Chapter 004: Windfall

"Ahh

The three of them screamed, they didn't expect that someone would kick them, let alone someone dare to kick them, they were unprepared for a while, and the three of them fell to the ground.

Ji Ling'an, who was standing at the front, was the most miserable, his forehead first slammed heavily on the table, and when he fell to the ground, his chin slammed on the ground again, and it became a cushion for Jing Xiuming and Shi Jingyi.

It happened so suddenly, and Mr. Storyteller was stunned on the spot.

The corners of Hanaji's mouth hooked up a faint smile.

"It hurts—" Ji Ling'an felt like he was missing half his life, and the pain made him burst into tears.

Jing Xiuming, who was pressed in the middle, said angrily to Shi Jingyi, who was pressing on his back: "Shi Jingyi, what's the matter with you? Such a big person, still can't stand still? Don't you hurry up and try to crush us? ”

"Someone kicked me hard." Shi Jingyi felt that his back was about to be kicked off, so he turned over and lay on the ground in pain.

"Who is so bold as to kick us?" Jing Xiuming jumped up and saw a fierce man, and he immediately swallowed his saliva in fear. But when they thought that this was a chaotic city, their territory, they had the courage to shout: "Yes, you kicked us?" Do you know who we are? ”

The fierce man was the man who came in to drink tea before and had a scar on his face, he looked at Ji Ling'an coldly and said, "I know, he is the younger brother of the city lord Ji Lingjian Ji Ling'an." ”

It's good to know who they are, Jing Xiuming immediately had confidence: "Since you know who we are, you still dare to kick us?" Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get out of the chaotic city? ”

The big scar man ignored him and asked in a deep voice to Ji Ling'an, "Ji Ling'an, do you know who we are?" ”

Ji Ling'an heard a familiar voice, his heart chuckled, he didn't care about the pain and quickly turned over and sat up to look at the other party, and it took a while to recognize who the other party was, he was flustered: "You are Uncle Xiong!?" ”

Xiong Gang is his father's personal guard, as long as his father is there, there will be Xiong Gang, and where Xiong Gang appears, his father will also be there.

So his father is here?

Ji Lingan hurriedly looked around, only to see a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar sitting calmly in the corner drinking hot tea.

He quickly recognized that the other party was his father and Mingxian, and quickly got up, bowed his head in awe, and whispered, "Father, father, you are back." ”

Didn't he say that his father wouldn't be back until days away?

Why did you go back to the chaotic city today and dress up in disguise?

As everyone knows, in order to understand the true situation of the chaotic city and the city lord's mansion, Ji Mingxian, who has not returned for many years, specially returned to the chaotic city in disguise in advance, so as to prevent anyone from knowing that they are going back to the chaotic city and faking a false image to perfunctory them. But they never thought that Hua Sitong knew their whereabouts in "Chengshenlu", so they came to the tea shop early in the morning and waited for them to appear.

The male protagonist Ji Nanxing also knew that Ji Mingxian would return to the chaotic city on this day, and would stay in the tea shop for a while, so Ji Ling'an was brought to the tea shop by Ji Nanxing early in the morning, the purpose was to let Ji Mingxian see with his own eyes how his youngest son treated his brother's orphans, so that Ji Mingxian felt guilty and blamed for the orphans, and then compensated for the orphans.

This orphan is Jinan Xing.

When he was seven years old, he and his parents came to visit his uncle and famous dedication in the troubled city. Unexpectedly, he encountered robbers on the way, his parents died, and he was seriously injured, but fortunately Ji Mingxian brought people to arrive to save a small life, and then was raised in the city lord's mansion.

Although Jinan Xing can still eat and dress well as before, in private, he is in the same situation as a child daughter-in-law, and he is often bullied by Ji Ling'an, especially when Ji Mingxian is not in the City Lord's Mansion, his life is even more difficult.

This is also the reason why the original Jinan Xing would help the child daughter-in-law, he thought that the child daughter-in-law would be sympathetic to him because of the same situation.

It's a pity that Jinan Xing's plan this time was preempted by her, and her previous conversation with Ji Ling'an was that she deliberately guided Ji Ling'an to tell the truth, so that Ji Mingxian could know what kind of life the child daughter-in-law has lived all these years.

"Old City Lord." Shi Jingyi and Jing Xiuming also recognized Ji Mingxian, and they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground with weak legs, and lowered their heads, not daring to look at the face of the old city lord.

With a snap, Ji Mingxian put down the tea bowl heavily, stared at Ji Ling'an coldly, and asked word by word: "Ji Ling'an, this is how you and your mother take care of my life-saving benefactor's child?" ”

At the beginning, it was his wife who repeatedly promised to take care of Hua Sitong, and every time he came back and saw Hua Sitong, he was living a life of fine clothes and food, so he was relieved to hand people into the hands of his wife, and then went to do his business with peace of mind.

Over the years, he has always thought that Hua Sitong is doing well in the Ji family, if it weren't for the scene of Hua Sitong being bullied with his own eyes and hearing what his youngest son said, he couldn't believe that Hua Sitong was living a more humble life than his subordinates.

Ji Ling'an's face turned pale, and he hurriedly knelt down in front of Ji Mingxian and explained: "Father, what I just said was angry, please don't take it seriously." ”

Xiong Gang snorted coldly.

And they are not blind, so how can they not know whether what he says is true or false?

If Hua Sitong really lives well in the City Lord's Mansion, how can he dress like a beggar and look skinny.

Ji Ling'an heard Xiong Gang's hum, his body trembled, and his heart was even more panicked and scared.

Xiong Gang is the chief of the guard of the City Lord's Mansion, and all the guards respect Xiong Gang, and he is a brother born and died with Hua Sitong's father.

Now seeing his brothers and children being bullied and not being human, coupled with hearing him say such heartless words to the orphans of the guards, I am afraid that no one in the guards will dare to swear to protect him to the death.

"Do you think I'll still believe what you say?" Ji Mingxian was angry and disappointed with his youngest son: "I'll clean you up when I go back." ”

Ji Lingan knelt on the ground and did not dare to move, nor did he dare to refute.

Ji Mingxian raised his hand to beckon Si Tong, and said to her in the gentlest tone: "Tong'er, you come here." ”

Hana Sitong didn't move.

"Don't be afraid, I'm your uncle, come here."

Hua Sitong said with a cold face: "The Ji family doesn't allow me to call you Uncle Ji, and you will be beaten once you call it." ”

Ji Mingxian sank his face: "Is that really the case?" ”

Ji Lingan hurriedly denied: "Father, there is nothing to do, it is her nonsense." ”

Hua Sitong sneered: "Ji Ling'an, the scars of being whipped by you when I was called Uncle Ji are still on my body, do you want to take a look?" It's your favorite hook and whip. ”

Ji Ling'an: "......"

Xiong Gang said coldly: "It seems that the guard's family is inferior to beasts in the eyes of Ji Xiaogongzi, and they can be beaten and scolded at will." ”

The Ji family once promised the guards that as long as they swore allegiance to their master and protected their master's safety, they would treat their families well, but what is the current situation?

Although the guards received the money of the Ji family and ate the rice and grain of the Ji family, they had not yet reached the point of paying for their lives, and only the masters who treated them sincerely were worthy of their lives, and a master like Ji Ling'an was not worthy of their lives.

Ji Ling'an said urgently: "Uncle Xiong, it's not like this. ”

"Smack-" Ji Mingxian slapped Ji Ling'an's face with a slap, and said angrily: "Did I let you talk to this brute?" ”

Well played.

Mr. Storyteller clapped his hands in his heart and applauded loudly, this slap made him feel indescribably happy in his heart, and he would dare to bully the flower girl in the future.

Ji Lingan looked at Ji Mingxian in disbelief, this was the first time his father beat him, since he beat him for a stinky girl.

Ji Mingxian turned his head to the storyteller and asked, "Shopkeeper, Tong'er, why do I owe you five hundred taels?" ”

"This ......" Mr. Storyteller couldn't help but look at Hua Sitong, and he didn't know why Hua Sitong said that he owed him five hundred taels.

Hua Sitong replied for Mr. Storyteller: "In the city lord's mansion, I can only drink a bowl of white porridge that is so thin that it can't be thinner every two days, I am really hungry, so I can only sneak out to ask Uncle Qi for food, and promise that he will repay him if he has money in the future, Uncle Qi will give me some food when he sees me pitiful, and I will owe five hundred taels in the long run." ”

Mr. Storyteller: "......"

He felt that Hua Sitong was quite suitable for storytelling, and even he had to believe the lies he made up.

"Do you drink a bowl of porridge and water every two days?" Ji Mingxian didn't expect Hua Sitong to have such a hard time in the city lord's mansion, and he felt really uncomfortable, so he took out the silver ticket from his arms and handed it to the storyteller: "This is a thousand taels of silver tickets, of which five hundred taels are the money to pay back for her, and the other five hundred taels are the money for my son to break your table, and thank you for taking care of Tong'er for me all these years." ”

"This, that's too much." The storyteller looked embarrassed, the stinky girl didn't owe him any money at all, where was he embarrassed to accept a thousand taels of silver tickets, and a thousand taels was a huge amount of money for him, an ordinary person, and he didn't dare to accept it easily.

He couldn't help but look at Hanaji, who winked at him.

The storyteller was stunned.

Wait, this can't be the windfall that the stinky girl just said, right?

Won't this girl really be able to pinch and count?

Or did she get the news earlier and know that the old city lord would be here?

But what Ji Ling'an doesn't know, how does she know about a little girl with no status?

At this time, the heavy curtain was lifted again, and the cold wind blew in.

The crowd looked at the gate.

Hua Sitong's eyes moved slightly, and the male protagonist finally came.
