The Princess of Chu was not idle. She was busy trying to regain her husband's favor and trust. The Wei family was also not idle.
She went to get information from the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion, hoping to use the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion to catch Princess Changning and deal a final and thorough blow to the Wei family, but the Wei family did not sit idly by.
The entire Dingbei Marquis Mansion was heavily guarded outside. Even the hanging flower gate between the inner and outer courtyards was densely packed with Jinyiwei equipped with embroidered spring swords.
Emperor Longqing held the sharp sword of the Embroidered Uniform Guard over the heads of the Wei family, but he remained undecided.
The feeling of waiting to die is unbearable.
Huang Jun spat on the ground, looked the servants who were about to enter the door up and down, and signaled with his eyes for his men to search them. Then he pursed his lips and laughed maliciously: "Go in!"
The Jinyiwei behind him also burst into laughter and kicked the last man on the butt. After seeing enough of the joke, they asked Huang Jun: "Boss, when can we eat meat?"
Eating meat is jargon.
Wherever there is a house search, there will be money to be made.
Although the Dingbei Marquis Mansion has been silent for these years, it is still a family with a solid foundation. It has accumulated countless things. If it gets a little bit of money, it will be enough to have food and drink for a year or two.
Huang Jun held a dogtail grass in his mouth, chewed it, and said with disdain and confidence: "Why are you in such a hurry? It will only take a while."
Once the final killer move is made, the Wei family will definitely be finished. Why bother with them now
Moreover, he glanced outside and sneered: "Besides, if we take action now, wouldn't it be an easy opportunity for those guys outside?"
That group of guys naturally refers to the Jinyiwei who followed Young Master Lin. The current Jinyiwei, according to the nominal governor Liu Zhen, does not count at all.
The ones who had the final say were only Huang Jun, who had followed Cao Wen for a long time, and Lin Sanshao, who had joined the Jinyiwei at a young age.
The two gangs fought openly and secretly and were incompatible.
Huang Jun hates Lin Sanshao and always wants to suppress him in everything, while Lin Sanshao also likes to go against him. He wants to save those whom Huang Jun wants to kill, and he wants to kill those whom Huang Jun wants to save.
The two gangs have completely torn their faces apart in recent days, and it is common for them to make trouble for each other. This time, Huang Jun has finally come across the fat piece of meat from the Wei family, and he is not willing to share it with Young Master Lin.
The people below hurriedly smiled and said yes.
Huang Jun was guarding very closely inside, but Young Master Lin outside still had a way to send people in.
There was a trace of beard on the ground on Tan Xi's upper lip. He smiled strangely at He Sheng who was kicked in the buttocks next to him: "They really don't know how to live or die. They actually dared to kick you, the living devil. There will be plenty of time for them to regret it in the future."
He Sheng had a bad temper to begin with, and upon hearing that, he glared at him even more impatiently, telling him, "Do more, talk less!"
Tan Xi knew that he was angry and embarrassed, so he didn't bother with him. He just laughed it off and led him to the big stove first. The Wei family brought them in under the pretext of repairing the stove, so naturally they had to go and attend to the occasion.
Especially at such a tense moment.
The stove was damaged when it was searched by the Embroidered Uniform Guards. The whole family depended on this kitchen for meals, and since the higher-ups had not issued any orders on what to do with the Wei family, they had no choice but to let the Wei family eat and send someone in to repair it.
Manager Lin was watching his subordinates cleaning with a frown on his face. When he saw the helpers coming in, he repeatedly told them to help quickly. He also singled out Tan Xi and He Sheng and said, "We don't need so many people here. You guys can go to the back and help them move some sundries so that they can quickly tidy up the house for us."
The Wei family was not in chaos. Shen Chen leaned back lazily, looked down from the Zhaixing Tower, curled his lips and wrote the last stroke on the paper, and then looked at Wei An with a smile on his lips: "Old Madam Wei is so powerful. Even if such a big thing happened, in the eyes of outsiders, your Wei family is already a lamb to be slaughtered, but your family is still so well organized."
Wei An smiled.
Naturally, it was impossible for everything to go smoothly from the beginning. When the news first came out, the Wei family was in chaos, and even the third and second wives were panicked.
But the prestige accumulated by Mrs. Wei over the years finally suppressed them.
Wei An didn't want to say too much about these things. He supported his chin with one hand, closed his eyes and took a nap, pretending that Shen Chen was not there.
Shen Chen stared at her straightly. There was a faint dark circle under her eyes. When she didn't close her eyes just now, there were thick bloodshot veins in them, which showed that she had not rested for a while.
No wonder, if you have to think about so many things, it is very likely that you will turn gray overnight.
But too much wisdom will hurt...
He frowned imperceptibly.
The wind was blowing, and the bird cages on the corridor were swaying violently. The birds screamed in fear. Wei An opened his eyes and saw Lan He coming up quickly: "Miss, Manager Lin is here with Tan Xi and the others."
It was time to come. Wei An glanced at Shen Chen and said softly, "Please come in."
Manager Lin brought Tan Xi, He Sheng and a few others up together.
Shen Chen looked past Manager Lin, He Sheng, and Tan Xi, and fixed his eyes on the unnatural, shivering person behind them. He raised the corner of his mouth and asked, "Is this Cen Er? Qiu Chuying's brother-in-law?"
He pronounced the three words "brother-in-law" with ups and downs, and people could hear the sarcasm in it. Cen Er felt even more uncomfortable and took two steps back with a laugh.
Wei An hummed, beckoned Cen Er to come closer, and asked him, "Have you memorized all the sentences I taught you these days?"
Cen Er had been locked up in the room these days, memorizing those lines, and his teeth were almost sore from memorizing them. Even now, when he heard Wei An mention them, he shuddered and nodded quickly.
He shrank his neck again, and asked Wei An with a twinkling look in his eyes: "Aren't you afraid that after I know your identity... I will go in and betray you?"
Shen Chen, who was sitting opposite Wei An, looked at him in surprise. Then he looked at Wei An and became even more surprised. "You betrayed us? We have already told Qiu Chuying that you are the traitor. Why did you betray us? Even if you really want to regret it and want to join Qiu Chuying out of consideration for our family relationship, I'm afraid she won't accept you."
Although Wei An had never been angry in front of him, Cen Er was afraid of her. And now, even though this young man in front of him was extremely handsome and pleasing to the eye, he couldn't help but be afraid and shook his head hurriedly: "I'm just asking in vain, asking in vain..."
He was really scared of these people. When he came in just now, the people guarding outside all had knives on their waists...
