"The reason why the king has this question is because of the recent controversy surrounding the ghostly soldiers' deaths?"
In the palace, Su Xuan's eyes were calm and he said to King Han.
A hint of surprise flashed in King Han's eyes, but he did not conceal it. "To be honest, sir, it is indeed because of this matter!"
"How did you find out, sir?"
Su Xuan smiled and said, "First, the ghost soldiers robbed the salary. The 100000 taels of gold salary disappeared without a trace, and then there were ghost soldiers claiming their lives. Those who wanted to investigate the truth all died one after another... These two incidents have been causing a stir lately, not only spreading outside the palace, but even spreading to the palace."
"Although I have been practicing alchemy here all along, it doesn't mean that I am completely unaware of what happens in the external world."
"Occasionally, someone will come to me and tell me the latest news from the outside world in my ear."
King Han listened quietly to Su Xuan's account and immediately learned who had told him about it. "It's the girl from Honglian," he said
Although Honglian grows in the palace and is well taken care of by the King of Han, he cannot resist the opponent's longing for the outside world. Therefore, may she sneak out of the palace? The King of Han is well aware of this matter and did not deliberately obstruct it. As long as the other party knows the propriety and comes back at the right time, he can treat it as not seeing it.
However, he never expected that the relationship between Honglian and Mr. Su would be so good.
Occasionally, I would come to Mr. Su's place to tell him about what happened outside the palace.
"This matter was indeed told to me by Princess Honglian!"
Su Xuan nodded and said.
It was also in Honglian's mouth that he heard about this matter that he suddenly realized that he had unknowingly arrived at the so-called "plot" time point.
This made him feel some emotions.
But that's all for now.
After learning about the whole story, King Han had no intention of reprimanding Honglian. He blamed her for spreading this matter recklessly and continued to ask Su Xuan, "So what do you think of this matter, sir?"
He still asked the same question earlier, is there really a ghost in this world?
Su Xuan said calmly, "The theory of ghosts and gods has a long history. In the past, when Han Kingdom destroyed Zheng, it turned the palace of Zheng into the current palace. If those ghosts of Zheng Kingdom really exist, it is not surprising that they will retaliate against Han Kingdom out of national hatred and family hatred!"
King Han's expression remained calm, with a hint of fear on his face. "Sir, do you mean that Ghost Soldiers really exist?"
Ghosts and gods demand their lives, and the living are simply unable to defend themselves. At present, these ghost soldiers have only taken away his military pay and killed those who attempt to uncover the truth.
If one day, ghosts and gods want to seek revenge against this king, what should he do?
Although the destruction of Zheng was not done by him.
But now the Han Kingdom is indeed rooted and established in the capital and royal city of Zheng.
Zheng of Xinzheng is Zheng of the State of Zheng.
In a state of panic, King Han saw Su Xuan in front of him again, like a drowning ant finding the last straw to save his life. He quickly said to Su Xuan, "Please help me, sir!"
In a state of urgency, he did not even verbally refer to himself as a "widow", but instead referred to himself as "I".
"Your Majesty, there's no need to worry!" Su Xuan appeared very calm. "Although I haven't denied the existence of ghosts and gods, when I think about the matter of ghost soldiers, there are quite a few doubts."
"Oh?" King Han looked at Su Xuan in surprise and confusion.
Su Xuannai is an expert who can summon wind and rain, and the pills he has refined make him feel the feeling of youth.
The saying of ghosts and gods is a mysterious and unexplainable existence for ordinary people, but he is still willing to believe the words of this expert.
If there is anyone in the vast Han country who can deal with these ghosts and gods, then it must be the one in front of us.
"The matter of ghost soldiers robbing salaries, as I am not the party involved, I am not very clear about the details. I will skip discussing it for now, and let's just talk about the ghost soldiers' claim of life. On the surface, it seems that they are those ghost soldiers who do not want to be disturbed, so they killed those chief judges who attempted to explore the truth!"
"But doesn't the king find it strange?"
Han Wang was puzzled and said, "What's so strange?"
"Leaving aside the fact that these chief judges had not offended these ghost soldiers before this, why did they suddenly come to the city to commit crimes since they appeared outside the city? Moreover, if they were disturbed by others and killed those who were exploring the truth, there would be many people escorting military pay that day. They could all be considered to have witnessed the appearance of the ghost soldiers with their own eyes, but as a result, those ghost soldiers chose to let them go... Even if they start taking their lives at this moment, none of those people would die!"
Upon hearing Su Xuan's words, King Han also came to his senses.
Yeah!
Even if the ghost soldiers want to seek revenge, why do all those who die are the chief judges?
On the day of escorting military pay, those soldiers who witnessed the appearance of ghost soldiers and even attempted to attack them, but none of them had an accident?
Earlier, due to the looting of 100000 taels of military pay, the King of Han was extremely angry, and the incident of ghost soldiers demanding their lives caused him some anxiety in the midst of his anger, to the extent that he lost his most basic judgment.
At this moment, in front of this expert Su Xuan, perhaps it was because Su Xuan had given him confidence and courage.
So he also gradually calmed down.
Looking back now, there is indeed something wrong.
Ghost soldiers killing those chief judges is like deliberately preventing some people from finding out the truth and searching for lost military pay.
The matter of ghostly soldiers robbing salaries was not done by ghosts and gods, but by... people!
King Han couldn't help but have this kind of speculation, and his mind suddenly trembled.
Immediately afterwards, he hesitated again.
But what if it's really done by ghosts and gods?
He furrowed his brow, stretched it again and again, and looked back at Su Xuan in front of him. "Sir?"
Su Xuan said, "Since you have found me here, I have received so many benefits from you during this period. It's a bit unreasonable for me to continue to sit idly by."
"If it's really done by ghosts and gods, I would like to see if they are more powerful, or if my Dao sword is stronger!"
"Okay!"
King Han suddenly spoke loudly, "With this sentence from sir, I feel much more at ease!"
"Please help me find out the truth, sir!"
