Chi Rui looked at his younger brother's dejected appearance, and felt very uncomfortable, if he had known the truth earlier, he would never have stood idly by.

Originally, he thought that this younger brother was in the same camp as his father and Chi Hong, at least he would not be cheated by those two people, but he didn't expect that those two people were really unscrupulous in order to achieve their own goals, and the sentence that Xiao Bo said was really appropriate, and one was deceived into getting on the thief ship without paying attention.

However, foreign thieves can be guarded against, but house thieves can't be prevented, especially if this house thief is still a close relative, it is even more difficult to prevent.

Thinking of this, Chi Rui sighed heavily and looked at his younger brother with a very guilty gaze.

"I ......" he felt that since he was being honest with each other, the first thing he had to do was to apologize and apologize for his neglect of his brother for so many years. Big brother wants to say sorry to you, it's not good to be a big brother, it's that big brother can't stand you. If the truth had been discovered earlier, if there had not been much prejudice in my heart, maybe things would not have been like this. ”

"Big brother, I can understand you, if I were you, I wouldn't dare to say that I wouldn't be in the trap." Chi Er Gongzi sighed, "Since childhood, our two brothers have been different, and we have treated our father differently. Since I can remember, I have known that there is a gap between my father and my eldest brother, and my eldest brother is not as unbearable as my father said outside, and my father is not as ...... as he imagined" He raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Loving and indifferent." When we were young, I was an obedient child, growing up step by step according to his requirements and according to his ideas. He told me more than once that your eldest brother is useless, and the Chi family will still hand it over to you in the future. ”

"That's what he said?"

"Hmm!" Second Master Chi nodded, "Big brother should have heard it a few times, right?" Don't deny it, I saw you hiding in the corner, and I know that you were suspicious of me from that time and didn't like to have contact with me. Actually, big brother, you don't know, I have other thoughts, I don't plan to hand over my whole life to my father, and I don't plan to follow the path he paved for me. ”

"I know you're interested in doing business and you've been waiting for an opportunity, but what really makes me suspicious of you is that my father and Chi Hong want you to come forward and buy some property for your family."

"Do you think this is the opportunity I was waiting for, someone else gave me some sweet dates, and I ran away with someone?" Seeing Chi Rui nodded, Chi Er Gongzi smiled, "Big brother, I'm not that stupid yet, although I promised them to come out for them, I really didn't plan to fall for them." However, I suspect that Chi Hong's little bastard has already seen my thoughts, so he instigated my father to let me get my hands on the salt and iron business. ”

"You're saying he deliberately lured you in?" Seeing Chi Ergongzi nodding, Chi Rui thought for a while, "What do you think of the father...... Is it normal? Could he have been tricked into doing such a foolish thing? ”

"I used to have such suspicions, but then I found out that the idea was really ridiculous, and everything was of his own free will." The second son of Chi looked at Chi Rui, "Big brother, father...... It has always been like this, the hatred in his heart is no longer simply to avenge the Jiangnan Shi clan, this hatred has long since changed its taste, and it is no longer so simple. Seeing Chi Rui frowning, he waved his hand, "Don't think too much, he definitely doesn't mean to seek power and usurp the throne, but whether he will take refuge in others, it's uncertain." ”

"You mean, he supports the Kingdom of Jin?"

"Probably yes, I didn't know how he got on the line of Jinguo, but after listening to what you said about Chi Hong's real life experience, I understood that he should have had a relationship with that side for a long time and got on the line, and he thought that he could help him there, so he cooperated with that side."

"He always knew about Chi Hong's background, but he didn't tell Chi Hong?" Chi Rui touched his chin, "It's possible, I've seen a few Jin people dressed up at home, but my father said that it was a serious businessman from Jin Country who came to do business, so I didn't ask much." Thinking about it now, there is a good chance that Prince Ning's affairs have something to do with him. ”

"He was so eager and persistent to accept King Ning as a student, I felt very problematic at the time." Chi Er Gongzi looked at the door, "Please give me some water." ”

The jailers glanced at him, and one of them went out, returned with a small pot and two teacups, and placed them on the small table beside them.

"Thank you!" The second son of Chi poured a cup of water for Chi Rui, poured a cup for himself, took a sip, and said, "Father has never been so eager to accept anyone as a student, King Ning is talented, I admit this, but it is not so much that he can stand at the door of the house and wait for a day and a night, and he has come to the door many times." With such a move, it is no wonder that Chi Hong will feel uncomfortable, and he will target King Ning when he has the opportunity, if it were me, it is estimated that he will do the same. But......" he sighed heavily, "if he has ulterior motives for doing this......"

"Deliberately approaching King Ning and leaking the news of King Ning's mansion." Chi Rui nodded, "Before, we didn't think about it over there, we just thought he was too stubborn, but now that I think about it, the back of my spine is cold." ”

"yes!" Chi Er Gongzi reluctantly changed his position, "I never thought about it, father...... is actually a person who is so good at layout, and the net he cast tightens all the people around him in this net. If you want to break free, you must break the net and never die. ”
