"The master of the family is dead, the master of the family is dead!"
Suddenly, there was a cry from inside the door.
Ji Lianqi was startled and hurriedly quickened his pace and walked quickly inside.
As soon as he walked into the room, he saw a group of maids and servants kneeling on the ground in surprise.
The man lying on the bed had his eyes closed and was motionless.
The livid eyelids, black lips, and pale face all showed that the person was dead.
Ji Lianqi roared angrily: "Ji Qingyu, get up, why are you dead? How could you die?"
Apart from being angry, there is also a sense of emptiness and loss.
He thought about many scenarios, but he really didn't expect that at the moment he just arrived, Ji Qingyu died in front of him. This way of death was too cheap for him.
"The deceased is gone, Ji Lianqi, prepare to deal with the aftermath." Zi Yan said lightly.
She glanced at Ji Qingyu who was lying on the bed and confirmed that this person was really dead, and that he died normally and was not killed by poisoning.
Presumably, he was suffering from hemoptysis at an advanced stage, and because of his rage, he probably died.
As the well-known helmsman of the Ji family, Ji Qingyu was considered a figure. Unexpectedly, when he died, his life would still be like a piece of grass.
In the face of time, everyone is equal.
No matter whether they are ordinary people, generals, ministers or emperors, no one can escape this fate.
After Zi Yan sighed inwardly, she left the room with a puff of sleeves. The aftermath was Ji Lianqi's business and had nothing to do with her.
Ji Hongbao licked his face and followed Zi Yan and asked, "Young Master Jiang, do you want to go to the Ji Family VIP Building to rest for a while?"
"Okay, take us there." Zi Yan said.
"I won't go, Mr. Jiang. The county magistrate's office is busy with affairs. I'll go back and deal with it first." Qiu Muliang said.
"That's okay. Governor Qiu, you go first, I'll be later." Zi Yan has something to talk to Ji Lianqi later, so naturally she can't leave now.
Qiu Muliang bowed towards Zi Yan, bowed her hands, then waved her sleeves and left.
Zi Yan followed Ji Hongbao to the VIP building of Ji's family.
This place is really impressive. From the outside, it looks like a very high-end place.
"Gold and Jade Mantang, it's a pretty good name." Zi Yan glanced at the wooden plaque outside, with four big characters written on it, "Gold and Jade Mantang".
The name of a businessman's VIP building is so straightforward, which seems a bit vulgar, but it is indeed in line with the identity of a business family.
"Sir, please come in. Our Ji family's VIP building is full of gold and jade, and everything you need." Ji Hongbao walked into it. After he finished speaking to Zi Yan, he turned back to talk to the others and ordered his servants to take action.
A maid was quickly arranged for Zi Yan.
The maid's name is Piaoxiang. She has a tacky name, but she is very handsome. Her white and tender skin is filled with fragrance. She is well-educated and elegant.
"Go and help Ji Lianqi stabilize the situation. When you're done, call the elders of the Ji family to the meeting hall. Call me when the time comes." Zi Yan ordered.
After Ji Hongbao left, Piao Xiang was the one who entertained Zi Yan.
Piao Xiang prepared petal water for bathing Zi Yan. The pool with white jade inlaid on the wall was very luxurious with water flowing from all sides.
There are also fragrant beds and luxurious clothes, all arranged by Ji Hongbao.
No matter what kind of character Ji Hongbao is, his ability to do things is his greatest advantage, and it is difficult for others to replace him.
Zi Yan took off her clothes, submerged her body into the pool water, felt the moisturizing of the hot water on her skin, and closed her eyes comfortably.
This season, my family will really enjoy it.
With the size of this palace full of gold and jade, it is no wonder that many courtiers entertained by the Ji family have become the Ji family's helpers and tools.
Money and luxury are really like poisons that can corrupt a person's will.
However, these things cannot defeat Zi Yan.
"Sir, the incense has been prepared in the room. Do you want the kitchen to prepare some snacks?" Piao Xiang came over to ask for instructions.
"Okay, go get ready."
Zi Yan soaked for a while, put on a top and skirt, tied up her hair in a bun, and walked out of the room, showing off her unparalleled elegance, which instantly eclipsed even a woman like Piao Xiang.
Exquisite snacks have been placed on the table in the room.
"Thousand-layer cake, shredded ginger steak, fried liver, candied fruit...it's quite authentic."
There were more than a dozen kinds of snacks. Ziyan took out her chopsticks and took two careful bites. She felt the taste and narrowed her eyes slightly.
Although the time was short, the pastries made in a hurry were very good.
"Do you have any other requests, sir?" Piao Xiang remained waiting.
"This house is full of gold and jade, are you the big manager?" Zi Yan glanced at Piao Xiang and asked.
"My lord, the rich and powerful chief steward is Deacon Bao, and I am here to serve as ordered." Piao Xiang lowered her eyes respectfully.
"That is to say, if Ji Hongbao is not around, you are the biggest one." The corners of Zi Yan's lips rose.
"Sir, I have no position." Piao Xiang said.
"It is better to have no position than to have a position. You have done well in Jinyu Mantang. I wonder what your status is in the Yuanlong organization? Is it higher than Xia Gu?" Zi Yan said with a smile.
"Sir, what are you talking about? I don't understand." A trace of panic appeared on Piao Xiang's pretty face.
"You're pretending pretty well, but you have the biggest flaw, which is that you have the smell of Three Corpse Brain Gu Pills. Don't deny it, you can't deny it either." Zi Yan said lightly.
After Zi Yan finished speaking, the fragrant breath suddenly changed.
The original weakness suddenly disappeared, replaced by a confident look.
"Sir, why did you expose me? What is your intention?" Piao Xiang stared at Zi Yan.
"It's very simple. I'm very curious about you Yuanlong. Logically speaking, you Yuanlong should take action in this change in the capital. But you didn't participate in it. I wonder what your sect thought?" Ziyan Youyou Looking at Piao Xiang with interest.
"Your Excellency, you know our Yuanlong very well. You all know about our sect and the Three Corpses Brain Gu Pills." Piao Xiang spoke while scanning the surroundings with the corner of his eye.
"I advise you not to make any move. You can't leave in front of me." Zi Yan stretched out her white jade-like fingers and tapped the table gently.
"Piao Xiang, I don't mean any harm. I am really curious this time. What does your Yuanlong organization want?" Zi Yan asked a little confused.
Feeling the aura on Zi Yan's body, Piao Xiang slowly relaxed her body.
"Yuanlong is a lurking dragon, not a dragon that goes out to sea. It is naturally hidden among the people and living its own life. How can it participate in rebellion." Piaoxiang said with a faint smile.
"It's not right to say that. Haven't your Yuanlong organization caused too many things in the capital? For example, that Yunshan Temple, how many women have been imprisoned, and Fengtai!" Zi Yan said.
