Chapter 590: Chapter 76: Three Kings’ Comments, Dispositions, and Transfer Orders (Final Chapter of This Volume)_5

"Moreover, some Yin Gods were originally the ancestors of certain families. If you have money, they could even sell their ancestors."

"So everything can be bought..." Yi Zhijie muttered to himself.

...

"Brother Xia, could you speak to General Xiang Kui of the Xuanjia Army and ask him to switch a defensive zone with us?"

Xia Jing looked at the map Zhao Xing was pointing to with confusion, "What do you want with that remote corner of Luoyang Mountain, where there’s neither a village in front nor a store behind?"

The area around Luoyang Mountain was not close to the power of the Southern Desolate nor next to any rear transport routes.

Let alone strategic value, it fundamentally had no value; they wouldn’t even build a city there. freewebnoveℓ.com

A little further to the west was the Leiyang Army, but in Xia Jing’s eyes, the Leiyang Army was utterly insignificant.

Without even a Cave Heaven Station, it could not catch the Princely Heir’s eye.

"Farming. I’m itching to switch to a new land for farming, is that okay?" Zhao Xing said.

"Sure, of course." Xia Jing said, "I’ll mention it, and there’s no need to swap; we’ll directly assign it to your Divine Might Army."

While speaking to Xia Jing, one of Zhao Xing’s Ten Thousand Skill Avatars was also communicating with another person.

"Brother Wu, do you know anyone in the Market Department of Anping Prefecture?"

"Yes, what level of contact do you need?" Princely Heir Wu Zhengting asked.

"Higher would be better."

"My uncle Wu Qinghua is the Left Deputy of the Market Department of Anping Prefecture, a Secondary Fourth-rank, is that high enough?"

"That’s more than enough." Zhao Xing said.

"What do you want my uncle to do?"

"I’ve discovered merchants causing chaos in the war zone. If there’s an order, please ask your uncle to mobilize trusted personnel and act immediately."

"No problem." Wu Zhengting smiled, "That’s my uncle’s duty."

...

"Mr. Ji, if merchants collude with military officers to traffic spoils of war in the war zone and forcefully scrap government-commissioned warships, does this fall under the local Ministry of Justice or the Military Realm?"

"Local chambers of commerce are handled by the Market Department, but since this is illegal, the Market Department can only seal the assets of banks and ticket shops." Ji Ziyun said, "The local Ministry of Justice is only responsible for the hearing; the actual sealing of physical assets requires personnel from the Inspection Bureau, but it must be authorized by the government."

"If it’s at the county level, then the County Venerable issues the authorization; if it’s in a prefecture, then the Prefectural Governor does."

"What about in a Prefecture City?" Zhao Xing asked.

"In a Prefecture City, at most the Prefectural Governor issues the paperwork, no need to bother the Prefecture Lord for investigating a merchant." Ji Ziyun laughed, "Unless it’s an imperial merchant, then even the Prefecture Lord wouldn’t handle it, that would be managed by the Prince Mansion."

"Local matters are handled locally; merchants are naturally handled by the local government."

"For military matters, it depends on the scale; if the army doesn’t have a Cave Heaven Station, then it’s managed by the local Military Department; if there is a Cave Heaven Station, then the Military Realm takes over."

"It all depends on what you plan to do. Usually, there’s no cross-border arrests or investigations unless it’s a significant matter. The situation you described involves which rank of military officer?"

"Fifth-rank," Zhao Xing said.

"A Fifth-rank Commander, without a Cave Heaven Station, should report to the Military Department of the Jiutian Yingyuan Mansion. If it’s broad-reaching and severe in nature, the Military Realm Inspection Department might also take notice, possibly even the Prince Mansion’s involvement."

"Thank you, Mr. Ji."

...

Zhao Xing employed multiple avatars, influencing people almost simultaneously.

As of now, Marquis Yuan Rang also had many connections; these battles hadn’t been fought in vain, nor had he only made Xia Jing’s acquaintance.

After influencing people, Zhao Xing immediately moved to the new defense zones.

He and the Tiger Flood Dragon Army, Xuanjia Army, and Fierce Sun Army exchanged seven new defense zones.

All were adjacent to the Leiyang Army.

To capture Yi Zhiwen, it was best to catch him red-handed to avoid ending up in protracted legal disputes.

Zhao Xing didn’t know which route today’s Leiyang Chamber of Commerce was using.

So, he sent an avatar to each of the seven defense zones; the rest was left to luck.

If he encountered them, it would save trouble; if not, he’d have to capture Yi Zhiwen in Anping Prefecture and proceed with a sudden interrogation.

...

From early to late December, Zhao Xing specifically monitored the movements of the Leiyang Army and the Leiyang Chamber of Commerce.

By January 13 of the 20th year of Jingxin, he finally found an opportunity.

That day, on the border of his defense zone, Zhao Xing suddenly attacked seven dilapidated-looking airships.

He then quickly returned to his own defense zone.

Once he boarded one of the ships, he immediately laughed.

"Slave army, scrapped ships, damn it’s still the same old tactic passed down to his son, no change at all."

"Sir, we are from the seventh battle zone of the Pacifying Barbarian Army of the Cha Bu Army, under Lord Sean, not from foreign tribes." Yi Zhiwen, undisturbed, said.

He was wearing a Thousand Mechanism Transformation Set, currently resembling a Barbarian.

Yi Zhibei also had a complete set of identification.

But before he could produce it, Zhao Xing laughed, "Yi Zhiwen, if you want to join the army to serve your country, why bother impersonating a Slave Army on the battlefield?"

"With your money and connections to important figures, there are plenty of ways to enlist."

Zhao Xing’s Heavenly Eye Skill had reached the High-level Nine Transitions; for Yi Zhiwen to deceive him was simply a fool’s dream.

Having his identity exposed outright, Yi Zhiwen didn’t panic but calmly said, "Please have your men step back, sir. I have an important matter to discuss."

"Oh? Let’s hear it." Zhao Xing waved his hand to make his men withdraw, secretly activating the Mirage Pearl and having someone conceal a Judicial Yin God Statue behind him.

"May I know your origins, sir? What rank do you hold?" Yi Zhiwen asked, aiming to ascertain Zhao Xing’s background before deciding what offer to make.

"I am Marquis Yuan Rang, merely a Sixth-rank. What offer can you make?" Zhao Xing asked.

Sixth-rank? Yi Zhiwen’s heart eased.

"If sir would step down from his position, you could immediately receive half a million points. And I assure you that these half a million points are clean."

"Furthermore, if sir wishes to cooperate, you could earn at least two million a year!"
