Both country officials were thinking of various ways to disrupt the mining process.Zemru officials decide to bribe the workers in allocating the supplies to lessen and tamper it.
The horses and carts they were travelling were also slightly deformed. The food supplies are contaminated. The troops were decided to set off in the afternoon,after going to five miles the horses began to ruffle back and forth.A drug was given to horses while feeding them.
The carts started to ramble leading to the goods to be spoiled or wasted. The horses ruffle made the workers to tremble and began to feel uneasy.
By evening,there were already enough ruckus. They have no other option but to halt,preserve until the turmoil subside.
While they were organizing the food supplies they found out that the supplies are inedible. Anger rose in Lin Zhen's eyes ,his dark eyes narrowed and bone chilling aura made people flinch in fear. It was like standing in the"middle of nowhere".
He contemplated what to do now.
He closed his eyes,took a deep breath,after a deep thought he shouted "retreat" through gritted teeth.
They cant proceed further, the condition is simply pathetic. They cant proceed further with the supplies in their hand. The inedible food,unstable horses and the essential items being spoiled , left with no option,he need to go back to the capital.
He need to report it,the person in the dark should be known to others. Only then,he can successfully finish the mining project. The troops retreated and reached the capital by night. The king was suprised to see the troops returning back,while they started the bon voyage in the afternoon.He was bemused to see the devastated look on the people's faces.
Lin Zhen's face was no less than others.He produced the evidences of inedible food,disassemble ment of weapons making his enragement evident in his face.Unable to hide his frown he let out an exasperated sigh.
He requested for an investigation on this irresponsible behaviour of the officials and requested conviction.
King face turned ugly and said " the officials who are responsible for the arrangement are to be presented before the court" he ordered.
The officials are presented before the king shortly.
The officials trembled at the murderous and intent glare which fell on them from king and Lin Zhen in fear.
King roared "You Dare To Defy My Orders". The officials and the others presented in the court are pertified by the sudden roar in the court.
" One Hundered Whips for everyone involved in the arrangement and allocation of goods for the travel".
The officials are shaking in fear, while they were carried away by the soldiers for punishment.
King watched the penalizing of the officials while receiving their conviction.
He also ordered that ,the officials are stripped off from their post in the court and no concession or benefits are available for them.
Lin Zhen was fuming in rage,since his work has been delayed because of them.
The main culprit is still hidden in the dark ,making impossible for him to control his rage.
