The Wealthy Son-in-law Is Back

All the big families in the Jin Capital were alarmed.    

A grand sweep suddenly began.    

By the time everyone reacted, one-third of the families of Jindu were affected.    

Jindu, Ji family!    

As the only noble family in Jin City, the Ji family had an extraordinary status. It could be said that they were the leaders of the families.    

All the families followed the Ji family's lead. Their status was even higher than the three noble families in Yanjing!    

In the entire country, even in the capital, they were the number one family.    

In the south, only the Xiao family and the Zhu family could be compared with them!    

It was not because of anything else, but because the Ji family had a Qilin son, Ji Wuming!    

Ji Wuming had joined the army at the age of eighteen, and had made a name for himself in the Northgard at the age of twenty-five. He was known as the Army Vanguard of the Northgard.    

At the age of thirty, he killed countless enemies, and he was the youngest major general in the Northgard.    

Because of him, the Ji family was like a dog that had ascended to the heavens.    

There were even rumors that Ji Wuming had a chance to take another step forward in this year's award ceremony!    

The news might be true if there was no wind, no waves, and no waves.    

At that time, the Ji family would be indescribably expensive!    

Ji Zhiyuan, the current patriarch of the Ji family.    

Ever since his son was awarded the title of honorary official, the Ji family had become one of the top families in the country. The life of the Ji family was simply too enjoyable!    

"Report, patriarch!"    

A servant hurriedly ran in, "Kong, Cao, Yan and Tao Family... They are here to seek an audience with you."    

He reported dozens of names in one breath.    

"Ask them to wait for me in the side hall. They will come in a while!"    

Ji Zhiyuan blew on the tea gently. He was not in a hurry at all.    

He knew what these people were looking for him for. It was nothing more than the cleaning exercise in Jindu this time.    

"Yes!"    

The servant nodded and left.    

In the side hall, there was a hubbub of voices.    

Dozens of first-rate family, more than 20 second-rate families, and more than 30 third-rate families were standing together. They spoke one sentence at a time, but their words were clear and distinct.    

The leader of first-rate family's family head was chatting with the family head of the same level.    

The leader of a second-rate family would never overstep his boundaries.    

In Jin City, the system of aristocratic families seemed to be stricter. This was also the reason why the Wai family was so unscrupulous.    

The first-rate family could indeed run amok in the Jin Capital. Apart from the Ji family, no one could restrict them.    

Everyone waited in the side hall for half an hour, but none of them dared to complain. They didn't even dare to show a trace of dissatisfaction.    

Finally, forty minutes later, Ji Zhiyuan walked over slowly.    

"Everyone, long wait!"    

Ji Zhiyuan cupped his hands at everyone, but there was not a trace of apology on his face.    

Everyone did not care, and even respectfully bowed to Ji Zhiyuan.    

"No, no, no, we just arrived!"    

"We came to disturb the Ji family Master without greeting him. We were rude!"    

"Thank you, Ji family Master, for taking the time out of his busy schedule to come here!"    

Ji Zhiyuan enjoyed listening to their flattery.    

After some pleasantries, Ji Zhiyuan sat at the head seat. Everyone was standing below him, looking at him with eager eyes. No one felt that there was anything wrong with this.    

"I already know why you are here."    

Ji Zhiyuan said faintly, "This time, the Wai family was the one who started this disaster. The Wai family committed crimes, and it's their own fault. You all have to self-reflect."    

"Yes, what the master of the Ji family said is right!"    

"We are all business people, and we didn't do anything reckless."    

"Someone is using the Wai family to stir up trouble behind the scenes and harm the innocent. I hope the Ji family Master will find out!"    

"Please verify this, Ji family Master!"    

Everyone shouted in unison, "Please enlighten us, Ji family Master!"    

Ji Zhiyuan didn't say anything. His eyes swept across the crowd and he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, "If my ass is really so clean, why would I come here?"    

His heart was as clear as a mirror.    

He smiled, "Since this matter has become like this, it's about time to stop. Go back and do your business properly. Don't do anything illegal. When the time comes, don't say that I won't protect you!"    

Hearing this, the families below were overjoyed.    

"Thank you, Master of the Ji family!"    

"As expected of the number one family in Jindu, the leader of the Jindu family!"    

...    

After bootlicking, everyone left with smiles on their faces.    

As long as the Ji family spoke, this matter would basically be settled.    

In Jindu, Ji Zhiyuan's words were more effective than the mayor's.    

Whether it was the underground circles or the underground circles, as long as Ji Zhiyuan spoke, no one would dare to disobey him.    

After everyone left, an old man in his sixties walked up and said, "Master, before young master returned to Northgard, he clearly told you that you are not allowed to interfere in the matters between the aristocratic families. If young master finds out... I'm afraid..."    

"Shut up!"    

Ji Zhiyuan's face darkened, "I'm his father. Do you think he will listen to your son?"    

Ji Zhiyuan had kept his word all these years. Who would dare to disobey him?    

Now that he heard the steward dissuade him, he felt embarrassed, "Old man, if it wasn't for your loyalty to the Ji family, I would have kicked you away long ago!"    

The steward lowered his head and sighed in his heart.    

Ji Zhiyuan had inflated his ego. If this continued, something bad would happen sooner or later.
