Chapter 281 Fighting Between Clans
Wei Tiande and Wei Shixun expressed their difficulties, and Lin Hao understood them very well.
More than 20 years ago, the Internet and technology at that time were not as developed as they are now, and surveillance was rarely seen in cities.
Without big data or Skynet cameras, it would have been very difficult to find a missing person even at that time, let alone more than twenty years later.
Lin Hao also tried to find the woman who had troubled him in his dreams for many years, Mu Wanqiu, the former young lady of the martial arts family who had been missing for eighteen years, but even the intelligence agencies of the military were unable to find her.
The Wei family is just a first-class family in the provincial capital, so how could it be so easy to find a baby girl from more than 20 years ago.
But Mr. Du didn't care about this. He sneered at Wei Tiande: "Brother Tiande, if you can't even help me with this little thing, then I will have no choice but to leave the Wei family. If anything happens to your Wei family in the future,
Maybe I can’t control it anymore.”
Hearing what Mr. Du said, Wei Shixun turned pale with panic, and even Wei Tiande, who had always been as steady as a mountain, moved slightly.
"Mr. Du, please give us a little more time. I will definitely do my best to spread all the Wei family's intelligence network, and I will definitely find the baby girl from back then."
Wei Tiande assured Mr. Du, but he did not have much confidence in his heart.
Mr. Du sneered and said: "That's about it. I will give you three more days. If there is no news after three days, then I will say goodbye. You, the Wei family, just wish yourselves the best!"
After saying that, Mr. Du walked away.
If you don't know them, you might think that Mr. Du is the head of the Wei family, and that Wei Tiande and Wei Shixun are as humble as his servants.
After a long time, Wei Tiande shook his head and smiled bitterly, slowly walked back to the tea table, and sighed: "I'm sorry, something happened at home, which made Mr. Lin laugh."
He and Wei Shixun originally wanted to avoid Lin Hao and go to the living room to see Mr. Du. Unexpectedly, Mr. Du barged into the study unreasonably and questioned Lin Hao in front of him.
This made both Wei Tiande and Wei Shixun a little embarrassed and felt very embarrassed.
Lin Hao said lightly: "It doesn't matter."
Wei Zuer asked: "Grandpa, what is going on? Although Mr. Du saved your life, he shouldn't be so rude!"
Wei Tiande had a wry smile on his face. Lin Hao and Wei Zuer had seen it anyway, so he had nothing to hide.
"Du Xichuan saved my life more than 20 years ago, so I owe him a huge favor, but we have not been in contact for more than 20 years.
But just some time ago, he suddenly came to the Wei family. The scars on his face made me almost unrecognizable to him. Remembering that he had saved my life, I treated him with good food and drinks.
Unexpectedly, he actually wanted to use the power of the Wei family to help him find a baby girl. The baby girl was lost by him twenty-two years ago, and he said he must find it back."
Hearing this, Lin Hao frowned slightly: "Is that baby girl Mr. Du's child?"
Wei Shixun, who was standing nearby, said: "Probably not, because Du Xichuan asked us to use all means to find the whereabouts of the baby girl. If necessary, we can even injure or knock her out, and then take her back to the Wei family. If it is his daughter, he
You would never say such a thing."
Lin Hao nodded slightly. What Wei Shixun said was true. The people they sent to Longjiang to find Qiao Kexin were indeed unscrupulous, even kidnapping Cheng Yuxuan's parents.
Wei Zuer said doubtfully: "But grandpa, you don't need to be so afraid of Mr. Du! Our Wei family has tried our best, but we can't find him. If he wants to leave, just let him leave."
Wei Shixun said impatiently: "What do you know? Although our Wei family is a first-class family in the provincial capital, it is not the strongest in the provincial capital.
Just a month ago, the Fu family, also a first-class family in the provincial capital, took a fancy to the blood Ganoderma lucidum collected by our Wei family and wanted to spend five million to buy it.
But that blood Ganoderma lucidum is now worth at least 200 million, so of course I won't agree.
Unexpectedly, the Fu family would team up with other families to impose sanctions on our Wei family. However, we are also a first-class family in the provincial capital, and we were able to withstand all the pressure in the end.
However, they never expected that the Fu family would actually find an intermediate martial master, who not only defeated the junior martial master worshiped by our Wei family, but also threatened to destroy the Wei family.
If it weren't for Du Xichuan's sudden arrival at the Wei family and repelling the mid-level martial master from the Fu family, I'm afraid our Wei family would have been expelled from the provincial capital long ago.
Once Du Xichuan leaves the Wei family, the Fu family will definitely target the Wei family again and send that mid-level warrior to come and cause trouble.
Your grandfather and I had no choice but to agree to Du Xichuan to help him find the baby girl he lost more than 20 years ago, and tried every means to keep her in the Wei family."
Wei Shixun finished speaking in one breath, then asked the woman wearing an apron to pour him a cup of tea, picked up the cup, blew on it twice to cool it down, and drank it all in one gulp.
Wei Tiande couldn't help but frown when he saw this scene. Wei Shixun drank hundreds of thousands of taels of tea like this, just like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit. It was a waste of natural resources.
Lin Hao was secretly wondering whether the Fu family Wei Shixun mentioned was the same family as the Fu Chongyang he had met before in Cangnan Mountain.
After the duel between Lin Hao and Jiang Zhongshan that day, he chased Lin Xiao and killed him. He happened to meet Fu Chongyang outside the wolf den, and Fu Chongyang said that he was from Fu's family in the provincial capital.
Because the old man in the family was seriously ill, the Kyoto alchemist master who was invited to treat the old man said that refining medicine required wolf hearts and snake gallbladders, and asked the Fu family to send people to Cangnan Mountain to exterminate the mutated wolves and giant pythons.
If it is really that family, they may want to seize the Wei family's Blood Ganoderma for the purpose of refining medicine.
Wei Zuer really didn't expect that during the time he left the provincial capital, he fell into the hands of human traffickers and so many things happened to the Wei family.
She said angrily: "The Fu family are so overbearing, don't they, the provincial chief and Director Kou, care about them?"
Just now, Wei Jiajun and the guardian wanted to deal with Lin Hao, but Zhang Jun and Kou Tianyou both stepped in to stop him. The Fu family threatened to destroy the Wei family, and even sent Zhongji Martial Master to attack the Wei family. How could the officials ignore it?
Wei Shixun was very disdainful of Wei Zuer and said in a cold voice: "So you have long hair and short knowledge. I don't know that the official people will never interfere with such a fight between families."
Wei Zuer was very puzzled: "Why don't they care? Don't they care if someone loses their life?"
Wei Shixun simply folded his sleeves and sat down, too lazy to answer Wei Zuer's stupid question.
Lin Hao couldn't bear to see Wei Zuer's embarrassment and said calmly: "In recent decades, family power in China has developed rapidly. Almost all families have trained bodyguards, and some even trained private soldiers. This is more or less correct.
Official power creates a threat.
Therefore, overt and covert fights between families, even if there are firefights that cause casualties, are the results that the official hopes to see. Only when family forces check and balance each other and consume each other can the official authority be more stable."
"Oh." Wei Zuer nodded as if he understood.
In fact, there were some deeper inside stories that Lin Hao did not reveal.
That is, when there is peace among these big families, some high-level officials will even secretly provoke conflicts among them and let them fight to the death, in order to achieve the purpose of reducing the power of the family.
There is also the Martial Alliance supported by the government. In addition to checking and balancing the martial arts sects, it also has a very important task, which is to control the development of martial arts experts within the family forces within the territory.
If a powerful family member is willing to join the Martial Alliance and submit to the officialdom, the Martial Alliance will provide them with protection and even allocate resources to allow them to develop.
If there is a strong martial artist in the family but is unwilling to join the martial alliance and does not work for the government, it is very likely that he will be suppressed and sanctioned by certain forces for no apparent reason.
In fact, the initial starting point of the official high-level officials was good, that is, they wanted to unite all the warrior forces in China so that when necessary, they could do their best to resist the invasion of foreign enemies.
