Chapter Twenty-Four: The Loser

In the past few days, Ji Cheng was shocked by a piece of news.

The streets of the city are full of discussions.

"Hey, brother, did you hear what you said, it's unbelievable that the wicked man in our Jicheng actually got rid of the terrifying monster. ”

"Yes, I've heard about it too, but how is this possible, that kid is a good hand at eating, drinking, and robbing the people's daughters, going to be the master of our people, it's just too funny, isn't it possible that the Ji family is ready to let him inherit the position of the head of the family and wash his hands in advance?"

"Your analysis makes sense, I think it's possible, but it's still a little strange to think about it, after all, it's such an outrageous thing, there's no need to make it up, after all, as long as it's a person with a brain, he won't believe it. ”

"Could it be that the money they gave out is too rich, so rich that the well-informed city lord is also dazzled?"

"I think so"

...

Ji Wusheng was sitting in the living room at the moment, listening to the report of the newly promoted dog-legged little superson, and he was a little ridiculous for a while.

Although he played a certain role in this strange operation, but in the final battle, it was the credit of the Praetorian Guard, why did it fall on his head in the end?

He had already received the information of that battle, and he was also emotional for a while.

If he had stayed at the beginning, I am afraid that he would have been in a state of no bones.

No one thought that the monster would be so ferocious, and that it would blow itself up at the end.

The deputy leader of the Dark Guard was killed on the spot, hundreds of Praetorian Guards were killed, and thousands of Praetorian soldiers were injured.

This was the most serious loss of the Praetorian Guard in recent decades.

After Ji Wusheng drove his subordinates out of the room, he thought quietly.

But the more I think about it, the more headache I get.

It was as if a fog had re-obscured the building that had been somewhat clear.

Ji Wusheng originally thought that he was just a sacrifice, and he would be killed when the three years were up.

But now it seems that things are not what he imagined.

An ordinary sacrifice should not have such great power.

"Now let's test the bottom line, and see where the Gufeng Dynasty's bottom line is for me?"

A hint of discoloration flashed in Ji Wusheng's eyes.

"Just let me be a good loser!"

Soon there were a few crazy messages from Himejo.

The eldest young master of the Ji family began to spend money frantically.

Harvest the grain!

In fact, it is understandable to buy grain, after all, there is a severe drought in the northwest today, grain prices have skyrocketed, and hoarding grain is an instinctive behavior.

But on the basis of the current market price, it directly doubled, which made everyone stunned.

Soon the Himefu collected a large amount of grain, and the price of food in the market began to skyrocket.

No matter how much the price rises, Himefu buys it at double the price.

When the price arrived, even the wealthy couldn't afford it, everyone was dumbfounded.

At this time, the residents could not afford it, and the wealthy merchants could not sell it.

At this time, only Ji Fu was still collecting grain in an orderly manner.

The contradictions in the entire Jicheng began to ignite, although the residents of the city had already stocked up on some food in advance, but it was only for about a month.

All the big people in Ji City are watching the performance of the eldest young master of the Ji family with complex emotions.

Strangely, no one dared to come forward to hold them accountable.

Although Ji Wusheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the doubts in his heart were even worse.

Where is this the treatment of a sacrifice, this is simply a powerful person with a deep background that no one dares to mess with.

But if that's the case, then why is it still being sacrificed by blood three years later?

The more Ji Wusheng thought about it, the more strange it became, but the drifting of all fates stemmed from the lack of strength.

As long as the strength is strong, any conspiracy and trickery is just a passing thing.

Soon, the second wave of operations by the eldest young master of the Ji family caused controversy in Ji City.

It's just that this time it's the rich businessmen and the powerful who are worried, and the common people who are happy.

Ji Mansion actually exchanged martial arts, antique toys, etc. for food.

It is the so-called prosperous antiques, troubled gold times.

Today's Gufeng Dynasty is suffering from internal and external troubles, and the price of antiques has been pressed to the lowest point in history.

And the Gufeng Dynasty has a long history of existence for tens of thousands of years.

It can be said that every family retains some of the objects on their ancestors.

The eldest young master of the Ji family actually used the most expensive thing now to exchange it for the most worthless rags, which is undoubtedly a very stupid act.

"I'm going to be a good person!"

Ji Wusheng said to some people around him.

Although he is the future head of the family and can do whatever he wants, he still has to explain what he does for such an act that others seem to be a little demented.

Otherwise, you may be considered crazy.

But fortunately, this was in an era of strict class hierarchies, and his orders were carried out without compromise.

......

When the news of Jifu came out, the streets and alleys of the entire Jicheng began to be lively.

"Have you heard? The eldest young master of the Ji family has begun to collect antiques, and our ancestors have a way to get those things. ”

"It's really fake, could it be a scam?"

"Judging by his past behavior, this is most likely a trap!"

"Could it be that you want to take advantage of this opportunity to let us go to the Ji Mansion, and then take the opportunity to do something indescribable to us?"

The scene suddenly became cold.

"I heard that he wanted to be a good guy ... A weak voice rang out.

"Hahaha, how is this possible..."

......

In the courtyard of the Ji family, a noble lady is lazily lying in the light gauze tent, and through the light and shadow, it can be seen that her figure is unusually hot, like a beautiful snake showing a perfect curve.

A warrior in armor was kneeling on the ground and saying something.

"Okay, the young master is the master, don't let me hear this kind of questioning next time!" said Mrs. Blue Butterfly impatiently after hearing this.

"Yes!"

The man kneeling on the ground, although he is over middle age, can still see that he was very handsome when he was young.

Although he is older, not only does he not feel old, but he has the charm of a mature man.

When he heard Mrs. Blue Butterfly's words, his face looked at the ground with a hint of disbelief, and then there was an indescribable cold light in his eyes.

"Stand down!" Lady Blue Butterfly said coldly.

"Yes!" the middle-aged man retreated unwillingly.

When all the servants in the room retreated, the words of a strange woman sounded in the room where Blue Butterfly was the only one left.

"Madam, this is your husband's former confidant and retainer, why is he so unreasonable, aren't you afraid of him being cold?"

"Hmph, what a henchman, but a self-righteous fool who wants fame and fortune, he really thinks that he is the last pillar of the Ji family. ”

"You're right, but he's at least a good shield, isn't he? revealing your cards too early can have a big impact on our plans. ”

"Hmph, otherwise you think he'll survive to this day."

....

The whole Ji City was boiling because of Ji Fu's words, but most people were just waiting, after all, Ji Wusheng's previous reputation was too bad, and there were often many things to bully men and women.

But the outcasts don't care.

Among them, in a soup kitchen outside the city, a middle-aged man with a sallow face looked at his daughter-in-law's dying daughter in his arms, and his eyes showed a look of struggle.

When the middle-aged man saw it, he couldn't help choking up and said, "The family's token is so heavy, or if our Xin'er doesn't go to the doctor, then she won't die..."

"I... I... That Ji Dashao has a bad reputation, I'm afraid..."The middle-aged man said uneasily.

"Forget my father, that's the hope of our family's rise, and we can't cut off the family's hope for Xin'er... Lan'er... Xin'er is fortunate to be your child in this life, and it is already a blessing for three lives..."

As if awakened by the conversation between her parents, a girl raised her thin little hand and comforted her father softly.

"No, Xin'er, I'm sorry for you for my father, there is no family hope, because you are my hope. Hearing his child's sensible words, he couldn't help but feel pain anymore.

But then he stood up firmly, patted the child's dirty braids, and went into the city without hesitation.

Located in the center of Ji City, Ji Mansion is a manor covering an area of thousands of hectares, with more than tens of thousands of houses, guards and servants and slaves with a population of tens of thousands, and is the first wealthy family in the city.

It is rumored that the whole Ji City was just a barren land before, but after the Ji family moved in, it gradually became popular, and after thousands of years of development, it finally formed a city.

However, these were all rumors, and Ji Wusheng did not find this when he was looking through the family collection, which made him very puzzled.

Because I saw the strange iron corpse some time ago, I have a new curiosity about the monster that was sealed in the Fengzhen Dynasty.

I wanted to find some clues from the family, but I didn't expect that I still found nothing.

But it's not without gains.

Because the history of the Ji family in the family is very vague, as if it has been erased by life.

No clue is the biggest clue, indicating that something big must have happened in the history of the Ji family.

Just as Ji Wusheng was concentrating on reading books in the study, there was a knock at the door.

After hearing the housekeeper's explanation, Ji Wusheng was overjoyed, and someone finally came to the door, although this time was much later than he expected.
