Although Old Wu had known about Wei Ping's quick-and-dirty temper many years ago, the two brothers had been separated for so many years, and now they finally met each other but had not even gotten along for two days before Wei Ping just slapped his ass and left. , which made Lao Wu feel somewhat disappointed.
However, he could also understand that Wei Ping had a free and uninhibited temperament. He had been imprisoned by Qin Yuezong and his son for more than twenty years. Now that he was finally out of trouble, he must be like a bird out of its cage. Naturally, he would be free and roaming around the mountains and rivers.
He couldn't control him back then, and now that they are both the same age, there is no need to control him. However, Old Wu still feels sorry for his little junior brother in every possible way.
Although he was a bit naughty and mischievous around him back then, the two of them had grown up together after all. Seeing him transform from the handsome young man back then to an old man almost like himself, he had not enjoyed this person for almost half his life. The beauty in the world actually makes me feel a little unwilling for him.
But considering that Wei Ping himself is so open-minded, why would he continue to be miserable and helpless?
Now Weiping has gone on a tour, but the Qin family and his son have not yet received the final punishment. Now that the matter has not been completed, he and Shao Xi naturally cannot leave Huaichang City.
However, it is not convenient to show up during this period, so the rest will be left to Taihe Trading Company.
…
Speaking of which, the Qin family has been in a state of flux these days. Ever since the Qin Yuezong knew that Qin Miao had mortgaged all the Qin family's property, he dismissed all the servants in the family. How can the Qin family still be able to survive now? Can you afford a servant?
Now, the father and son are either selling off their property to repay their debts, or waiting for Taihe Trading Company to take away their property.
In short, the father and son knew that in a few days they would become homeless and beggars living on the streets.
At this time, Qin Yuezong no longer had the energy and spirit that he used to harm others. Now he is very anxious. Every day he is thinking about how the father and son will survive after losing their family property.
He was no longer what he was back then. If he returned to his old career and started stealing again, he would feel that it would be too forced, but what could he do?
At this time, he really regretted not passing on his skills to Qin Miao. At least he could still make a living by climbing over walls.
Now that his son is already in his fifties, it is too late to learn this profession. It seems that he will have to rely on himself to support his son from now on.
During this period, Qin Miao was very pragmatic, secretly selling as much of the salable items at home as possible and saving some money for future emergencies.
But this was only a drop in the bucket compared to the wealth that his Qin family had lost. At most, it could prevent the father and son from starving to death in a short period of time.
Being accustomed to being a rich man, he naturally developed a problem with being rich. After losing his family fortune, he didn't know how to adapt to the life of a poor man.
Seeing that the day for Taihe Commercial Bank to collect debts was approaching, Qin Yuezong called Qin Miao to the study. The father and son felt various emotions in their hearts when they saw that the huge house in front of them was about to change hands.
But right now, the father and son still have one more trouble to deal with, and that is Weiping, who is imprisoned in the dungeon.
You know, after the house is taken away, it is not strange that there is a secret passage in your home, and there is a secret room in the secret passage, but if there is a living person locked in this secret room, it will be a troublesome thing!
If this kind of thing was discovered by Taihe Trading Company and reported to the officials, the father and son could not expect the officials in the county to take care of them without the support of their family wealth.
When the time comes, when the father and son are taken to jail and questioned about the reason, are those scandalous things back then about to be exposed?
Therefore, Qin Yuezong brought Qin Miao here today to discuss how to deal with Wei Ping's matter. Should he take advantage of these days to intensify questioning about the whereabouts of Wei Ping's treasure map, or should he seize Wei Ping's treasure map before the house is taken away? Dispose of it?
Now this person is like a time bomb hanging over the heads of the father and son. If it explodes, the father and son will be completely destroyed.
"Miao'er, now my Qin family is completely ruined and has nothing. The source of all this is just because you and I, father and son, only want to get the treasure of Wuhai Kingdom. Now that we have reached this point, the guard who is locked in the dungeon How should we deal with it?
"If he keeps it, he must be forced to find out the whereabouts of the treasure map before the property is taken away. Otherwise, he must be dealt with as soon as possible. Otherwise, we, father and son, will definitely be involved in a lawsuit because of this person. You What do you think we should do now?”
After knowing that she was deceived by Shao Xi, she returned to the Qin family and was beaten and scolded by Qin Yuezong several times. Now Qin Miao is like a mouse seeing a cat, hiding as far away as he can from Qin Yuezong.
Today, I was suddenly called to the study by my father. I was still thinking that Qin Yuezong would beat and scold him again, but I didn't expect that my father would be so calm and discuss with him about how to deal with Wei Ping. thing.
After all, the father and son are connected. At this time, the only people who can come up with ideas and discuss with each other are the father and son.
I wonder if it’s because you’ve done so many immoral things in the past that even God can’t look down upon you? The Qin family has no descendants since Qin Miao came here. Qin Miao has had many wives and concubines for so many years but has never been able to have any children.
This incident caused Qin Yuezong to take in a lot of concubines and wanted to have one or two sons. Unfortunately, he was getting older and could not do so.
So now only the father and son are left in the Qin family, and it is foreseeable that the future will be bleak.
But no matter what, there is always someone to discuss things with. At this time, the Qin family father and son truly feel that they depend on each other.
Seeing that his father was discussing Wei Ping's affairs with him so calmly today, Qin Miao calmed down and weighed the pros and cons, and finally put forward his own ideas.
"Father, we can no longer keep Wei Ping! We have imprisoned him for nearly thirty years, just to get the whereabouts of the treasure map, but he has never spoken. It seems that he will not speak now. Instead of If we keep him here to cause trouble for us, it is better to get rid of him as soon as possible. My Qin family has already suffered a great disaster and cannot bear any more heavy losses."
Although Qin Yuezong felt that what Qin Miao said was reasonable, even now, he was still unwilling to accept the treasure map incident.
If it weren't for the treasure map, he wouldn't have kept his fellow junior in the dungeon for more than twenty years. If it hadn't been for the treasure map, he wouldn't have been tricked by Shao Xi, a young young man with no hair at all. Gotta be like a monkey.
Now that all the family wealth has been lost, this treasure has become the Qin family's last hope for a comeback. If Wei Ping is killed at this time, the Qin family will have no chance of making a comeback.
Qin Yuezong always wondered if he could prick Wei Ping's mouth again. Maybe he had been imprisoned for more than twenty years, and now he couldn't bear it anymore?
If Weiping really informed his father and son about the whereabouts of the treasure map, even if they lose their family property now, if they can find the treasure of Wuhai Kingdom in the future, they may be able to turn things around and make a comeback.
At the same time, as Qin Miao said, Wei Ping has refused to speak for so many years. Is it possible for him to speak now?
Qin Yuezong felt uneasy and anxious in his heart. He was unwilling but full of uncertainty, so he finally decided to question Wei Ping one last time before dealing with him.
Wei Ping would take his life regardless of whether he said it or not. If he said it, the Qin family would still have hope to turn around. If he didn't, he would definitely be left alone to avoid causing more trouble to himself.
Wei Ping was going to die no matter what today, so Qin Yuezong wanted to take a gamble and give it one last try, hoping to get the secret of the treasure map.
"What you said is indeed true. I don't have much hope for him, but before that, you and I, father and son, should give it a try! If he really said it, our Qin family would still have Hope, if he doesn’t say it, he will die even more.”
At this time, Qin Yuesong gritted his teeth, and all kinds of unwillingness and resentment surged into his heart like a tide.
If Wei Ping had honestly told him the whereabouts of the treasure map back then, perhaps the Qin family would have been richest in the world, and how could they have ended up in such a miserable situation?
Qin Yuezong always felt that Weiping was blocking his way to make money, but he never thought that the treasure map was not his in the first place, but his greed prompted him to take it from others.
Perhaps because this thought had lasted for too long, he actually felt that Weiping had stolen the treasure map from his hands. He actually thought that the thing was his, and even shamelessly hated Weiping.
If someone blocks his way to make money, he will hate it. Now he wants to cut off other people's way of life and take away other people's way of making money. Instead of taking advantage of this, he feels that he has suffered a big loss.
In reality, there are actually quite a few people who feel disadvantaged if they cannot take advantage.
Qin Yuezong's hatred for Wei Ping can be said to be unreasonable but justified. This is the madness born of a greedy and twisted heart.
When Qin Miao saw his father saying this, he knew that he was still unwilling to accept it, but now he could only treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor. He would give it a last try. Regardless of whether he could find out the whereabouts of the treasure map, Weiping today All must die.
So Qin Yuezong walked to the bookshelf, turned the vase to open the entrance to the secret passage, and the father and son entered the secret passage together and headed to the dungeon.
They planned to question Wei Ping again, hoping to get the whereabouts of the treasure map from him.
This is also the last time for the father and son for more than 20 years. No matter what happens after this time, they will kill Weiping, and take him to the garden at night to bury him under a tree, and then destroy his body. In order to prevent people from discovering the dirty things he and his son had done after the family property was taken away.
Arriving at the door of the dungeon, Qin Yuezong took out a long key from his waist and opened the iron lock on the door. The father and son lifted the iron bolt, opened the iron door of the dungeon and walked into the dungeon.
When Qin Yuezong and his son entered the dungeon, they couldn't help being surprised at the same time!
Where are people? Where have people gone?
