The reforms were carried out vigorously at the time, and so far, they have achieved some results.

At least, the King of Han was very satisfied.

After executing many corrupt officials, the court was temporarily empty, but there were plenty of people who wanted to become officials. If he wanted, he could promote some new talents at any time to fill the court.

What pleased the King of Han the most was that after confiscating the residences of these people, a great deal of wealth was found, which greatly enriched the national treasury of Han.

The King of Han had never fought such a rich war before.

It feels so good to have a full treasury.

However, this day was somewhat special.

One official after another stepped forward.

It turned out that the lawsuit against Blood-Clad Marquis Bai was not about corruption or bribery.

This was something no one expected.

Some even attempted suicide to protest, but by the time the King of Han sent men to stop them, it was too late. Later, letters written by the man were found on his person, all of which contained evidence of the Blood-Clad Marquis's corruption and abuse of power.

If it were just one person saying that, it would be fine, but one after another, people came to accuse the Blood-Clad Marquis.

Earlier, because of the Blood-Clad Marquis's reforms, the King of Han chose to execute corrupt officials in order to uphold the law of the land.

Now, as someone sets their sights on Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei.

King Han suddenly felt a headache coming on.

King Han was aware that neither Ji Wuye, the former general, nor Bai Yifei, the current Blood-Clad Marquis, had clean hands. This was something he tolerated, as he considered it a minor matter.

The general has done a great job in safeguarding national security, so why not be a little greedy? After all, so many people are greedy.

As for the earlier handling of corrupt officials...

That was also to give face to General Bai Yifei.

Bai Yifei, as the Grand General, pointed out the corrupt and lawless acts of those people. As the King, it would be unreasonable for him not to handle the matter impartially.

Unexpectedly, General Bai Yifei's report of someone's corruption and abuse of power ultimately became the basis for others to report Bai Yifei.

Faced with the public's outrage and their accusations against Bai Yifei's behavior.

The King of Han was in a very difficult situation; it was like a hot potato.

If this isn't addressed, people are even resorting to bloodshed as a form of protest.

As for how to handle it, King Han glanced at Bai Yifei, the Blood-Clad Marquis, who was standing in the court with a calm expression, as still as an ancient well, and hesitated again.

Ultimately, King Han, citing illness, forcibly adjourned the court session.

But everyone knows that this matter is not going to end so easily.

as predicted.

After the court assembly ended, news of what had happened in the imperial court spread throughout Xinzheng.

News of the general's numerous acts of corruption, bribery, and disregard for human life spread far and wide...

It can be said that each of these acts and sins is utterly heinous.

Many people were naturally unwilling to believe that Bai Yifei, who was the dream lover of many young girls in South Korea, had done such a thing.

But this rumor has spread to many places.

In the end, some people still chose to believe.

Some even jointly petitioned the King of Han, demanding a thorough investigation of Bai Yifei, the Marquis of Blood-Clad.

If no investigation is conducted, it will not be enough to appease public anger.

Inside the general's mansion, Jiang Chuan was unaffected by these disturbances. On the contrary, he calmly analyzed the origins of these events.

"The reform has infringed upon the interests of many people. I know that many people are dissatisfied with me because of this. They have chosen to endure it only because I am a general. But if there is an opportunity to retaliate, these people will definitely not let it go."

"Because they don't know when disaster will strike them, in order to survive, they can only try to overthrow me, the great general."

As Jiang Chuan spoke, he couldn't help but sigh, "So, why is it so difficult to simply want to improve the lives of ordinary people and do some good deeds?"

After expressing his feelings, Jiang Chuan revealed the identity of the mastermind behind it all.

"As expected, the mastermind behind all this is... the Net."

"The man in the straw raincoat was once a general of the Nightfall gang and knows a lot of evidence of Bai Yifei's crimes. The Luo Net's plot against the Nightfall failed, and now they can only take revenge on me through these political maneuvering methods."

"If 0.5 is success, then we will lose power; if we fail, only these officials will suffer my retaliation. The net is hidden in Qin, so we will be safe."

"At this point, it's not the end, it's just the beginning!"

Jiang Chuan revealed his speculation.

Everything went as Jiang Chuan had predicted.

The joint lawsuit filed by numerous officials against Bai Yifei, the "Blood-Clad Marquis," is just the beginning.

As long as the King of Han still values ​​Marquis Bai Yifei and needs to rely on him to defend Han, he will not be able to punish Marquis Bai Yifei.

What was truly fatal was a piece of news that spread afterward.

"The current Grand General, Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei, is a fraudster who steals fame and fortune. He is not the real Blood-Clad Marquis at all. The real Blood-Clad Marquis is long dead. The current Blood-Clad Marquis is just a petty scoundrel who disguises himself as the Blood-Clad Marquis. He is a fake!"

Chapter 250 From the Light to the Dark

I don't know who started this rumor.

When the news broke, it shocked the entire South Korean nation.

The Blood-Clad Marquis was actually a fake?

The real Blood-Clad Marquis is already dead?

The current Blood-Clad Marquis is a petty scoundrel who has disguised himself as the Blood-Clad Marquis; he is an imposter.

Who exactly is this imposter, the Blood-Clad Marquis?

Is this news true or false?

Many people are uncertain and have doubts.

Furthermore, many officials who were originally from Ji Wuye's faction firmly believed that the current Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei was an imposter, and they demanded that the King of Han thoroughly investigate the matter.

Why would they do that? Of course, there are reasons.

After Ji Wuye's death, they all actively sided with Bai Yifei.

I originally thought Bai Yifei was the same person as Ji Wuye, since Bai Yifei and Ji Wuye were initially on the same side.

At first, everything was normal.

They were engaging in corrupt and illegal activities with Bai Yifei. Bai Yifei, as the general, took the lion's share, while they took the smaller share. However, this situation did not last long.

After reappearing after disappearing for several months, the first thing Bai Yifei, the Blood-Clad Marquis, did was to implement reforms.

Many colleagues were executed in connection with the 27th Reform.

Those who are still alive, even though they were less greedy, were still greedy in the end.

As the reforms proceeded in full swing, they were forced to give back what they had gained to feed the common people, which made them very resentful. In addition, they lived in constant fear, afraid that they would be executed by the Blood-Clad Marquis one day.

In this situation, they both feared and resented the instigator, Marquis Xueyi.

I don't understand why the Marquis in Blood Robe has become like this.

While the Blood-Clad Marquis of the past may have had an eccentric personality, he was never this extreme.

Then, a group of mysterious people came before them.

They were told the truth.

The current Blood-Clad Marquis is a fake, a fraudster who killed the real Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei and is now an imposter.

The real Blood-Clad Marquis is long dead.

This explains why the Marquis in Blood Robe's personality changed so drastically.

Some officials even believe that the months during which the Blood-Clad Marquis disappeared were the time when the other party replaced him.

Because the real Blood-Clad Marquis was dead, that person saw an opportunity, so he disguised himself as the Blood-Clad Marquis, entered the General's Mansion, and took his place.

The earlier accusations by numerous officials against Marquis Xueyi for corruption and abuse of power have yet to be resolved, and a great deal of evidence is currently laid out on the desk in front of King Han. Now, this has happened again.

The King of Han was deeply worried.

Is this rumor true or false?

Has Bai Yifei, the Marquis of Blood Robe, been replaced?

King Han pondered for a long time but could not come up with a definite answer.

But deep down, some doubts did arise in his heart.

Because her temperament changed so drastically.

After disappearing for several months, Bai Yifei reappeared and immediately began implementing reforms.

At first, the King of Han didn't think much of it, but now he's becoming increasingly suspicious.
