Section 298 Something happened
Time in this kind of calm and slightly boring days in a trance is two months passed, during this time, this bamboo forest house is rare to maintain peace and tranquility, it seems that since the naughty Miss Wei left, no one dares to disturb the quiet of this Wei family guest, especially what makes the people of the Wei Mansion suspicious is that the person doesn't even need to eat, let alone leave anyone there to serve, such a strange situation, it really makes them talk in private. However, the high status and respect of that Li Gongzi really made them dare not show off, I heard that the young lady was scolded by the master a few days ago because she went there to disturb the rest of the distinguished guests, and she was grounded in the boudoir for half a month and did not come out, such a thing can be regarded as a shocking event in the Wei Mansion.
Who doesn't know that Miss Wei is the pearl of the master's palm, and she has never even said a word of weight, and it is too appalling to reprimand and punish her for an outsider like this. In this way, there are all kinds of speculations about the identity of that Li Gongzi, and even some people with big brains are guessing that this Li Gongzi is not the illegitimate son of the master outside? Now that he has grown up and come back to recognize his ancestors, he is especially loved by the master, otherwise, where would there be such attention?
However, this kind of discussion gradually weakened with the passage of time, and as that Li Gongzi had not appeared in front of everyone for a long time, they seemed to have forgotten that there was such a person. And that bamboo forest house, apparently because even the young lady went there was heavily punished, so it became a forbidden area in the Wei Mansion, where very few people could go, and since then, no one dared to go to the boring place, and it was gradually forgotten.
And a series of huge changes have also taken place in the Wei Mansion since Shen Tong came, the Wei family's shops that originally had business all over the Sifang City have closed their doors, and all the scattered Wei family children have also returned to the family, and for a while, such a huge change has also made the discussion in the Sifang City chaotic, but those small families who were suppressed by the Wei family in the past were very happy in this situation, and they seemed to see a rare opportunity, and they were ready to do a big job. For these things, Wei Yuanzheng didn't care about these things at all, just kept gathering people, settled the clansmen, and then stayed in the mansion all day long to enjoy the flowers and birds, enjoying a rare peaceful life. And after the people in the Wei Mansion removed the initial chaos, they gradually calmed down, except for those who were scattered and sent out to inquire about the news, most of the Wei family children stayed in the house and lived this kind of leisure life.
On this day, a major event occurred in Sifang City, the Wang family, which took the opportunity to expand its business after the Wei family closed its shop, suffered heavy losses, and a team that went to Sangmu Town to purchase medicinal materials was wiped out, causing a shock in the entire Sifang City. Speaking of which, the Wang family is also a family with a long heritage in Sifang City, even before the Wei family produced Wei Kang, the entire Sifang City has always been surnamed Wang instead of surnamed Wei, but the world is so impermanent, when the Wei family has Wei Kang, such an amazing monk was selected into the sect of Tianxing Valley, when its smooth foundation is to show the rise of the Wei family in Sifang City, everything that follows is naturally a matter of course, let it be, the Wei family jumped to become the overlord of the Sifang City with the support of Wei Kang, and the Wang family gradually declined in comparison。
However, the so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and although the Wang family is in decline, its heritage still exists. And Wei Yuanzheng is not the kind of person who rushes to kill everything, but he also allows the other families in Sifang City to be preserved, and they can have something to eat. Under such circumstances, the Wang family and the Kong family and other families also acted peacefully, and kept the Sifang City in a relatively stable situation, and even after the Wei family gathered personnel, the patriarchs of the Wang and Kong families came to inquire about the situation and asked what the purpose of the Wei expedition was.
Of course, how could Wei Yuanzheng be willing to tell the story of the disciples sent by the ancestors? He only excused himself by saying that the family was going to hold a big ceremony to pay tribute to the ancestors, so there was such a change. How could others believe such an excuse? What does the memorial to the ancestors have to do with the family's business? It's just that the Wei family is powerful, and since Wei Yuanzheng refuses to say it explicitly, they can't force it, but after getting the promise that the Wei family will not interfere with their business, the two families are naturally overjoyed and start the idea of expanding their business.
Sifang City is located in the northeast remote corner of the Tianxing Mountain Range, because it is located in the depths of the mountain range, it can be said that it is in the embrace of the mountains, so the shops here are naturally based on the skin and flesh of wild beasts and the spiritual herbs in the mountains, and sell them to several towns in the Qingyun Mountain Range, and then transport back some necessary things for life, and naturally they can make a lot of profits from it. But whether it is hunting animals or picking herbs, you need to go deep into the mountains, and it is difficult to guarantee how much you will harvest, so in addition to the need for good hands in your own home, you also need to collect the goods in the homes of various hunters and visitors to sell them uniformly in order to obtain considerable profits, and now that the Wei family's shops are temporarily closed, naturally the channels for this kind of acquisition are also wide open, and for a while, the two families also took a lot of money to take this opportunity to expand their business.
However, at this moment, an accident happened, and the Wang family's team that went to Sangmu Town never returned, as if they had disappeared out of thin air, which really made everyone stunned, and immediately tried to figure it out
The situation there, the Wang family and the Kong family sent three groups of people in a row, but none of them came back, which made them feel that the matter was a little serious and beyond imagination.
Sangmu Town is located in the northwest corner of Sifang City, if Sifang City is the most remote city in the northeast corner of the Tianxing Mountain Range, then Sangmu Town is a small town deep in the mountains. In fact, it is a small town, but it is better to say that it is a slightly larger village, but there are not many people who live there, most of them are hunters and visitors who enter the mountain from here, because there are many people coming and going, there are taverns and inns and other places for pedestrians to rest, and it has become a small town. In the center of that town, there is a giant mulberry crown that is thousands of years old and covers the whole town, so the town is named after it. Nasangmu Town is only a hundred miles away from Sifang City, and it takes only one or two days to go back and forth in normal times, even if it takes some time to buy furs and ginseng grass, it is only three days at most, but at this time, seven or eight days have passed, and several waves of people have not returned, just let them know that something amazing must have happened there. It wasn't until this moment that they remembered that the Wei family had closed the shop so early to take back the personnel, and they must have foreseen what was going on.
However, they wanted to expand the family business at this time, so that this accident really made them regret not doing it at the beginning. It's just that the matter has come to this point, and it's too late to regret it, and now the most important thing is to find out what happened in Sangmu Town, why so many people went there, and there was not even a single person who successfully returned, and even after the incident, there was not even a single person from Sangmu Town, so they had no way to find out the situation there, which was what made them the most depressed.
And in this case, they also had to rush to the Wei family, anxious to discuss countermeasures with Wei Yuanzheng Wei Old Man, although the two of them acted a little impatiently, but in any case, such a big event happened around the Sifang City, as the most powerful Wei family in the Sifang City, obviously could not stay out of the matter as if nothing happened, facing the anxious faces of the two heads of the Wang Kong family, thinking that the two teams that were also sent there in his family had not come back so far, Wei Yuanzheng couldn't help but have a big headache.
At this time, he thought of the nephew of Li Shi who seemed to be in the Bamboo Forest Retreat, and he knew that the reason why the ancestor of the Wei family sent his disciples here was really to plan for a rainy day, and he had a far-sighted plan that ordinary people could hardly imagine, thinking that there was such a monk in his family, his heart was a little calm, but now he naturally wanted to find out what was going on there, it was so weird.
