Chapter 15
Eagle Strikes the Sky 15
The Wei family became a monk halfway when they participated in major events. They had no first-hand information sources and had to find all clues and things by themselves. For almost half a year after seizing the elixir, the Wei family suffered heavy blows one after another.
Two brothers died because of this incident.
But the Wei family did not intend to give up. They were like eager gamblers who bet all their wealth and life on a handful of cards. They would never quit before the cards were drawn. After the death of three brothers, the rest
The people became even more crazy, but this did not change the situation much. Because of the empty tomb incident, the Wei family had offended many people, and they used various means to attack the Wei family. And the people near Li Ling
Other forces also hope that the Wei family will fail at this juncture, and the situation is extremely unfavorable.
When Wei Ba opens his eyes every morning, he can almost hear bad news from everywhere. Rich people like them will definitely support a group of people secretly, and this group of people cannot see the light. As the Wei family
People continued to die, rumors spread, and many people talked behind their backs that the Wei family was in decline and was on the decline. The people supported by the Wei family began to quietly leave them, or left without a trace, or turned to other forces. For
The Wei family was very angry about this, but there was not much they could do.
When Wei Ba walked to the front hall, Wei Tong was closing his eyes to rest, but it can be seen that in just six months, he has aged a lot, his hair has become thinner, the wrinkles on his face have become finer, and his energy has become worse day by day.
Wei Ba's third brother has been out for a month and a half. According to normal circumstances, he should rush back even if he can't find anything. However, Wei Tong waited for several days without any news from his third brother.
"Lao Ba, your third brother..." Wei Tong could hear Wei Ba's footsteps without opening his eyes. His hands trembled and he wanted to stand up.
"Dad, it's okay." Wei Ba said with relief: "There is no news yet, please wait."
"Did I make a mistake? Did I do something wrong?" Wei Tong leaned back on the chair and touched his forehead. There was a deep regret in his eyes: "I shouldn't leave this matter to you.
It would be better for you to do it or keep it in your heart than now."
"How many people have been able to achieve immortality in ancient times? This is not an easy task. Dad, we have come this far. The only way is to continue walking and walk bravely." Wei Ba is very confident. Of course,
He knew that the third child would probably never come back, but he would not say it outright. He had made a plan in his heart. No matter how many people in the Wei family died, he would definitely continue on this path.
"The tree fell down and everyone pushed it." Wei Tong did not pick up Wei Ba's words. He is so old and has been in the world for most of his life. He can predict all kinds of things, but it is expected that things are really in front of him.
At that time, he had a different mood: "Early this morning, Lao Li from the county security team came."
"What did he say?" Wei Ba came to his senses and thought about it, and then he remembered that this old Li was an adjutant of the Xiangcheng Security Group. He was an old veteran, and he often took advantage of Wei's family.
"He said that there has been an order from above recently that the negative business in our family must be restrained." Wei Tong shook his head: "If you give him money, he will not accept it. Is the Wei family really going to lose power?"
"Let's continue business." Wei Ba's eyes turned cold. He had a premonition that there must be some conspiracy hidden behind these things, but if the Wei family really gave in, they would be completely at a disadvantage. Who knows when
Only then will there be a chance to turn around.
While Wei Ba was talking to Wei Tong, other brothers came to the front hall one after another. Wei Tong was already on the verge of death. Although he kept killing people, he couldn't let go. But at this time, he took Wei Ba more seriously and wouldn't let him go out to do things easily.
, no matter where this family goes, it must at least have a backbone.
Wei Tong gave brief instructions, and the other four adult brothers acted accordingly. Looking at their backs, Wei Ba felt a little sad.
"Baby, you guard the house." Wei Tong finally stood up tremblingly: "I will live at Qipan Peak for a while. When your brothers come back, send someone to call me."
Qipanfeng is a branch of Liling Mountain. The Wei family has a piece of land there and has built a small house. When Wei Tong is upset, he will go there to live and quiet his mind.
When Wei Tong left, Wei Ba seemed to be the only one left in the huge courtyard. He seemed to be the owner here, but he didn't have the feeling of being superior. Once, he wanted to be Wei Tong's position.
However, when he really got close to this position, he realized that this feeling was not as good as he imagined.
Weiba slept very deeply and rarely even dreamed, but that night, his dreams came one after another, turning into a mess. He dreamed of many people, but this dream did not last, and was awakened in the second half of the night.
People were disturbed.
"Eighth Young Master." A man who had worked in the Wei family for many years called him up in a hurry and said through the door: "Several of our businesses have been confiscated."
"Who copied it!" Wei Ba sat up in excitement, his sleepiness completely gone. Someone copied the Wei family's business? This was simply impossible to happen in the past.
"Security team." The man said: "We are trying to clear up the relationship now and see if we can fish out the people and goods first. The old man is not at home. Do you think you should inform him? The old man is familiar with the people in the security team and beat him.
We have known each other for many years..."
"No need to disturb his old man." Wei Ba roared, and he turned over and opened the door with an angry look on his face, but this was just the surface. Wei Ba's heart was extremely calm and clear. He knew that someone was deliberately trying to make things difficult for the Wei family.
They may have already used money to feed the security team. Since the other party has done this, there is no way for the Wei family to retreat, and Wei Tong's intervention is of no use.
And at this moment, in Wei Ba's heart, the only thing he is thinking about is immortality. He can endure and let go of other things. Even if the entire Wei family is ruined, as long as he can gain immortality, he can work hard with his own ability.
It is not difficult to create a world.
"Listen carefully." Wei Ba waved his hand to the man and said, "Go back to sleep and act as if nothing happened."
"Eighth Young Master, this..." The man immediately looked very embarrassed, because it was impossible for a wealthy family like the Wei family to live solely on land rent. Li Lingshan was rich in water and water, and Mr. Tian, the Wei family actually did not have much land.
The expenses are all secret business: "If we don't find a way to build relationships, the security team will probably make the matter bigger, copy our goods, and investigate along this line. Our losses will be huge."
Too big."
"It doesn't matter." Wei Ba yawned and closed the door: "Sleep."
In fact, Wei Ba is very clear about how much trouble and loss this matter will bring to the Wei family. But he knows one thing better. If a matter is a foregone conclusion, then the best state for him is to face the reality calmly.
.
If you are willing to give up, how can you achieve great things without great generosity?
It turned out to be exactly what the old man said. Some of the Wei family's properties in Xiangcheng were confiscated within two days, and some people were also arrested. Their intention was obvious, and they wanted to take advantage of these things to bring Wei into trouble.
Several important people in the family were brought in. Several wealthy people around Li Ling were engaged in selling local goods and selling cigarettes. This was not a big deal at first, but if the other party deliberately tried to do it, it would be a big deal. If they really hit the end with one blow,
, even Wei Tong was implicated.
Wei Ba was thinking that this was a very bad signal, and someone was going to take this opportunity to completely destroy the Wei family.
The only good thing is that the people in charge of the Wei family's business are all old people. This has to be said that Wei Tong is careful in his work and the people he selected are all reliable. After these people were arrested
, no matter what methods the other party used, they handled the matter alone without involving Wei Tong and the following brothers.
But the impact of this incident on the Wei family was too serious. In the few days after the incident, the whole Xiangcheng and even the surrounding areas were talking about it in the streets and alleys. The Wei family was going to collapse and no one could stop it. Usually they were always attached to the Wei family.
Those who were apologizing for their laughter were not even visible at this moment. Wei Ba hated it so much that his teeth itched, but he couldn't bear it.
"I have plenty of time to take care of you." Wei Ba took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He was not a well-educated person to begin with. Even though he had experienced some things, there were too many things that made him anxious. He
He can only use his own ideas to convince himself that he longs for immortality. As long as he gets immortality, he will have enough time to do what he wants to do. Riches and property are nothing.
Because of this thought, the Wei Family Courtyard still maintained the last trace of calmness in the storm, even though everyone was already panicking.
"Bago." Although Mulu is still young, he can still smell danger from what happened these days. He is worried that the smile that usually hangs on his face is completely invisible: "What should we do?"
"Practice your skills with peace of mind, and don't worry about other things." Wei Ba touched his confused head: "The sky will not fall."
Looking at Weiba's calm expression, the confusion seemed to be getting better. In his heart, there was nothing that Bago couldn't do. As long as Bago was still here, everything would definitely be fine. He admired Weiba very much, and Weiba's ability was still good.
He has the mentality to face difficulties, which he does not have now.
But Weiba is indeed not omnipotent. Everything in this world will have a bottom line. No matter how hard something is, it will be shattered as long as it receives a corresponding blow. Just after these messy things subsided a little, a sudden news made
Weiba was also shocked.
The news was reported by people from Qipan Peak. It was so unexpected that no one expected it.
"Young Master Eight!" Several people who rushed back were crying. They pushed back and forth for a long time, and no one dared to be the first to speak clearly about the matter. Finally, seeing Wei Ba getting angry, a slightly older person came to him.
He said fearfully: "Old Master, someone has kidnapped him."
