Chapter 550: Make a deal
Chapter 550 Make a deal
If you don’t come, at least you have to call someone back.
I was thinking about it, and suddenly heard the door knocked: "Guest officer, your guest has arrived."
Xu Mingyi raised his voice: "Please come in."
The guy answered and pushed the door open.
Ji Xiu took Ji Wanyou into the elegant room and arched his hands at the girl sitting there. There was not much expression on her face, and her tone was not lukewarm: "Miss Xu."
Ji Wanyou had a smile on her face: "I haven't seen Miss Xu for a long time."
"Yes." Xu Mingyi stood up and responded: "Ji Shangshu, Ji, please sit down."
The father and daughter sat down, Ji Xiu didn't touch the tea in front of him, and opened the door to ask: "Miss Xu, please come here, I don’t know what's important? I have to risk the interview here?"
From the last time I saw this little girl in the lacquerware shop, he appeared with King Yan and King Shisun Dingnan, he knew that he shouldn’t judge this girl with the eyes of ordinary ladies——
If not, he would not come today.
But there are many people in Pingqing Hall. If it is spread out, he will meet with the girl in the town government office, I’m afraid there will be trouble.
"Ji Shangshu, rest assured, I have taken care of everything. There will never be anyone who talks too much." Xu Mingyi said: "I invite Ji Shangshu to come today, and there is something important to talk about. To be precise, I want to talk with Ji. Shang Shu makes a deal."
trade?
Ji Xiu frowned slightly-Zhen Guogong was about to return to Beijing. At this time, what kind of business is the other party going to do with him?
After hesitating for a moment, thinking of the current situation of himself and the court, Ji Xiu turned his head slightly to look at his daughter: "Wan'er, you go to the courtyard to help your father stare a little bit, don't let people come near here."
This is an elegant room in the backyard of Pingqing Pavilion.
Each elegant room exists alone, so I don’t worry about the ears on the left and right walls, and he just noticed it. This girl Xu arranged for someone to guard nearby——
But do you need to pay for your daughter? I always have to arrange a job.
Ji Wanyou knew in her heart that she didn't say much, but Yiyan avoided it.
"Miss Xu can speak straight now." If the transaction is not a transaction, it is not too late for him to decide whether to agree or not after listening.
"I want to ask Ji Shangshu about an old incident-the death of the first emperor eighteen years ago. I wonder if it was caused by an old illness or by the so-called genius doctor who was found outside the palace?"
Ji Xiu's expression changed.
He asked the other party to say directly...
But he didn't expect to be so straight!
and straight so terrible!
When he met the girl's eyes waiting for an answer, he subconsciously denied it, and even couldn't help looking around, before lowering his voice: "As everyone knows, the first emperor died of illness back then! I don't know where Miss Xu heard it. Rumors!"
"Of course I know things that are well-known." Xu Mingyi looked at him with calm eyes: "What I want to ask now is what everyone doesn't know--otherwise, why would I make a special trip to ask Ji Shangshu to come over?"
Mentioning this old incident, Ji Xiu's heart throbbed wildly, but a sneer overflowed between his lips and teeth: "Ten thousand steps back, even though the matter back then was insider, why did Ji want to tell Miss Xu?"
Tell the other party what is enough to kill him, is he crazy?
Just for the cup of tea in front of you? When the other party asks this question, he has to say it?
The little girl is ridiculously naive.
"The reason is naturally there-Ji Shangshu is afraid that I didn't listen carefully. I said from the beginning, this time I want to make a deal with Ji Shangshu, not for nothing." The girl raised her eyes and scanned the closed one. The door, "For example, in exchange for Miss Ji's life-how does Ji Shangshu feel?"
Ji Xiu's face turned cold.
"Why, you want to threaten me with Wan'er's safety?!"
Dare to say such things in front of him, he thinks this little girl is crazy!
not good……
Wan'er just went out, and there were a lot of people from each other outside!
Ji Xiu put one hand on the table and was about to get up, but he heard Xu Mingyi say: "Ji Shangshu thinks too much, as a woman, I will not use an innocent weak woman to threaten her father--"
Ji Xiu frowned and turned his head to look out the door. The lights were already on under the corridor, and the shadow of her daughter was standing on the side of the corridor through the window lattice.
"However, if it is said that Ms. Ji's safety is in exchange, it is a fact, but it is not a danger, but only safety." Xu Mingyi said: "Ji Shangshu tells the truth, I promise Ms. Ji's life in the future."
Ji Xiu now understands.
But still feel funny: "My own daughter, can't I still protect it? I still need a girl to guarantee it?"
"I can protect myself now, but how sure can I be sure when Ji Shangshu can't protect himself in the future?" The girl's tone was calm and serious, without sarcasm, and she didn't deliberately exaggerate the sense of crisis.
Everything is in front of your eyes——
The worst result can be seen at a glance.
"..." Ji Xiu's eyes changed.
In the future?
In the future of his Ji family, it is indeed not optimistic.
The emperor had already had a murderous intention on him before, but he was pretending to be stupid, and barely stabilized the situation for a while, and now the court is just using people...
This is from his own perspective.
If we look at the overall situation, the people’s minds are now shaking, and there are constant disturbances of all sizes, and before returning to the north, King Yan was assassinated like that...Everyone wants to live. When it is too late to see, King Yan will really know. Is there no resistance to it?
If there is another one, it is Zhen Guo Gong...
Before, he used to say that with a Xu family alone, it was too whimsical to talk about rebellion, but that was in the past... He didn't expect the emperor to be so fast, the current situation is already very different!
Now Xu Jiaruo is really being pushed back, and the imperial court who is about to be dying ill face hard, and if those big and small forces take the opportunity to pounce on the food, Daqing is afraid that it will really be over...
Whenever he thinks of this, he will scold himself in the bottom of his heart-why he was blinded by the dog's eyes and got on this broken ship!
If you don’t have the helmsman's fart skills, you know that he's a **** man! Now it's all right, the boat is going to be sinking, everyone can only die together!
Not to mention, his two sons died in vain, and he was used to avenge King Yan in every possible way...
Even though there are misunderstandings, he knows what he has done himself, and it is impossible that everything can be erased just because one sentence is used.
Speaking of it, he even cut off his life after the shipwreck in advance...
Thinking of this, Ji Xiu looked at the calm girl in front of him again, and pretended to sneer and asked: "Protect my daughter's life in the future... The Xu family is in such a situation now, but Miss Xu is so big. In a tone, is it possible that Lord Zhen Guo has secretly reached a consensus with some noble person?"
He knows a little bit about the person of Zhen Guogong——
If the other party had previously said that he had secretly colluded with King Yan, he would not believe it.
But it can’t be said right now...
