Although Bai Zhaodong's background was somewhat handicapped, he grew up in the imperial capital. He was quite famous at that time and was well aware of the affairs of the powerful and wealthy families in the imperial capital.
Even though many people look down on his origin, Bai Zhaodong doesn't think highly of those people. Especially decent people who are usually self-respecting and self-respecting, what they really do is enough to see.
All the capable members of the Wei family have gone in, and it’s no exaggeration to say that the remaining clan members living outside are living in fear. They used to have some respect, but with the fall of the Wei family, their former reputation is no longer of much use. There are only scattered bits and pieces.
They could not see the broken news from a serious official like Cheng Shilang.
Therefore, although Bai Zhaodong only settled the children of Mrs. Wei's family and ignored the rest of the Wei family, there were still Wei family members who came to visit her under various pretexts.
Bai Zhaodong didn't even see those who were putting on airs, and directly ordered the housekeeper to kick them out. If anyone made rude remarks, he had many strong servants at home, and he would beat them out.
After cleaning up two or three times in this way, everyone who came back was respectful and polite.
Look, this noble house is nothing more than that.
The white tea on the flower table was blooming brightly. Bai Zhaodong was holding a cup of tea in his hand, with his eyebrows slightly lowered, as if he was lost in thought. Wei Wu quietly looked at his expression and called out, "Xiandi?"
"Go on." Bai Zhaodong raised his head and glanced at Wei Wu.
There was something flattering in Wei Wu's smile. Seeing that Bai Zhaodong continued to listen, he continued:
"Yesterday, Uncle Jiu's little Twelve was arrested. It was said that he was involved in a beating case three years ago. He was sued and summoned to court. After being called to court, he did not come back. Now Uncle Jiu and Aunt Jiu are taking the money to manage things.
The money went out to sea, but there was no movement in the Imperial Capital Mansion."
Wei Wu is considered to be the leader of the branch of the Wei family. Because he is the fifth among the clan brothers, he is called Wei Wu. The first few people who came to talk were not as good-looking as Bai Zhaodong. Wei Wu had a good attitude and Bai Zhaodong was willing to listen to him.
Talk.
Wei Wu sighed, "Regardless of what happened three years ago, what happened three years ago? Why didn't this person sue three years ago, but now he sues? Isn't this adding insult to injury?"
He leaned towards Bai Zhaodong and said in a consultative tone, "Hey, I am also incompetent. Now our family is like this. Those who could talk in the past dare not pay attention to me now, for fear of being affected by our family. Xian
Brother, tell me, what's going on?"
The tea in his hand was a little warm, so Bai Zhaodong put it on the table beside him, "Let me first talk about why this case was not prosecuted three years ago. It was prosecuted three years ago. He could not win the case based on the Wei family's family status. Now that he knows that the Wei family has lost power,
Of course we have to sue. Even if we can't win the lawsuit, the Wei family will still have to spend a lot of money. I don't need to tell you what the Yamen is like. Fifth Master also knows."
Taking advantage of the Wei family's current loss of power, the Imperial Palace must make a fortune.
Wei Wu sighed repeatedly, "Isn't this taking advantage of others' danger?"
"If you don't take advantage of someone's danger, how can you take advantage of someone's prosperity? Isn't that asking for death?" Bai Zhaodong said, "If there is an injustice, I can still help to intercede. If there are witnesses and material evidence, this love cannot be justified."
Hearing what Bai Zhaodong said, he obviously didn't want to care, and Wei Wu's face darkened.
Bai Zhaodong continued, "I advise you to go back and remind your family that if you have done evil in the past, please bow to the Bodhisattva. The old general has been in prison and has been in officialdom for many years. It is difficult to guarantee that he will not have enemies. Now that the Wei family is in decline, he will surely
We must make an effort to liquidate the Wei family. If not mistaken, this is just the beginning."
Wei Wu's face suddenly turned as white as paper, and his heart was anxious as if he were on hot coals. In Bai Zhaodong's room where there was no charcoal fire, Wei Wu was so anxious that he broke out in sweat and couldn't help but step forward and hold Bai Zhaodong's hand.
, begged, "Xiandi, you can't just ignore it!"
The sound of wind and snow outside the window was gradually rising, and Bai Zhaodong felt the strength of Wei Wu's hand, "It's not that I don't care, it's that I can't control it. I said, this is just the beginning. After investigating the affairs of the General's Mansion, if the charges are not enough, the side branches must be liquidated.
.As a big family like the Wei family, with thousands of descendants in the imperial capital, no one can dare to pat their chests and promise that they are really clean and white without being framed? Do you dare?"
Wei Wu didn't dare to say the word "dare", so he asked Bai Zhaodong, "What about now?"
Bai Zhaodong sighed, "I don't know. If we deal with the old general, we will definitely drag the entire clan down."
Wei Wu's expression changed again, but Bai Zhaodong changed his words:
"However, to be honest, what does it have to do with the old general that the ninth master's son, Twelve, killed someone three years ago? The old general is very strict in educating his children. Which elder would tell a junior that you go out and beat someone to death?
I'll bear it for you. Isn't the old general that kind of person?" Bai Zhaodong asked.
"Of course not." Wei Wu replied quickly.
"I'm going to put it bluntly. Over the years, many branches of your family have taken advantage of the General's Mansion. But now, the General's Mansion is in trouble. Even though you have to take responsibility for the cases you committed back then, you can't do it in court now."
I'm afraid I will be told by the censor that I have no way to control the clan." Bai Zhaodong looked at Wei Wu's embarrassed expression and said mercilessly, "You have brought trouble to the general's office."
In fact, Bai Zhaodong didn't know how the branch of the Wei family came up with the way to separate from the general's mansion. In short, some clan elders went over to consult with Mrs. Wei. Mrs. Wei was so angry that she asked Bai Zhaodong to discuss it.
"In these years, they have made so much profit from the general's mansion. Now that they see the old general in prison, others are not doing anything, but they are arguing about dividing the clan and establishing a household. How unreasonable! How unreasonable!" Mrs. Wei is also sixty years old.
, the huge changes in her family failed to break her down, and the table could still be banged. You can imagine how majestic she was in the past.
Bai Zhaodong, wearing a gray cotton robe, sat calmly, waiting calmly for Mrs. Wei to finish patting the table. He was calm and had no intention of speaking at all.
Mrs. Wei had no choice but to step forward and persuade her, "Mom, don't be anxious. Brother Bai has arrived, and we women, children and children can't make up our minds about this. You might as well ask Brother Bai about such a matter."
Bai Zhaodong showed a surprised look. Mrs. Wei knew that he did not want to get involved in this branch of the sect. If it were before, Bai Zhaodong would not be able to get involved even if he wanted to. But now and then, Mrs. Wei said, "Yes, Adong, you have always been knowledgeable.
, you might as well talk about it."
"I don't understand such a thing." Bai Zhaodong thought for a while, "Now the Lu family in the imperial capital is divided into clans. When I was studying, I read that during the reign of Emperor You, Duke Li Jiujiang and Li Wenzhong were separated from the Yong'an Marquis Mansion. I
These are the only two things we know about, so it’s up to the old lady to decide what to do.”
In these two separate clan affairs, both Marquis Lu and Duke Li Wenzhong were outstanding men of their generation both then and now. The Wei family...
Mrs. Wei was extremely shrewd. She narrowed her sharp eyes and stared at Bai Zhaodong, "So you support the division of sects?"
"I don't understand this at all. I can't say whether I support it or not. If you are always at a loss for ideas, you might as well ask the old general. Although you can't visit him in prison now, it shouldn't be difficult to ask Mr. Cheng to help deliver a message." Bai Zhaodong doesn't care.
appearance.
Mrs. Wei thought about it, even if Bai Zhaodong recognized his ancestors and returned to the clan, he was just a concubine who was born in a dance drama. Whether he was divided into clans or not would not have much influence on him. Furthermore, as a merchant, how could he know the benefits of such a big family?
.
Bai Zhaodong didn't care what the female family members of the Wei family would think, and what did these women have to do with him.
However, Bai Zhaodong came up with a good idea.
According to Mrs. Wei, if the elders of the side clans dare to come to her to mention the matter of splitting the clan, they are not afraid of her. Mrs. Wei can no longer suppress the thousands of clan members. At this time, it is indeed the best idea to ask the old general for advice.
Mrs. Wei said, "Then I'll help you. Ask someone to bring a message and ask the old general what he means."
"Okay." Bai Zhaodong agreed.
Mrs. Wei hesitated to speak, and what she wanted to say never came out. Bai Zhaodong saw that she had nothing to do and left.
Cheng Shilang was simply tricked to death by Bai Zhaodong. It was a big deal to decide which family to give up in establishing the clan. Because Bai Zhaodong believed in his words, he cooperated very well in the Wei family's lawsuit and really helped a few people, both big and small.
Because it was just a matter of bringing a message, Minister Cheng helped. Unexpectedly, General Wei was so stimulated by this ungrateful clansman that he vomited blood on the spot, which frightened Minister Cheng. He also asked
Back to the doctor.
When Bai Zhaodong learned that General Wei was seriously ill, he spent 100,000 silver to buy a quote from the eunuch beside Emperor Mu Xuan:
"I have seen ungrateful people, but I have never seen such ungrateful people."
Emperor Mu Xuan ordered the imperial physician to go to the prison to diagnose and treat General Wei's injuries.
