Xinzheng Palace
"Nonsense!"
King Han's furious roar spread throughout the hall.
The hall was in a mess. One could imagine how furious Han Wangan was.
Not long ago, he had received news that Lord Longquan and Lord Anping had been robbed of their military pay.
A total of 100,000 gold taels was gone just like that!
If they didn't have this 100,000 taels of military pay, there would be a huge problem at the border!
Moreover, it would take a lot of time to gather such a large amount of military pay. By then, it would be too late.
Especially now that the Qin Country was eyeing the Han Country covetously. If this matter was spread out, it would definitely shake the morale of the army…
However, those people all said that they were kidnapped by the ghost soldiers of the State of Zheng. The soldiers who escorted them suffered heavy casualties and the silver disappeared under their noses. They actually didn't find any clues.
This matter was simply too absurd. King Han was truly unable to believe it.
However, he was still a little afraid in his heart.
After all, there had been many rumors about ghosts in the Soul Break Valley before. Perhaps it was because of his guilty conscience, but Han Wangan was also very angry.
This was a serious matter. Lord Anping and Lord Longquan were already locked up in prison, and all the soldiers were being investigated.
Zhang Yidi and Ji Wuye stood silently below.
Now that Han Wangan was furious, whoever spoke would be in trouble.
There had never been any problems with the matter of escorting the army's pay. In addition, Lord Anping and Lord Longquan had taken the initiative to volunteer, which was why Han Wangan had agreed. He did not expect something to happen so soon.
Han Wangan was also suspicious of the two of them.
However, according to his understanding of the two of them, they shouldn't have the courage, let alone the strength!
However, he did not believe that these two were innocent!
"Prime Minister, Great General, how should we resolve this matter? We must not lose this batch of military pay!”
The King of Han stared at his two right-hand men with bloodshot eyes.
"Your Majesty, I am good at leading troops to battle, but I am powerless to investigate cases!”
Ji Wuye secretly curled his lips. Investigate my ass!
This batch of military pay is now in my General Manor.
He glanced at Ji Wuye. Although he had no evidence, Ji Wuye was the biggest suspect in his heart.
How could he not know about Ji Wuye's shady business behind his back?
Moreover, Ji Wuye definitely had the courage and strength to do so!
However, there were no clues now. It would be difficult to find the military pay!
………
Grandfather, what's going on?"
After returning to the mansion, Zhang Liang asked worriedly.
"Today, I received news that the army's salary was robbed in the Soul Break Valley. It was said that it was done by the ghost soldiers of the State of Zheng!”
He sighed and frowned.
"Ghost soldiers robbing us?"
The matter of the ghost soldiers robbing the army had not spread yet, but it definitely could not be hidden for long. This matter was too big.
Many of the officials said that this was a disaster brought about by the King of Han going back on his word. As the grandson of Zhang Kai Di, Zhang Liang naturally knew about this matter.
It seemed that he had just opened his mouth to enter the palace because of this matter.
"Sigh…"
"Ji Wuye, that dog, advised the king to let me investigate the case. If I can't find out within ten days, I will be sentenced to death!”
Now, in the imperial court, Zhang Kedi could still restrain Ji Wuye a little. If Zhang Kedi died, Ji Wuye would have nothing to worry about.
Ji Wuye planned to use this opportunity to get rid of Zhang Kedi. Who knew what Han Wangan was thinking?
He would agree to such an absurd thing. Didn't he know the huge impact of Zhang Kedi's death?
"Looks like I can't escape this time. Liang 'er, you should find a chance to leave Xin Zheng and Han!”
Zhang Kedi was not to blame for being so desperate. However, there was no way to investigate this matter. There was nothing left at the scene. There were only the confessions of those soldiers. There were no other clues. How could they investigate?
"Grandfather, if we want to find out the truth, we can only ask for help!”
Zhang Liang did not give up. He planned to give it a try. No matter what, he could not watch his grandfather be executed.
"Who else can help us now?"
Zhang Kai shook his head. He didn't think anyone could help him.
Zhang Liang spat out three words," Ninth Young Master!”
Outside the Purple Orchid Pavilion
An old man and a young man stood at the entrance and watched the lively scene at Purple Orchid Pavilion.
Zhang Kai frowned.
He had heard of the Purple Orchid Pavilion before. He had heard that it was the most famous place for fireworks in Xinzheng. However, he had never been there before. Moreover, he did not like such places.
However, for the sake of his family's lives, he could only endure it.
Grandfather, let's go in."
Zhang Liang smiled and walked straight into Purple Orchid Pavilion.
Zhang Kai Di didn't plan to come at first, but only agreed after Zhang Liang explained the reason to him.
Zhang Kedi didn't think that Han Fei could help him, because in his opinion, Han Fei was no match for him except for his identity and intelligence.
However, Zhang Liang said that the person he was looking for was not the Ninth Young Master, but Celestial Emperor Ying!
The reason was simple.
Bad people!
He believed that Celestial Emperor Ying would definitely know something. He didn't need to help him find out where the military pay was. He just needed to provide some clues.
However, he had only met Celestial Emperor Ying once. Although Celestial Emperor Ying admired him, Zhang Liang had always thought that Celestial Emperor Ying was just being polite.
But Han Fei was different. He had a good relationship with Celestial Emperor Ying. It would be great if he could get Celestial Emperor Ying's help through Han Fei.
"Ninth Young Master, the Prime Minister and Mister Zhang Liang want to see you!”
Han Fei was drinking with Celestial Emperor Ying and the others in the room when he heard Purple Girl's voice coming from outside the door.
Han Fei mocked himself." It's really strange that the Prime Minister came to me!”
"However, I'm afraid that the Prime Minister has ulterior motives!”
"Invite them in!"
He opened his mouth and said politely," Greetings, Your Highness. Greetings, Ninth Young Master!”
"Lord Prime Minister, Zifang, please sit!”
Han Fei invited them to sit down, took out two wine glasses and poured two more glasses of wine in front of them.
"Purple Orchid Pavilion's Orchid Brew is indeed worthy of its reputation. Looks like Zi Fang is in luck today.”
Zhang Liang smiled as he took the wine cup and downed it.
"Miss Violet, this orchid wine and this gold-rimmed red agate cup really complement each other. It has a different taste.”
"As long as Ninth Young Master is satisfied."
"I have a blue sea coral bottle at home. It's delicious to drink with it!”
Celestial Emperor Ying laughed." Brother Han, you actually hid such a good thing?”
"I'll get someone to steal it tonight!"
Han Fei was speechless.
You're a bandit!
