After the discussion was completed, Ji Lianqi felt confident.

He immediately spoke to Ji Hongbao and said, "I agreed to the conditions you just mentioned. Now it's time to fulfill the promise you made."

Ji Hongbao burst into hearty laughter: "Okay, I will immediately give the order to open the door and let your army in."

Ji Hongbao is a businessman, a ruthless man, and a gambler, so he bets that Ji Lianqi will keep his promise.

Of course, he didn't make the bet out of thin air. This was based on two points.

The first point is that he has already asked the people who usually know Ji Lianqi to find out Ji Lianqi's character.

The two biggest characteristics of Ji Lianqi are that he is bold and ruthless, and the second is that he promises a lot of money. It is precisely because of these two characteristics that he can stand out from a group of people and become the top executive of Ji Jiajun.

The second point is that in the current situation, Ji Lianqi needs the help of an old man from the Ji family who is willing to surrender.

Ji Lianqi is a smart man, not a real barbarian. He understands the changes in the situation and assesses the situation. Otherwise, he would not cooperate with the court. He killed Ji Lianyin at the critical moment and went back to the Ji family.

This is a hero!

"Sir, do you really want to open the city gate?" the personal guard next to him asked in a low voice.

"That's natural. The city gate must be opened immediately. How can I, Ji Hongbao, be a person who doesn't keep his word?"

Ji Hongbao's words were righteous and strict.

The guard had no choice but to go down and deliver the order, but he was still complaining. In his opinion, Ji Hongbao had gone back on his word. When had he not been a person who broke his promise? What he valued most was always profit.

However, as a guard, he did not dare to argue with Ji Hongbao openly. He just cursed a few words silently in his heart and hurried down to deliver the message.

No one knew what would happen next. As long as there was a chance, he thought it would be best to get away from Ji Hongbao. Working with him was just hard work with little benefit.

Ji Hongbao was so stingy that it was said that he did not allow his wife and children to eat good breakfast, and only allowed them to eat gruel and pickles.

Such a wealthy businessman is so harsh on his own family, let alone the people around him.

The guard was muttering to himself as he came down to deliver the message.

The guards guarding the gate below took action immediately. They actually didn't want to fight with the people outside. They all knew how much they had, and no one was stupid.

"Open the door, open the door!"

People outside were shouting, and people inside were exerting force. Both sides used force at the same time, and soon they successfully opened the door.

The first ones to rush in were some elite soldiers. They held huge shields in their hands and entered slowly to prevent fraud.

However, this time they thought too much. After entering, the guards on both sides stepped back, leaving a big place for them.

Ji Hongbao, who was originally on the tower, had already come down from the tower and strode forward with a smile on his face.

The visor on his face has been removed, but the helmet has not been removed.

But without the visor, his face could finally be seen clearly by Zi Yan, Ji Lianqi and Qiu Muliang who rode in.

"Welcome, welcome." Ji Hongbao strode forward to greet him with a big smile.

"Good nephew, please introduce these two to me." Ji Hongbao said shamelessly.

"This is Mr. Jiang, the newly appointed governor of Qiu Muliang." Ji Lianqi said simply.

"Young Master Jiang, Governor Qiu, you two adults, I have admired you for a long time. I see you two are like a dragon or a phoenix among people. Being able to visit the Ji family today really brings glory to the Ji family." Ji Hongbao boasted vigorously.

Several old people who came with him felt a little burning on their faces, but they admired Ji Hongbao's shamelessness.

"Okay, take us to where the head of the family is and resolve this matter as soon as possible." Zi Yan said calmly.

After Ji Hongbao heard this, he looked at Ji Lianqi.

"Young Master Jiang means what I mean. You can lead the way. After settling the matter of the head of the family, we will convene a meeting in the council hall to discuss the future of the Ji family." Ji Lianqi said.

"Okay, let's set off immediately." Ji Hongbao nodded immediately and said towards the back: "Everyone, let's go, get on the horse and go, hurry up."

The soldiers around had already brought several horses over, just one for each person.

The interior of Ji's house is criss-crossed, and it looks like a large town. The streets are paved with blue stones, which are stacked on top of each other. They are very tight and wide. It is just right to ride a horse on them, and you can quickly go to the interior where the owner of the house lives.

courtyard.

The courtyard where the owner of the house is located does not look very luxurious from the outside, but when you walk inside, you immediately feel that there are hills and valleys inside.

The rocks, screens, glazed windows, etc., are all exquisitely arranged. It is obvious that they were arranged by real gardening experts, and their value is inestimable.

But after Zi Yan and a group of people stepped into the courtyard gate, they felt something was wrong.

The atmosphere inside was very depressing. When the maid appeared, everyone's eyes were red and looked quite gloomy.

"The head of the family, Ji Qingyu, lives there. Alas, he coughed up blood and fainted and was sent back." Ji Hongbao sighed.

Although he was sighing, there was no emotion or sadness in his tone. It was obvious that he had no feelings about the terminal illness of the family leader, Ji Qingyu, who coughed up blood.

"Go in and take a look." Ji Lianqi stepped forward and rushed inside. His heartbeat was speeding up. This feeling was so wonderful.

How many times have I only imagined in my dreams that one day I will be able to stride into the owner's courtyard, inherit the entire Ji family, and trample under my feet those who once looked down on him.

This feeling of turning over and becoming the master is really great.

"Ji Hongbao, are you here to force me to have a baby so soon?" A housekeeper inside pointed at Ji Hongbao, his face twisted.

"He who knows the current affairs is a hero. Look at the current situation. The family leader Ji Qingyu is gone. Why do you have to hang on to the new family leader? If you join the new family leader early, you can still stutter. Otherwise, you will die without a burial place." Ji Hongbao

He said proudly that he was not ashamed but proud.

"Ji Hongbao, you villain, if I die today, I won't let you go!" The housekeeper looked angry, turned around and hit the stone pillar next to him. His brains burst out and he died. His death was extremely tragic.

Ji Hongbao's heart sank. This miserable situation made people feel uncomfortable after all.

However, he took a few deep breaths and finally suppressed the discomfort.

"This bitch." Ji Hongbao cursed secretly.

"Let's go in." Ji Lianqi also took a deep breath and strode forward inside.

He was wondering, how would the once aloof family leader look when he met him?
