But what's the use of envy? She was born in Dingbei Marquis's Mansion, and she has a mother who was a sister of Empress Ming. No matter how many storms she went through, she stood firm. Now even Emperor Longqing gave her some face and let her go. The other day, because she caught a cold when she entered the palace, he even specially awarded her 100 acres of land. With so many acres of land, she could sell for at least 10,000 taels of silver. If she had this amount of money...
Money, money. I didn’t realize it when I was rich in the past, but now that I’m short of money, I realize it. It’s true that a penny can make a hero fall.
He looked at the pawn ticket in front of him with a gloomy look, and after a while he suddenly tore it into pieces, threw it all over the floor, sneered at the person in front of him, and fiercely ordered him to leave: "I will naturally return the money, but I can't do what you want me to do!"
He has been an official for so many years and is not a fool. Jiang Songwen's affair did not implicate him and he avoided it, which shows his calmness and clarity.
This time it was obvious that someone was targeting him and had seen through his secrets, so they came to frame him and wanted him to be the first to take the lead in framing others.
At the beginning, she just led Wei Yangqing to those brothels frequently. To be honest, these things were not a big deal. Men are all unfaithful.
Although Wei Yangqing was about to marry a concubine, the concubine had not yet entered the house, right? Even if he often went to those places, he could say that it was for social events, which was not a big deal. Those people wanted him to take Wei Yangqing there often, and he thought it was not a difficult task anyway, so he did it.
He fully expected those people to let him go, and he even made up a story about his own troubles to arouse Wei Yangqing's sympathy. But now, not only did these people not let him go, they became even more aggressive and their demands became more and more excessive.
He looked at the person in front of him angrily and said in a deep voice: "Get out!"
The man walked over calmly, sighed, shook his head and said with regret: "You are in such a difficult situation, why are you still so angry? People always say that a man who knows the current situation is a hero. It is unreasonable for a person as knowledgeable as you to not understand this principle, right? Besides, you have already started something, why don't you finish the rest? It will save you from a bad ending, don't you think?"
Zhang Weixun took a deep breath, his patience exhausted, he sneered with gritted teeth: "Bullshit! You used threats and inducements to force me to lead Wei Yangqing to the red-light district. I thought you just wanted to ruin his marriage. I thought as long as you didn't go too far and didn't involve me too much, I would have tolerated it if you threatened me with something. But now you are going too far and even want me to... think about the river bank! This is a big deal of confiscating the family and losing your head. Do you know that if I am involved, if there is any mistake, our whole family will die?! I will still count on this deal if I lose my whole family for this little money!"
He held his anger and looked at the person in front of him, who seemed to be ferocious and murderous. He just wanted to get this troublesome Buddha away as soon as possible.
The atmosphere in the room froze for a moment, and the man looked at the person in front of him and snorted: "Don't be so shameless!"
Zhang Weixun was also desperate. He couldn't help but slammed the table and yelled: "Master Dong! I respect you as a relative of Master Jiang, so I am polite to you, which can be regarded as giving you face, but you should not push me too far! You can't force a cow to drink water, let alone I am a living person! If you push me too far, I will file a memorial to accuse you, and we will all be embarrassed and the result will be bad, don't you agree?!"
This was a threat, and he couldn't care less. His life had been extremely frustrating up to this point, let alone his face. As long as he could protect his family and not be ridiculed by others, it would be good enough.
He knew his own weight and the background of the people opposite him. These people did not take other people's lives seriously. If they wanted to fight, let them fight. If he got involved, then he would be really crazy.
What kind of situation is the Wei family in now? Everything is going smoothly for them now. In the palace, they have Emperor Longqing who takes good care of them, and outside, they have Marquis Pingxi to protect them. Wei Yangqing himself is also well behaved and people can't find any faults with him. It is the time of glory. If they run into him now, it would be like hitting a rock with an egg.
This was an unprofitable deal. Dong Chengqi was a relative of Jiang Songwen. His good days were over after the Jiang family went bankrupt and all his relatives died. So he had no choice but to fight. However, he only lost some money. It was not worth it to risk his life for these things. It was really not worth it.
Dong Chengqi stared at him intently, and sneered after a while: "Some things are beyond your control. You can't just say you don't want to do them and then you can stop doing them. You know, who seduced Wei Yangqing to go out and have sex? Who asked Wei Yangqing to go to another manor to eat wild game? Who was the one who said bad things about him to the Marquis of Ping'an before? Let me tell you, there are no fools in the Marquis of Pingxi's mansion, let alone the Marquis of Dingbei's mansion. That damn girl Wei An is so shrewd that she is almost inhuman. Even if you withdraw temporarily, if we plot against Wei Yangqing and fail or reveal the truth, will she understand that you withdraw halfway and not consider you an enemy?"
Zhang Weixun had vaguely heard of Wei An's abilities. None of these people had failed to mention the things Wei An had done and the tragic experiences of those who had confronted Wei An.
He shuddered suddenly, looked at Dong Chengqi and shook his head: "Master Dong, there is no need to scare me. Anyway, the matter ends here. I will not do anything else. As for whether you want to report me or go to the Wei family to complain, I am not afraid."
Dong Chengqi's own patience had reached its limit. He looked at Zhang Weixun in front of him and wished he could stomp him to death. He felt that Zhang Weixun was stubborn and like a stupid donkey.
After a while, he finally suppressed his anger and said in a sinister and mocking voice: "Master Zhang, do you really think so? That's a pity. I'm afraid that so many things put in the pawnshop can never be redeemed in the future. That's fine. Master's family was rich in the past, and pawning can support them for a while, but... after this period of time, how will Master's family get subsidies? This is a family, and everyone needs money."
