Chapter 262: Star Soul's worry, Wang Jian's meaning, are they afraid

Ever since becoming the Imperial Preceptor of Great Qin,

Made Ying Zheng had always valued Star Soul very highly.

Many matters would all be handed over to Star Soul to handle.

But ever since the last incident occurred, Made Ying Zheng had slowly distanced himself from their group.

"Tell me, do you think Made Ying Zheng knows something?"

A hint of speculation flashed in the depths of Star Soul's eyes.

Although some of the Hundred Schools of Thought among them were anti-Qin, others relied on Great Qin to obtain cultivation.

Their Yin-Yang School, in Made Ying Zheng's eyes, should be a very useful pawn.

Why would Made Ying Zheng suddenly discard this capable pawn in his hand?

"Do not overthink it; he is not just suspecting you, he might be suspecting everyone."

Donghuang Taiyi knew Made Ying Zheng's current situation.

He dispelled the doubts in Star Soul's heart.

"During this period, has Made Ying Zheng really not let you enter the palace even once?"

Donghuang Taiyi still felt it was somewhat unbelievable.

After all, Star Soul, Luna, and Xu Fu, Lord of the Clouds, were the most capable pawns he had planted within the Qin Palace.

If Star Soul had not received Made Ying Zheng's heavy reuse, then Luna and Xu Fu would likely be even less so.

After all, Luna was too indifferent, while people with ambition like Star Soul were more likely to be valued by Made Ying Zheng.

"Go back and find an opportunity to probe it."

Donghuang Taiyi spoke.

A hint of contemplation flashed in his eyes.

If Made Ying Zheng really gave up choosing to trust them because of this matter.

It might cause a great setback to his subsequent plans.

He must think of a way to make Made Ying Zheng place his trust back onto these people.

Star Soul nodded, and then his figure disappeared before Donghuang Taiyi.

He also prepared to go back and investigate what exactly had happened to make Made Ying Zheng ignore the entire Yin-Yang School.

………

Wang Fu.

Wang Jian quietly listened to the servant's report regarding the affairs of the imperial court during this period.

Ever since he learned of that news last time, he had directly claimed illness and was unwilling to attend the morning court.

Made Ying Zheng also didn't know why, but he actually approved Wang Jian's memorial directly.

During this period, although Wang Jian had not attended the morning court, he had heard about all the storms and rains within Xianyang City.

"You mean to say that His Majesty reprimanded Li Si because of the great drought in the northwest."

"And subsequently, because of Li Si's failure, the imperial court's one hundred thousand in disaster relief silver was lost?"

When Wang Jian mentioned the one hundred thousand in disaster relief silver, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

This one hundred thousand taels of silver.

Had actually disappeared directly.

To say that no one was playing tricks in this, he wouldn't even believe it himself.

"General, that one hundred thousand in disaster relief silver was dumped into the moat by someone right beside the moat."

"And then it completely disappeared without a trace."

Those who could follow by Wang Jian's side were naturally servants who had slaughtered on the battlefield with him.

These servants had all experienced the baptism of blood and slaughter.

Each one was an extremely capable expert.

The news reported to Wang Jian had all been investigated.

"Have you gone into the water to see if there are any traces under the water?"

Wang Jian asked with furrowed brows.

"This subordinate personally sent people into the water to investigate."

"There is simply no trace of any silver in the water."

"If someone had been lying in ambush in the water early on, they would definitely have left traces."

"But I carefully checked those, and didn't discover any traces."

A hint of doubt also flashed in the eyes of this subordinate.

He was also very puzzled about how this batch of silver had disappeared without anyone knowing.

"You say that what fell into the river, could it really not be silver?"

Wang Jian pondered this point.

"This subordinate had also thought so before."

"But at the time, there were many people present who all saw it."

"I also secretly went to ask those people in private; those people saw with their own eyes that the gleaming white silver all fell into the water."

"Those people guaranteed to me with certainty that they absolutely could not have seen it wrong."

If it were just one or two, this subordinate would not have believed their words so easily.

But what if it were dozens or hundreds of people present who all said so?

Wang Jian took a deep breath.

This was indeed an irrefutable fact.

"His Majesty, because of this matter, actually held Li Si accountable directly."

"This does make me somewhat surprised."

"You must know, Li Si has always been highly valued in front of His Majesty."

Wang Jian's brows slowly furrowed. ===== CHAPTER 264 =====
