Chapter 157: Finding the Root Cause
Looking at this time, the Wei family really has the heaviest black gas on Wei Xiu's body.
Cui Zhiwei hurriedly deduced, and this push saw the younger Wei Xiu signing a contract with a man who was slightly older than him and had a more ordinary appearance.
Then the picture turned, and it was the scene where the man used the name of the Wei family in northern Xinjiang to do timber business with others everywhere.
The picture turned again, and the man also used the name of the Wei family to hook up with an official of the Ministry of Industry who was building the Yuhe Summer Palace, and sold the timber from the forest farm to the imperial court.
Then the picture turned again, and the official asked someone to secretly replace the wood from the northern Xinjiang forest farm and replace it with some broken wood that I don't know where it came from. And because of fate, the man found out that the wood had been exchanged.
In the end, the man was afraid of getting into trouble, so he wanted to sell the forest farm to Wei Xiu. Anyway, all these years under the banner of the Wei family, if it is really found that the Wei family is responsible for it, it will not arouse suspicion.
Cui Zhiwei asked Wei Xiu some questions based on the picture he had just deduced. "Second cousin, let me ask you, do you know that friend of yours is doing timber business in the name of the Wei family in Northern Xinjiang?"
"I know, otherwise people wouldn't have found me, and let me enter 30% of the shares at a very low price. "It seems that Wei Xiu still has some self-knowledge.
"Then do you know that person doesn't really know anyone from the Ministry of Industry, but also spent money to get through the relationship as a Wei family before selling the timber from the Northern Xinjiang Forest Farm to the imperial court. ”
"I don't know. My friend said that he knew the industrial officials, and that he was able to sell the timber from the northern Xinjiang forest farm to the imperial court this time, and that he also said that it cost a lot to get through the relationship, and the silver given by the imperial court was not much, so this transaction may not be profitable. But at least I made a lot of money, and it will be easier to do business in the future. ”
Cui Zhiwei sneered, "He didn't want to share your money, so he said that." ”
"I don't know about that. But I still got a lot of dividends from him in the past few years. ”
"Well, let's leave that at that. Let me ask you again, do you think the price offered by your friend to resell the clinic is reasonable?" Cui Zhiwei asked again.
Wei Xiu shook his head, "It's unreasonable, it's at least half cheaper than the actual price." But he said it because we were friends, and he would sell it if he needed money urgently, otherwise he wouldn't have sold it. ”
"That's why you're so excited that you'll discuss this matter with my second brother, right?"
"Yes. Wei Xiu nodded, "Although I'm not good at business, it's true that I'm moved by the price." ”
"Then what if people sell the forest farm to you and want you to be a substitute for the dead?"
"How is it possible? The two of us have such a good relationship, how could he harm me? Besides, what crime did he commit and wanted to find me as a substitute for the dead ghost?" Wei Xiu didn't know why, he didn't know much more about Cui Zhiwei than that friend.
Cui Zhiwei didn't care about Wei Xiu's questioning, she continued: "To be more precise, someone asked your friend to be a substitute for the dead ghost, and after he found out, he chose you and chose the Wei family as a substitute for the dead ghost. ”
"How can this matter have anything to do with the Wei family again?" Wei Xiu felt a little surprised.
"It's because someone replaced the wood from your forest farm to be shoddy, and the wood that was exchanged happened to be used in the Yuhe Summer Palace. Once the matter is revealed, not only you, but even the entire Wei family will be implicated. Because Jiang Xuanjun's incident has not happened yet, Cui Zhiwei did not mention it.
"Is there really such a thing?" Wei Xiu was still a little skeptical.
"If that hadn't happened, did you think that friend of yours would have sold you a good business for a bargain?"
"I still don't believe it! I'm going to ask why my friend wants to hurt me? Why do you want to hurt the Wei family?"
"You calm down first, you're only going to startle the snake by doing this. Cui Zhiyi persuaded.
"Then what should I do?" Wei Xiu is not like his eldest brother Wei Jing, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, he has not experienced much major events, and he is a little dazed.
Even if Cui Zhiyi has an idea, he still leaves the decision to Cui Zhiwei. "Zhiwei, what do you say?"
Cui Zhiwei glanced at Wei Xiu, "Our words have no basis, and the second cousin may not fully believe it." He added, "Since the second cousin doesn't have to buy the forest farm, let's wait and see what happens." ”
"Do you really have to wait, then what if it ......" Cui Zhiyi was afraid that the follow-up would cause the Cui family to fall into a catastrophe.
Cui Zhiwei shook his head at him, "Let's do this first, we have more important things to do." "As for what Wei Jing is going to do, as long as he doesn't make trouble, it's already good, and in the end, it's up to their brothers and sisters to solve this matter.
"Are you just leaving?" Wei Xiu hadn't completely regained his senses, "It's not that I don't believe my cousin, it's ......"
"But there's no evidence to prove what I'm talking about. Cui Zhi smiled and finished his words for him.
"Not exactly, but it makes sense when you think about it. ”
"Okay, second cousin, we really have more important things to do, you just have to listen to me and wait and see what happens. By the way," Cui Zhiwei still didn't let him remind, "It's best not to see that friend of yours again." ”
"Well, I'm not going to look for him yet. ”
This trip was not in vain, at least the root cause of the Wei family's disaster was found. But there are more important things to do in the rest, so Cui Zhiwei and Cui Zhiyi and Cui Zhili will call Wei Qiuniang to go home early.
On the way home, Cui Zhiwei told Wei Qiuniang about Wei Xiu. Wei Qiuniang called Wei Xiu confused, and said: "He doesn't want to think about it, people first found him to do business just to take advantage of the Wei family's momentum, and now that such a big thing has happened, of course they want to find him, and find the Wei family to be a substitute for the dead, what is there to believe." ”
"It's because he doesn't understand me!" Cui Zhiwei didn't care, "You are my mother, and you know that I can deduce before you believe me unconditionally." ”
"You're right. "I'm afraid that her sister-in-law Wu will only believe her family Weixiu's words, and will not believe what his family knows. Wei Qiuniang then asked, "Then what are you going to do?" If it was only Wei Xiu alone, she wouldn't mind letting that stinky boy learn a lesson, but it was about the entire Wei family, and Wei Qiuniang had to pay attention to it.
"First of all, we must ensure that nothing happens to the prince's brother. "At that time, even if the matter of timber is found, Wei Xiu will only buy shares, and he and the Wei family will not be implicated.
In addition, she can also ask Jiang Xuanjun and Yan Jingnian to check the Ministry of Industry official. If it is found to be true, the Northern Xinjiang Forest Farm will be fine.
However, Wei Xiu's friend is not authentic, he has been doing business under the banner of the Wei family for so many years, and he still wants the Wei family to top the tank at the critical moment, so he has to teach that person some lessons this time.
