Dream of the Red Chamber: After being exiled, I went on a killing spree in Liaodong.

"take away!"

At the order of the guards, the crowd was led away like sheep.

"Go and call Niu Dahao here."

Jia Yi stood still.

He wouldn't do the dirty and tiring work of ransacking homes himself, but someone else had to be ruthless for him.

A moment later, Niu Dahao came running over.

"Your Highness, you wanted to see me?"

"You personally lead the men and ransack all the prominent families in Guangdong and Guangxi."

Jia Yi spoke in a calm tone, as if he were merely instructing someone to sweep the yard.

"what?"

"Really plagiarized? Just like that?"

Niu Dahao stared blankly, dumbfounded.

Isn't it a bit too much to dig up someone's secrets for no reason?

"Um."

"Which of these families hasn't secretly provided financial assistance to the White Lotus Sect?"

"Copy everything, leaving no room for error."

After a pause, Jia Yi added, "We'll keep some of what we copied."

"Your Highness, how much should we leave?"

Niu Dahao's eyes suddenly lit up.

One second they're debating morality, the next they've switched to accounting.

Back then, his father, Niu Jizong, was in charge of the family business, and he was a hands-off manager who spent money like water.

Now that I'm the head of my own household, I understand how much money can break my back.

"Ninety percent."

Jia Yi uttered two words, seemingly nonchalant.

"Okay, keep 90%—what?!"

Niu Dahao nearly choked. "Your Highness, I'm asking how many we should keep!"

According to the rules, the imperial court takes the lion's share of the proceeds from confiscated property, while those who carried out the confiscation are lucky to get a small cut.

How come it's reversed here?!

"That's right."

"We'll take ninety percent, and the remaining ten percent will be offered as tribute to His Majesty."

Jia Yi spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world, without even blushing.

Niu Dahao gasped, his mind exploding—

He suddenly remembered the incident involving the Zhen family in Jiangnan.

According to this method of distribution, the Zhen family's meager wealth has essentially gone into Jia Yi's private coffers!

As for the emperor, he probably only heard a bang, but didn't even get a sip of soup!

"Yes... Your Highness."

Niu Dahao turned and left, his head spinning with shock.

He had only taken a few steps when a soldier stumbled in, his face ashen.

"Your Highness! The body of the Prince of Nan'an... has been found!"

"oh."

Jia Yi nodded calmly, "Prepare a coffin and bring it back to the capital."

When he went south, the Princess Consort and the Dowager Princess of the Nan'an Prince's Mansion knelt in front of the door, crying so hard they almost fainted, begging him to find his remains.

He agreed out of kindness, and now he finally has an explanation.

"But...the corpses...they were too gruesome..."

The soldier's Adam's apple bobbed, his voice trembling, "We...don't know how to prepare the body for burial..."

"miserable?"

Jia Yi raised an eyebrow: Could it have been eaten by a wild animal?

"lead the way."

The soldiers led him out of the city to a mass grave outside the city.

Scattered bones were piled up in the corner of the pit, interspersed with a fragment of an embroidered gold brocade robe.

That is the Prince of Nan'an.

Jia Yi immediately understood why the soldier couldn't bring himself to say it—

This was not a normal death.

It was shattered by gunpowder!

The body was torn to pieces and scattered everywhere. After searching for a long time, only these few fragments were recovered.

"That's all?"

he asks.

"Your Highness... we really... can't find them all..."

The soldier lowered his head, his hands still trembling.

Jia Yi stared at the charred bone, and a judgment had already been made in his mind—

The rest have probably been blown to ash and blown away by the wind long ago.

"Find a good coffin and put the person in it."

Jia Yi spoke up.

At least the body of the Prince of Nan'an has been found.

If we take it back, at least the Prince of Nan'an's mansion can give it a dignified burial.

at this time,

The Yue army has returned to the royal palace.

The King of Yue had an undisguised smile on his face.

Since capturing dozens of live Thor warriors,

They rushed back without stopping, traversing mountains and valleys.

They didn't stop for a moment, not even for a second.

Now, looking at that row of burly figures in the prison,

The king's lips never drooped.

"Your Majesty, have you obtained the White Lotus Sect's method for training the Thunder God Warrior?"

When the royal advisor heard that the king had returned,

He immediately dropped everything and rushed over.

Seeing the king's smug expression,

His heart warmed—

It seems the great undertaking has been accomplished!

"Didn't get it."

The king smiled and shook his head.

The Imperial Advisor froze on the spot.

You didn't get anything, but you're laughing like you've found a mountain of gold?!

"But I brought back dozens of living Thor warriors."

The king's smile deepened.

The Imperial Advisor breathed a sigh of relief.

Live ones are fine too!

As long as people are alive, there are always more solutions than problems.

"Great! We can train Thor ourselves!"

He was so happy he kept rubbing his hands together.

"Where is that White Lotus Sect's Holy Maiden? Hasn't she spoken yet?"

The king asked casually.

The Imperial Advisor shook his head.

He was truly impressed by that woman.

An ordinary man would have been crying and begging for mercy on the rack by now.

She gritted her teeth and endured it, not uttering a single word.

"Ha, tough bones."

The king gave a cold laugh, then waved his hand:

"There's no need for further review."

"Pass down the order: prepare fine wine and delicacies, and have beautiful women serve these Thor warriors."

"Send another messenger on horseback to inform all monks throughout the country—"

"It is said that the Lightning King, who controls thunder and lightning, has descended to earth."

He learned quickly and applied his knowledge even more effectively.

"Yes, sir!"

The Imperial Advisor immediately turned around and made the arrangements.

The captured Thor warriors looked around.

When they were first arrested, they were terrified.

They thought they could be beheaded at any moment as a sacrifice to the flag.

But over the past few days, the King of Yue not only did not kill them,

On the contrary, they were treated to good food and drink and received exceptional courtesy.

When you relax, you become lazy.

Although I am far from home

But life there was even more comfortable than it was in the mountains.

And so, delicious food is served, and a beautiful woman is delivered to the door.

The house was filled with gold and silver treasures.

One by one, the warriors who were originally as cold and iron-like,

In the blink of an eye, he became a lecherous man indulging in debauchery.

The Imperial Advisor watched from afar, a smile playing on his lips.

"Enjoy it."

He chuckled, "Once you spill the secret, your lives will be over."

He never dreamed that...

The so-called "secret technique" of Thor the Warrior is nothing more than gunpowder.

And these warriors, revered as messengers of the gods,

They're just a bunch of cannon fodder brainwashed by the White Lotus Cult.

They can't even prepare the medicine themselves.

Not to mention teaching any special skills.

But the Yue Kingdom was unaware of this.

In order to get them to talk,

Over the next ten days, the Imperial Preceptor bestowed upon them in various ways—

Delicacies, beautiful women, and gold and silk—nothing was spared.

On the tenth day, the king felt that the time was right.

A gentle embrace is most likely to soften a person's heart.

With just a little push, someone will eventually bow down to wealth and glory.

He personally visited Thor's residence.

Pushing open the door, I saw the scene was somewhat out of control—

Many people are busy having sex with beautiful women.

He was abruptly interrupted by a soldier and pulled over.

At this moment, they looked annoyed at being disturbed.

He stared impatiently at the king.

"Gentlemen, have you been satisfied with the food, wine, and beautiful women of my Yue Kingdom these past few days?"

The king asked with a smile.

Looking at the restlessness and longing that they couldn't hide in their eyes,

He was overjoyed.

The fish is finally about to take the bait.

In his eyes, with just a gentle nudge, these people would eagerly spill their secrets.

"Well, the food... it's barely enough to fill my stomach."

"It certainly can't compare to the delicious food from Guangdong and Guangxi."

"Women are quite exciting."

……

The Thor warriors winked and grinned lewdly.

These ten days have been absolutely fantastic.
