Chapter 244 Aftermath(1/2)

Two chapters together, fat, please give me a monthly ticket

***

Before Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian could say a few words, someone came outside to report that Mr. Ji San was back. "≤,

"Ayou," Ji Xiaotang heard it and looked at Qi Younian, "I didn't say that I asked you to hold my uncle back, why did he come back so soon." Because I expected that Xie Ziqian and other rebels were likely to take action when Master Ji San returned to Qingyuan, Ji Xiaotang first discussed various countermeasures with Qi Younian and made arrangements.

One of them, Ji Xiaotang repeatedly told Qi Younian that it was to delay Master Ji San's itinerary.

Although proper arrangements have been made, Ji Xiaotang is very clear that the Ji family still has to take huge risks on this day. She will try her best to protect the family, the weak, the women and the children, and at the same time, she does not want Mr. Ji San to take risks.

As long as Master Ji San is saved, he will save a new force of the Ji family. Even if the worst situation occurs in Qingyuan, there will be people in the Ji family. As the saying goes, if you keep the green mountains there, you will not have to worry about burning firewood.

At that time, Qi Younian solemnly agreed, and Ji Xiaotang was still very confident in Qi Younian. But now, the smoke of Qingyuan has not completely dissipated, so why did Master Ji San come back?

"Xiaotang, I... have done my best. I'm afraid that my uncle knows the news, and you also know his uncle's temper." Qi Younian could only explain with a wry smile.

Although Ji Xiaotang complained about Qi Younian, he did not really blame him in his heart. Just as Qi Younian said, she knew Master Ji San's temper very well. Master Ji San is not someone who knows that there is danger and will avoid it. The more he knows the danger, the more he wants to rush forward.

No matter what method Qi Younian used, it was not easy to delay Master Ji San, and it was already difficult to return to Qingyuan now. Moreover, as people reported that Master Ji San should be safe, Ji Xiaotang would not blame Qi Younian even more.

Because Master Ji San is back, and the Ji family still has many things to deal with for the aftermath. Ji Xiaotang did not continue to stay in the county government. She has finished all the things she can do here.

Ji Xiaotang said goodbye to Qi Younian.

Qi Younian is at the county government, but there are still many things to be done to be cured.

"I'll go back to see my uncle first. And the batch of food that my uncle brought back. Let's talk in detail later." Ji Xiaotang said to Qi Younian.

"I'd better send you back." Qi Younian thought for a while and decided to say.

Although the thief in the city has been resolved, who can guarantee that there is no arrested fish hidden in the dark? Qi Younian is naturally worried that Ji Xiaotang will go back alone. Even if he sends someone else to escort Ji Xiaotang, it is not as safer as he personally escorts, and it makes her feel more at ease.

Ji Xiaotang knew Qi Younian’s concerns, so he did not refuse.

Soon, Ji Xiaotang returned to Ji's mansion. As soon as she entered the door, she headed straight to Old Mrs. Ji's yard.

As soon as she walked into the yard of Mrs. Ji, Master Ji San came out of the upper room, walked down the steps a few steps, and quickly walked to Ji Xiaotang. The uncle and nephew were relatively still for a moment, and they quickly looked each other all over. Seeing that although the other party was tired but not injured, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiaotang!" Master Ji San reached out and picked up Ji Xiaotang.

Although Ji Xiaotang's size had reached Master Ji San's shoulder, Master Ji San picked up Ji Xiaotang and seemed to be the little girl who only reached his waist.

Even though the uncle and nephew were very close, as Ji Xiaotang grew up year by year, Master Ji San had not hugged Ji Xiaotang for a long time. He was obviously too excited at this time.

"Uncle, let me go, and think I'm a little kid!" Ji Xiaotang felt warm in his heart. He reached out and hugged Master Ji San for a moment, but then smiled and said angrily.

Only then did Master Ji San put Ji Xiaotang down with a smile, and the two of them entered the room as they spoke.

The Ji family gathered in Old Mrs. Ji's house. The house was obviously robbed, but it was cleaned up neatly. Old Mrs. Ji sat on the kang, and under the kang were Mrs. Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er. Changsheng was not in the house. He was just now taken into the inner room by the wet nurse to sleep.

Madam Cheng was not in the house. At this moment, she was taking the servants from the mansion to clean up and organize them everywhere with her servants.

As soon as Master Ji San entered the door, he was greeted by Mrs. Ji. Mrs. Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er were busy asking about Ji Xiaotang’s situation in the county government and how Mrs. Xie was doing.

"Uncle Xie has gone..." Ji Xiaotang briefly told the matter about the county government office, but just temporarily concealed the Xie family tree.

Everyone in the room sighed. ()

"Why can't she think so?" Mrs. Ji Er burst into tears.

"My uncle has always been very strong, and she obviously does not agree with Uncle Xie's actions." Ji Xiaotang said. Mrs. Xie is not the kind of person who can live in vain.

"That's fine." Mrs. Ji Er was sad for a moment, but in fact she understood Mrs. Xie's choice in her heart. "In this way, she would avoid suffering all those sins."

Afterwards, Mrs. Ji Er asked about Mrs. Xie’s funeral.

"I have already told Ayou that Ayou said he would do his best." Ji Xiaotang told Mrs. Ji Er.

"That's good." Mrs. Ji Er nodded, "She has no one else to do for her now. I can't do anything else. I always have to help her in this."

After talking about Mrs. Xie, the topic turned to Master Ji San again.

"Uncle, you..." Ji Xiaotang was about to complain to Master Ji San.

However, as soon as she spoke, she was intercepted by Master Ji San.

"Xiaotang, I agree with you in other things. Only this thing is true. You are very unwilling to your uncle." Master Ji San said Ji Xiaotang was sorry to him. "I knew something might happen in Qingyuan, so why didn't you tell me? I could also bring people back in advance. The family is in trouble. Why just let me hide and be a turtle with a head-reducing turtle!"

"It would be fine if you don't let someone tell me, but you also asked that boy Ayou to plot against me and trip me up! If I hadn't noticed something was wrong, I'm afraid I'm still on the road at this time and I don't know anything. Xiaotang, if you have any good things, how can you please make me feel at ease from now on!"

Master Ji San blamed Ji Xiaotang and was very excited.

But Ji Xiaotang couldn't refute his accusations, so he could only listen with laughter. In the past, Master Ji San was the one who always laughed with him.

Master Ji Er waited for Master Ji San to finish scolding him, and his mood calmed down a little before he started to persuade Master Ji San.

"Xiaotang is also considering the overall situation of our family. Third brother, don't blame her. Look, aren't everyone safe now?"

Old Mrs. Ji also knew Ji Xiaotang’s arrangement at this moment. She felt deeply that Ji Xiaotang’s affection for Master Ji San.

"What qualifications do you have to criticize Xiaotang!" Old Mrs. Ji turned to criticize Master Ji San, "Do you want to tell you that something is going to happen at home and you want you to come back and die? There are so many thieves. What can you do when you come back? Keep you outside, no matter what the family is like, and there is always someone who wants to pass on the incense of Ji family. You can also avenge the family, right?"

When Mrs. Ji said this, Master Ji San lowered his head and his eyes were slightly red.

"Even if someone wants to stay outside, it should be the second brother, Xiaotang, Xiaoyun and Changsheng. I am a loser and I will not lose if I fight those thieves."

"What nonsense!" Master Ji Er glared at Master Ji San and refused to let him continue talking.

"Xiaotang's arrangement is very good." Old Mrs. Ji said again. This is referring to Ji Xiaotang's arrangement for someone to let Mr. Ji San stay outside. "But, you kid, just think about us. You don't care about yourself at all. How old are you? My old woman has lived for many years and is still sufficient. I should be outside and hold back the thieves. You sisters should live well."

This topic is raised again, and then the debate will continue to continue.

Ji Xiaotang immediately changed the subject.

"Uncle, where is the food you brought back now?" Ji Xiaotang asked Master Ji San.

"I noticed something was wrong and rushed back early. The food is still in Jiangjiaji, with a fleet and a group of people. The elite troops sent by Ayou are protecting it. The food is very safe and I guess it will be transported to Qingyuan today." Master Ji San replied hurriedly.

Master Ji Er praised him repeatedly.

Master Ji San’s food was too timely. Now there is shortage of food everywhere, and Qingyuan has experienced such a disaster again. These foods are not only the foundation of life-saving, but also can calm people’s hearts down.

As everyone was talking, Old Mrs. Ji couldn't help but ask about Mr. Ji San's experience of going out to sea in the past few months. Mr. Ji San did not mention any of the difficulties and dangers encountered during this trip to sea. He also deliberately said a few interesting things, which made Mrs. Ji smile on his face, and the atmosphere in the room became much easier and faster.

"If you don't say it, but you can't hide it from me, you must have suffered a lot. You see, you are dark and thin now, which makes people feel distressed." Old Mrs. Ji said again. "≤,

Old Mrs. Ji's words were true, and everyone in the room could see it.

"Old lady, I'm pulling a long strip. As for blackness, there are no ones that are not black on the boat. I am a big man, not a delicate little girl, so why are you afraid of being black? Are you worried about not getting married?" Master Ji San said with a smile.

He said this and made everyone laugh again.

Master Ji San has indeed grown much taller. Although Mrs. Ji felt distressed, she was also very relieved at the same time.

After the disaster, the relatives reunite, everyone had a lot to say, but there was still too much aftermath that they needed to do, so they said a little more and then started discussing.

"Home Shen's hometown is in trouble." Ji Xiaotang said about what happened to Zhang Ming, "I will beat the manager in a while and take Shen Yao and his brother to the shantytown. If it is inconvenient to recover from the injury there, depending on what Mr. Shen means, it is better to take him home."

"Okay." Mr. Ji Er nodded immediately. He also knew about the situation of the victims in the city. He also ordered people to prepare food, clothing and medicine to take them to the place where the victims temporarily lived.

"Why didn't you see your uncle and the others..." Old Mrs. Ji couldn't even interfere in these things. She just listened from the side and thought of Uncle Gu.

Suddenly, Master Ji Er and Ji Xiaotang both stopped talking.

Mrs. Ji didn't know about the incident of Mrs. Gu and his men attacking the back corner of the Ji family. Mr. Ji exchanged a glance with Ji Xiaotang, and they both felt that Mrs. Ji would know about this sooner or later. Instead of hearing about it from others, they might as well tell her now.

"Old lady, don't be sad and angry." Master Ji Er said.

Old Mrs. Ji immediately noticed something was wrong and looked at Master Ji nervously.

"The old lady also knows that many of the thieves who came to attack our Ji family were brought by Jiang Qingshan. The uncle and the servant were too close to him, perhaps because they were bewitched by him..." Master Ji Er said as tactfully as possible.

"... I want to make money with people, thanks to the strange thing in the Tianzhuang Head, otherwise, I'm afraid that a large number of thieves will come into the mansion before we can hide." Ji Xiaotang continued.

Old Mrs. Ji's expression changed.

"Then, where is he now?" asked Old Mrs. Ji, her voice trembling obviously.

"...The sword has no eyes..." Master Ji Er said a little vaguely, only telling Mrs. Ji that Mrs. Gu was dead in the chaos of internal strife of the other party.

Old Mrs. Ji was silent for a while and then shed tears. She didn't say much, but just instructed Mr. Ji to find Mr. Gu's body and bury him well.

"Where are you going to see Yandai Hutong?" Then Old Mrs. Ji asked again.

"I must have ordered the manager to arrange someone." Master Ji Er said, "I believe there will be news in a while."

As Master Ji Er said, news came soon after that from Yandai Hutong. The in charge had already sent people to Yandai Hutong, but because he knew that Mr. Gu was rigging and led people to attack Ji's mansion, he did not rush to report to Mr. Ji'er.

The Ji family was besieged, and Gu Laojiu was one of the main war generals, but Gu Laojiu's home was not out of the way. Not only that, some of the thieves knew that Gu Laojiu had garrisoned a lot of Jiang Qingshan's property and specially visited Gu Laojiu's home.

"...It has been robbed by the thieves, and a big hole has been dug on the kang in the upper room." The in charge of the business reported that Mrs. Xiang Ji and Mr. Ji Er, "The servants in the family have also suffered from difficulties."

"Where is the uncle and Xue'er?" Old Mrs. Ji asked hurriedly.

"Uncle, I've gone...." Jiang's body was found in the upper room. It seemed that he had been tortured before his death. I guess it was the thieves who forced her to tell where the gold and silver were hidden.

The large amount of gold and silver from Mr. Gu’s family was hidden in the kang hole, so the thieves dug up the kang that was in the room.

Jiang's death, as for Gu Xueer..., the manager said that Gu Xueer's body was not found.

"Let's look for it again, go find it again..." Old Mrs. Ji said repeatedly. Although she didn't like Gu Xueer very much, Gu Xueer is now the only bloodline left by Uncle Gu and the only bloodline of the Gu family.

The in charge did not agree immediately. Instead, he looked at Master Ji Er.
To be continued...
