Chapter 514
Xia Jiang said with anger!
Yet he could not do anything directly!
If he dared to make a move.
The people opposite him could drown him with just one spit each!
He had always been accustomed to using power to suppress others.
Encountering a ruthless character.
It became difficult to handle.
Other than requesting an imperial decree from the Retired Emperor and mobilizing a large army to suppress them.
"Please do."
Jia Hui replied indifferently.
His actions, while seemingly reckless.
Were actually flawless.
As the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War.
He naturally had his own status, dignity, and authority.
For Xia Jiang to want to mobilize him without an imperial decree.
Was a joke.
Even if he did not comply, the civil and military officials at court could not criticize him!
Even if the Retired Emperor was displeased.
He could not strip him of his title or dismiss him from his post based on this.
.......... 0
At most, he would harbor a grudge and wait for an opportunity to catch Jia Hui in an actual mistake to retaliate later.
The shocked and angry Xia Jiang did not waste any more words on Jia Hui.
Instead, he immediately said to his disciple Xia Qiu: "Go immediately and inform the Great General of Divine Might, Feng Tang, and have him mobilize troops to come and reinforce us!"
"Yes!"
Xia Qiu left immediately.
Jia Hui smiled at Xia Jiang: "I have always heard that the Xuanjing Bureau is adept at solving cases; surely you will be able to solve the Song Prefecture theft case very quickly, right?"
He was digging a pit for the other party.
The five hundred thousand taels of silver were all hidden in his own space right now!
Unless you are a god!
Otherwise, it is impossible to solve!
Of course!
There is one other possibility.
That is to pay out of one's own pocket or find five hundred thousand taels of silver from somewhere to fill this deficit!
But one would assume the other party is not that stupid.
Therefore, this case is absolutely unsolvable!
Naturally, one can watch the other party make a fool of themselves!
And then.
The embarrassed and angry Xia Jiang.
Probably would not let Ling Buyi and the others go either, and would surely resort to torture!
Killing two birds with one stone!
No!
It is actually killing three birds with one stone!
This way, I can also extricate myself.
Avoiding the embarrassment of becoming a myth shattered because I could not solve this case!
Jia Hui held back his laughter, feeling incredibly refreshed inside, laughing uncontrollably: "Listen to me, thank you, because of you, the four seasons were warmed."
"He is truly, I could cry, it was enough that Ling Buyi took the fall for the five hundred thousand for me, I am already thrilled to death!"
"I never imagined that you, Xia Jiang, would actually rush to deliver yourself to me, taking on another big burden of being unable to solve the case!"
"Brother Xia Jiang, thank you so much!" Nine.
【369】 The generous widowed beauty Xia Dong! Scheming and watching the joke, fleeing in shame and disarray
Jia Hui, secretly happy in his heart.
Chose to stay and watch the joke.
Hearing his words.
Xia Jiang snorted coldly, his face gloomy, not wanting to speak to him!
However, Xia Dong, who had been quiet all along, opened her lips and said: "Marquis Wushuang, there is no case that our Xuanjing Bureau cannot solve; a mere theft case will certainly be solved!"
In her view.
This theft case involved a huge sum of five hundred thousand taels.
With so many people guarding it day and night.
Solving it should absolutely not be difficult.
So she appeared full of confidence!
Her words.
Were also the sentiment of Xia Jiang and the others!
All of them wore faces full of confidence!
Looking at Xia Dong, the younger sister of Xia Qiu.
Jia Hui took a few more looks at this beautiful woman.
She was the only one in the entire scene not dressed in black or gray; although she still wore a black cloak, she was dressed in purple women's clothing. Despite the tight-sleeved, narrow-cuffed, and long-booted "820" attire, the embroidery on the front and the tassels at her waist managed to harmonize the mysterious, neutral temperament of this woman, making her look slightly pretty and charming amidst her heroic spirit.
Her figure was tall and slender, her long hair half-tied and half-draped, simply bound with a silk ribbon, wearing no hairpins or rings, and a strand of gray hair amidst her dark clouds was still very conspicuous.
Her eyes were deep, with a look that seemed to be smiling yet not.
Compared to Wu Siyue and An Baitan.
Her temperament was equally unique, each with its own flavor.
In Jia Hui's memory.
This woman was the wife of the Red Flame Army's vanguard general, Nie Feng.
Her personality was generous, she was deeply affectionate and righteous, her martial arts were exquisite, and she was fair and impartial in enforcing the law.
For many years, she had been secretly investigating the Red Flame Army treason case and the whereabouts of her husband, never expecting that her master, Xia Jiang, whom she respected more than her father, was actually one of the masterminds behind that "treason case" all those years ago.
"In my memory, the disappearance she was investigating was her husband, Nie Feng, who was presumed dead. In reality, during the Battle of Meiling, his entire body was scorched by fire, and he fell into a nest of snow-mites, surviving by the poison of fire and cold, his body covered in hair, and after escaping into the capital, he was mistaken for a monster."
"In the original work, after Prince Yu rebelled, he was captured by the Prince Jing's mansion troops, and Mei Changsu recognized his true identity. Later, after treatment by Consort Jing and Lin Chen, the toxicity was suppressed, and his physical strength was basically restored. After Prince Jing supervised the state and handled government affairs, the old Red Flame case was cleared, and Nie Feng restored his identity."
"As for now, I can consider how to proceed."
"I find this Xia Jiang unpleasant to look at; it would be better to use this Xia Dong to get rid of Xia Jiang!"
"As for how to specifically plan this, I need to go back and discuss it with Jia Xu and the others before making a decision."
In Jia Hui's heart, he thought calmly.
Besides.
Such a beautiful woman, he was reluctant to let her go!
Thinking of beautiful women.
He could not help but think of Cheng Shaoshang's mother, Xiao Yuanyi!
"It has been a few days, I do miss her a little..." Jia Hui pondered secretly.
While Jia Hui was secretly letting his thoughts wander.
