Looking at Xu Hongji glaring at him, with an angry look, Xu Ziyin couldn't help but feel a little weak, but then he seemed to think of something again and puffed up his chest.

"Dad, don't look at me like that, the deficit in our house has been increasing over the years, the child remembers that we lost more than 6,000 taels of silver the year before last, and last year's deficit was more than 10,000 taels.

If we continue to lose like this, even if our Wei Mansion has a big business, I'm afraid it won't be able to support it for a few years, if there is no other way to get money, our Wei Mansion will decline sooner or later, isn't it for our big guys to do this? ”

Hearing his son say this, Xu Hongji, who was originally very annoyed, turned gloomy.

In fact, the main reason why the Wei Mansion has not been as strong as before in recent years is the fire fight with Yang Feng five years ago.

In that battle, the Duke of Wei, the British Mansion and the Jinling Military Department Shangshu dispatched a total of more than 2,000 troops to try to *** the East Gate Thousand Households, but the result of the battle fell through everyone's eyes, and more than 2,000 troops were actually defeated by a thousand military households led by Yang Feng.

In that battle, most of the 1,000 cavalry accumulated by the Duke of Wei for many years were wiped out, and it was this defeat that greatly damaged the vitality of the Duke of Wei, and afterwards there were more than 100,000 taels of direct losses alone, not to mention indirect losses.

It was also after that war that the prestige of the Wei Mansion, which had taken more than 200 years to build, collapsed overnight.

Seeing Xu Hongji's gloomy face, Xu Ziyin felt uncomfortable, but he still raised his neck and said: "Dad, the child knows that you have been raising obscurity in Taoguang to avoid the edge of Yang Feng over the years, but you have also seen that Yang Feng not only did not show the slightest sign of decline, but became more and more prosperous, and now he has been promoted to the Duke of Xinguo."

Bai Ding, a lowly businessman, is actually on an equal footing with us, which is simply a big joke. The child is not convinced, even though the shopkeeper Wang is not in a thousand ways, but there is one thing he said is still right, if this Yang Feng is not killed, our Wei Mansion will always live in his shadow, this is the reason why the child cooperates with those people. ”

"You...... You...... Alas......"

Xu Hongji looked at his son's face with a stubborn expression, and said a few words in a row, and finally turned into a long sigh......

Looking at his Lao Tzu's helpless expression, Xu Ziyin comforted: "Dad, don't worry, even if Yang Feng catches Wang Dazhang?" If he dares to confess, we don't need to make a move, the first owner behind him won't be able to spare him. Take 10,000 steps back, even if Yang Feng knows that we are involved in this matter, he has no evidence, is it possible that he still dares to lead his troops to attack our Wei State Mansion? ”

"That's it, that's the end of it."

Xu Hongji waved his hand.

"That Li Zhengwei's father has already sent someone to clean him up, you must think more about what you do in the future. Such a big person, don't always let others wipe your buttocks, the title of father will be passed on to you sooner or later, but if you can't afford to inherit the glory of the Wei Mansion, don't blame your father for not thinking about the love of father and son.

You have to remember that your every move is related to the life and death of thousands of people in the whole house, that Yang Feng will leave Jinling and go to Luoyang to suppress bandits in a few days, and everything will return to normal after he leaves, and your father will never allow you to cause trouble again, understand? ”

After that, without waiting for Xu Ziyin to answer, Xu Hongji stood up and walked out of the door, leaving only Xu Ziyin, who was already scared into a cold sweat.

Feeling that his father has done so many things for him behind his back, and he doesn't know it, but what frightens him the most is Xu Hongji's last sentence, which is almost Chi Guoguo telling him that if he disappoints him by taking matters into his own hands, he doesn't mind changing an heir, which is the most fatal.

The strange atmosphere in Jinling City made many people who had moved small benches and melon seeds ready to watch the lively melon eating crowd a little confused, and at the same time made many people disappointed, this situation is not quite the same as expected, the Wei Mansion actually did not move at all, and said that it was okay to find Yang Feng to settle old accounts?

"Grandpa Guo, our spies have been investigating everywhere, and they still haven't found Li Zheng's person, but it is said that someone saw Li Zheng once appeared in the east of the city, and the situation at that time was very embarrassing, but he was later kidnapped by several unknown people."

In the inner hall of the Thousand Households Office of Jiangdong Gate, Song Ye was reporting the situation to Yang Feng.

"Kidnapped?"

Yang Feng shook his head with some annoyance.

"I didn't expect that after two years of leaving Jinling, the water here has become more and more turbid, and I actually dare to attack the dignified commander Jiang Ningwei."

"Grandpa Guo, the former commander of Jiang Ningwei." Song Ye reminded carefully.

"Regardless of whether it is the predecessor or not, Li Zheng, as the most important participant in the theft and sale of grain, if he is missing his witness and confession, this case will inevitably have some flaws, and we will be easily impeached and attacked by others. But it doesn't matter, anyway, the food has been returned, and we can start preparing for the expedition. ”

Song Ye shook his head and said: "How vicious are these people's hearts, they actually tried to obstruct the expedition of the grandfather of the country through this way, don't they understand that the military situation is urgent, if they let the Liukou capture Luoyang, the whole of Henan will be eroded, what good will it do to them?" ”

"Of course they're good."

Yang Feng sneered, he didn't have to think about the sinister intentions of these people to understand.

If this expedition can be delayed or even stopped, and when the situation in Henan is corroded, those people in the DPRK and China who have long been eyeing him will inevitably take the opportunity to launch a new round of impeachment against him, even if they cannot pull him down, it will be a huge blow to Yang Feng's prestige, and for this reason, even if the situation in Henan becomes erosive. As for the interests of the state, the lives of the people and so on are not in their scope of consideration at all.

Prestige is sometimes useless, but sometimes its usefulness is huge, why Yang Feng's reputation in Daming is so great now, why Zhu Youxiao can openly suppress all the twists and turns of impeaching him, is because of his invincible record.

The identity of the Great Ming God of War is his biggest talisman, if this talisman is broken, Yang Feng can be sure that those people will definitely have a series of actions next.

But it doesn't matter, brother doesn't rely on prestige to eat, and those people will never understand brother's power.

"Okay, don't think about it so much. Those people are grasshoppers after autumn, and they won't be able to jump for long. Yang Feng patted Song Ye on the shoulder: "Follow me to the barracks to inspect, and our army will set off in two days." ”

"Understood."
