Chapter 58 Revenge
After the bread was successfully made, Ji Zheng and Li Wencheng talked about many details about opening a store.
I didn't leave Li Wencheng's house until everything was finalized.
Now Ji Zheng has only one thing left to do before leaving, and that is to deal with the Ji family.
Ji Zheng had to plan carefully how to clean up the mess. The most important thing was to get rid of it once and for all without leaving any trouble.
Killing people is impossible. Although there were no surveillance devices like the Sky Eye in ancient times, we should not underestimate the government officials.
Moreover, if all the people in the Ji family were killed, he wouldn’t be able to kill any of them.
The second option is to bring people to beat them up? This is not a good idea either. If his reputation is ruined when he is about to take the exam, what is the point of entering the official career?
It won't work if you pay anonymously to hire thugs. The Ji family won't realize that they did it, so they will still look for Ji and An.
Thinking of this, Ji Zheng clicked his tongue in annoyance. In the costume dramas he used to watch, those people would kill people without any hesitation, but why did he have to consider so many things in his situation?
After calming down and thinking for a while, I finally came up with a solution.
What did the people in ancient times fear the most? It must be the officials who made decisions for them.
Ji Zheng stood up suddenly, with calculation in his dark eyes. It seemed that it was time to repay Lu Qin's favor.
Early the next morning, Ji Zheng went to see Lu Qin.
The front hall of the Lu family.
"What's the matter?" There were still two days until the agreed date, so Ji Zheng must have something to talk to him about.
"Help me." Ji Zheng didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.
"You say."
Ji Zheng didn't say anything, but glanced at the maids who were lowering their heads in the hall.
Lu Qin gave the servant beside him an understanding look.
Soon the servant left with the maids, leaving only Ji Zheng and Lu Qin.
Ji Zheng smiled and took two steps forward. "...This is how it is. I won't be at ease until I deal with them."
Lu Qin frowned and thought for a moment, and roughly guessed what Ji Zheng wanted him to do.
"So what's your plan?"
"I invite you to visit our village."
Lu Qin understood what Ji Zheng meant by this. He wanted to tell everyone in the village that he and the county magistrate's son were friends, and they had a very good relationship.
"Okay, when?"
"It's better to do it today than today."
...
The two of them sat in a carriage and headed towards Shiqiang Village with a large group of people.
From the scene and the occasion, the villagers knew from a distance that an important person had arrived.
Ji Zheng took Lu Qin directly to the village chief, pointed out Lu Qin's identity, and lied in all seriousness that he brought Lu Qin to play for a day.
When the son of the county magistrate arrived, the village chief immediately sent someone to notify the entire village.
Suddenly, the whole village was in an uproar, and every household wanted to see what the county magistrate's son looked like.
At the same time, he was also curious why such a rich man like the county magistrate would come to their village to play.
What fun things are there in this remote place?
People really couldn't understand it, but they all huddled at their doorsteps, hoping that the county magistrate's son would pass by so that they could have a good look at him.
"Let me tell you, I heard that the county magistrate came here to play because of Ji Zheng."
"Is this true? Ji Zheng? Is this the Ji Zheng I know?"
"Of course it's true. My sister-in-law told me."
The woman who was speaking is the sister-in-law of the village chief.
"Ji Zheng can actually be friends with the county magistrate's son?" the man exclaimed.
"That's right, and I heard that they have a very good relationship." The woman's tone was full of envy.
In no time, the news spread throughout the entire Shiqiang Village, and now even the upper villages knew about it.
The Ji family was also silent at this moment.
The eldest and second brothers Ji were talking in the yard, while mother Ji was hanging clothes to dry, but there was something wrong with her expression.
Under the eaves, Ji's father was staring out the door with an unknown look on his face.
"The person they are talking about is my third brother?" asked Big Brother Ji with some disbelief.
"I just took a quick look and it was indeed him," replied the second brother Ji.
There was silence again.
"Third brother...when did he get to know such an important figure?" said the eldest brother Ji again.
Second Brother Ji shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"So do you think he will bring the county magistrate's son home?"
As soon as Brother Ji said this, Mother Ji paused in her action of collecting the basin, and a dark light flashed quickly in Father Ji's eyes.
"Maybe. Even though they've split up, his parents are still his parents after all." Second Brother Ji said uncertainly.
After hearing what Ji's second brother said, Ji's father suddenly stood up and shouted to Ji's mother, "Kill a chicken tonight."
Ji's mother responded.
On the other side, at the village chief's house, Ji Zheng saw that the time was almost up and believed that the news had already spread, so he took Lu Qin and the village chief to say goodbye. He had to go and take advantage of the power of others.
"Are we going to your father-in-law's house next?" Lu Qin asked in a low voice as the two men walked out of the village chief's house.
"Where else do you want to go?" Ji Zheng asked, "Do you want to see the natural scenery?"
Lu Qin was choked by this and changed the subject, "Where did Niu Niu live before?"
Having said that he and Li Wencheng have been together for so many years, he has never been to Li Wencheng's home.
Ji Zheng flipped through the original owner's memory, pointed in a direction and said, "The first house down there is his."
Lu Qin nodded, standing there looking in that direction, and suddenly his mind emerged with many things that Li Wencheng had told him about what happened in the village when Li Wencheng was a child.
"It's getting late, it's time to get down to business." Ji Zheng pulled Lu Qin who was standing there in a daze, "What are you in a daze for? Why are you suddenly laughing so hard..."
Ji Zheng searched for an adjective in his mind for a long time, and finally said, "Such a disgusting smile."
Lu Qin: “….”
Is this a debt of gratitude? It is indeed harder to repay than a debt of money.
A group of people came to the upper village in a mighty stream, and the first thing Ji Zheng did was to go to Ji's house.
Ji Zheng pushed the door open with great fanfare and immediately saw Ji Dafu basking in the sun in the yard.
Ji Dafu also saw him. Of course, not only Ji Dafu, but their battle was so big that basically the whole family of Ji saw it.
But everyone looked very unhappy, especially Ji Dafu. His injuries had not yet healed completely, and when he saw Ji Zheng bringing the county magistrate's son to his house, his heart skipped a beat and his face turned pale.
When Ji's mother came out of the kitchen, her face turned pale instantly. She didn't know what she was thinking about, but her hands holding the dishes began to tremble.
Seeing that the Ji family members were silent, Ji Zheng stood up and said with a fake smile: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, eldest brother, second brother, your son-in-law is here to see you."
Even though it was such a hot day, Ji Dafu and his mother felt a chill rising from the soles of their feet and spreading to every part of their bodies.
Although Ji's father and Ji's second brother were frightened, they didn't know what Ji's mother and Ji Dafu had done to Ji He'an on the street that day, so they were not as scared as Ji Dafu and his companions.
Father Ji was the first to react, and Cangsang forced a smile on his face, "It's Zheng, come in and sit down."
After saying that, he even pretended to look behind Ji Zheng and asked, "He An didn't come with you?"
Ji Zheng led a few people into the yard and locked the door.
He has no patience for playing fast and loose with these people.
His eyes swept through everyone present one by one. Ji's father was too old and could be easily beaten to death. Ji's mother was also old, and she was a woman, so she would probably be easily killed if he beat her.
Then the only ones left are Ji Erqiang and Ji Dafu.
Ji Zheng sneered, moved his hands and neck, and walked straight to Ji Dafu.
"Hey, big brother is in good health. He can already walk after just two months."
There was a smile on her face and her words sounded like she cared deeply about him, but when people heard them, they felt a chill in their hearts.
Ji Dafu was scared. He had just gotten out of bed and had been in so much pain these days.
Looking at Ji Zheng approaching him step by step, Ji Dafu's chubby face was squeezed into a ball, and he shouted at Ji Zheng fiercely: "Ji Zheng, what do you want to do!"
The people around him also noticed something was wrong, especially Ji's father, whose expression changed immediately. Ji Dafu was his most beloved eldest son, and he immediately shouted, "Zheng boy, you..."
Unfortunately, before he could finish his words, he saw the person following Lu Qin pulled out a knife. The silver-white knife with a cold glow immediately swallowed his words into his mouth.
Ji Zheng turned around and smiled brightly at Ji's father, "Don't worry, father-in-law, I won't do anything to my elder brother."
But just after he finished speaking, Ji Dafu was kicked out by Ji Zheng with such force that Ji Dafu couldn't even get up, and his nose and tears were streaming.
Seeing Ji Zheng still walking towards him, Ji Dafu begged for mercy, "I was wrong, I was wrong, Ji Zheng, I was really wrong."
"You're wrong? But I remember that my Ji and An were beaten up in the street by you guys even though they did nothing wrong. Now you're wrong, so what about the revenge of my Ji and An?"
"It wasn't me who hit them, it was my mother who hit them, Xiaosi, no no no, the injuries on Ji and An's faces were caused by my mother..." Ji Dafu pointed at Ji's mother and cried.
At this moment, Ji's mother was completely frozen, her face as pale as a deathly person.
Seeing his beloved son putting all the blame on him, he didn't know whether he should feel sad for his ungrateful son or be afraid of retaliation.
Ji Zheng knew it, so he put away his smile, glanced at Ji's mother coldly, then turned to Ji Dafu and said, "You can only blame your mother. After all, I can't hit an old woman. You are her son, so you should bear the consequences for her mistakes, right?"
After saying that, he grabbed a handful of straw and stuffed it into Ji Dafu's mouth, then found Ji Dafu's arm and said, "I remember it was your mother's hand that hit you, right? Then you can break it for her."
After saying that, his hands were removed. Before Ji Dafu passed out, the only thing in his mind was that it was because his mother beat Ji He'an that Ji Zheng beat him, so it was all his mother's fault!
He developed a great resentment towards Ji's mother, and the more pain he felt, the greater the resentment.
Looking at the person who fainted, Ji Zheng clapped his hands, turned around and looked at Ji Erqiang with a smile.
