Chapter 28: If There Are Ghosts and Gods, Then Slay Them!
"Does the King have this question because of the ghost soldiers taking lives that has been making a lot of noise recently?"
In the palace room, Su Xuan's eyes were calm as he said to the Han Wang.
A flash of surprise flashed in the Han Wang's eyes, but he didn't hide it: "I won't hide it from you, Sir, it is indeed because of this matter!"
"I don't know how you knew about it, Sir?"
Su Xuan laughed: "First, ghost soldiers robbed the pay, and one hundred thousand taels of gold military pay disappeared. Then, ghost soldiers took lives, and those who wanted to investigate the truth died one after another... These two things have been making a lot of noise recently. Not only are they spreading outside the palace, but they have even entered the palace."
"Although I have always been refining pills and cultivating here, this does not mean that I am completely unaware of what is happening outside."
"From time to time, someone will come to me and tell me some of the latest news from the outside world."
The Han Wang listened to Su Xuan's narration quietly and immediately knew who told Su Xuan about this: "It's that girl Honglian!"
Although Honglian grew up in the palace and the Han Wang protected her very well, she couldn't help but yearn for the outside world, so whether she would sneak out of the palace, the Han Wang knew it well and didn't deliberately stop her. As long as the other party knew the measure and came back on time, he could pretend not to see it.
However, he didn't expect that the relationship between Honglian and Mr. Su had reached such a point.
From time to time, she would come to Mr. Su's place and tell him what happened outside the palace.
"This matter was indeed told to me by Princess Honglian!"
Su Xuan nodded and said.
It was also from Honglian's mouth that he heard about this matter, and he suddenly realized that he had unknowingly reached the so-called "plot" time point.
This made him feel some emotion.
But that was all.
After the Han Wang learned the whole story, he didn't have any intention to scold Honglian or blame her for spreading this matter wildly, and continued to ask Su Xuan: "Then what do you think about this matter, Sir?"
He was still the same question as before: are there really ghosts and gods in this world?
Su Xuan said indifferently: "The theory of ghosts and gods has existed for a long time. In the past, the State of Han destroyed the State of Zheng, and even turned the Zheng palace into the current palace. If those ghosts of the State of Zheng really exist, it is not strange that they would take revenge on the State of Han out of national hatred and family enmity!"
The Han Wang's expression was solemn, and a look of panic appeared on his face: "Are you saying, Sir, that the ghost soldiers are real?"
Ghost gods taking lives, the living cannot defend against them at all. Now these ghost soldiers have only taken his military pay and killed those who tried to explore the truth.
If one day, the ghosts and gods want to take revenge on him, the King, what should he do?
Although the destruction of the State of Zheng was not done by him.
But the current State of Han is indeed rooted in the capital of the State of Zheng and the royal city of the State of Zheng.
The Zheng in Xinzheng is the Zheng of the State of Zheng.
In panic, the Han Wang saw Su Xuan in front of him again, as if a drowning ant had found the last straw, and hurriedly said to Su Xuan: "Please help me, Sir!"
In his desperation, he did not even address himself as "the lonely one," but instead used "I" to refer to himself.
"The King doesn't need to be anxious!" Su Xuan appeared very calm: "Although I haven't denied the existence of ghosts and gods, the ghost soldier incident, if you think about it carefully, really has many doubts."
"Oh?" The Han Wang looked at Su Xuan in surprise and confusion.
Su Xuan is a master who can summon wind and rain, and the elixirs he refines made him experience the feeling of being young.
The theory of ghosts and gods is a mysterious and unexplorable existence for ordinary people, but he is still willing to believe the words of this master.
If you say that in the huge State of Han, who can deal with these ghosts and gods, then it must be this one.
"The ghost soldiers robbing the pay, because I am not a party involved, I don't know the details, so I will skip it for now. Let's just talk about the ghost soldiers taking lives. On the surface, it is those ghost soldiers who don't want to be disturbed, so they killed those chief investigators who tried to explore the truth!"
"But don't you find it strange, Your Majesty?"
The Han Wang didn't understand: "Where is it strange?"
"Not to mention that these chief investigators didn't offend these ghost soldiers before. Since the ghost soldiers appeared outside the city, why did they suddenly come to the city to commit crimes? Moreover, if it was because they were disturbed, so they killed the people who explored the truth, the people who transported the military pay that day were not few. They could be considered to have witnessed the appearance of the ghost soldiers. As a result, those ghost soldiers chose to let them go... even if they started to take lives at this moment, none of those people died!"
When the Han Wang heard Su Xuan's words, he also came back to his senses.
Yes!
Even if the ghost soldiers wanted to take lives for revenge, why did only the chief investigators die?
On the day the military pay was transported, those soldiers who witnessed the appearance of the ghost soldiers and even tried to attack the ghost soldiers, why did none of them have an accident?
Earlier, because one hundred thousand taels of military pay were robbed, the Han Wang was furious, and there was the ghost soldiers taking lives, which made him feel some panic in addition to anger, so that he lost his most basic judgment.
At this moment, in front of Su Xuan, this master, perhaps because Su Xuan gave him confidence and courage.
So he gradually calmed down.
Now that I think about it, it is indeed a bit wrong.
The ghost soldiers killing those chief investigators is like deliberately preventing some people from finding out the truth and preventing them from finding the lost military pay.
The ghost soldiers robbing the pay is not done by ghosts and gods, but... by humans!
The Han Wang couldn't help but have such a guess, and his heart suddenly froze.
Immediately afterwards, he hesitated again.
However, what if it was really done by ghosts and gods?
He frowned, then relaxed, and looked at Su Xuan in front of him again: "Sir?"
Su Xuan said: "Since the King has found me here, I have received so many benefits from the King during this period, and it is a bit unreasonable to continue to sit idly by."
"If it is really done by ghosts and gods, I would like to see if the ghosts and gods are more powerful, or if my Dao sword is stronger!"
"Good!"
The Han Wang suddenly spoke loudly: "With this sentence from you, Sir, I feel much more at ease!"
"Please help me find out the truth, Sir!" ===== CHAPTER 30 =====
