Chapter 254: Ghost Soldiers
In the dark night, a group of soldiers of the South Korean army were escorting military pay.
Walking through the Valley of the Ghost Soldiers, the atmosphere around you becomes eerie. The soldiers of the Korean army are well-trained, and although they are in the legendary ghost land, they do not show much fear.
Green eyebrows stood on top of the cliff, looking at the crowd below, in the moonlight, the corners of his mouth showed a smile.
The deeper the fog in the valley, the more it fills the entire valley floor. The figure of the green eyebrow jumped down from the top, with a beautiful figure, but the moment it landed, it disappeared without a trace, and a cloud of mist erupted.
More than a dozen ghost soldiers poured out of the mist, white bones and desolate armor, and green fire burning in their eyes, floating in the air, like a hundred ghosts walking at night.
When the soldiers of the Korean army noticed these ghost soldiers, they let out a panicked shout.
Fear makes these well-trained soldiers behave worse than children at this moment. The spear in his hand was supposed to be a tool for guards, but at this moment he trembled, and he forgot how to use it.
There were also a few brave soldiers who wanted to fight the ghost soldiers, but when the spears in their hands pierced the empty bodies of the ghost soldiers, they were slaughtered instead.
The rest of the soldiers did not dare to confront it, their will was a little firmer and they still stuck to their posts, and the rest hid one after another, showing a look of fear, their bodies were rickety, and they looked cautious.
Until the clouds stopped raining, the moonlight rose again, the fog dissipated, and the ghost soldiers lost their traces, and the Korean soldiers who were hiding showed their heads, but the soldiers who were still sticking to their posts in the chaos roared.
"The pay is gone!"
"The pay is gone!"
Compared to the chaos before the arrival of the ghost soldiers, the soldiers of the Korean army felt real fear at this time.
The chief officer and the soldier who lost the military salary and escorted the military salary could not escape the death penalty, and maybe even his wife and children would be harmed.
At this time, in the hearts of all people, a reason came to mind, a reason to be exempted from guilt.
"Ghost soldiers?"
In the palace of King Han, when King Han heard the news, he was furious.
"Nonsense! Is there any ghost soldier in this world? ”
Confucius said: Respect ghosts and gods and stay away.
King Han didn't know if there were ghosts in this world, but he understood that the 100,000 military salaries were gone, and the Korean soldiers on the front line had to rebel.
This is not a trivial matter, but a major event that will shake the foundation of South Korea.
Compared to ghosts, he still cares more about money.
"Third brother, fourth brother, you have really disappointed the widow. You will not be unaware of the situation in South Korea at this time, and you should also know the importance of this batch of military salaries. ”
Long Quanjun and An Pingjun knelt on the cold floor, very frightened.
"Brother Wang's forgiveness!"
It's just that King Han's anger has not weakened by half a point, and he complains.
"You usually complain that the widow doesn't give you a chance to show your talents. So this time, the widow asked you to carry out such an important task, but is this how you repay the widow? ”
King Han's two brothers fell to their knees, not daring to say a word.
"Say, what's going on?"
The princes are not as good as the Son of Heaven, no matter how weak they look on weekdays, but at this time, King Han is angry, and he still has the majesty of a king.
Long Quanjun was thin and thin, and he was a little afraid in his heart, but his third brother's voice came from his ears.
"Brother Wang forgives sins, Brother Wang forgives sins! It's really a ghost robbery, all the soldiers have seen it, and we don't dare to say anything. The soldiers even privately spread that it was we who killed Zheng Guo's surrender army back then, which caused today's disaster. ”
"Nonsense, Bai Qi killed 400,000 Zhao troops in Changping Pit back then, how can I not see any rumors of ghost soldiers in the Qin State."
King Han was really angry, so much so that he said what he couldn't say as King Han.
"King, I think there is indeed something abnormal in this matter, and a competent person from the court should be sent to investigate."
Just when King Han also felt that he had gone too far, Ji Wuye stood up and said with his hands.
"General, who should I send?"
"The two kings are both members of the royal family, and the interrogators should also be highly respected people in order to convince the public, and I think the Lord Xiangguo is the best candidate."
Zhang Kaidiben also felt that this matter was a little strange, but he didn't expect that Ji Wuye would push this matter onto him.
I feel that there is a big hole in this matter, but in the current situation, it is difficult to refuse openly.
"Your Majesty, Lord Xiangguo is very old, and this case is too weird, I'm afraid it will be quite painstaking. The minister is willing to take over the position. ”
King Han's gaze looked at a young courtier among the courtiers.
"Nangong is wrong, are you sure?"
"Do your best."
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you!"
King Han dispersed the court meeting, and a group of people gathered around Zhang Kaidi.
"Xiangguo, this Ji Wuye asked you to investigate this case, what is your idea?"
He touched his beard openly, and he couldn't say it in his heart, so he finally looked at Nangong Cuo and instructed.
"The stakes are high, you must be careful."
"Students understand."
......
Ji Wuye returned to the mansion and didn't seem very happy.
"This old man is open, there are really many people who send him to death."
At the court meeting, the officials under Zhang Kaidi took over the case for him, which really made Ji Wuye very dissatisfied.
As the head of the Korean family, Zhang Kaidi has always been a thorn in Ji Wuye's eyes and a thorn in his flesh.
However, due to his prestige, Ji Wuye has always been jealous and wants to find a way to take him down. This ghost soldier case is the best excuse.
"Don't worry, general, sooner or later."
The Jade Tiger greeted him with a smile on his face.
"With these 100,000 taels of military salary, we can finally take a breath at night."
During the nightfall, it has been mired in a serious financial deficit, the most important reason for which is the twenty strongholds given to the Mo family.
Thinking of this, the Jade Tiger was a little worried.
"An Pingjun and Longquanjun over there, they won't be able to hold on, right?"
"Rest assured. These two old fellows are not fools, and now they are like this, at most, they will be reprimanded, and if they recruit us, what awaits them will be to seize the land and cut the lord. ”
"But it would be a curse to leave them there. The people in the open field are not vegetarians. ”
"Don't worry, it's really not possible, I will kill those two old guys, and I won't have to give them money afterwards."
Listening to Ji Wuye's unscrupulous words, Jade Tiger was a little worried.
"But after all, they are a royal family, will this cause King Han to be angry?"
After all, the two of them are the royal family of Korea, and they are the younger brothers of King Han, and if they kill them, I am afraid that the trouble will be greater than this robbery case.
Who knew that the Jade Tiger had just finished speaking, but Ji Wuye was laughing.
"Tiger, tiger, you are good at making money, but you are not good at court disputes. King Han doesn't want to see these two younger brothers, if they die, King Han will take the fief of the two of them, and he will earn much more than us. ”
"Then I'll be relieved."
"The top priority at the moment is to recast this batch of military salaries."
"I understand, I've made people do it."
