Chapter 7383 I don’t have the guts!

Taian City.

Wei Family Courtyard.

"Father, Wei Linqi is probably not in the governor's mansion." The speaker was Wei Wuji, a well-known member of the Wei family. At this moment, he was not as arrogant and domineering as he was outside. Instead, he looked modest and cautious. He was leaning on the chair in front of him. Old man, respectful and awe-inspiring.

The old man who is half leaning on the chair is wearing an embroidered silk outer coat, with a round face full of red. He has a jade ring on his finger and a beautiful jade around his waist, showing his wealth and splendor.

"Of course Wei Laosan is not in the Sheriff's Mansion." Wei Dewang said slowly.

"Father, do you know that he is not in the governor's house?" Wei Wuji was stunned.

“How dare Xu Santong and He De take over Wei Laosan?”

“He doesn’t have the guts!”

“There is someone else who took Wei Laosan away. That person should be from the imperial court.”

Wei Dewang said calmly.

"It turns out that someone from the imperial court intervened! No wonder my father recently mobilized his family's power and began to hide in various places." Wei Wuji said.

"The Wei family cannot face the imperial court directly yet. The visitor should be from the capital. If there are hidden forces in Taian City that we don't know about, they must be the hidden guards of the imperial court."
< br>"I can conclude that the person coming is a senior member of the Hidden Guard." Wei Dewang said.

"Father, how should our Wei family respond? Should we withdraw from Taian City completely?" Wei Wuji was a little worried. The hidden guards of Da Qi that the Wei family faced now were not the ones who were ignored like Xu Santong. The lame Sheriff can compare...

It is easy to deal with Xu Santong, but difficult to deal with the hidden guards! There's no way to fight head-on.

"The hidden guards cannot take innocent people. I have already written to my old friend. There are many of us in the court. Some of them who have been fed by our money will speak up for us. The emperor cannot Provoking everyone's anger."

Wei Dewang cleared his throat and said: "Besides, I have already made secondary preparations. People from the north will come as requested."

"From the north. Who is that?" Wei Wuji asked.

"This is why my father called you here. You are getting older and there are things at home that you should know..." Wei Dewang said.

Hearing this, Wei Wuji took a breath in his heart. He had long wanted to participate in more affairs of the family. However, his father always said that he was still young and it would be best to practice for a few years. As a result, he was very well-known outside and in the family. The family status is not high and the power is very small.

"Yes, father, the child is always ready." Wei Wuji hurriedly expressed his position.

"Okay, my son, this time you will accompany your father to pick up the people from the north."

"This time the people from the north are high-ranking officials of the Northern Zoroastrian Cult. Who is it? We can just wait in the backyard, and we must be respectful and don't make any mistakes." Wei Dewang warned.

"The big shot of the Zoroastrian Cult in the north! This is incredible. Father, are we going to greet you right here? No need to set it up, call for more people?"

Wei Wuji said.

The backyard environment is now quiet, with flowers and birds singing, but it is too clean and not formal enough.

"No, the distinguished guests from the north are coming in secret. We cannot let outsiders know. The people inside the Wei family are also mixed, so we have to guard against them." Wei Dewang said.

"Father, are there traitors in our Wei family?" Wei Wuji was slightly surprised.

"Wei Laosan has already left Tai'an City. There is no doubt about it this time. How could he leave? There are people from our Wei family in the four city gates. Why can't we check? There must be something inside. A traitor from the Wei family." Wei Dewang sneered.

He had already received a report that someone saw the owner's carriage leaving the city gate.

The owner's car... is his own car. Even if it is an old car, there should be someone in the family keeping it, so it is impossible to leave the city without permission. He sent someone to investigate and found that the carriage had been stolen recently, and the coachman who lost the carriage had absconded in fear of crime. The insiders of the whole matter either disappeared or committed suicide, and the clues were completely cut off.

This made him have to suspect that there was a traitor within the Wei family, or a traitor with a higher status, maybe it was the hidden guard who lurked in.

He has sent people to conduct an internal review of the Wei family, but there has been no progress so far. There are no clues at all, and not even a suspect can be found.

"Father, I am willing to find this traitor for my father!"

When Wei Dewang revealed that the Wei family traitor used the family owner's carriage to take away Wei Linqi, Wei Wuji immediately angrily expressed his intention to find this person.

"No, do you know whether there is one traitor or multiple traitors? I can't tell, but at this precarious moment, we cannot have chaos within the Wei family, so we cannot conduct censorship in a big way, as that will cause chaos in the Wei family!"

Wei Dewang is still clear-headed. If he pursues the "traitor" in a big way, it will only intensify the internal strife in the family.

"Father, let the traitor go like this? I'm not willing to do it." Wei Wuji gritted his teeth and said.

What he hated most in his life was not enemies, but traitors. Being betrayed by one of his own was the most infuriating thing.

"The review has been ongoing and has not stopped. I believe that the traitor will show his flaws sooner or later. As long as he acts, he will leave traces." Wei Dewang said coldly, with a fierce look in his eyes.

If it is found out who this person is, no matter who he is in the family, he will impose the most cruel punishment on him, and he will definitely live or die.

"My father is wise, but my father's approach is safer." Wei Wuji said.

"Come, sit here and drink tea, waiting for the distinguished guests to come." Wei Dewang slowly closed his eyes. Since he got older, he has begun to cultivate his body and nature. When he has the opportunity, he will practice inner qigong with his eyes closed and strengthen his inner strength. To increase longevity.

He has many wives and concubines, countless wealth, and he has not enjoyed enough. How can his body be good if his bones are not well maintained.

Wei Wuji was sitting nearby. He knew that his father was already cultivating his body and mind and practicing internal qigong. He did not dare to disturb him. He picked up the purple clay pot, put it on the stove and started to make tea.

Half an hour passed quickly.

A green shadow suddenly fell next to the rockery in the yard.

“Father!” Wei Wuji said hurriedly.

"Get up, the distinguished guest is here!"

Wei Dewang stood up and stepped forward to greet him.

The shadow appearing in front has been completely revealed.

This is an elegant middle-aged man wearing a green robe, with his hands behind his back and a faint smile on his lips.

"Mr. Wei, we say goodbye and you are well." The middle-aged man said loudly.

"My lord is here in person. The Wei family is really in full bloom!"

"After so many years, your lord's style is still the same, which is gratifying!"

Wei Dewang's eyes burst out with a bright light. , his expression was truly excited.

The voice he spoke was a little trembling.

“When I left last year, I once said that we would see each other again, but I didn’t expect that we would be apart for fifteen years.”

"However, we will see you again after all." The man in green sighed.
