The next day, Ji Xian finally followed Zi Chan’s wishes and drove Shu Niu out of Ji’s house.
There’s nothing to say. This is Zichan’s bottom line, and it’s also his final concession.
As a result, Shu Niu, who was once the arrogant and powerful figure in the Ji clan, collapsed the family power that he had maintained for many years.
I don’t know how many members of the Ji clan were implicated, and their business names that originally belonged to them were taken back by Ji Xian. Naturally, a strong wind of cleansing blew up within the entire Ji clan.
This is not what Ji Xian wants to see. As a merchant family, the most important thing is to be harmonious and generate wealth, and the most taboo is such internal friction.
But he knew that if he were to be merciful again this time, he would be completely at odds with the Zheng Guo Temple headed by Zichan. From then on, everything that Ji Clan did in Zheng Guo would also be implicated because of this incident.<
/p>
However, if you think about it again, is it not a good thing for Ji Xian to clean up the family on such a scale? At least he is still able to control the current chaos, at least he has not let it get out of control.
Only then did I suddenly wake up.
Zheng Yi, which was originally a little dull due to the silence in the city, suddenly became lively again because of Ji's family affairs.
Nowadays, almost everyone in the streets knows that things are going to change inside the Ji clan.
But under such circumstances, Li Ran seemed surprisingly calm. He did not stay at Ji's house, but chose to stay away from right and wrong and lived in another courtyard with Ji Le.
"Ms. sir, is my father's attack too harsh this time?"
Ji Le is a member of the Ji family, how can he not think about the Ji family?
It is not an exaggeration to say that Ji Xian’s radical clean-up of the family this time is earth-shaking for the Ji family.
Originally, those tribesmen who were too deeply involved with Shu Niu, although they were part of Shu Niu's party, were able to maintain the operation of the Ji clan's industry there.
Now that so many people have been cleared at once and so many vacancies have been left, many businesses within the Ji clan have inevitably been paralyzed for a while.
"Hey, if it wasn't like this, why would it be so explicit?"
"My father-in-law, although his attack this time is a bit harsh, if we don't clean up the gang members left behind by Shu Niu, then these people may not stop here in the future. And sooner or later, the Ji clan will be dragged away by them.
Broken."
"However, this matter has nothing to do with us at the moment, and we must not get involved. We can just wait and see what happens. During this period, Le'er must not make any noise."
He and Ji Le lived in another courtyard because they actually wanted to avoid the festival and clean up the house first.
After all, he, Li Ran, is just a foreigner. Once he is involved, he will inevitably be gossiped about by outsiders.
Although it may seem like being cautious to protect yourself wisely, it can also save yourself some unnecessary troubles. I have to say that this is also a kind of wisdom.
Of course, what's more important is that now that he is outside, he can more clearly figure out the next moves of those opponents who are still hiding in the dark.
"Husband, do you think Brother Meng won't give up?"
Ji Le seemed a little puzzled. After all, Shu Niu was a member of Ji's family, and being kicked out of the house was equivalent to losing everything. What could he do if he didn't give up?
However, Li Ran looked at her calmly and said:
"Brother Meng has been running Zhengyi for many years, and the forces behind it are complicated. Now Shu Niu has just been expelled. If we, the priests, do not clean up these people, they will eventually be a hidden danger in the future."
Li Ran's answer was obviously to take care of Ji Le's feelings. He did not explain the intricate relationship behind this incident. He also did not explain the underlying reasons why Ji Xian wanted to cleanse the Ji clan in this way.
But Li Ran actually understood in his heart that the crisis Shu Niu was facing now was no less than being directly imprisoned for questioning.
Li Ran thought of this when Zichan agreed to avoid Shu Niu's death.
The whole thing seems to be that Zi Chan betrayed the Ji family to save face and let Shu Niu Ma go.
But everyone knows that Zichan’s real intention is to use the vertical bull to fish out the big fish behind him.
And this was the second reason why he told Ji Le to keep quiet. After all, this matter was very involved. If he said the wrong thing or did the wrong thing because of this matter at this moment, the consequences would be really unimaginable. As for the Ji clan, a large part of the reason why they want to eliminate the remaining members of the clan as much as possible is also to protect themselves.
Of course, even so, but if you say that you will definitely die if you stand up to the bull, then I'm afraid that's not necessarily the case.
Thinking about it, Shu Niu himself should also know that if he, a newly defeated person, can still be used, then as long as he does not commit suicide, he will definitely have a turn for the better.
"As for Brother Meng's ending, it depends on how he deals with himself..."
After saying that, Li Ran's eyes moved into the distance, looking distant and silent for a moment.
……
Outside Zhengyi City, a tea shed for merchants to rest.
The person who came to see Shu Niu off was indeed the cold warrior from before.
He always held an unsheathed bronze sword in his arms.
"Are you here to see me off?"
"Yes."
The warrior's answer was simple and neat, and then he took out another black token made of black wood from his arms and threw it in front of the vertical cow.
The dark black token exudes a chilling coldness. It has a simple form and complicated patterns. It’s hard to tell how much craftsmanship it was made. In short, it is definitely not something that can be made by an ordinary workshop. I saw two large characters suddenly engraved on the black wooden token, but they were immediately and clearly identifiable.
"I have long said that there will never be a day when your name is engraved on the talisman in my hand."
This sentence was what the warrior once jokingly said when Zhu Niu was discussing countermeasures with the warrior in the wine shop.
Unexpectedly, the prophecy has come true, and the name engraved on his fortune talisman is none other than Shu Niu.
"It turns out that this is what the so-called 'send off' means."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
This "send off" is not the other "send off". Some farewells are farewells, while some farewells are killing.
Shu Niu was quite calm, playing with the fortune talisman thrown by the warrior with one hand and looking over it several times.
"The workmanship is really exquisite. If this thing hadn't seen the light of day, it would be a rare item, and it could be sold for a lot of money."
He knew that this destiny talisman was like a knife hanging around his neck. Whoever's name was engraved on it would make the knife fall.
The warrior in front of me claims to have never failed.
But even so, he still tried hard to stay calm, talking and smiling as if nothing was wrong. He did not show any panic at all because he was about to die.
"I have long said that the method you used at that time simply did not work. You were too worried and it was natural that you would be defeated in the end."
"Haha, if you lose, you lose. What's the point of talking about this now?"
Shu Niu held the life talisman and turned his head to look at Wu Ren, with a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes.
"Could it be that...you want to disobey God?"
There is a difference between being defeated and being killed. Shu Niu is keenly aware of a little bit of life.
"Your Majesty said, now only you can save your life."
After saying that, the warrior snatched the life talisman from Shu Niu's hand and quickly put it back into his arms.
When he turned to leave, Wu Ren turned his back to Shu Niu and left the last sentence:
"Go to the State of Lu, there are people there who can help you."
When Zhu Niu heard the sound, a sinister smile suddenly appeared on his originally calm face.
"Haha, after all, it's my fault that I should die."
"Li Ran, just look at it, you will die tragically in my hands one day!"
