Chapter 5479 Wait and see
Ji family meeting hall.
After the head of the Ji family, Ji Qingyu, vomited blood and collapsed, the elders of the Ji family divided into two parties and began to quarrel.
One side believes that the Ji family needs to organize forces to capture that Ji Lianqi.
Lin Fangfang believes that there are too many people who have taken refuge with Ji Lianqi. If he uses his strength to fight with him, 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.
In the end, 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 people can no longer fight among ourselves. I suggest that we mobilize some people to organize the existing forces, and at least ensure that we Even if he doesn't win, he still has a bargaining chip to talk to Ji Lianqi."
Ji Xinyuan picked up the tobacco stick again, put it in his mouth, took a deep breath, and exhaled a large puff of smoke. lock up.
Looking around, there was a serious expression on some old and withered faces.
"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 have learned to put the overall situation first. No matter who is the head of the family or who is in charge. Power is easy to discuss as long as the Ji family remains... If the meat rots in one's own pot, it is still one's own meat. As long as it is given to other people's families, as long as the Ji family does not decline, you What else are you afraid of?”
“On the other hand, if the Ji family is ruined and our lives are ruined, it is absolutely impossible for us to have the wealth and splendor again, and we may be killed or imprisoned. "
After Ji Xinyuan finished speaking, everyone around him fell into deep thought, and everyone was weighing their own interests and losses.
Everyone who can appear here is a prominent figure in the Ji family. It is impossible for them to be idiots or those with low emotional intelligence and lack of ability. They have long been dismissed as rice bugs who only eat and do not work. It would be impossible to control even a tiny bit of 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'll 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 had real power. This person looks very festive, with a chubby face and a pair of small eyes that wander in the 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, what’s the point of fighting and killing? It's bargaining and negotiation, that's their specialty.
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 master and have received great favor from him.
But is the current head of the family still the same head? Things have 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 lamp 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 boy Ji Lianqi.”
“Let’s talk, I will Are you still afraid of him? I hugged Ji Lianqi when he was a child, and that kid even peed on 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 the Ji family. They are all my own family members. How can we drive away all my own family members and kill them all? What hatred do we have with that kid? It is the head of the family who excludes him, not Us." Ji Hongbao snorted coldly.
"Yes, yes, everything you said is right, let's stop nagging 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? When we get there Sometimes, we still talk Is it necessary?”
“Let’s stop talking nonsense!”
Ji Hongbao and the others left in a hurry, and finally even the most respected Ji Xinyuan left together. .
Before the arrival of Ji Lianqi's army, he had to finish what he could, and take advantage of the opportunity to move the treasures that could be transferred. When the last resort came, he had 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. This was not fear, but excitement.
As the saying goes, returning home in fine 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. How come the elite has occupied this territory for hundreds of years." Ji Lianqi narrowed his eyes.
"Majestic and majestic, a country within a country." Qiu Muliang sneered. He had never been interested in the tyranny of a local tyrant like this.
He also has a strong desire for control. Since he is under the rule of Sixiang City, how can he allow the existence of such a country within a country.
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, and there was nothing he could do about it. , this is what the Ji family did wrong, and no one in the court would not be vigilant when they discovered 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, and instead 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?"
The fat man picked up the loudspeaker in his hand and put it to his mouth and shouted, and the sound really spread very far Far.
