At the residence of the second elder of the Wei family, as soon as the messenger reported that the shop had been smashed, the second elder became anxious and hurriedly stood up to leave, but was stopped by the fifth elder of the eldest son's family.
"Do you know who those people are?" the fifth elder asked.
The person who reported the news was stunned and said: "I heard from the shopkeeper that those are some elders of the big family. I took a look and it was true. They were all old guys in their seventies and eighties, leading a group of servants to control our store. It was smashed!"
"The elder of a big family?"
"A seventy-year-old guy?"
The fifth elder and Dugu Kuan looked at each other with fear in their eyes.
"You go down first!" Wei Yitang waved his hand and asked the messenger to go down.
"Brother Wei, could it be that they discovered Tufuzi's affairs?" the fifth elder said in a panic.
"Yes, Brother Wei, didn't you say it was foolproof and there would be no problems? How could such a situation happen?" Dugu Kuan asked.
"Don't worry, dear friends. I don't understand the situation yet. How about you let me go to the store and have a look first?" Wei Yitang comforted the fifth elder and Dugu Kuan.
"Let's go together. You go to the store and we'll check out the situation outside!" the fifth elder suggested.
The three of them took two carriages and headed towards the Webster Auction House.
At the Webster Auction at this time, the elders of more than a dozen big families waited for a long time but did not see the person in charge arrive. In anger, they ordered their guards to smash the auction house to pieces.
The owner of the auction was beaten up and bruised even if he tried to stop it. The officials from the surrounding counties and the people from the city defense department just watched with their arms folded, showing no intention of stepping forward to intervene.
It's not the county government. People from the city defense department can't control it at all. They can only say that they are here to prevent the situation from getting out of control and causing loss of life. As for the rest, they just turn a blind eye and let the gods fight. , they can’t help anyone.
In a restaurant across the street from the Webster auction house, Luo Zhang was sitting in a private room, shaking a jasper wine glass in his hand, which contained the 1982 Lafite.
Beside him, Li Yifu stood respectfully on the left, and Zhao Tianhu stood on the right. The two of them were like two great protectors.
"Have you found out who is causing trouble in the Dugu family this time?" Luo Zhang asked, looking at the smashed Webster Auction outside the window.
"It's Dugu Kuan, the third elder of the Dugu family. He is rebellious and very powerful in the family. He is on the same level as the head of the family. He has always been dissatisfied with the fact that Dugu Ancestor passed the title of head of the family to Dugu Xin, so he is always the enemy of Dugu Xin. , this is no longer a secret in the Dugu family!" Li Yifu bowed down to report.
"Xiao Huzi, give the letter on the table to Dugu Qiu and tell him that if he doesn't care about this person, then I will take care of him. If I take care of him, it will be life or death!" After Luo Zhang finished speaking, he drank it all in one gulp. He took the 1982 Lafite in the cup and said in a cold tone.
"Yes, little brother!" Zhao Tianhu hurriedly turned around and picked up a letter that had been written on the table and walked out. He didn't dare to let anyone send this thing, and he also had to carry a message, let alone pass it on to others. Of course, he would go there himself.
After Zhao Tianhu left, Luo Zhang continued to look out the window and asked Li Yifu who was standing aside: "Who is the Changsun family this time?"
"The fifth elder of the Changsun family this time, Changsun Hong, I heard that he wanted to avenge several elders, so he hooked up with Wei Yitang and joined forces with him to make you look bad!" Li Yifu said eloquently.
"Okay, it's all good. The labor and management didn't go looking for trouble with them. Instead, they posted them one by one to make trouble for me. They really don't know how to live or die!" Luo Zhang said with a playful smile.
"Are the people you asked to prepare ready?" Luo Zhang said without looking away from the window.
"Everything is ready!" Li Yifu said with a shock.
"Let them take action, remember, get these people out of here afterwards and don't keep Chang'an City!" Luo Zhang then turned to look at Li Yifu and warned.
"Yes, sir! I'm sorry to say goodbye!" After saying that, Li Yifu saluted, turned and left, making arrangements.
After the two left, Luo Zhang stood quietly in front of the window and watched. After a while, he saw Wei Yitang hurried over in a carriage.
As soon as I got off the carriage, I saw that my Webster Auction was in a dilapidated state, even the signboard had been torn down, and I almost lost my temper.
"Wei Yitang, what a good thing you did. You actually colluded with a group of local masters to dig up the ancestral graves of my Sun family. My Sun family is at odds with you!" An old man with white hair, leaning on a cane, pointed at Wei Yitang who had just got off the carriage. He cursed loudly.
"Wei Yitang, why did my Ma family offend you? Why did you dig up the ancestral graves of my Ma family?"
"Wei Yitang, if you are sensible, please hand over those local masters immediately, otherwise we will burn your auction house today!" Several old men with white hair on the side said indignantly.
A group of elders from big families denounced Wei Yitang and surrounded Wei Yitang who had just got off the carriage.
On the periphery, the people watching were also talking and pointing.
Of course, under the guidance of some thoughtful people, the direction of things is also changing.
"This is Wei Yitang. I heard that it was he who sent those local masters to dig up the ancestral graves of these big families and auction off the contents for profit!"
"Real or false? This is sworn hatred. Is Wei Yitang crazy?"
"No, I also heard that Wei Yitang is not only engaged in digging graves. The girl from the Wang family in the west of the city is as beautiful as a flower. Wei Yitang was seen by Wei Yitang who was passing by the day before yesterday. He directly asked the guards to take him into his carriage and wait for the Wang family girl to return. She was no longer perfect when she came home, and in the end the girl hanged herself out of shame, how tragic that was!"
"What, Wei Yitang is still doing this kind of thing?"
"Him? He has done a lot of bad things. Who dares to say anything usually? Even if he files a complaint with the government, no one dares to take care of it. Didn't you see that the Yanlai Tower was sealed off by the county magistrate assigned by him? He is the only one in Chang'an City. A man whose hands cover the sky!"
Naturally, Wei Yitang could not hear what the people were saying. He had invited the elders of the big families into a well-maintained room at the auction and was busy appeasing the old guys.
At this moment, there was a noise outside the gate of the auction for some unknown reason. An old man was seen pushing a cart. A white cloth covered the cart with a humanoid figure. The old man was crying while pushing the cart. : "Wei Yitang, you are worse than a beast. You robbed a common girl in broad daylight and caused my daughter to commit suicide in shame and anger. You give my daughter back!"
"Wow!"
The old man's voice caused the onlookers to burst into uproar, for no other reason than that someone had mentioned this just now. Many people still didn't believe it, but now it's better. The sufferer has come to the door, so they can't help but not believe it anymore. Did you see someone bringing in the body of his daughter?
"This Wei Yitang has really done something that is outrageous to both humans and gods. He is a beast, he is really a beast!"
"Wei Yitang, give me back my daughter!"
Wei Yitang, who was comforting the elders of more than a dozen big families, heard the noise coming from outside the gate. He felt very irritable and said to his subordinates: "Go and see what's going on. If anyone dares to cause trouble, get out of here." Walk!"
The guards obeyed the order and left, while Wei Yitang continued to entangle with the clan elders. It was impossible not to entangle them. Those native masters could never be handed over. If they were handed over, wouldn't they tell others that this matter was assigned by him? Then he hasn't become the target of public criticism?
"Every clan elder, listen to me. I really don't know about this. You also know that there are so many things going on in this auction. I am very busy every day. The people below are doing the receiving of the goods. When they see When it was profitable, I got greedy and took the stuff away!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation on this matter. What do you think?" Wei Yitang explained.
"Since you said it has nothing to do with you, we won't cause any trouble to you. Just hand over those local masters and we will leave immediately."
"Yes, hand over the native master and we will leave immediately!"
These old guys are not so easy to fool. Let me tell you, if I leave today, I am afraid that the matter will be settled. How could they leave so easily? They will not give up until the native master is handed over!
Wei Yitang listened to the words of these old guys and cursed in his heart. If he could, he would like to beat them all out, but he couldn't. These old guys seemed to have retreated, but everyone in the court was Deeply rooted, if he dares to do this, the Wei family will not let him go!
