Ji Family Meeting Hall.

After Ji Qingyu, the head of the Ji family, vomited blood and collapsed, the elders of the Ji family divided into two parties and began to quarrel.

One party believed that the Ji family wanted to organize forces to capture Ji Lianqi.

Lin Fangfang believes that there are too many people who have taken refuge with Ji Lianqi, and if they use their strength to fight him fiercely, both sides will suffer, and the Li family will be advantaged by then, and they may be defeated by the Li family.

By that time, they will all be sinners of the Ji family.

Finally, Ji Xinyuan, the most virtuous and respected person, picked up the dry tobacco pole, knocked it on the table, and said a compromise.

"Now that the head of the family has fallen ill and Ji Lianqi's junior is coming fiercely, we can no longer fight among ourselves. I suggest mobilizing some people to organize the existing forces. At least we must ensure our safety, even if there is a fight.

Even if we don’t win, we still have chips in hand and can talk to Ji Lianqi.”

Ji Xinyuan picked up the tobacco stick again, put it into his mouth, took a deep breath, and blew out a large smoke ring.

Looking around, he saw a serious expression on his old and withered face.

"Don't think about fighting Ji Lianqi to the end. That's unrealistic. No matter what, this is an internal matter of our Ji family. We are the old people of the Ji family. We should learn to put the overall situation first. No matter who is the head of the family or who is in charge.

Power, as long as it's still the Ji family, it's easy to talk about... If the meat rots in your own pot, it's still your own meat. As long as it's given to others, as long as the Ji family doesn't decline, what are you afraid of?"

"On the other hand, if the Ji family were to fall into ruin, the wealth and splendor of the rest of us would never be available again, and we might be killed or imprisoned."

After Ji Xinyuan finished speaking, everyone around him fell into deep thought, and everyone was weighing their own interests and gains.

Everyone who can appear here is a prominent figure in the Ji family. It is impossible for any of them to be stupid or have low emotional intelligence and lack of ability. They have long been dismissed as rice bugs who only eat and do not work, and it is impossible to control even a little bit.

Power.

"Uncle Yuan, you are right, I listen to you, go and integrate the troops now, block the gate, and try to talk to Ji Lianqi."

"I will go with you."

"Go together, go together."

After thinking about it for a while, someone quickly responded. The person who responded was Ji Hongbao, who held real power. He looked very festive, with a chubby face and a pair of small eyes that purred in his eye sockets.

But the shrewdness revealed in the eyes cannot be hidden in many cases.

With Ji Hongbao taking the lead, the rest of the people agreed to the plan one after another.

Since fighting is not an option and escape is not an option, the best way is to seize the bargaining chip and talk to Ji Lianqi.

We are all businessmen, so what's the point of fighting and killing? Instead, bargaining and negotiation are their true calling.

As for how the head of the house and his family would deal with it, everyone had a tacit understanding and did not mention it.

It is true that many of them are close confidants of the family head and have received great favor from him.

But is the current head of the family still the same head? The situation has changed dramatically.

The current head of the family is suffering from hemoptysis. Who knows how long he can live? He never knows when he will collapse and burp.

Death is like a light going out. No matter how good the relationship was in the past, it will not last long in front of a businessman.

"Let's go, let's go with Ji Hongbao."

"When the time comes, Ji Hongbao, you are responsible for talking to that guy Ji Lianqi."

"Let's talk, am I still afraid of him? I hugged Ji Lianqi when he was a child, and that boy peed all over me." Ji Hongbao stared.

"That was when I was a child, and now, people will grow up."

"So what if I grow up? My wings are hardened. They are also Ji's family. They are all my own family. How can I drive out and kill all my own family members? What hatred do we have with that kid? It is the head of the family who excludes him, not us." Ji Hongbao snorted coldly.

There was a sound.

"Yes, yes, everything you said is right. Let's stop lingering here and leave quickly, otherwise it will be too late. You don't want to be tied up by that kid and talk to him again, do you? By then, we will still have a conversation.

Is it necessary?"

"Let's go, stop talking nonsense!"

Ji Hongbao and others chatted for a few words and then left in a hurry. In the end, even Ji Xinyuan, the most respected person, left together.

Before the arrival of Ji Lianqi's army, we must first finish what we can and take advantage of the opportunity to transfer the treasures we can. When the last resort comes, we have to live.

Ji Lianqi had already seen the gate of Ji's residence from a distance.

After a hundred years of development, the Ji family has developed into a town-like place, and it is also a very large town.

The outer gate is built very tall and grand, and is surrounded by horses and ropes.

Ji Lianqi took a deep breath, not out of fear, but out of excitement.

As the saying goes, returning home in rich clothes refers to his current state of mind.

As for killing Ji Lianyin, he felt very proud. If he killed Ji Lianyin at a critical moment, how would he have the chance to succeed?

"Young Master Jiang, Governor Qiu, we are already here. In front of us is the Ji family's residence. This is the territory that has been occupied by the elite for hundreds of years." Ji Lianqi narrowed his eyes.

"Majestic and majestic, it's a country within a country." Qiu Muliang sneered. He had never been interested in the arrogance of a local tyrant like this.

He also has a strong desire for control. Since he is under the rule of Sixiang City, how could he allow such a state within a state to exist?

At this moment, he was already thinking about how to deal with such powerful merchants.

"Chief Qiu is joking. The Ji family are loyal ministers of the imperial court. They will never become a country within a country." Ji Lianqi could only laugh along with him. He couldn't get angry even if he wanted to. There was nothing he could do about it. This was the Ji family in the first place.

It's not done right. No court would be alert to this situation.

Unless the Ji family wants to provoke the imperial court, it is impossible to truly confront the imperial court.

"We'll see, Ji Lianqi, it's good for you to be the head of the family." Qiu Muliang said expressionlessly.

"Okay, let's talk about this later. Sheriff Qiu, Ji Lianqi, let's take care of the things in front of us first," Zi Yan said.

As soon as Zi Yan opened her mouth, Qiu Muliang and Ji Lianqi stopped talking at the same time, but turned their attention to the gate and city wall ahead.

At this time, the city wall was already full of people, all wearing helmets and armor, and they were obviously hostile.

Sitting on the front wall was a fat man covered in armor, with only one pair of eyes exposed. He looked timid and afraid of death, but he was wounded by someone else's secret arrow.

"Ji Lianqi, what on earth do you want to do? Why did you kill Ji Lianyin?"
