Qin Dynasty: Becoming a peerless master through the Golden Light Mantra

Chapter 54 A Father-Son Situation in the Imperial Court

After the soldiers captured all the guards in the warehouse, the warehouse door, which contained evidence of Jade Tiger's crimes, was opened completely to Wei Liao and his men.

Despite the stench inside, Wei Liao personally led a squad of soldiers into the warehouse.

Upon entering the warehouse, Wei Liao saw it filled with countless wooden barrels.

The stench inside and outside was coming from those wooden barrels.

Wei Liao raised his right hand and pointed to a wooden barrel not far away, ordering the soldiers beside him, "Open it."

"promise!"

Upon receiving the order, the soldiers immediately stepped forward and removed the lid from the wooden barrel.

Without the lid to conceal it, the stench from inside the wooden barrel was fully released.

The stench in the room became even stronger at this time.

Even the soldiers who were usually hardworking and resilient couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses with their hands.

Wei Liao suppressed the urge to vomit and went forward to check the situation in the wooden tub.

After glancing at the "fertilizer" mixed together inside, Wei Liao immediately looked away.

He felt that if he kept watching, he would throw up everything he ate that night.

It's truly admirable that Jade Tiger could come up with such a cunning scheme.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Liao gave the soldiers another order: "Pour water into it!"

The soldiers immediately took out the water bottles they had prepared beforehand and poured water into the fertilizer in the wooden bucket.

"Sizzle!"

Although there were no bright flames heating it from below, the fertilizer inside emitted a lot of heat, just like cooked porridge.

Wei Liao and many soldiers in the warehouse witnessed this scene.

It's not hard to imagine what the fields would look like after a rainy day if such fertilizer were spread there.

The crops in the fields will be killed by these fertilizers.

At this moment, the soldiers hated Jade Tiger to the core.

Most of them are locals from Nanyang.

If you use Emerald Tiger fertilizer on your farmland, your harvest this year will be lost.

At the same time, they were extremely grateful to Han Che.

It was Han Che who discovered all of this in advance and saved Nanyang.

"What a daring Jade Tiger! How dare he do such a rebellious thing."

Once he came to his senses, Wei Liao immediately shouted loudly.

"Seal this place off and don't allow anyone to enter or leave."

"promise!"

The soldiers responded in unison.

The sound was deafening, containing the burning anger in the hearts of these soldiers.

Soon, a fast horse carrying evidence of Jade Tiger's crimes rushed from Nanyang to Xinzheng overnight.

……

the next morning.

The atmosphere in the South Korean court was very heavy.

News of Han Che and Ji Wuye's confrontation on the street yesterday has spread throughout Xinzheng.

Most importantly, Han Che, under the instruction of Han Fei, the Minister of Justice, also arrested Ji Wuye's subordinate, Emerald Tiger.

Moreover, the list of crimes committed by Jade Tiger was terrifying.

King Han An naturally noticed the changes in the court.

However, he did not see this as a bad thing.

Without Lady Mingzhu's influence, he has increasingly felt that he had trusted Ji Wuye too much in the past.

This long-serving general has been performing poorly lately and is no longer worthy of my trust.

He probably already has his own agenda.

After taking in the reactions of his ministers, King An of Han turned his gaze to Han Fei, who was sitting in the front row.

"Ninth Brother!"

"Your subject is here!"

Upon hearing this, Han Fei immediately stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and replied.

"I heard that yesterday you and the tenth prince captured a merchant named Jade Tiger."

What exactly did that Jade Tiger do to deserve such a large-scale arrest by you and the Eleventh Prince, and even a conflict with the General within the city?

Ji Wuye's expression turned very ugly.

When King Han An brought up this matter in court, it was clear that he wanted to use Han Fei to suppress himself.

Asking Han Fei a question was a way of expressing his attitude.

Everyone in the court knew what kind of person Jade Tiger was and whose side he worked for.

Although he sensed Han Wang'an's thoughts, Han Fei was not so happy.

"Father, the case of the Jade Tiger is very complicated and involves many people. I am still investigating it carefully and it is difficult to explain it to you in a short time."

King An of Han was somewhat dissatisfied with Han Fei's answer.

I've already started a group buy, and you, as the son, aren't joining?

Haven't you already broken ties with Ji Wuye?

"There has to be a reason for arresting people; you can't just arrest them for no reason."

Faced with King Han An's blame, Han Fei gave a bitter smile.

It's not that he doesn't want to talk, it's that he can't.

Although it is certain that Jade Tiger is guilty, he currently lacks concrete evidence.

If I told anyone, they would find out as soon as they asked.

After pondering for a while, Han Fei, feeling helpless, suddenly came up with a good idea.

He planned to bring Han Che into the picture.

Han Che is not currently in the imperial court.

This will buy them some time.

Han Fei then replied, "Father, it was my eleventh brother who reported the Jade Tiger to me."

According to the eleventh brother, Jade Tiger has committed numerous illegal acts in Nanyang, is a heinous and unscrupulous merchant, and is currently plotting something extremely detrimental to South Korea.

As Han Fei recounted his story, King An of Han's expression became very solemn.

The atmosphere inside the main hall became unprecedentedly tense at this moment.

The court officials were all on edge, not daring to miss a single word or detail.

King Han An then asked, "What big thing is Jade Tiger plotting? What can a merchant like him do?"

Han Fei stopped keeping him in suspense and revealed what he knew: "According to the intelligence gathered by my eleventh brother, Jade Tiger plans to create an artificial drought in Nanyang. Through this drought, he can not only make huge profits for himself, but also greatly weaken the national strength of Han."

Therefore, the eleventh brother suspected that Jade Tiger was colluding with other countries.

If Jade Tiger's plan succeeds and disaster strikes in Nanyang, the people of Nanyang will surely be unsettled.

If other countries take the opportunity to attack South Korea, South Korea will likely be unable to defend itself.

As Han Fei finished speaking the last word, the court fell silent.

Some court officials unconsciously glanced at Ji Wuye.

At this moment, Ji Wuye's expression was ashen.

He didn't know whether Han Fei was telling the truth or not.

However, Han Fei's statement was undoubtedly an attack launched against him at the instigation of King An of Han.

Han Wang An's expression was even more unpleasant than Ji Wu Ye's at this moment.

Although Han Fei attacked at his behest, every word Han Fei uttered afterward was provoking his sensitive nerves.

Drought, social unrest, war...

This is meant to make him the ruler of a fallen kingdom.

"Ninth Brother, is what you just said true?"

"Father, everything I just said is true."

Having received Han Fei's reply, King An of Han did not ask any further questions, but instead ordered, "Very well! Immediately summon the eleventh prince to the palace to report back."

Immediately afterwards, a palace attendant left the palace to inform Han Che.
