took office as the warlord of Yunhai Port, he had embezzled so much gold, silver and jewelry, but he was reluctant to spend even a penny of it. Was he going to die before he had time to enjoy it? He felt a little unwilling.

"kill!"

Ye Feng gave an order.

Several soldiers killed Liu Kun.

"open to take a look."

Ye Feng saw the boxes that Liu Kun was carrying and gave the order.

Hua Hua Hua...

As the boxes were opened, there were bursts of rustling sounds, and the boxes were filled with gold, silver and jewelry, scattered on the ground. There were at least five or six boxes on the scene.

"so much?"

Even Lady Xinling couldn't help but be surprised.

It seems that Liu Kun's ability to make money is really strong.

Ye Feng took a step forward and walked into Liu Kun's governor's mansion. There were dozens of boxes placed inside. How much of the people's money had Liu Kun extorted?

"Master Ye, how could a small commander-in-chief of Yunhai Port embezzle so much silver?" Lady Xinling was also shocked by the amount of money Liu Kun embezzled.

Ye Feng took a deep breath. He was not surprised. Yunhai Port was a must-pass place for the Wei Dynasty and the Song Dynasty. It must be a lucrative job.

These small officials may seem to have very little power in their hands, but in fact, for the people of both countries, they are the ones who control the right to speak. They are the most typical example of small officials with great corruption.

Many people from the two countries who wanted to communicate with each other had to go through Liu Kun's plunder. Even if each person got one or two taels of silver, with so many people, the accumulated amount would be a mountain of gold and silver.

This is what the ancients said, "Three years as a county magistrate, one hundred thousand silver coins."

"Count the amount and report all the money to the Minister of Revenue Hai Ming." Ye Feng instructed Madam Xinling, "For the soldiers killed or injured in this battle, each person will receive an additional 20 taels of silver as compensation."

"I am here to take the place of the dead soldiers. Thank you, Lord Zhenguo."

Upon hearing this, Madam Xinling looked determined and bowed to Ye Feng.

There was admiration in the depths of his eyes.

Liu Kun was killed and hundreds of taels of silver were seized.

Ye Feng was not thinking about himself, but was still thinking about the soldiers who died in the battle. Such behavior is admirable.

"They followed me to fight and sacrifice, so I must not let them feel disheartened. This is what I should do." Ye Feng stretched out his hand and supported Madam Xinling.

"Add more manpower to speed up the inventory."

Ye Feng saw a dozen soldiers and counted them very slowly, then spoke to Madam Xinling.

"As ordered."

Madam Xinling arranged for dozens of people to be added to the list, and it took several hours to finally clear all the silver and money. The rest of the finances had not yet been counted.

"Guess how much silver was seized in total?"

Madam Xinling came to Ye Feng with the account book, a smile on her face.

The treasury of the Song Dynasty has been empty in recent years.

If we could get this additional money, the situation would improve a lot.

"Five million taels?"

Ye Feng asked Madam Xinling.

"More than 8.97 million taels of silver, 74,321 taels of gold. If we add other treasures, we have seized more than 10 million taels of silver from General Liu Kun this time."

Over the years, the four great princes of the Song Dynasty have been divided, and corrupt officials are rampant, resulting in very little tax revenue being collected. It is considered good if we can collect half of it.

Lady Xinling's voice trembled a little. It was the first time she saw so much silver and money. She couldn't contain her excitement. This amount of silver and money was almost three years' tax revenue of the Song Dynasty.

She thought that Ye Feng's expression would change slightly when he heard it.

But he didn't expect Ye Feng to look indifferent and didn't care about the money at all.

"Return to Dongyun City."

Leaving nearly a hundred people to guard the Governor's Mansion, Ye Feng took Madam Xinling and the rest of the soldiers and headed towards Dongyun City, presumably the place had been almost cleaned up.

"Greetings to the master (Zhen Guojun)!"

Ye Feng and Madam Xinling arrived at the City Lord's Mansion of Dongyun City. Li Shanxiao, Lao Xu and others came to greet them one after another, especially Lao Xu and others, whose faces were filled with smiles.

During these years of the Song Dynasty, it was good enough that other countries did not invade and occupy the territory. They never thought that they would be able to seize the cities of other countries. If they had not met Ye Feng, they really felt like they were dreaming.

"Zhang Ting, I will leave you two thousand cavalrymen to guard Dongyun City."

Ye Feng ordered the captain Zhang Ting.

"Your Majesty, I will guard Dongyun City without hesitation, but I cannot manage the rest... as for the management, financial accounting, and taking in prisoners..."

Although Zhang Ting really wanted to follow Ye Feng to the battlefield, he had no objection to staying behind to guard Dongyun City. It was just that he had been in the army for many years and, as a rough man, he was in no position to take care of a city.

"Hahahaha..." The other soldiers couldn't help laughing when they heard Zhang Ting's words, especially Duan Peng and Lao Xu and other captains, who were laughing so hard that they fell backwards.

“Haha…don’t worry!”

Ye Feng laughed when he heard this. He naturally knew that Zhang Ting and other captains had followed Lady Xinling in battles for many years and had long been accustomed to military life. It would be extremely difficult to ask them to govern the city.

"You just need to defend Dongyun City for a few days. After we capture the Eighteen Cities of Yanyun, Chang Sun Ji will arrive, and then you can leave everything to him." Ye Feng already had plans for the Eighteen Cities of Yanyun, and it was impossible for him to leave such an important place to a general like Zhang Ting.

With Chang Sun Ji's ability, as long as he can completely control the Eighteen Cities of Yanyun and Dongyun City, within three years, the Eighteen Cities of Yanyun and Dongyun City will be connected into one, creating a strong army, a prosperous people and a strong country, which will surely present a prosperous scene.

"That's good!"

After hearing this, Zhang Ting finally felt relieved.

He didn't want to be a county magistrate, a garrison commander, or a county official; he just wanted to fight on the battlefield.

"There are dozens of warships moored at Yunhai Harbor. We can use those warships to cross the river from Yunhai Harbor to the other side. The speed should be much faster than the Dahe Bridge."

At Ye Feng's command, Li Shanxiao and Lady Xinling, with their respective cavalry, followed Ye Feng towards Yunhai Port.

……

The capital of Wei.

"Report! Report! Report! Urgent news from eight hundred miles away!"

Lin Xiaoxiang sat on the dragon throne, high above, wearing a dragon robe, with a gloomy face. Seven days had passed since Ye Feng recaptured Linjiang City.

She asked every day how to retake Linjiang City. However, all the civil and military officials in the huge court remained silent and no one had any strategy.

This made her feel really angry. The Wei Dynasty was vast, rich and powerful. Could it not deal with Ye Feng?

At this moment, an urgent report from eight hundred miles away was heard outside the court.

Only urgent reports of military emergencies from the front line could reach the court unimpeded.

"Quick pass!"

When Lin Xiaoxiang heard this, she didn't know why her heart skipped a beat. She didn't issue any orders, so where did the urgent military intelligence come from?

Pfft!

The spy who had brought the urgent report from 800 miles away entered the court, knelt on the ground, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Dongyun City that Ye Feng led tens of thousands of powerful cavalry to attack, and the city is in imminent danger."

"What? Tens of thousands of cavalry? Where did tens of thousands of cavalry come from?"

Lin Xiaoxiang stood up suddenly, his face was ferocious, his voice became trembling, almost like a roar, he felt like his whole head exploded, he was completely dazed, his mind kept echoing Ye Feng's bold words about unifying Kyushu that day.
