The court session resumed.
Ever since the ghost soldiers robbed him of his salary and the ghosts and gods demanded his life, the King of Han suddenly became diligent and frequently held court meetings.
Ji Wuye, Zhang Kedi, and the others had a hard time. Unlike King Han, who lived in the palace, they lived outside the palace. Therefore, they had to wake up earlier every morning to rush to the palace in time.
Ji Wuye was reluctant to leave his home. He was simply getting old. It was not easy for an old man to have a good sleep. In addition, the judges were all officials under his command. They had died one after another, which made him in a bad mood recently. His sleep was also affected to a certain extent. It was not easy for him to sleep, but he had to get up early to attend the court meeting. It was not easy.
Fortunately, Ji Wuye's actions earlier didn't draw the fire to him. Instead, the man named Su Xuan took over the investigation.
Could he know the latest progress of the other party's investigation during today's court meeting?
Zhang Kai was very curious.
Ji Wuye was also curious. If it weren't for the fact that he had already pocketed 100,000 taels of gold, he wouldn't have bothered to give up his gentle home every day and wake up early to attend court meetings.
According to his subordinates, that person went to Soul Break Valley to investigate the case. That person really thought that the loss of military pay was the work of a ghost.
So, he was able to find clues?
Ji Wuye wanted to see Su Xuan make a fool of himself.
Following which, many officials and ministers took their positions in the palace.
King Han sat on his throne and went straight to the point, talking about the main matter.
"Ever since the ghost soldiers robbed the army and the ghosts and gods demanded their lives, the city has been in a state of panic recently. I was also extremely frightened. Fortunately, Mr. Su has remarkable abilities and helped me.”
" Found it?!"
"He really found it?"
The moment King Han said this, the ministers in the court looked at each other and discussed. It was impossible to say that they were not shocked.
Ji Wuye's pupils constricted slightly.
He did not expect King Han to give such an answer.
He subconsciously wanted to say,'Impossible!'
The military pay was still in his hands. Moreover, he had hidden it extremely well. It was impossible for outsiders to find it.
At this moment, King Han said,"Mr. Su!”
Su Xuan slowly stepped into the court once again and bowed to King Han.
When the prime minister saw Su Xuan, he immediately asked," Mister Su, did you really find the lost pay?”
If it was in the past, he would have kept a respectful distance from wandering warlocks like Su Xuan. He admired the arts of Confucianism and respected ghosts and gods. However, he had to admit that Su Xuan had indeed helped the Han Country a lot.
If Su Xuan hadn't summoned the rain that day, who knew how long the drought would have lasted and how it would have affected the people of Han.
Today, if Su Xuan were to help them find their lost pay, it would be another great merit.
Su Xuan met her gaze and calmly said,""I'm proficient in Ethereal Opening and can communicate with ghosts and gods. In order to find the lost military pay, I personally went to the Soul Break Valley. That's where the military pay was lost.”
"The result was beyond my expectations!”
"According to the ghosts and deities wandering in the Soul Break Valley, they didn't rob the army.”
"According to them, the military pay disappeared on its own when it encountered the water!”
"Nonsense!" Ji Wuye's voice was cold as he reprimanded Su Xuan." Are you using the excuse of ghosts and gods to absolve yourself because you can't find any clues?”
He knew very well what was going on with the military pay. He didn't expect that Su Xuan would discover that the military pay had disappeared on its own without interrogating the guards.
However, Su Xuan's mistake was that he had used the words of a ghost to explain it.
He knew very well whether there were ghosts or gods.
There was no such thing as a ghost soldier, so Su Xuan's words were an out-and-out lie.
"Great General doesn't seem to believe me!”Su Xuan didn't get angry. He faced Ji Wuye and said,""However, this is the truth!"
Some of Ji Wuye's subordinates also questioned Su Xuan when they heard their boss speak.
"Great General is right. The disappearance of the army's pay when it came into contact with water is too unbelievable. If it's not the work of a ghost, it's really difficult to explain this matter!”
All the officials looked at Su Xuan at the same time, wanting to see how he would explain himself.
"Actually, it's not difficult to explain!" Su Xuan replied calmly," The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things. In this world, there are some ores that are similar to gold. As far as I know, there's a type of ore known as 'Water Dissipates Gold'. It melts when it comes into contact with water and burns when it comes into contact with fire!”
"If the military pay was secretly replaced with water dissipation gold before being escorted, it wouldn't be strange if it suddenly disappeared when it encountered rain!”
The prime minister keenly grasped a key word in Su Xuan's words." You're saying that the ghost soldiers 'robbery was man-made?”
"Not only was the ghost soldiers robbing us of our pay, but the ghost gods and ghosts were also man-made!”Su Xuan replied.
"Water Dispelling Gold? What a good excuse!" Ji Wuye's heart trembled. He didn't expect Su Xuan to figure out the truth of the gold so quickly. However, he didn't show any fear on his face. His eyes were cold as he looked at Su Xuan and said,""Even if this matter was man-made, you still haven't found the lost military pay!”
"Looks like the Great General's memory isn't very good!”Su Xuan met Ji Wuye's gaze without any fear." General, have you forgotten what Your Majesty said earlier?”
During the court session, King Han had said that Su Xuan had already found the whereabouts of the missing soldiers.
When Ji Wuye thought of this, he was stunned and his eyes flickered.
Could it be that this fellow had really found the whereabouts of the army's pay?
Then, he dispelled this guess.
Even if Su Xuan found out that the loss of the army's pay was man-made and guessed that the gold that had disappeared was the Water Dissipating Gold, it was impossible for him to find the whereabouts of the lost pay.
"According to what you said, where are those military salaries hidden now?”
"In Xin Zheng City!" Su Xuan's words were firm.
"Xin Zheng City?"
All the officials in the court were stunned when they heard this.
The 100,000 gold taels of military pay had been replaced by someone else. That person did not hide the military pay elsewhere, but in the city? That person must be a fool.
Ji Wuye was even more certain that Su Xuan was spouting nonsense.
"Oh? Since you know the whereabouts of the military pay, why don't you tell me quickly so that you can get it back as soon as possible?”
Su Xuan wasn't anxious." Of course, we have to get back the lost military pay, but capturing the audacious mastermind who replaced the pay is also an extremely important matter.”
"Who has the guts to change the pay of the border troops?”Ji Wuye's words were filled with mockery. He was already prepared to see Su Xuan make a fool of himself, but before that, he didn't mind finishing the show with Su Xuan.
"Great General also knows this person!" Su Xuan said.
"Do I know him?" Ji Wuye was puzzled.
" This person is extremely rich," Su Xuan said." He has a nickname: Jade Tiger!”
