Simultaneous travel: Each of me has a different golden finger

Chapter 231 Settlement
"In that case, then ..."

The King of Han was about to make the decision and finalize the matter.

"and many more!"

Ji Wuye suddenly spoke.

"What does my great general think?"

The King of Han was the king of a country, but when facing Ji Wuye, he avoided looking at him with fear in his eyes.

Zhang Kaidi took this scene in, and became more determined to overthrow Ji Wuye.

"I think this is inappropriate."

Ji Wuye's eyes were ferocious.

"Why?"

"There is one thing I was about to report to the king. The 100,000 military pay that was supposed to be sent to the border was mysteriously lost!"

"what!"

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

The soldiers on the border are counting on this money to appease them.

Withholding military pay may cause a mutiny in the army!
"when did it happen?"

"Just last night, Lord Longquan and Lord Anping were escorting military pay when they encountered ghost soldiers who wanted to borrow their way. The military pay melted in the rain and disappeared. It must have been taken away by the ghost soldiers!"

"absurd!"

Zhang Kai was indignant: "The ghost soldiers are borrowing our way. General Ji, are you treating the king and me like three-year-old children?
Where in the world do ghost soldiers come from! There must be thieves who disguised themselves as ghost soldiers and secretly robbed the military pay!"

As he spoke, he stared at Ji Wuye with his eyes fixed. He was 100% sure that the so-called ghost soldiers borrowing the road was the work of Ji Wuye himself.

The purpose is to embezzle 100,000 military pay and enrich himself!
"Zhang Xiang is simply slandering me."

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

"This……"

Zhang Kaidi 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 Ji Wuye must be behind this, but if he just kept talking, the King of Han would only think that he was being unreasonable.

“Your Majesty, I believe that in order to maintain the morale of the soldiers on the border, the most urgent task is to recover the 100,000 taels of military pay as soon as possible, or to fill the gap.

Instead of arranging a wedding for Princess Honglian.

You know, when a princess of a country gets married, the ceremony is very grand and requires three miles of red makeup, which costs a lot of money. At such a critical moment, it is really not appropriate to waste money!"

Ji Wuye spoke passionately. If you didn't know him, you would think he was a loyal minister who devoted his life to the country of Korea.

Zhang Kaidi secretly despised him in his heart, wondering how this crude and crude warrior could have such literary talent. This must have been a plan prepared by his staff before he went to court.

But for a while, Zhang Kaidi was helpless against Ji Wuye, because no matter what the reason was, the 100,000 military pay was lost.

The 100,000 military pay was not in the form of silver or copper coins, but in the form of real gold.

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

This is truly a pressing matter and must be addressed as a priority.

"General, what you said makes sense..."

Han Wangan felt embarrassed. How could the military pay be lost at such a critical moment?

Ji Wuye was extremely proud, knowing that he had successfully disrupted Zhang Kaidi's plans.

The Night Sky he established secretly covered the entire South Korea from the military, political, financial and espionage aspects. There was no intelligence in the whole South Korea that he did not know.

Although Zhang Kaidi's plan was sophisticated and he did a good job of keeping it secret, he still got the news from the Shameful Man the day before.

Afterwards, he asked his staff to discuss countermeasures overnight, which led to the situation where he completely suppressed Zhang Kaidi today.

And this is not over yet!
Ji Wuye said again: "The case of the ghost soldiers robbing the money must be investigated." King Han nodded and said: "General, what you said makes sense... Could it be that the general wants to recommend himself to investigate this case?"

"That's not the case. I'm a military commander and not good at investigating cases. But I do have a very good candidate!"

"Oh, who does the general want to recommend?"

The King of Han became interested.

"That means opening the ground and Zhang Xiang!"

Ji Wuye laughed.

"Zhang Xianggui is the head of the civil service, so I think investigating the case should be a piece of cake!"

"Of course!"

When Zhang Kaidi saw Ji Wuye taking the initiative to recommend him, a bad premonition flashed through his mind, and he vaguely guessed that there was a big conspiracy behind this.

But Ji Wuye's words just now have already put him in a difficult position. If he chooses to deny it, wouldn't that mean he is incompetent?
"Hahaha, Prime Minister Zhang is very wise, it won't take long to solve the case. Why don't we let Prime Minister Zhang take charge of this matter, and the case will be solved within ten days!
And if the case is not solved after ten days...ha, that prime minister is just a name in vain, a man who seeks fame and reputation!"

Ji Wuye sneered repeatedly.

"Ten days!"

Zhang Kai thought to himself that this was not good. The ghost soldiers had robbed the place and one hundred thousand taels of gold had disappeared in plain sight of everyone. This sounded difficult to investigate. If there were another ten days left, he would not be able to complete the task even if he had ten heads!
Just when Zhang Kaidi was about to ask King Han to extend some time, King Han nodded seriously.

"Well, Prime Minister Zhang is an old minister in the court, he is very resourceful, ten days should be enough.

The loss of 100,000 taels of military pay has a huge impact. I hope Prime Minister Zhang can solve the case within ten days, otherwise I will not show mercy and take the emperor and his subjects into consideration."

"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will obey your orders."

The emperor never jokes. Once an order is issued, it will not be changed. This concerns the prestige of the emperor, and orders cannot be changed overnight.

Zhang Kaidi felt so bitter that he could not express it in words. He could only grit his teeth and swallow it, taking on this tough job.

………………

Zhang Kaidi returned home and immediately discussed the matter with his grandson.

"Grandfather is saying that Princess Honglian's marriage has not been finalized, and you have been tricked by Ji Wuye, so you have to solve the case of the ghost soldier robbery within ten days?"

"Yes!"

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

"That's his mother's hole, the bitch sheep Ji Wuye!"

Opening his mouth he cursed.

Zhang Liang turned a deaf ear to it and carefully reviewed the files brought back by Zhang Kai, and found them very difficult to deal with.

There are many suspicious points in this case. With the confessions of thousands of soldiers and two princes, the disappearance of 100,000 taels of gold cannot be false.

Confucius does not talk about ghosts, gods, or the like. Zhang Liang was a disciple of Confucianism. He kept his distance from the concept of ghosts and gods and did not believe in them.

But after reading for a long time, Zhang Liang still couldn't find any clues, especially the method by which the gold disappeared.

"Is there really a ghost in this world..."

Zhang Liang's mind was shaken and he suddenly woke up. He thought about the words of the sage and drove away the inappropriate thoughts in his mind.

"We need to let Brother Han come over to take a look at this matter."

Han Fei studied in Xiaoshengxianzhuang for many years and must have inherited Xunzi's true teachings. His wisdom and strategy were even greater than Xunzi's.

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

"Zifang, you are here. How are things going in the court?"

Han Fei's deep peach blossom eyes flickered.
