" The past generations have been connected to the ghosts and gods, so they need to burn books and pray. The characters contain a unique power. It is said that Cangjie created characters in the past, which frightened the ghosts and gods. Blood rained from the sky because of the power contained in the characters. Even the ghosts and gods were terrified.”
Su Xuan explained the method to communicate with the ghosts and deities.
That was to write down the questions he wanted to ask and then burn them for the ghosts and deities.
King Han did not find it strange.
Even though Su Xuan had used Ethereal Opening once and summoned the Ghost God to learn that the army's pay wasn't robbed by the Ghost God, the Ghost God didn't appear that time.
There were always some differences between when he appeared and when he didn't.
Furthermore, as a person who could summon the wind and rain, as well as ghosts and gods, it was not strange that Su Xuan could speak directly to ghosts and gods.
On the other hand, it was a little troublesome for mortals like them to talk to ghosts and gods.
Although the people present were bewildered by Su Xuan's words, the ghost had indeed appeared.
No one knew how long the ghost would stay here.
They were in the court, and there were people who recorded the events of the court. Very quickly, they brought over cloth, brush, and ink. They opened their mouths and wrote down some questions they wanted to ask on the cloth.
Then, he turned to Su Xuan and asked,"Mister Su, what should we do next?"”
"Give me the cloth!" Su Xuan said.
Open your arms and do as he says.
After receiving the cloth, Su Xuan muttered something as if he was casting a spell. Then, he threw the cloth into the air, and it immediately burned and turned into ashes.
It was unknown if the ghost had received the message and seen the problem written on the cloth.
After another moment.
Someone exclaimed.
" On the ground, everyone, look at the ground…"
Everyone looked over.
He did not know when, but there were many black patterns on the ground. They looked like they were condensed from the ashes of burning cloth. They twisted and twisted, and finally, they condensed into lines of words on the ground.
The words answered Zhang Kai's question.
The army's pay was not robbed by these ghost soldiers.
Under the orders of the immortal master, the ghost soldiers traveled in the dark and finally found the place where the military pay was. The one who stole the military pay was the rich merchant in the south of the city, Jade Tiger!
The ghost summoned by Su Xuan had actually responded. Furthermore, the person who had hijacked the army's pay was really the Jade Tiger.
This was beyond many people's expectations.
The officials of Ji Wuye's faction looked at each other and wanted to say something. However, the appearance of ghosts and gods, coupled with the strangeness of their answers to Zhang Kaidi's questions, were too real. They had no choice but to believe that ghosts and gods really existed in the world.
But should he give up on the Jade Tiger just like that?
As officials of Ji Wuye's faction, they usually took care of the Jade Tiger a lot. Naturally, they also received many benefits from the Jade Tiger during the holidays.
If something happened to the Jade Tiger, they would lose a lot of benefits.
Therefore, before Ji Wuye could speak, the officials who had colluded with the Jade Tiger began to think of words to absolve the Jade Tiger.
However, before they could speak.
King Han was the first to speak." What a good Jade Tiger!”
"Men, capture the Jadeite Tiger immediately and retrieve the lost military pay!”
King Han's words contained deep anger.
It was obvious that they had determined that the Jade Tiger was the culprit who had stolen the army's pay.
If it was just this sentence, there would still be room for negotiation. But the key was that King Han said something else." At the same time, investigate all the officials related to the Jade Tiger. If it wasn't for the help of an insider, it would be impossible for a merchant like him to replace the military pay!”
As soon as this sentence was said, many people who wanted to speak shut their mouths one after another. Everyone was in danger.
Although the night in Han Country was the world of darkness.
But on the surface, the person sitting on the throne was still Han Wangan.
The Han people might not know about Night, but they definitely knew about the Han King.
Following King Han's words.
Everyone knew that the Jade Tiger…was finished.
Even if he wasn't the one who lost the military pay, as long as he was suspected, there was no way he could get away.
After realizing all this, Ji Wuye's face immediately darkened.
If the others wanted to exonerate Jade Tiger because they had received benefits from Jade Tiger, then his words were related to Jade Tiger's interests. It could be said that the money Jade Tiger earned was essentially his money.
Now that the Jade Tiger was wanted by King Han, it meant that he would lose his most important money bag.
Ji Wuye had never thought that he would be in so much trouble after embezzling 100,000 taels of gold.
If there was a next time, he would definitely take the military pay, but at the same time, he had to get rid of that person first.
He looked at Su Xuan, his eyes burning with rage. He wanted nothing more than to kill Su Xuan.
……
The Jade Tiger had fallen!
No matter how rich this Han Country's number one merchant was, when the Imperial Army that was supposed to protect the Han King's safety barged into his residence, this extravagant merchant still did not have the slightest power to retaliate.
Even if he claimed that he was wronged, no official dared to take the initiative to protect him.
In the end, it was because the one who really wanted to capture the Jade Tiger was King Han.
This was the will of the king!
The night was just a night.
The King of Han was the true ruler of Han Country.
In detail, this was also a cycle of cause and effect. When the Jade Tiger colluded with officials from both the military and the government to wantonly manipulate the market, amassing countless ill-gotten gains and causing countless people to lose their homes, he should have expected that one day, he would receive retribution.
He might be very rich, but in the end, he was just a businessman.
After Shang Yang's reform in Qin State, the status of merchants became lower and lower after the implementation of the policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce. Although Han State had also imitated Qin State's reform and had Shen Buhai's reform, it did not succeed in the end.
However, he had learned from the State of Qin that he valued agriculture and restrained commerce.
Therefore, when the King of Han captured the giant merchant, Jade Tiger, not only did no one dare to stand up for him, but many people clapped their hands and cheered.
He was just a businessman with a low social status. Why was he so rich?
In the past, he could rely on his network of connections to do whatever he wanted. But now, after King Han laid his hands on him, no one could protect him!
As for whether or not he would be able to find the lost military pay after capturing the Jade Tiger, the King of Han was very concerned about it at first, but he did not care much about it later on.
Because he realized that the Jade Tiger was too rich.
The money confiscated from his residence far exceeded a year's pay for the border troops.
