"Knock, knock, knock"

Hearing the knock on the door outside, Ji Hong frowned: "What's the matter?"

"Lord Steward, there are a few people outside, claiming to be from the Imperial Capital Mu family, and they have something important to ask to see the master. ”

Ji Hong looked at the old man Ji who was still at the window, and then said outside: "You go and tell them that the old man is asleep, and let them come back another day." ”

Old Man Ji suddenly turned around and said outside: "No, you take people to the living room, make tea, don't slack off." ”

"Yes. ”

"Master, what are you?" Ji Hong was a little puzzled, not to mention that the Ji family has always had nothing to do with the three families in the imperial capital, even this hour is not the right time to visit, and those who don't know think they are going to do something unseemly.

Old Man Ji sneered: "If you don't see it today, there will be rumors that the Mu family visited the Ji family late at night, it seems that the Mu family can't wait, so it's okay, let's stop these people's thoughts first." ”

"But, sir, it is very bad for us that this rumor spreads. Ji Hong was a little worried.

"It doesn't matter, my Ji family can't handle it with one or two rumors, and the more times like this, the more you have to stand firm and cut through the mess quickly. Let's go, let's go see what the Mu family wants to say. After speaking, Old Man Ji took off the clothes he was draped on, and then the master and servant walked towards the reception hall one after the other.

In the reception hall of the Ji family, there are now five people sitting in the guest seats, and several servants of the Ji family are filling these people with tea.

Suddenly, a young man at the head stood up and saluted the door: "I've seen Lord Pinglu." ”

Old Man Ji nodded and walked straight to the main seat, while Ji Hong took a servant's teapot and motioned for them all to go out.

After Old Man Ji took a sip of the tea that Ji Hong had just arrived, the young man spoke up again: "Grandpa Ji, this time I came to the Southern Regions to do some small things on my father's orders, and I happened to be passing by here, so I came to see you, I hope it didn't disturb you." ”

"Oh, it turns out that you are just passing by, in the middle of the night, the old man still thinks that someone is going to be bad for my old man. Old Man Ji took a breath and said with a smile.

The young man hurriedly stood up: "You are joking, the late-night visit is really because the travel is too rushed, please forgive me." ”

Old Man Ji waved his hand and said: "These are not important, the important thing is that I have guests, you must not disturb them, it doesn't matter to me, an old man, I don't sleep much." ”

"Don't worry, my father has also made a special statement about this, no matter what happens, he will not make you embarrassed. The young man said with a smile, gentle and elegant, but a rare good son.

"Then in that case, this tea has also been drunk, people have seen it, and there is no empty space in my Ji Mansion, so I won't give it to you, old man. After saying this, Old Man Ji said to Ji Hong next to him: "You go and send Young Master Mu." ”

Looking at the old man Ji who was about to get up, the young master of the Mu family hurriedly said: "Grandpa Ji, you must understand the intentions of my Mu family, this time my father asked me to bring a gift, please be sure to accept it." ”

Old Man Ji sneered, knowing that it would not be as simple as passing by to take a look.

A middle-aged man took out a small box from the burden behind him, stepped forward and prepared to hand it to Pinglu Gong, but when he was ten steps away from Old Man Ji, Ji Hong appeared in front of him, and this person was not angry, he handed the box directly to Ji Hong, and then returned to his position, as if these things had nothing to do with him.

Ji Hong was just about to turn around with his things, when he heard Old Man Ji say: "No need, you can bring things back, my Ji family doesn't lack anything." ”

Ji Hong knew what his master was thinking, so he walked directly to the young master of the Mu family, put down the box and went back, regardless of whether others accepted it or not.

Young Master Mu looked at the box, without the slightest anger, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Ji, this is a good thing, it's a pity that you don't want it, and even if you don't want it, maybe someone in your family needs it?"

Old Man Ji smiled: "I said no, I don't need it, no one in the Ji family disagrees." ”

"Grandpa Ji, I heard that Xiaoyu is back, I don't know if I can see each other?"

This time, without waiting for Old Master Ji to speak, Ji Hong stepped forward and said, "My young master abides by the family rules on weekdays, and he has fallen asleep at this time, but he is not the same as Young Master Mu." ”

The person sitting next to the young master of the Mu family, as soon as he put his hands on the handle of the chair, he was about to stand up and speak, and the master of the Ji family didn't care, when it was the turn of a subordinate to sneer at his young master, it was unbearable.

As soon as the man stood up, before he could speak, he heard a sound of the machine running, and then he saw countless small holes on the top of the entire hall on the ground and wall, and there were faintly several figures that were much taller than normal people outside.

A cold chill enveloped everyone in the Mu family, don't look at the fact that none of them have a cultivation level lower than the middle stage of the master realm, but they have no doubt at the moment that as long as they do it, they will go to Huangquan together in an instant for a one-way trip.

"What, do you want to do it?" Old Man Ji's calm words came.

Young Master Mu hurriedly stood up, blocked in front of the person who was frozen in place, and said to Old Master Ji: "Misunderstanding, definitely misunderstanding, the Mu family's kindness to you believes that you understand, how can you want to do it, it should be sitting for a long time, think about it and relax." ”

That person was not a stupid person, and sat back at the signal of the young master of the Mu family, but his face was still expressionless.

The young master of the Mu family saw that the people on the main seat didn't say anything, and then said: "Since Xiao Yu has already slept, forget it, it's just that this time the juniors got a message on the way back, saying that there was a Liu family who seemed to have been wiped out, and some people who didn't open their eyes said that it was Xiao Yu's so-called, and the juniors felt that with Xiao Yu's age and temperament, they would never do this, but this crowd was full of gold and ruined bones, so they wanted him to come out and prove his innocence, so that the juniors could clean up these unbridled villains." ”

Old Man Ji laughed hehehe: "Then I want to thank you, as for this rumor, my Ji family will deal with it, and I don't need help from others." ”

"Of course, the juniors just want to do their part for you and the Ji family, as for this matter, let's not say that I believe in Xiaoyu's personality, even if it is true, the juniors believe that it will definitely not have any impact on the Ji family. Young Master Mu also laughed along with Old Man Ji's laughter, and the old and the young laughed very happily.

Ji Hong hated the laughing little beast in front of him in his heart, and believed in Ji Yu's character, the more he believed, the more he felt that he did it, even if the Ji family's forces didn't make a move, there were a lot of people who helped Ji Yu in order to please the Ji family, this time I am afraid that the Mu family pushed it, otherwise with Ji Yu's timid character, he would not be able to do such a big rebellious thing, but unfortunately it is impossible to find the handle of the Mu family.

"The affairs of the Ji family don't bother others to worry about. Old Man Ji said lightly.

"Of course, but this rumor should be dealt with sooner, otherwise it will be some trouble. Moreover, it is also not good for Xiaoyu, the younger generation heard that the national teacher has been secretly investigating many officials and families recently, I don't know if you have heard of it. "Young Master Mu saw that the one on the main seat didn't seem to have any intention of relenting, so he already knew that he would return in vain today, but the harvest of this trip was not small, with Ji Yu's handle, even if the Dongxuan Ji family couldn't get benefits here, the imperial capital Ji family could also maneuver around.

"Nope. Send off!" Old Man Ji snorted coldly and said to Ji Hong.

Seeing this, the young master of the Mu family also got up and saluted Old Man Ji, and said, "Since this is the case, the junior will not disturb Duke Pinglu, so I will leave." ”

Several members of the Mu family followed their young master, and left the Ji family's old mansion under Ji Hong's gaze.

When Ji Hong returned to the hall, Old Man Ji was still drinking tea alone on the main seat.

"Master, don't drink it, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep if I drink it again, this is not a soothing tea. Ji Hong stepped forward and directly snatched the tea from Old Man Ji's hand.

"All gone?" asked Old Man Ji.

"Yes. ”

"Let them follow them, don't let them cause any trouble here, it's not like usual here. Old Man Ji said with some concern, the three families in the imperial capital, what he is most worried about is not the strongest Huang family, but the Mu family, which has always been inconspicuous, and he is really not sure what these people will do.

Ji Hong poured himself a cup of tea, and then said, "Don't worry, it's already arranged." Then he seemed to be a little worried, and frowned: "Master, Young Master Sun's matter, do you want to deal with it?"

Master Ji shook his head: "No need, don't be in a hurry, the Mu family must have enough handles, otherwise they won't have a showdown with me." In the early years, when that little bastard destroyed the Liu family, I should have killed him, but I didn't expect this time to be more ruthless and blatant. ”

Seeing that Old Man Ji, who was just an ordinary person, grasped the chair slightly, Ji Hong's brows furrowed even deeper, he had followed Old Man Ji for many years, and he knew that if Old Man Ji at this time was stimulated by anything, he was afraid that he would directly kill the little young master with a sword, and the Mu family wanted to use Ji Yu to threaten the little young master, I am afraid that it was a miscalculation.

"You go and prepare, I'm going to write a letter to the national teacher. Old Man Ji suddenly said to Ji Hong.

"Yes. Ji Hong turned around and walked towards the study, suddenly seemed to remember something, walked back again, and filled Old Man Ji's cup with tea: "Master, you better drink a little more." ”

Old Man Ji didn't say anything, and silently picked up the cup.

Outside Dongxuan City, looking at the dozen or so figures not far away, Mu Lei smiled: "Let's go, the task has been completed." ”

"Young master, this old guy doesn't seem to care about his grandson's life or death. The middle-aged man who handed the things earlier said.

"I don't care, and based on my father's inference, Ji Yu should have been slashed by this old thing, and now it seems that blood is thicker than water. Mu Lei said with a smile.

"Then why do we do this kind of thing? And since then, we have also offended the Ji family, and Ji Yu must not be able to hide that from the Ji family. The man seemed to be a little confused.

Mu Lei took out the small box in the baggage behind the man, and said as he opened it: "If the Ji family can really be bought or threatened, then the Ji family will not be able to live now." We are just giving a signal, my Mu family doesn't care about offending the Ji family anymore, just want the Ji family to reconsider their own path, maybe there will be unexpected gains, maybe it won't be, if it doesn't work, just erase it. ”

There was a soft "click", and everyone saw that the box in Mu Lei's hand was empty.

The man who spoke earlier suddenly had a numb scalp.

What father confesses, what gifts, these are all Mu Lei's own words, all things are arranged by this young man who is less than sixteen years old, and the head of the Mu family and the old man of the Mu family will never ask about Mu Lei's affairs, not that he doesn't care but is too relieved.

Mu Lei began to accept many unsightly things about the Mu family since he was twelve years old, and the city government and ruthlessness he showed were by no means comparable to those of his age, especially the speculation of people's hearts made those who followed them feel deep fear.

He believed that at the beginning, Mu Lei expected that Old Man Ji would not even open the box, and even if he opened it, Old Man Ji should have silently covered the box afterwards and would not make a noise, because opening the box meant that the Ji family was thinking about the friendship of the Mu family, and he would definitely not tear his face because of this trivial matter.

After throwing away the empty box in his hand, Mu Lei said: "Let's go, there's nothing for us here, as for those people, let's let the others come, we don't have to worry about it." And if you dispose of it so early, it may affect other arrangements. ”

The group left the town at dawn.

In the Imperial Capital of the Blood Dome, a pure place, the inconspicuous door is written on both sides of the door, "Hold the wind and bones to correct the body, listen to the elegance and law to seek clarity", and the book "Non-virtuous Thatched Cottage".

At this moment, in the grass hall, the national teacher Xun Ziyan was looking at some documents, his brows were locked, and the content on that document was Ji Yu of the Ji family, judging from the new and old papers of the documents, it was not a record of the current things, there should be some things from a long time ago.

Xun Ziyan frowned not only because this document involved the Ji family, but also because these documents were too easy to come and the records were too detailed, and the spearhead was directed at Ji Yu, and the evidence was ironclad.

In the end, the national teacher put all the documents in a bag, picked up a pen and wrote a big "seal" on it, which means that these documents will become the highest secret of the Blood Dome, unless the Blood Dome Emperor or Xun Ziyan personally enlighten it, others have absolutely no permission.
