Although he had made up his mind to leave the clan as soon as possible, it was hard for Yang Ji to swallow his breath whenever he remembered that he and Uncle Liang were almost poisoned to death.
"'A small amount of money is not a gentleman, and a non-toxic person is not a husband'. I have tolerated it over and over again, but I am still being forced step by step. If I don't find a way to fight back, such things will continue to happen. I can leave the clan, but Uncle Liang can't
.Even if it’s for Uncle Liang, I have to teach them a lesson.”
Yang Ji stood in the room, thinking about it for a long time. When his eyes passed over Xiao Ji on the table, Yang Ji's heart moved and he suddenly had an idea.
…
The night was silent, and for who knows how long, a small sound sounded from a dark corner.
I don't know when, two figures appeared not far from Yang Ji's woodshed. These two people were dressed as guards, and they were obviously members of the Yang clan.
The two of them remained motionless, silently looking at Yang Ji's room like ghosts.
The lights in the room flickered, and the light of the oil lamp reflected Yang Ji's figure reading on the window paper, turning it into a lively silhouette.
"Failed."
After a long time, a whisper of regret sounded in the darkness, inaudible in the night wind.
They came to investigate Yang Ji's life and death, but the situation in front of them clearly indicated that they had failed.
"This kid is really lucky. We were very careful this time, even some old gangsters couldn't find him. How did he find out?"
One of them said, with deep confusion in his voice.
The two of them did this matter in private without telling the "eldest lady". In the lobby that day, the eldest lady originally wanted to deal with Yang Ji, but later "let it go".
The two of them had many scruples when thinking about the "Big Madam" and couldn't use many methods. But they had no such scruples.
As long as this matter is handled secretly, the "big lady" will definitely pay more attention to it in the future. I didn't expect that such a "little matter" would be handled badly.
"There is no other way but to find another way."
The two of them looked at Yang Ji's window in the darkness, with wisps of sinister light passing through their eyes.
Yang Ji is still alive. This result is very unexpected, but for the two of them, it is not irreparable. As long as Yang Ji is still in the clan, there will be many opportunities to take action in the future.
Turning around, the two quietly left.
Hiss!
The grass trembled, and right behind the two of them, a small black snake jumped like flying, disappeared into the grass, and followed quietly.
Behind, after the two people left, the window opened with a creak, and Yang Ji's head emerged from inside.
"Sure enough, it's here."
Yang Ji looked at the direction the two people were leaving, with a cold light shining in his eyes.
His reading in front of the window was just to lure these people. Yang Ji knew that these people would definitely come to investigate his life and death after poisoning him, and the result was as expected.
Due to the distance, Yang Ji didn't hear what they said. But to him, the moment Xiao Ji caught up with them, they were no different from dead people.
…
"Yuan Long" and "Zhao Ye" did not survive the night.
When the two corpses appeared upright in front of the eldest lady and the middle-aged housekeeper, both of them looked solemn.
"How is it? Can you see how they died?"
The eldest lady asked after a long silence.
"I can't tell. I've never seen this kind of poison before."
The middle-aged housekeeper said, his brows furrowed deeply.
Because of his early experiences, he had a wide range of knowledge, but he had never seen such poisonous bodies on the two of them.
It must be said that this is a great irony for a majestic century-old clan with many masters, but someone actually sneaked into the clan and killed two people without even noticing.
"Little beast!"
A cold, hateful light flashed in the eldest lady's eyes. The deaths of Yuan Long and Zhao Ye, she knew without even thinking about it, must be related to Yang Ji.
"I've said it before. This kid is not simple. There may be experts behind him to help him. Now you believe it!"
The middle-aged housekeeper said from behind.
Regarding the fact that Yang Ji had expert guidance behind his back, the two of them were just guessing at first, but now they can basically confirm it.
Yuan Long and Zhao Ye knew exactly why and who died.
Although the eldest lady agreed to leave the matter to her, she was obviously unwilling to do so. She hurriedly hoped to deal with him once and for all. Otherwise, she would not let Yuan Long and Zhao Ye go deal with Yang Ji.
Although it was Yuan Long and Zhao Ye's own initiative to poison Yang Ji's food, he did not believe that the eldest lady would not know about it.
In this large clan, almost nothing can escape her eyes. Her acquiescence speaks volumes about her attitude.
However, the final result was obviously very different from the initial expectations. The person behind Yang Ji turned out to be a master of poison, which the two of them could not help but be wary of.
The deaths of Yuan Long and Zhao Ye were not only a form of revenge, but also a statement - if the two of them dared to continue attacking Yang Ji, more than just the two guards would probably die.
"I admit that I was wrong about this matter."
The eldest lady said coldly: "But, are you just going to let that little beast go?"
She didn't care about the lives of Yuan Long and Zhao Ye. This kind of protection didn't matter at all. They were as many as they wanted. What really made her angry was that Yang Ji actually dared to threaten her in turn.
This is intolerable.
"Hmph! Did I say that?"
The middle-aged housekeeper sneered and said: "I know this matter well. Although poisoners are powerful, as long as they guard against those methods, they may not be able to defeat me. However, in the recent period, where is that boy?
Just don’t do it again.”
"Since you said so, let's just handle this matter together!"
The eldest lady did not comment, quickly took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it over.
"what?"
The middle-aged housekeeper raised his eyebrows and said in surprise.
"That little beast sent it here this morning. It rolled all the way and finally got into my hands. Take a look."
The eldest lady sneered.
"Go up the mountain to guard the tomb?"
After reading this, the middle-aged housekeeper burst out laughing:
"It seems that Yuan Long and Zhao Ye's methods have worked. He doesn't want to stay in the clan and give you another chance to attack."
"Huh, the wings haven't hardened yet, so I can't help him."
The eldest lady's face was solemn, she paused and said:
"Tell me, do you mean to agree or not to agree?"
The middle-aged housekeeper said nothing, his face thoughtful.
"Hey, promise, why don't you agree? If he doesn't leave, can we really attack him in the clan?"
After a while, the middle-aged housekeeper sneered:
"Besides, if you don't let him out, how can you lead out the person behind him?"
"Just do as you say."
The eldest lady pondered for a moment and nodded.
"Filial filial piety comes first among all good deeds" is the righteousness of the clan. She knew in her heart that even if she refused, she wouldn't be able to stop him for long.
…
Yang Ji's application to leave the clan and go up the mountain to guard the tomb was finally approved. The moment he received the reply, Yang Ji felt lighter all over.
"The nights are long and the dreams are many. Leave as soon as possible while the clan agrees."
Yang Ji secretly said, starting to prepare things for going up the mountain.
I still have some dried rabbit meat left over from last year at home, which is enough to support me on the mountain for a while. If it’s not enough, I don’t have to worry about it with my ability to “catch rabbits with bare hands” and Xiao Ji’s help.
As for the rest, it doesn't matter.
Early the next morning, after telling Uncle Liang to be careful and all meals to be tested with silver, Yang Ji took the opportunity to leave the sect.
It was still dark, the streets were misty and there were few pedestrians. A few black figures sat slumped at the base of the wall, motionless, and it was unclear whether they were dead or alive.
Through the heavy fog, you can vaguely see the faces of several beggars.
"They are all poor people."
When Yang Ji passed by these people, he stopped for a moment. He couldn't bear it. He took out a few coins from his arms and threw them over.
The copper plate fell to the ground and made a clanging sound, which was very loud in the early morning.
"young people."
Yang Ji was about to take a step when suddenly a hoarse voice came from behind, and soon two skinny old beggars walked out of the mist. One of them was holding a few coins that Yang Ji had just thrown over, and a pair of black beggars.
He stared at Yang Ji and smiled, very strangely.
A warning sign popped up in Yang Ji's heart. He threw those few coins just out of mercy, but he didn't expect that it would lead to such a change.
Ordinary beggars are obviously not so bold, these two beggars are full of weirdness.
"What do you want to do?"
Yang Ji said in a deep voice, raising his fists slightly in his sleeves in a defensive posture.
"Hey, young man, don't get me wrong. We don't mean any harm."
The older "beggar" smiled and waved his hands. His eyes were bright, and he still looked a little bit like a beggar at this time:
"We have all heard about what happened to you in the Yang family. A good bird chooses the right tree to roost in. Why do you want to stay in such a vicious family? Join us! Only by joining us can you truly
A way out. Your anger, your resentment, we can all help you."
"you?--"
Yang Ji's pupils shrank and he looked at the two of them warily.
"That's right. As long as you faithfully believe in our Lord, you are one of us. No one dares to bully you, ridicule you, or poison your food. Even your father's things, we can help.
You take it back."
The older "beggar" said.
Hiss!
Yang Ji looked at these two beggars with "kind" faces and took a deep breath in his heart.
"Cultist!"
A thought flashed through Yang Ji's mind like lightning.
He had heard of these people in the propaganda of the Han Dynasty. They believed in evil existences from other dimensions, and used bones and flesh to make evil altars to obtain evil power. They were the targets of the full suppression of the court.
In the past, many ignorant and ignorant people have been lured into it, but these people have never appeared.
Yang Ji didn't know much about these people, but it was true that several people in Pingchuan County were lured in, disappeared from the world, and never came back.
These cultists were once wiped out, but they reappeared again for unknown reasons.
