Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 185 The Obsessed Woman Yan Lingji

After a moment's thought, Han Fei decided to press his advantage and confirm that the Jade Tiger had broken the law.

"Is the situation in Nanyang the same as what Honglian described before?"

Han Fei asked seriously.

Zhang Liang nodded, took out a stack of draft paper from his pocket, and handed it to Han Fei with both hands.

In Nanyang, there were hundreds of families who were bullied by the Jade Tiger.

After glancing at the contents of the draft paper, Han Fei was furious and rode his horse to the Han King's Palace.

At this moment, King An of Han was in his study having a maid feed him fruit.

Just as the nearly fifty-year-old King Han An was about to take advantage of the situation, the voice of a eunuch suddenly came from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince requests an audience!"

The eunuch reported respectfully.

"Lao Jiu?"

"What is he here for?"

King Han An's eyes showed displeasure.

Although Han Fei was his son, he didn't like him much because Han Fei not only frequented brothels all day long, but also often caused him trouble!

"Let him in!"

After more than ten breaths, King Han said.

After speaking, he waved his sleeve to dismiss those around him, sat up straight, and resumed his usual solemn demeanor.

Soon, Han Fei arrived in front of King An of Han.

"Your subject Han Fei greets Your Majesty!"

Han Fei bowed respectfully.

"No gift."

King Han An waved his hand.

"Ninth Brother, you came all of a sudden, did something happen again?"

King Han asked directly.

Han Fei is now the Minister of Justice, in charge of criminal law. If he comes uninvited, what good can come of it?

"Yes."

Han Fei nodded.

"What happened this time?"

Han Wang An asked in an annoyed tone.

You can handle whatever you need to do. Why are you coming to me?
If I were to handle everything, what would be the point of having you all?
"Father."

"In recent years, Jade Tiger has been bullying men and women in Nanyang, causing countless people to die unjustly."

"Those who knowingly break the law deserve a double punishment, and according to the law, they should be executed!"

Han Fei said seriously.

At this time, King Han An was unaware that Jade Tiger had been killed.

"Old Nine, are you referring to Jade Tiger buying women?"

"General Ji has told me about this matter."

“Nanyang is not like Xinzheng. People who can't make a living sell their daughters. We can't let the people exchange their own children for each other…”

King Han An disagreed with this, because many of the beauties in the harem were "bought" from Nanyang by Jade Tiger.

But before he could finish speaking, Han Fei interrupted him.

"Father, you are mistaken!"

"The Jade Tiger isn't being bought, it's being stolen!"

"And this resulted in the deaths of many innocent civilians!"

Han Fei spoke frankly.

After speaking, he stepped forward, took out the confession of the people of Nanyang that he had prepared in advance from his pocket, and placed it on the table.

Upon witnessing this scene, King Han An's brows, which were gradually turning white, furrowed slightly.

Then he squinted at the confession.

"If what the people say in their testimonies is true, then this matter does indeed need to be investigated."

After glancing through it briefly, King Han An said nonchalantly.

He didn't care about the lives of ordinary people at all; what he cared about more was who would serve him tonight.

"Father."

"A thousand-mile dam can be breached by a single ant hole."

"If this matter is not thoroughly investigated, it won't be long before the people of Nanyang rebel!"

"The states of Qin and Chu have long coveted our South Korea. If internal problems arise in our South Korea, we will be in danger of national extinction!"

Han Fei threatened.

He knew Han An didn't want to become a ruler who would bring about the downfall of his country, so he said it on purpose!

Upon hearing the words "the fall of the kingdom," King An of Han immediately perked up.

Although he didn't care about the lives of ordinary people, he also didn't want to be infamous for eternity!

"In that case, Ninth Brother, you shall thoroughly investigate this matter!"

After a moment of contemplation, King Han An spoke.

"promise!"

Han Fei immediately accepted the order.

Then he bowed and retreated.

The reason he came to see Han Wang'an was because this matter involved the Nightfall organization, and without Han Wang'an's consent, it would be difficult to investigate it thoroughly!
Han Fei didn't care whether Xu Lin sent someone to kill Jade Tiger or not. What Han Fei really cared about was how many things Jade Tiger had done to oppress the people in recent years, and how many things involved Ji Wuye, Bai Yifei, and others.

……

the other side.

Qian Sha sent someone to deliver a thousand taels of gold to the Xu residence.

After receiving the money, Xu Lin put it in the cellar. Then he went to the bathhouse.

He had just returned to his bedroom after taking a shower when the wooden door creaked open.

The person who came into view was none other than Yan Lingji, who was disguised as a man.

"My benefactor, I'm so hungry."

Yan Lingji pursed her lips and said.

Before Xu Lin could reply, she rushed over to him and began to feast.

"benefactor."

"My sister is not only hungry, but also very cold!"

Half an incense stick later, Yan Lingji spoke with a seductive air.

After saying that, she took a big gulp of hot tea, then lowered her head and bit down on the rolled-up clothes.

……

Two days later.

Han Fei arrived in Nanyang.

"You can go back."

Han Fei saw that the soldiers at the entrance of Emerald Manor were drowsy and put on a stern face.

Then he went straight to the Jade Tiger Study.

"Who are you?"

"Who let you in..."

The county magistrate looked in the direction of the voice and saw Han Fei. He then questioned him arrogantly.

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Liang interrupted him.

Zhang Liang didn't say anything, but directly took out the Sikou token from his sleeve.

"So it's Lord Sikou!"

"I was truly blind, please, sir..."

Upon seeing this, the county constable quickly apologized.

He was interrupted again before he could finish speaking.

"As I just said, you can go back now."

"This is none of your business."

Han Fei replied without turning his head.

Upon hearing this, the county magistrate hesitated, then led his men away from Emerald Manor.

His initial arrogance followed by deference stemmed not only from the fact that the visitor was the Minister of Justice, but also from the fact that the current Minister of Justice in Korea was the Ninth Prince.

How could a mere county magistrate like him afford to offend the Ninth Prince?
Before long, Han Fei found fertilizer mixed with lime in Emerald Manor.

"If this fertilizer is spread on the ground, won't all the crops die?"

Han Fei rubbed his hands together as he roared angrily.

He knew Jade Tiger wasn't a good person, but he never expected Jade Tiger to be this bad!
Then, Han Fei discovered mountains of grain.

"How come there's so much grain?"

"Why is that Jade Tiger hoarding so much grain?"

"Want to rebel?"

Han Fei said sternly.

Ji Wuye is ambitious, and the fact that Emerald Tiger has hoarded so much grain suggests that he might actually be planning a rebellion!

Of course, it's most likely for the purpose of making money.

……

After a stick of incense.

Dozens of people came to Emerald Manor and knelt before Han Fei.

"What are you doing, fellow villagers?"

"Get up quickly!"

Han Fei was startled upon seeing this and quickly said...

Then they helped the people up.

"Lord Sikou, you must do us justice!"

"When that scoundrel Jade Tiger was alive, he forcibly abducted women and imprisoned anyone he didn't like. My third brother is still in jail to this day!"

The people, their faces ashen, wept as they complained.

"Is there such a thing?"

Han Fei was startled again.

Then he told the people to tell Zhang Liang anything they needed, and he would handle it.

The reason he asked the people to find Zhang Liang was because he had seen many merchants.

"Lord Sikou!"

"That Jade Tiger is going too far!"

“If we don’t sell our grain to him at a low price, he will send people to beat us and forcibly take away our grain at an extremely low price under the pretext of requisitioning military grain!”

"Lord Sikou, look, these wounds on my body were inflicted by the guards of the Jade Tiger's mansion!"

The merchant, covered in wounds, poured out his grievances to Han Fei.

……

More than an hour later.

Han Fei and Zhang Liang wrote down all the problems of merchants and common people.

After the merchants and commoners had gone far away, Han Fei looked towards the Xu residence, unable to hide his exhaustion.

Xu Lin's sudden move to send someone to kill Emerald Tiger was an unsolvable scheme. As the Minister of Justice of Han and the Ninth Prince, even if he knew that doing so would anger Nightfall and make Xu Lin the 'sow', he had no choice but to do it!
As the Minister of Justice of the State of Han, the Ninth Prince, he could not stand by and watch the people and merchants of Han be humiliated by the Nightfall!
