The next day, Ji Xian finally followed Zi Chan's wishes and drove Shu Niushi out of Ji's house.
There is nothing to say. This is Zichan's bottom line, and it is also his final concession.
As a result, Shu Niu, who was once the arrogant and powerful man within 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 cleanliness arose 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 strife.
But he knew that if he were to be merciful this time, he would be completely contrary to the Zheng Guomiao Temple headed by Zichan. From that day on, everything that Ji Shi did in Zheng State would also be implicated because of this incident.
However, if you think about it again, wouldn't it be a good thing for the ancestors to clean up the family on such a scale? At least he was still able to control the current chaos, at least he didn't let it get out of control until he finally woke up.
Zheng Yi, who was originally a little dull because of 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 within 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 severe 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 out at once and so many vacancies are available, many businesses within the Ji clan will inevitably be paralyzed for a while.
"Hey, if that's not the case, why is it so clear and canonical?"
"My father-in-law, although his attack this time was 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 keep quiet."
He and Ji Le lived in another courtyard because they actually wanted to avoid Ji Le's first move to clean up the house.
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 careless to protect yourself wisely, it can also save yourself some unnecessary worries. I have to say, this is also a kind of wisdom.
Of course, what's more important is that he is now outside, so that 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. So 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 can be said to be complicated. Now Shu Niu has just been expelled. If our family members don't clean up these people, they will eventually be a hidden danger in the future."
Li Ran answered this way, obviously to take care of Ji Le's feelings. He did not explain the intricate relationship behind this incident.
But Li Ran actually knew best in his heart that the crisis Shu Niu was facing now was no less than being directly imprisoned for interrogation.
Li Ran thought of this when Zichan agreed to avoid Shu Niu's death.
The whole thing seems to be that Zichan 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 is very involved. If you say or do the wrong thing because of this matter at this moment, the consequences will be really unimaginable.
Of course, even so, if you want to raise a bull, you will definitely die? That's probably not the case either.
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 fate, 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, there is 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 clear, 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 is impossible to tell for a moment how hand-crafted it is. In short, it is definitely not something that an ordinary workshop can make.
I saw two large characters suddenly engraved on the black wooden token, but they were clearly identifiable.
"I told you a long time ago that one day I would never have your name engraved on the destiny talisman in my hand."
This sentence was what Wu Ren said jokingly when Zhu Niu was discussing countermeasures with Wu Ren in the wine shop.
Unexpectedly, the prophecy came true, and the name engraved on his destiny talisman was none other than Shu Niu.
"It turns out that this is what the so-called 'send off' means."
This "send off" is not the other's "send off". Some send-offs are farewells, while some send-offs are killings.
Zhu Niu was quite calm, playing with the life talisman thrown by Wu Ren 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 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 didn't 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 cunning look in his eyes.
"Could it be that...you want to disobey God?"
There is a difference between being defeated and being killed. Shu Niu was keenly aware of a little bit of life.
"Your Majesty said, now only you can save your life."
After saying that, the martial artist snatched the life talisman from Shu Niu's hand and quickly put it back into his arms.
As he turned to leave, Wu Ren turned his back to the vertical cow and left the last sentence:
"Go to Lu Country, there is someone 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 was me who gave up the bull's life, and I shouldn't have died."
"Li Ran, just watch, one day you will die tragically in my hands!"
