Qin's Moon: I'm really not the Holy Lord of the Demonic Sect

Chapter 137 No evidence? I'll make one up for you.

News of what happened in Nanyang quickly reached Xinzheng. When Ji Wuye learned that Fei Cuihu had been captured by Yang Che and that Yang Che had also confiscated his property, he was instantly furious.

Yang Che knew that Fei Cui Hu was his man, yet he still dared to attack him. Was he really taking down Fei Cui Hu? He was slapping Ji Wuye in the face. If he couldn't even protect his own people, who would want to follow him, the great general, in the future?

Although Nightfall is a powerful organization, it cannot afford the loss of Emerald Tiger. It is important to understand that the more powerful an organization is, the greater its financial resources become. As one of Nightfall's four most powerful generals, Emerald Tiger is in charge of wealth. If Emerald Tiger is lost, it will be a fatal blow to Nightfall's operations.

"Your Majesty, Yang Sikong's actions are utterly outrageous! Fei Cuihu is the richest man in our country, and his annual tax payments are equivalent to those of ten thousand people. Yang Sikong's wanton arrest of our great merchants is appalling. If this were to spread to other countries, which merchant would still be willing to do business in our country?"

In the Han King's palace, Ji Wuye roared loudly. He was used to being arrogant and domineering. Even when he was in the wrong, he was still imposing. Now that he was in the right, wasn't he even more arrogant?

"The matter of Jade Tiger has already been reported to me by the Minister of Works. He said that Jade Tiger colluded with the Qin State and was preparing to offer Nanyang to the Qin State. That's why the Minister of Works arrested Jade Tiger and confiscated his property," King Han An said calmly, ignoring Ji Wuye's roar.

"Your Majesty, Jade Tiger is just a commoner merchant. How could he possibly collude with the Qin Kingdom? To put it bluntly, even if he wanted to, the Qin Kingdom might not even consider him a worthy opponent," Ji Wuye retorted.

"General, you just said that Jade Tiger is the richest man in Korea, and his influence in Korea, especially in Nanyang, is extraordinary." Zhang Kai, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up, and his words hit Ji Wuye right where it hurt.

"The richest man is just the richest man," Ji Wuye retorted instinctively.

Zhang Kaidi didn't refute this time, he just chuckled.

But that chuckle only fueled Ji Wuye's anger even more: "Your Majesty, we must recall Yang Sikong as soon as possible. If he continues to cause trouble in Nanyang, our Han state will be in chaos."

That's true. However, the current chaos in Nanyang is an opportunity for Nanyang. Otherwise, you Nightfall would really have succeeded. Zhang Kai thought to himself, and he wholeheartedly supported Yang Che's actions in Nanyang.

The idea of ​​wiping out the Jade Tiger family and revitalizing the entire Nanyang is, in any case, a brilliant strategy.

Those who can come up with this idea may not have the guts, and those who have the guts may not have the wisdom to do so.

Zhang Kaidi greatly admired Yang Che, but he actually opposed Yang Che's appointment as Minister of Works at such a young age. He felt that Han Wang An's move was somewhat like forcing a seedling to grow too fast, and that it was too dangerous to suddenly promote Yang Che to such a high position.

However, it seems that Han Wang An was more discerning in judging people. Yang Che had only just taken office when he cut off Ji Wuye's arm. Even if Ji Wuye eventually managed to get the Emerald Tiger out, the Emerald Tiger would still suffer a great loss, which could be considered a blow to Ji Wuye.

Thinking this through, Zhang Kai made up his mind to properly train his colleague and prevent Ji Wuye from rescuing Emerald Tiger too easily.

In Zhang Kaidi's view, Fei Cuihu was indeed wronged. Fei Cuihu was certainly not a good person, but Ji Wuye made a good point: Fei Cuihu was not qualified to collude with the Qin state.

But what if Jade Tiger is wronged? As long as the situation in Nanyang can be salvaged, it's worth it even if a few more Jade Tigers are wronged.

Sacrificing one Jade Tiger for the happiness of the whole of Nanyang—Zhang Kaidi has calculated this very clearly.

"Yeah, the richest man is just the richest man." Zhang Kaidi, who had his own plans in mind, still chuckled, but his laughter was particularly infuriating.

"Your Majesty, we must recall the Minister of Works to Xinzheng as soon as possible to thoroughly investigate the Jade Tiger case. We cannot allow the Minister of Works to continue to act with impunity in Nanyang."

Ji Wuye wished he could devour Zhang Kaidi for making sarcastic remarks, but he was just used to being arrogant and domineering, not lacking in brains. Here, the one who truly had the power to make decisions was Han Wang'an, not Zhang Kaidi. Arguing with Zhang Kaidi a hundred times was not as effective as Han Wang'an making a single statement.

Han Wang An remained silent for a while, but still decided to give Ji Wuye face. In his opinion, given Yang Che's personality, he had already confiscated most of Fei Cui Hu's property in Nanyang. At this point, even if Yang Che was summoned back to Nanyang, it wouldn't be a big deal. Fei Cui Hu's property that had been taken away was unlikely to be returned.

The most important thing now is Jade Tiger's family fortune; whether Jade Tiger himself was wronged or not is not important.

"Granted." King Han An's order was relayed to Nanyang.

Yang Che, who was using the Jade Tiger's assets to transact grain from the State of Wei, had no choice but to entrust the business to Zhang Liang, while he himself took the Jade Tiger to Xinzheng.

Almost immediately upon arriving in Xinzheng, Yang Che was summoned to the Han King's Palace.

"Evidence? Who said I have no evidence? Can I arrest someone without evidence? General, do you think I'm one of those people who frame others for their own selfish reasons? I'm not that despicable." In Han Wang An's study, Yang Che spoke eloquently, appearing righteous and self-assured.

Seeing Yang Che lying through his teeth, Ji Wuye was furious and wished he could rush up and kill him.

"Where is the evidence?" Ji Wuye demanded.

"This is the evidence," Yang Che said, pulling something out of his sleeve.

As the object was pulled out, Ji Wuye, Han Wang'an, and Zhang Kaidi all widened their eyes.

What did they see?

A scroll.

A reel is nothing special, but what if this reel is a Black Dragon reel?

The Black Tornado Scroll could only be used by the Qin state to transmit top secrets, reaching directly to the Qin state's power center. Currently, only two and a half people in the Qin state could use the Black Tornado Scroll: King Zheng of Qin was one, the Queen Dowager of Zhao was another, and even the powerful Lu Buwei could only be counted as half.

Why was Yang Che able to pull out the Black Tornado Scroll?

Did you copy it from Emerald Tiger?

Is this evidence that the Jade Tiger colluded with the Qin state?

For a moment, even Ji Wuye began to doubt himself. Could it be that Emerald Tiger had really colluded with the Qin state?

Otherwise, why would Yang Che be able to produce something like the Black Tornado Scroll?

Could that fat man with a big head and big ears really be a traitor?

Ji Wuye fell into deep doubt, and at this moment, he was no longer willing to trust his trusted confidants.

"Your Majesty, this is the evidence. This black scroll contains evidence of the Jade Tiger's collusion with the Qin State." Yang Che opened the black scroll and presented it to King Han An.

King Han An grabbed the black scroll and quickly scanned it, already convinced that Jade Tiger was colluding with the Qin state.

"Damn it, how hateful! How dare a mere merchant do this! Jade Tiger deserves to die! Minister of Works, I hereby order you to take your men and immediately exterminate Jade Tiger's entire clan!" King Han An said through gritted teeth.

"promise."

This time, Ji Wuye did not stop him, because he himself now believed that Jade Tiger was colluding with the Qin State. Otherwise, the matter of the Black Dragon Roll would be impossible to explain.

Surely the black tornado scroll couldn't be Yang Che's? If it is, why is the content about the jade tiger? Did King Zheng of Qin give Yang Che a blank black tornado scroll?

Such a thing is impossible. Yang Che is no one of King Zheng of Qin.

There's nothing that absurd in this world.

Since nothing so outrageous has happened, there must be only one truth: Jade Tiger did indeed collude with the Qin state, and Jade Tiger is indeed a traitor to Nightfall.

The thought that he had been deceived by the Jade Tiger for so many years filled Ji Wuye with hatred; it was an insult to his intelligence.

He is a bad person and often takes pride in it. Being called a bad person makes him happy, but he cannot tolerate any insult to his intelligence.

Unfortunately, Ji Wuye had no idea that things could be so absurd, and that Yang Che was indeed someone to King Zheng of Qin.

Obtaining a black tornado scroll wouldn't be difficult for Yang Che.
