Hidden in the court

Chapter 188 I want to ask you something

The next morning, Ji Mingshang and the other two arrived at the Wang family’s meeting place.

If you were to say that the Taiyuan royal family had been disbanded over the years, these people might have had a hard time. Now the people in this hall are of all kinds, some well-dressed, some poorly dressed, some black and some white. Some walking in the streets, some shouting and singing...

At first glance, one would think that this was a meeting of the Beggars' Sect.

However, there have been some good ones among them, such as the ones who are sitting here now.

Those people, though they were all sitting there, looked old and frail, but they all had a little cunning hidden in their eyes. They deserved the eight words "white-haired common man, grey-bearded old thief".

In Ji Mingshang's words, "What a bunch of old things!"

At this moment, people were still coming in one after another, and the room seemed a little crowded.

Seeing that there was no sign of the conversation starting anytime soon, the three of them dispersed and went about their business.

Ji Mingshang ran around and finally spotted a ragged young man who seemed to be walking alone. This kid was good, he looked honest and would answer whatever he was asked.

She walked forward, put her arm around his neck, and leaned her shoulder against him.

"Why are you here? I had a hard time looking for you. How have you been these years?"

The young man in his arms was dumbfounded. "Big brother, who are you? Do I know you?" But everyone present was from the same family, so they were all related. If he was a distant relative, it would be bad to say the wrong thing.

As he thought about it, the boy spoke cautiously.

"Um, brother, you are my..."

Ji Mingshang's expression suddenly changed and he slapped him on the head.

"You are so ungrateful, have you forgotten that I am the eldest child of your third uncle's niece's cousin's aunt's family? I held you in my arms when you were little! I was the one who helped you with the grass chopping and blasting of the dung pile."

"Oh……"

Ji Mingshang spoke in a serious tone, but the young man really had no impression of what he said. However, he was not sure, mainly because he did not want to offend this relative. Looking at what he was wearing, and then looking at himself, he had no skills to rely on, and his life was really miserable these years.

Judging from Ji Mingshang's appearance, we are all relatives, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to help me now.

Thinking of this, he called out softly and tentatively.

"elder brother…"

Ji Mingshang hugged him and slapped him again.

"Snapped--"

This time the sound was much louder than last time, and the young man was stunned.

"Brother, what the hell, didn't I tell you? I'm the eldest son of your third uncle's niece's cousin's aunt's family. Are you calling me brother? You have no respect for your elder brother."

The young man thought for a moment, shrank his neck, moved his feet lightly, looked at Ji Mingshang's slap, and called out again tentatively.

"Uncle?"

"Hmm~"

Seeing Ji Mingshang humming with satisfaction, the young man thought that it was the right thing to do and slowly relaxed.

"Uncle, I have an unwelcome request."

"speak."

"I want to borrow some money."

"What do you want money for?"

The young man stopped talking and looked down at the tattered clothes he was wearing.

Ji Mingshang smiled slightly, "No hurry, after the meeting today, I'll take you to buy some clothes and have a good meal. We don't know when the meeting will start, what if it starts right after you and I leave? Besides, what if we can't even squeeze through the door later?"

The young man thought it made sense and smiled happily.

"Don't be silly yet, uncle wants to ask you something..."
