949 The duel between the genius and the wizard
Within a few days of the secret meeting between Yin Jiu Kill and Qiu Mianmian, Jingzhao Mansion officially convicted Ji Rong, and Ji Rong and more than 30 of his subordinates were put in prison and executed at a later date.
While Ji Heng was heartbroken about this, he also paid the Zhu family 500,000 taels of silver earned from selling his land, private house and antique calligraphy and paintings, and personally apologized to the Zhu family, hoping that the Zhu family would forgive the Ji family for the sake of the murderer, maintain a good relationship between the two clans, and work together for the emperor.
No matter how much the Zhu family hates the Ji family, they can only do enough superficial work at this time, accept Ji Heng's apology, echo Ji Heng's meaning, and say that it is Ji Rong who committed the crime, and the Zhu family will definitely not destroy the good relationship with Taifu.
In this way, the two families shook hands and made peace on the surface.
Although everything was expected, and even arranged it by himself, Ji Heng's heart still hurt.
This pain is not because of the loss of a younger brother, but because of the lack of a useful tool and the loss of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
This battle between the Ji family and the Zhu family can be said to have happened inexplicably, and it can be regarded as a lose-lose, although he has won a reputation for uprightness, but he is already famous enough, and he does not need the icing on the cake for this matter.
In other words, his loss is not really worth much.
After surviving a catastrophe, he was a little unwilling in his heart.
"Tuk tuk tuk," there was a knock at the door, and the butler's voice rang out, "Master, it's almost noon, and the little one has brought you medicinal food." ”
Older people are very taboo to stay up late, if they have to stay up late, they must eat something to replenish their body at a certain time.
Ji Heng sat down: "Come in." ”
The housekeeper came in with a bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup and red date cake and carefully placed it in front of him.
After Ji Heng ate half of it, he put down the soup spoon and said to the housekeeper: "You immediately find a group of people who are not afraid of death, and let them go to the wizard of the Zhu family to divinate ......."
How to deal with the Zhu family, he has been thinking about it for a long time.
Just tonight, he decided to start with the Zhu family's strongest and only "weapon" witchcraft, completely ruining the Zhu family.
Why do people like the Zhu family get the emperor's reuse? Quite simply, because they are good at all kinds of witchcraft.
The world says that their witchcraft is magical and frighteningly accurate, so what happens when their witchcraft is no longer accurate and magical?
They will come down from the altar and be completely beaten back to their prototypes!
At that time, the world will accuse them of being liars, and the emperor will no longer believe in their witchcraft, and once their witchcraft is denied by the emperor, they will no longer be worthless, and they will become the world's spurned and expelled existence.
Which, the Zhu family will be self-defeating.
Even if Concubine Zhu relies on the four princes and will not be helpless, she will completely fall out of favor, whether she or the four princes, she will not have room to turn over in this life.
Out of such a plan, he planned to let the housekeeper go to the people to find a group of people, and secretly instigated these people to go to the Zhu family's wizards for divination, no matter what these wizards calculated, the Ji family will find a way to make these divination inaccurate, it is best to kill some people, blame all the sins on the heads of these wizards, and then "reasonably" spread the rumor that the Zhu family's witchcraft is a deception.
In this way, for a long time, I don't believe that I wish my family will not die!
After he told the butler this and this, the butler couldn't help but nod.
After listening, the housekeeper said sincerely: "Master, your trick is really wonderful, it can really be described as bloodless, and killing people is invisible." ”
This kind of method is much safer, more efficient, more concealed, and more thorough than buying a murder directly, and it is worthy of being a master, and as soon as he makes a move, he doesn't know how many times better than the eldest lady and the young master Linfeng.
His heart was really full of worship for the lord again.
Ji Heng was also very satisfied with his move: "This matter must be done carefully." It is better to pick those stupid people who have difficulties, have worries and are easily impulsive, and it is better to face desperate situations and have no way out, and quietly induce them to spend more money to tell fortunes, and then secretly destroy the warnings and suggestions given to them by the sorcerer. If necessary, it doesn't hurt to spend more money and time, and the most important thing is that people must not be able to see the clues, let alone make people suspicious of the Ji family. ”
Although the Ji family paid 500,000 taels of silver to the Zhu family by selling their property, it seemed to be bleeding heavily, but that was just a superficial effort.
How much property does the Ji family have? This is a secret, but it is far beyond the imagination of the world, and the 500,000 silver is not enough for the Ji family's flesh.
It's just that if the Ji family wants to maintain the reputation of "honesty", they can't let the world think that the Ji family has property far beyond their own identity and status, so they have to pretend to be so "poor".
Therefore, the Ji family has the money to find someone to frame the Zhu family.
"Don't worry, master, the little one knows how to do it." The housekeeper patted his chest with confidence, "The little brain is not as good as yours, but how to do things so that it won't be bad, the little one knows it very well." ”
Ji Heng was satisfied with Shun Shun's beautiful hair: "You do things, I don't worry." ”
His butler was not good at scheming, but he was very good at carrying out orders.
Once an important order is received, this butler will carefully analyze and think about how to do it well, especially pay attention to details, and is a very useful subordinate.
The housekeeper received his compliment, and happily packed up the dishes and chopsticks and went out.
That night, the butler barely slept, and spent the whole night thinking about how to carry out the master's orders.
The next day, he immediately ordered a group of ordinary-looking, amiable, careful, and patient subordinates, convened a long secret meeting, and gave them so much to give them a fee for their labor, and let them go separately.
There is no need to follow the Zhu family, no need to kill people and set fires, just disguise themselves as all kinds of passers-by, hint and incite those poor people to go to the Zhu family's wizard to tell their fortunes, and then secretly sabotage this kind of thing?
The butler believed that there must be no problem with these people he picked.
Ji Heng has no problem looking at people, and there is no problem with housekeepers looking at people, but the reality is still quite different from what they think!
Because, that night, those people reported a very unexpected news to the butler: "There is no wizard of the Zhu family on the street, not half of them!" ”
The housekeeper was immediately stunned: "No? How could there not be? Have you all looked for it? ”
The subordinates said: "There are not hundreds of roads that we have run together, but there are dozens of them, and we really haven't seen a single wizard of the Zhu family." ”
"Have you all been to the places where my family often goes to set up stalls?"
"I've been to places like Xuanwu Street and Suzaku Street, we've looked back and forth more than a dozen times, but we really haven't seen it."
The housekeeper was speechless for a long time before he said, "Maybe the Zhu family has something to do today, and they won't come out to work, so you can find it tomorrow." ”
After speaking, he thought about it: "If you can't find it tomorrow, you will find it the day after tomorrow, it is impossible for them not to come out to set up a stall." ”
However, once again, he was wrong.
The Zhu family really never came out to set up a stall again, not only that, but the doors of the several houses where the Zhu family lived were closed and refused to entertain guests, even if they occasionally opened the door, they only took the daily necessities booked from various stores in advance, and never went out half a step.
In other words, the Zhu family completely hid back within the high walls, just like the previous Zhu family, isolated from the world.
