Chapter 107: The Smoke of Gunpowder Begins

Wei Qiao didn't know when he closed his umbrella and paced slowly in the drizzle.

He doesn't have much ill feeling towards this eldest son Chen, but the two families have been in a situation of endless death since the death of his eldest brother, and in Jinling, either only the Wei family or the Chen family are left.

The Chen family will not forget revenge, and similarly, the Wei family will not relax their vigilance, the state of the two families will not last long, and at the Jinling Chamber of Commerce in a few days, a winner will inevitably be decided.

As a result, the Chen family went to Maicheng again, but this time, once the Chen family lost again, they would be defeated, and there was no possibility of turning over. They invested too much this time, whether they were ruined or they gave it their all-out, and if they lost, they had nothing, not only would they lose everything in the Chen family, but they would not even be able to stay in Jinling.

The second is that the Wei family gave up the president of the Chamber of Commerce, but the result is even more terrible in the eyes of outsiders, at that time, the Wei family is a sheep that has taken off the wolf's skin, whether it is the Chen family or other merchants who have been pressed to death by Master Wei, they will turn into vicious dogs and pounce on them and bite hard! When the Wei family was dying, the Chen family's blood mouth was wide open, and the whale swallowed the Wei family, and there was not even scum left!

In everyone's eyes, there are only two things. The Chu family is not the Wei family, and Master Chu is not Master Wei, it is impossible for him to do what Master Wei once did.

Wei Qiao paced slowly, secretly thinking about the arrangement of the Chamber of Commerce.

For his father's backhand, Wei Qiao thought about it for a long time and didn't have a clue. After all, it had been several years since his death, and things had changed so much, how could we ensure that no matter what the changes were, they wouldn't affect his arrangements?

――It's so nerve-wracking.

"Okay, this is five taels of silver, a few clothes, you can take it, find a good place."

"Boss, you can stay with me, I can do other things besides watching the scene, you want me to have one, you can save several wages......"

Wei Qiao was walking, and there was a sudden noise from the restaurant in front of him.

"Okay, okay, let's go, I won't be able to find a place to live every night." The boss pushed a big, stout man out and retreated through the door.

The big stout man looked at the door nostalgically, for a long time, holding the clothes in his hand, turned around sullenly, and walked in the direction of Weiqiao with his head down.

"Hey, he's actually very good at fighting, if this restaurant doesn't have him, I don't know how much trouble it will have......"

"Yes, he used to mix in the gang, and he was really good at fighting, and he was very honest, but he was too good to eat......"

"I heard that he was also the best fighter in the gang, and he was kicked out because he ate too much......"

The crowd of onlookers whispered and discussed, all sympathetic and helpless.

This big stout man was wearing a shirt similar to a waistcoat, his muscular arms were exposed, and he looked to be at least 1.8 meters tall, with a simple face, pouting, frowning, and a distressed face.

Wei Qiao's eyes were shining, and he stood there still.

The big man kept his head down, kept walking, walked in front of Wei Qiao and stopped, looked up at him, his eyes blinked, seemed innocent, and turned to the right.

Wei Qiao took a slight step to the right, and stood in front of him again.

The big man froze, then turned to the left.

Wei Qiao raised his left foot and walked to the left.

The big man raised his head, frowned, and said with a silly expression, "What, the road is not your family, why don't you let me go?" ”

Wei Qiao smiled and said, "Don't you think we are destined?" ”

The big man's brows were still furrowed, and his voice muttered a little, "What's the fate, you don't hire me?" After saying that, he went to the right again.

Wei Qiao smiled indifferently, blocked him with his right foot, and said, "Look, there are so many people on the street, but you met me, so many people on the street, but I met you." You go to the right, I go to the right, I just want to go to the left, you have already walked over, you see, are we very fateful? And fate is not shallow! ”

The big man looked at Wei Qiao with shining eyes, and said quietly: "Don't think stupid, I'm not so easy to deceive, if you don't hire me, let me pass." ”

Wei Qiao looked at his arm and said with a smile: "You are very good at fighting?" ”

When the big man heard this, he flicked his arm, and hit a long log on the side, 'snap', and the long wood with Wei Qiao's wrist thickness fell down immediately in response, and the big man raised his eyebrows and looked at Wei Qiao, and said, "You see, if you don't get out of the way, don't blame me for being unkind." ”

"Which bastard did it, I have a grudge against your family, and you still won't let me go down......"

Before the big man could finish speaking, there was an extremely angry roar from above.

The two of them were stunned for a moment, and looked up. I found an uncle clinging to the wall, with a neat pile of straw on his head. Apparently, there was a rain leak in his house, and he went up to clean the roof by following the long log, which had been broken by a big man.

As his voice fell, six or seven ** half-body fierce men immediately poured out of the alley not far away, glaring at them with fierce eyes.

When the big man saw it, his small eyes blinked, and he looked at Wei Qiao, meaning: What should I do?

A smile flashed at the corner of Wei Qiao's mouth, and he ran away, but scolded in his mouth: "You are stupid, don't run yet!" ”

When the big man heard this, he immediately ran away, but after running two steps, he immediately turned around and followed Wei Qiao.

The two ran for a long time before they stopped. Wei Qiao panted and lay on the wall, turned his head to see that the big man's face was not red and out of breath, and he said curiously: "Aren't you tired at all?" ”

The big man stood in front of him with his clothes in his arms, and said quietly, "I'm not tired, it's easy for me to come this far away." ”

Wei Qiao was depressed in his heart, he exercised early every morning, and he had a little muscle all over his body, and he didn't want to be despised by a fat man.

Wei Qiao gasped for a while, turned his head to look at him and said, "Why are you following me?" ”

The big man blinked his eyes, looked at him fixedly, and said, "Didn't you let you run?" ”

Wei Qiao glanced at him and said, "Then I didn't let you follow me?" ”

The big man looked at Wei Qiao with small eyes, and said with a smile: "I want to run there if I run with you, and I think you are also like a good person, can you help me introduce things?" I can do the work of four people by myself, well, eat the food of four people, but only one salary, no, half a portion, not to, as long as there is a place to live. ”

Wei Qiao smiled indifferently, circled around him, and said, "How many can you fight alone?" ”

The big man also turned around with him, looked at him and said, "You are like this, I can fight a dozen." ”

The corners of Wei Qiao's mouth twitched slightly, and then he looked at him seriously, and said, "Well, yes, I just lack a long-term follower." Rice, full, and occasionally chicken thighs are eaten with meals. Provide accommodation, rent is free, wages are halved, there is something to help, nothing to take care of the nursing home, how about it, is there a problem? ”

"No problem, no problem, you can sleep in the firewood room." The big man immediately nodded again and again, with a smile on his face.

Wei Qiao nodded with a faint smile, turned around the corner, and said, "Then come with me." ”

is such an honest person, Wei Qiao's heart is a little unwilling.

The big man said yes and followed behind Wei Qiao.

Wei Qiao said as he walked: "What's your name?" ”

Dahan followed behind Wei Qiao with his clothes in his arms, and said, "I didn't have a name before, people called me Dashan, and then the boss gave me a name, called Xu Mao." ”

Wei Qiao nodded, walked to the door, and the two family members immediately greeted him, Wei Qiao pointed to Xu Mao and said, "Take him to take a bath, change his clothes, and then bring him to my yard." ”

"Yes, young master." One of them agreed, looked at Xu Mao and said, "Come with me." ”

Xu Mao looked at Wei Qiao, his small eyes blinked, and he was quite shocked.

Wei Qiao smiled and waved his hand, "Go ahead, I'll arrange a place for you to live later." ”

"Oh." Xu Mao said yes and followed behind the family, looking left and right with curious eyes.

Wei Qiao thought for a while, then turned around and walked towards his small courtyard. A while ago, who said that he would be protected by an entourage, and this was sent to the door.

Wei Qiao walked in the door and found that the two little girls were still working hard there, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't work so hard." Xiangling, go and ask your sister-in-law if she has come back? Wan'er, someone will come over later, you can arrange housing, well, arrange for the next person, a man, to live alone. I'm getting something to eat, the same dish, just five or six more steamed buns. ”

Wei Qiao, his personal bodyguard, didn't want to be abused, but he couldn't let him live too well all at once. Now a steamed bun Weiqiao can only eat one meal, and he estimates that Xu Mao can eat four or five.

The two little girls were stunned, hurriedly packed up their things, and agreed.

Xiangling was still a little curious, but as soon as she heard that it was a man, she was not interested, put the paper into the study, and walked towards Li Xiluan's small building.

Wan'er walked to the kitchen, there is a reading kitchen in Weiqiao's courtyard, but the meals are generally arranged by Wan'er, and Weiqiao really hasn't been there a few times.

Soon, Wan'er brought a few plates of side dishes, plus seven or eight steamed buns.

Wei Qiao was just about to take the chopsticks, but Xiangling at the door ran in again, and said crisply: "Young master, Madam is out and won't come back until the evening." ”

Wei Qiao was not surprised, nodded, and said, "Well, help me later... By the way, young master, I made money today, and you can go out and buy some things for me later, and also buy yourself two clothes. ”

Finally, I have a little young master's spirit. Wei Qiao took out the silver ticket of 10,000 taels and sighed in his heart.

Wan'er looked at the silver ticket in Wei Qiao's hand, smiled prettyly, stretched out her hand to take it, but she was stunned at first glance, her big eyes blinked, she looked at Wei Qiao and said, "Young master, this silver ticket ......"

Wei Qiao waved his hand arrogantly, picked up the chopsticks and said, "You don't have to care, I can still rob and steal so much silver at home, I will write a list for you later, you buy it as I said, and then buy yourself some beautiful clothes, beautiful rouge, the little girl should dress up well, don't save me for the young master." After Wei Qiao finished speaking, his heart suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.

Xiangling's eyes widened, staring at the silver ticket and said, "Young Master, how did you earn it?" ”

Wei Qiao glared at her angrily and said, "What do you think, you think that all the silver fell from the sky!" ”

The little girl grinned and didn't speak, knowing that Wei Qiao had guessed her thoughts.

Wei Qiao was eating, and the porter led Xu Mao over.

Xu Mao was dressed in a family clothes, washed it again, and the whole person was much more refreshing and neat, but when he looked at people, he obviously lowered his head and his small eyes were shining.

"Xu Mao." Wei Qiao shouted.

"Yes, young master." When Xu Mao heard this, he hurriedly ran over, bowed down, and answered loudly with a straight body. Apparently someone just taught him.

Wei Qiao nodded and said, "This is Wan'er, this is Xiangling, both of them are in my yard." Wan'er, he is Xu Mao, you call him Dashan, arrange a room for him first, and then take him around the yard to get acquainted with it. ”

Wan'er looked at Xu Mao and saw that he was a simple person, so she nodded lightly and said to Xu Mao: "Dashan, follow me." ”

Xu Mao hurriedly bowed to Wei Qiao and nodded, then turned around and followed Wan'er out.

After Wei Qiao finished eating, he walked to the study, wrote beads, fine wood, nails on the paper, and asked for a few other things, folded them and stuffed them to Xiangling, and said, "Later, with Wan'er, go out to buy some things from my daughter's house." I'll treat you as a young master. ”

Xiangling is now familiar with Wei Qiao's surname, and when she heard this, she nodded her little head again and again, and smiled sweetly at Wei Qiao: "Thank you, young master." ”

Wei Qiao smiled, stretched out his hand and wanted to touch her little head, but the little girl's body flashed and slipped out quickly.

The little girl just ran out, ran back again, and said, "Young master, a money shopkeeper outside the door is visiting." ”

Wei Qiao was just about to turn around, but he was stunned for a moment, and said, "Well, you invite him to the living room in front." ”

The little girl said yes and ran out again.

Wei Qiao held his chin in his hand and thought for a while, turned around and took a few things from the drawer before turning around and going out the door, walking towards the living room.

Qian Fang has inquired clearly, although he is not the largest merchant in Suzhou, he is also very important, especially among the jewelers, he has dominated the entire Suzhou. However, a year ago, it suffered a defeat in Tanzhou, and was boycotted by local large merchants in Tanzhou, and the defeat was returned. Therefore, for Chongzhou and Jinling, he has been planning for a long time, but he still does not dare to step into it easily.

Wei Qiao's eyes flashed, Jinling, Suzhou, Chongzhou, Tanzhou, are the four most developed places in Daqi, especially Suzhou is the most, Chongzhou is the second, Jinling is followed, Tanzhou is the tail.

Tanzhou is the southernmost, Jinling is the northernmost, and Suzhou and Chongzhou are very close.

Wei Qiao's eyes flashed, he stepped into the living room with a smile, looked at the money that was serving tea, and said with a smile: "Money shopkeeper, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, there have been a lot of things recently, and my sister-in-law is rarely at home." ”

Qian put down the cup, got up and smiled, and said, "Isn't it the same to find Wei Gongzi?" ”

Wei Qiao smiled and waved his hand to signal 'please sit', but he also knew that in Qian Fang's eyes, he estimated that he was the real person in charge of the Wei family, but Wei Qiao didn't explain.

The two sat down, Wei Qiao looked at Qian with a light smile and said, "The shopkeeper believes in our Wei family so much?" ”

Qian Fang was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Wei Qiao meant, with a confident face, his eyes burned: "I don't believe that the foundation created by Wei Gong will fall so easily, and I believe in Wei Gongzi even more!" ”

Although he said so on the face, he actually had no certainty in his heart about whether the Wei family could survive this crisis.

Wei Qiao didn't break it, smiled lightly, took out a rag from his arms, handed it over, and said with a smile: "The money shopkeeper has a look at this." ”

Qian Fang took it with some curiosity, stretched out his hand and looked at it, although he was not a cloth merchant and didn't know much about dyeing, but he was wearing all the best clothes, and he could know the general idea by touching it.

Qian Fang's eyes became more and more curious, and he looked up at Wei Qiao and said, "The Wei family's new dyed cloth? ”

Wei Qiao smiled faintly and said, "Yes, but this method is really good, but dyes are extremely scarce, and we are still looking for key dyes, and we can't produce them in large quantities yet." "Wei Qiao is telling the truth, but it does not affect misleading others.

Qian Fang nodded excitedly, and affirmed: "It doesn't matter, as long as there is this piece, the Wei family will enter Suzhou, and the resistance will be reduced by half!" He also knew what Wei Qiao meant by taking out this cloth, thought about it, and said: "The first batch of goods to Jinling, I will take out a few treasures that we pressed at the bottom of the box, and I will definitely not embarrass the Wei family." ”

Wei Qiao nodded with a smile and said, "Well, even if the money shopkeeper doesn't have it, we will take out a few pieces from the Wei family to support the scene, after all, this is also our business." ”

Qian Fang nodded with a satisfied face, he was originally worried that the Wei family's resistance to entering Suzhou would be too great, forcing them to die this time in cooperation, but with this rag, the Wei family will definitely be able to hit the ground running in Suzhou!

Wei Qiao's purpose is naturally to strengthen Qian Fang's determination to cooperate, seeing that the goal is achieved, Wei Qiao thought about it, and said: "I heard that the money shopkeeper also has a lot of connections in Jinling East?" ”

Jinling East is the traditional Chen family's strength range, and generally the cloth merchants there are the hardcore support of the Chen family, just like the cloth merchants in Jinling West are almost all staunch supporters of the Wei family.

Qian was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Master Wei, rest assured, Qian has been in business for many years, and this credibility is still there." ”

Wei Qiao waved his hand and said with a smile: "The money shopkeeper misunderstood, I mean, can the money shopkeeper introduce one or two acquaintances?" ”

Qian Fang listened to it, smiled awkwardly, thought about it, and said, "Well, there are indeed a few that can be introduced, why don't you make an appointment and let everyone come out for tea together?" ”

Wei Qiao smiled with satisfaction and nodded: "Well, I will talk to my sister-in-law in the evening, I think she will be extremely interested." ”

If some people can be pulled over from the Chen family's territory, the impact is estimated to be more than Wei Qiao imagined.

Qian Fang's eyes flashed with a smile, he knew Wei Qiao's thoughts, and similarly, Wei Qiao's heart was also clear. Both of them tacitly know each other's thoughts well, but they tacitly understand each other.

Qian Fang smiled, suddenly restrained his smile, and said solemnly, "By the way, there is one more thing." ”

Wei Qiao laughed too, and his eyes turned to him.

Qian Fang leaned closer, and said in a low voice: "Recently, many imperial businessmen have been in contact with the Chen family, I'm afraid that the Chen family has climbed into some big shots." ”

Wei Qiao raised his eyebrows, and suddenly felt that something had been ignored by him. Wei Qiao frowned, thinking carefully in his heart.

But he didn't think of anything for a long time, raised his eyes to Qian and said with a smile: "Well, Chen Ting is going to get engaged to Miss Zheng Jiasan." ”

Qian Fang also frowned, and then said: "Which side branch of the queen's own family is it?" ”

Wei Qiao nodded and said with a light smile: "This is not the Chen family's last hole card. ”

Qian Fang's eyes flashed, and he suddenly found that the water in Jinling was deeper than he thought. But I was also glad in my heart, fortunately I didn't step in, otherwise I don't know the remaining bones that were eaten.

Thinking of this, Qian Fang also looked up at Wei Qiao, his eyes concealed a trace of complexity, and said in a joking tone: "Then the Wei family is definitely not so simple as it seems on the surface?" ”

Wei Qiao smiled, glanced at Qian Fang meaningfully, and did not squeak.

For Wei Qiao's tacit attitude, Qian was a little more comfortable, because he already knew that the eldest son of the Chu family was under the Wu Bian Xiu Sect of the Hanlin Academy, and if Wei Qiao really said something, he would probably shake his confidence.

The two talked for a while, and Qian Fang got up to say goodbye. Except for some more critical ones, the two hardly touched on other details.

Wei Qiao gave the money out, looked at his back, and couldn't help laughing: "The Wei family was still stormy a while ago, but this time it has blossomed everywhere." ”

Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, Weiqiao is still stormy and precarious.

Wei Qiao thought for a while and then turned around and walked back to the small courtyard, and when he walked not far away, he couldn't help but be stunned.

I saw Xu Mao standing straight at the door, looking as serious as a palace guard.

Wei Qiao walked over, he immediately turned around, and said loudly: "I've seen the young master!" ”

Wei Qiao was startled by him, and just as he was about to ask again, four people poured out of the room.

Xiangling, Fu Qingyao, Fu Yang, Wan'er.

Wei Qiao glanced at the four people who were shouting, waved his hand, turned his head to look at Xu Mao again, and said curiously: "Dashan, who told you to stand here?" You are my long-term companion, not a gatekeeper. ”

Xu Mao was stunned for a moment, turned his head and blinked his eyes, looked at Fu Qingyao with a look of innocence, and said, "She said it." ”

Wei Qiao turned his head to look at Xiao Pepper, who had a pretty face, directly ignored Wei Qiao, and said with a cocked nose: "We all stand like this in our house." ”

Wei Qiao glared at her and said to Xu Mao: "Don't listen to her, she is not from our mansion." Let's go, let's go in. ”

With that, he took the lead and walked in.

Little Pepper's big eyes turned on Xu Mao's body, and he seemed to think it was funny, and was pulled by Fu Yang, and some of them were quite unwilling to look at Wei Qiao's back, and also followed into the house.

Wei Qiao, Fu Yang, and Little Pepper all sat down. Wei Qiao looked at the five or six steamed buns on the table, and said to Xu Mao, who was still standing behind him: "Dashan sit down, these steamed buns are prepared for you." ”

Xu Mao's Adam's apple moved, his little eyes widened, but his eyes drifted to Little Pepper.

Little Pepper's eyes glared and said, "If you want to eat, you can eat, see what I do!" ”

Xu Mao immediately squatted, sat on the edge of Weiqiao, reached out and grabbed two steamed buns, and stuffed them into his mouth.

Wei Qiao glanced at Xiao Pepper angrily, ignored her provocative eyes, turned his head to look at Fu Yang, and said, "Yunya, how is it, is there any trouble in the restaurant?" As soon as he said me, he said to Xiangling: "Go, bring the wine recipe in my drawer." ”

Fu Yang's face was dark, but his eyes were shining, and he smiled and showed a row of white teeth, and said, "No, I went to the house today, and my father asked me to bring something to the teacher." ”

Wei Qiao was stunned and said, "What is it?" ”

Fu Yang took out a scroll from under the table, handed it to Wei Qiao, and said, "This is it." ”

Several other people didn't know Fu Yang's origin, so they weren't surprised, but Wei Qiao couldn't help but be a little excited.

-- This is the head of the cabinet.

Wei Qiao reached out and took it and slowly opened it. As the scroll opened, Wei Qiao's eyes lit up.

I saw a sword drawn on the white rice paper, the blade was cold, the hilt was golden, and there were two big fonts on both sides of the sword: Qing, Jing.

What made Wei Qiao even more excited was that the payment was Fu Li, and the seal stamped was the first seal!

And not Fu Li!

Wei Qiao thought a lot about what was revealed in this for a while, but he couldn't be sure of much, just roughly guessing that this was some kind of encouragement and hint that Shoufu gave him.

Xiao Pepper and Fu Yang also followed to the side, but they were dumbfounded.

Generally, when giving away calligraphy and painting, the official seal is never used, but Fu Li just used it. No one would think that Shoufu didn't find the 'poetry seal' for a while, so he pressed this official seal!

-- That's a pure fool's idea.

Fu Yang looked at Wei Qiao in surprise, his father has always been the divine residence in his eyes, even if he has always been unpopular, he has never complained, and the belief in his heart has never wavered.

Fu Yang's eyes flashed in surprise, and he took it for granted, after all, he had seen too many incredible things in Wei Qiao. It is not surprising that his father sent a calligraphy and painting.

Little Pepper's face was a little wrinkled, her eyes were flashing, and her silver teeth were lightly grinded, obviously still quite unconvinced.

"Ahem" Suddenly, Xu Mao's face turned red, and his mouth was full of steamed buns.

Wei Qiao was stunned for a moment, hurriedly rolled up the painting scroll, poured a glass of water for Xu Mao, and said, "Eat slowly, it's all yours." ”

After speaking, he turned to Fu Yang and said, "First... Does Ling Zun have any other explanations? ”

Fu Yang was not surprised by Wei Qiao's movements, but Xiao Pepper was quite surprised, but he didn't expect Wei Qiao to pour water for his subordinates.

Fu Yang shook his head and said, "No, but the fifth brother told me." ”

"Oh, what did you say?" Wei Qiao's eyes lit up.

Fu Yang's face was a little strange, and he looked at Wei Qiao and said a little hesitantly, "Fifth brother said, it's time to meet your father-in-law." ”

Wei Qiao was stunned for a moment, looked at Fu Yang and said, "Did you tell you?" ”

Little Pepper blushed, pouted and turned away.

Fu Yang didn't care, frowned and said in distress: "I don't know, he just lowered his head and passed by us as if talking to himself." I didn't dare ask. ”

Wei Qiao's brows also frowned, Fu Mingzheng naturally wouldn't talk to himself for no reason, but his words were for himself, Fu Yang, or to him?

Wei Qiao thought for a while, and said to Fu Yang with a smile: "I didn't say it to you, you can rest assured that you will be your shopkeeper." As he spoke, he handed him the wine party on the table.

Fu Yang also felt that it was impossible, but he always had a little hope in his heart, after all, if he really wanted to see his 'father-in-law', it would be to see his grandfather.

Fu Yang smiled a little reluctantly, put away the wine party, and was just about to turn around and walk out, when he suddenly turned around and said, "This was stuffed to me when five people passed by, and I guess it was also for the teacher." As he spoke, he took out an iron plaque from his bosom and handed it over.

Wei Qiao took it and looked at it, his face was happy, and he said, "Well, it was indeed what Master Fu said would be given to me." ”

Fu Yang nodded and smiled, then turned to leave.

Seeing Fu Yang leaving, Wei Qiao stuffed the iron card into his arms, looked down at the painting scroll, looked up at the two curious little girls, and then turned his head to look at Xu Mao, who had already eaten and stood up, and said with a smile: "Full?"

Xu Mao nodded again and again, with a sincere smile on his face, and said, "Young Master Xie, you're full." ”

Wei Qiao nodded, and walked to the study with the scroll.

The meaning of this song should be pondered carefully, and the meaning of this Fu Mingzheng should also be pondered carefully.

"By the way, my sister-in-law came back and told me." Wei Qiao sat down at his desk and shouted into the hall.

"Eh," the little girl immediately agreed.

Wei Qiao spread out the scroll again, looking at the sword on the screen, the golden hilt, especially the 'Qing' and 'Jing', he immediately remembered a sentence in his mind.

-- Yasukuni is difficult to clear the monarch's side!

But as far as he knew, the phrase was clearly inappropriate to use here.

What exactly does that Shoufu mean? Also, did Fu Mingzheng's 'meet his father-in-law' mean it to him?

Wei Qiao frowned, staring at the calligraphy and painting in front of him with blazing eyes, and all kinds of thoughts turned in his heart.

These two words implied murderous aura, but he couldn't figure out what they meant. Moreover, it seems that Fu Ming must know about this painting.

After thinking for a long time, Wei Qiao suddenly whispered to himself, "Do you have to go to see your father-in-law to know?" ”

Immediately, he smiled bitterly again, and before he could skim the eight characters, the father-in-law called him. Thinking of 'father-in-law', Wei Qiao thought of the woman who was exceptionally docile to him, and his eyes couldn't help but drift again.

After a long time, Wei Qiao shook his head again, he generally didn't want to think deeply about these things that were too far away and uncontrollable.

With a sigh, Wei Qiao pulled out a book, spread it out on the table and read it.

"Young Master, Madam is back." I don't know how long it took, Wan'er walked over quietly and said softly.

Wei Qiao was stunned for a moment, put down the book and was about to get up, Wan'er hurriedly said: "The three shopkeepers are also here, and Madame is talking to them." ”

Wei Qiao said 'oh', sat back again, and said, "Which three shopkeepers are they?" ”

Wan'er obviously did her homework, and said, "It's Duan Feng, Qiao Zhengyan, and Tang Yudong, the three shopkeepers, they have been very supportive of Madame from the beginning." ”

Wei Qiao nodded and said, "Do you know what's going on?" ”

Wan'er pursed her lips and said in a worried tone: "I heard that the Chu family has made a move, and some shopkeepers in the south just entered Jinling yesterday and entered the Chu family. Just now, some of the Chu family's shops in Jinling were suddenly closed. ”

Wei Qiao was stunned for a moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes flickered. He didn't know if the affairs of the Chu family had anything to do with his troubles. But whether it matters or not, the Chu family finally has a move.

"Well, there you go." Wei Qiao waved his hand and said lightly.

Wan'er's pretty face seemed to hesitate, but she didn't ask, bent down slightly, turned around and walked out.

Wei Qiao looked at Wan'er's back, and knew that these people were worried, but he couldn't explain it now.

"The Chu family finally has a move." Wei Qiao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was not afraid that the Chu family would make a move, but he was afraid that the Chu family would not move. Such a behemoth stands there quietly, standing still in such a turbulent Jinling, which is really reassuring.

It wasn't until it was dark that the little girl came to deliver the message, and the three shopkeepers left.

Wei Qiao tidied up his clothes, said a few words to the two little girls and Xu Mao, and walked towards Li Xiluan's small building.

Finally, the smoke of gunpowder filled the air, and the turmoil broke out one after another.

(To be continued)
