The Great Qin: Starting with marrying Jingni, I began my quest for immortality.

Keeping Lady Mingzhu around certainly poses a risk.

But that was after the Blood-Clad Marquis returned. At least for now, keeping him alive is advantageous for Jiang Chuan.

For the rest of the time, Jiang Chuan and Ru Shuang did not talk, but rested.

There was no fighting involved.

After a busy night, I'm a bit tired.

The next day, around noon, Jiang Chuan finally arrived at the General's Mansion.

Ji Wuye didn't mention that Jiang Chuan was late, since he hadn't told Jiang Chuan the exact time, only that Jiang Chuan should come to the manor today.

"You did a very good job."

When Jiang Chuan arrived at the general's mansion, Ji Wuye immediately said something to him.

He already knew about what happened last night.

Jiang Chuan was pragmatic and took the pill given to him by Madam Mingzhu.

This means that Jiang Chuan's body has been infected with Gu poison, and from now on, his life and death will be in Jiang Chuan's hands. He can now trust Jiang Chuan to make good use of him.

"From this day forward, you will be the fourth fierce general of the night."

Chapter Sixty-One: List of Those to be Executed

It wasn't until Ji Wuye announced that Jiang Chuan had become the fourth fierce general of Nightfall that Jiang Chuan took over the entire business of Emerald Tiger.

At the same time, they also knew just how big Jade Tiger's business really was.

Although he had become the president of the Jade Merchants Association, the association was engaged in legitimate business.

Now, Jiang Chuan knows that Emerald Tiger has many shady businesses under his control.

Jade Tiger did all of these kinds of business, including smuggling and human trafficking.

As the Grand General of Han, Ji Wuye had extraordinary connections in the army. Xueyi Hou, another Grand General who controlled Han's 100,000-strong army, was also Ji Wuye's man. This meant that even if Ji Wuye acted recklessly in the army, ordinary people would not know the truth.

This is also why he chose to embezzle 100,000 taels of gold from the military pay.

Because in his view, the entire South Korean army was his property.

Naturally, those military salaries were also his money.

He simply got back the money that was rightfully his.

The Korean army was not particularly strong. Although Ji Wuye had once led his troops to a decisive victory against a Chu army that outnumbered them ten to one, that victory was purely coincidental, as the Chu general had died suddenly.

Therefore, Ji Wuye knew very well what the Korean army was like.

Instead of hoping they will win the battle, it would be better to prepare for our own future and make more money.

This is also why Ji Wuye took the initiative to befriend the Luo Wang and establish contact with the Qin state's Luo Wang.

His method of making money was to sell equipment from the South Korean military.

The Korean crossbow is world-renowned because they have mastered unique crossbow-making technology. Their crossbow bolts are better than those of other countries. Ji Wuye directly took the best Korean weapons to sell, and at the same time, he also sold off the rest of the weapons and equipment.

These items were not only sold to the states of Chu and Zhao, but Ji Wuye even sold them to the state of Qin.

If anyone were to investigate South Korea's armory, they would find that it has actually been empty for a long time.

However, it's unlikely that anyone would bother to investigate.

Who told Ji Wuye to be the one guarding the armory in the army?

Moreover, although Ji Wuye sold those things, he did find ways to remedy the situation.

The so-called remedial measure was that the weapons had been in disrepair for years and were already scrapped. He ordered the Imperial Workshop to remanufacture a new batch. The money for the remanufacturing came from the imperial court, but the recast weapons were eventually sold by Ji Wuye, and the money from the sale went into Ji Wuye's pocket.

Besides making money by selling military weapons, Ji Wuye also trafficked people.

Under the banner of Nightfall, many low-life martial arts sects are kept. They depend on Nightfall for survival. In addition to collecting protection money from the lowest levels of society and then handing it over to Nightfall, they are also responsible for searching for beauties all over the world.

Beautiful women were the type of people Ji Wuye kidnapped the most.

It wasn't just because he was lustful and needed to enjoy beautiful women.

Furthermore, Lady Mingzhu, residing deep within the palace, also needed many beauties to present to King Han in order to win his favor.

Of course, this is a clear statement.

Jiang Chuan was familiar with the plot and had interrogated Madam Mingzhu, so he naturally knew what was going on.

Lady Mingzhu actually only gave a handful of people to King Han; most of them were given to Bai Yifei so that he could practice his skills.

Within Bai Yifei's Snow Robe Fortress underground space, the remains of countless beautiful women are piled up.

Smuggling weapons and trafficking people were the two most profitable businesses under Ji Wuye's command.

In addition, there are some shady businesses.

After Ji Wuye entrusted all of Jade Tiger's business to Jiang Chuan, Jiang Chuan also saw an account book.

The ledgers contained lists of powerful figures and officials connected to Jade Tiger.

Emerald Tiger maintained the relationship by giving them money.

These are all connections related to Ji Wuye.

"What network of connections? It's clearly a death row list."

After reviewing the account books, Jiang Chuan couldn't help but offer his comments.

“Every single one of these people deserves to die.”

At the same time, he also understood why Jade Tiger's business had grown so large in such a short period of time, and why Ji Wuye could wield such power in the court.

Besides Ji Wuye's protection, there was also the protective umbrella jointly created for him by these officials.

After these officials accepted money from Jade Tiger, they gained leverage over him. Jade Tiger then passed this leverage on to Ji Wuye, who used it to coerce the officials, who naturally became members of Ji Wuye's faction.

"Ji Wuye is truly a traitor to the country."

Jiang Chuan sighed.

Then, he continued to peruse the account books.

Although he despised Ji Wuye and knew about the numerous crimes committed by Ji Wuye's group, he was neither Han Fei nor a Korean. At present, he had no intention of using this evidence to eliminate Ji Wuye.

In fact, we must achieve some results in the next few days.

Because of Ji Wuye, he will probably be very angry next.

After thinking it over for a while, Jiang Chuan...

They went to Emerald Tiger's mansion.

After Emerald Tiger's death, his luxurious mansion came into Jiang Chuan's possession. Jiang Chuan did not live there, but simply used it as a conference room, where he would usually gather wealthy merchants for meetings.

Today, he summoned these people again.

"How are your preparations going regarding what I mentioned that day?"

Jiang Chuan asked the crowd a question.

When he inherited the Jade Tiger business, what he did was certainly not just selling wine and tea. He also made some other business plans and originally did not intend to go public so quickly.

But then I thought about how the Ghost Soldier case was about to be closed.

Ji Wuye is about to be furious because he has lost 100,000 taels of gold.

Some plans need to be brought out in advance.

"Don't worry, Chairman. We have been actively clearing out the properties during this period and can push that matter forward at any time."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan nodded. "Very good, then let's start the operation."

Following Jiang Chuan's order.

As a result, slogans began to appear more frequently throughout the city of Xinzheng.

What? Houses are for living in. Rumors about houses being sold cheaply are spreading like wildfire.

At first, many people did not understand what it meant.

Soon, they understood.

It turns out that a group of wealthy merchants, led by the Jade Merchants Association, had banded together to sell real estate.

Chapter Sixty-Two: I've Come to Deliver Money to the General

Although there were poor families in Xinzheng, the capital of Korea, they lived in the outer corners of the city, and many of their houses did not even belong to them.

It was rented.

It may seem unbelievable, but it is actually true.

As the capital of a country, houses in Xinzheng are very expensive.

The world was engulfed in war, and every few years, wars would break out.

The war displaced many people, and they fled to South Korea, where they were taken in. Some of them came to Xinzheng, but as refugees, they naturally had no money to buy houses.
