Jinyiwei: Starting by Killing a Traitorous Superior – Chapter 24

Ch 24: Seventh Prince

Not only that, Jiaozhou is also the weakest state under the Great Ming Dynasty’s control.

Here, the Imperial Court’s authority is wantonly trampled upon, and the safety of officials’ lives cannot be guaranteed.

According to incomplete statistics, the number of officials murdered each year for various reasons is as high as fifty percent.

More seriously, two of the Great Ming’s four major Demonic Sects have actually established their headquarters in Jiaozhou.

These two Demonic Sects have enormous power and cruel methods. They not only oppress the common people but also oppose the Imperial Court, becoming a major problem for the Great Ming.

And the chaos in Jiaozhou is far more than that. Every two to three years, a large-scale rebellion erupts here.

These uprisings are often initiated by martial world people who are dissatisfied with the Imperial Court’s rule. They take the opportunity to purge the Jinyiwei and Six Doors warriors, attempting to overthrow the Imperial Court’s rule and establish their own hegemony.

It is precisely because of this that the position of Thousand Household Commander here is the only one that needs to be forcibly assigned.

The Jinyiwei and Six Doors here all have to keep a low profile; otherwise, they don’t know when their heads will be hung on the city wall.

“Then you still choose this place? Don’t blame me for not reminding you. It’s a good thing for young people to have ambition, but they must first weigh their own strength. Even if I go there, I can’t change anything.”

Meng Wangjin earnestly advised, but Jiang Chen seemed unusually stubborn.

“Lord Meng, I have already made my decision, you don’t need to persuade me anymore.”

Seeing Jiang Chen like this, Meng Wangjin could only sigh: “Since you have already made your choice, then I won’t persuade you anymore. Prepare yourself.”

After saying that, he got up and left here to report back to the Ming Emperor.

Seeing this scene, a hint of greed flashed in Jiang Chen’s eyes.

For others, Jiaozhou is a terrible h*ll on earth.

But for Jiang Chen, this is an absolute treasure land.

It can provide him with a steady stream of sin points for him to use in the lottery draw and strengthen himself.

Although there are also extremely sinful people in other states and counties.

But that requires him to search for them one by one, which is not as quick as directly starting a massacre.

While thinking, he gently picked up the exquisitely carved, golden and glittering Jin Yin on the table, secretly planning his upcoming trip to the Jinyiwei Treasure Pavilion.

This Jin Yin is not only a symbol of identity but also his pass for this operation.

He walked steadily, passing through the corridor, and arrived at the entrance of the Jinyiwei Treasure Pavilion.

At the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion, several stewards were meticulously busy.

Holding rosters in their hands, their eyes sharp, they continuously checked whether the merit points in the hands of the Jinyiwei who came to exchange treasures matched the value of the treasures they had chosen.

These stewards wore the Jinyiwei’s unique uniforms, dignified and solemn. Their presence ensured the safety of the treasures in the Treasure Pavilion and maintained order within the Jinyiwei.

In an open space in front of the Treasure Pavilion, a wizened Old Man was lying comfortably on a rattan lounge chair, leisurely basking in the sun.

His hair was white, and his face was covered with traces of time.

Jiang Chen walked to one of the stewards and stopped.

He bowed slightly and said in a humble but confident manner: “I am here to select treasures by order of His Majesty.”

As he spoke, he slowly stretched out his right hand and held the small Jin Yin high, showing it to everyone present.

The Jin Yin shone brightly in the sunlight, as if carrying an unspeakable majesty and power.

The stewards stopped their work one after another, and their eyes turned to the Jin Yin in Jiang Chen’s hand.

“This is His Majesty’s Jin Yin!”

One of them exclaimed and quickly took the Jin Yin to confirm its authenticity.

“That’s right, it is indeed His Majesty’s Jin Yin.”

The Jinyiwei in charge of verification said after confirming it again and again.

“Then can I go in now?”

“Seventh Prince, do you think we can let him in?”

The Jinyiwei said to the Old Man.

The Old Man glanced at Jiang Chen and coldly snorted with dissatisfaction after discovering that he was just a Houtian Realm minion.

“Old Fourth is really getting more and more generous lately. Even a Houtian Realm kid can receive such favor.”

His tone was full of dissatisfaction and jealousy.

After saying that, he waved his hand and said to the Jinyiwei guard beside him: “Go, tell him that the upper three floors are not allowed.”

Jiang Chen knew that the “Old Fourth” in his mouth referred to the current The Emperor, and that this favor was specially bestowed upon him by The Emperor.

Jiang Chen stood aside, listening to his complaints, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Just kidding, the Jinyiwei Treasure Pavilion is divided into nine floors in total, and the treasures on each floor are extremely precious. If he can’t enter the upper three floors, then what’s the use of this grace to him?

“The imperial decree His Majesty gave me was to choose any treasure at will, but it didn’t say that I couldn’t go to the upper three floors.”

Jiang Chen’s tone was firm, and his eyes stared directly at the middle-aged man, as if challenging his authority.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in front of the Treasure Pavilion looked at Jiang Chen in surprise, their eyes full of disbelief.

They did not expect that this Jinyiwei, whose cultivation was only at the Houtian Realm, would dare to speak to the Seventh Prince like this.

You must know that the Great Ancestor did not pass the throne to his son, that is, the current The Emperor, but to his grandson.

It was the current The Emperor and his brothers who fought into the Capital City and killed all three National Preceptors left by the former Great Ancestor, that they have the world today.

And this Seventh Prince was one of the brothers who followed the current Ming Emperor into the Capital City.

However, his cultivation is not considered strong, only at the Grandmaster Realm.

But even so, he is not someone Jiang Chen can easily insult.

“You, a Houtian Realm minion, dare to bark in front of me?”

The Seventh Prince’s words were full of majesty, his eyes shone with a cold light like cold stars, and a huge aura pressed over like a landslide.

Jiang Chen only felt like a mountain was pressing on him, and the heavy pressure made it almost impossible for him to breathe.

The stone bricks under his feet cracked inch by inch under this pressure, as if even the earth could not bear the oppression of this force.

However, Jiang Chen did not retreat because of this.

He still held his head high and looked at the Seventh Prince firmly, with no intention of compromising on his face.

His eyes were full of unyieldingness, as if he would never bow his head easily even in the face of the most powerful enemy.

If it were an ordinary Houtian Realm martial artist, they would probably have died violently under this pressure.

But Jiang Chen is not an ordinary Houtian Realm martial artist. He cultivates the Thirteenth Level Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill.

This cultivation method is not only powerful but also greatly improves the cultivator’s physical fitness.
