Chapter 66: The Big Deal
Xiaoman was stunned, how could the old man, who was still iron-clad before, suddenly become like this?
Master Mao helped Ji Lao up: "Get up and say, has your son taken the Daomen pill?" Otherwise, with the severity of the zombie poison in him, he would have already attacked, but now he can stay awake for a moment, and the zombie poison has only invaded the internal organs, and has not yet invaded the brain to control consciousness. ”
Ji Lao was surprised and said: "Dao Chang is really a god, I did go to Maoshan to ask for elixir. ”
Master Mao bowed slightly: "Your son is still saved, but you have to tell me what happened, and where are our friends?" ”
Ji Lao Er ran out without saying a word, shouting and screaming, and let people go immediately.
In the inner hall of the Ji family's reception, Master Mao and others were treated as VIPs by Ji Lao and sat on the main seat, while Ji Lao himself and Ji Mengjie sat on the side seats, and after a while, Luo Hui and Lisa were supported by someone, looking very weak, but still conscious.
Ji Lao hurriedly explained to Master Mao: "I'm sorry Dao Chief, they lost their strength due to poisonous smoke before, and they have already taken the antidote, and it will take an hour to recover." ”
Lisa glared at Ji Lao dissatisfied, and Ji Lao hurriedly bowed his head and apologized: "Girl, I have no choice but to do it, it's really ......." ”
Master Mao interrupted: "Okay, since we have all sat down, don't mention anything else, if you still want to save your son, tell us what's going on, don't hide it in the slightest, otherwise we won't be able to help you." ”
Ji Lao hurriedly told the whole thing the ins and outs, and several people were surprised when they heard it.
Chunchun said sharply: "Okay, it turns out that it is really the Ji family guarding and stealing!" ”
Ji Lao broke out in a cold sweat, and said embarrassedly: "Girl, it was because I didn't take care of my son that I made such a big incident, I'm really sorry, you guys are menacing, and the mystery of your identity makes me feel bottomless, as the head of the Ji family, I have to do this in order to preserve the Ji family's century-old foundation and reputation, in fact, I can probably guess your identity......." ”
Master Mao frowned, knowing that there were some things that could not be concealed from this old fox who had been crawling and rolling on the rivers and lakes for many years, and had a plan in his heart, but this matter needed to be discussed with Luo Hui, the captain, so he looked at him and planned to discuss with him, but Luo Hui waved his hand weakly and said: "Master, my brain is still a mess, and you are solely responsible for this matter." ”
After getting Luo Hui's approval, Master Mao said: "To be honest, we are indeed assigned by the top to investigate the four wealthy antique merchant families in Wutang, collect evidence of your crimes, and bring you to justice." ”
Ji Mengjie panicked when she heard Master Mao say this, and looked at Ji Lao nervously.
Ji Lao had expected it and was not surprised, and sighed lightly: "Alas, I will have to pay it back sooner or later, I expected that there would be today, but if the century-old foundation of the Ji family declines in my hands, I have no shame to face the ancestors of the Ji family, Dao Chief, when will your army come?" ”
Master Mao shook his head: "There is no big army. ”
Ji Lao was shocked: "Just a few of you?" ”
Xiao Man shook his chest muscles and said, "What, isn't it enough?" We're five comparable to the big troop! ”
Ji Lao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, I didn't mean that, I just ......." ”
Master Mao said: "It is not surprising that the Ji family and the other three antique wealthy merchant families have a great influence in Wutang, and considering the influence, they only sent a few of us over, hoping to reduce the big thing to a small and minimize the influence, if it can be resolved peacefully, it would be great, Ji Lao, why don't we make a deal?" ”
Ji Lao was puzzled: "What deal?" ”
Master Mao said: "We save your son, you let the ghost market disappear, and at the same time collect the mountain and stop doing illegal things, as long as the Ji family can turn to the right line, the boss can not blame the past, so that the Ji family will not decline, this is good for both of us, what do you think?" ”
Ji Lao was a little hesitant, struggling violently with his thoughts, he knew that even if the Ji family was powerful, it was just a tyrant in the town, if it weren't for the Ji family clamping down on the economic lifeline of Wutang, I am afraid that he would have been brought to justice a long time ago, and now that things are big and are being targeted by the top, if someone is sent to exterminate the Ji family, it will be a matter of minutes, and the Ji family will have no room for resistance at all.
Now the representative sent from above is not only willing to save his son, but also does not blame the Ji family for the bad things they have done in the past, and preserves the Ji family's century-old foundation, which makes him quite moved, with the Ji family's solid family background, it is not a problem to do any legitimate business, the profit is less but it is practical, there is no harm to the entire Ji family, what reason is there not to agree?
Thinking of this, Ji Lao took the initiative to stand up and bow to a few people, and said firmly: "Ji Jinsong thanks the leader for not blaming the past, I am willing to cooperate, give up illegal business and turn to the right business, and I am also willing to assist in defeating the other three major family forces together, which can be regarded as repaying the leader's love and trust, and making up for the past mistakes of the Ji family." ”
Master Mao smiled: "Okay, Ji Lao's ideological consciousness is really high, admire!" ”
Chunchun snorted and said, "I said Lao Ji, you can take a big advantage." ”
Ji Lao smiled awkwardly.
Ji Mengjie breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, she didn't want to continue to do these things for a long time, but she was born in the Ji family, she couldn't help herself, so she had to accept the arrangement of fate, and now these people can still save her father, which makes her very happy.
The atmosphere eased at once, Ji Lao asked people to make good tea and serve it, and talked freely with a few people, he seemed to have unloaded the burden of being in charge and was much happier.
Lisa whispered to Luo Hui: "Brother Mao, don't you see it, in fact, Ji Lao has long had the intention to change his ways." ”
Luo Hui nodded and said: "I can see it, it's just that there are some things he doesn't have to choose, the ancestors of the Ji family have been robbing tombs and reselling cultural relics for generations, it is the family tradition and the sense of mission of the family that are at work, what Ji Lao wants is someone to give him a choice, give him a step down, Master Mao just did it, and this is mixed with the life of his only child, so of course Ji Lao agreed." ”
Lisa said: "The master's trick Huairou policy is quite good, the Ji family is equivalent to being incorporated into the regular army, and he also offered to assist us in dealing with the other three antique wealthy merchant families, which is really an unexpected gain, so that we can successfully complete the task according to the requirements of the boss." ”
Luo Hui smiled bitterly: "There is still a very important link, how to solve General Feiyan, the thousand-year-old zombie king, if this thing is completed, it will be considered complete, but I listened to Ji Lao's introduction just now, this matter is quite tricky, if it can't save Ji Lao's son, then tonight's transaction will be nullified, and it is unknown whether Ji Lao will continue to choose to cooperate." ”
Lisa frowned: "Well, how to deal with General Feiyan, the thousand-year-old zombie king, is indeed the key to whether we can successfully complete the mission!" ”
