The Great Qin: Starting with marrying Jingni, I began my quest for immortality.

It is suspected to be the work of a ghost.

Because there was absolutely no trace of anyone else entering the room where he died.

Afterwards, the King of Han appointed a new presiding judge.

Unexpectedly, the new presiding judges also died one after another.

As a result, in addition to the incident of ghost soldiers robbing the pay, the idea of ​​ghost soldiers taking lives also gradually spread among the people.

According to popular belief, this was something the soldiers of Zheng who died tragically in the past did to seek revenge against Han.

Upon hearing this, the King of Han was terrified, but he managed to maintain a shred of rationality. After all, the State of Zheng had been destroyed for many years, and it wasn't something that happened during his lifetime. If those ghost soldiers really wanted to take revenge on Han, they would have done it long ago. Why would they wait until now?

The case has escalated to the point where it's no longer just about ghost soldiers robbing the payroll; it also involves the deaths of these presiding judges.

So, who should take over this case?

At this moment, Ji Wuye, the great general of Korea, known as the strongest general in Korea in a hundred years, stepped forward. Of course, it was not because Ji Wuye volunteered to solve the case.

After Ji Wuye stepped forward, he bluntly stated that the man was a boorish fellow with no talent for solving cases.

But he can recommend someone to solve the case.

This person is none other than Prime Minister Zhang Kaidi.

Only the Prime Minister has the ability to solve such a major case.

King Han, upon hearing this, agreed, finding it to be true.

Even though Zhang Kai wanted to refuse, he was now being roasted over a fire and had no choice but to agree.

Moreover, because the case had been unresolved for so long, the King of Han forced him to sign a military pledge, promising to pay the price if he failed to solve the case, which made Zhang Kaidi feel even more depressed.

Compared to Zhang Kaidi taking over the Ghost Soldier case.

In this process.

The return of a young nobleman named Han Fei to the country was actually a good thing.

Han Fei was a son who was not favored or cared for by the King of Han. He went abroad to study and has now returned to the country, but he is not worth the King of Han's attention. The only relative who cares about Han Fei is his sister Honglian, who is also the little princess of Han.

On the day Han Fei returned, Honglian changed into her favorite new clothes early in the morning, waiting for her brother's return.

at the same time.

Inside the Purple Orchid Pavilion, two figures watched Han Fei's return from beside the window.

"Is he Han Fei?" Zi Nu asked Wei Zhuang, standing beside him.

“Yes.” Wei Zhuang’s eyes flickered as he thought of some past events.

He and Han Fei had actually crossed paths before.

Perhaps Han Fei had long forgotten about that incident.

But for him, this matter remained firmly in his mind.

He was not born outside the country, but in the cold palace of the state of Han, which was once the most prosperous place in the royal palace of the state of Zheng.

After conquering Zheng, the State of Han built a new palace on the site of the original royal palace.

That place gradually fell into disuse and became a cold palace.

Only some sinners were imprisoned there.

Wei Zhuang's mother was a sinner.

She gave birth to Wei Zhuang there, and then raised him to adulthood.

Unfortunately, my mother was frail and often ill.

In addition, with no one to care for her in the cold palace, her mother gradually fell seriously ill and was on the verge of death.

For Wei Zhuang as a child, the thing he did most every day was take care of his mother and go out to find food for her.

Perhaps Han Fei doesn't remember, or perhaps he has long forgotten.

But Wei Zhuang did indeed receive some favors from Han Fei and Princess Honglian when they were young.

For this reason, after his mother passed away, he buried her and left that cold palace, but he still harbored resentment towards Han Fei and Princess Honglian.

Standing by the window, looking at Han Fei and Princess Honglian, Wei Zhuang couldn't help but smile slightly, revealing a gentle and warm smile.

Zi Nu caught Wei Zhuang's smile and was immediately surprised. "You think highly of Han Fei?"

Wei Zhuang's smile faded, and after a moment of silence, he said, "If anyone has the ability and the hope to change this country, then it must be Han Fei."

"Oh?"

Zi Nu was surprised.

Wei Zhuang then said in a deep voice, "Han Fei left the state of Han many years ago to study abroad, and what he sought was the way to save the country."

"I really want to know if his original intentions have changed since his return, or if he is willing to be an unappreciated young master, living a muddled and aimless life?"

……

The answer to this question.

Soon, Wei Zhuang and Zi Nu found out.

Han Fei came to the Purple Orchid Pavilion to drink.

Han Fei was a seasoned drinker, and in the Purple Orchid Pavilion, besides wine, there were also beautiful women to keep him company.

As a young nobleman, Han Fei was not short of money and had no worries about food and clothing.

Naturally, I chose to come to this kind of place to drink.

If it were just drinking, that would be one thing.

On this day, while he was drinking, two more people came to Zilan Pavilion.

The two people were Chancellor Zhang Kaidi and his grandson Zhang Liang (Zhang Zifang).

Zhang Kaidi was brought here by Zhang Liang.

And the one who invited him here was none other than... Han Fei.

Although it is unknown what they discussed during this meeting.

But based on these things alone, Wei Zhuang already knew that Han Fei's desire to save the country had never changed.

The reason for this secret meeting was that Han Fei wanted to get involved in the case of the ghost soldiers in order to advance his career.

Chapter Fifty-Five: A Night Meeting with the Tide Demoness

"You think so highly of Han Fei, it's obvious that Han Fei is very smart."

"Since he is a smart man, he should understand how terrifying Ji Wuye is."

"Actively contacting Zhang Kaidi and getting involved in the Ghost Soldier case is not a good thing, regardless of whether the case is solved or not."

"If the case is solved, Ji Wuye will lose 100,000 taels of gold in military pay and will definitely hate Han Fei. But if the case is not solved, he will be implicated by Zhang Kaidi..."

Inside the Purple Orchid Pavilion.

After Zhang Kaidi and Han Fei left.

Zi Nu spoke eloquently, telling Wei Zhuang what was going on beside her.

Wei Zhuang remained calm and said softly, "Of course he could see these things, but that's just the kind of person he is. Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to leave Han back then, to go out and study as a prince, seeking a way to save the country."

"Now that he has returned, he must be determined to change this country at all costs."

"So, what are you planning to do?" Zi Nu asked Wei Zhuang.

Wei Zhuang said in a deep voice, "It's quite a coincidence that I also want to change this country."

As he said this, Wei Zhuang couldn't help but picture a cold palace, a bronze mirror, and a mottled face reflected in it.

This country is too dark; it is utterly corrupt.

It's time to break with the old and start anew, to change things completely.

"Have we already figured out the truth about the so-called ghost soldiers robbing our pay?"

"Of course, we should help Han Fei solve this case."

Zi Nu remained silent.

The following day, Han Fei received a letter.

He didn't know who delivered the letter.

All he knew was that when he woke up in the morning, the letter was on his bedside table.

The letter was also very brief.

It is said that there is a treasure exchange event held in the Hidden Dragon Hall outside the city, where clues are hidden.

After a moment's thought, Han Fei went to the Hidden Dragon Hall.

When he returned, he had a small, cleverly designed box in his hand.
