The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and get down to business." Xu Da saw that he had been making a fool of himself for a long time and was afraid that Jiang Muxia would be annoyed with him.

Weidong pulled over a chair and sat around the stove.

"I have inquired about what you are talking about. You guessed correctly that the person responsible is my family's second-in-command." He sighed, "I really didn't expect that the eldest brother could do such a shameless thing even though the family business is so big."

Xu Da frowned, "Does your father know about this or is he involved in it?"

"I don't know." He looked sad. "But... you said, our housekeepers are all old people who have been with the Wei family for generations. How dare they do it without his permission? But I don't understand, what does he want so much money for?"

"Humph, why else?" Tang Zhongbai sneered, "Human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant!"

Jiang Muxia listened for a long time and guessed from just a few words that what they were talking about was probably human trafficking.

It turned out that it was their family who did it. The Wei family is really crazy.

"Is it possible that it was just your boss's doing? From what I know about the old man, although he values ​​money, he values ​​his life more. A person who values ​​his life would not do such a dirty thing, he is afraid of retribution." Xu Da's eyes were firm, "I believe in your old man."

"I don't believe it. The power of the family is in the hands of the eldest brother now. If he dares to do such a thing and the old man finds out, it will cost him his life." Wei Dong still didn't believe it.

"It doesn't matter. I'll find a chance to ask him." Xu Da said, "The day after tomorrow, it's time to treat him again."

"Diagnosis and treatment?" Jiang Muxia and Tang Zhongbai asked in unison.

I didn't expect that he had this kind of relationship with the Wei family.

"Don't you know?" Wei Dong said, "Back then, the old man was dying of illness. It was him who introduced himself and cured the old man's illness. The old man was grateful to him and gave him money, but he refused. He let him choose for himself, and he chose a shop at the ferry to open a tavern. That's when we got to know each other."

So that's how it is. It seems that Patriarch Wei is still kind to him.

"Yes, that was when I was at my lowest point. When I came to Suanzao County, I had nowhere else to go. If it weren't for Patriarch Wei taking me in, you wouldn't be able to see who I am now."

"So, with this relationship, would your judgment of Patriarch Wei be mixed with personal feelings?" Jiang Muxia pointed out the problem incisively.

Everyone looked at Xu Da, as if asking him, is this true?

Xu Da didn't say anything, his eyes became deeper, and he was also asking himself.

Really? Am I really too biased?

"Why do you hate kidnappers so much?" Xu Da asked Jiang Muxia, changing the subject.

In his eyes, Jiang Muxia didn't seem like someone who liked to meddle in other people's business.

Her eyes turned, and she suddenly thought of Aunt Jun's second daughter. Now that the source of human trafficking has been found, perhaps she can find her.

"Because my relatives were kidnapped." She said with hatred, "I have something to ask of you. Eight years ago in the spring, at the market in Zaoye Town, a little girl wearing a pink spring dress was kidnapped when she was eleven years old. Her name is Jiang Hongxin. If she is still alive, she would be nineteen years old this year. Can you help me find her?"

The three of them turned their eyes to Wei Dong.

"No, why are you all looking at me?" Wei Dong said helplessly, "Brother Xu, you know I have no status in the family. The eldest and second sons are the ones who make the decisions in my family. I am a bastard, so I am lucky to live a peaceful life!"

"You... don't want the Wei family to get back on track and let them do these evil things?" Jiang Muxia said with a serious face, looking straight into his eyes.

In the past, the Wei family was not as prosperous as it is now. They only had five or six small cargo ships. Later, the old head of the family passed away, and Weidong's father took over the family. The Wei family was like a ship sailing with the wind. They first took over the management rights of the ferry, and then added several merchant ships.

It took only two years to get this.

"When did your family take over the ferry?" Tang Zhongbai suddenly asked.

"It was the first year of Yuanhe. I remember that the county had a new magistrate at that time, and he re-selected merchants to manage the ferry. My old man often went to the county government office during that period." Wei Dong's eyes showed hatred. "My aunt died at that time. He didn't care or ask anything, and just let the servants bury her hastily. So... I remember it very clearly."

Ten years ago? Tang Zhongbai thought that at that time, his father had just taken office in the county for less than a year and needed a large number of confidants to take up posts in various places. As a retainer, Feng Nian was sent by his father to the most important Suanzao County.

He stayed there for ten years, but during these ten years, he did not make any significant political achievements.

The number of letters requesting transfers increases year by year.

"Ten years ago? Feng Nian took office in the county. Two years later, people frequently disappeared in the county. Did your family also prosper?" Tang Zhongbai felt more and more frightened as he spoke. "Could it be...?"

He didn't dare to say anything more. This man was an elder who had been with him for seven or eight years. In his heart, he was once a relative.

"What a collusion between officials and businessmen." Jiang Muxia said what he dared not say, "Suanzao County has been messed up by these people. I heard that your Wei family has set their sights on a residential area in the southeast of the city. Now you are going door to door to mobilize them to move out as soon as possible. Construction will start in the spring."

She sneered, "Each family was only compensated ten taels of silver. From what they said, if we move too late, we won't even have ten taels. You, the Wei family, are really great."

She heard about it from Uncle Guan when she sent Xiao Tiedan and his sister home two days ago. He, a seven-foot-tall man, was so overwhelmed that his eyes turned red and his voice choked with sobs.

Life is hard enough already, and these rotten people want to step on it and make it even more miserable.

Their ancestors have lived here for generations. Can you drive them away just because these bad guys say they like your place?

"When did this happen? How come I don't know about it?" Tang Zhongbai's face darkened and he glared at Wei Dong. "Whose permission did you get?"

Wei Dong had a hard time speaking. "You, don't come at me. If Miss Jiang doesn't tell me, I don't know."

"So, as a member of the Wei family, are you still going to watch them do evil?" Jiang Muxia looked straight at him, with expectations in her heart.

She could see that this man was a laughing man and not very serious. But he must have something extraordinary to be able to make friends with Xu Da.

If her guess was correct, he was able to successfully enter the Qingyi Gate today, and he was also involved in this nursery.

"Mu Xia, don't force him. His situation is not something we can empathize with. He knows what he should do." Xu Da paused and said, "In fact, he has done enough..."

Seeing that he looked troubled, Xu Da spoke up to help him out.

"Okay." Jiang Muxia nodded. She was too reckless. She wanted to persuade him to go against her family when they first met. It was indeed a bit aggressive.

The room became quiet, and everyone was thinking about their own things.

"Okay, it's too late, let's all go back." Xu Da stood up. The topic tonight was too heavy and everyone was in a bad mood.

Everyone went their separate ways, and Jiang Muxia and Xu Da rode in the same car.

"Miss Jiang." Before she sat down, someone called her from outside the car. She lifted the curtain and saw it was Wei Dong.

"I will do my best in this matter you have entrusted to me, but I cannot guarantee the outcome." His eyes were stern and his posture was firm.

She nodded and said, "Thank you."
