"That kid was also arranged by you, at a young age, he acted well."

Ji Zibai said: "Of course, they are allowed to insert eyeliner, and I am not allowed to put an undercover agent in?" ”

Hao Lianfeng figured things out at once, and he said: "It's a good way, you let the Ji family enter the game, and let the Ming Gongling send people to infiltrate, so that the two sides can close the distance and not distinguish between you and me, and you arrange for Ji Wenhong who pretends to be rebelled in, it is much simpler than arranging an undercover agent to the Ming family or the governor's mansion." ”

"I just want to keep my own family, and I can't take care of the excess, so I made this decision, if Ming Gongling doesn't want to make a move on me and Jianping City, it will naturally be the best."

Hao Lianfeng retorted: "Their Ming family has invested so much, how can they let the fat in their mouths fly out." ”

Ji Zibai suddenly realized something: "Is Ming Gongling for the benefit of the Governor's Mansion or for the benefit of the Ming family, if it is for the benefit of the Ming family, I may talk to Governor Zhao Gong and cooperate." ”

Hao Lianfeng immediately dispelled his thoughts, "The disciple of my sect has already contacted Zhao Gong, he is a courageless person, as long as there are no major changes during his term of office, it will not affect his own interests, and he will not take the initiative to intervene." He is a guy who sees the wind and steers the rudder, always thinking about my Xuanming Dao and other sects fighting with the Ming family, and then waiting for the opportunity to seize the benefits that have great and no hidden dangers. ”

Ji Zibai followed: "He wants to take advantage of the fisherman, Xuan Ming Dao and the Ming family are both local forces, once they fight, he can wipe you all out in the name of the Governor's Mansion." ”

Hao Lianfeng said: "Think beautifully, the first thing to take after the Ming family seizes power is the governor, our Xuanming Dao has to lean back, he can't even think through this, don't count on him." ”

Ji Zibai said: "The yard here is small, let's go outside to talk?" ”

Hao Lianfeng said: "Of course it's good, solve the troubles outside, let's have a good drink at night, you must have hidden a lot of good wine." ”

Ji Zibai said: "You must be a roundworm in my stomach, you know everything." ”

The two of them talked and talked, and it seemed that it was finalized. Xu Zilai and Ji Wenyi haven't reacted yet.

Xu Zilai asked with some surprise: "Brother Ji, let's not hide?" ”

Ji Zibai said: "The people of Xuanming Dao have come to support us, and they are afraid of what bullshit Ming family." ”

Xu Zilai smiled: "That's really good, I've been suffocated for so long, and I don't know if I can go out to loosen my muscles." ”

Hao Lianfeng hurriedly said: "I didn't expect that Brother Xu is also a temperamental, if there is a fight in the future, you must call me." ”

"That's not good, Master Hao starts, how can the other party have a chance of winning."

Hao Lianfeng said modestly: "Don't dare to say it, there are not a few people in the world who are more powerful than me, in case someone invites someone to come in advance, it is not known who will kill the deer." ”

Xu Zilai thought for a while, "Then Master Hao shouldn't reveal his identity, lest the other party dare not come, or find a helper." ”

Ji Zibai said with a smile: "You two are full of fights, how can Ming Gongling say that he is also a character, and he can still carry it in his heart, besides, he has more important things to do, and he is absolutely too lazy to pay attention to us." ”

Hao Lianfeng was a little curious, "Do you know what Ming Gongling wants to do?" ”

"He has seen all the merchants and rich people in Jianping City, and it is impossible to say that he has no ideas, I guess he probably has a big appetite, and he thinks that my family is not satisfied with his stomach."

Hao Lianfeng sneered: "People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, why does he think that this group of mercenary businessmen will get on the same boat with him." ”

Ji Zibai said: "This is unknown, maybe he has something more important in his hands." ”

The four of them walked back along the corridor, out of the courtyard, in front of a collapsed house, a group of children of the Ji family saw Ji Zibai, who had not shown up for a long time, as if they had seen a savior at once.

"It's the old master who came out."

"Our family is saved!"

"I said that the old master would not abandon us."

And Ji Longwei and other direct children and grandchildren who were standing at the forefront were stunned, Ji Zibai really came out, and it seemed that the problem could be solved, but their brothers might not be better, so they hung their heads one by one, and they were out of place in the crowd.

Ji Zibai cleared his voice, "I already know the general thing, in addition to replacing all the swords of the Mountain Sect, I decided to give the two restaurants in the south and north of the city to the Mountain Sect as compensation." The Virtuous Poor Daoist has agreed. ”

The Ji family was in an uproar, and even the four brothers raised their heads suddenly, looking at Ji Zibai in disbelief, these compensations are bloody, and they are also a lot of money for the Ji family, even if they let them do it, they can also make the mountain sect have nothing to say if they take out these compensations, where is the need for the old family master to go out.

For a while, there was a lot of noise and explosion, Ji Zibai shouted several times in a row and no one paid attention to it, and they didn't show up for a long time, they had forgotten the majesty of the head of the house, and their hearts became more and more indulgent.

Xu Zilai roared angrily, "Enough! ”

The powerful aura coercion directly shocked everyone, and there was no sound in an instant.

Ji Zibai's face turned pale, and he said: "You guys are really getting more and more disagreeable, starting tomorrow, each family's case money will be permanently halved." ”

A young man said in a voice unconvinced: "Why are you deducting our money, you are no longer the head of the family." ”

There was a burst of echo from the crowd, and Ji Zibai glanced at the young man who spoke, "You won't have a penny in the future, either you will work at home to earn money, or you will go out to ask for food!" It's the same for people who just started to heckle. ”

His words were orders, and those present did not intercede, but relied on the fact that the family business was earned by him alone.

Ji Zibai looked at everyone with sharp eyes, "I understand what you are thinking, giving too much to outsiders, it is completely unnecessary, and it is the same to send away less." Bah! Have you forgotten what the Ji family relied on to become the number one merchant in Jianping City? Rely on your little belly chicken intestines, rely on your calculations or rely on your rats? I should teach you that I taught it a long time ago, and if you don't understand it now, you won't understand it in the future, so you will honestly take the money and wait for death, don't think that you are still a character, and add blockage to other people's hearts! ”

"And a few of you!" Ji Zibai looked at a few sons who were not angry, and for some reason a trace of loneliness appeared in his heart, he had worked hard for half his life, just for these bastards?

"Boss, you are the most cowardly in this, you think you have performed a show of father's love and filial piety, but as a result, the family is torn apart, and even the principles of doing business have been lost, what kind of family is this! And your second child, I understand your thoughts, everyone has selfishness, and there is nothing wrong with wanting to be the head of the house, but you didn't look in the mirror to see for yourself, what virtues and abilities do you have to be the head of the house, and you actually engage in some crooked ways every day, but you are timid first when you encounter a big scene. ”

Ji Zibai walked past Ji Longxiang and ignored it, looking at Ji Longlin with some complexity in his eyes.

"When I was young, I often went out to do business, your three brothers were all raised by your mother, only you are the fourth, I grew up with my own hands, your personality is very similar to me, but not smart enough."

Ji Longlin looked at his father in front of him, those bright eyes seemed to see through everything about him, and he couldn't help but have a trace of fear.

Ji Zibai looked at his youngest son with dodging eyes, and said with some hatred: "You are stronger than the eldest and second, it's not that the two of them are self-motivated, but they don't see the long term enough, how can they really succeed in seeking skin with the tiger." You are my son, I will not do anything to you, leave the Ji family by yourself, and do it yourself. ”

Ji Longlin trembled, and immediately knelt on the ground and said, "What does my father mean, why did you drive me away, my son doesn't understand." ”

Seeing that his youngest son was still dying, Ji Zibai said bluntly: "Ah Yi just came home that day, you didn't take him back to the boss, but found a secluded side room for him to sleep in for the night." You set up a lot of guards outside, but you didn't want to protect him at all, but you were afraid that he would run away, and then you instigated the three worshippers in your family to assassinate Ah Yi to see what skills he learned in Xuanming Dao. But you didn't leave a back hand at all, if it weren't for Ah Yi's profound cultivation, I'm afraid you, who were an uncle, would have taken the life of your nephew. ”

When the brothers heard this, they all looked at the fourth brother in shock, as if they couldn't believe that he was so vicious.

Seeing that Ji Longlin didn't reply, Ji Zibai said again: "On the second day, you took Ah Yi to find the boss but you were going to pass by Ji Wenhong's sphere of influence, didn't you want to borrow a knife to kill someone?" ”

Ji Longlin's forehead immediately oozed sweat, and he didn't dare to say anything.

Ji Longwei, as a father, was angry at this time and was about to step forward to beat him, but was stopped by Ji Longxiang.

Ji Zibai glared at Ji Longwei and said, "After all, he is your younger brother, can you still kill him, I said, let the fourth child leave by himself." As for you, go back to confinement, as the boss, you can't unite your relatives and brothers, so you will get to this point. ”

Ji Longwei also wilted like Ji Longlin.

In the end, only Ji Wenhong, who was the eldest grandson, was left, but Ji Zibai was much more polite to him, "You can now be regarded as the person in charge of the Governor's Mansion in the Ji family, and I don't dare to be too much to you, but the things of the Ji family can only be managed by the Ji family, if you are interested, you can leave with the minions of Ming Gongling." ”

Ji Wenhong said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Since grandpa is out of the customs, then everything naturally depends on your arrangement, and grandchildren dare not disobey." ”

After that, he glanced at his younger brother Ji Wenyi provocatively, "The Ji family is so dangerous, it is safer for you to return to Xuanming Dao at your level." ”

Ji Wenyi immediately said: "This doesn't bother my brother." ”

Ji Wenhong didn't say anything more, turned around and left, taking away most of the shopkeeper with his surname. That's the case, Ji Zibai also knows that the Ji family still has the eyeliner planted by Ming Gongling, but now everything is not important.

It was only at this time that Ji Zibai came to Ji Longxiang and said: "The third child is still acting like this, from today on, he will be the acting head of the family, and he will handle all the affairs of the family." ”

Then he said to Ji Longxiang: "If you behave well, the development of the Ji family will be handed over to you in the future, and you have to do it yourself." ”

"Yes, father." Ji Longxiang was a little dazed, and took over the burden in a daze.

Seeing that the matter was dealt with, Ji Zibai turned his head to Hao Lianfeng and saluted, and said, "Let the poor Daoist see and smile." ”

Hao Lianfeng said: "What's the matter, Brother Ji quickly cuts through the mess, and as soon as he makes a move, he will show the true chapter, and he will be admired by the poor Dao." ”

Ji Zibai said: "This is not a skill, if everything goes smoothly like the Mountain Sect, it is great wisdom and great means." ”

The two greeted each other like this, and in the eyes of everyone, they came to the small courtyard where Ji Zibai usually lived and grew up smoothly to drink and talk, and as for the outside world, they were all handed over to Ji Longxiang to deal with.

……

Hao Lianfeng went to drink with Ji Zibai alone, and the disciples of the Mountain Sect naturally arranged accommodation, and with Ji Zibai's strong move, the Ji family did not dare to make excessive moves, everything was in order.

In the courtyard, You Ziji looked at the door from time to time, but it attracted the doubts of several people in the Mountain Sect, that the whole chapter was a big grinning character, he posted to You Ziji's side and asked, "Brother You, what are you waiting for?" Didn't we hook up with the Miss or the little maid of the Ji family while we weren't paying attention. ”

Quan Sheng looked at his friend helplessly, and said to You Ziji apologetically: "Senior Brother You, don't pay attention to him, he has always been open-mouthed in the whole chapter." ”

He was the same age as You Ziji, but since he lost, he called You Ziji his senior brother, which made You Ziji uncomfortable, and after persuading him a few times, he saw that Quansheng still insisted on it, so he had no choice, and slowly adapted.

Quan Zhang didn't care at all, and said to Quan Sheng: "Don't you care too much, don't you want me to ask, you're really a twister." ”

Quan Sheng was annoyed for a while, and said, "You are a normal person, but you don't care about Senior Brother You's face." ”

Seeing that the two were arguing, You Ziji hurriedly said, "You guessed the whole chapter." ”

"Guess wrong? Do you like? ”

Quansheng's face turned dark, and he kicked his friend out, "Talking nonsense again, let Uncle and Senior Brother hear that you can't be punished." ”

You Ziji didn't know what the whole chapter meant, but replied, "I'm waiting for my senior brother." ”

"Senior brother?" The whole life and the whole chapter asked in unison.

"Aren't they both in the yard?"

He explained: "I'm talking about Senior Brother Ji. ”

"Senior Brother Ji." Quan Zhang asked curiously, "Could it be the Ji family?" Who is it? We've seen it or not. ”

At this moment, he didn't even hide his curiosity in his whole life, and looked at You Ziji with burning eyes, waiting for him to give the answer.

"The second young master of the Ji family, Ji Wenyi is my senior brother."

"It's him! This is a rich man, if you have such a senior brother in Xuanming Dao, you must follow the fragrant and spicy food. ”

You Ziji thought for a while and said, "I have indeed been taken care of a lot by Senior Brother Ji. ”

Quansheng asked, "How is his strength?" ”

"Xuanjing cultivation."

Quan Zhang complained: "You are the only one who is a foundation building monk in the Xuanming Dao. ”

You Ziji nodded: "I am indeed the weakest in the Xuanming Dao, but I have only been in the beginner for a year, and I will be able to reach the Xuanming Realm in the future." ”

Quan Zhang wanted to continue to speak, but he was pulled down by Quan Sheng, he couldn't even beat the weakest person in Xuanming Dao, and he really didn't have the face to continue to mention the sect and cultivation.

Quanshengdao; "Senior Brother You, maybe Senior Brother Ji has something to do, and you can come over later, besides, your current identity is a disciple of the Mountain Sect, and Senior Brother Ji has nothing to do with us, so it really doesn't make sense to come here so rashly."

You Ziji took out the words that Hao Lianfeng and the fourth senior brother often talked about after they went out, and said: "Our two sects are in the same breath, even if we know each other, it is not necessarily a strange thing." ”

As soon as he heard the whole chapter, he also felt reasonable, who knows if Ji Wenyi was involved when their Mountain Sect and Xuanming Dao were in contact with each other, and whether he had met with the disciples of the Mountain Sect. It's just that the reality must be no, and they just finished fighting two days ago.

Similarly, Ji Wenyi didn't figure out this trick, he only felt that it was not good for him to come directly, but in broad daylight, there were many pairs of eyes staring at the place where the disciples of the Mountain Sect were resting, and there was really no time to come, so he could only sneak in when the black people were quiet at night.

As soon as Ji Wenyi landed, he saw Bao Shan standing on the road with a lamp, which startled Ji Wenyi and hurriedly hid in the dark.

Bao Shan had already seen his movements clearly, so he said, "Senior Brother Ji doesn't need to hide, I'm here to wait for you." ”

Ji Wenyi heard the voice a little familiar, isn't it the fourth senior brother, he put his mind at ease, walked out of the grass, the frightened heart for many days was much better at the moment he saw Hao Lianfeng, and when he arrived at the place where the mountain sect was resting, he met the fourth senior brother, and his heart completely calmed down and he had a sense of safety.

"Fourth Senior Brother is here to wait for me, what's the matter?"

Where is there something wrong with Baoshan, he said: "It's just that your sneaking movement is too big, and I have already discovered it, and I am worried that you may not know our respective residences when you climb into the wall, so I came out to pick you up." ”

Ji Wenyi asked embarrassedly, "Is the movement really that big?" ”

Bao Shan said with a smile: "For the Xuanjing monks, I naturally can't feel it, but my realm is higher, and my perception ability is higher than that of the Xuanjing, so I naturally see your actions clearly." ”

Ji Wenyi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, it was good that it was not his own problem.

Bao Shan asked, "What are you doing in the middle of the night, why don't you come directly during the day." ”

Ji Wenyi explained: "Master Hao pretended to be a monk of the Mountain Sect this time, do I have any connection with the Mountain Sect, and it would be bad if it was seen by someone with a heart. ”

Bao Shan looked at him with a smile, "You are really confused, how can outsiders know if you know the Mountain Sect, it would be good to come in directly." Who do you want to find, Senior Sister Yao Yi is in the first wing room on the left, Senior Brother Zhang and Little Brother are in the second wing room on the left, if you have anything to do, go to them, don't go to the wrong room. ”

Ji Wenyi said: "It's just that the fourth senior brother doesn't cheat me, he doesn't dare to make a mistake, I am not the opponent of the senior sister." ”

He was about to leave, but suddenly turned around and said, "I want to take them to the riverside to see the fog, whether the fourth senior brother will go." ”

It turned out that he habitually regarded his senior brother as a senior teacher, and almost forgot that Baoshan was a contemporary with him.

Bao Shan smiled: "You guys, I won't go to see it, there is still a big bag of magic weapons for me to look at." ”

Ji Wenyi said: "Why doesn't Senior Brother put them away?" ”

Bao Shan explained: "That's in the sect, and only with the big array can you open up space to take out the magic weapon directly from the library." Besides, the magic weapon in my bag is a powerful thing, and it's not so easy to store. ”

Ji Wenyi's eyes lit up, and he said, "How powerful, can senior brother let me see it?" ”

Bao Shan said: "I guess you don't have a chance to see it, if you want to use these things, I'm afraid it will come to the moment of life and death." ”

I don't know if the fourth senior brother is exaggerating, but Ji Wenyi doesn't want to be in danger at all.

He left Baoshan's room, went straight to the second door of the left wing, knocked on the door a few times, and went in by himself without waiting for the person inside to respond.

Zhang Xingwen in the room really didn't rest, so even You Ziji meditated and practiced cross-legged.

The two were not surprised at all when they saw Ji Wenyi come in, but chatted with each other.

Zhang Xingwen said: "The little junior brother is willing to gamble and lose, I just guessed that he came in with his right foot, you see that is indeed the case." ”

You Ziji looked reluctant, "I obviously listened to the voice, it was my left foot first, why did I change one foot when I came in." ”

Zhang Xingwen said: "The ability of the junior brother to investigate is a little worse, if you look directly with your eyes like me, you will definitely not be wrong." ”

Ji Wenyi stepped forward to interrupt the conversation between the two, "You two are really boring, what is there to guess about this kind of thing." ”

Zhang Xingwen said: "Who asked someone to break his promise and said that he would take us to the lake to watch the fog and fish, but he couldn't see anyone for several days." ”

Ji Wenyi explained: "It's not that something has delayed, I have been under house arrest by my family recently, and I have no chance to go out." Besides, I'm not here tonight. ”

Zhang Xingwen said happily: "Going tonight?" ”

"I've come here at night for this, and if we go in time, we'll be able to see the spectacle of the fog just forming."

Zhang Xingwen said excitedly: "That's really good. What else do we need to bring, don't we have to go to the river to catch fish? ”

Ji Wenyi said: "There's no need to be so troublesome, with the cultivation of the four of us, there is nothing that can't be solved by catching a fish." ”

You Ziji interjected at this time and asked; "Look at the fog? Catch fish? When was this set, and how did I not know? ”

Ji Wenyi and Zhang Xingwen remembered that only the two of them had discussed this matter, and You Ziji and Yao Yi didn't know about it, so Zhang Xingwen suddenly made a difficulty.

"We haven't told Senior Sister yet, and we don't know if he's going or not."

Seeing Senior Brother like this, Ji Wenyi immediately put on a teaching tone: "What's the use of Senior Brother thinking here, let's just ask." ”

Seeing that Zhang Xingwen was still a little hesitant, Ji Wenyi offered a killer weapon, "Then only the three of me will go together, but you have to hide it from your senior sister, otherwise you will blame us when the time comes." ”

When Zhang Xingwen heard that he was going to deceive Yao Yi, he couldn't help but feel entangled in his heart, he knew that he would be the first person to leak the secret to Yao Yi at that time.

You Ziji also began to fan the flames at this time, and said, "If senior brother is embarrassed, then let me say it." ”

Under the temptation of the two junior brothers, Zhang Xingwen finally made up his mind that even if Yao Yi was not interested, he would persuade him with his eloquence. What's more, he also has two helpers.

Before coming to the first left wing, Zhang Xingwen took a deep breath to calm his mood and knocked lightly on the door, but there was no response inside.

Zhang Xingwen asked a little unconfidently: "Senior brother, is my strength too small?" ”

But no one responded behind him, and the two brothers had long since lost where to hide, leaving Zhang Xingwen at a loss.
