Following Ji Luochen's summons, Han Fei walked in quickly.
"Your Majesty, when Eunuch Cao was interrogating Yun Xiao, Yun Xiao said that he had a huge secret that he wanted to tell Your Majesty personally."
"The big secret?"
Ji Luochen frowned: "Does he have to see me before he can tell you?"
Han Fei nodded with a wry smile: "Return to Your Majesty, yes, Yun Xiao said that he can only tell if he sees Your Majesty."
Although he didn't know what kind of medicine Yun Xiao was selling in his gourd, Ji Luochen felt that Yun Xiao wouldn't be joking at this time.
"Well, that's fine. Then I'll go see him and see what the secret he said is."
Since Yun Xiao can be so solemn about his affairs, he thinks that the secret is not simple, and it may have a lot to do with him.
At this time, Yao Yue on the side said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, it is better for my concubine to accompany you. In this way, even if Yun Xiao wants to do harm to you, he will not be able to play any tricks with my concubine here."
Ji Luochen nodded: "Okay, then my beloved concubine will accompany me."
Hearing Ji Luochen call her my beloved concubine, Yao Yue couldn't help but blush.
But in an instant, he returned to being as cold as ice.
"Sister, you wait for me here, my husband and I will go for a walk."
Lian Xing nodded: "Okay, sister, be careful."
With her sister following Ji Luochen, Lianxing felt very relieved.
With my sister's strength, no one in the world can hurt them except for the powerful ones from the land of gods and immortals.
Ji Luochen then set off for Tianlao under the protection of a group of experts.
After Ji Luochen arrived at Tianlao, the people inside had already received the news. The moment they saw Ji Luochen, they all knelt on the ground and shouted long live.
Wherever Ji Luochen passed, no one dared to stand.
Even the prisoners in the cells he passed by did not dare to make any mistakes and were all trembling.
This new emperor was much more majestic than any other emperor in the Zhou Dynasty.
The tyrant's methods make people fear in their hearts.
When they arrived at the cell where Yun Xiao was imprisoned, Cao Zhengchun was already kneeling there respectfully.
"Slave Cao Zhengchun, I have met your Majesty. Long live my emperor. Long live the emperor."
Ji Luochen nodded slightly: "Is Yun Xiao inside?"
"Go back to Your Majesty, Yun Xiao is inside."
"Well, you guys wait for me outside, and I'll go in and see him."
"Your Majesty, let this old slave accompany you in. Although Yun Xiao is seriously injured now and may not pose a danger to Your Majesty, we still want to be just in case."
Cao Zhengchun said worriedly.
Ji Luochen shook his head: "No, just invite Yue to accompany me in."
Then the cell door opened, and Ji Luochen walked in with Yao Yue.
As soon as she entered the cell, Yao Yue's cold murderous intention was locked on Yun Xiao.
As long as Yun Xiao makes any move, I'm afraid Yao Yue will be dealt a devastating blow.
The first time he saw Ji Luochen, Yun Xiao quickly said weakly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I can't pay you my respects anymore."
After hearing Yun Xiao's words, Ji Luochen said calmly: "Don't talk nonsense. I heard that you want to see me. If you have anything to say, you can."
Yun Xiao smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, before telling this secret, can I ask your Majesty to give me a promise?"
Ji Luochen couldn't help but frown: "Are you still qualified to negotiate terms with me now?"
Yun Xiao laughed at himself: "The guilty minister is not qualified to negotiate terms with His Majesty now, but the secret that the guilty minister is going to tell you now can definitely exchange for a promise from His Majesty."
"Okay, tell me. If this secret is as important as you say, then I can make you a promise."
Ji Luochen said in a calm voice.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Since the guilty minister dares to say this, he will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty."
"I wonder if Your Majesty remembers the case of Li He, Minister of War, five years ago?"
Hearing Yun Xiao's words, Ji Luochen couldn't help but look at him.
"Of course I remember this case. This case shocked both the government and the public. It was also the only time during my father's reign that an imperial edict was issued to a court minister to exterminate the Nine Clans."
Yun Xiao nodded: "Your Majesty is right, this is the case."
"Back then, Li He relied on his position as Minister of War to resell large quantities of ordnance and countless military supplies. Later, the late emperor found out. In a rage, Li He's nine tribes were wiped out. This case caused a great sensation. Even among the people, there are many rumors."
"It's just that your Majesty doesn't know that in fact, in this case of Li He, he is not the real mastermind behind the case, but someone else, and that mastermind is more noble and more feared."
"I was also a witness to this case at the beginning. After the case was settled, I felt something was wrong with this case when I returned home."
"From the time when Li He's reselling of arms came to light to the conclusion of the case, everything went so smoothly. It even went so smoothly that it seemed as if someone had laid out all the evidence and was just waiting for the investigators to come and collect it."
"After I felt that something was not right about the case, I sent someone to investigate privately, but the results of the investigation made me stop everything immediately."
"Even everyone involved in the investigation, except for the confidant of the housekeeper, I secretly eliminated everyone."
"The identity of the person behind the scenes is really too terrifying. I was afraid that something would happen to the entire Yun family, so I kept this matter buried in my heart and prepared not to tell it for the rest of my life."
"It's just that now the Yun family is facing a disaster. If we want to save a little bit of incense, we can only use this matter to make a deal with His Majesty."
Hearing Yun Xiao's words, Ji Luochen couldn't help but look a little ugly.
If what Yun Xiao said was true and Li He was not the main instigator of the arms reselling case, then this matter would be extremely scary to think about.
At first, everyone thought that Li He was reselling arms to the enemy.
But now what Yun Xiao said, it seems that Li He's reselling of arms was not to enemy countries, but to insiders.
Moreover, Li He's case occurred five years ago. How many arms did Li He resell before five years ago?
Maybe six years, maybe seven years, maybe ten years.
And if all the ordnance resold in the past ten years were kept by the people behind the scenes, how many private forces would be cultivated?
call! ! !
Ji Luochen took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Tell me, who is the person behind your investigation department?"
Yun Xiao slowly said two words: "King Qi."
"It's actually him?"
Ji Luochen couldn't help but feel shocked.
This King of Qi is a biological brother of his father and mother.
When his father ascended the throne, he killed many brothers, but only this younger brother was left alive, and he was also given a fief.
However, King Qi was born with a loose personality and did not like the struggle for power. Even if he went to the fiefdom, he never participated in political affairs and stayed in romantic places all day long.
I heard that many of his concubines were singers.
Because of this, many people were very disdainful of the King of Qi, and he gradually faded out of everyone's sight.
But unexpectedly, the man behind Li He's case turned out to be the King of Qi.
"How do I know whether what you say is true or false? Is there any evidence?"
Although Ji Luochen believed 90% of it, he still asked Yun Xiao.
After all, he had seen too many stories of characters like King Qi eventually becoming the big boss on TV in his previous life.
But he still wanted a piece of evidence. As long as he had the evidence, he would have a legitimate excuse to kill the King of Qi.
Yun Xiao said slowly: "Your Majesty, after I investigated, all the evidence has been burned, because I am afraid that King Qi will find out, and my own life will not be saved."
"But with His Majesty's ability, it should be very easy to find evidence."
"Whether it is true or not, I believe His Majesty already knows it in his mind."
Ji Luochen nodded: "Well, if what you said is true, then I can promise you to leave a trace of the Yun family's blood to you."
After speaking, Ji Luochen turned and left directly.
