Chapter 427 - ConversationAfter sending off the strange beggar, Ji Feng walked to the side and dialed Ji Shaohong"s number.
"Little Feng?"
Suddenly, he received a call from Ji Feng. Ji Shaohong was surprised, "Why did you suddenly call me? Is there something wrong? "
Ji Feng laughed, "From your tone, I can only talk to you when I"m in trouble?"
Ji Shaohong smiled and said, "Of course not, but isn"t these two days a sensitive time …" "So, what"s the reaction of the Wu Clan now?"
Ji Shaohong, as the third generation leader of the Wu Clan, naturally received the news of the conflict between Ji Feng and the Wu Clan. Since Ji Shaohong was the third generation leader of the Wu Clan, naturally received the news of the conflict between Ji Feng and the Wu Clan, Ji Shaohong, as the third generation leader of the Wu Clan, naturally received the news of the conflict between Ji Feng.
He knew that even if he did come, it would only cause trouble. He didn"t even call Ji Feng because he didn"t want to give Ji Feng any pressure. He wanted Ji Feng to think carefully about the matter.However, now that Ji Feng suddenly called him, Ji Shaohong knew that something must have happened. Otherwise, how could Ji Feng be in the mood to call him when it was too late for him to think about the Wu family?
"That"s what I wanted to talk to you about!" He secretly praised Ji Shaohong for becoming more and more outstanding. His reaction was much faster and his eyes were sharp. It seemed like he did not become the county governor for nothing, as he had already acquired a certain level of experience and ability.
Ji Shaohong could not help but ask, "Oh? "What do you mean?"
Ji Feng withdrew his thoughts and said, "It"s like this. You should know the general situation, right?"
"Yes, I know about it. Is Old Wu in custody now?" Ji Shaohong asked, "What do we do next?"When Ji Shaohong said those words, he could not help but feel proud of himself.
In fact, it was because the Ji Clan had always tolerated the war between the Wu Clan and the Ji Clan. The Wu Clan didn"t restrain itself; on the contrary, they became more and more aggressive.Even Ji Shaohong had a conflict with the Wu Clan. At that time, he had chosen to back off. Even though it was only a small conflict, it was enough to prove how arrogant the Wu Clan was.
And now, Old Wu was being locked up. It looked like he was about to be sentenced. How could Ji Shaohong not vent his hatred?
However, the current Ji Shaohong was no longer the young master he once was. Furthermore, he had become much calmer after becoming the county magistrate. Therefore, even though he was proud of himself, he spoke with a reserved tone."Little Hong, things might be a little unexpected." Ji Feng said.
"Hmm?"Ji Shaohong was stunned. "What do you mean?"
Ji Feng continued, "Just now, I received a call from Wu Zhiyong. He seems to have some information on Ji Shaoyu …"
"What?!"Ji Shaohong was stunned, "Is this true?"
Ji Feng shook his head, "I don"t know if it"s true or not. I just received Wu Zhizhong"s call, so I called you."
Ji Shaohong immediately asked, "Wu Zhizhong wants to use this as a weakness to threaten you and make you let go of him so that you won"t chase after him anymore? Or perhaps, you want us to let Wu Zhengxin go? "Ji Feng smiled. "He didn"t say anything, and I didn"t let him finish speaking before hanging up and calling you right away..."
Ji Shaohong understood. He asked after some thought, "What do you want me to do?"
Ji Feng said, "I want to know what Ji Shaoyu did. In other words, I want to know what weakness he has ended up in the hands of Wu Zhi Yong. It is not appropriate for me to ask about this, so I can only ask you … I want to know the details and hear the truth! "
"... I understand! " Ji Shaohong nodded.
"Shaohong, don"t think about anything else for now. Let"s clear up Shao You"s matter first!" Ji Feng continued, "No matter what he did, he had to speak of it first before thinking of a solution."
"I understand what you mean. Little Feng, don"t worry, just leave this matter to me. I will definitely ask clearly!" Ji Shaohong gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "If that stinking brat really did something unforgivable, I will not cover for him. No matter what, I cannot miss this chance!"
It was actually not too difficult to grasp the strength of a Martial Arts Disciple. As long as one wanted to, there was always a chance. One must know, the arrogance of those disciples far surpa.s.sed that of those of the Ji Clan.
Moreover, all the elders of the Ji Clan had strict rules forbidding the Ji Clan"s disciples from meddling in dirty matters. Thus, under normal circ.u.mstances, it would not be easy for other people to catch the disciples of the Ji Clan.
Therefore, it was not too difficult to take care of some members of the Wu Clan.
However, that was just a small matter. Moreover, even if they did find out something, there would be people who would come out and take the blame. They would have no way to deal a substantial blow to the people of the martial family.
This was a common tactic used by many big families and those rich and powerful. There was plenty of money to take the blame. As long as there were enough benefits, many people would be willing to do this.Therefore, it was not easy to get hold of Wu Zhengxin"s weakness this time.
Besides, Wu Zhengxin was the Third Master of the Wu family. Regardless of his status in the Wu family, or if he was really stupid, that was not important. What was important was his ident.i.ty!
If he could take down Wu Zhengxin, it would be a huge blow to the Wu family"s prestige.
How could such a thing be missed so easily?
Therefore, when Ji Shaohong heard the news, he accepted it decisively. Furthermore, Ji Shaoyu was his brother, so Ji Shaohong should show his face.
Furthermore, Ji Shaohong was quite clear about Ji Shaoyu"s character, so when he heard Ji Feng"s words, he immediately realized that Ji Shaoyu must have done something terrible. Otherwise, Wu Zhizhong would not have used this matter to negotiate with Ji Feng.Ji Shaohong had to ask what Ji Shaoyu had done.
Besides, Ji Shaohong was very clear that the reason Ji Feng called him was to let him deal with this matter. In fact, this was also a chance for Ji Shaoyu, and even his elders did not know about this news. If he could resolve this matter before the Wu Clan could really talk about this matter, he would at most receive a few sentences of criticism.However, if the matter really blew up, then Young Master Ji might be punished even more severely!
"Leave this to me. I"ll go back to Beijing now. I"ll be there in the evening at the most. I"ll tell you when there"s news." Ji Shaohong said in a deep voice.
"Mm, be careful on the way." Ji Feng said.
Since he had Ji Shaohong"s promise, Ji Feng felt slightly more at ease. He knew that Ji Shaohong was a very reliable person. Although Ji Shaohong"s ability might not be comparable to his big brother Ji Shaodong"s, he was definitely not bad either.
Therefore, after ending the call with Ji Shaohong, Ji Feng felt much more at ease. He put away the phone and turned around to take a look, only to find that the beggar was still sitting upright on a bench in the resting area of the plaza.
Ji Feng"s evaluation of this person rose even higher. After a moment of deliberation, he lifted his leg and walked over.When the beggar saw Ji Feng walking over, he hurriedly stood up and looked at him.
"Sit down and talk?" Ji Feng asked with a smile.
"Alright."The beggar nodded and sat down at a distance from Ji Feng.
Seeing his actions, Ji Feng smiled in an undetectable manner. This was a habitual reaction of vigilance. Everyone would act this way when facing strangers, and Ji Feng was no exception.
From this, it could be seen that although this beggar wanted to talk to him, he still maintained a certain level of vigilance against him.
Ji Feng didn"t mind. Instead, he asked, "Can you tell me why you"re asking for a million?"
The beggar said, "I need money."Ji Feng shook his head and smiled, "Of course I know you need money. What I mean is, what do you need money for?"
The beggar was silent for a moment before saying, "I need this money to save my life!"
From the looks of it, he did not want to go into details. Although he was willing to talk to Ji Feng, there was definitely a trace of caution, so Ji Feng could understand why he kept his words to himself.
"Then …"Ji Feng considered his words before asking, "How are you so sure that you are worth one million? What you want is not a small amount. Even some big bosses might not be able to take out that much money in such a short time... If you don"t have enough value, I"m afraid you won"t be able to get that much money! "
However, the beggar said, "I think you should have one.""Heh."
Ji Feng laughed. This man was rather interesting, and he laughed, "Even if I have the money, who would give it to a stranger for no reason? Furthermore, you don"t even know the use of money? I believe that if you were me, you would also do the same, right? "
The beggar nodded before raising his head and saying, "But as long as you give me a million, my life is yours. From now on, I won"t say a word about anything you want me to do …"Ji Feng laughed, "But how can I trust you? "Besides, how would I know that you"re really worth one million yuan?"
The beggar went silent. He couldn"t answer Ji Feng"s questions, because he didn"t know how to convince Ji Feng. At the same time, he didn"t know if he was really worth a million yuan.
"Enough."He wanted to pat the beggar"s shoulder, but seeing that the beggar was about to raise his hand to block him, he smiled and shook his head. He took his hand back and said, "I don"t plan on taking your life, and I don"t have that much money either.
