Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Secondly, if he reported this to the Emperor, wouldn’t he be telling the Emperor that not only did his family set up a private dungeon, but he had also captured Ji Yi, the secret guard who used to protect the Crown Prince, and locked him up in the dungeon?
He was not foolish enough to self-sabotage himself.
In the guest room, Ji Yi lay on the bed, covered in injuries. He had an eye, an ear, and a leg cut off. He was trembling in pain. Only the Ji family could be so cruel and insane.
Shao Boqi watched with bloodshot eyes. He wished he could tear the Ji family into pieces!
When he was rescued, Ji Yi was in so much pain that he couldn’t even speak. He could barely recognize Shao Boqi with his remaining eye. “S-sir…”
With just one shout, Ji Yi himself started crying. “Hurry, hurry to Xinyuan
With just one shout, Ji Yi himself started crying. “Hurry, hurry to Xinyuan County! Back then, I placed His Highness the Crown Prince at the doorstep of a great benefactor in Xinyuan County. That great benefactor’s surname is Wei! I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I… I couldn’t hold on… I said..”
When Shao Boqi heard where his nephew was, he immediately sent a few people, each riding a strong house, to Xinyuan County and informed his second and third brothers of this matter.
They changed horses at the Shao family’s contact point all the way and did not rest at all to try their best to catch up with the reinforcements.
“I’m useless…” Ji Yi was still crying. “I’m a sinner… A great sinner!”
At this point, Ji Yi closed his eyes and slammed his head against the bedpost.
He blamed himself too much and wanted to kill himself.
“Ji Yi!” Shao Boqi quickly hugged Ji Yi and stopped him from seeking death. Shao Boqi, this big man, also had red eyes. After a while, he said, “Keep your life. In the future, you will be the proof against the Ji family and make them pay with blood.” Shao Boqi gritted his teeth in hatred when he heard what Ji Yi said.
“Yes… It’s…” Ji Yi sobbed.
He wanted to help identify the Ji family. When the Ji family received their retribution, he would use his death to apologize.
Shao Zhongxi was on the route from the Imperial Capital to Lingshan Town. Wasn’t Lingshan Town in Xinyuan County? It wasn’t that quick to find Shao Zhongxi and report this matter to him.
When Shao Zhongxi heard about this, he knew that the Ji family had most likely sent people to Xinyuan County half a day before them. Naturally, he immediately abandoned the carriage and replaced it with his warhorse. He also rode to Xinyuan County.
Everyone in the Ji family knew where his nephew was, so there was no need to keep it a secret anymore. They were all racing against time to see who could find his nephew first.
Qiye and the others also hurriedly followed.
On the morning of the 19th of November, the Ji family arrived at Xinyuan County first. Once they arrived, they asked where the Wei family lived in the county.
In the end, the people who were asked all said, “You’re talking about that hypocrite, right? He is really good at pretending! We used to call him a great philanthropist! Five years ago, we found out that the rice he gave to the poor was damp and many of them were inedible. In fact, every time his family had rice that was damp and could not be used, he would take it out to help the poor. Usually, he’s like a miser, stingy! He doesn’t have any kindness in him!
“The poor are easy to bully. As long as they can eat, they feel that they have received a favor. They don’t say anything, but we haven’t received any favor from him. We just can’t stand it! Later, people threw rotten eggs at him when they saw him. Anyway, he couldn’t stay in town anymore, so he moved to Pingan Town. If you want to look for him, go to Pingan Town..”
