Chapter 148 Confrontation
"Let's go in!" Han Fei said.
He took Wei Zhuang and Zhang Liang all the way to the Accord where Jiang Yu was. After being told by Xuan Jian, the three of them walked in together.
"You are back." Zi Nu's eyes swept over Han Fei, Wei Zhuang and Zhang Liang's faces. Although the three of them looked as normal, Zi Nu was good at observing the words and expressions. Seeing that the atmosphere on the three of them was a little solemn, she couldn't help but say surprise: "It seems you have failed?"
"I have to ask Mr. Jiang." Han Fei smiled faintly, bowed to Jiang Xu seriously and without any politeness, "Han Fei, the ninth son of South Korea, has seen Mr. Shenwei of Zhao."
Seeing that Han Fei was so formal, Jiang Yu was not rude, so he quickly stood up and replied, "Jiang Yu has seen the Ninth Master. Please sit down, please sit down."
After everyone took their seats, Jiang Xi asked first: "Young Master Jiu, what did you want to ask me?"
Han Fei's eyes were slightly confused, and he looked at Jiang Yan and asked bluntly: "Is my 100,000-yuan military salary from South Korea robbed by Jiang Hou?"
Han Fei knew that if he was indirectly whispering Jiang Yu and wasting time wasted, he would be likely to be distracted by Jiang Yu, and Jiang Yu would not admit it directly. Even if Han Fei tried anything in his words, he could not prove Jiang Yu.
Moreover, the situation is urgent now, and he must immediately test Jiang Yan's intentions and then make the next plan.
So this time, Han Fei directly met Jiang Yu as the "Nine Young Masters of South Korea" in order to place the identities of both sides in the position of the country, rather than in the private identity.
In this way, although many etiquette issues should be paid attention to, Jiang Yu could not avoid answering Han Fei's questions.
"Ah?" Nong Yu exclaimed when he heard this, looked at Jiang Xi first, and then explained to Han Fei: "Young Master Ninth, you've made a mistake. Mr. Jiang has been staying in Zilanxuan tonight. It's impossible for him to rob military pay?"
Although Nong Yu has not been involved in the Zi Nu’s affairs at present, she lives in Zi Lanxuan and has heard of these things.
"Sister Nongyu." Zi Nu pulled Nongyu and signaled Nongyu not to interrupt with her eyes.
Jiang Qi showed a grateful look to Nong Yu, then turned to Han Fei and said, "There are rumors that the ghost soldiers of Zheng State robbed the military pay. Could it be that the ninth prince thinks that the ghost soldiers of Zheng State are the ghost soldiers?"
If Han Fei asked this question in his private capacity, Jiang Xu could have pretended to be angry and then left.
But since Han Fei visited Jiang Yu as an official identity, even if Jiang Yu was just talking nonsense, he could not avoid answering Han Fei’s suspicion.
Although Jiang Yu came to South Korea as a private identity, outsiders did not know all this, but since he had already put up his official identity, it involved the national issue.
"At the time when Ji Wuye intentionally robbed military pay, the information that Jiang Hou got first and then told us, why did he push everything on the ghost soldiers now?" Wei Zhuang said at the right time.
"Ah! That's what Ji Wuye robbed the military pay." Jiang Yu smiled and said in a 'good intention' tone: "After learning about Ji Wuye's conspiracy, I will reveal the information to you for the friendly relations between Zhao and South Korea. But it's okay if you don't thank me, why are you still framed me?"
"It's true that Ji Wuye robbed the military pay, but someone took it away from Ji Wuye's general pay." Han Fei said in a deep voice.
"It seems that you have found out Ji Wuye's problem and planned two serious crimes: "Ghost Soldiers' robbery and payroll" and "Ghost Soldiers' killing". The crimes committed by Ji Wuye are enough to destroy the three clans!" Jiang Xi said with a smile: "I heard that the Ninth Prince is a descendant of the Legal Family and is taught by Xunzi of the Confucianism. I wonder what the Ninth Prince is going to punish Ji Wuye?"
The reason why Jiang Yu dared to debate with Han Fei was naturally sure of winning.
Although Jiang Xi put all his actions in front of Wei Zhuang, they only knew that Jiang Xi had acted, but they did not have any evidence.
In this case, unless Han Fei can let Jiang Yu personally admit that he had robbed the military pay like Ji Wuye, they would have no way to take Jiang Yu.
Moreover, Jiang Xu's problem directly points to Han Fei's pain point.
He could not cure Ji Wuye's sin at all.
"Although all the clues at present point are directed to Ji Wuye, we have not yet obtained enough evidence to prove Ji Wuye. We in South Korea will naturally continue to investigate this matter." Han Fei said seriously: "I came to see Mr. Jiang this time because someone took military pay from Ji Wuye."
"So, do you suspect I did it?" Jiang Yan asked with a smile.
"Although South Korea is the territory of the Ninth Prince, and I don't have the identity of an envoy of Zhao State, even so, do you think I'm easy to bully?" Jiang Yan said coldly.
Han Fei hurriedly bowed and said, "Fei did not mean to bully Mr. Jiang. If it was proved later that all this was a misunderstanding, Han Fei would personally apologize to Mr. Jiang."
"Since I'm investigating the case and I'm a suspect, then if you have any questions, please ask. I'm open and honest, so I'm not afraid of investigation." Speaking of this, Jiang Yu suddenly changed his tone and said, "But I heard that King Han has ordered that the ghost soldiers no longer be investigated. Is it not that Prince Ninth disobeying the king's orders and continues to investigate privately?"
"The murder of ghost soldiers is of great importance. In recent days, people in Xinzheng are panic. In order to appease the hearts of the people, the father did not investigate the matter on the surface, but he has handed the case to me for investigation in private." Han Fei said.
"So that's it." Jiang Xi shrugged and asked, "Young Master Ninth suspects that I took military pay from Ji Wuye, but is there any evidence?"
"Did Mr. Jiang send someone to sneak into Ji Wuye's mansion on the night two days ago?" Han Fei looked like he was doing business.
"No!" Jiang Xu naturally would not admit anything without evidence.
Han Fei looked solemn and said, "But not long after someone saw Ji Wuye's mansion caught fire that day, Jiang Hou came to Zilanxuan."
"That's just a coincidence." Jiang Xu said.
Han Fei nodded, and then asked: "Someone saw that Jiang Hou's personal guard Xuan Jian was not by Jiang Hou's side. It seemed to be going to do business for Jiang Hou. I wonder if Jiang Hou could tell me where Xuan Jian went that day?"
"Outside the city!"
"What are you doing when you go out of the city?"
"Send a batch of goods back to Raoan." Jiang Yu said with a smile.
"What goods?" Han Fei asked, "Don't worry, the people in the house are trustworthy people, and even if the matter is closely related, no one will reveal it."
"I am doing it right and sitting upright, and there is no secret that cannot be told." Jiang Yu smiled indifferently: "That batch of goods is gold, a total of 100,000 taels."
Han Fei was stunned when he heard this. He never expected that Jiang Yu, who had strongly denied the matter at the beginning, would suddenly admit it.
"Where did the gold come from?" Han Fei asked.
