The man in brocade robes faced Bufan. Although he only took a few steps out of the crowd, he still felt like a dragon moving and a tiger leaping. A compelling aura rushed towards him.
Seeing this person appear, Zheng Jiuchang, who had already been "tortured" by Shen Qing, turned pale.
"Ji, Ji Zijin!"
"Oh? You still recognize me?"
The man in brocade robes had a slight smile on his face. After walking into the field, he first looked Zheng Jiuchang up and down, and then asked: "Guard Chief Zheng, what are you busy with? Why do you look so tired on your face?"
Faced with Ji Zijin's pressure, Zheng Jiuchang seemed to have difficulty speaking clearly. People asked him the second sentence, but he just answered the first sentence neatly.
"We know each other. How could we not know each other? If anyone in Wuyun Outer City dares to say that he or she does not know you, Mr. Ji Zijin, Ji Liu Ye, then he or she will be living in Wuyun Outer City for nothing."
Zheng Jiuchang had a flattering look on his face and seemed to be extremely afraid of this person.
Shen Qing was a little curious. Although he could probably deduce that Ji Zijin should be an important figure in the Qi family's hostile forces, he was still a little confused. He clearly had the Qi family as his backer. How could Zheng Jiuchang be so afraid?
?
Of course, in his heart he was definitely not speaking in favor of Zheng Jiuchang, but looking at things from an objective perspective.
"Haha, this is wrong. How can Ji have such a great ability? Moreover, Ji has never held any important position. How can he be recognized by everyone in the city?"
Ji Zijin had a personable demeanor, and even though he was imposing, his expression and tone when he spoke still seemed elegant and easy-going.
"By the way, Guard Chief Zheng, Ji is asking you, what made Chief Guard Zheng so embarrassed? Ji is not talented, but if necessary, he is willing to do his best to help."
"No, it's okay, it's just a little trouble. Master Ji, you can do your job and I can solve it myself."
Zheng Jiuchang waved his hands quickly, trying to send this "God of Plague" away as quickly as possible.
However, since Ji Zijin showed up, he would definitely not leave easily. On the contrary, the more Zheng Jiuchang said this, the more it proved that there was something wrong in his heart, and Ji Zijin would naturally be less likely to leave.
His eyes turned and fell on Shen Qing.
"Little friend, Ji has just been watching here for a while, and he seems to have some conflict with the chief guard of Zheng Da. Ji will give you a good warning. He, Zheng Jiuchang, is the chief of the Qi family's external guard.
Your duty is to be responsible for the security around the competition. You argued endlessly with him and even got into a fight. I think it must be because you don't understand the rules and were questioned by the chief guard of Zheng Da, but you still tried to resist."
Ji Zijin's words are always so gentle and plain. When people listen to them, they feel like they can sit down and have a good discussion no matter what the matter is.
But of course, although he said a lot of words just now, he was obviously not questioning Shen Qing. Shen Qing could still distinguish this clearly.
As soon as her mind changed, Shen Qing began to follow Ji Zijin's words and said: "Master Ji, right? You must be polite first."
Shen Qing bowed his hand. One thing about him was excellent, that is, no matter where he went or who he faced, he would always be polite.
Ji Zijin then smiled and said, "Master Ji, let's forget it. It's a name that only those people who like to flatter others are happy to use. I personally dislike it, but I am indeed older than you. If you don't
If you don't like it, just call me brother."
Shen Qing also smiled, knowing that Ji Zijin was certainly not scolding him.
"That kid overstepped his bounds. Brother Ji, here's the thing. I've been admiring the Qiankun Soul Competition for a long time. I came from out of town yesterday and didn't mention watching the competition. I wanted to find an inn to rest in the evening, but I couldn't find it in this area.
The price of the inn on this street was really shocking, and it was definitely not something that a mountain boy like me could afford, so I thought about finding an alley that was sheltered from the wind and rain for a night, and then, I met them in the middle of the night."
"Oh? So you've been in a stalemate here all night?"
"Isn't it? They took me back for interrogation without any explanation. I asked why, but they couldn't explain it. In the end, they even used a knife. Brother Ji, look at the injury on my arm, it was from him.
The edge of the knife."
Shen Qing pointed at Zheng Jiuchang, who had a stern look on his face. He didn't know whether he wanted to escape or was thinking of some rebuttal.
Hearing this, Ji Zijin turned to look at Zheng Jiuchang, "Chief Guard Zheng, I wonder...is what this little brother said is true?"
"This...the blade was indeed made by the steel knife in my hand, but it was also cut because he resisted arrest. If he had been obedient, I...oh no, how could Zheng hurt someone!"
Zheng Jiuchang quickly argued, "Master Ji, you also know that all of us external guards who work for the Qi family strictly abide by the teachings given by the head of the Qi family, and we will never bully others based on our status, hehe
, you think so?"
Ji Zijin nodded, "That's true. Patriarch Qi is an upright man, so he must have a tight control over his subordinates' invitations."
"That's right, how could you attack the Master for no reason like this little guy said?" Zheng Jiuchang was half relieved, but he also muttered a little guilty, this Ji Zijin is the "deacon appointed by the Inner City Zhengmeng"
", his responsibility is to manage and supervise the rules of conduct of various forces in the outer city. Once there is anyone who exceeds the rules, or anyone does something that violates the rules and regulations, he has the right to directly arrest them, and
It is as a member of the Inner City Zhengmeng!
Of course, if it were just that, Zheng Jiuchang wouldn't be so afraid. The most important thing is that Ji Zijin is very close to one of the two rival families of the Qi family. In order to prevent him from targeting him, the Qi family even
There have been several preemptive plans, such as frame-ups, frame-ups, and reporting to the Zhengmeng that he was using power for personal gain and bending the law. However, when soldiers came to cover up the water and the earth, there was always a way to resolve it.
Under such a premise, Ji Zijin's attitude toward the Qi family can be imagined.
So Zheng Jiuchang can't be afraid. Ji Zijin is like a thorn in the back of the old family leader Qi. Even the old family leader Qi doesn't dare to easily fall into his hands. Now he has provoked this master himself.
Son, if it is not handled properly, even if Ji Zijin would treat him like this, even the master of the old family, Qi, would definitely not get any good results!
But now it seems that Ji Zijin has no intention of investigating strictly this time.
Zheng Jiuchang thought like this, and the smile on his face became more flattering. He took another two steps forward and whispered: "Master Ji, it's really nothing. You see that you are very busy all day long. What's wrong with me?"
All these messy things have delayed time, which makes me feel like I am deliberately not going to do it."
Ji Zijin tilted his head and looked at him, "So?"
"So? Hehe, if Master Ji doesn't mind, tomorrow night...oh no, just tonight, I will be my host. Master Ji, please give me a favor and give me a chance to make amends?"
This made it clear that Ji Zijin was going to be bribed. For Zheng Jiuchang, he felt that he had seized a good opportunity, because in terms of the grudge between Ji Zijin and the Qi family, in this situation, for Ji Zijin
It should be a rare opportunity for Zijin to attack the Qi family, but he did not show the intention to pursue it to the end, which showed that he was conveying something to himself.
Zheng Jiuchang feels that he is quite smart, and he is well versed in these ways of dealing with people.
"Haha, you're welcome to Ji. Let's see each other tonight at Zuifulou?"
"Hey, okay, okay! Just don't worry, Mr. Ji, I will definitely have a drink with you when the time comes!"
Zheng Jiuchang was overjoyed, not only because the matter had been resolved, but also because if he could establish a relationship with Ji Zijin, his future would be much easier.
There might even be a chance to jump from the outer city of Wuyun and sneak directly into the inner city through Ji Zijin's connections!
"Then we have made an agreement, Captain Zheng, as for this little brother..."
"Haha, of course Master Ji, you can handle it as you say." Zheng Jiuchang held up his hands and laughed.
"Okay, then I will take him away and interrogate him carefully. Don't worry, Chief Guard Zheng. I know this must be a misunderstanding. After I interrogate him, I will definitely let him give you a clean reputation."
Hearing this, Zheng Jiuchang was even more delighted. He had been teased by Shen Qing for half the night. He had long understood that Shen Qing had deliberately let him hit him with the knife, in order to give him a reputation for being domineering. To be honest,
, having been watched by so many people for so long, it was basically impossible to get rid of this crime, but now that Master Ji has said so, is this matter still a big deal?!
Zheng Jiuchang was very happy and thanked Ji Zijin several times before taking the others away.
"Everyone, please be dismissed. A notice will be posted at the entrance of the city tomorrow morning, and Ji will give everyone an explanation."
Ji Zijin bowed his hands to the crowd. To be honest, everyone was just watching the excitement. No one really cared who was at fault in this matter. But it was different for Ji Zijin. Everyone should see it.
He, he will definitely let everyone see it, because this is his duty.
"Let's go, little brother. I have to give you a hard time before night, and stay with Ji."
Shen Qing glanced at him. To be honest, he was a little confused now. He really didn't know what Ji Zijin meant.
Are they the black-hearted people who are colluding with Zheng Jiuchang?
Or maybe it's not as simple as you think to solve this matter?
I don’t know, but I can only leave with him now, because to be honest, this person has an aura similar to that of Liu Changfeng and other powerful people in the Nether Realm, and it is impossible for me to resist if I want to.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, the day passed, and night fell quickly.
During this day, Ji Zijin didn't ask Shen Qing anything about the dispute, and he didn't even mention Zheng Jiuchang's name. He just led Shen Qing to do his own thing, and Shen Qing watched the whole process.
, with a confused look on his face.
In the evening, Ji Zijin finally said to Shen Qing: "Let's go, it's time to take Zheng Jiuchang to task..."
