Chapter 1369 Don’t Talk and You Can Still Leave Alive

Ji Chundong used to have a bad temper. When he first arrived at Tingjiangzhou Barracks, he kept a low profile for two days. Later, when he got together with Ni Nantian, he let himself go.

Wan Zhong had been beaten by his brother Ji many times before, but it had never hurt as much as it did today, and the pain reached into the seams of his bones.

He knew that Brother Ji was really angry, but what exactly was he angry about and what did it have to do with him?

three years ago?

Three years ago, when did he do anything that was sorry to Master?

Ji Chundong beat the man for a while, and his anger was gone a lot. Seeing that Wan Zhong was still confused and like a fool, he hated that iron could not become steel. He clenched his fists and still wanted to get over it.

Liu Wei hurriedly stopped in the middle, frowning and said: "Master Ji, what's the use of beating him to death? He doesn't even know the whole story."

Ji Chundong gritted his teeth: "You, an outsider, can see clearly, but he is a client...Ni Nantian is still his mentor..."

Wan Zhong couldn't help but interrupt: "Ji, Brother Ji, Yi, Yifu will not kill Master..."

Ji Chundong was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Liu Wei in disbelief: "Don't you know everything? How dare you defend that old man!"

Liu Wei turned around and reminded Wan Zhong in a low voice: "Don't talk and you can still leave alive." However, Wan Zhong felt aggrieved and refused to listen to the advice. He insisted on saying: "Liu Wuzuo said before that what happened three years ago may be behind the scenes of his adoptive father." Manipulation, firstly for the three million taels of tax, and secondly for me to be promoted from deputy governor to full-time official, but I know that is definitely not the case. Brother Ji, my adoptive father will not take advantage of me, even if he wants to

I have been promoted to an official position, and if I can do more for Tingjiang Prefecture, it must be because I am loyal and serve the imperial court. He will not lie to me! "

Ji Chundong asked with eyes wide open: "Then you think I'm lying to you?"

Wan Zhong shook his head: "Brother Ji will definitely not lie to me. There must be a misunderstanding here. Why don't we go to the Yamen. My adoptive father is in the Yamen now. Let's make it clear in person and tell what happened three years ago. How are you?"

Ji Chundong couldn't stand it anymore, so he stretched out his long hand and pulled Wan Zhong out from behind Liu Wei.

Liu Wei didn't stop him this time and let Ji Chundong fight however he wanted.

After receiving another beating, this time it was over. There was no visible part of Wan Zhong's face, and he subconsciously walked behind Liu Wei.

Liu Weili didn't want to pay attention to him, moved to the side and glanced at him coolly.

Wan Zhong looked at Ji Chundong and then at Liu Wei, feeling that no one understood him.

Being sold by someone and paying for someone else's business, this means a lot of money.

Liu Wei tilted her head and asked him: "Do you really think that the Wan family are all good people?"

Wan Zhong covered his swollen cheeks and said inarticulately: "They treat me very well."

"What's a good idea?"

Wan Zhong thought for a moment, lowered his eyes and said, "Treat me as a family member..."

"Dang?" Liu Wei clicked his tongue: "How old were you when you were adopted by Wan Li?"

Wan Zhong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. He was too young at that time and couldn't remember anything at all. Anyway, he has been the young master of the Wan family as long as he can remember.

"Master Ji." Liu Wei looked at Ji Chundong: "If you adopted an orphaned baby without a father or mother, would you tell him that you are not his biological father after he becomes wise?"

Ji Chundong was stunned for a moment, and then said in a rough voice: "If he doesn't mention it, I won't say anything for the rest of my life." Liu Wei looked at Wan Zhong again and shrugged: "Normal people will do this. In a moment of kindness, they adopt a child who is still a child." For a child who cannot remember things, the best way to treat him is to tell him that he is not an orphan. He has a father and a mother. He has a healthy family. He is not an unwanted child. You were so young at the time, but you were so small. You knew at an early age that you were adopted. Why? Because people around you are instilling a concept in you, saying that you are not the biological child of the Wan family, saying that you are someone else's child, and saying that Wan Li is your adoptive father. Wan Ruxue is your sworn sister, saying that you and

They are not equal. You are the little master of the Wan family, but you are more like a high-level servant, a puppet who can grow through the charity of the Wan family. "

Wan Zhong's pupils gradually became distorted. After a while, he swallowed and shook his head: "No, no, that's not the case..." Liu Wei sighed softly: "Master Wan, you are not a child, you are an adult. People, you should have your own thinking and judgment. Ask yourself whether what I said is true. Think about it carefully, how did your adoptive father treat you and how did he treat Wan Ruxue? Are you dissatisfied? She was sent to the military camp at the age of ten and suffered hardships. If you look at your sister, she is well-dressed and well-fed, surrounded by beautiful men. You say that Sun Tong goes out to fool around without telling Wan Ruxue. That is disloyal. What about Wan Ruxue? Hers How many male favorites do she have? Even whether the child she and Sun Tong have is Sun Tong’s son, I’m afraid there is no question.

She doesn't even know. "

Wan Zhong's face slowly turned pale, and his fists were clenched tightly.

Liu Wei didn't want to force him, so she said solemnly: "You should go first and think about it carefully when you go back."

Wan Zhong didn't respond, he just raised his head and glanced at Ji Chundong again, then turned around and left without looking back.

As soon as Wan Zhong left, Ji Chundong's anger was finally gone. He said with a straight face: "What are you talking to him about? If he can figure it out, Ni Nantian will not die in vain."

Liu Wei now has a good impression of the slightly wild and vulgar Master Ji. She raised her head and asked, "Can Master Ji tell me more? Regarding what happened three years ago, there are also Father Li and Yu'er."

Ji Chundong is now less guarded against Liu Wei than before. He probably thinks that she understands the truth and is consistent with his purpose, so he doesn't mind telling the truth about what happened three years ago.

The first thing he talked about was the time he had a heart-to-heart talk with Ni Nantian before leaving Tingjiang Prefecture. "I have indeed known for a long time that the official silver was stolen. Among the pirates hired by Wan Li, one was my brother when I was a child. He came to me specifically and asked me when I was leaving. In fact, at that time, I had already received The emperor's secret letter asked me to set off immediately to take up a post in Yuanzhou. The letter of appointment came very quickly.

, and then I thought about it, part of the three million taels of 'lost' taxes should be used by the emperor. "

This statement was unexpected by Liu Wei: "I thought at first that Master Ji was colluding with Wan Li, because Wan Zhong said that the purpose of delegating you from the imperial court was to form a private army. Since it is to form an army, it will naturally cost money. "

Ji Chundong sneered and said in a sinister tone: "If we had this money, we would have spent five years building it up and it still hasn't been completed yet?"

Liu Wei choked for a moment and asked again: "Master Ji is a person in front of the emperor, so do you know why the emperor loves money so much?"

Ji Chundong looked at her for a while, pursed his lips and said nothing.

Liu Wei knew that he shouldn't ask this question, so he changed his voice: "Then if all three million taels fall into the emperor's pocket, doesn't Wan Li have a death-free medal?"

"Not necessarily." Ji Chundong raised his eyes: "Three million taels are the public account. The theft of official banknotes was indeed done by Wan Li. Tens of millions of taels of tax were transported to the capital. They were robbed on the way and lost three hundred taels. Ten thousand, this is stated openly, but secretly, what is missing should be five million taels."

Liu Wei narrowed his eyes: "The two million..."

"Wan Li enriched his own pockets." At this point, Ji Chundong looked at Liu Wei again: "Do you know where the two million taels are hidden?"

Liu Wei's mind turned around, thinking, and then shook his head after a while.

Ji Chundong said: "The two million taels on Wan Ruxue were gradually integrated into Wan Ruxue's dowry list within three years."

Liu Wei frowned: "Wan Ruxue is already married, so the money belongs to the Sun family, not the Wan family, so Mr. Zhuang can't find it no matter how hard he looks for it!" Ji Chundong nodded: "The tricks of the rat family. , but it can indeed conceal the truth."
