Song Xuan said with great interest: "Then how did you and this Wei Wang Ji Changkong become enemies?"
Ji Xiao took a deep breath, "Three years ago, after the sixth prince became the prince, the second prince Ji Changkong lost the opportunity to compete for the prince. He was canonized as King of Wei and his fiefdom was in Tangzhou."
"But Ji Changkong was unwilling to leave the imperial capital, so he kept dragging his feet and would enter the palace from time to time to pay his respects to the emperor and the empress.
This situation has been dragging on for half a year.
The emperor has always liked Ji Changkong's son, and has said several times that he is the son most similar to him. Therefore, the emperor has a high tolerance for King Wei. Even if the other party keeps delaying the vassal, the emperor will also There was no urging. "
Having said this, Ji Xiao took a deep breath and said, "Since you have checked the information on the humble position, you should know that I had a wife before.
She comes from a scholarly family, and her father is an imperial envoy.
When I was young, I was obsessed with martial arts and had no interest in women, so I kept putting off getting married until one day when I returned from a business trip, I happened to meet her shopping on the streets of the imperial capital. Then, I was attracted by the bookish aura on her body. Living.
Later, I got married to her, and my married life has been very happy. The emperor valued me very much at first, and in order to win over me, he made my wife a royal concubine. The queen also called her into the palace from time to time to chat and relieve her boredom.
I was very happy at the time and had no intention of stopping it until that day.
That day, my wife came back from the palace with dull eyes and a dazed expression. Later, after my questioning, I found out that she met King Wei who went to pay respects to the queen in the palace. Before leaving, he was pulled into a side hall and given birth to a child. Raped! "
Ji Xiao clenched his fists, "I went to the old emperor to ask for justice, and the emperor called King Wei to the imperial study for a confrontation.
But the king of Wei insisted that he had never done anything about it and would not admit it at all.
This matter is not a glorious matter, and it cannot be investigated with great fanfare. The emperor was also in the middle to mediate, and the situation was not as good as that of others, so I could only knock out my teeth and swallow it in my stomach, and endured it for the time being. "
"Later, my wife went crazy and hanged herself one day while I was at the Yamen to arrange errands.
The King of Wei was probably also worried that I would go crazy and make things worse, so he left the imperial capital that day and went to Tangzhou to join the vassal state. "
Speaking of this, Ji Xiao's eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes, "Since then, I have been a stranger to the emperor, and I no longer obey his orders.
Sir, in this humble position, all I can think about now is killing Ji Changkong. I don't care about power, but only by staying in the position of deputy commander can I have the opportunity to cause trouble for King Wei and take revenge.
If you think that I am of some use, if you are willing to help me in this humble position, my life, Ji Xiao's, will be yours from now on! "
Song Xuan was silent for a while, then sighed, "Get up and talk!"
"Thank you, sir!"
Ji Xiao felt at ease. He knew that his frankness had finally gained some favor from the commander, and his position as deputy commander was saved for the time being.
"Tell me about King Wei. You should have investigated him in the past two years or so, right?"
Ji Xiao said hurriedly: "The humble position did use its power to investigate him. The more I investigated, the more frightened I became."
“Not only is this man highly skilled in martial arts, but he is even more powerful than the old emperor in terms of strategizing.
He became a vassal in Tangzhou, and in less than a year, he almost ignored Yang Guang, the governor of the state. Almost half of the wealthy families in various prefectures and counties had secretly defected to him.
Not only that, he also secretly supports Jianghu forces and woos martial arts sects. Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Zen Temple, the holy places of martial arts in Tangzhou, seem to have deep connections with him. "
Song Xuan frowned in displeasure, "You are also the deputy commander of Xuanyi Guard after all. Your wife was raped and forced to death. You are just investigating in secret and you can't touch him?"
Ji Xiao sighed, "Sir, I don't want to take revenge, but his power is too great. Even if I am the deputy commander of Xuanyi Guard, it is extremely difficult to touch him.
Not to mention King Wei's own cultivation level, nor his status in the royal family, just the martial arts forces he has attracted. If you want to touch him, you have to mobilize at least several first-class Xuanyi guards.
But the first-class Xuanyi guards can't even be moved by the emperor, so how can I use them?
Moreover, the relationship between Ye Tian and I is not good, and it is even less likely that he would use a powerful weapon like a first-class Xuanyi guard for my sake! "
Song Xuan pondered for a while.
Ji Xiao felt uneasy. He didn't know how the young Lord Song would react after knowing the origin of his enemy.
But he knew that any decision he made next would be related to his future destiny. Whether he lived or died, he would just wait for his next words.
"If what you say is true and your wife was indeed raped by this King of Wei and committed suicide, then this so-called King of Wei..."
Song Xuan chuckled twice, "Get him!"
Ji Xiao opened his eyes wide and couldn't believe it.
The King of Wei is the de facto king of the vassal. The two have only officially met today, and there is no friendship between them. This commander, is he willing to stand up for himself in just a few words?
"Surprised?"
Song Xuan's face was calm, "To be honest, after hearing what happened to you, I realized how far the power of our Xuanyi Guards has declined?"
"I won't mention whose influence you borrowed to join the Xuanyi Guard, but as the deputy commander of the Xuanyi Guard, your wife was raped and forced to death, but you were unable to do anything to deal with the murderer, which surprised me.
If even a high-ranking and powerful person like you can't get justice, then is there any justice in this world? "
"What I just said about getting him was not a joke, so you don't have to be surprised!"
"I am not standing up for you, but I am standing up for my Xuanyi Guard!"
"Don't tell me that you are the deputy commander of Xuanyi Guard. Even if you are an ordinary Xiao Qi, I will still come forward when encountering this kind of thing!
Even if the members of my Xuanyi Guard are humiliated, they cannot seek justice. How can I have the dignity to bully the world and terrify the world! "
"grown ups!"
Ji Xiao trembled all over and knelt down on one knee again in excitement, "Sir, with your words, I, Ji Xiao, will be your die-hard loyalist from now on. You can take this life from me at any time!"
"Get up, don't kneel down all the time!"
Song Xuan tapped his fingers on the table, "According to your investigation, does Ji Changkong have the support of a great master?"
"This, I don't know much about my humble position. Your Excellency, you also know that in recent years, most of our Xuanyi Guard's spies have been 'sleeping' and have lost contact with our imperial capital.
The manpower I used to investigate King Wei was some of the cronies I had trained myself over the years, but after all, the manpower was limited and there was not much information that could be detected.
As for whether King Wei had contact with the Grand Master, it is difficult to find out. "
Song Xuan nodded, "In that case, I give you an order to wake up all the Xuanyi Guard spies in all parts of Great Zhou from now on!
I didn't care what happened in the past, but from now on, as long as it is in the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, every move of all forces will appear in the intelligence system of my Xuanyi Guard! "
