Ever since Su Xuan mentioned the Jade Tiger…
Many people in the court took a deep breath.
They were no strangers to this person.
This person was one of the richest merchants in Han Country. His family was extremely wealthy and his life was extravagant. He had once aroused the competitive heart of the nobles. A few years ago, the royal family's Jing Lun Jun had competed with him for wealth. The Jadeite Tiger used gold and jade as its house, pearls as its road, and brocade clothes as firewood. In less than ten days, it had made Lord Jing Lun lose all his property, and even his fief was forcefully bought by the Jadeite Tiger.
Because Jing Lunjun had squandered all his family assets, even the Han King could not say anything.
After this incident, many officials in the Imperial Court treated Jing Lunjun as a joke.
They did not expect to hear the name Jade Tiger again today.
When Ji Wuye heard this name from Su Xuan, he was stunned. The Jade Tiger was his most capable subordinate, one of the four ferocious generals of the Nightfall Organization, and his money bag. Although he didn't know why Su Xuan would think of slandering the Jade Tiger as the culprit who replaced the army's pay.
But at this time, he had to protect the Jade Tiger.
"Impossible!"
Ji Wuye was extremely certain.
"What makes Great General think that it is impossible? Or did the general know the Jade Tiger, so he decided to protect the Jade Tiger after knowing that it was the Jade Tiger who replaced the military pay?”Su Xuan asked Ji Wuye.
His words hit the nail on the head, causing Ji Wuye's expression to instantly darken.
It did not feel good to have his thoughts exposed, but Ji Wuye still said coldly,""I do know the Jade Tiger. He is a famous merchant in our Han Country. He is a kind and charitable person who often gives out money to relieve disasters and build bridges. How could such a person hijack the army's pay?”
"Moreover, in the end, he's just a merchant. Where did he get the ability to replace the pay of the border army?”
"That's right, that's right. Great General is right. We can be considered to have some understanding of the Jade Tiger. It's impossible for him to do such a thing!”
"Yes, that's right!"
After Ji Wuye spoke, many officials who belonged to Ji Wuye's faction hurriedly spoke. For a moment, there was a huge commotion.
They were all Ji Wuye's men, so they knew a little about the existence of the Night Organization.
He knew what kind of person the Jade Tiger was.
If they did not express their stance now, who knew if the general would vent his anger on them when something really happened to the Jade Tiger?
As Ji Wuye and the others attacked, Su Xuan was criticized for a moment, and he seemed to be alone. At this moment, the prime minister could not stand it anymore and continued,""Great General, you are wrong. As far as I know, the Jade Tiger is extravagant and lustful. It is not as kind and charitable as Great General said.”
"Although he is a businessman, if you trace his history, you will find that in the process of his fortune, many officials from both the military and the government helped him…In other words, he has a beneficial relationship with many of us here.”
"If such a person is willing to bribe the military with great benefits, it's not impossible for him to replace the military pay!”
Zhang Kaidi had fought with Ji Wuye for many years, so he had some understanding of the forces under Ji Wuye. Jade Tiger was Ji Wuye's man out and out.
Such a wealthy merchant had caused the Royal Family's Jing Lunjun to go bankrupt a few years ago and had even taken away Jing Lunjun's fief. Yet, no one had come to find trouble with him. This in itself was an inconceivable thing.
This was all because Ji Wuye had protected him from behind.
He had bribed officials from both the military and the government and manipulated the market. Over the years, he had collected a lot of money for Ji Wuye.
If they could take down the Jade Tiger today, it would be a huge blow to Ji Wuye's forces.
He didn't want to miss such a good opportunity to kick someone while they were down.
Following that, he openly expressed his stance.
The officials who belonged to his faction also spoke up one after another.
Although the number of officials in Zhang Kedi's faction could not compete with Ji Wuye, this was the court after all. It was not a fight. Whoever had more people was stronger.
Although both sides were arguing, the one who could really make the decision was still King Han on the throne.
"Enough!"
Seeing that this place was about to become a wet market if this continued, King Han finally spoke.
Ignoring Ji Wuye and Zhang Kedi, he asked Su Xuan,""Mr. Su, you said that the missing military pay was robbed by the Jade Tiger. Do you have any evidence?”
Ji Wuye also looked at Su Xuan coldly.
That's right! He wanted to see what kind of evidence Su Xuan could produce.
Zhang Kai Di also looked at Su Xuan. He wanted to know what evidence Su Xuan had when he said that the Jade Tiger was the culprit behind the robbery.
" That's what the ghost told me!" Su Xuan replied calmly.”
After hearing Su Xuan's words, Zhang Kedi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. So, without concrete evidence, they could only use the words of ghosts and gods?
It seemed that it was impossible to bring down the Jade Tiger today.
Ji Wuye's voice was cold." In the end, you still don't have any concrete evidence.”
"Who knows if the theory of ghosts and gods is true or false?”
"It's just your one-sided words!”
"That might not be the case!" Su Xuan's lips curled into a faint smile. Even at this moment, he was not flustered at all." Didn't you want evidence? Didn't you want to question the theory of ghosts and gods?”
"I can use the Ethereal Opening technique to communicate with the netherworld. I can let everyone see the ghost and hear what the ghost has to say!”
Everyone in the imperial court was shocked.
King Han, who was sitting on the throne, didn't expect Su Xuan to say such a thing. Although Su Xuan said that he could find the lost military pay, he didn't mention any specific methods.
He didn't expect that Su Xuan's so-called method was to let everyone see the ghost and let it tell them the answer.
When he thought about the gusts of Yin wind when Su Xuan used Ethereal Opening, it was already so terrifying even before the ghosts and deities appeared.
What if he showed up? What would it look like?
King Han thought about it and felt a little afraid.
However, with so many people present, he didn't want to show any signs of timidity. He also remembered that Su Xuan was here, so there was nothing to worry about.
Thus, she mustered up her courage and said to Su Xuan,""Mr. Su, since you can summon ghosts and gods, then do your best to let everyone know if ghosts and gods really exist!”
Su Xuan nodded and took out a small sachet.
