This wasn't the first time Wei Zhuang had shown interest in Su Xuan.
When he heard that the King of Han had chosen Su Xuan as the candidate to investigate the case…
He had once developed a great interest in Su Xuan.
This was because if the rumors were true, Su Xuan was a person that was somewhat unbelievable.
Summoning the wind and rain only existed in myths and legends. In the end, not only did Su Xuan manage to do it, but it wasn't a scam either. He had actually resolved the drought in Han Country.
However, unlike Han Fei, although Wei Zhuang wanted to see Su Xuan, he was not in a hurry to think of a way to meet him. He believed that as long as Su Xuan was still in the Han Kingdom, they would meet sooner or later.
This was especially so now that Su Xuan had used the excuse of ghosts and gods to eliminate the Jade Tiger, one of the Four Vicious Generals of the Night, and had deeply offended Ji Wuye.
Ji Wuye probably already had killing intent towards this person.
Coincidentally, he also disliked Ji Wuye. The few people in the Purple Orchid Pavilion wanted to deal with Ji Wuye.
Perhaps, they could pull this Mister Su Xuan into the quicksand.
After all, they had the same goal in dealing with Ji Wuye.
……
General Manor.
Ever since the Jade Tiger was captured by the Han King, his mansion was raided, and many of his belongings were used by the Han King to pay for the stolen military pay, Ji Wuye's mood had been extremely bad.
After returning to the residence, he dismissed all the beauties who served him and sat alone on the chair in the hall. There was wine in front of him, but he did not drink it. His expression was ugly, and there was a raging fire burning in his eyes.
The Jade Tiger was not only one of the richest merchants in Han Country, but also one of the Four Vicious Generals of the Night under his command. It could be said that all the money that the Jade Tiger had was his money.
The Jade Tiger colluded with officials from both the military and the government to manipulate the market to accumulate wealth. It seemed like the Jade Tiger was greedy, but in fact, it was all his intention. He wanted to indirectly control the entire Han country's financial transactions through the Jade Tiger.
Once this matter succeeded, he would be in charge of the entire Han Country's finances.
At that time, even if the King of Han was still the King of Han, he would have no choice but to be restricted by him.
However, Ji Wuye had never expected that he would lose a capable subordinate like the Jade Tiger.
Earlier on, he had single-handedly concocted the case of the ghost soldiers robbing the army's pay, and he had turned the case into a matter of ghosts and gods demanding their lives. Apart from embezzling 100,000 taels of gold from the army's pay, he had also successfully eliminated dissidents.
He couldn't help but feel pleased with himself.
In fact, he had already thought of using this matter to completely defeat his old enemy, Zhang Kai Di.
In the end, he did not expect the subsequent development of the matter to exceed his expectations.
First, King Han did not agree to his recommendation and appointed Zhang Kaidi as the chief judge to investigate the case. Instead, he chose the man named Su Xuan to investigate the case.
He had thought that the person named Su Xuan was someone who was capable but only knew how to play tricks. In the end, he had really found out the truth and found the whereabouts of the lost military pay.
To Ji Wuye, Su Xuan's so-called supernatural theory was fine, but the rest of his words were all nonsense and a scam.
But to the King of Han, this was not important.
The important thing was that after the Jade Tiger's family assets were confiscated, the gap caused by the lost military pay had been filled, and there was even a lot of surplus.
Ji Wuye would never look for the reason on himself.
He was the one who had embezzled the 100,000 gold taels of military pay first, causing the Jade Tiger to become the scapegoat.
" Damn it, I was blind that day and didn't see you clearly. If I had known that you would ruin my plans, I would have killed you back then!"”
Before the Jade Tiger met with disaster.
Even though Su Xuan was working for King Han.
However, Ji Wuye had always wanted to subdue Su Xuan for his own use.
Putting aside the mysterious Summoning Wind and Rain, Ji Wuye had also obtained a few of the pills Su Xuan had refined for King Han through the channel of the tide female demon. After tasting them, the effects were truly extraordinary.
However, after this battle ended, no matter how Su Xuan's methods were, Ji Wuye's only thought was to kill him!
No matter how powerful Su Xuan was or how mysterious his methods were, if he couldn't be of use to him, he might as well kill him to prevent him from ruining his plans.
"Black Crow!"
After Ji Wuye's killing intent rose, he immediately called out to someone.
As his voice rang out, black feathers flew down, accompanied by a figure in black feather clothes.
"Inform the tide lady demon to find an opportunity to kill that person!”
King Han did not need such a person by his side.
He alone was enough for the King of Han to favor. There was no need for this man named Su Xuan.
If this man continued to stay by the Han King's side, no one knew if he would ruin his plans in the future.
Therefore, for the sake of the big picture, Ji Wuye was prepared to kill.
After instructing Mo Ya, Ji Wuye thought of the Prime Minister and King Han. He gritted his teeth and said,""These two old fellows!"
If it could be said that the Ghost Soldier Robbery Case was flawless because of his plan, and no one could see through it, then later on, Su Xuan revealed the truth about the missing gold.
Perhaps these two had already guessed the truth.
Zhang Kai Di knew that Jade Tiger had something to do with him, so he took the opportunity to add insult to injury. Han Wang saw that there was someone else behind this case, so he didn't want to cause a bigger commotion, so he pushed the boat with the current and made Jade Tiger a scapegoat. After all, Jade Tiger was a merchant. Even if his military pay disappeared, as long as his family assets were confiscated, it was enough to make up for the missing military pay.
……
In the palace.
After the Ghost Soldier Robbery Case ended, Su Xuan's life returned to normal.
Alchemy, medicine, food, cultivation.
Although the days were monotonous, his strength was indeed rising steadily.
Until someone pushed open the door and barged in.
"Hey, do you really know how to summon ghosts and gods?”
In the entire palace, who else would have the guts to barge into his place and act so rashly, other than the Han King's most beloved youngest daughter, Princess Red Lotus?
Hong Lian seemed to like pink clothes very much. Perhaps it was because her title had the word 'red', but she was still wearing pink clothes today. She came before Su Xuan and looked at him curiously.
"Princess rushed to my place in such a hurry because of this?”
" Then…" Before she could say the word, Hong Lian felt that it was inappropriate. One had to be steady. How could she say that she had come to Su Xuan's place because she had yet to see ghosts and deities at her age? If that were the case, she would appear too unstable.
"Can't I just come and see you if I'm fine?"”
Hong Lian felt that something was amiss.
How could she say such a thing?
Thinking that these words might make people think wrongly, her pretty face could not help but blush slightly.
