【Part 69】White Duck
Ji Huangao's idea was to give money to bribe the jailer in exchange for a white duck, and find someone to die on Zuo Guangdou's behalf. In this way, he could protect Zuo Guangdou without violating Dongchang's mission. But Ji Huangao's money was far from enough, so he had to
Sneak into the homes of wealthy people in Beijing late at night, steal treasures and exchange them for silver.
That night, I wandered around Dongcheng with some people in the black market to get information, and finally stole a pair of South China Sea Night Pearls from the home of a fifth-rank official. Ji Huangao hurried to the black market early in the morning to find the white duck (that is, the white duck).
Substitute for the deceased) and be sent to prison.
After traveling around the world for a long time, Ji is well aware that many black market stalls are connected with gambling stalls, and the largest and most secretive black market in the capital is the gambling stall run by Zhang Wulang, nicknamed Black and White Drum Shang.
.
Ji Huangao silently sneaked into Zhang Wulang's gambling stall and entered the secret room with three long and three paragraph codes to find someone.
The guards outside knew Ji well enough and let him in. When he turned into the secret room, he heard a conversation inside.
"Nothing can change the current situation."
"You are said to be the most powerful flea on the black and white drum in the capital. There must be a way."
"Even if I can change it, do you have the money?"
"How much does it cost? You can drive it. I'll figure it out."
"The six of you are not in the Criminal Department, but in the Beizhen Fusi. There is no way to change there, unless..."
"Unless what?"
Ji Fengyao looked over and saw that Wu Yiguo and Ji Fengyao were sitting inside negotiating with Zhang Wulang.
"Unless one person has ten thousand taels of gold."
"That's too much. Six people are worth 60,000 taels of gold. According to the one-to-eight exchange rate, that's 480,000 taels of official silver. We don't have that much money, aren't you taking advantage of it?"
"Master Yan, the total bribes taken by the few of them are almost one hundred thousand taels, and the market price is five times that. Besides, what you want me to do is not an ordinary thing. You found out that the nine tribes were killed in succession.
."
"I'll pay for it!" Ji Huangao came in from behind and threw the bag containing two luminous pearls on Zhang Wulang's table.
Wu Yiguo and Zhang Wulang were both shocked.
Ji Fengyao turned around and saw Ji Huangao coming in. He quickly stood up to greet him and called out "Dad!"
"There are two luminous pearls here. I know you have been thinking about this treasure for a long time. They are worth at least ten thousand taels of gold. In exchange for Zuo Guangdou, I will give you the money afterwards."
Zhang Wulang didn't know how to return, "This...can't be done"
"Master Ji, how can we only replace one person and save six?" Wu Yiguo said.
"I can't take care of other people, I take care of Zuo Guangdou."
"I know you have a special fate with Mr. Zuo. But the six adults are equally important."
Zhang Wulang looked at the pair of pearls and almost drooled. But although he had offered the price, he did not dare to accept it now because the matter was too important.
Ji Fengyao came up and pulled Ji Huangao away, "Dad, it turns out you also want to save people? Can we still get that much money?"
"Son, although we don't have to worry about food and clothing, we are not wealthy businessmen. We have tens of thousands of taels of silver, but if we want to get more than 400,000 taels, we will never have it."
"Then don't think about this road." Ji Fengyao pulled Wu Yiguo and Ji Huangao to leave.
"Wait." Ji Huangao walked to the table and took back the Night Pearl. Zhang Wulang swallowed his saliva, reluctant to leave this treasure.
When they walked to the road, there was a sudden heavy rain outside, and the three of them were all wet. Ji Fengyao grabbed Ji Huangao's sleeve and said, "Dad, let's save people together. With your help, we have a good chance of success."
Ji Huangao shook off Ji Fengyao's hand without saying a word and walked alone.
Wu Yiguo stood behind Ji Huangao and said to Ji Huangao's figure: "Master Ji, do you still remember the family motto hanging in the hall of your house?"
Ji Huangao turned around and stared at Wu Yiguo. "Why are you telling me this!"
"Repay kindness, repay hatred, and live an honest life. Who wrote these words to your family!"
"Uncle Wu, how do you know this passage?" Ji Fengyao asked curiously with his eyes wide open.
"My nephew, that was written by my ancestor of the Wu family to the Ji family a thousand years ago. Our two families have been friends for dozens of generations, but they only turned against each other decades ago."
Ji Fengyao knew about the Assassin family but not about the history of the Wu family. He had never heard Ji Huangao talk about it. When Ji Huangao told him the history of Baili Jixiang, he always concealed the history of the Wu Zixu family. But just now Wu Yiguo said
The words are indeed embedded on the plaque in the lobby. The plaque is pitch black and has been hanging there for hundreds of years. It has always been the ancestral motto of the Ji family, and it is also a phrase embedded in the hearts of descendants of all generations.
Wu Yiguo said: "Head Ji, our Wu family also has the same saying. Although the Ji family and the Wu family are of different origins, they have always adhered to the ideal of serving the country and the people. My daughter and I have received a favor from you, and this favor must be repaid."
, so I save the six adults not only for justice, but also to atone for your sins and return your love. Although it is not easy to enter the prison to save people, there are so many masters of Jinyiwei, but I will not give up this opportunity. Ancestor Family
The law tells me to live an honest life and die for those who know me. Wang Wenyan is my best friend. In order to protect Donglin's reputation, he died in prison in vain. I want to set things right for him, uphold justice, and rescue these adults."
Ji Huangao's eyes were as big as copper bells and he stared at Wu Yiguo. After saying this, he remembered the miserable situation of Zuo Guangdou being tortured in the imperial prison. He looked up at the sky and sighed, and he was so big again.
Roar, don't vomit, it won't make you happy.
"Dad, I think what Uncle Wu said is right. Why do we have to keep working for Dongchang? I have been with the Yu family these days. I think it is happy to be a hero and do justice. I think I have never felt our martial arts until today.
It comes in handy, our Ji family has the fish intestine sword and Baili Jixiang just for this moment." Ji Fengyao shook Ji Huangao's arm and said.
Wu Yiguo walked over in the heavy rain and held Ji Huangao's hand tightly. "Brother Ji, let the Wu family and the Ji family rebuild their old relationship. The Yu family and the Nie family are both here, but Baili Jixiang is missing."
After hearing these words, Ji Huangao trembled all over. Ji Huangao, who had always been cold and unsmiling, couldn't help but shed tears.
Like a lightning meteor piercing the night sky, Ji Huangao suddenly saw the sky clear, and his heart was very clear. He knew that he had to make a decision. This decision might be difficult, but he would not regret it. Only by taking the difficult road can he pick the most delicious food.
of fruit.
Wiping the tears on her face, Ji Hua Gao held Wu Yiguo's hand tightly, nodded and said: "Brother Wu, the Ji family is willing to follow the Wu family and live an open life."
"That's great, Uncle Wu. My dad also joins, so things are promising!"
"Brother Ji, it's great, it's great, it's great!" Wu Yiguo patted Ji Huangao's shoulder and said three times in a row, "It's great."
The three of them walked together in the heavy rain and returned to Tiandihui.
Ji Fengyao told his father on the road that he liked Yu Huan Chun. Although Ji Huan Gao was surprised, he could not hide his joy.
Looking at my biological son whom I haven’t seen for many days, he seems to be completely different from when he parted ways in Anhui. He is full of energy and confidence.
The encounter with Zuo Guangdou deeply affected Ji Huangao and inspired the kindness in Ji Huangao's heart. Similar things were not uncommon among assassin families in the past. Nie Zheng was willing to avenge Yan Zhongzi because he was grateful for his courtesy.
Zhuan Zhu, too, was inspired by Wu Zixu to assassinate Wang Liao for Prince Guang. Yu Rang avenged Uncle Zhi because he favored him.
The blood of the Assassin family's revenge has lasted two thousand years and is still as hot as fire.
The three returned to the club and met Nie Fu and Yu Huanchun. Everyone was very happy that Ji Huangao had returned. Nie Fu was especially excited. He felt that with such an experienced helper, his chance of success would be greatly increased, so he immediately pulled Ji Huangao.
Deduct the plan in detail.
Ji also suggested that although Tamate Luohua has no cure, its toxicity takes effect slowly, so it is better to use Higanxiang incense to take effect faster.
Ji Fengyao and Yu Huanchun pointed out that when they encountered the mixture of Yushou Luohua and Bianxiang incense, it would produce colorless and odorless signs, and the poisoned person would immediately become dizzy. However, Ji Huangao was worried that the mixture of poisons might be difficult to control and hurt his own people.
