big master, big liar

"Long face, hooked nose, and a mole at the corner of the mouth..." Ji Ni walked up and down in front of Fang Qiutang repeatedly. He learned this habit from Fang Qiutang. When he was anxious and thinking, he would plow the field like an old cow, back and forth go.

Sitting on a chair, Fang Qiutang repeatedly looked at Ji Ni, who was a bit unfamiliar to him: he hadn't been alone with Ji Ni for a long time.

A few years ago, such a situation would have been very common, Fang Qiutang was tossing about his pile of rags, while Ji Ni was standing aside with a smile and asking questions.

Sometimes Fang Qiutang complained to him that business was difficult and customers were difficult to deal with, Ji Ni would share the same hatred with Fang Qiutang, and echoed him repeatedly when he laughed at his partners for being greedy for money and lust.

But in fact, Fang Qiutang has gotten used to not having a noisy figure around her in the past few years.

So when Ji Ni showed that usual smile, Fang Qiutang had a vague illusion.

Nothing has changed.

"I remembered!" Ji Ni's voice brought Fang Qiutang back from his thoughts. "That's the person next to His Royal Highness."

Fang Qiutang narrowed his eyes: "Prince? How could you offend the superior?"

Ji Ni blinked: "It's not an offense, I work for him." He said frankly, but there was no look of awe on his face: "I have the Salt Gang Thirteen, could it be that they fell from the sky?" Is it? It’s always next to a big tree to enjoy the shade.”

"But..." Ji Ni's smile darkened slightly. "I guess it's time for me, too."

Fang Qiutang asked, "When will it be?"

"It's time to leave," Ji Ni's complexion became darker, as if he had thought of something unpleasant. "I'm too popular, and I will be punished sooner or later. It's just that I didn't expect them to start from you."

In fact, Ji Ni knew that when he was favored by the people above, it was because he had no background, was quick-witted, and easy to manage.

It's just that the superiors didn't expect him to grow so rapidly. In just a few years, he has become a big mountain on the salt transportation road, controlling half of the lifeblood of the salt transportation business.

It's just that the superiors won't let him grow up like this.

The scenery of Ji Nitrate is only temporary.

Ji Ni's estrangement from the other party, Qiutang, has selfish resentment, but there may be some reasons for this.

He didn't want his superiors to think that Fang Qiutang was his weakness.

"Didn't expect that?" Fang Qiutang was so angry that his brain hurt, he jumped off the chair, pointed at Ji Ni and cursed. "Did I tell you before that this kind of business is out of the question? You fucking want to be Lu Buwei, and you don't piss and take care of yourself. Do you have that ability? Now you want to let Song Xuan come to the bad things you have done. Take the blame?"

"Young master is right," Ji Ni nodded with a smile. "It's reckless."

His appearance of agreeing and admitting his mistakes is exactly the same as before.

Fang Qiutang couldn't go on talking anymore, he stared at Ji Ni for a long time, then shook his sleeves and wanted to leave: "Forget it, the matter has come to an end, I will go and find a way with Song Xuan, you stay here and you are not allowed to go anywhere, I will come to you again if I have something to do... —”

Ji Ni suddenly hugged him from behind.

"My lord, let's go." Ji Ni said in a low voice.

The voice he called his son was exactly the same as before.

"I thought they would hire someone to assassinate me, but now it seems that I may be of some use to them. They want to use you to blackmail me." Ji Ni's tone gradually became urgent.

"It's true that Brother Song went to buy goods, but the top name is your shop of Fang Qiutang. Once the government opens, it will definitely lead this matter to you."

"At that time, I won't be able to pick you out."

At the end of Ji Ni's speech, he already showed a faint look of anxiety. He pressed Fang Qiutang's shoulders with both hands, and his eyes were already bloodshot: "Young master, you run away. If you run away, they will naturally come to me. "

"Snapped"

Fang Qiutang slapped him.

That slap was so hard and loud that Ji Ni's entire right face became red and swollen.

That peacock-like face suddenly became ridiculous.

Ji Ni stared at him blankly.

"Ji Ni, I'm leaving, what should Song Xuan do?" Fang Qiutang's words did not contain any sarcasm, and he just narrated the question calmly. "What are you going to do?"

"Brother Song will be fine, and I too..."

Ji Ni knew that what he said was a lie.

The higher-ups want to control Fang Qiutang because they regard him as a magic weapon to control Ji Nitrate. Without Fang Qiutang, they are more inclined to get rid of Ji Nitrate directly.

And Song Xuan is an insignificant pawn, it is not impossible to find the source, and to be convicted directly.

Fang Qiutang actually laughed.

He has fox-like eyes, and when he smiles, he always seems to hold back bad water with malicious intentions.

"I originally wanted to apologize to you, but I didn't say it out loud." But this time his smile was slightly gentle and filled with indescribable pride: "But Ji Ni, you really were brought up by me alone." of."

"We will make the same choice."

Even if it is cheating, protect the other party.

Even if the result of the matter will make the other party suffer, even if it is hated.

Ji Ni's pupils suddenly widened.

"Boy, you're still a little tender," Fang Qiutang kicked him triumphantly. "I'm here in a big storm. I really don't care about such a small matter. You wait here for me. I'll go and discuss countermeasures with you, Brother Song."

Ji Ni hurriedly followed: "I'll go too—"

"Don't make trouble for me," Fang Qiutang said with a frown. "This matter started from you. Are you going to the prison with me now because you are afraid that others will not take this matter against you?"

Ji Ni stopped.

"Don't worry, if someone arrests me, I'll just make a floor bunk in the prison, so as not to run around." Fang Qiutang stretched his muscles and was about to go out.

"Young master," Ji Ni lowered his head and moved his lips. "...Come back early."

Just like when Fang Qiutang just brought Ji Ni home, Ji Ni would stand at his door with a smile every day, shouting loudly: "Master, come back earlier."

"Understood, long-winded." Fang Qiutang agreed viciously.

Ji Ni suddenly realized that Fang Qiutang and Brother Song were cleaning up the mess for him again.

Fang Qiutang spoke coolly, but his heart was not without panic.

Although he and Song Xuan have gone through some storms in the past few years, but how can a prince of this level be able to resist charlatans like them?

Thinking that Song Xuan was still in prison, his heart was pounding, thinking that it was really impossible to replace Song Xuan by himself.

There is still some use value for him, so he won't lose his head immediately.

Fang Qiutang was so upset that he pushed open the door, only to see Ji Yunxi standing outside the door leaning on the wall with cold eyes.

He knew immediately that this matter had become a big deal.
