"I've checked, and the two Xuanwu Wei street pipes who did it were Yin He and the desolate slave he brought with him, called Red Bear. ”

In the high-rise study of Ji's mansion, Wen Yun told Ji Hou who was standing by the window looking into the distance, and recounted this matter in a very calm tone, and then said: "As for Ji Hong, Ji Gong, and Ji Zheng, they went to the incense shop called 'Baixiangtang' to buy spices, candles and other sundries, for the ancestor worship ceremony. ”

Ji Hou didn't look back, just said lightly: "Who sent them?"

Wen Yun bowed slightly and said, "It's me." ”

Ji Hou withdrew his gaze from afar, turned around and glanced at Wen Yun, and then walked to the desk and asked, "Why?"

Wen Yun said: "Ji Hong came to me and said a few times that he must take this errand, but I refused twice, and the third time, he found the second son to help him talk, and I promised him." Saying that, he said solemnly: "This matter is my fault, please punish the head of the family." ”

Ji Hou frowned and said, "You are indeed at fault, Ji Hong's guys are arrogant and greedy, they want to rely on our Ji family's reputation every day to reap benefits, and they are swaggering outside, why do you agree to them?"

Wen Yun was silent and had no words of defense.

Ji Hou looked at him and said lightly: "I know you, with your shrewdness, there should be no such mistake in this matter, so the root cause of this is probably still in the second child, right? Let me guess, it must have been him who found you in private, blocked you in the house, and then scolded you loudly, saying some ugly and damaging words, for example, saying that this is my Ji family's property, what you don't give is the intention to corrupt black money, or if you don't give it, you just don't give him the face of the Ji family's sister-in-law, probably Yunyun who wants to rebel." So you have to hand over this errand to Ji Hong and them, right?"

Wen Yun's body was shocked, and he looked up at Ji Hou in astonishment, with a look of surprise and disbelief in his eyes, and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but then he stopped talking, and finally didn't speak.

Ji Hou saw his expression in his eyes, his face became more and more ugly, he sneered, and said: "This little beast, on weekdays, he relies on his mother's pampering to do nonsense, and after being reprimanded by me a few times before he is a little more honest, and now he is mixed with those side villains, it seems that he can't learn well anyway!"

Wen Yun sighed and said, "The head of the family, the second son is still young after all, and he is not deep in the world, maybe if someone deliberately bewitches, it is inevitable that he will make mistakes......

Ji Hou waved his hand, interrupted Wen Yun's words, and said with a cold face: "Don't mention the thing that doesn't grow anymore." ”

Wen Yun immediately closed his mouth.

Ji Hou pondered for a while, the anger on his face gradually faded, and he regained his calm expression, and said: "Ji Hong and the others insist on begging for an errand to buy spices from you, and even don't hesitate to bring the second child to be a lobbyist to put pressure on you, naturally it will not be a loyal return to the Ji family, most of them are still looking at the oil and water here." Well, when he brought the second unsuccessful guy as a lobbyist, most of them also made a promise, and in the end, he would share a part of the money he gained. ”

Wen Yun smiled bitterly, knowing that the head of the family in front of him was intelligent, shrewd and capable, and he had worked hard all the way to the top, and he was very knowledgeable about the world, and it was almost impossible for these little tricks to hide from him, so he had no interest in covering up for the people below, so he just nodded silently, even if he said that he actually agreed with the opinion of the head of the family.

Ji Hou sneered: "My Ji family has a big business, but as a result, these people are only staring at this insignificant amount of oil and water, which is really a waste." And what's worse is that even if you want to be greedy for money, these wastes actually got a bunch of shitty things, were beaten on the street, and were detained, which is simply a loss of face for my Ji family. What the hell is going on in this matter, have you found out?"

Wen Yun cleared his throat, with a hint of embarrassment on his face, but he still continued, and said: "The matter should be that Ji Hong and the others went to a few spice shops separately to inquire about the price, and wanted to discuss with the shop owner to lower the price and make a profit." Among several shops, Baixiangtang is an old shop, the best things, and the price is moderate, Ji Hong found this boss, and asked people to reduce the price by 70%, and at the same time, the store also packed it all, and then hired someone to send it to Ji's mansion. ”

Ji Hou's face sank again, Wen Yun secretly glanced at him, and continued: "This condition is too much...... Harsh, the boss of Baixiangtang was unwilling, and the two sides quarreled. In the middle of this, Ji Hong made his identity clear and said that he bought it for the Ji family, and if you don't sell it, you will look down on Elder Ji Houji. ”

Ji Hou's face suddenly darkened.

Wen Yun said again: "The boss of Baixiangtang refused to agree, saying that Elder Ji came over in person, and there was no such thing in this business, and then the two sides quarreled so badly that Ji Hong wanted to do it, but when his hands and feet were entangled, he was probably pushed by the boss and fell on the ground." ”

"Rubbish!" Ji Hou scolded.

Wen Yun didn't hear it, and continued: "Ji Hong ran out, turned around and called Ji Gong and Ji Zheng, and the three of them rushed to the Baixiangtang shop together, and then arrested the boss and bullied him on the street, punched and kicked him, and the matter became big, and then he met Yin He who was patrolling the street, and then he was knocked down and detained. ”

Ji Hou's face was extremely ugly, he stood up, walked back and forth a few times, turned back to Wen Yun and said angrily: "These wastes, even bullying good people, do not do a decent job, in the name of my Ji clan, they show their teeth and claws, and as a result, they are slapped in the face in the street, what is the use! Under my Ji clan, are all this kind of people now?"

Wen Yun persuaded: "Don't be angry, these are just one or two small guys, they can't be on the stage, and they can't damage the overall situation." ”

Ji Hou glanced at him, and suddenly said: "Speaking of which, you should tell me, do you think that among the younger generation of my Ji family, which one of the descendants and collaterals is particularly outstanding and can inherit and carry forward my Ji family business in the future?"

Wen Yun was taken aback and said, "This, how dare your subordinates talk about this?"

Ji Hou snorted and said, "There are only you and me here, you can just say it." ”

Wen Yun frowned and pondered, his eyes flashed, but he still didn't speak for a long time, and at the end, he laughed dryly and said, "That...... Miss Honglian has been the high priest of the Divine Sect since she was a child, and she is said to be gifted in witchcraft, and Miss herself is even more intelligent and wise, and she will become a great weapon in the future. ”

Ji Hou sighed, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Except for Red Lotus, can't even you say that there is a second talent that can be cultivated?"

Wen Yun took a deep breath, took two steps forward, showed sincerity on his face, and said to Ji Hou: "Family Master, please forgive Wen Yun for being blunt." Our Ji family can have today's Xuanhe foundation, almost all of them are the country laid by you, such an achievement, non-talented people can not do it. To be honest, it's not surprising that you've been a once-in-a-century wizard yourself, and that no one else can compare to you. As for the requirement that you just said that we must carry forward the foundation, it is indeed too difficult, and it is extremely difficult to maintain the current situation. ”

Ji Hou was silent for a long time, and then sighed, his expression was a little gloomy, and said: "It's a pity that the red lotus is not a man's body, otherwise why should I bother with these things." ”

Wen Yun didn't dare to answer, and after a while, Ji Hou waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it's all self-inflicted troubles when you talk too much, let's take one step at a time." Tell me about the rest of the story. ”

Wen Yun cheered up a little, and then told Ji Hou about the process of Ji Hou arriving at the Yinhe Red Bear, the conflict between the two sides, and finally because the Red Bear was too strong, Ji Hong and the others were defeated with almost no power to fight back.

Ji Hou didn't seem to be too interested in what happened in the middle, but suddenly asked at the end, "Yin He, he actually remembers the days of ancestor worship of our Ji family?"

Wen Yun nodded and said, "He said it in public." ”

Ji Hou nodded slowly, thoughtful, and then asked, "What's the family crest on that carriage?"

Wen Yun said: "This is what Yin He said wrongly, this carriage was from the family, and the pattern on the family crest is not wrong." ”

Ji Hou suddenly laughed and said, "This is what the little guy deliberately said wrong, is he saving face for our Ji family?"

Wen Yun thought about it, laughed, and said, "After all, now that our Ji clan is in its heyday, he probably doesn't want to really tear his face with us." ”

Ji Hou pondered for a moment and said, "That's it, you take my name post, go to see the black turtle of Xuanwuwei, tell him about it, and then ask those three wastes back, don't keep embarrassing me over there." ”

Wen Yun agreed, then glanced at the family master again, and asked softly, "Then do we still want to investigate this matter?"

Ji Hou's face sank, and he said coldly: "The ancestor worship ceremony is about to begin, but someone in the family is doing this kind of outside, and they are still holding on to it, do they want the people of the whole holy city to see my Ji Hou's jokes? ”

"Yes. ”

"Also, after I bring people back, I will pass on my orders that these three people will not be allowed to participate in the worship of their ancestors. Ji Hou said with a cold face, "And the second child, also circle me and be grounded for half a year." ”

Wen Yun nodded and agreed.

It's just that Ji Hou's words didn't end there, he looked up at Wen Yun and said, "After the ancestor worship ceremony, you find an opportunity to arrange for me to go over to see this Yin River." ”

Wen Yun was taken aback, and said in amazement: "Family master, you are ......"

Ji Hou said lightly: "Anyway, those people are still surnamed Ji after all, even if he looks like he is maintaining Ji's reputation, but the people who should know about it in the future will always know, and my face will still be swept away in the end." ”

"Those wastes are useless, so they should naturally be punished, but this person named Yin He has the courage to intervene sideways, I want to see what he is capable of?"

When he said this, Ji Hou's face had completely calmed down, without the slightest hint of joy and anger, and it looked calm as water, only the gaze in a pair of eyes flickered slightly, which seemed to be like an unfathomable abyss.
