Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 187: Is Han Wang An the mastermind behind the Fire Rain Treasure?
"Because the matter of Jade Tiger forcibly abducting women is most likely related to your father."

You'll find out in a few days.

Xu Lin answered.

Honglian was startled upon hearing this.

Then he put on his coat and left the Xu residence.

……

Five days later.

Zhang Liang found evidence that Jade Tiger had forcibly taken a woman and given her to King Han An.

After a moment's thought, Zhang Liang wrote down the names of these people.

Then I went to the Ninth Prince's residence.

"Son."

"Let's stop investigating the Jade Tiger matter here."

Zhang Liang offered his suggestion.

After he finished speaking, he handed the list to Han Fei.

Han Fei saw several familiar names on the list; he had seen these women in the palace before.

"Were the women on the list all given to Father by Jade Tiger?"

After taking more than ten breaths, Han Fei calmed down and asked.

"Correct."

Zhang Liang nodded.

Upon hearing this, Han Fei was disheartened and dismissed his attendants.

He knew his father was a womanizer, but he never expected his father to let Jade Tiger forcibly take a woman from the common people!
No wonder his father disagreed with his thorough investigation of the Jade Tiger. It turns out that this matter not only involved Ji Wuye, but also his father!

If one's conduct is upright, one's orders will be followed without being given; if one's conduct is not upright, one's orders will not be followed even if given.

If even the King of Han acts this way, wouldn't his subordinates rush to follow suit?

Upon realizing this, Han Fei felt a headache coming on and dismissed Zhang Liang as well.

He wanted to save South Korea, but South Korea had too many problems.

He wanted to be like Shang Yang, but the King of Han was not Duke Xiao of Qin!

……

the other side.

Xinzheng, Princess's Residence.

The well-informed Honglian also learned about the matter of Jade Tiger sending women to King Han An.

"Is there such a thing?"

Honglian was so angry that her eyebrows shot up.

She didn't mind that her father had many concubines, but why did he forcibly take a commoner's daughter?
No wonder the Jade Tiger dared to act recklessly in Nanyang; it turns out that Father King had tacitly approved of it!
After a moment of contemplation, Honglian took a carriage to the Ninth Prince's residence.

Han Fei was drinking alone in his study at that moment.

"Ninth brother."

"Stop drinking!"

Seeing Han Fei completely drunk and slumped on the ground in a disheveled state, Honglian said sternly.

As soon as she finished speaking, she picked up the wine jar and threw it outside the door.

"red lotus?"

"How did you come?"

"Since no one's drinking with Ninth Brother, here, let me pour you some..."

Han Fei spoke unclearly.

He was interrupted by Honglian before he could finish speaking.

"I don't drink!"

Honglian put on a stern face.

Then he replaced the wine pot on the table with a water pot.

"Ninth brother."

"You're in the prime of your life, do you really want to become addicted to wine and women like your elder brother?"

Honglian asked without a smile.

The elder brother she mentioned is none other than Han Yun, the current crown prince of South Korea.

Although Han Yun and Hong Lian share the same parents, Han Yun is lecherous and fond of drinking, and has no ambition, so Hong Lian dislikes him very much.

“Ninth Brother, you are still young. There are many ways to realize your ambitions. You don’t necessarily have to do it in South Korea.”

"Shang Yang and Zhang Yi were not from Qin."

"Hundreds of years ago, weren't the Qin people and us Han people all Zhou people?"

Honglian advised in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Han Fei couldn't help but hiccup, then sat up, leaning on the table for support.

He felt that Honglian's words made some sense.

Who stipulated that a prince from a particular country must serve that country?

Prince Xiong Qi of Chu was serving as an official in Qin, wasn't he?
It wasn't that Han Fei didn't want to serve Han, but that Han An had disappointed him too much!

If it were just nighttime, that would be fine.

Han An and Ye Mu are inseparable, what can he do?
He's not the crown prince!

"Ninth Brother, please stop drinking."

Red lotus lips parted slightly.

Then he turned and left the Ninth Prince's residence.

Han Fei had clearly taken her words to heart, so she was free to leave.

at the same time.

Tianze, along with Baiduwang and others, went to the area where Baiyue refugees lived on the outskirts of Xinzheng City.

Seeing the Baiyue refugees chatting and laughing as if they had made Korea their new home, Tianze was furious.

"As a Baiyue person, instead of seeking revenge, he has made this his new home. His heart deserves to be punished!"

"Tianze, with his long blue hair, roared angrily."

The Baiyue people use the snake as their totem. Tianze, as the former crown prince of Baiyue, has one arm that is 'assimilated' with a snake. There is a snake rune mark hidden in his palm. Combined with the element of the snake, he looks cold-blooded and dark.

"Master, should we kill them all?"

Upon hearing this, the King of Poisons respectfully inquired.

"Leave no one behind!"

Seeing the Baiyue refugees smiling broadly, their families sitting warmly around the stove, Tianze said coldly.

He had been imprisoned and tortured for so many years, while these Baiyue refugees were chatting and laughing. He couldn't accept it!

"promise!"

The King of Poisons immediately accepted the order.

Then, with a half-smile, he walked towards the Baiyue refugees.

Soon, the green poisonous fog enveloped an area of ​​several hundred meters in radius.

……

After half a stick of incense.

All the Baiyue refugees were killed.

Tianze smiled when he saw the corpses scattered all over the ground.

"Owner."

"As far as I know, the Qin envoy is coming to Han to demand an explanation regarding the canal issue."

"Perhaps we can shift the blame eastward and watch the fire from the other side of the river!"

The King of Poisons suggested with a sinister smile.

Given the strength of Qin and the weakness of Han, if a Qin envoy were to suddenly die within Han's territory, would Qin show leniency towards Han?
It doesn't matter whether the Qin envoy was killed by a Han person or not. As long as the Qin envoy died on Han territory, Han is responsible!

"good idea!"

Tian Ze said loudly.

Then he entrusted the task of hunting down the Qin envoy to the King of Poisons.

He hasn't recovered to his peak cultivation level yet, and since this is South Korea, using someone else to do the dirty work is a good option!

……

The next day.

Xu Mansion, on the outskirts of Xinzheng City.

Do you know about the Fire Rain Treasure?

Xu Lin asked, resting his head on Yan Lingji's jade-like legs.

With Liu Yi and Jade Tiger both dead, he was very curious about who had fallen into the hands of the Fire Rain Treasure and who was the real mastermind behind it all!
Clearly, Liu Yi was not the mastermind behind the Fire Rain Treasure, because the Fire Rain Treasure was not in the Left Sima's residence!

Yan Lingji shook her head, indicating that she did not know.

At the time, she was working under Tianze and was only thinking about how to repel the enemy; she didn't care about Huoyu Manor at all.

“The assassins of the Luo Wang organization are all over the world; they may know the inside story.”

Seeing that Xu Lin was very curious about this matter, Yan Lingji spoke up.

Xu Lin felt very warm, and she had gradually gotten used to being Xu Lin's pillow.

"Makes sense!"

Xu Lin nodded.

Then he suddenly stood up and went with Yan Lingji to the Luo Wang stronghold in Xinzheng.

Before long, Xu Lin met Qian Sha.

"Are you aware of the Fire Rain Treasure?"

Xu Lin got straight to the point.

"Fire Rain Treasure?"

"I have heard of it."

"Please wait a moment, Deputy Commander Xu."

Qian Sha was taken aback upon hearing this, and then replied very politely.

Although the Luo Wang and Ying Mi Wei are not subordinate to each other, since the master of the Luo Wang is Ying Zheng and the Ying Mi Wei is only responsible to Ying Zheng, they can also be considered an organization.

……

After a cup of tea.

The assassin from the Luo Wang organization approached Xu Lin carrying a box of bamboo slips.

Upon seeing this, Xu Lin frowned slightly, then opened the bamboo slip and stared intently at its contents.

The bamboo slips stated that Han An was the mastermind behind the Fire Rain Treasure incident, and that Han An became the King of Han because of this.

Han An initially assigned the matter to Li Kai, the Right Sima, but Li Kai fell in love with the young lady of Huoyu Manor and hesitated to take action.

Later, Liu Yi took over the matter, and after the destruction of Huoyu Manor, the Huoyu Treasure fell into Han An's hands.

After reading it, Xu Lin bowed to Qian Sha in thanks and asked Yan Ling Ji to copy down the contents of the bamboo slip.

He then stuffed the information he had copied onto scrap paper into his bosom and left the Luo Wang stronghold with Yan Lingji.

After leaving the Luo Wang stronghold, Xu Lin sent Yan Lingji home alone while he went to find the charming and beautiful Hu Meiren.
