Da'an's best son-in-law

In the early morning of autumn, Jizhou City was still covered with a light layer of fog.

Because of what happened last night, Ye Chen and Wei Yanran immediately went to Mr. Wei's mansion and held a clan meeting of the Wei family.

This matter is related to the life and death of the Wei family, and there is no room for error.

"How dare you attack my Wei family? Are these gangsters so brave as to be brave?"

In the living room, Wei Zhongwu slapped the back of the chair with his palm and said angrily

Wei Zhongyan was also frowning at this time, his face was as dark as water, and the atmosphere in the entire hall was a bit frighteningly depressing.

Things have happened one after another in the Wei family's silk and satin shop recently, and the Chen family's actions have become more and more serious. Now that something like this happened again, it will undoubtedly make things worse.

"Okay, second brother, don't get so angry." Seeing Wei Zhongwu so excited, Wei Zhongwen, who had always played the role of a good old man, quickly came out to smooth things over. "Ye Chen only heard a general idea, maybe the matter is not that serious."

Wei Zhongwu on the side heard this and said with unabated anger

"No matter who dares to have thoughts about this piece of silk silk, I, Wei Zhongwu, will never tolerate it!"

Having said that, Wei Zhongwu turned to Old Master Wei, who was in the first place, and asked for his orders, "Father, this batch of silk is of great importance. I should take the guards of the Wei family to handle it myself."

Contrary to his raging anger, the rest of the people looked extremely ugly and remained silent in tacit agreement.

Who is Mo Feng? Within a hundred miles, almost no one can escape the caravan goods that Mo Feng likes. Even though the government sent out heavy troops to encircle and suppress them many times, the former escaped without exception.

This kind of person with a reputation for evil is now targeting Ling Luosha of their Wei family. The Wei family has great power in Jizhou, but in front of such desperadoes, they may not have the slightest deterrence.

"I think this is just Ye Chen's hearsay. The authenticity may not be guaranteed. It's better to be conservative." Wei Zhongwen quickly put down the teacup in his hand and comforted him.

Ye Chen frowned and looked at the people in front of him with different behaviors, trying to get some clues from them.

Before coming to the clan meeting, he had already made a rough analysis of the matter.

The only people who can learn about Ling Luosha and have the qualifications to contact Mo Feng are senior members of the Wei family. In other words, everyone here is suspected.

On the surface, the Wei family is in harmony, but secretly they are fighting openly and secretly. There are many people who covet the huge family fortune. They are usually suppressed by Wei Yanran's iron fist and have no chance.

If the Wei family is troubled internally and externally, there may be some opportunities for some people to make peace with the hostile forces.

Wei Zhongwu was Ye Chen's first suspect. After all, based on the former's usual behavior, he was most likely to do this.

Although Wei Zhongwu's second brother-in-law appears to be showing off his power, in fact he has always been suppressed by Wei Yanran. If there is civil strife in the Wei family, the former's chances of fighting for the position of power will also be greatly increased.

However, the former's performance really doesn't look like a performance...

In his previous life, he had been ups and downs in the business world for so many years. Ye Chen believed that his ability to recognize people was quite good. If Wei Zhongwu's reaction was fake and he wouldn't feel the slightest violation, then the former's acting skills were really too good. Too perfect.

Wei Zhongyan has remained silent, but he is the most unlikely one. Wei Yanran has an absolute advantage in inheritance rights. By doing this, he is shooting himself in the foot.

As usual, Wei Zhongwen plays the role of a harmonious and good old man, but it is this kind of behavior that makes his status in the Wei family very unclear, and it is easy to be ignored...

Withdrawing his scrutinizing gaze, Ye Chen felt a little dizzy. Even if he was Sherlock Holmes, it would be useless to make such random guesses without evidence.

The most important thing is that the familiar voice he heard last night did not appear in the venue today.

"Mo Feng's group are all desperadoes who bear human lives. Even if the second uncle personally brings the guards to greet him, it will probably be of no use."

This time, he was not trying to ridicule Wei Zhongwu. The guards of the Wei family all looked tall and powerful, but at most they were just looking after the family and the courtyard, and cleaning up some gangsters.

If the former really led this group of people to welcome that batch of silk, I'm afraid that Mo Feng, his people and all the goods would be picked up in one go.

Hearing Ye Chen's words, Wei Zhongwu, who was still excited, froze.

After pondering for a while with a complicated expression, Wei Zhongwu leaned back on his chair helplessly, surprisingly not refuting Ye Chen's point of view.

The atmosphere in the hall became deserted again because of Ye Chen's speech.

In contrast to everyone's busy discussions, Mr. Wei always sat at the head of the table with a cane and looked calm, watching the discussions quietly.

Old Mrs. Wei's majestic gaze swept across the silent crowd, and finally rested on Ye Chen. "Tell me what you think."

After all, the former is also a person who has experienced strong winds and waves. Although he is old now, he can still remain calm in the face of such a critical situation.

Everyone in the hall focused their attention on Ye Chen, expecting Ye Chen to have some emergency ideas. Although Ye Chen's position in the Wei family was very awkward, at this moment, he couldn't care about that anymore.

"Reporter"

Ye Chen said calmly

Report to the official?

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Wei family, including Mrs. Wei, couldn't help but have a look of surprise on their faces.

If there is not enough evidence to prove it, the officials of the Da'an Dynasty will not get involved in family affairs. And everything now comes from the conversation Ye Chen heard last night, which can even be said to be groundless.

The government is also very busy with official duties on weekdays. Can they take care of this kind of thing...

Feeling the doubts from the people around him, Ye Chen explained to Mr. Wei

"Grandpa, as far as I know, the Wei family has always provided the silk and satin expenses for the magistrate's house in Jizhou City."

Old Mrs. Wei stroked his beard and nodded thoughtfully.

The government might not pay attention to this kind of thing when some common people came to the caravan just now, but with the power of the Wei family in Jizhou, this is a major matter that needs to be taken seriously.

The reason why the Wei family was able to become one of the four major families in a short period of time was not only to seize the opportunity of the boom in water transportation, but also to pay tribute to the government every month.

As Ye Chen said, almost all the silk and satin in the Jizhou magistrate's house are provided free of charge by the Wei family regardless of cost, and the amount of money they contribute each year is only a few thousand taels.

Under the protection of the government, the Wei family can be said to have a powerful eye in Jizhou City in recent years. In other words, the Wei family has established a lot of favors with the prefect of Jizhou.

Seeing that Mr. Wei understood what he meant, Ye Chen immediately said

"The purpose of making a favor is to save emergencies. Grandpa, if this favor is not used now, when will it be used again?"
