Chapter 19 Why not
"What a mess this is!"
In the Zhenfusi Yamen, Cao Jinxing looked at the pile of burial objects that had been looted. In addition to gold and silver treasures, there were also dual cultivation maps and silks, or powerful aphrodisiacs...
"This imperial teacher is really low..."
The corner of Cao Jinxing's eye twitched.
"hug?"
Su Yunsheng and Sun Lang looked puzzled.
Cao Jinxing took out two bottles of pills from his bag: "[Peking Yuan Pills], this is quite useful, you two can take them."
When the Jinyiwei were doing their work, as long as they were not confiscating property and taking stolen goods, they had to turn over the full amount. All other proceeds from the pursuit and arrest would belong to their superiors.
This is an unspoken rule.
This is also the reason why many people want a good job, which means there is money to be made - the salary alone cannot cover the expenses of military personnel.
"Thank you, sir."
Cao Jinxing's personality was such that the two of them had already gotten to know each other well enough that pretending to refuse and dragging her feet would only annoy him.
Since the adults treat them like this, they will both work hard in the future.
"The Tantric mind method is different from that of the Central Plains. It cultivates the chakras instead of the meridians. Otherwise, these books could be given to you to practice. They are better than what you have now."
Apart from those garbage, there are only a few books on Tantric Buddhism that are okay, which can be considered the best quality collected by Jialin Zhenshan.
"But there's no need to rush. You did a good job today. I think you two will be allowed into the secret vault. Our governor is quite clear about rewards and punishments."
Su Yunsheng and Sun Lang: "Yes."
Cao Jinxing could comment on the pacification envoy at will because he was strong enough and was increasingly relied upon, but the other two dared not say anything careless.
"Each of you grab a handful of these treasures and go back to sleep." Cao Jinxing stretched and stood up: "I want to go back to sleep too."
Each person grabs a handful...
Sun Lang and Su Yunsheng were both numb, their eyes wide open, suspecting they had heard wrongly.
Cao Jinxing said: "What are you standing there for? Just take it if I tell you to."
"Well, thank you very much, sir..."
They both took a little carefully.
Just this is enough for their salary for ten years!
Your Excellency's deep affection and friendship are truly...
They are both veterans of the Pacification Department. They have served many superiors. Which one of them is not a Pixiu? This one is good. Not only does he give elixirs, he also gives silver...
Lots of money ...
They both knelt on one knee and said, "I am willing to sacrifice my life for you, even if it means I will go through fire and water!"
"It's just a small thing, is it worth such a show? You are too easy to bribe."
Cao Jinxing smiled and said, "I've given you a chance. You two caught them yourselves. Don't regret it later. After all, it's not always possible to get such a big profit. The last time I looted Crouching Tiger Mountain, I only got a little over 1,000 taels."
Cao Jinxing treats money as dirt, not because he doesn't care, but because he is confident that he can earn more.
Even if you spend all your money, you can still make it back, so why bother about this?
Seeing him so casual, Sun Lang and Su Yunsheng could not help but admire him even more and became more relaxed. They said with a smile, "Your Excellency is not surprised by praise or criticism. We two cannot do that. If you take more, we will not be able to sleep well."
"Fine."
Cao Jinxing packed up the rest and carried it out the door: "Go back and have a good rest. You have to report for duty tomorrow."
"yes."
The three of them went back to their homes.
Cao Jinxing returned to the Mingshifang courtyard, opened the door and saw a small package placed next to the main door. Xuanyuan Shisi came out when he smelled the smell.
The package contained the food that Fengyun Villa had promised to give Fourteen. Even if it was all sixth-grade spiritual materials, this package was still worth a lot of money.
"You have a good nose."
Cao Jinxing knocked on its little head, causing Fourteen to snort in dissatisfaction. He wanted to bite him but couldn't bear to do so, so he stuck out his tongue and licked his fingers.
Cao Jinxing walked in carrying his bag, lit the oil lamp, and let Fourteen eat and drink. He sat at the table and looked at the biggest gain of this time - the [Mantra Pearl].
He has figured it out.
The ability of this thing to avoid poison and resist fire is not because it has anything special in itself, but because the "Tumo Samadhi" is strong enough. After mastering it, the body will be filled with fire, and naturally it will be immune to all poisons and not afraid of high temperatures.
If you just wear it, it is no different from ordinary jewelry.
"This thing contains internal energy and skills. Even if that old thief Jialin Zhenshan consumed a lot, there should be quite a bit left. But it would be a waste to keep it. How about selling it?"
He learned a lot of secrets from Gu Yanzhu, and knew that there was a "ghost market" underground in the capital where all kinds of treasures could be traded in secret.
[Mani Pearl] has limited appeal to the people of the Central Plains, but it is a priceless treasure to the Tantric Buddhism. It should be able to be exchanged for something good...
Just thought of this.
Click!
Xuanyuan Shisi took advantage of his distraction to sneak up on him, opened his mouth and bit the [Mantra Pearl]!
It thought it was some delicious snack, so it bit the beads with its sharp teeth, chewed them up, swallowed them, and licked its lips.
Cao Jinxing: “…”
Then he felt a surge of strength in his abdomen. Fourteen's mouth became dry and he couldn't help but sneeze. Flames rushed out of his throat!
"Meow?"
Seeing the flames, Fourteen was startled.
Then, as if it had discovered something interesting, it began to follow the remaining thoughts of Milarepa, silently gathering its energy and slapping the table with its little paws!
Snapped!
Flames rising!
There was a burnt cat paw print on the table.
Xuanyuan Shisi was even happier. Looking at the flames formed on his claws, he was very happy. He ran happily to show Cao Jinxing, and had a lot of fun condensing and dispersing fire.
“This is really…”
A cat, it also learned martial arts...
Cao Jinxing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and patted its head: "Forget it, whether it sells or not is secondary, as long as you have fun."
Xuanyuan Shisi meowed and pounced on Cao Jinxing.
The master is the best!
…
The next morning.
In the Zhenfusi Yamen, Liu Zhenyuan looked at the action document handed over by Cao Jinxing and was silent for a long time.
"I told you to find a hideout, and you took them down..."
"My Lord. The Qi cultivated by the He Huan Sect's dual cultivation method is mixed and strong on the outside but weak on the inside. I think they can handle it, so I'll just do it directly to avoid any more trouble."
“…”
Liu Zhenyuan's mouth twitched: "Thank you for your hard work, Captain ." He took out the token and threw it to Su Yunsheng first: "You two, go to the secret library and pick out a sixth-grade spiritual weapon."
"Thank you, sir!"
The two were so excited that they quickly thanked him.
"Go down."
"yes."
The two of them left first.
Liu Zhenyuan looked at Cao Jinxing worriedly: "Others are just accumulating experience and following the rules, but you are piling up merits with hard work... If another centurion did this, he would bring a thousand-householder to do it together, and share half of the credit, but without any worries. Do you understand what I mean?"
Cao Jinxing smiled and said, "I understand, but there is nothing I can do. My legs and feet are not good, so I can't kneel down."
"You, you."
Liu Zhenyuan also laughed: "I think it can't be suppressed. In this case, I won't suppress it. Practicing martial arts and practicing Taoism are similar in nature. What is needed is nothing more than money, friends, Dharma and land. What do you want?"
Cao Jinxing: "The more detoxifying and healing pills, the better. The rest is irrelevant."
He has the “land” and the “Dharma” is sufficient for the time being. As for the “companion”, he has his own high level of understanding and does not need any fellow practitioners.
Finally, there is "wealth", including natural treasures, elixirs, magic weapons...
Weapons and armor can be bought with money, but elixirs for curing diseases and poisons are extremely precious, and there is nowhere to buy them even if you have money, so this is more cost-effective.
"good."
Liu Zhenyuan simply said: "But it's only of the sixth rank, so it can't be compared with what Eunuch Lu gave. As compensation, you can choose another spiritual weapon."
Cao Jinxing thought about it and said, "Okay."
Just pick a palm technique.
"Go and see it, and come find me when you're done."
Liu Zhenyuan said meaningfully: "For you, there is no need to follow the routine, but it is not that easy to be promoted to deputy captain. At least you have to openly leave everyone speechless. This is not easy. Do you dare to accept it?"
Cao Jinxing: "Why not?"
"good!"
Liu Zhenyuan slammed the table and said, "In that case, I will give you a great deed! As long as you return with your deed accomplished, I promise that no one will complain."
