Chapter 231: Trap

"If that's the case, then..."

King Han was about to make a decision immediately and finalize the matter.

"etc!"

Ji Wuye suddenly spoke up.

"What do you think, my humble general?"

King Han is the king of a country, but when he faced Ji Wuye, his eyes were evasive and fearful.

Opening his eyes to take in this scene, he became more determined to overthrow Ji Wuye.

"I think this matter is inappropriate."

Ji Wuye's eyes were fierce.

"Why?"

"There is one thing that I am about to report to the king. One hundred thousand military pay that was supposed to be sent to the border has been mysteriously lost!"

"What!"

King Han was shocked. One hundred thousand military pay was not a small amount.

Soldiers on the border are counting on this money to appease them.

Withholding military pay will cause a mutiny in the army!

"When did this happen?"

"Just last night, Lord Longquan and Lord Anping encountered ghost soldiers taking advantage of the way while escorting the soldiers' pay. The soldiers' pay melted in the rain and disappeared. They must have been snatched away by the ghost soldiers!"

"absurd!"

He opened his eyes and said indignantly: "The ghost soldiers took advantage of this, General Ji is trying to fool the king and me like three-year-old children!"

Where in this world do ghost soldiers come from! There must be a thief disguised as a ghost soldier and steal the military pay secretly! "

As he spoke, he stared at Ji Wuye with his open eyes. He was 100% sure that the so-called ghost soldiers borrowed the passage was the work of Ji Wuye who directed and acted on his own.

The purpose is to embezzle 100,000 military pay and enrich his own pockets!

"Zhang Xiang is simply a slanderer."

Ji Wuye sneered: "The military pay melted into the water and disappeared. This was seen by Longquan Lord Anping Lord, the two princes, and thousands of escorting soldiers! How could it be faked!"

"this……"

Kaifeng was speechless for a moment. He had read many books of sages, but he could not explain the cause of this strange phenomenon.

He understood that this must be Ji Wuye's trick, but if he said it in vain, King Han would only think that he was making trouble unreasonably.

“Your Majesty, I believe that in order to ensure the morale of the soldiers on the border, the top priority is to recover these 100,000 taels of military pay as soon as possible, or to fill the gap.

Instead of organizing the wedding for Princess Honglian.

You know, when a princess of a country gets married, the etiquette is grand, the dress is required, and the cost is quite high. At such a critical moment, it is really not appropriate to be extravagant and wasteful! "

Ji Wuye made an impassioned speech. If you didn't know better, you would have thought that he was a loyal minister who dedicated his life to South Korea.

Kaifeng secretly despised in his heart, how could this vulgar warrior have such literary talent? This must have been written by his staff before he went to court.

For a while, Kaifangdi had nothing to do with Ji Wuye, because no matter what the reason was, if one hundred thousand military pay was lost, it was lost.

The one hundred thousand military pay was not silver or copper coins, but solid gold.

With South Korea's current national strength, it is indeed impossible to spend another 100,000 taels of gold to fill the vacancy in a short period of time.

This is indeed an urgent matter and must be resolved as a priority.

"The general's words make sense..."

Han Wangan felt embarrassed, why was the military salary lost at such a critical moment?

Ji Wuye was extremely proud, knowing that he had successfully disturbed the good things in Kaifangdi.

The night he established covered the whole of South Korea secretly from the four aspects of military, government, finance and espionage. There was no information in the whole of South Korea that he did not know.

Although Kaifangdi's scheme was sophisticated and he did a good job of keeping it secret, he still got the news from Sheng Yike the day before.

After that, he asked his staff to discuss countermeasures overnight, and this was how he completely suppressed Kaidai today.

And this is not over yet!

Ji Wuye added: "The case of ghost soldiers robbing wages must be investigated."

King Han nodded and said: "The general's words are reasonable... Could it be that the general wants to recommend himself to investigate this case?"

"That's not the case. I am a military general and not good at investigating cases, but I do have a good candidate here!"

"Oh, who would the general recommend?"

King Han became interested.

"That's the place to open, Mr. Zhang!"

Ji Wuye laughed.

"Zhang Xianggui is the head of the civil service, so it would be easy to investigate the case!"

"certainly!"

Seeing Ji Wuye proactively recommending him, Kai Kai had an ominous premonition in his heart and vaguely guessed that there was a big conspiracy involved.

But what Ji Wuye said just now had already provoked him. If he chose to deny it, wouldn't it mean that he was incompetent?

"Hahaha, Prime Minister Zhang is wise, and it won't take long to solve the case. If not, let Prime Minister Zhang take charge of this matter, the case will be solved within ten days!

And if the case is not solved after ten days...hehe, then Zhang Xiang is just a person who is just trying to gain fame and reputation! "

Ji Wuye sneered again and again.

"Ten days!"

It is not good to open a secret passage, the ghost soldiers robbed, and one hundred thousand taels of gold disappeared out of thin air in front of everyone. It is difficult to investigate. If there is another ten days limit, he will not be able to complete it even if he has ten heads!

Just when Kaifeng was about to ask King Han to grant him some more time, King Han nodded matter-of-factly.

"Well, Prime Minister Zhang is a veteran minister in the court and very resourceful. Ten days will definitely be enough.

One hundred thousand taels of military pay have been lost, which has a huge impact. I hope Prime Minister Zhang will solve the case within ten days, otherwise I will not be merciful and take the face of the monarch and his ministers into consideration. "

"This...thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I obey your order."

Jun Wu said, once the decree is issued, it will not be changed. This is related to the emperor's prestige and cannot be changed overnight.

I was so miserable that I couldn't express my pain, so I could only break my teeth and swallow it into my stomach to continue the hard work.

………………

Zhang Kaidi returned to his house and immediately consulted with his grandson.

"Grandfather said that Princess Honglian's marriage was not implemented, and you were tricked by Ji Wuye. You have to solve the case of the ghost soldiers' robbery within ten days?"

"Yes!"

Zhang Kaidi complained bitterly, scolding Ji Wuye for being cunning and treacherous and setting a trap for him in the court.

"The mother's hole, the dog-bitch Ji Wuye!"

Zhang Kaidi cursed.

Zhang Liang turned a deaf ear to it and carefully checked the files Zhang Kaidi brought back, and found it very difficult.

This case is full of doubts, with the confessions of thousands of soldiers and two princes. It is impossible to make a false claim that 100,000 taels of gold disappeared out of thin air.

Zi does not talk about strange powers and gods. Zhang Liang is a Confucian disciple. He keeps a distance from ghosts and gods and does not believe them.

But after reading for a long time, Zhang Liang did not find any clues, especially the method of the gold disappearing.

"Could it be that there are really ghosts and gods in this world..."

Zhang Liang's mind was shaken, and he suddenly woke up. He thought about the words of the saints and drove away the thoughts that should not be in his mind.

'This matter needs to be taken care of by Brother Han. '

Han Fei has studied in Xiaoshengxianzhuang for many years. He must have received the true teachings of Xunzi. His wisdom is even better than his.

Time is running out. Zhang Liang said goodbye to his grandfather and immediately went to the palace to find Han Fei.

"Zifang, you are here. How is the matter in the court?"

Han Fei's deep peach blossom eyes flickered.
