Chapter 14: The Wang Family

This chapter unconsciously wrote more than 5,000 words, and a few more lines were enough to make up the number of words in the original three chapters.

This is a long dividing line that has to be written in Qixiao's story

——————————————————————

In the Tianshan Sacred Palace, everyone saw that Yuan Ji actually slowly put down the royal battle held high, and at the same time, Xintong also withdrew the beautiful long hair that was originally wrapped around Yuan Ji's wrist.

Although Gong Yushi Deng Liao didn't know what kind of exchanges the two peerless beauties in front of him had just done, it could be judged from Yuan Ji's fading angry face that she should not plan to deal with Qi Xiao on the spot.

So Deng Liao smiled gently, took a step forward, bowed slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, I am here this time to discuss with Tianshan how to capture the king of Xuanyuan, Demon Ziyan, this matter is not only about the treasure of my immortal realm, but also about the right protector of Er Tianshan. ”

Yuan Ji withdrew her gaze from Xintong and waved her hand, signaling her to stand down.

Xin Tong bowed and saluted, and then steadily retreated to Wei Xi's side.

"Lord Yushi, my two right protectors of the Tianshan Mountains are standing properly in front of you, what does it have to do with that Demon Ziyan?" he said and pointed to Wei Xi and Jing Wei behind him.

Deng Liao just wanted to say something, but Yuan Ji continued: "As for the previous Ye Thorn, even if she let go of the Demon Ziyan, she would have already lost your long-cherished Immortal Altar, how about this seat?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know, that leaf thorn has been reborn!" Deng Liao said.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and Wei Xi and Jing Wei next to the throne opened their eyes in disbelief.

Deng Liao continued: "According to what I can see, Ye Thorn and Demon Ziyan must have taken the world-shattering fruit of Xuanyuan, and the two of them are in love, so they are destined to tie the knot, live and die together, this is why the Demon Ziyan who has been killed by the marshal in front of the Seven Lives Gate can be resurrected on my Shuxian Altar six days later, because Ye Thorn relied on the protection of Lingshengyu at that time and picked up a life from the marshal, and six days later, she is breaking into the ground ghost with Lingshengyu to find the ghost king to ask for someone!"

In fact, Yuanji had already heard about Ye Thorn's previous affairs.

Ye Thorn is a rare young talent in the Tianshan Mountains, with a prosperous reputation throughout the country, great military achievements, and loyalty.

Because of this, Su Yu chose her to go to Xuanyuan to steal Lingsheng Jade and complete Yuanji's resurrection plan.

Su Yu told Yuan Ji that if there was no leaf thorn, there would be no two-party artifact that would see the light of day, and there would be no day of rebirth, from this point of view, leaf thorn was undoubtedly the first class, but her mistake was to trespass into the underworld, and she also let go of the demon Ziyan with the artifact sealed in her body.

Whether it is black or white, good or bad, Yuan Ji actually sees it very clearly: Ye Thorn, who has protected the country for thousands of years, is a loyal minister, even though she violates the precepts of the earth ghosts and offends the immortals, but she has not harmed any interests of the Tianshan Mountains. Therefore, Yuan Ji said disapprovingly: "What does Lord Yushi mean by saying this? Ye Thorn is no longer my Tianshan Protector, and she and Mo Ziyan have nothing to do with my Tianshan Mountain. ”

Deng Liao understood, even if he pointed out that Ye Thorn was the culprit who let go of the evil spirits, and emphasized that he was still the right protector of Tianshan when he attacked the Immortal Altar, Tianshan must bear responsibility for the theft of the Immortal Immortal National Treasure, and it is useless to explain it, not only is it useless, but it can also make the situation worse, because what Yuan Ji said above has completely wiped out the relationship between this key woman and Tianshan.

At this time, the enemy is strong and I am weak, Deng Liao thought about the Qilin King in her hand who had dominated the world, but she would not reason with herself, just a Mo Yan, she almost let Marshal Qixiao die in Huangquan, if she continued to hold on to her other courtiers at this time, the consequences would be unimaginable.

So Deng Liao said with a smile: "Yes, yes, the life and death of that Ye Thorn is not the key, but Your Majesty, we must not take lightly towards the Demon Ziyan, the son of Qingfan Xiuyue." Since he was a child, his body has been sealed with Ji Lu and Lingsheng Jade, and now I am afraid that there is another Shi Chen sword, and the three ancient artifacts are all used by one person, and the future troubles are endless!

Hearing this, Yuan Ji's eyes sharpened, approached Deng Liao, stopped beside him, and asked sideways with interest: "When did you immortals unknowingly obtain what Shi Chen Sword from the Heavenly Gods, and what is the purpose of Xiangyi? Aren't you looking for revenge on my Yuan Ji?"

Deng Liao's face changed, and he replied in a panic: "No, no, this sword suddenly appeared in the Queen Mother's bedroom not long ago, and it was definitely not my immortal who took the initiative to ask for it." ”

Yuan Ji straightened back and snorted softly, "Do you mean the peaceful dormitory? Why did you just appear in her dormitory? Why didn't you appear in the dormitory of this seat?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know, that Shi Chen's sword and Ji Lu are one, and Ji Lu is a crystal connected to the hilt of Shi Chen's sword, and the two are mutually beneficial!" Deng Liao bowed his body.

Yuan Ji raised her head and smiled, "It's really interesting, Lord Yushi means that ten thousand years ago, when the gods were careless when they distributed artifacts to all walks of life, they gave you an ornament and left the most important sword at home, and I just remembered that I sent it to you again not long ago?"

"This ......" Deng Liao just wanted to refute, but he was short of words for a while, after all, what Yuan Ji just said was not absolutely impossible, how can this be denied? Moreover, the appearance of Shi Chenjian has always been an unsolved mystery, although Deng Liao was suspicious, he had no way to question the Queen Mother.

Unexpectedly, Qi Xiao, who had been silent on the side at this time, suddenly opened his mouth, and his tone was categorical: "Yes." ”

Jing Wei was slightly stunned when he heard this, Qi Xiao This old man is really not afraid of heaven and earth, and openly affirmed the queen's statement, pointing out that it was the confusion made by the god ten thousand years ago, and he missed it when he divided the treasure, it is estimated that he will be the one who scolds the god so unscrupulously in the whole world, and I don't know if the god can hear it at this moment, if he can, he will definitely not be spared, if the god suddenly appears now, a thunder will chop this old man to death, but it will save him from doing it himself, Jing Wei thought so.

Yuan Ji glanced at Qi Xiao coldly, "The marshal is really a roundworm in the stomach of the gods." ”

"This may explain why the power of my Immortal Spirit is not as powerful as the Qilin King in your hand. Qi Xiao's face was serious, and at this time he turned around, and his eyes went straight to Yuan Ji.

These words were like the tip of an ice and snow knife, piercing Yuanji's heart. Qi Xiao's words are undoubtedly provoking the great battle between Yuan Ji and Xiang Shi two thousand years ago, and the reason why Yuan Ji won was because the Qilin King in her hand was stronger than Ji Lu, not her own spiritual cultivation.

Yuan Ji was about to get angry, but she heard Deng Liao explain: "Your Majesty, the minister forgot to say that there was a twelve-character note that appeared with the Shi Chen Sword at that time, and this note can be clearly written: Shi Chen Sword, Ke Fujing, Ji Ling Beast, Dead Xuan Yuan. Presumably, it was the decree of the gods that let us get rid of the meaning of the Demon Ziyan. ”

"Alright, Mishi-sama. Yuan Ji interrupted Deng Liao's words impatiently, turned around and slowly walked back to the throne, and said contemptuously: "All in all, you just want my Tianshan Mountain to send troops to kill Demon Ziyan and let your national treasure return to its place, right?"

With that, Yuanji had already walked to the throne, turned around, and sat down gracefully.

Deng Liao said with a smile: "If the two countries of Immortal Ming and Tianshan join forces, they will definitely be able to take down that Demon Ziyan." ”

"Hehe, join forces? Do you mean that the two countries will send troops together?" Yuan Ji's tone regained a little leisurely and ethereal.

"Exactly. Deng Liao said.

"But Yushi, you immortals, do you still have soldiers?" Yuan Ji's eyes lit slightly.

"Thirty thousand soldiers. Qi Xiao said solemnly.

Yuan Ji laughed, "Thirty thousand...... Marshal, are you joking with this seat? You are really cruel, I heard that the original million male army was wiped out in front of the little prince in an instant, and now you feel that you have not died enough, not completely enough, and you want to send the souls of the remaining remnants of the army together, right?"

When Qi Xiao heard this, the face covered with fine lines was still the same as frozen, and there was no expression at all.

Deng Liao took a step forward and said, "It's not what Your Majesty thinks, we just hope ......"

"I just hope that even if you destroy the country, you will also want all the soldiers of my Tianshan Mountain to be buried with you!, right!" Yuan Ji suddenly increased her voice, and her tone was like a sword.

Qi Xiao took a step forward slightly, and his expression was steady: "Is the queen in trouble?"

"You asked this question well, then ask yourself first, when you killed the ninety-eight members of your own Wang family with your own hands and sat on the head of the immortal underworld, was there any difficulty?"

As soon as Yuan Ji's words came out, everyone in the Holy Palace was shocked, and the only ones who could still remain calm and calm were Wei Xi and Xintong.

Because Wei Xi is too old, he has heard of Qixiao's past, and Xintong knows all the memories of Mo Yan.

The name Qixiao, Ye Thorn originally felt peculiar, and there was a reason, because the word "Qi" naturally did not look like a surname.

Yes, Qixiao's original surname was Wang, his full name was Wang Qixiao, a native of Wenqiao, Chang'an Prefecture, Wenqiao has a long history, the spirit of the earth is beautiful, the Wuhua Tianbao is abundant, and the famous Daoxian Pavilion is located on Qingyang Mountain in Wenqiao.

Because Wenqiao is a hub of three rivers, commerce and trade are prosperous, and wealthy merchants gather, among which the most prosperous family is the Wang family where Qixiao is located.

The Wang family has a huge family business, with dozens of workshops of silk, porcelain, jewelry, gold and silver ornaments, and more than eighty percent of the cargo ships shipped at Wenqiao Port every day are Wang's products; not only that, the Wang family also operates many large and small restaurants, pawnshops, casinos, kilns, etc., which can be described as making money every day, and the waist is full of money.

As the eldest son of the sixth generation of the family, Qixiao is clothed and fed, and whenever someone asks him his name on the street, he proudly says: "My surname is Wang, and my name is Wang Qixiao." ”

But the porcelain jewelry and pawnshop kilns mentioned above are by no means the most profitable business of the Wang family.

The young Qixiao also thought that his family had made a fortune because of his business. After all, in Chang'an, even if it is a casino and a green house, it is not illegal.

All the admiration, trust, and pride that this young man had for the Wang family began to be lost when he was sixteen years old, and until the end, it was gone.

When Qi Xiao was sixteen years old, his father asked him to learn to handle the easiest and most profitable business in the family, Guanlidai.

In Chang'an, there is a rule that everyone knows, if you can't pass the exam, you need to buy it.

The children of the family naturally have the money to buy it, but many of the children of the non-family family have no choice but to ask the Wang family for a loan because of the poverty of their families and the failure of the ten-year cold window.

Because the risk of this business is extremely high, the interest demanded by the Wang family is naturally not low, and it is difficult for the officials who buy the official positions to pay off the principal with interest through normal income, so they have to show their conscience, embezzle and accept bribes, loot the common people in disguise, earn huge profits, and pay off the interest.

Among them, many officials who have tasted the sweetness of power are getting bigger and bigger, so they borrow more money from Wang, buy bigger officials, embezzle more ill-gotten gains, and obtain higher power.

The so-called borrowing and repaying, and borrowing again is not difficult, this is the Wang family has been operating for several generations.

Because the Wang family has no shortage of business wizards, so that to Qixiao's grandfather's generation, this shady underground business has been done vigorously, and finally formed a complete chain, from the local magistrate to the imperial court is the second grade officials, have been their guests, many are still frequent customers, regular customers, and then guest solicitors, you buy to introduce your nephew to buy, which undoubtedly makes the Wang family earn a lot of money, and at the same time, many people in power among the civil and military officials have also been dragged by the Wang family to buy officials.

Therefore, in Wenqiao and even in the whole of Chang'an, whether it is officialdom or shopping malls, the Wang family can be said to be rich and rival the country, like a fish in water, covering the sky with one hand, and the family power is strong enough to make the local people not be able to casually surname Wang.

But if you simply think that the Wang family's family business is so huge that it is only limited to the above ways to make money, then it is too much to underestimate this first family.

Qi Xiao, who was often taken to banquets by his father and knew many dignitaries, was only sixteen years old, and at first he couldn't fully understand what dirty facts were hidden behind the money he lent them and often came to repay the money.

Those things that exploit the people, enforce the law unfairly, and officials are in collusion with each other will naturally not let Qi Xiao see it clearly, after all, it will take a process from them borrowing money to buy officials to really oppressing the people.

But when Qi Xiao was eighteen years old, what his father took him to do made Qi Xiao, who was still a teenager and had a clean heart, completely chill his heart.

That year, Qi Xiao remembered that his father took him to an underground wine cellar in the mountain behind the family, which was nominally a wine cellar, and when Qi Xiao went down to see it, there were two floors.

The first bottom layer was wine, and the second layer of the secret door opened, which made Qi Xiao dumbfounded, because what he saw was not a wine jar, but arms.

So how much munitions are there?

Qi Xiao remembered that on the second day, there were more than 200 carriages sent by his father, and they were all freight carriages with four horses and eight wheels.

Qi Xiao asked his father where the carriage was going, and his father replied that it was to pull the royal iron horse to Tanglin City. Everyone knows that the Royal Iron Cavalry is the orthodox army of Chang'an Prefecture, responsible for the border security south of Chang'an.

"Daddy, is there a war on the border? Is there a foreign invasion?" Qi Xiao asked, his eyes a little anxious.

"Oh, hehe, son, there are foreigners, but it's not a war, you know that the southern country is very poor, right?"

Qi Xiao nodded.

Qi Xiao's father smiled and continued: "Son! Since ancient times, the poor mountains and bad waters have come out of the Diao people! Those Diao people are hungry, but their eyes are green with hunger, and they are willing to do anything if they give a little favor! Father, give them some silver regularly, let them loot the surrounding villages, grab a little today and grab a little tomorrow, and hide back in the mountains after the robbery, at this time the local people will frequently report the crime, and the Yaxian County will not have enough manpower, and they will not be able to catch it, so they will ask their superiors to use the army. ”

Qi Xiao was shocked when he heard this, "So Daddy, all this gunpowder is sold to the Royal Iron Horse?"

"Haha, that's exactly right! If you want to say that those people will hide back in the mountains after robbing, there is no way to find it, how can the orthodox army of the Royal Iron Cavalry have the leisure time to spend with bandits like them, then the most labor-saving way is to blow up the mountain directly!"

After listening to this, Qi Xiao stood completely in place, as if his body was no longer his own.

I only heard his father continue proudly, "This is our family's most confidential business, son, the price of these arms can make us ten times more profitable, far easier than the business of restaurants and silk." The army is never short of money, and they don't bargain, their business is the best. Let's not be greedy, just do it once or twice a year, it's enough to eat for ten years. You said that if you don't fight for a long time, and the world is peaceful and prosperous, then these arms of our family will not be rotten and wasted in vain. ”

"Dad, have you thought about those bombed refugees?" Qi Xiao said coldly.

"Hey!haha! How can Dad be that kind of person, Dad is a good person, Daddy's principle is that doing business will never take people's lives. Qi Xiao's father hugged Qi Xiao and said in a low voice: "Those Diao people, they ran away after grabbing them, and they hid in the mountains at first, but as soon as the regular army arrived, they had already received a notice from their father that they would withdraw far away, and that mountain was an empty mountain, and they couldn't kill anyone." ”

"What about the people who were robbed? What about them?"

"Those people are even more of a problem, the Diao people hired by my father do not rob everything, they specialize in robbing valuable but not easy to sell gold and silver jewelry, and the looted things will be sent to a meeting point and shipped to us; how many people who are robbed every year have a detailed account of the officials, don't we have pawnshops in various places? As long as this can be worth the accounts, my father will say that someone else came to the pawnshop to do good deeds, accumulate good virtues, intermittently for a few years, and send it back to the county yamen for a few years. ”

Qi Xiao's eyes widened when he heard this: "So Daddy, have you been doing this for so many years?"

Every time Daddy goes there, the people of the whole city come out of the nest and greet each other with tears! Son, when you have time, Daddy will take you to that place to see what it means to visit the gods, and all the people will be happy!

may be the last sentence of "fame and fortune", which made Qixiao completely break with the family and resolutely worship the Daoxian Pavilion.

Xianming's former military advisor Li Deyi, Li Yuan's father, the grandmaster of Tian'en Gate, and also the master who cultivated Qixiao single-handedly, previously said to him: "Those who are invincible in a hundred battles will have no weaknesses, and their loved ones are the fetters of the future. ”

When Qi Xiao heard this, he remembered the days when he accompanied his father, the oily officials, the shocking gunpowder, the poor and miserable people, the scrawny refugees, and his father's sentence of "fame and fortune", so he knelt down on one knee in front of Li Deyi and said sonorously: "No!"
