This news was like a thunder, and it quickly spread among the big houses. Everyone became busy with the news. It was obvious that this young man known as the Eighth Young Master occupied a lot of space in this big house.
important position.
This is the Wei family, the Li Ling Wei family. The past 20 to 30 years have been the most prosperous period of the Wei family, especially in the past few years, the name of the Nine Tigers of the Wei family has become very loud around Luo Ma Lake and Li Ling Mountain.
When the young man was about to cross the threshold, he couldn't help but take a step back and looked up at the door plaque above his head. He seemed to be reminiscing about something.
Li Ling is three hundred miles away, and he is the first hero.
When the young man walked towards the second door of the mansion, many people swarmed out. Seeing these people, a smile appeared on the young man's face, and he quickened his steps to greet them.
"Eighth brother is back."
The leaders of the group smiled more cordially and gathered around the young man to greet him. He was a little unhappy and felt that no one could see him. At this time, the young man's eyes passed through the crowd and landed on a standing old man behind him.
"Dad." The young man stepped forward quickly, and everyone gave way. He walked up to the old man in a few steps, knelt down and said, "My son is back."
"Old Eight." This old man's name is Wei Tong, and he is the head of the Wei family. He is probably about sixty years old, and he is extremely energetic. His body is as if it were made of steel bars, and he does not look old or lazy at all.
Wei Tong laughed loudly and raised his hand to signal the young man to stand up: "I thought you wouldn't come back until after the Mid-Autumn Festival, but I guessed wrong this time."
"My son didn't dare to stop too much along the way. After finishing his work, he rushed home."
The father and son don't talk much, but it can be seen from Wei Tong's expression and actions that he attaches great importance to his eighth son. Although there are seven brothers above Wei Tong, these seven brothers have already taken the limelight.
Weiba was completely suppressed.
"Go back to the middle courtyard." Wei Tong greeted everyone and turned around. Wei Ba accompanied him and walked slowly. The others probably knew that the father and son had something important to say, so they deliberately kept a certain distance from each other. Only
I was confused and couldn't grasp the importance, so I wanted to move closer, but as soon as my body moved, I was pulled back.
As Wei Tong walked, he unconsciously glanced at Wei Ba beside him. Wei Tong was the head of the family, and the Wei family was also a powerful force, leading a party. He had the conditions for a leader. When Wei Tong withdrew his gaze
At that time, he was obviously very satisfied, because he could see that his son was walking like a dragon and a tiger, and his aura was very sharp. As long as he went through more experience and slowly accumulated, he would one day become a great person.
"Lao Ba, you took Lao Jiu out this time, do you think he's okay?" Wei Tong looked back at Mulu, who was laughing and playing with the people behind him, and smiled: "I don't think he has made any progress.
"
"Dad, what you said is wrong." Wei Ba said seriously: "Lao Jiu has a very good foundation. As long as he is willing to endure hardship, his kung fu will not be worse than others."
"That's good. He's close to you. You should take care of him more. We in the Wei family don't have free time." Wei Tong chatted with Wei Ba for a few more words. Suddenly the conversation changed and he lowered his voice slightly and said
: "I have a business that I have decided to do, but you haven't come back and there are many people in your family. I haven't revealed it to your brothers yet. The business is very big. When you come back, I should have a good talk with you.
This matter."
Wei Tong's words were self-evident in his regard for Wei Ba. If he didn't come back, Wei Tong's plan would not be told to others.
"What business?" Wei Ba was a little surprised. According to the power of the Wei family, even if he was not around, the other brothers were fully capable of settling large and small businesses.
"Let's not talk about this today. It has been delayed for so many days, and it is not less than an hour and a half." Wei Tong patted Wei Ba on the shoulder: "Today I will just catch you up, get up tomorrow, and then talk about business."
The Wei family's tutoring was still very strict. Wei Tong didn't speak, so it was inconvenient for Wei Ba to ask further questions. Soon, they arrived at the largest middle courtyard of the Wei family mansion. A group of servants had already started busy.
Everyone who could move onto the table followed Wei Tong's instructions and went to the middle courtyard to help Wei Ba.
The nine tigers of the Wei family drink a lot, and they drank wine from the afternoon until nearly midnight. Wei Ba drank a lot, but as he drank, his eyes couldn't help but become blurred again, and he felt slightly dizzy.
.
"Brother." Mulu, with a wrinkled face like a monkey's butt, squeezed over and pressed against Weiba's ear: "What are you going to do later? Take me with you, I'll learn more."
"Go to sleep." Wei Ba knocked on Muzhu's head half-jokingly and half-seriously. He was a naturally intimidating person. Although Mushi was a little drunk, after seeing Weiba's expression, he stuck out his tongue and said,
He hid aside dejectedly.
The banquet was over, and the cool breeze was blowing after nightfall. Weiba walked slowly from the central courtyard to the front courtyard. The little thoughts that filled his heart during the day seemed to rush into his mind again at this moment.
Even if I miss you just a little bit.
"Prepare the car." Wei Ba ordered beside the carport of the Wei family. The people below didn't know where Wei Ba would go at this time, but no one dared to say anything. This was Wei Tong's favorite son.
The rolling wheels crushed the long silent night. The carriage left the Wei family compound and headed straight for Xiangcheng County. The county town was naturally lively, but the night was indeed late. Except for a few places where there were still people, the long street was empty.
The carriage stopped at the edge of the county town. Weiba jumped out of the car and looked around. He turned around and threw a silver dollar to the coachman and said, "Wait here. I guess I won't come back at night. You are also in the car."
Just one night, Admiral."
After settling in with the coachman, Weiba walked to the end of the long street without looking back, then walked around a few times and stopped in front of a gate with a pink lantern hanging on it.
"Zihualou, it's still like this..." Although there was no one around, Weiba seemed not to want others to see his whereabouts. He just paused and stepped in.
This is one of the few gold-selling caves in Xiangcheng County, even near Li Ling. It must not be the first time for Wei Ba. As soon as he entered, the two waiters who were taking a nap immediately greeted him with apologetic smiles on their faces.
.
Looking at the two waiters, Wei Ba narrowed his eyes involuntarily. What kind of person was he? A character with sharp eyes. Although the two waiters were smiling, Wei Ba could still tell at a glance that they
His smile was unnatural, he hesitated a bit when he spoke, and he looked a little embarrassed.
But Weiba never had the patience to say anything to these people, so he just walked away. It wasn't until he walked a few steps that one of the waiters hesitated in a dilemma for a moment, and then followed him.
"Eighth Master, that one..." The waiter smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes and apologized: "Miss Yunluo, that one..."
"What's wrong?" When Wei Ba heard the waiter's words, he immediately frowned and stopped.
"Master Ba, talk here."
At this time, a middle-aged woman with heavy makeup trotted over and pulled Wei Ba away. Wei Ba was a little impatient, and when he was pulled to the corner of the small building, he shook off the woman's hand.
"Eighth Master, I disappeared one day." The middle-aged woman smiled like the waiter and couldn't see her eyes anymore: "Where did you make a fortune again..."
The middle-aged woman wanted to continue talking, but Wei Ba rolled her eyes, and a cold light blocked all her next words.
"Ba Ye, I'm not trying to spoil your mood." The middle-aged woman has seen a little bit of the world, and she can speak more smoothly than the waiter: "Yunluo...she's gone..."
"Are you gone?" Wei Ba's expression changed and he asked, "Are you suffering from a sudden illness?"
"No, no, Master Ba misunderstood." The middle-aged woman quickly explained: "She's not sick, yes, yes..."
"What is it!"
Everyone in Xiangcheng County knew that the eighth young master of the Wei family had a bad temper, and a middle-aged woman did not dare to touch this bad luck, so even though it was very difficult, she still told the truth.
"That's what happened tonight. Someone forced Yun Luo to redeem her body and then took her away." The middle-aged woman danced her hands in an exaggerated way: "I tried to push and hold back, but it didn't work..."
"You have taken the courage of a leopard!" Wei Ba's temper was very violent. After hearing this, the veins on his forehead suddenly popped up. He raised his hand and slapped the middle-aged woman to the corner: "I know she is mine.
, and you dare to let someone take her away!"
"Eighth Master..." The middle-aged woman was so beaten that she could hardly get up. She was even more aware of the seriousness of the matter. She huddled in the corner with an aggrieved tone: "You personally told me not to let anyone know that you are here.
I'm looking for Yun Luo here. No matter how brave I am, I wouldn't dare to disobey you. Because of this, when the guest took Yun Luo away, I could only watch helplessly. He was also an untouchable master..."
"Who is it!" Wei Ba calmed down a little. After thinking about it, he did tell the people on the Zuihua Tower not to reveal that he had been here, let alone to come to see the waiter.
"It's Young Master Fu San." The middle-aged woman didn't dare to hide a word, lest Wei Ba couldn't hear clearly, so she explained in detail: "The youngest son of Master Fu's family in Fu Zhanshan, Fangcheng County."
"How long have you been gone!"
"Young Master Fu came in late. After a drink, he fell in love with Yun Luo. He left the money and took her away. Master Fu is not something we can offend, and we can't show your identity to scare him...
…”
"I asked him how long he had been gone!"
"We walked not long ago, at least half an hour, towards Fangcheng County..."
Wei Ba had no patience to listen to the second half of the words. He rushed out of the yard like a gust of wind, ran across the long street, reached the place where the coachman stopped, took out his knife and cut off the horse's rein.
"Young Master Eight." The coachman who was napping in the car was awakened. When he showed up, Weiba had already climbed on the horse that was pulling the cart. He didn't even have a saddle or stirrups, and just rode away abruptly.
"The woman who robbed me of Weiba! Die!" Weiba's whole body was like a burning fire, racing like lightning.
