Chapter 197: Chapter 197-promotion to raging tide city Lord

Translator: 549690339

The world was shocked when Zhang Ye was imprisoned!

After a brief moment of shock, countless memorials to impeachment flew toward the palace like snowflakes.

All of a sudden, Zhang Ji had turned from an important official of the state to a great villain.

More and more crimes piled on his head, simply too numerous to be recorded.

The officials of Nujiang County were the most terrified of all, especially those who had attended Zhang Ji’s farewell banquet.

He was simply in a constant state of anxiety.

Those who had once called Zhang Ji their Lord were completely out of their minds. They wanted nothing more than to slit their own throats and commit suicide so that they wouldn’t have to suffer from this endless fear.

There were rumors spreading every day.

They said that Zhang Ye was going to be beheaded.

There were also rumors that Zhang Yan had committed suicide in prison.

Some people even said that Zhang Ji had provided a long list of all the officials in his corruption group.

Not long after, the black water station would come to catch him.

Immediately, these officials were so scared that they almost peed their pants.

One of the scribes who specialized in serving Zhang Ji couldn’t bear the immense pressure and hung himself.

This was because he was the first one to call her ‘Lord’.

The death of this scribe was like a catalyst, causing the officials of Nujiang County to expose Zhang Ji’s crimes.

Those who were qualified to submit a memorial would do so, and those who were not would submit their official documents to the Imperial Censorate.

This time, people finally saw what it meant to be pushed down by everyone and stepped on by everyone when they were down.

Liu Wuyan, the city Lord of Xuanwu city, also wrote a Memorial to report Zhang Ji. However, after hesitating for a long time, he still didn’t submit it.

It was not because he was smart, nor because he was loyal to Zhang Ji.

It was because he was more involved in the conflict between the Jin family and Zhang Jing, so he had a clearer view of it.

There were more and more memorials impeaching Zhang Ji in the country, and in the end, it was simply not enough to appease the public anger without killing him.

However, these memorials ultimately sank like mud into the ocean.

Until one day, an official’s impeachment Memorial broke this situation.

One of the official Registrar of the governor’s manor of Nujiang city had written a letter in blood.

He bit his finger and wrote the impeachment.

It was truly touching. Not only did he expose Zhang Ji’s evil crimes, but he also reflected on why he didn’t expose them earlier. Instead, he pretended to be a snake and became an accomplice to Zhang Ji’s preying on the people.

Not only that, but he also took the initiative to hand over the two hundred and thirty-five gold coins.

At the end of the memorial, he even asked the Emperor to sentence Zhang che to death, to bring justice to the hundreds of thousands of people in Nujiang County.

Of course, these hundreds of thousands of Nujiang County citizens were very confused.

Why? Is this any of our business?

When the memorial was sent out, many officials were amazed.

As expected, there are always outstanding people. You’re really good at acting.

Then, everyone quietly waited for the results to see if this outstanding official would succeed.

In the end, he succeeded.

The monarch had a reaction.

Not only did you expose Zhang Ji, but you also exposed yourself. You even took the initiative to hand over the dirty money.

Since you’ve already told me, how can I disappoint your good intentions?

A few days later, the Knights of the Blackwater tower entered Nujiang County and took away the outstanding official Registrar.

Less than three days after entering the prison of the court of judicial review, this outstanding official committed suicide.

She had committed suicide by cutting her wrist.

The blood that was shed this time was enough to write a blood letter with millions of words.

As a result, all the officials in the world were jittery.

All the memorials impeaching Zhang Ji had stopped.

It was as if nothing had happened, as if this person had never existed.

…………

Time flowed like water, time flew by.

The king’s decree regarding the raging tide city still hadn’t been passed down, as if he had completely forgotten about this matter.

One day, uncle Black Tortoise, Jin Zhuo, returned from raging tide city and met Shen lang alone. He told him something very important.

“Lang ‘er, why don’t we hold a wedding for you and Mulan?”

Shen lang was hitting his back when he heard that. “A make-up wedding? no, no!”

Earl Jin Zhuo said, ” it’s like this. After all, the reputation of a live-in son-in-law is not good. So, I want to change it a little. Let Mulan marry into your Shen family. You will invite all the guests and get married at your house.

Of course, uncle Black Tortoise had good intentions.

Even if Shen lang did not mind, he was worried that Shen Wan would mind.

“Don’t, don’t.” father-in-law, ” Shen lang said, ” I’m very happy being a live-in son-in-law. Please don’t make me a full-time husband.

Ugh!

The Earl of Xuanwu was speechless.

W-what was wrong with her?

In some dynasties in ancient China, it was a crime to marry into a family, and some were even directly sent to the Army.

There was no such rule in the Great Yan Dynasty, and even live-in son-in-law could take the imperial examination.

However, before they could become a middle Jinshi, the female family would be very tactful and terminate this unequal marriage relationship, and officially marry their daughter into the man’s family.

After all, son-in-law was still looked down upon by others. If he really became a Jinshi, the Imperial court would also lose face.

Shen lang said, ” one, I don’t want to be an official. The identity of a live-in son-in-law is my protection. Second, any enemy will inevitably look down on me when they hear about my status as a live-in son-in-law. The more they look down on me, the better.”

You call this a reason?

The Earl of Xuanwu tried to persuade him again and again, but Shen lang was still unwilling to give up his status as a live-in son-in-law.

He had no choice but to go to Shen Lang’s house and apologize to his parents.

Then, he rushed back to raging tide city.

Because the current raging tide city was the core of the Jin family’s life.

After Earl Jin Zhuo took over the city, he was extremely busy.

………………

The days continued to pass.

The Jin family started to move the people on a large scale to Leizhou Island.

Because the taxes of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu were too low and the Earl of Jin Zhuo loved his people like his own children, many refugees would enter the fief of the Jin clan every year.

There were 100000 people living in this fief, which was more than 1000 square kilometers. It was overcrowded.

Fortunately, they were only planting mulberry trees and raising silkworms to earn money. If they were to just grow grain, the fields on their fief would not be able to support 100000 people.

Hence, they had moved 20000 people to Leizhou Island.

That Island was a full 5000 square kilometers, and the arable land was more than twice the size of the original fief.

It turned out that when Qiu Tianwei ruled Leizhou Island, this large piece of land was almost deserted.

Pirates didn’t know how to farm, and they didn’t like to farm.

However, 20,000 people heading to Leizhou Island to cultivate land was like a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood.

At this time, the heavenly society’s role showed itself. They continuously transported war refugees from all directions and became the new citizens of the Jin family.

This kind of immigration required money, and the amount of money required was astronomical.

After all, you can’t just ask these people to move their entire families to Leizhou Island.

As such, they had to pay for settling down and build houses. The tens of thousands of people had to pay hundreds of thousands of gold coins.

This money was borrowed by the heavenly Dao, and there was no interest, nor was there a time limit for repayment.

Huang Tong was originally a fat man, but after running around for so long, he had become a skinny man.

Shen lang thought that he would be more handsome if he slimmed down.

But he didn’t expect it to be even uglier.

AI!

Huang Tong’s fantasy was shattered.

He had always thought that he was not handsome because he was too fat, but that was not the case.

In short, the construction of the entire Leizhou Island and raging tide city was in full swing.

If he wanted to see results, it would probably take about two to three years.

After the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu obtained raging tide city, not only did they not make a fortune, but they also owed a huge debt of nearly two million gold coins.

Some people said that you took down Qiu Tianwei’s city Lord Mansion, don’t you have money?

Weren’t Pirates the richest?

Didn’t he hide any gold?

There was indeed one!

After taking down raging tide city, the first thing Shen lang did was to open the Treasury.

In the end, there were only 300000 gold coins inside.

Shen lang knew that Qiu Tianwei had spent a huge sum of gold coins as the starting fee before the battle.

However, the Pirate King did not have so little money.

Shen lang felt that Qiu Tianwei definitely had other treasure troves.

In the end, an Zaitian told him that he did not!

Chou Tianwei really only had this much money.

This was because he had to feed more than 10000 Pirates, and this castle was simply a bottomless pit. All the money he had earned over the years had been invested into this Castle.

Shen lang was confused. There was trade everywhere in raging tide city, and there was money everywhere. He would be rich if he collected taxes.

But after checking his background, he found out.

Qiu Tianwei could share a portion of all the businesses in raging tide city, but he didn’t have the right to control them.

All the control was in the hands of the yinyuan Association.

Gazing Cliff Island was completely abandoned.

This was because the entire mine was filled with seawater and countless corpses.

After more than half a month of cleaning up, all the corpses were fished up and then completely buried in a large pit.

However, the seawater in the mine could not be discharged. They could only wait for it to evaporate and dry up. Who knew how long that would take?

Fortunately, they had already obtained Gold Mountain Island.

The quality of the iron ores there was much higher, and all the smelting workshops in the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu had been moved there.

………………

Xu Wanwan returned home and began her difficult journey of starting a new business.

It could be said that she had nothing now.

They had no money, no workshops, and even all their shops had been forcibly sold to pay off their debts.

Even more than half of the Xu family’s mansion was burned down, and all the servants had run away.

Hence, she came to the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu once again.

However, he was not meeting Shen lang, but Jin Mulan.

His goal was simple-to borrow money!

To be honest, the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu was even poorer than her.

She had no money left.

However, the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu was in debt of nearly two million gold coins.

Of course, the mirrors of the heavenly Dao Association had already started to be sold.

However, it was still in the stage of promotion. Every mirror was a super luxury item and was being auctioned.

In order to show off, the price was simply raised to the sky.

However, no matter how much money they made, the Jin family could only make money from selling glass.

This was actually a lot of money, but there were even more areas to spend it on. Whether it was training soldiers, maintaining sea routes, or immigration, they were all bottomless pits.

However, Jin Mulan still lent the money to Xu Qianqian.

Fifty thousand gold coins!

………………

The emperor’s decree had yet to come, and Zhang Ji was still in the prison of the court of judicial review.

It was as if the king had forgotten about raging tide city.

However, if his decree wasn’t passed down, then the Jin family wouldn’t be able to rule over raging tide city.

He was just short of this final shiver.

Even someone like uncle Xuanwu, who wanted to take revenge, could not hold it in anymore. He went home and asked Shen lang again.

The Wu state’s emissaries had come in more than a dozen waves.

The price that was shouted out was higher and higher.

“Their latest offer is to send troops to help us destroy Qiu Wu and help us take down the entire Leizhou archipelago.” Uncle Black Tortoise said,”the condition is that we lead Leizhou archipelago to rebel against the Yue country, and the King of Wu country agrees to confer me the title of Marquis Black Tortoise.”

Of course, uncle Black Tortoise didn’t have any intention of betraying the Yue country when he said those words.

He only asked Shen lang if he was going to spread the news.

Should he reveal that the Jin family was negotiating with the Wu State to make ning yuanxian nervous?

“No, don’t.” Shen lang said, ” this is almost the last move. Unless you have no other choice, you must not use it.

Once the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu revealed this news, they would be suspected of treason.

Jin Zhuo said,”what does the king mean?” It’s been dragged on for almost two months.”

Shen lang said,”one, he is waiting for the war situation in the South.” Two, he’s waiting for our reaction.”

…………

Two days later!

The capital, which had been silent for a long time, had an extremely shocking news.

After two months of trial, the original count of Jinhai was convicted of treason.

There were more than seven hundred people in the Tang Clan. Three hundred and fifty-eight of them were beheaded in public, and three hundred and eighty-five were banished to become slaves.

The original Jin Earl of the sea, Tang Lun, was cut in half at the waist!

At the capital’s execution ground, blood flowed like a river, and heads rolled.

The commoners who were watching the execution were still excited at the beginning, but they vomited and had nightmares at night.

The monarch’s butcher’s knife made everyone’s fear dissipate.

After that!

Finally, a decree came to the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu.

However, it was not an edict to confer the title of Marquis of Black Tortoise, nor was it an edict to confer the title of raging tide city to the Jin family.

Leizhou archipelago will be divided into Nujiang County, establishing raging tide city and Tianfeng city. Jin Shiying will be the Lord of raging tide city!

In all the edicts that the king gave to the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu, there was no such thing.

This time, the edict to confer Jin Shiying’s title had brought this along.

In addition, there was also a decree to head to the Tianfeng Island, conferring Qiu Wu the title of Tianfeng City Master.

This decree stunned the Earl of Xuanwu, Jin Zhuo.

Then, he was furious!

What is the meaning of this, King?

Jin Shiying is clearly my henchman, and you actually overstepped your authority and conferred him the title of raging tide city Lord?

Wasn’t this a plan to sow discord? Of course, doing so would definitely break the rules. However, since the entire Great Yan Dynasty was undergoing a new administration, such rules had long been broken by the Emperor.

After receiving this decree, Jin Shiying hurriedly returned to the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu and swore to the heavens that he would never accept the decree and would never take the position of the raging tide city Lord. He could commit suicide to prove his innocence.

Of course, uncle Black Tortoise would not allow Jin Shiying to commit suicide.

There were two paths in front of him.

To obey or to resist the decree!

In the end, uncle Black Tortoise chose to accept the decree.

That was because Shen lang nodded.

As a result, the Furious tide city and the Tianfeng city officially became the territory of the State of Yue and became two cities under the jurisdiction of the Nujiang County.

Jin Shiying was directly promoted from the private army of the palace of the Earl to the master of the angry tide city.

That night, Jin Shiying knelt in front of Shen lang.

I, Jin Shiying, am an orphan. I grew up in the Jin family since I was young, and I have completely regarded uncle Xuanwu as my father.

I really love Mulan, and because of that, I haven’t gotten married yet.

“I’m not happy that Guye managed to marry miss Mulan, and I even have complaints in my heart.”

but my loyalty to the Jin family can be seen by the heavens and the earth!

“From now on, I will follow Guye’s lead. Count Xuanwu is my Lord, and you and Prince Jin mucong are my young masters.”

“Jin Shiying greets the young master.”

“In the future, no matter what orders the young master has, Jin Shiying will go through water and tread on fire. Even if he dies, he will not even frown.”

“If I go against this promise, I shall use this sword.”

Jin Shiying snapped the sword in his hand and blood gushed out from his palm.

………………

After the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu received the decree and made Jin Shiying the raging tide city Lord, they quietly waited for the monarch’s reaction.

You should have given raging tide city to my Jin family by now, and you should have been promoted to Earl Jin Zhuo by now.

Shen lang smelled the fragrance of his wife’s hair and said gently, ” “I really can’t bear to leave my baby.”

Mulan was stunned. She then got up and said, ” “You want to leave me? Impossible, you can’t.”

“If I’m not wrong, I will be entering the capital soon,” Shen lang said.

The next day!

The emperor’s decree came to the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu once again.

summon Shen lang to the capital to meet the king. Immediately!
