Ji Tang

Chapter 1097 Sudden surprise!
Today, all Ji's managers or responsible persons in Chang'an came to Ji's manor outside the city.

"Old money!"

"What exactly happened? You woke us up in the middle of the night?"

Lao Zheng, the former butler of the Ji family.

When the family was separated, his eldest son followed him to the south with his wife and children, and from now on he was regarded as the second son.Now they have settled down in the south and wrote that they are developing well.

He is now a worshiper of the Ji family. Apart from the necessary supervision of various industries, he has nothing to do but drink tea and walk with some old people. His life is very comfortable.

But last night, when the eldest son sent someone to wake him up, he realized something was wrong, but he didn't know what it was, so he looked worried.

"I do not know either!"

Lao Qian frowned. He was also wondering now. Logically speaking, nothing could happen to Ji's family now?
But he had a bad premonition, just like when the family leader went to Mobei.

"Okay, everyone, stop guessing. When the mistress comes, we will know everything."

Lao Lin has now withdrawn. He made the same choice as Lao Zheng, which was to send his son out to separate the family.He can guess a little bit about the head of the family's thoughts, and the people who have been separated have been doing well in recent years, even better than in Chang'an.

"The madam and the eldest son are here!"

Just when everyone was talking about it, someone suddenly said.

I saw You Ning leading Ji Run silently all the way to the lobby, and everyone hurriedly saluted.

"I'll wait to see my mistress!"

"Meet the eldest son!"

You Ning waved his sleeves and sat on the left side of the main seat, while Ji Run was behind his mother.The main seat was empty.

Everyone understands that it is the position of the head of the family. Even the eldest son cannot do it now. This is the rule!

"Sit everyone!"

"Thank you madam!"

Everyone sat down one after another, each looked at each other, and saw the solemn look in each other's eyes.In the past, young masters rarely attended such gatherings, and even if they did, they would mostly sit in on them.

But today.
Seeing the eldest son in military uniform standing there with a horizontal sword in his hand, they suddenly became restless!
You Ning looked around below. These people are the backbone of the Ji family, and they are seniors in various fields. It can be said that they are indispensable for the Ji family to be where it is today!
After getting along with each other for these years, we have already become familiar with who the other person is. With the passage of time, those who can stay now are trustworthy. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are Ji's die-hard loyalists.

"Everyone!"

A trace of sadness flashed in You Ning's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

Glancing at Ji Lu who was already guarding the door, she breathed a sigh of relief, but her next words almost made everyone jump out of their wits.

"Something happened to the head of the Ji family!"

Boom~
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in disbelief at first, and suddenly you looked up at You Ning, who was expressionless!

"lady!"

Old Zheng stepped forward and said with a slight trembling: "Madam, why do you say this?"

"The master of the house"

Everyone stood up and stared at the woman in charge. If this person was not the mistress, and if someone else said this today, they would never leave the room.

Something happened to the owner?

This is no joke!

Who is the head of the family?That was the person who built the Ji family from scratch to a level comparable to the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes. It took thousands of years for an outstanding person to emerge.

Will something happen to him?This joke is not funny at all!
Ji Run, who had always been a transparent person, suddenly said: "I got the news yesterday that my father..."

Holding back the grief in his heart, he said with red eyes: "My legs are disabled!"

Quiet, deathly quiet, you could hear a needle drop in the lobby for a while!

"Disabled?"

Lao Zheng looked at the eldest son in disbelief, and he was definitely not the son of the head of the family. Did he think that he was crazy?

"Father, when he was fighting against the giant cannibals, he was hit by the mast that suddenly fell down on the ship. If it weren't for his personal guards fighting to protect him, he would have been hit."

Pfft!
Lao Qian and many people fainted immediately after hearing the bad news. Others were dumbfounded. For a while, there was a lot of commotion in the lobby, and everything was in chaos.

boom!
You Ning slapped the table and glared at everyone: "Everyone, please be quiet!"

Then someone carried the fainted old man down for treatment, then looked back at everyone and said, "Look at what you are like now? You are all old people of the Ji family, and now you are so messed up?"

"lady!"

Old Lin woke up faintly, pushed away the person who was supporting him, stood up slightly tremblingly, looked directly at You Ning and said: "Madam, can you confirm the news about the head of the family?"

You Ning nodded silently, and now everyone could no longer suppress the grief in their hearts!
"Big Eater"

"Damn them!"

Everyone gritted their teeth. No matter what happened before, even if the head of the family fought with the big cannibal, they could not do anything to the big cannibal in Chang'an.

Even if the eldest son was assassinated, they thought it was just the work of the cannibal spies and had nothing to do with the merchants.

But now, they don't care about that much.

They want to kill all the cannibals at this time, businessmen?What happened to the businessman?
However, now is not the time to think about this.None of the people here are fools. The head of the house was in trouble and his legs were disabled.If word of this gets out, I'm afraid some people who can't stand Ji will be unable to help but take action.

It is foreseeable that the head of the family is unlikely to enter the court in the future.

"Ma'am, what do you need us to do now?"

Lao Lin calmed down after the initial panic. He has been working hard for most of his life. What storms have he not seen?

It is undeniable that this incident is probably the most dangerous one for Ji.But are they afraid?

Afraid, of course they are afraid!
But is it useful?

It’s useless. Not only is it useless, it will also make some people take advantage of it!

The only way now is that whoever dares to come forward must be attacked with thunderous force.There must be no weakness at all!
"Yes, madam, what do you need us to do? Although we are old, we have not lost our courage. These years have been ups and downs, what kind of big battles have we not seen?"

"As much as you order!"

Everyone else also asked for help, and no one hesitated at all!
"it is good!"

You Ning said loudly.

"I am ordering everyone in Chang'an to stop anyone who dares to cause trouble from now on. If you dare to take action at this time, then please leave me alone!"

You Ning gritted his teeth and said: "Tell the people below that the Ji family is now in a difficult time. But it is not yet life and death. My husband is disabled, but he is still alive. As long as he is alive, then the foundation of my Ji family will be there."

"The sky won't fall!" "No!"

After everyone left, You Ning rubbed his forehead.When he saw Ji Lu coming in, he said: "Divide the people at home into two groups, some stay in Zhuangzi, and some go to Chang'an."

"Place more people around these children and never let anything happen to them!"

"mother!"

Hearing her mother's words, Ji Run wanted to speak but was forced back by her mother's eyes.

"I understand, it will be arranged."

Ji Lu nodded, which he did as soon as he learned the news.

Last night, the eldest lady left with Dahuang, and he also sent people to follow.Nothing can happen to the family at this time, not to anyone!

"Ok!"

After waiting for a while, You Ning said again: "I'll leave the safety of our home to you, and we'll discuss other matters when my husband comes back."

There is something strange in Chang'an today!
The eyes of everyone who passed by the Duke of Xi's Mansion would always drift to that side. Some were sympathetic, some were regretful, and some were gloating about the misfortune and had no good intentions!

But no one had the guts to actually take action.Yesterday, someone was causing trouble in a store. Before anyone could watch the commotion, someone's leg was broken and thrown out.

After the Chang'an order came, one person surrendered, saying that he had accidentally done something serious and was willing to plead guilty and obey the law.

Unexpectedly, this time, there have been many incidents of causing trouble in Ji's shop in Chang'an in the past few days, but without exception, their legs were broken and thrown out.

Among them was a legitimate son of a marquis.

Just when I was thinking that this man would go to the Duke of Nie for an explanation, there was no movement.Even the other party didn't even dare to fart.

Because someone blocked the door of his house, everyone who came out was beaten back.

This matter caused such a big fuss that someone even read a copy of Ji Song's book in the court.But what is disappointing is that neither the emperor nor the court officials took a position.

In the end, he was excused by the fact that the Duke of Xi was absent and his wife was ignorant.

Of course, such a verdict is not satisfactory, so some people are trying to make the matter bigger.However, before the man left the palace, three of his teeth were knocked out by the devil Cheng Yaojin.

Now some people are honest, but some are unwilling to do so.

The news that Ji Song was disabled somehow got out, and now some people couldn't sit still.Even some people in the court began to inquire about information from each other.

The impact of this incident is too great, people's hearts are floating, and some people have already begun to look for a way out.In their view, a disabled person has greatly lost the possibility of competing for the court.

The reason why they relied on Duke Xi before was mainly because of his promising future.With his achievements and the royal family's trust in him, even if he is not the prime minister, he will be an important boss in the Tang Dynasty in the future.By following this person, they can get more resources.

But now, why is a disabled person worthy of their service?

Still feeling a little ashamed, I personally visited Ji's family, gave her some gifts, and said some irrelevant words.Everyone knew what it meant. Although Ji Run was unhappy when receiving everyone, he could only endure it. After all, everyone has his own ambitions.

But some people are hated and despised.

Not only did he immediately turn his back on other people, he even went so far as to slander Duke Xi. He simply wanted to tear his face apart, regardless of any skin.

But no matter what, although the Ji family seems to be in turmoil, they remain firm under the leadership of You Ning.

At this time, everyone discovered that the wife of Duke Tan was not a simple character.Ji's situation did not cause any disturbance at all, and her hatred for her methods also made many people recognize her again.

Under this disturbance, Ji Song and his party finally passed Tongguan.

Ji Song sat on the carriage all the way, and everyone stopped to rest that day.

Ji Song, who was lifted off the carriage, was sitting in a wheelchair. This place had entered the Guanzhong territory. The road was wide and flat. Even if he was alone, he could not control the wheelchair.

He came to the edge of the Yellow River and looked at the turbid river. He didn't know what to think about?
Suddenly, there was movement in the grass. Ji Song was startled and stretched out towards the side of the wheelchair without leaving a trace. There was a repeating crossbow there. Even if he encountered a fierce beast, he had the strength to fight it.

"Wang!"

A barking sound came, and Ji Song stopped his hand and stared dumbly at a big yellow dog whose whole body was covered in weeds.

"rhubarb?"

Dahuang was also confused at this time, having been taken out of the city by the kitten before.But the kitten, who had never traveled far, got lost before he left Chang'an for thirty miles.

If Dahuang hadn't taken her around, she might not even know where she is now!

Yesterday they arrived at Tongguan, and Mao Mao had already fallen asleep in the inn due to exhaustion.Poor Rhubarb had nothing to eat and had to find food by himself.This made Liu Laoer, who had been following them, helpless.

But Brother Lu told them that they would never show up unless they were in danger.

So Dahuang had no choice but to find food early in the morning, but the place was densely populated and there wasn't much food in the wild.He searched around and found it somehow.

But as soon as I walked out of the grass, I saw a guy who looked very much like the owner?

However, the owner should be standing, so why is he sitting on a strange thing?Where did this thing seem to be added?
One person and one dog stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes, which turned out to be particularly interesting!
It tilted its head and reluctantly stepped forward to smell it. Suddenly, his eyes lit up!Especially when the other party called it, it confirmed that it was not dreaming!

Pfft!
Ji Song was in tragedy, seeing Da Huang rushing towards him like a mad dog.Before he could react, he was thrown to the ground by everyone including the people sitting in their chairs.

The excited Rhubarb rubbed hard in his arms, and when it was over, he didn't forget to slap his master's face a few times.Normally he would have pushed her away.But now, he can only let the other party do whatever he wants!

The guards were shocked when they heard the movement. When they saw the owner of the house being thrown to the ground by a ferocious beast, they almost died of fright.Subconsciously he was about to shoot at the opponent, but someone stopped him!
"You are crazy, the chief manager will take care of him."

But he soon discovered something was wrong. It turned out that it was Zhang Zhang who stopped him.How could he, who had grown up in Zhuangzi, not know rhubarb?

"Okay, put the knives away!"

"That's rhubarb!"

Everyone was stunned. Many people knew that the chief steward had a psychic yellow dog.But it’s all just heard!

Zhang Zhang looked at Dahuang getting more and more outrageous, and the head of the family was lying on the ground helplessly, almost bursting into laughter.After the rhubarb was almost done, he stepped forward and touched the rhubarb.

"Wang!"

"roar~"

Rhubarb suddenly felt someone touching it. He was stunned for a moment, and then bit the person without hesitation, which shocked Zhang Zhang.

"rhubarb!"

Ji Song saw something was wrong and shouted quickly.
Hearing his master's voice, Dahuang stopped, walked to his master's side and slowly knelt on the ground, looking at Zhang Zhang warily.

"What are you doing standing still? Why don't you help me up quickly!"

Ji Song said with some shame and anger.

After saying that, he punched Dahuang with his fist. This guy didn't know what he was eating just now, but the fishy smell in his mouth made him almost die of being smoked to death because he was a bit mysophobic.

Dahuang turned to look at the owner in confusion, thinking that the owner was playing with him, so he tried to move the dog's head closer.This frightened Ji Song so much that he quickly pushed away its foul mouth.
