And Gu Yong, who had been very calm and wise in the Gu family before, now also had a sad face and began to complain: "Although the Zhou Tai you met is arrogant, he has no brains, so he can be fooled! Luo Yang arranged for Wu Jun The prefect Jiang Qin is very cunning! Less than half a month after he took office, he pulled out all the hidden nails that our Gu family and the Lu family had placed in the prefect’s mansion! As a result, what is Jiang Qin doing every day? We are No idea at all! And Jiang Qin launched surprise attacks every once in a while. We have very few shops and farmland left in Wu County, and we can only rely on the income from other places to maintain our daily expenses! But this We can’t support it for much longer!”
In response to Gu Yong's words, Lu Kang, who was also in Wujun, nodded repeatedly, as if he felt sorry for me. It seems that the Lu family is not much better! At this time, the three of them seemed to have suddenly found someone. Like close friends, you and I began to talk about the misery of our families one by one. When it came out from their mouths, it really felt sad to hear it and shed tears to the listener!
As for the two hosts of the Wei family, Wei Teng wanted to interrupt several times after hearing this, and also talked about the misfortune of their Wei family. You must know that the Wei family, as the head of the four great families, is certainly the most powerful, but this time The loss was also the biggest! But every time Wei Teng was about to speak, he saw his father's eyes and held back his words!
Wei Jie looked at the children of the other three aristocratic families who were sitting down, discussing which family seemed to be more miserable. He then looked back at his son, who looked eager to try. In Wei Jie's heart, that was Full of bitterness. The younger generation of the Gu family, Yu family and Lu family are not simple people. Compared with the Wei family, his son is far behind! The wily Wei Jie could see it at a glance. The three little foxes were not complaining, they were clearly setting a trap for the Wei family!
If Wei Jie and Wei Teng couldn't help but interject a few words, I'm afraid these three little foxes would immediately admit that the Wei family had the biggest loss among the four great families. But since your Wei family has the biggest loss, then fight with Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai , The Wei family should take the lead! In this case, wouldn’t the Wei family be the cannon fodder of the four major families? Even if they win in the end, the Wei family will definitely suffer the greatest loss. If they lose, the three major families will definitely suffer. Without hesitation, they put all the blame on the Wei family, and then the Wei family became their scapegoat! Tsk tsk! These three little foxes are indeed not easy people!
While sighing in his heart, Wei Jie couldn't help but worry about his son. In fact, his son was not stupid, but compared with these three little foxes, he was far behind. How could this make Wei Jie feel at ease in the future? Let him take care of the Wei family? It's a pity that the head of the Wei family has a small family. Otherwise, it would be good to change the heir and let Wei Teng live peacefully for the rest of his life!
However, there is no need for Wei Jie to take this matter too seriously for the time being. Since he has seen through the tricks of these three little foxes, Wei Jie will naturally not fall for their tricks. He simply glares at Wei Teng and warns him not to talk too much. Wei Jie just closed his eyes, out of sight and out of mind, and let the little foxes make noise there.
"This old fox!" When Wei Jie positioned Gu Yong and the others as little foxes, watching Wei Jie close his eyes and meditate, Gu Yong and the other two cursed in their hearts at the same time. Seeing Wei Jie's reaction, How could they not guess that Wei Jie had seen through their intentions? It seemed impossible to get Wei Jie and his son to take the initiative to speak. But Gu Yong and the other two were ordinary people, so the three of them glanced at each other. , Gu Yong suddenly turned to Wei Teng, who was anxiously beside him, and asked: "Brother Wei! I wonder what the loss of the Wei family is this time?"
"Uh!" Wei Teng couldn't help but be startled when he heard Gu Yong's question. Before, Gu Yong and the three of them were talking to themselves, and Wei Teng could pretend not to hear anything. Now that the question was asked about him, he
He had to answer, right? But thinking of his father's warning before, Wei Teng didn't know what to say. For a moment, he looked at Gu Yong and then at Wei Jie with a troubled face, not knowing how to answer.
Sighing, Wei Jie became more and more disappointed with his son, but now that Gu Yong had asked, Wei Jie simply opened his eyes, shook his head and smiled: "Although our Wei family has suffered some losses, we are still better than
I don’t want you three great families! I’m afraid it’s also because our Wei family’s family fortune is too small, so Zhou Manzi doesn’t like it!”
Hearing Wei Jie crying about his poverty, Gu Yong and the other three wanted to go up and punch him! How could the Wei family still be called a small family? How big could their three aristocratic families have? What about other aristocratic families in Jiangdong?
It can't even be called having a family business! Seeing that the old fox refused to let go, Gu Yong and the other two couldn't help it. The three of them looked at each other. The Wei family didn't stand up, and the three of them were even more unwilling to stand up. As a result, the entire
The hall fell into silence again, and no one was willing to speak anymore. As for Wei Jie, he closed his eyes and said nothing. Let's see who can survive!
For the children of aristocratic families, the interests of their own family must always come first. No one is willing to take the initiative to sacrifice the interests of their own family, so everyone is just stuck here. But these few are surprisingly patient.
, more than an hour passed like this, and still no one was willing to speak. This was really painful for Wei Teng. He was so depressed by the atmosphere in the hall that he felt sad all over. He wanted to speak every time, but when he saw everyone
With that gloomy face, he really couldn't speak.
"Master! Young master!" At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door. It was a servant of the Wei family shouting outside the closed door.
As soon as he heard this voice, Wei Teng finally found the opportunity to speak, and shouted: "What's the matter? Didn't I explain it before? We are discussing business here, and no one is allowed to disturb us!"
The servant seemed frightened by Wei Teng's words, and hurriedly replied: "Master, it's not that I disobeyed the order, but someone came outside and said that I must see the master! That's why I came here."
Report to the master!"
"Nonsense!" Wei Teng seized the opportunity to vent all the depression in his heart, and yelled loudly: "How dare you come to disturb our discussion? Are you impatient? Why don't you hurry up and get rid of that person?"
Get out of here, you bastard! How can I meet my father just by asking?"
The servants outside the door were about to burst into tears. He knew very well that if he couldn't give Wei Jie and Wei Teng a satisfactory explanation, even now he would run out and kill the visiting woman.
Damn it, I can't escape death in the end! Suddenly, as if he remembered something, the servant hurriedly took out something from his arms and said to the closed door: "By the way! Master! Give that man to the young one."
Something, I told you to show this thing to the master and several of his distinguished guests, the master will definitely meet him!"
Wei Teng was too lazy to care about anything, and even if he wanted to yell and scold, at this moment, Wei Jie, who had his eyes tightly closed, suddenly opened his eyes, and the cold light in his eyes disappeared in a flash. This thing is not possible
Simple! This was Wei Jie's first thought. The other party's words seemed to mean that he knew that he was discussing matters with the Gu family, Yu family and Lu family! How is this possible? During this gathering, the four major families were very careful.
Afraid of being caught by Zhou Tai, how could others find out? Immediately, Wei Jie stopped Wei Teng and said, "Teng'er, sit down! Someone is here! Send the things over!"
Not only Wei Jie but also Gu Yong also heard something strange and became curious about the person who came to visit. Who is this person? Could it be Zhou Tai's person? No! If Zhou Tai knew about it,
The four major aristocratic families gathered together secretly again, and I'm afraid that what came was not just one person, but an army! But if it weren't for Zhou Tai, who else in Kuaiji City would be so powerful?
Just when everyone was completely confused, the door of the hall was pushed open, and a servant dressed like a butler cautiously raised his waist, holding something like a token in his hand, and moved towards Wei Jie
He walked over. Seeing that the servant was still a few steps away from Wei Jie, Yu Fan suddenly seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly shouted: "Wait a minute! Master Wei! Be careful, this thing is a scam!"
"
Yu Fan's shout not only startled everyone present, but the servant was so frightened that he lay on the ground without daring to move. He held the thing in his hands and kept shaking.
But he didn't dare to throw that thing away. After Wei Jie heard what Yu Fan said, he realized that it would be dangerous if someone got something dangerous on that thing and wanted to harm him.
! Be careful of the ten thousand year ship! Wei Jie immediately turned to the servant with a gloomy face and shouted: "Pick up that thing and show it to us!"
Obviously Wei Jie had the idea of sacrificing the servant. If there was really something wrong with this thing, the servant would be the one who died. How could the servant think so much? After hearing Wei Jie's instructions, he
He carefully picked up the token, slowly raised it above his head, and showed it to Wei Jie in front of him.
If you look at it this way, it is indeed just a very ordinary token. It seems to be carved out of wood, with a layer of black paint painted on it. It looks particularly thick and heavy. When I showed this side to Wei Jie,
Carved with a vivid tiger head, the face is ferocious, as if there is a real tiger that is about to pounce at any time and anywhere!
Looking at the token, Wei Jie couldn't help but frown. He didn't seem to see anything wrong with it. He had no impression of the token at all. He was sure that he had never seen it before. He shook his head. Could it be that the other party was just here?
Is it a pretense? But what's the point of this? Wei Jie suddenly remembered that he seemed to have told others to see it, so he said to the servant: "Let a few guests have a look!"
