Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?
Chapter 297 Getting rich
Ning Zhiwei looked at him coldly, "Li Ji was planning a rebellion, but I discovered and stopped him in time and killed him on the spot."
General Qian's lips were trembling and he tried to retreat desperately, but his way back was blocked.
He was extremely angry and shouted, "Ning Zhiwei, you have lost all conscience. You are greedy for merit and framed loyal officials. God will not let you go."
Guard Anan's voice rang out from outside, "Report."
"Come in."
Anan walked into the flower hall, holding an extremely exquisite dress in his hands.
"Commander-in-chief, we found a dragon robe."
Searching the warehouse for silver was just an excuse; the real purpose was to find evidence of illegality.
Everybody was fooled.
As soon as the dragon robe came out, everyone present changed their expressions and the soldiers were terrified.
Magistrate Li really wants to rebel and has evil ambitions.
Once he starts a rebellion, everyone will be drawn into it, and will involuntarily become cannon fodder in the war and serve as a stepping stone for the Li family's wealth and glory.
When the dragon robe came out, everyone was speechless. Magistrate Li deserved to die and no one felt sorry for him.
"Put away the dragon robe and send it to the capital someday for His Majesty to appreciate."
General Qian thought she was too wicked. Not only did she kill Magistrate Li, but she was also unwilling to spare his posthumous reputation and wanted to kill him completely.
This is a serious crime that will destroy the Nine Clans.
Ning Zhiwei raised his chin and said, "Investigate Li Ji's gang and don't let any of them go."
As a relative of Magistrate Li, General Qian was naturally the first to be arrested.
"Yes."
"Order Xiao Linfeng to take over the West Mountain garrison and the city's garrison."
When these two armies took over, there was no armed force.
"Order, Zhou Hongye will take over the daily affairs of the government office."
"Yes."
Ning Zhiwei was stationed in Qincheng, in charge of all affairs. As orders were issued one after another, the entire Qincheng was put into action.
Heaven has changed.
She searched everywhere and found 2.3 million taels of silver, 100,000 taels of gold, ten coral trees, more than 10,000 pieces of valuable furniture, more than 20,000 pieces of gold, jade, red and jade jewelry, and countless silks, satins, furs, with an estimated value of 20 million taels.
There are eight pawnshops, twelve silver banks, and five antique shops, and these alone are worth 10 million taels.
Ning Zhiwei was laughing so hard that she was numb. She had made a fortune!
She also took control of the government office, official treasury, and granary at the first opportunity.
There are eighteen granaries, all filled with grain and fodder, and the official warehouse is filled with weapons. This is preparation for the uprising.
Ning Zhiwei couldn't help but laugh, he was indeed the rebel king who was most capable of making money.
However, now it’s all Ning Zhiwei’s turn.
Everything Li Ji did was to help her.
She also raided the homes of several corrupt officials and illegal businessmen.
Copy one every day and feel as happy as a god.
The gold, silver and jewels that were seized piled up like mountains, and the treasures were innumerable, which made her extremely happy.
She also asked Zhou Hongye to issue a notice that every family could get two dou of grain with their household registration, and the army would pay them five taels of silver and a winter coat per person.
For a moment, people inside and outside the city were celebrating wildly.
The people were very happy. Although it was coarse grain, it could be eaten for a while.
This is an unprecedented good thing. Has the prefect changed his character?
After further inquiries, they found out that it was the order from Princess Jingning. The people were delighted. Ah, only Princess Jingning would care about the people and treat them as human beings.
Unlike those corrupt officials who only knew how to exploit the people, the only thing missing was to write Li Ji's name on the city wall.
The soldiers in the army were so happy that it was like New Year's Day. Two taels of silver was a year's salary, which not only made up for the previous amount, but also added more.
Everyone also had a winter coat. After Ergou put it on, he immediately felt warm all over and was no longer afraid of the cold.
He was delighted. "What kind of clothes is this? Why is it so warm?"
The Ning family army showed off proudly, "This is our northwest specialty, a cotton-padded jacket, one piece can be worth ten pieces, very warm. The commander just made it and gave it all to the brothers in the army. You are lucky, you caught up with a good time."
Everyone was so happy that they couldn't stop smiling and were no longer afraid of the cold.
"If we had known that we would have such good treatment, we would have cried and begged the Ning family army to come and rescue us."
"Hahaha, as long as you listen to the coach, you will have a good time in the future."
It was precisely because of these things that the army was disbanded and reorganized, and no one raised any objections.
Zhou Hongye was busy with city construction, repairing city walls, roads, bridges, and water conservancy projects. Qincheng was visibly improving.
In the capital, the new emperor waited anxiously, asking every once in a while, "Have the Northwest Army arrived?"
The Northwest Army, which he once feared, became his last hope.
He hoped that the Ning family army could save him from danger and help him pacify the world.
Not long ago, the rebels attacked the capital, and he was ready to escape. At the critical moment, the General of the Western Expedition returned with his troops, and the imperial guards fought desperately. In this way, they were attacked from both sides, caught the rebels off guard, and forced them to flee in embarrassment.
The new emperor barely managed to keep the throne, but was sidelined by the General of the Western Expedition, who used the emperor to control the princes.
Now, he can only hope that Ning Zhiwei will come to rescue him.
Jiu Qiansui was also very anxious, "Not yet."
The new emperor calculated the date and it should be coming soon. Ning Zhiwei had clearly promised that she would not break her promise. "What's going on?"
The important ministers looked at each other in bewilderment, remaining extremely quiet and trying their best to reduce their presence.
"Report, Commander Ning's memorial."
The new emperor was shocked and said, "Bring it here quickly."
After reading the memorial, the new emperor was furious and roared, "Li Ji, I will cut you into pieces." He was so angry that he forgot to call himself "I".
Recently, his temper has been unpredictable and he has been extremely irritable. He has been chopping people until they are numb. The eunuchs and palace maids around him have been replaced one after another.
Jiu Qiansui couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
The new emperor's face turned red with anger. "He actually refused to open the city gates to let the Northwest Army pass through."
The ministers suspected that there was something wrong with their ears. "What's the reason?"
The new emperor threw an angry memorial at him, "He wants to collect tolls."
Everyone was confused. What the hell? Toll? Was he a bandit?
The Minister of War frowned and said, "Then give it to me. Don't let a small amount of money ruin important matters for the court."
The new emperor sneered, "One hundred taels per person, she brought 30,000 people, she can't afford that much money."
My goodness, this is not just a small amount of money. Li Ji is so greedy that he is really obsessed with money.
"It's so abominable. I'm going to chop off his head."
The Prime Minister said cautiously, "Your Majesty, please calm down. This is just her personal opinion."
This really irritated the new emperor, who flew into a rage, "You almost forgot that Li Ji is your son-in-law. Come, drag the Prime Minister down and give him fifty lashes, confiscate his property and exterminate his clan."
He is almost dead, so those of them who are holding back and wavering on the fence can't expect to have an easy life.
The Prime Minister was dragged out by the guards, looking embarrassed, shocked and angry, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have a friendship with the General of the Western Expedition. Without him, you can't kill me!"
The emperor was furious. At this moment, a eunuch came in and reported, "Your Majesty, the General of the Western Expedition has entered the harem again and went directly to the Queen's palace."
The General who Conquers the West was so proud of his achievements that he acted recklessly and committed adultery in all the harems, visiting whichever palace he wanted.
The new emperor felt dizzy before his eyes and fainted from anger.
The capital city is in a bloody turmoil, with various forces taking turns to perform.
In Qincheng, Ning Zhiwei was busy organizing the army and winning the hearts of the people.
That day, she was patrolling the city gate.
A huge group of people arrived at the city gate, and the family emblem on the carriage attracted Ning Zhiwei's attention.
Looks so familiar, this is... him!
