NCCnovel Chapter 164 A Good Compromise
Chapter 164 A Good Compromise
"Governor Meng, are you serious?!"
An urgent voice sounded, and the speaker was the head of the Huo family - Huo Shulan.
"Of course, there is a record in the thirteenth inning."
Meng Miao nodded.
Huo Shulan's eyes suddenly turned red.
"Finally found it..."
She and Ji Qingyan have been close friends for more than ten years.
On the day Ji Qingyan left, Huo Shulan was angry about her friend's departure and did not go to see her off.
As a result, an accident happened...
Ji Qingyan is dead.
Huo Shulan always felt that it was her fault.
If she could have gone to see Ji Qingyan off, perhaps the tragedy would not have happened and Qingyan would not have died.
In order to make up for her mistake, she has been looking for her best friend's daughter for eighteen years.
But for some reason, Huo Shulan could never find any information about her friend's daughter.
It wasn't until today that she heard news about her best friend's daughter from Meng Miao.
"what is her name?"
Huo Shulan calmed down and asked in a trembling voice.
"Her name is Ji Wei."
Meng Miao didn't say much and answered directly.
She also knew the relationship between Huo Shulan and Ji Qingyan.
"The gentle wind stirs up the waves, scattering them into stars all over the river."
Huo Shulan was a little absent-minded, muttering unconsciously.
She seemed to be back in that night, the night when the sky was filled with stars.
Under the dazzling galaxy is the woman with a smile as beautiful as a flower.
"The gentle wind stirs up the waves, scattering them into stars all over the river.
Shulan, if I have a daughter in the future, how about naming her Ji Wei?
Then you will be her godmother.
As a godmother, you have to prepare a gift for her."
The girl's clear and sweet voice seemed to be right next to Huo Shulan's ears.
……
"Humph, Governor Meng, even if my cousin is in the secret realm, so what? That doesn't mean anything."
Ji Hong came back to his senses and glared at Meng Miao with dissatisfaction.
"That's right, Governor Meng, this doesn't mean anything."
The head of the Qian family also spoke.
"That's right, Governor Meng, please don't bite anyone here."
People kept echoing.
These are the families that have a good relationship with the Ji family.
Meng Miao's expression became increasingly cold, and he snorted in his heart.
'These families are united.'
“Ji Hong, do you dare to swear to heaven and earth that the Ji family has never done anything to Ji Wei?”
She looked at Ji Hong with cold eyes.
Ji Hong's expression changed slightly, and he looked a little unnatural.
Are you kidding? How could he possibly swear an oath to heaven and earth!
The Ji family has known about Ji Wei's existence for a long time, how could they not take action against her!
"Governor Meng, this is a bit unfair.
If there is evidence, just bring it out directly. Why go to this extent?
If I don't swear an oath to heaven and earth, does it mean that my Ji family can be convicted even without evidence?!"
Ji Hong wasn't really stupid and he reacted quickly.
“Yes, Governor Meng, this is inappropriate.
If there is evidence, then bring it out. If we set a precedent today, we won’t need to look at evidence in future investigations. We can just make a vow to heaven and earth instead.”
The head of the Qian family sneered.
The other neutral ministers also looked in agreement.
This precedent cannot be set.
If this is the case, China will be in chaos in the future.
Today you swear an oath to heaven and earth, and tomorrow I will do the same.
Isn't this a joke?
A meeting of cabinet ministers has turned into such a ridiculous thing.
The originally good situation was reversed in an instant.
Huo Shulan frowned, wanting to say something.
Meng Miao was not at all flustered and glanced around.
When she saw Zhang Xian in the corner, her gaze paused for a few seconds imperceptibly.
Others did not notice it, but King Xia saw it clearly.
But he didn't point it out.
There's a good show to watch, why point it out?
It is indeed time to suppress the Twelve Families.
"laugh."
Zhang Xian in the corner sneered, as if he was amused.
"Minister Zhang, what do you mean?"
The head of the Qian family looked at him with a frown.
"Ahem, it's nothing, it's just a joke."
Zhang Xian coughed twice and waved his hands.
'What does he want to do?'
The head of the Qian family was puzzled and didn't understand why Zhang Xian spoke at this time.
He was about to look away when he heard a voice from the corner.
“By the way, if I remember correctly, Governor Meng seemed to have made the Heaven and Earth Oath not long ago.
Hiss, the people of the Twelve Families are more noble than those in the army, and cannot swear an oath to heaven and earth."
Zhang Xian's voice was not loud, as if he was talking to himself.
But except Ji Hong, who among those present is not a master?
Everyone heard his words.
The Qian family head's face suddenly turned ugly.
There are quite a few people here who are in the military.
Suddenly, with a "bang", the table in front of the bald man broke into pieces, and wind and waves swept through the hall.
"You old Qian! Does your Qian family look down on those in the military?!
Without us guarding the front line, can you sit so peacefully in the rear? !
If this is the case, our Anping Army will withdraw from Futuo Rift today! We won't tolerate this.
You guys find a way to garrison there yourself."
The bald man stood up and pointed at the head of the Qian family's nose and cursed.
"Your grandfather! *** Zhang Xian!"
The head of the Qian family also cursed in his heart.
Zhang Xian didn't say it earlier or later, but had to point it out at this time.
Now I’m stuck.
Everyone knows that these warriors are very protective of their people. If they don’t give an explanation today, the Qian family will never have peace in the future.
When the time comes, we will find the crack. Believe it or not, these people will make things difficult for the Qian family.
The head of the Qian family cursed in his heart but smiled apologetically on the surface.
"Brother Wan, it's just a misunderstanding. How could we possibly think that? I can't thank you enough."
He couldn't admit this. If he admitted it, it would spread to all the legions today.
By then, everyone will know that Qian Yuanming looks down on the strong men in the army.
"Don't whine to me, who are you and your brother?
In this case, Meng Miao has already made an oath to heaven and earth, so Ji Hong might as well make one as well.
Anyway, the Ji family definitely didn’t do such a thing. They just made a vow to heaven and earth, which doesn’t have much impact.”
Wan Kuan looked at the head of the Qian family with disdain and suggested a compromise.
"Yes, that's a good idea."
"Yeah, that makes sense."
Although Ji Hong didn't hear what Zhang Xian said, he heard what Wan Kuan said. His face turned pale and he looked at Qian Yuanming for help.
Qian Yuanming was also shocked.
'Don't look at me, idiot!'
At this glance, everyone knows that the Qian family and the Ji family are in cahoots.
"Haha, I think this is a good idea."
Xia Fugui was smiling, looking like he was enjoying the fun.
When he opened his mouth, some people's expressions changed, and some people directly conveyed the message to Xia Fugui.
The Xia family has never helped anyone like this.
Today is...
Xia Fugui was too lazy to pay attention and still had a smile on his face.
Qian Yuanming's face also looked unhappy.
He didn't expect that the Xia family actually supported Meng Miao!
The hall suddenly became quiet and the atmosphere became weird.
Ji Hong didn't dare to speak. He lowered his head like a quail, fearing that as soon as he spoke, the attention would be drawn back to himself.
Meng Miao was also a little surprised. Why would the Xia family help her?
