Chapter 117

She looked at Jia Zhen with some fear.

Jia Hui said, "What are you still standing there for? Looking at him is useless; now, I am the one in charge!"

How overbearing!

Yet, Zhao Zhao Zhao Paner loved this majestic and overbearing side of him to death.

"Yes! My lord!"

With her heart trembling, Zhao Zhao Zhao Paner did not hesitate any longer.

She bit her lip.

Ignoring Jia Zhen’s angry glare,

she went ahead to lead the way.

Jia Hui admired her swaying waist and the alluring, rhythmic movement of her back.

Then, he led his men to follow her toward the direction of the storehouse.

[124] Jia Zhen plots treason! Xu Xu Xu Lingyi: The evidence is as solid as a mountain! Jia Zhen: It’s a frame-up by Jia Hui!

One hour later!

Because Jia Hui did not want to arouse suspicion,

he had been a bit hurried this time.

Afterward, he returned to the main hall, feeling refreshed!

By this time, Jia Zhen had been waiting impatiently.

Noticing Jia Hui’s return, Jia Zhen sneered arrogantly, "Since you found nothing, it is now my turn to make a move. Jia Hui, let’s see how you die this time."

Jia Hui had led troops to search his Ningguo Prefecture wantonly!

He would impeach Jia Hui.

Although he didn't expect it to cost Jia Hui his life or his title,

he would certainly be severely reprimanded by the Emperor.

It might even cost him his position at the Five Cities Military Commission!

For Jia Zhen, that would at least be a vent for his anger.

Thus, Jia Zhen looked at Jia Hui with an increasingly ferocious expression.

He wanted to see Jia Hui make a fool of himself, showing fear and embarrassment!

However!

Jia Hui disappointed him!

After walking straight in,

his expression showed not a hint of panic.

"460"

How could this be?

By the way, where is Zhao Zhao Zhao Paner?

While Jia Zhen was suspicious,

he heard Jia Hui shout angrily, "You wretch Jia Zhen, as a military noble, having received the grace of Heaven and a hereditary title, you have actually committed such an act of treason. You truly deserve to die!"

"What? What nonsense are you spouting!"

Everyone in the hall was astonished.

Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, that father and son, looked at him with suspicion and uncertainty.

Jia Zhen thought Jia Hui was trying to scare him, and sneered, "Don't try to frighten me; I wasn't raised on fear!"

"You still dare to quibble! I have already found a large amount of missing military supplies from the Military Commission in your storehouse and your room! Including a large quantity of armor and weapons!"

"And I even discovered heavy crossbows!"

"Jia Zhen, you are planning to rebel!"

Jia Hui shouted angrily!

Jia Zhen was so terrified by this roar that his soul nearly left his body!

He looked at him in fear.

He still didn't believe it.

Because it was impossible.

Jia Zhen roared in shock and anger, "You are talking nonsense!"

"Hmph, death is at your doorstep, and you still dare to quibble!"

Jia Hui was about to say more,

when suddenly a soldier came, "Commander, General Xu Xu Xu Lingyi is outside requesting an audience."

Jia Hui frowned, then smiled, "Let him in; it’s a perfect time for him to be a witness."

Immediately!

Before long,

Xu Xu Xu Lingyi appeared, dressed in blue, wearing a crown, with a cold and stern demeanor!

There were a few others with him.

One of them was his trusted aide, Lin Bo.

There was also a beautiful woman.

She was a beauty with highly recognizable features.

He didn't recognize her, but she was none other than Gao Hui, the daughter of the Gao household!

Upon entering, she had intended to give Jia Hui a cold look.

However, after seeing his heroic and handsome face,

she was stunned for a moment.

Jia Hui felt she looked somewhat familiar.

The stunning courtesan Yu Yu Yu Youwei from "Sword Snow Stride"?

Jia Hui had a deep impression of Yu Yu Yu Youwei.

Although she was just a pawn in someone else's hand used to assassinate the protagonist Xu Fengnian, when she first appeared holding a white cat, her cold temperament was innate, yet her every gesture was full of charm—truly stunning!

Hmm, no white cat!

Then it shouldn't be Yu Yu Yu Youwei!

There shouldn't be a "Sword Snow Stride" background here, right?

Then which character is she?

She doesn't seem to be in "The Sword and the Brocade," right?

He didn't recognize her for a moment.

But since he had just had a quick meal,

he had no fire in him.

So he temporarily ignored her.

"General Xu."

He cupped his hands to Xu Xu Xu Lingyi.

Xu Xu Xu Lingyi returned the salute.

Xu Xu Xu Lingyi looked at Jia Hui, swept a glance at Jia Zhen and the others, then said, "I was just passing by. Seeing such a commotion here, I came to take a look."

Jia Hui smiled, "What a coincidence! It’s perfect for you to be a witness."

Immediately, he put on a heartbroken expression, "I never imagined there would be such a detestable and rebellious villain who has remained at large. To eat the Emperor's salary and be loyal to the Emperor's affairs—General Xu, don't you agree?"

Xu Xu Xu Lingyi was taken aback by this nonsensical remark.

He looked suspiciously at him and then at the frustrated and terrified Jia Zhen and his son.

"Lord Jia, what do you mean?"

"A large portion of the missing Military Commission supplies has been found!"

"Right here in the storehouse and other places of the Ningguo Prefecture."

The upright and righteous Jia Hui shouted in anger!

Xu Xu Xu Lingyi was startled: "!"

Lin Bo and Gao Hui, who were standing to the side, were also astonished!

Gao Hui looked at Jia Zhen and his son in shock: "Is that true?"

This was a grave crime, even she knew that.

If the imperial court and the Emperor found out, they would surely be thunderously enraged and punish them severely without leniency.

Even if the Duke were still alive, he would not be able to escape unscathed!

Not to mention his descendants.

Jia Hui looked at Gao Hui and nodded heavily: "It is absolutely true! If you don't believe me, come and see for yourself!"

"Besides the missing items from the City Guard, I have also discovered numerous short crossbows, heavy crossbows, and siege crossbows!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Gao Hui's face was even more shocked!

She looked at Jia Zhen and his son as if they were lunatics and dead men!

Xu Xu Xu Lingyi and Lin Bo both looked at them with incredibly sharp eyes!

The Merit Officer Hong Li and Law Officer Zong Bao were also shocked: "Privately storing short crossbows is tantamount to treason! Not to mention heavy crossbows and siege crossbows, which are heavy weapons for attacking cities!"

In fact...

If the Four Princes and Eight Dukes and other military nobles privately stored a small amount of armor and conventional weapons.

It would not be considered a major crime.

The Emperor and the imperial court would turn a blind eye.

After all, they were military nobles.

They had personal guards and the Love Love Like in their households.

Ordinary laws could only be effective against commoners.

They were not very effective against top-tier dignitaries Love Love Like them.

But heavy crossbows and the Love Love Like were absolutely intolerable to any faction!

Including imperial princes, grandsons, and royal relatives!

Because these were undoubtedly weapons of mass destruction!

No Emperor or imperial court would ever allow private concealment!

After all, what would you keep heavy siege crossbows for?

Any violation would be treated as treason!

There was absolutely no room for luck!

Jia Zhen and his son were so scared that their faces turned pale, and they almost fainted!

"Impossible, impossible!"

"I didn't."

"It must be you, Jia Hui, talking nonsense."

Jia Zhen glared at Jia Hui with a ferocious and angry expression.

Xu Xu Xu Lingyi said coldly: "Whether it is true or false, one look will tell!"

Immediately, with a cold face, he joined Jia Hui.

They escorted him to the Ningguo Prefecture warehouse and other places.

Along the way, Jia Zhen kept shouting.

Until they arrived at a warehouse.

Several Ningguo Prefecture servants guarding the door were subdued on the ground.

After their group entered.

They immediately discovered a large amount of armor, weapons, and more inside the opened boxes.

All of them had markings.

For example, the boxes were labeled with "City Guard" and so on.

Various pieces of evidence proved that these were indeed the items lost by the City Guard.

The most alarming were the huge heavy crossbows, as well as short crossbows, other crossbows, and crossbow bolts!

Xu Xu Xu Lingyi, whose thick eyebrows looked Love Love Like ink, had eyes as sharp as swords, and he shouted in a low voice: "Jia Zhen, the evidence is as solid as a mountain, do you have anything else to say!"

"Thump!"

Jia Zhen was so scared that his knees went weak and he collapsed to the ground!

He looked dazed, terrified, and incredulous!

"Impossible, impossible."

"This is definitely not mine!"

Jia Rong was so scared that he wet himself!

Which made Gao Hui and the others feel disgusted!

Suddenly, Jia Zhen thought of something, and he glared angrily at Jia Hui: "It's you, it must be you framing me."

[125] You Shi: Save me, you dead ghost! Ruthless with the halberd! Joyfully obtaining Zhang Liao and the Cai sisters

Jia Hui laughed: "Your behavior of a cornered dog is too ridiculous."

Gao Hui nodded subconsciously.

She couldn't help but say to Jia Zhen with contempt: "If you're going to lie, find a more credible one. Everyone saw the City Guard people when they arrived, and they weren't carrying other things, let alone such a large number of boxes!"

Her voice was very pleasant.

Jia Hui praised Gao Hui with an appreciative look: "This young lady is truly smart. That's right, the lost grain, supplies, and materials discovered are not just these. There are other warehouses, and even under Jia Zhen's bed, short crossbows and armor were found."

"With so many supplies, they must have been moved in secretly."

"And it's impossible for the mansion not to know; there must be a large number of people intricately involved!"

Hearing his praise, Gao Hui felt a subconscious joy in her heart.

Then she realized.

"Wait, didn't I come to settle scores with him? Why am I happy!"

Gao Hui was foolishly stunned.

Immediately, she shook her little head desperately.

Xu Xu Xu Lingyi frowned.

Subconsciously, he felt that this matter seemed to be full of strangeness and suspicion!

But for a moment, he couldn't find anything wrong.

At this moment, he thought of Jia Zhen's words.

And then thought of the grudge between Jia Hui and Jia Zhen.

So he didn't rush to make a judgment.

Instead, he asked the few servants kneeling and guarding the warehouse coldly: "I ask you, did Jia Hui and the others bring any items in? Tell the truth, watch your heads!"

He spoke Jia Hui's name bluntly!

Open and aboveboard!

Those servants all shook their heads and said: "No."

This made Xu Xu Xu Lingyi put down his suspicions.

Since the people of Ningguo Prefecture said so themselves.

What else was there to say?

Immediately.

Xu Xu Xu Lingyi looked at Jia Zhen and his son coldly: "I will report this matter to His Majesty immediately!"

Jia Zhen shouted desperately: "I am wronged, I am wronged, I am wronged! Marquis of Marquis Marquis Yongping, my lord, you must believe me. I, Jia Zhen, wouldn't dare to commit such treason even if I had ten times the courage!"

Hearing him say this.

Instead, it reminded Xu Xu Xu Lingyi of the time many years ago when the Retired Emperor was on the throne.
