If I add money to become a layman, I can cultivate immortality

Chapter 3
In fact, Ding Baiying also has a disciple named Ding Xian who is currently in Jinyiwei.

However, this kid had a special reason for joining Jin Yiwei. He killed a Jin Yiwei named "Jin Yichuan" and then assumed his name.

Therefore, his name is Jin Yichuan now.

"What did you say?" Ding Baiying looked shocked: "Are you crazy? The Jin Yiwei are chasing us everywhere, but you actually want to throw yourself into a trap?"

Ding Xiu smiled: "They are chasing the master, not the disciple. They don't know the existence of the disciple at all."

Having said this, Ding Baiying couldn't help but be stunned.

It seems so.

"Why do you have to join the Jinyiwei? Do you want to get promoted and make a fortune? Don't forget, your uncle Lu..."

Having said this, Ding Baiying paused and then said: "What if you become the commander of the Jinyi Guards? You are still not a dog in Dongchang."

At the beginning, the reason why she accompanied her senior brother to help King Xin with all her strength was not to rebel, but to bring down the eunuchs headed by Wei Zhongxian.

But Wei Zhongxian has too much power. Besides the emperor, who else can bring down this eunuch?
Then we can only bring down the emperor first.

Therefore, Lu Wenzhao tried his best to send people to tamper with the emperor's newly built treasure ship, causing the treasure ship to sink. The emperor was frightened when he fell into the water and became ill.

Everything is to help King Xin ascend the throne and replace the current emperor.

"Master, I'm telling you, although King Xin is ruthless, I believe that after he ascends the throne, he will definitely liquidate Wei Zhongxian.

As long as Wei Zhongxian falls, Dongchang will lose its backer, so what is there to fear? "

Ding Baiying frowned and said, "Why do you have to enter the Jinyi Guard?"

Ding Xiu replied: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger's cubs?"

Hearing this, Ding Baiying couldn't help but look shocked. Apparently, she had vaguely guessed Ding Xiu's thoughts.

"No, it's too dangerous. Even if you have a chance to approach King Xin and kill him, you won't have the chance to escape."

Ding Xiu smiled and said: "Don't worry, Master, I won't be stupid enough to risk my life."

After saying this, Ding Baiying couldn't help but patted her forehead: "That's right. How can a person like you be willing to risk his life?"

Ding Xiu looked dissatisfied: "What kind of person am I?"

"Greedy for money..." Ding Baiying paused and added two more words: "Lawful!"

"No, disciple..."

Ding Baiying waved her hands with an air of no doubt: "No need to explain. If you really want to join Jinyiwei, I do have a way, but it will take a while."

……

Half a month later, King Xin got his wish, put on the long-awaited dragon robe, and changed his reign to Chongzhen.

Of course, before ascending the throne, it is inevitable to humble yourself to show your kindness.

"The former emperor suddenly collapsed and returned to the Five Elements. I follow the will of Emperor Daxing to enter Fengzong.

Civil and military ministers at home and abroad, as well as senior soldiers and civilians, combined their words to urge us to advance, but despite repeated attempts, they refused.At this moment, I would like to tell heaven and earth that I am the emperor! "

Before, although he was a prince, so what?He didn't even dare to speak loudly in front of Wei Zhongxian.

Now, he finally dominates the world and his back is straightened up.

In the imperial study, Wei Zhongxian handed over a list of names and said: "Your Majesty, this is the list of death row prisoners who will be executed in the autumn."

Emperor Chongzhen took the roster and said calmly: "My father-in-law, please go back and rest early."

Wei Zhongxian glanced at Emperor Chongzhen and replied: "I'm not tired, little minister."

Emperor Chongzhen said in a nonchalant tone: "Go ahead. From now on, I and the cabinet will be responsible for the government affairs. I don't need to worry about it, father-in-law."

After saying that, he raised his head slightly and glanced sideways at Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but feel startled. He subconsciously glanced at the guard at the door, and then hurriedly handed over his hand: "I'm sorry, please leave."

When I left, my steps were staggering, as if I had suddenly aged ten years.The next day, the news spread somehow.

The wind direction in the capital has changed suddenly, and Wei Zhongxian's party is like a bereaved dog, panicking.

On the contrary, everyone in the Donglin Party, who had been suppressed by the Eunuch Party and was out of breath, clapped their hands and cheered. They had already had a premonition that their era was coming!
It was also at this special time that Ding Xiu, the "Jiaqian layman", put on new clothes, took big steps, and came to the capital in high spirits.

This time, he had important matters to attend to.

First, he had to sneak into the "Qingfeng Tea House" at night to get the money.

Qingfeng Tea House was a secret stronghold that Ding Baiying had established in the capital before, but it has now been sealed off by the court.

However, according to Ding Baiying, she hid some cash and banknotes in the ground in the backyard just in case, totaling almost 3000 taels.

This amount is neither too big nor too small. In short, for Ding Xiu, it is enough for him to spend a lot of time drinking for the time being...well, it is enough for the time being.

Anyway, he had no intention of returning it to Ding Baiying.

The second thing was that after getting the money, he was going to visit a person, a fellow magistrate of the Zuojun Governor's Mansion: Lu Hanzhong.

Although the Fifth Army Governor's Office has declined and its power is not as powerful as before, it was still the highest military institution that commanded the entire Ming army.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, so it's easy to do small things.

That night, Ding Xiu quietly sneaked into Qingfeng Tea House from the back wall.

I don't know how many times the government searched this hospital when they sealed it. Fortunately, they didn't dig three feet into the ground.

According to what Ding Baiying said, Ding Xiu found the secret sign in the backyard, then threw away his arms and dug, since no one lived there anyway.

After digging for several feet, I finally dug out a sealed wine jar. I tore off the seal and found that there was indeed a lot of silver and banknotes inside.

Ding Xiu didn't bother to count them carefully, so he put them into the coarse cloth bags prepared in advance, then backfilled the soil and restored it as much as possible.

At the same time, Jin Yiwei ordered him to prison.

Three guards in golden clothes walked to the cell door, where a disheveled man was imprisoned: Shen Lian.

That day, he was also seriously injured and fell into a coma. When he woke up, he found that he was in prison.

Shen Lian looked up and found that the other party was holding a tray with wine and meat in it.

He is a connoisseur, so he naturally knows that this food and drink has a name, it is called guillotine rice, which is eaten by death row prisoners before their execution to avoid starving to death.

"Is it the hour?"

Unexpectedly, the leader replied: "Master He Xi, please return to Beizhen Fusi tomorrow. The seats for the hundred households are full. I feel wronged to make a general flag first."

According to the Jinyiwei organization, the youngest leader is called Xiaoqi, and he usually oversees ten people.

Above the small flags is the general flag, which is in charge of five small flags. Above the general flag is the hundred households, with two general flags under their control.

Although he was demoted from a hundred households to a general banner, for Shen Lian's current situation, surviving is already the greatest luck.

The next morning, Shen Lian dressed in Feiyu uniform and went to Beizhen Fusi to report.

In the evening, Ding Xiu arrived at the Lu Han Zhong Mansion.

The guard stepped forward and asked, "Stop, what are you doing?"

"Ding Xiu, could you please pass this jade to Master Lu? I'll tell you to wait outside the door."

The guard looked sarcastic: "Just this piece of broken jade, do you want to see Mr. Lu?"

"Yes! I believe Master Lu will like this jade, and he will definitely meet me."

Seeing Ding Xiu's determined expression, the guard hesitated for a while and finally said: "Then wait a moment, I will report to the Lord."

Ding Xiu hugged his fists and said, "Thank you very much!"
