Qin Dynasty: Ying Zheng is my brother, I am the Bad Commander

Chapter 75 Support?

"Your Excellency, having spent so long in the imperial court, how could you possibly understand the principle of speed in warfare?" Ji Wuye glanced coldly at Zhang Kaidi, his tone filled with undisguised contempt. "An assassin's operation is all about that one breath. If you were to leisurely complete the formalities of requesting permission, the assassin's blade would probably already be at your throat!"

"You—" Zhang Kaidi was so angry with Ji Wuye that his face turned ashen, and his finger pointing at Ji Wuye was trembling slightly.

"That's enough!"

King Han An slammed his hand on the armrest, interrupting the argument between the two.

He looked at Ji Wuye, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes.

Although he didn't believe Ji Wuye's nonsense, Ji Wuye's use of "protecting the king" as an excuse made it difficult for him to immediately sentence him to death.

After all, if he severely punished a general who claimed to be protecting him, it would inevitably chill the hearts of the military.

However, a reprimand and a reduction in power are necessary.

"General's loyalty is commendable, but the country has its laws, and the army has its regulations." King Han An took a deep breath and said coldly, "Unauthorized mobilization of troops and the closure of the capital are grave offenses. Since the General claims it's to capture assassins, then where are the assassins? The General mobilized so many troops and searched all night; how many assassins did you capture? Were any alive? Did you get any confessions?"

Ji Wuye's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly. Last night, he went on a killing spree and cleaned up the scene to cover up Ying Chen's affair; where would he find any assassins to hand over?

Just as Ji Wuye was preparing to use the plausible excuse that "the assassin was cunning and has either committed suicide or escaped," King Han An was already preparing his thunderous wrath.

A clear, slightly languid voice suddenly rang out in the main hall.

"Father, please calm your anger. I believe the General's words are true. There is indeed unrest in Xinzheng City, and if this turmoil is not handled properly, its harm could far exceed that of a few enemy assassins!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Ninth Prince Han Fei, dressed in a purple court robe, slowly walking out from the ranks of civil officials.

Han Fei's appearance instantly made the atmosphere in the court somewhat strange.

Zhang Kai was stunned. He never expected that at this crucial moment, Han Fei, who had always been at odds with Ji Wuye, would actually stand up and speak up for Ji Wuye!

Ji Wuye narrowed his eyes, staring at Han Fei with a gloomy gaze, secretly on guard.

He didn't believe Han Fei would be so kind as to help him out of a predicament. What was this cunning Ninth Prince up to?

Han Wang'an also looked at Han Fei with a surprised expression.

"Ninth Brother, what did you just say? You support the General's statement?" Han Wang'an asked with a frown, his tone tinged with displeasure.

He finally found an opportunity to weaken Ji Wuye, but Han Fei came out and interfered.

Han Fei walked to the center of the hall, respectfully bowed to King Han An, then straightened up and said loudly:

"Father, I do not support the General's rash action, but rather his assessment of the situation. Indeed, a great crisis lurks within Xinzheng City. However, the General may have misjudged the source of this crisis. The troublemakers are not assassins wielding swords, but villains armed with money and ledgers!"

Han Fei's words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples throughout the court.

"A villain with money and ledgers?" Han Wang'an frowned even deeper. "Ninth Brother, stop playing games and explain yourself! Who exactly is causing trouble?"

Han Fei smiled slightly, turned around, and said, "We have all the historical novel genres you like. Welcome to visit our website." His gaze swept over the officials in the court, finally settling on Ji Wuye, a barely perceptible sharpness flashing in his eyes.

"Father, esteemed officials. Has anyone been paying attention to the grain prices in Xinzheng City lately?" Han Fei did not answer directly, but instead posed a seemingly unrelated question.

The officials in the imperial court looked at each other in bewilderment.

They were all high-ranking officials and nobles with mountains of grain stored in their homes. Who would care about the price of rice for ordinary people in the city?

Zhang Kai pondered for a moment before speaking, "This old minister overheard the steward of the manor mentioning yesterday that grain prices in the city seem to have risen in recent days. However, this is normal during festivals or lean seasons. Why did you suddenly bring this up, Ninth Prince?"

"Your Excellency, if it were just a normal price increase, it would naturally be nothing to worry about. But what if I told you that in the past five days alone, the price of grain in Xinzheng City has tripled?!"

Han Fei's voice suddenly rose, and his tone became extremely stern.

"three times?!"

These words shocked the entire court.

Han Wang An also sat up abruptly, his face instantly turning extremely ugly.

Food is the foundation of a nation. Such drastic fluctuations in food prices would undoubtedly cause panic among the people. If the people go hungry, then rebellion is not far off! This is the most sensitive and terrifying signal for any ruler.

Han Fei bowed again and said, "Father, please calm your anger. The soaring grain prices are not a natural disaster, but a man-made one! Someone is secretly buying up all the grain on the market, maliciously hoarding it, and driving up prices, attempting to squeeze the blood and sweat of the people, and even... shake the foundation of our Great Han!"

Han Fei's words were powerful and resounding, elevating the nature of the matter to the level of shaking the very foundation of the state.

Ji Wuye's expression darkened slightly upon hearing the words "grain prices." He vaguely sensed that Han Fei was weaving a huge trap, and that this trap seemed to be closing in on his core interests.

"Ninth Brother, now that you've found out about this, do you know who is so audacious as to dare to use such methods in Xinzheng City?" Han Wang'an's tone was full of murderous intent.

Without hesitation, Han Fei pulled out a thick ledger from his sleeve and presented it with both hands.

"Father, as the Minister of Justice, I am in charge of criminal justice and public order. Recently, after noticing abnormal grain prices, I secretly sent people to investigate. This ledger contains transaction records that my men seized from several of the largest grain merchants in Xinzheng."

The eunuch quickly descended the steps, took the account book, and respectfully handed it to King Han An's desk.

Han Fei pointed to the account books and said loudly:

"Father, please look. This ledger clearly records that in the past half month, nearly 80% of the grain circulating in Xinzheng City was secretly bought by a mysterious tycoon at a price 20% higher than the market price. After buying the grain, this tycoon did not transport it to other places for sale, but instead hoarded it all in several hidden warehouses outside the city. He only bought and did not sell, artificially creating the illusion of a grain shortage in the city, which caused the grain price to fluctuate three times a day and skyrocket!"

King Han An flipped through the account books, his face growing increasingly ashen, his hands even trembling slightly with anger.

"Damn it! Absolutely damn it!" King Han An slammed the account books to the ground. "Which unscrupulous merchant dares to profit from this national crisis?! Ninth Brother, have you found out who this person is?"

"What on earth is going on?!" King Han An roared. "There hasn't been any major disaster near Xinzheng this year, so why have grain prices skyrocketed? What are the officials in charge of grain doing?!"

Han Fei's words were powerful and resounding, elevating the nature of the matter to the level of shaking the very foundation of the state.

Ji Wuye's expression darkened slightly upon hearing the words "grain prices." He vaguely sensed that Han Fei was weaving a huge trap, and that this trap seemed to be closing in on his core interests.
