Wei Gonglu went straight to the Noble Council out of the slums, he wanted to implement the matter of the Employer Management Association before Mu Chen returned, in view of the mental state of the young city lord's full name, he was not notified of this matter, and after a brief discussion with the political secretary, he made his own decisions.

When Wei Rou learned of her uncle's arrival, she immediately went to meet her, she wanted to find out her uncle's intentions, if Mu Chen could serve Baoling Prefecture like the Great Patriarch, then everything that had happened so far would be worth it, if not, it was better to prepare early, so as not to be flustered and helpless at that time. But now Quan Mingde only has hatred in his heart, and he will not push and will not allow Mu Chen to stay, so she has to help her husband with her own ability.

"Uncle, why are you here early in the morning, is there anything important?" Wei Rou asked as she saluted.

"Is there something, how is your body, is there anything uncomfortable?"

"My niece is fine, and thank you for a busy day for fame. ”

"How is he, is he feeling some refreshment?"

"He's fine, he was too tired yesterday and he's still resting. Wei Rou didn't see Quan Mingde at all, and since she came back from a coma, Quan Mingde has been locking herself in the study and has not seen anyone.

"That's good, that's good, yesterday... Don't talk about it, you can persuade him for the old man, don't go against Mu Chen again, it's not good for him. ”

"Yes, uncle. I heard that Mu Chen and his party were arranged by you in the Garden Building, and it would not be so easy to agree according to what he did yesterday, how did you convince him?"

"Ahem... That's a long story, but I'll explain it later. It is imperative that you stabilize the young city lord, try to avoid letting him contact Mu Chen, don't be rash and speak ill of each other, this time the old man relied on years of friendship to keep him, next time..."

"My niece knows, if there is anything I can help you, just ask, I will not let you down. ”

"There's really one thing, you take two maids and me to the parlor. ”

The two uncles and nephews entered the living room, and Wei Gonglu ordered the two maids to guard the door and not allow anyone to disturb them.

"Uncle, tell me, my niece will do it. ”

"The key to leaving Mu Chen is whether the old city lord can successfully get the Beijin Ministry's merchant group pass, but the old man is not sure if there is anyone to report the news, what you need to do is to inquire and investigate, if the news has been sent, then we will wait and see, if not, you need to knock on the side, remind the eyes and ears in the council, and let them report to the old city lord as soon as possible." ”

"Uncle, niece doesn't understand why she has to have a pass from the old city lord, and my aunt can too..."

"Your aunt can't do it, the pass is for the two wasteland women brought by Mu Chen, take this opportunity to sell him personal favors, whether he stays in Baoling Prefecture or not, he will inevitably favor us in the future." But this favor must be Prince Ren's, if the pass is given to Mu Chen through the old man's hand, your husband alone will not be able to spare us, you also know his usual attitude towards me, their father and son have always been wary of our family, and the military and political wealth of Baoling Prefecture do not allow me to participate too deeply, so in order to avoid suspicion, the old city lord must do it himself. ”

"Mingde treats you like that, I didn't expect my uncle to bother to do his best for the unity of the two families, my niece really doesn't know how to repay, I will make amends for you on behalf of Mingde. With that, Wei Rou knelt on the ground and kowtowed to apologize.

"Okay, okay, get up quickly, you and I are a family, and doing this is not all for your husband, but also for our Wei family to live in harmony with the royal family and prosper forever. Get up. Wei Gonglu stretched out his hand to help.

"Uncle, don't worry, I'll go to inquire immediately, and I'll send someone to inform you as soon as I have any news. ”

"You remember, don't alarm the young city lord, lest he think blindly. The old city lord is thoughtful, and the eyes and ears left behind must be confidants, the most likely is Lao Chen, you go to explore him, don't be too deliberate, see if you can gain something. ”

"Okay, it's all up to my uncle. ”

After the discussion between the uncle and nephew, Wei Gonglu was about to go back to the house, and when he walked to the door of the council, he saw the guards coming in with a peasant-like young man, this man had a haggard face and was covered in mud, and he looked like he had come after a long journey, so Wei Gonglu stepped forward to stop them and asked, "What is he doing?"

"Lord Imperial Eunuch, this person came from the black market and said that he had something important to discuss with the young city lord. The guard replied.

"Black market? The young city lord is unwell and doesn't see guests, you come with me, you go down." Wei Gonglu took the young man away and returned home with him.

Wei Rou returned to the inner house to gather her personal attendants, instructed them to find out the whereabouts of the housekeeper Lao Chen recently, and specially explained that they must be natural, not too deliberate, just chat.

The maids have been living in the council courtyard and are very familiar with the personnel here, so they took the opportunity of breakfast to come to the servants' restaurant, where they dined with the guards and servants on duty for the past two days, and chatted with the words that they had not seen the housekeeper Lao Chen recently, but they only got the news that he had asked about the situation of the young city lord, and there were no other more important clues.

When Wei Rou learned of this, she went out in person, she came to the study of the young city lord, and saw Lao Chen guarding at the door, so she stepped forward and asked: "How is Mingde, have you eaten?" I asked someone to boil ginseng soup to replenish his strength. ”

"Madam, the young master ordered not to see anyone, you put the soup here, and I will bring it in later. ”

"Am I missing too? ”

"Madam, don't embarrass the old slave, I'm afraid that you will break in... Let's leave it to the old slave. ”

"He can't keep himself locked in the study, there are still many things to deal with for him, if only his father was here, he doesn't have to bear so much pressure alone. ”

"Madame, don't worry, the young master just didn't figure it out for a while, and it's good to pass this strength. ”

"That Ming De is always unable to figure out what to do, who is in charge of the overall situation of Baoling Prefecture, do you want my uncle? You also know that the two of them have always been at odds, if my uncle comes forward at this time, then from then on..." Wei Rou pretended to be worried, showing that she was all for the sake of her full name.

"The Imperial Supervisor naturally wants to come forward, he has the same official position as the young master, and it is understandable to temporarily act as the city lord, but the old city lord has been running Baoling Prefecture for decades, and not everyone can replace him. The old slave has a lot of mouths, a lot of mouths. These words were forwarded by Wei Rou to Wei Gonglu, reminding him that the old city lord was still there, and he should not try to usurp power and seize the throne.

"I don't mean that, I don't want to see the relationship between Mingde and my uncle get worse. Cough... I'll put the soup here, you serve it to him while it's hot, and I'll come back later." Wei Rou turned away in frustration, and at the same time got the answer she wanted.

Wei Gonglu took the young man from the black market back to the house, and as soon as he entered the door, he arranged him in the side hall, he went back to the house to change his clothes, and asked someone to serve some refreshments by the way.

"Look at how dusty you look and you haven't eaten yet. Wei Gonglu motioned to the young man and picked up his teacup himself.

"Thank you, sir, thank you... My lord. The young man grabbed the pastry and devoured it.

"Eat slowly and don't be in a hurry, drink some tea, and be careful not to choke. Wei Gonglu looked at the young man, he didn't know what was wrong with the black market, and waited until he was full of food and water before he opened his mouth to ask.

"Did something happen to you coming from the black market to find the young city lord?"

"My lord, there is a letter to be handed over to the young city lord in Luojian City, can you help me meet him?"

"I'm afraid this won't work, something has happened in the city recently, the young city lord is not very mentally stable, he needs to recuperate, and he hasn't seen any guests in recent days. ”

"My lord, this letter..."

"You give it to me, and when the young city lord is ready, I'll hand it over to him. ”

"But... Keluo Jian City repeatedly told him that the villain must hand over the letter to the young city lord by himself, which..."

"What, you can't trust the old man?" Wei Gonglu's face changed instantly.

"Don't dare, don't dare, this is a letter, I'm tired of my lordship. The young man took out the letter from his bosom and handed it to Wei Gonglu.

"What's wrong with Luo Crocodile, why didn't he come in person, and specially sent you to deliver the letter, can't he get out?"

"Luo Jian City is indeed inseparable, now the black market people are panicking, he and Li Jian City..."

After determining that Li Jackal would not give up, Luo Crocodile pretended to explain his plan of revenge to the tavern owner, but in fact he just asked the boss to find a cronie to help him deliver the letter. Then Luo Crocodile handed the letter to the young man behind Li Jackal's back, and ordered him to hand it over to the young city lord.

After Wei Gonglu figured out the reason, he gave the young man some money and sent him away, and when he returned to the study, he immediately opened the letter, which read: "Hello young city lord, the black market situation has been frequent recently, and it is related to the actions of the pioneer Mu Chen and the patriarch. The villain knew that he was low and powerful, and he was powerless to compete with him, and he couldn't stop Li Jian City, so he could only tell Li Jackal what he thought and said, he wanted to use the Shell Jin Merchant Group to deal with Mu Chen in the name that the wastelanders were not allowed to enter the interior, and he also wanted to spread the news that Mu Chen was with the wastelanders in Baoling Prefecture and even in Infinite City, and treated humans violently. After all, the black market is under your jurisdiction, and the villain is afraid that you will be implicated, so I hope you will make a decision as soon as possible to avoid damage to your reputation. The villain knows that he can't get out of it, but for the sake of timely reporting, I hope you will spare the villain's life, and he will do his best to assist in the future and repay him with his life. Crocodile. ”

Wei Gonglu burned the letter after reading it, the black market has never had anything to do with him, Luo Li's two supervisors are also appointed by their full names, and they never contact him, as for their plan to take revenge on Mu Chen, it is an unexpected gain for him, it is best for everyone to be enemies of Mu Chen, only he is on Mu Chen's side, what is the safety of Baoling Prefecture, what is the tide once in sixty years, what is the unity of the two families, all are lies, he has only one purpose, that is, to gain Mu Chen's trust, keep him by his side for his own use, and lay the foundation in advance for the irreplaceable position of the Wei family in the future。
