Chapter 9: The Peerless Son
Lei Wu was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Wushuang Gongzi, which Wushuang Gongzi?"
Zhang Ruyi said with a smile: "In the world, apart from the Ji Wushuang son of the Heavenly Providence Lou Ji family, who else dares to call himself the unequaled son?"
Lei Wu and the others were all taken aback.
Providence Building, Ji Wushuang?
Even if they had lived in seclusion in this remote town for twenty years, they would never have heard the name.
For hundreds of years, no matter how the dynasty changes, how the owner of the dragon chair changes, the Providence Building has always been standing, and the wealth of the Ji family is still rich and rivaled.
There are even legends that those founding emperors who have changed dynasties over the years, if there is no secret support from the Providence Lou Ji family in terms of financial resources and connections, how can they defeat the strong with the weak, and the big with the small, and finally seize the entire country?
Therefore, all the imperial courts and officials of all dynasties did not dare to offend the Providence Lou Ji family, after all, there were new people in the country, and the emperor would take turns to do it, but the wealth and status of the Providence Lou Ji family had never been shaken.
No one wants to go against the God of Wealth, does they?
Twenty years ago, Ji Tianyu, the owner of the previous generation of Providence Building, died of illness suddenly, and since then, his young son Ji Wushuang has inherited all the business of Providence Building, until now.
Such sensational news has been heard even in such a remote town.
This Ji Wushuang son, speaking of which, is the same as the lord of the first floor of the first floor of the past dynasties, he is also a mysterious figure, not to mention seeing him, even what he looks like, tall, short, fat and thin, whether he is married or not, no one knows everything, the only thing that knows is that he is probably the only person in the world who is richer than the emperor now.
However, such a legendary figure was now standing alive in front of him, and Lei Wu couldn't believe his ears, no, his eyes.
Lei Wu looked at Ji Wushuang, who was as rich as jade in front of him, and even his tongue seemed to be a little knotted: "Wushuang Gongzi, you, you are Ji Wushuang's Gongzi of Tianyi Building?"
Ji Wushuang smiled and said, "I am, is there any benefit in pretending to be Ji Wushuang?"
Lei Wu looked him up and down in disbelief, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
It's no wonder that he can use two peerless horses like Dark Cloud Treading Snow to pull the carriage, and even the top masters like Ruyi Double Knife Zhang Ruyi and Mountain Splitting Axe Jiao Ke are accompanied by him, driving horses for him, only a character like him is worthy.
Money can make ghosts grind!
Ji Wushuang looked at Lei Wu's surprised eyes, and said with a smile: "You see, I, Ji Wushuang, only have a head, eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and only have two arms, not a three-headed and six-armed monster." ”
Lei Wu smiled a little shyly and said: "I thought that a big man like Ji Gongzi would definitely be hugging each other when he traveled, and the mighty lineup was really not expected to be just riding in an ordinary carriage." ”
Ji Wushuang laughed and said: "I'm just an ordinary person, and I'm not the emperor going out on patrol, how can there be such a battle? Compared to you, I just have a few more silver coins that can send ordinary people, but even if there is more money, I also only have three meals a day, and I can only sleep in one bed at night, which is no different from you." ”
Lei Wu unconsciously raised his eyes and glanced at Zhang Ruyi and Jiao Ke who were standing aside, and thought to himself, according to what you say, this Zhang Ruyi and Jiao Ke are ordinary people who are for money?
Ji Wushuang looked at him with a flickering gaze, as if he had insight into what he was thinking, and said: "This old gentleman and Jiao Daxia didn't come to help me because of the money, they have a lot of friendship with my father, so they will sell their favors, accompany me, and protect me." ”
Lei Wu nodded, "oh", and then felt a burst of vigilance, how does this Ji Gongzi know his mind? It seems that he is quite proficient in the ability to observe people and understand people's hearts.
Ji Wushuang continued: "The two of them are the same as all of you,
You are all loyal and righteous people, and in order to repay your kindness, you are willing to live incognito for 20 years in this remote and poor place, just for a promise, and you are really rare righteous men! How precious are righteous men like you, even if I use more money, I can't buy them. ”
The momentum of these words was quite flattering to Lei Wu, and Lei Wu's hearts were warm and extremely comfortable.
Lei Wu paused for a moment before he opened his mouth and asked the question in his heart: "I don't know how Gongzi Ji knew that the people of the Jiangnan Ming family were coming here to find our trouble, and why did they rush here to help?"
Ji Wushuang seemed to have known that he had this question, and replied with a smile without surprise: "Don't you forget that the business of my Providence Building is all over the world, and almost all of the big and small towns have people from my Providence Building, so if you want to inquire about the news, you are only afraid that my Providence Mansion will be able to excel." ”
"As soon as the people from the Jiangnan Ming family left, I got the news. After a little investigation, they knew their purpose, this time they were ordered by the old man of the Ming family to come to find the daughter who was hidden by Lei Wei back then, Lei Feng. ”
Lei Wu frowned: "But why did they come to look for ** after twenty years?
Ji Wushuang sighed and said: "You are far away in this remote town, I'm afraid you don't know yet, Lei Feng has a son named Tang Qiu, a few months ago around mid-autumn, he was in Hangzhou City, and he had unfortunately died. ”
Lei Wu's face changed, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "What? The little young master is dead, who killed him?"
Ji Wushuang said slowly: "The one who killed him was Lei Potian, the master of the Great Thunder Gate Hall, such as one of the best masters in the world today, not only Tang Qiu died in his hands, but even the secret weapon Tang Lei in Tang Qiu's hands also fell into Lei Potian's hands." ”
Lei Wu's face became even more ugly, of course he understood what Tang Lei was, and he also clearly knew Tang Lei's power.
Ji Wushuang said: "Before this, Tang Qiu once used Tang Lei to kill Donghai Yu, one of the world's top masters, perhaps because of this, the Jiangnan Ming family guessed Tang Qiu's identity and the origin of the Tang Lei in his hand. I think that what the Jiangnan Ming family is really interested in may not be Lei Feng herself, but the copy of Tang Lei's drawings that may be in her hands!"
Lei Wu nodded while thinking about it, and said: "Yes, I also heard Lei Ye say that twenty years ago, he originally wanted to entrust the young lady to the care of the Jiangnan Ming family, but he later found that the Jiangnan Ming family seemed to be more interested in the things secretly developed by the Tangmen of Shuzhong and the Lei family of the Thunderbolt Hall in the secret cave of Huashan back then, and his heart was not good. That's why I decided to quietly hide Miss in this poor and remote place, and ordered us to guard it all the time. ”
Ji Wushuang also nodded and said: "That's right, the tragedy in the secret cave of Huashan back then, the elites of the Tang Sect in Shuzhong and the Lei family in the Thunderbolt Hall were all slaughtered, and Lei Feng was the only one alive. ”
After Lei Feng fled to Jiang Nanming's house, he would naturally tell them everything that had happened. The people of the Jiangnan Ming family originally thought that the blueprints of that thing should have fallen into the hands of the murderer of the massacre. But after so many years, a Tang feud suddenly appeared, and there was an extremely powerful secret weapon in his hand, and the people of the Jiangnan Ming family would naturally associate these together. ”
Once they confirmed that Tang Qiu was Lei Feng's son back then, of course they would think that the secret weapon in his hand must be something that the Tang Sect and the Lei family were secretly developing in the secret cave of Huashan back then. In this way, they can be sure that the drawings in the secret cave of Huashan must have been brought out by Lei Feng, and Lei Wei has been secretly continuing to develop them in the past twenty years, and now they have been successfully developed. ”
"Thinking about this, the Jiangnan Ming family will naturally covet this extremely powerful weapon, but now that Lei Wei and Tang Qiu are dead, this weapon has fallen into the hands of Lei Potian, so they can only come to find Lei Feng, who is most likely to have this drawing. ”
Lei Wu listened to Ji Wushuang's analysis, and couldn't help but nod again and again: "That's right, that's how it should be." ”
Ji Wushuang smiled and said: "Knowing their purpose, the Jiangnan Ming family has endured for many years and has not set foot in the rivers and lakes, and the secret plot must be very great, I naturally don't want such an incomparably powerful weapon to fall into their hands." ”
"So I started looking for Lei Feng's whereabouts, hoping to stop them before they do. To tell you the truth, this town you are hiding is really hard to find, it is too remote, and it took me a lot of work to find this place. ”
"It's just that what I didn't expect was that I was still one step late, and I couldn't save the lives of these righteous people in the end. Lei Wei's arrangement back then was indeed painstaking, which is really admirable. ”
As he spoke, he looked at the blood and corpses all over the ground, and sighed deeply, with a regretful expression on his face.
Lei Wu also sighed, and said comfortingly: "Master Ji doesn't have to regret it, we have actually been preparing for today for twenty years, and we are ready to sacrifice for the sake of Miss at any time." ”
"Although they have already sacrificed their lives for righteousness, if they know that Ji Gongzi, you still beat away the people of the Jiangnan Ming family, and the thoughtfulness of the young lady of the hundred households, they will definitely laugh at Jiuquan. ”
Ji Wushuang nodded, but the expression on his face still looked regretful.
Lei Wu looked at Ji Wushuang, and the vigilance in his heart gradually let go.
Originally, he had some doubts about why Ji Wushuang suddenly came to help, could it be that his purpose was the same as Jiang Nanming's family?
However, after this conversation with Ji Wushuang, he gradually relaxed his vigilance, perhaps because of Ji Wushuang's words, or because of Ji Wushuang's convincing temperament, in short, Ji Wushuang is the kind of person who makes you feel good as soon as you meet, and wants and is willing to trust him.
Lei Wu couldn't help but say, "Would you like to meet my young lady?" ”
As soon as the words came out, even he himself couldn't help but be startled, how could he take the initiative to tell the truth so easily?
He was nervous for a while, but unexpectedly, Ji Wushuang waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I still have to wait for a friend." ”
Lei Wu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, why?
This remote town seems to be very lively today, and so many strangers are coming one after another.
Ji Wushuang smiled: "Actually, the reason why I helped and repelled the people of the Jiangnan Ming family was also to repay this friend's favor." I forgot to tell you that he and your little master Tang are good friends. ”
Lei Wu was a little surprised, the little young master Tang Qiu was raised by him since he was a child, and he had been instilled by the young lady, full of hatred, silent Guaya, as if he was completely a person born for revenge.
Will such a person also have good friends?
He was a little hard to imagine.
Ji Wushuang seemed to be tired of standing at this time, looked left and right, and saw that Zhang Laoer's restaurant had an open door, and there were greasy benches inside, so he walked over.
Lei Wu looked at the spotless and luxurious brocade robe on his body, and hurriedly opened his mouth to stop him and said, "Don't, that's too dirty!"
God knows that Zhang Lao Er is such a person who doesn't like cleanliness, and there are usually no customers in the store, when was the last time the tables and stools in his shop were wiped down.
Ji Wushuang laughed and said, "It's okay. ”
He strode over, and Jiao Ke, who had been standing aside, hurriedly grabbed a few steps and spread a square scarf on the bench in front.
Ji Wushuang sat down without looking at it, looked up in the direction of Zhenkou, and muttered, "Calculate the time, they should be almost there." ”
Lei Wu also turned to look in the direction of the town, and the moment he turned around, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the old man in shabby clothes who had fallen asleep in the corner of the wall, and he didn't know when he was gone.
Perhaps, the old man woke up and saw the blood and corpses all over the ground, and fled in terror!
Lei Wu thought so.
