County Sheriff's Office.

backyard.

The county guard, Si Kongxiang, was leaning on the bed, and there was a strong smell of medicine in the room.

"Master Sikong, have you not seen Wei Dingguo?"

Luo Xingchen frowned.

He captured Wei Dingguo alive, but the county governor, Si Kongxiang, changed his mind and never saw Wei Dingguo again.

"It's gone..."

"It's because I'm too persistent. Think about it carefully, why do you need to ask? Betrayal is not a momentary thing, but it started long ago."

"At the end of the day, it's because I didn't notice it, and I went astray."

Sikong Xiang coughed twice, with melancholy in his eyes.

"If a person betrays the benefactor, if the benefactor treats him not harshly, then it is his own problem, not yours." Luo Xingchen thought for a while and said.

"In the past, Wei Dingguo was not like this. He grew up in a poor family. After a plague, all his family members died, and he was the only one left. Later, when he joined the army, I promoted him and even gave him a name. He is very frugal and self-disciplined, who would have expected that he would degenerate so quickly." Si Kongxiang said with emotion.

"Lord Sikong, since you are so high above you, naturally you can't see clearly the thoughts of the people below. It's not just Wei Dingguo, how can the other generals be any better? There are not many people who are different from each other."

"Now that Wei Dingguo has been arrested, who can succeed him? In my opinion, this is a troublesome matter." Luo Xingchen frowned.

"Don't bother, garrison, Songlai will take over that day and let him take control of the garrison in Zhongjing." Si Kongxiang coughed, his lungs were damaged during the assassination, and before he recovered, he coughed from time to time .

"That's fine. In addition, Sir Sikong, the Zhongjing Fire Worship Cult can be used as a help." Luo Xingchen said.

"In this matter, the Fire Worship Cult Vermilion Bird envoy Master Chu, Zhu Mo has already sent someone to contact me." Si Kongxiang said.

"That's good. After a while, I will be leaving. At that time, my grandmother may go north and come to Zhongjing." Luo Xingchen nodded.

"Your Highness can come to Zhongjing as soon as possible, so please come earlier. Zhongjing is closer to Shangjing. Once there is a change in Shangjing, I can go there immediately." Sikongxiang said.

The reason why they met alone was because Si Kongxiang knew Luo Xingchen's true identity early on. He was the grandson of the eldest princess Tuobaxian, and also had Tuoba's royal blood.

If Tuobaxian can successfully seize the throne, Daliao might be handed over to the young man in front of him in the future.

As for Tuoba Xian having a mature, stable and intelligent grandson, Si Kongxiang is happy to see the success. Only with an heir can there be a future. This is also an important bargaining chip for him to gradually make up his mind to get the entire Sikong family to support the eldest princess.

Today's emperor Tuobakang is a tyrannical ruler with constant suspicion and moodiness. His three sons are even more stupid than the other.

After some contact with Si Kongxiang, many ministers in the DPRK had secretly expressed their commitment.

Of course, they will not support it on the surface.

For the sake of their wealth and lives, they were very cunning. They waited for the opportunity to see who would be the final winner, Tuoba Kang in the open, or Tuoba Xian in the dark.

Support whoever wins, this is the wisdom of most courtiers.

"I will pass on your opinion." Luo Xingchen nodded.

"Master Sikong, there is one more matter, which was just found out."

Luo Xingchen paused for a moment, and then continued: "The informants of the Fire Worship Cult found out that the person who paid to hire the killer this time is Gongsun Shengjie from the Gongsun family."

"How could it be him? The head of the Gongsun family, Sun Zhi, is so old and cunning, it is impossible to let his son do such a stupid thing." Si Kongxiang said in astonishment.

"That's hard to say, what is the truth, we can only find out by confronting Gongsun Shengjie." Luo Xingchen said.

"Young master, you can do it, the order of the county guard, I leave it to you."

Si Kongxiang took out a token from under the pillow.

This token was cast by the imperial court, and only this one piece represents Sikong Xiang's status as the prefect of Zhongjing.

Holding the token, it is as if Si Kongxiang came forward in person, and he can use it to call all the government resources in Zhongjing.

"Okay, leave it to me, I'll go meet the Gongsun family." Luo Xingchen said.

"My lord, are you planning to come forward in person?" Si Kongxiang was stunned for a moment. He took out the token, thinking that Luo Xingchen was acting in secret, but from Luo Xingchen's tone, it seemed that he wanted to come forward directly.

"Yes, we can't procrastinate indefinitely. The Gongsun family must find a way to solve it."

"The Gongsun family supports the false emperor Tuobakang, and being able to get rid of the Gongsun family means cutting off one of Tuobakang's hands, which is very useful."

What Luo Xingchen thought was to cut through the mess quickly, as long as the Gongsun family was settled, basically there would be no big forces in Zhongjing to contend with.

With Zhongjing and the soon-to-be-obtained Xiajing, it is not far from controlling Shangjing and regaining the throne.

"Bring more people, Gongsun's family, it's not as simple as it appears on the surface, there are many private soldiers in his family."

Si Kongxiang thought for a while, and finally agreed.

Now that Luo Xingchen has made a decision, he must be prepared, he just needs to be responsible for cooperating.

……

Gongsun Shengxie ran all the way, and when he came to Gongsunzhi, he was out of breath.

"What happened?"

Gongsun Zhi knew his eldest son, and his son wouldn't be so anxious if he didn't encounter a major event.

"Father, it's bad. Shengjie has committed a serious crime." Gongsun Shengxie finally spoke out.

"What's the big deal? Take it easy, the sky won't fall." Gongsun Zhi raised his eyebrows.

"Shengjie found an assassin to assassinate Si Kongxiang, the governor of the county." Gongsun Shengxie said in a breath.

"He did it? How is that possible?"

Gongsun Zhi knew the news of the assassination of the county governor Si Kongxiang a long time ago. With his status, he could still know about such a major event in advance.

But he never thought that this major assassination case had something to do with his family.

"No, Shengjie has already been grounded by his father, how can he hire a murderer? Besides, where can Shengjie find the murderer who assassinated the county guard?" Gongsun asked.

"I don't know, but Shengjie has already admitted that he did it. If you ask other questions, he won't say anything." Gongsun Shengxie said.

"Don't say it? This naughty son is going to piss off the old man. You bring someone, bring him here quickly."

The calmness on Gongsun Zhi's face was finally broken.

He gritted his teeth and said harshly.

"Father, I have asked someone to bring him here, almost, almost here."

Gongsun Shengxie said.

Not long after, two guards, one on the left and the other on the right, sandwiched Gongsun Shengjie to prevent him from leaving midway, and came to Gongsun Zhi together.

"Meet my father." Gongsun Shengjie saluted, his face expressionless.

"Kneel down, Nizi!" Gongsun Zhi shouted angrily, his eyes seemed to burst into flames.
