Chapter 314 The Origin of the Tiger Tally
Due to the incompetence of the previous emperor, the Great Chang Kingdom experienced more than 10 years of turmoil.

The Crown Prince at the time, who is now Emperor Minghua, spent a great deal of manpower and resources to stop the unrest.

There was a legendary armored army that was personally trained by a great general more than 100 years ago. That army only obeyed the great general and the emperor. It was because of that armored army that the Great Chang Kingdom was able to maintain peaceful development for decades.

At that time, none of the surrounding countries dared to invade.

Later on, the emperor became increasingly tempted by fame and fortune, and even wanted to become a dictatorial monarch.

To prevent the abuse of military power, the general created a special tiger tally, which was then divided in two. One part was kept in the general's residence, and the other part was given to the emperor.

Only when the two tiger tallies are combined into one can the Ironclad Divine Army be mobilized.

If this force can be mobilized, the turmoil in the Great Chang Kingdom can be quickly quelled.

Unfortunately, despite their best efforts, they only managed to find half of the tiger tally in the palace; the other half was nowhere to be found.

The leader of the Ironclad Divine Army concealed his whereabouts, only stating that he would not send out his troops until he had the complete Tiger Tally.

Otherwise, they would never appear even if the dynasty were to fall.

Now, under the rule of Emperor Minghua, the Great Chang Kingdom is gradually shaking off the negative impact of the turmoil of the past.

But that doesn't mean they no longer need the tiger tally.

Qin Huai had heard of the Tiger Tally, but he was too young, and the Duke of Yong had never told him what it looked like.

Now, seeing this seemingly insignificant thing before him, his eyes darkened, as if he were thinking of something.

Duke Yongguo held the tiger tally in front of him, looked at it again and again, and then picked it up and put it into a jade box.

Then, in front of Qin Huai, he placed the jade box into a discreet, dark room in the study.

"Grandpa, shouldn't we hand it over to the imperial family?" Qin Huai asked.

Possessing a tiger tally is a serious crime. Even with an empress, the Duke of Yong's mansion shouldn't be so ostentatious, should they?
The Duke of Yongguo said, "This thing can be in anyone's hands, but it cannot be given to the imperial family."

If the imperial family were to possess this tiger tally, they would have all the necessary items. At that point, Emperor Minghua would lose his true nature, and another wave of devastation would ensue.

That would truly be a losing proposition.

Qin Huai wanted to ask, since his maternal grandfather didn't intend to hand it over to the Tian family, why did he still want to see it?
Was it because they thought he was too young to understand the significance of the tiger tally, or was it for some other purpose?
It's no wonder Qin Huai had such thoughts. He had lived under someone else's roof since he was a child, growing up in the Yongguo Duke's mansion. Everyone around him, including the servants, would openly or secretly say that he was an illegitimate child.

Even if the Duke of Yongguo took him to the battlefield, people would only laugh at him behind his back, saying that he was being used as a pawn.

His mother was called "Madam" by the servants.

But Qin Huai couldn't find out which family's wife she was.

Perhaps it's not that he can't find out, but that someone doesn't want him to.

He is young, and so far he has only subdued those guards with the surname Chi. Some of them are still her people, such as Chi Jia, Chi Bing, Chi Tu, and Chi She. They can now be considered as having been subdued.

Qin Huai thought to himself that, in his mother's eyes, his previous conversation with her was a case of him lowering himself to marry a peasant girl.

However, Qin Huai felt that even if Ayu's original background was tragic and difficult, and she was not liked by her biological father, it was obvious who her parents were.

It's much better than him, this illegitimate child whose origins are unclear.

Just then, the Duke of Yongguo left without anyone noticing, and Chijia pushed open the door and showed the remaining items to Qin Huai.

It was the IOU that Old Mrs. Wang gave him.

A thousand taels of gold.

Qin Huai smiled, clutched the IOU in his palm, and said in a low voice, "Tell me when Madam arrives."
