Chapter 115 Good news, found; bad news, only half

In the hall of the General's Mansion, the lights went out, and a layer of emerald green light appeared on the ground. It was the powder that Han Fei had just sprinkled.

Ji Wuye looked at the fluorescent light on the ground with his pupils constricted. As he was able to sit on the position of general, Ji Wuye's wisdom was unquestionable. However, due to the expansion of his power over the years, he became more and more conceited, making him look not so smart.

At this time, when Ji Wuye faced these fluorescent powders, wisdom once again overcame his arrogance.

He had already thought of a possibility.

"It's my fault, actually. I just used these things as toys for fun, but I accidentally knocked them over in the cell when I was interrogating the two uncles."

Han Fei looked so self-blaming that Ji Wuye wanted to chop Han Fei to death.

He already knew what Han Fei wanted to say. In order to silence them, he sent Mo Ya to sneak into the cell and kill the two uncles. This meant that Mo Ya's body was covered with the damn fluorescent powder, which meant that Mo Ya had nowhere to hide. During this period of time, Mo Ya went to the house where the military pay was hidden.

So, the house may have been exposed.

Ji Wuye, who realized this problem, has already planned to kill to silence the witness. As for whether the death of the ninth prince of Han State in the General's Mansion will be investigated by King Han An, has anyone seen Han Fei enter the General's Mansion?

Thinking of this, Ji Wuye chopped the sword in his hand directly towards Han Fei. Unfortunately, Han Fei had already expected that Ji Wuye might do something desperate, so he also brought a bodyguard.

The moment Ji Wuye made his move, Wei Zhuang had already stood in front of Han Fei, and his shark-tooth sword blocked Ji Wuye's sword.

Ji Wuye exerted his strength, but found that Wei Zhuang did not move at all. Ji Wuye, who had been addicted to alcohol and sex for years, did not have an advantage in strength against the young Wei Zhuang.

Ji Wuye failed in his attack and was about to mobilize troops to surround and kill Han Fei and Wei Zhuang. At this moment, a message came from outside the door that Zhang Liang, the grandson of Prime Minister Zhang Kaidi, was waiting for Han Fei outside the General's Mansion.

Realizing that he could no longer let Han Fei die silently in the General's Mansion, Ji Wuye had to give up the idea of ​​killing Han Fei and let Han Fei and Wei Zhuang leave safely.

"Zifang, thank you this time." Han Fei walked towards Zhang Liang and said after leaving the General's Mansion.

"It was all arranged by the Ninth Young Master." Zhang Liang smiled and did not take any credit for it.

"Let's go, it's time to go see a show." Han Fei was in a good mood at the moment. He knew that Ji Wuye could no longer sit still, and the opportunity he had been waiting for had appeared.

"Boss Zinu is already waiting for the Ninth Master." Zhang Liang said, looking at Han Fei with admiration in his eyes. During this time they had been together, he had been deeply impressed by Han Fei's intelligence and talent.

"Then we can't keep her waiting for too long." Han Fei smiled and walked towards the outside of Xinzheng City.

In the general's mansion, Ji Wuye recalled what Han Fei said, feeling confused and uncertain. He was not sure whether what Han Fei said was true or false, but he did not dare to take the gamble, so he hesitated.

"Someone come here." After a long time, Ji Wuye decided not to take the risk.

……

Xincheng has become a cliff. Due to its extremely high location, there is no obstacle at the back. Standing here, you can have a panoramic view of the whole Xinzheng. This is originally a secret place, unknown to ordinary people, but tonight, there are screens, tables, banquets, beauties, fine wines, jade cups, and incense.

"It's about time for Ji Wuye to take action." Han Fei, whose glass was being poured by Zi Nu, shook it with a playful look on his face.

"The people have come out." Wei Zhuang, who was standing on the cliff, holding a wine glass, saw that the door of the general's mansion was opened, and a team of cavalry rushed out and disappeared into the night.

"So I'll have to trouble Brother Wei Zhuang with the next thing." Han Fei raised his glass to Wei Zhuang.

Wei Zhuang did not answer, but drank the wine in the glass, then threw the glass away and walked down the mountain.

"I know he's cool, but you can't smash someone's favorite wine glass!" Han Fei laughed, saying something he thought was very humorous.

Zhang Liang glanced sideways, but Zi Nu was in a daze, as if thinking about other things, and did not give Han Fei the response he wanted.

Wei Zhuang went down the mountain and followed the traces left by the elite cavalry of the General's Mansion, heading towards a house, where Ji Wuye hid the 100,000 gold military pay.

Wei Zhuang has always been simple and rough in his actions. He had no intention of sneaking around at all. He just broke into the room directly and all the elite soldiers from the General's Mansion that stood in front of him were killed by his shark-tooth sword.

If these poor elite soldiers were to form an army formation, they might be able to fight against Wei Zhuang, but in the courtyard, the terrain did not allow them to form an army formation, so the only outcome they faced was to be slaughtered.

After Wei Zhuang knocked out the last and only lucky person, he pushed open a door and saw 100,000 taels of gold behind it.

Wei Zhuang walked into the room with a faint smile on his face. Ji Wuye lost this time.

Wei Zhuang opened a box and found the shiny gold inside. The military pay that had stirred up the entire Korea was finally found.

Wei Zhuang picked up a gold coin and squeezed it with his fingers. It felt exactly like gold, and it couldn't be fake. But... the smile on Wei Zhuang's face quickly froze.

Something is wrong! Wei Zhuang's eyes swept over the wooden boxes in the room. The gold was indeed gold, but the weight was wrong.

Wei Zhuang, who vaguely sensed something was wrong, lifted the box and estimated the amount of gold inside.

"Half of the gold is missing, only 50,000 taels are left?" Wei Zhuang put down the box. The feeling of weight in his hands had not completely disappeared. He could feel that there were only 50,000 taels of gold.

"Could it be that Ji Wuye hid the 100,000 taels of gold in two places?" Wei Zhuang's face darkened. If this was true, Han Fei would not have a second chance to find the other 50,000 taels of gold.

Wei Zhuang, who was filled with doubt and uncertainty, did not care about anything else at this moment and could only take the 50,000 taels of gold first.

In Zi Lan Xuan, Han Fei listened to music comfortably. He was waiting for Wei Zhuang to bring back good news. He believed that with Wei Zhuang's martial arts, he would be able to bring back good news soon.

Sure enough, just when Han Fei was slightly tipsy, Wei Zhuang jumped in from the window.

"Have you found the military pay?" Han Fei put down his wine glass.

"Found it." Wei Zhuang nodded, but there was no joy on his face.

"Brother Wei Zhuang, although I admit that you look cool with a stern face, we have recovered the military pay of 100,000 taels of gold. This is such a happy thing. Can't you just smile?" Han Fei teased Wei Zhuang.

“I don’t think you will laugh when I say this.” Wei Zhuang said coldly.

"What happened?" Zi Nu was surprised when she heard this. If Wei Zhuang took action, wouldn't it be easy to capture him? Could it be that something unexpected happened?
"The gold was found, but there is only 50,000 taels." Wei Zhuang said.

"What?" The smile on Han Fei's face froze, and the wine glass in his hand fell, hitting the table with a crisp thud, and then rolled away, just like his mood at the moment.

"The gold has been found, except for 50,000 taels. The other 50,000 taels are not there." Wei Zhuang took a deep breath. At this moment, he felt very depressed. He really didn't like this feeling.

"There are only 50,000 taels. What about the other 50,000 taels? Could it be that Ji Wuye hid the 100,000 taels of military pay separately? Did he have to?" Han Fei managed to calm down and quickly analyzed the information provided by Wei Zhuang.

"Is it necessary for Ji Wuye to do that?" Zi Nu raised her doubts. Although she also thought it was incredible, Ji Wuye really didn't need to hide the 100,000 taels of military pay separately. Moreover, if Ji Wuye really did that, shouldn't he have sent out two groups of troops? In fact, he only sent out one group of elite cavalry. No matter how you explain it, it doesn't make sense.

“Then we should ask Ji Wuye.” Wei Zhuang said. It turned out that this Guiguzi disciple had quite a sense of dry humor.

"It would be great if he could tell me." Han Fei said with a wry smile. He knew that he was in big trouble. He could trick Ji Wuye once, but not a second time. The remaining 50,000 taels of gold would probably never be recovered.

"What are you going to do now?" Zi Nu asked Han Fei. She saw a helpless look on the resourceful Ninth Young Master. This was the first time she saw that he was not omnipotent.

"Let's go report to father first. It would be good if we can find half of it." Han Fei gathered his thoughts. This was the only way for now. Finding 50,000 gold is better than finding nothing at all.

Han Fei left. Watching Han Fei disappear into the darkness, Zi Nu said to Wei Zhuang, "Do you think Ji Wuye really hid the 50,000 taels of gold somewhere else?"

"I don't know." Wei Zhuang said. He had a hunch that there was another culprit behind the 50,000 taels of gold, but he could not find direct evidence. The only way to explain it was to put the blame on Ji Wuye. But it was just an explanation and it was not necessarily the truth.

The next day.

The only general's personal soldier who was knocked unconscious by Wei Zhuang knelt in front of Ji Wuye.

"What did you say? That batch of stuff was robbed?" Ji Wuye slammed the table with his palm, veins throbbing on his forehead. He realized that he was deceived by Han Fei last night. His action of sending his personal soldiers to the house to transfer the gold exposed the location of the gold. Before that, Han Fei didn't even know that place.

He was fooled.

"Yes, General, that man is too strong, we can't stop him." The personal soldier said tremblingly.

"You can go down." Ji Wuye waved his hand. Now he was thinking about how to deal with the aftermath. Han Wangan already knew that it was he who robbed the military pay, so what would Han Wangan do?
Ji Wuye was already planning to raise an army at this time.

At this time, the order from the palace had arrived.

Looking at Zhang Liang in front of him, Ji Wuye was still hesitating, wondering whether to kill Zhang Liang directly and then take the prince hostage and attack the palace.

"General, aren't you going to accept my order yet?" Zhang Liang looked at Ji Wuye without a trace of fear.

"Your servant Ji Wuye accepts the order." Ji Wuye knelt on one knee. He realized that if King Han An really wanted to turn against him, it would not be Zhang Liang who came at this time.
