Chapter 19

~7 min read 1,289 words

In the previous court meeting, the King of Han was originally prepared to appoint Prime Minister Zhang Kaidi as the chief investigator to find out the truth about the ghost soldiers.

But at the last moment, because he thought of the mystery of ghost gods, he changed his mind temporarily and did not accept the suggestion of Great General Ji Ji Wuye.

It was not that he felt sorry for Prime Minister Zhang Kaidi and could not bear to entrust this important task to him.

It was because there is a specialty in the art, and the Prime Minister is a good hand at handling government affairs, but dealing with ghost gods is probably beyond his reach.

Compared to the Prime Minister, he has a better candidate.

On the way, the only thing that made him a bit uneasy was whether Mr. Su would be willing to help him deal with these ethereal ghost gods.

The result surprised him a bit; Mr. Su readily agreed to help him.

The King of Han decisively appointed Su Xuan as the investigator.

Just at this moment, Su Xuan spoke again: "But there is one more thing, I must get an accurate answer from Your Majesty first!"

"What is it?"

The King of Han asked curiously.

"About Lord Lord Longquan and Lord Lord Anping!" Su Xuan said bluntly: "The two of them personally transported the military pay that day. After the ghost soldiers robbed the pay, those chief investigators did not dare to investigate them because of their status."

"If I investigate the case, should I investigate these two or not?"

The King of Han did not hesitate much: "Investigate!"

"This is the power I give you, Mr. Su. As long as you are willing, you can investigate anyone from the royal family to the common people!"

For ordinary officials, Lord Lord Longquan and Lord Lord Anping are royal families and noble. As long as they are unwilling, ordinary officials cannot even see them, let alone investigate the case.

But for the King of Han, these two are nothing at all.

Mr. Su wants to investigate you, which is looking up to you. What qualifications do you have to be unwilling?

Moreover, just because you lost my military pay, I didn't blame you, which is already giving you enough face.

Earlier, the King of Han thought it was ghost soldiers robbing the pay, so he didn't get too angry at his two younger brothers, and even sent people to send some medicinal herbs to comfort them. After all, they witnessed the ghost soldiers robbing the pay, so it was inevitable that they would be frightened.

But now, through Su Xuan’s words, he had some guesses. For example, the ghost soldiers robbing the pay and taking lives were actually done by man.

What role his two younger brothers played in it is worth pondering.

The next day.

Another court meeting was held early.

As soon as the court meeting began.

Great General Ji Ji Wuye began to recommend again. Like yesterday, he recommended Prime Minister Zhang Kaidi as the investigator.

In Ji Ji Wuye’s view, the King hesitated yesterday because he hadn't made up his mind for a while.

Now, the ghost soldiers taking lives are still unresolved, and the King, after a night of thinking, must have agreed to his proposal in order to solve the problem urgently and appoint Zhang Kaidi as the investigator.

Upon hearing Ji Ji Wuye’s recommendation, Zhang Kaidi’s face was gloomy.

He finally escaped a disaster yesterday, but he didn't expect that today, Ji Ji Wuye was still not ready to let him go.

He was about to speak and say some words of refusal, such as poor health, such as the Great General’s power can rival ghost gods and he is definitely not afraid of ghost gods, wanting to drag Ji Ji Wuye into the water.

Just as he was about to speak.

The King of Han spoke first: "Regarding the ghost soldiers taking lives, I have already found a more suitable investigator!"

Ji Ji Wuye and Zhang Kaidi were startled, and the other civil and military ministers in the court were also a bit puzzled.

Immediately, they heard the King of Han say: "Mr. Su, come in!"

A young man in a green shirt with a wooden hairpin on his head and no extra decoration walked in slowly. As the young man stepped into the court, a faint breeze blew. The breeze blew across their faces, and everyone felt refreshed. Looking at the young man again, many people subconsciously had the feeling of "truly an immortal."

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

After the young man arrived at the court, he ignored the civil and military ministers who were staring at him and gave a simple Daoist salute to the King of Han sitting on the throne.

"It’s him!"

After breaking free from that strange feeling, many people recognized Su Xuan’s identity.

For Su Xuan, they were not unfamiliar.

On that day under the scorching sun, Su Xuan stood on the high platform, and the scene where he summoned the wind and then the rain not only made the King of Han feel like a god, but for many ministers, it was also a scene they had only seen once in their lives.

Like seeing a god, that’s the feeling!

In the court, although some people did not believe in the theory of ghost gods, most people still believed it.

Otherwise, it would not be possible to be terrified and fearful because of the ghost soldiers robbing the pay and the ghost soldiers taking lives.

They did not witness the ghost soldiers robbing the pay and the ghost soldiers taking lives.

But they saw Su Xuan summoning wind and rain with their own eyes.

This is a true master with supreme magic power.

If it weren't for the fact that Su Xuan had been served by the King of Han in the Wang Gong since that day, some of them who believed in the theory of ghost gods and immortals would have wanted to visit Su Xuan to seek the way of immortals and gods.

Even so, after that day, they would try to inquire about the latest movements of this master.

Such as the other party refining elixirs and making medicine for the King in the palace.

At this moment, after seeing Su Xuan, they immediately reacted.

This Mr. Su can not only refine elixirs and make medicine.

He also has the ability to summon wind and rain.

Although ghost gods are terrifying, they may not be able to get any good results against this person.

Even Prime Minister Zhang Kaidi, who kept ghost gods at a distance and did not believe in ghost gods, felt that the King had found the right person this time.

For ghost god matters, you should find a professional!

He absolutely did not want to admit that it was because Su Xuan took over the investigation that he escaped the chaos.

Ji Ji Wuye was furious when he saw Su Xuan appear and Zhang Kaidi escape a disaster.

He wanted to say something, but when the words reached his lips, he finally held back.

Reasonably and legally, the investigator chosen by the King of Han, except for not having an official position, was extremely suitable in every way, so he really couldn't say anything.

A court meeting thus came to an end.

Under the unanimous determination of many civil and military ministers, Su Xuan became the investigator and was about to help the King of Han find out the truth about the ghost soldier case.

And when this matter spread and reached the ears of others, it also caused some new waves.
