On the outskirts of Xinzheng City, there is a place called Broken Soul Valley.
This is one of the ancient battlefields where South Korea defeated Zheng in the past. Many soldiers of Zheng died here because the South Korean army acted hastily and did not bury their bodies. Occasionally, some dense white bones were excavated in this area, which is frightening.
In addition to these reasons, there is usually a Yin wind blowing from an unknown place in this place. When the Yin wind blows, it is like a ghost crying, and the sound is frightening to the soul, hence the name "Soul Breaking Valley".
The weather today is very bad, gloomy, with dark clouds hanging low and drizzle falling. The drizzle permeates the body, making it extremely uncomfortable.
I don't know who deliberately chose the day to escort military pay today.
The first two escorts of military pay were the two princes of South Korea, Lord Longquan and Lord Anping. They were of noble status and were highly trusted by the King of Han. Only such people were willing to entrust the 100000 taels of gold military pay to them with peace of mind.
The two thrones, dressed in armor, looked quite presentable. However, from their bloated bellies, they seemed somewhat out of place. They were fat and rode on the backs of tall horses, and it was unclear whether these so-called tall horses could bear their weight.
Many soldiers accompanied them with military supplies. As they passed through the Broken Soul Valley, many soldiers were filled with fear due to some folk rumors and terrifying stories.
"Shouldn't I have encountered a ghost!"
Someone muttered softly, and his companion immediately scolded him, "What nonsense? Where did the ghost come from?"
Seems to be unforgettable, there must be an echo.
Just as someone was thinking this, in the next moment, a Yin wind blew in, and in the thick mist, a figure wearing broken armor quietly appeared.
"Ghosts, ghosts and gods..."
Someone couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when they saw the situation.
On horseback, the two princes saw it, but there was no sign of fear. It seemed that they had anticipated this situation early on.
The emergence of ghosts and gods made many soldiers fearful.
Immediately after, the military supplies they escorted slowly disappeared under the rain, as if they had been taken away by ghosts and gods.
Above the court, King Han was furious when he learned that 100000 taels of military pay had been stolen by ghost soldiers.
Earlier, in order to cope with the severe drought, he offered a reward of ten thousand taels of gold, which had already caused him great pain.
But these ten thousand taels of gold are worth spending.
In the past, Guo Wei used a story that cost a thousand yuan to buy a pair of horse bones to persuade King Zhao of Yan to seek wisdom. Later, King Zhao of Yan took Guo Wei's suggestion and built a golden platform to seek wisdom, making the weak Yan state a famous strong country and almost annihilating the vast Qi state.
King Zhao of Yan was willing to spend his capital in search of talented individuals.
He Han Wang An, can't he bear to part with it?
It's just a mere ten thousand taels of gold, it's just a dead thing. As long as he can exchange it for Su Xuan, this expert, to use for him, the rewards he will receive far exceed ten thousand taels of gold.
Later, Su Xuan refined pills for him.
After taking it, he felt like he had returned to the peak of his prime, which made King Han feel that the money was worth it.
So, he doesn't really care about those ten thousand taels of gold anymore.
But now, the fact that these 100000 taels of gold were looted by ghost soldiers has made him sincerely angry.
This is 100000 taels of gold!
Earlier, he could have offered ten exorbitant rewards and recruited ten experts like Su Xuan.
If it weren't for his knowledge of the situation in South Korea and the need to maintain the expenses of the border army, he really wouldn't want to spend this military salary.
If this military salary is used in a legitimate place, it's okay, but it's stolen by the elusive ghost soldiers. What's the point?
Are the spirits of Zheng, who was destroyed by South Korea, unwilling to accept the downfall of their homeland and come to seek revenge against him?
Or is there another hidden truth behind the ghost soldiers robbing salaries?
Regardless of the reason, the King of Han wants a truth.
So, I immediately ordered someone to investigate this matter thoroughly.
Anyone involved in escorting military pay can be questioned.
However, surprisingly.
Several presiding judges passed away one after another before they could investigate the cause of the matter and uncover the truth. Their deaths were tragic, as if they had been claimed by ghosts.
After spreading to the people at this time, the city was filled with wind and rain for a while.
Along with the return of a young master who was studying abroad, no one paid attention to it.
All the limelight has been overshadowed by the ghost soldiers demanding their lives.
Above the court, the King of Han became increasingly angry.
He never expected such a result, not only failing to uncover the truth, but also damaging several chief judges.
At this moment, General Ji Wuye stood up and recommended Xiangguo Kaidi as the chief judge, stating that if Xiangguo takes action, the truth can be found out and the lost military pay can be recovered.
Upon hearing these words, I couldn't help but become furious.
He never expected Ji Wuyue to take the opportunity to make a fuss.
The several chief judges who died earlier were all his people, and their mysterious deaths had already caused him some anger. As a result, Ji Wuye was still falling into the well at this time.
He actually wanted to refuse to accept the investigation on the grounds that it was done by ghosts and gods, and it was difficult for manpower to find the lost military pay. However, the key is that the king is so angry that it is obviously impossible to listen to him.
For the angry king at present, finding the lost military pay is the most important thing.
But the key is, he can't find the lost military pay.
If we continue with this matter, we will undoubtedly drag ourselves into a quagmire.
For a moment, the open heart was burning with anxiety.
Upon hearing Ji Wuye's words, King Han instinctively looked towards the open space of the Prime Minister. His thoughts were simple.
In order to find the lost military pay, he had not rested for several days. His loyal ministers and prime ministers should share his worries.
He will, as Ji Wuye wishes, appoint Kaikai as the chief judge to investigate the truth.
However, as he spoke, he remembered another person who had not made a decision for the next time. Instead, he asked the ministers to disperse and temporarily withdraw from court, and the matter would be discussed at a later date.
Seeing that King Han rarely made the decision she had expected, Ji Wuye couldn't help but provoke and was somewhat surprised.
King Han was unaware of Ji Wuye's thoughts.
After retreating from the court, he went to another part of the palace and found Su Xuan, asking a question, "Sir, are there really ghosts and gods in this world?"
