Wei Fu.

Wei Zhe paced back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back, looking out the door from time to time, as if he was waiting for something...

Since Shengtai Bank had accidents one after another, he realized that they had suffered Xiao Jie's revenge. In order to know himself and the enemy, he had been sending people to secretly monitor Xiao Jie's every move, so as to keep abreast of Xiao Jie's situation and respond in time.

He also heard about Xiao Jie's banquet in the "Eight Immortals Winery" in Luoyang City, and every guest at the banquet had a lot of money from the bank, which made him secretly feel a little bad.

Although he didn't know what Xiao Jie's intentions were, Wei Zhe knew very well that if these banknotes finally fell into Xiao Jie's hands, even with the financial resources of the six great families of Guanzhong and Heluo, there might not be enough cash to exchange them. To Xiao Jie.

If it is an ordinary person, no matter how many bank notes they hold in their hands, they can hold back or even rely on them for the time being, but Xiao Jie is different. He is not only the prince of the dynasty, but also the ruler of Silizhou. Lieutenant Sili, if Shengtai Bank dares not honor the bank notes in his hands, he can clean up Shengtai Bank without any scruples, and then let the six aristocratic families have nothing to eat.

Therefore, now Wei Zhe is eager to know Xiao Jie's true intention of hosting a banquet in the restaurant today, and whether the banknotes from Shengtai Bank have fallen into Xiao Jie's hands.

Just when Wei Zhe was still looking forward to it, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door. After a while, a figure appeared outside the study door. It was the person Wei Zhe sent to spy on Xiao Jie. Come in, kneel directly on the ground through the study door, with a crying voice: "My lord, it's not good, something serious happened!"

Wei Zhe's body trembled, and he couldn't help being even more disturbed when he heard the people crying and crying. He couldn't help but yelled loudly: "Don't cry, the sky hasn't fallen yet, tell me quickly, what happened?"

The person who came finally stopped crying and forcibly stabilized his mind, but his eyes did not dare to look at Wei Zhe, he just lowered his head and said in a low voice: "My lord, the villain has already found out that King Qi is in the 'Eight Immortals Restaurant' today." The purpose of the banquet is to buy the bank notes of Shengtai Bank from those people..."

Wei Zhe suddenly felt dark in front of his eyes, and he almost couldn't stand firmly, but he still forcibly collected his mind, and asked with a glimmer of hope: "Did those people resell the bank notes to him?"

The visitor lowered his head even more: "After the banquet, I secretly asked a few people, and they all said that the Shengtai Bank in the capital has been burned, and I don't know if the banknotes in my hand can be exchanged for silver. Since King Qi They are willing to take over this hot potato, and they are also willing to resell the bank notes in their hands to him at a [-]% discount... King Qi has already told them that they only need to take the bank notes from Shengtai Bank to any bank of the Tao family , the Tao family will exchange them for silver based on [-]% of the face value."

"Sure enough, the Tao family is behind it again." Wei Zhe couldn't help gnashing his teeth when he heard this. He should have thought that without the financial support of the Tao family, how could Xiao Jie have so much cash and eat so many promotions in the market? Bank notes from the bank.

"Moreover, the villain also overheard the news that the Taoji Bank in other states and counties also released a message, willing to also exchange [-]% of the face value for the bank notes of Shengtai Bank." After a moment of hesitation, the visitor still couldn't help it. A more exciting news broke out soon.

At this moment, Wei Zhe only felt the world spinning in front of his eyes, and he almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, he was quickly supported by someone with sharp eyesight.

"My lord, are you all right?"

Wei Zhe didn't reply, but just stared at the ground with dull eyes. At this moment, it can be said that all thoughts are lost in his heart.

He knew very well in his heart that Xiao Jie and the Tao family could wipe out all the banknotes from the rising Thai bank at any time, and even with the combined strength of the six families, they would not be able to raise so much cash to exchange these banknotes.

Once that time comes, the six surnames of Wei, Pei, Liu, Xue, Yang and Du will be completely discredited and despised by others. Losing their status as high-ranking officials, they will also be kicked out of the ranks of famous families and reduced to a down-and-out family.

For a whole day, Wei Zhe locked himself in his study, never seeing anyone, not drinking a drop of water, not eating a grain of rice.

As night fell, Wei Zhe stood in front of the window sill with his hands behind his back, looking at the dark night sky outside the window, feeling extremely depressed. If Jingzhao Webster's century-old reputation was really ruined, he would be the eternal sinner of the Wei family.

At this moment, the voice of his son Wei Tao came from outside the door: "Father, may I come in?"

Wei Zhe finally came back to his senses, sighed, and said in a hoarse voice: "My son, come in."

The door was gently pushed open, and Wei Tao walked into the room slowly, seeing his father grow so old in just one day, he felt a little bitter in his heart, and sighed, "Why is this so, father? room for maneuver."

Wei Zhe took a deep look at his son, then shook his head and said, "If you want to talk about joining forces with the Wang family, then you don't need to talk about it."

A few days ago, when Shengtai Bank was run on, Wei Tao suggested to his father that because of Zhou Jun's death, many aristocratic families are now deeply afraid of Xiao Jie, especially the Wang family. The Wang family and other aristocratic families joined hands to deal with Xiao Jie, and the financial resources of these aristocratic families can completely help Shengtai Bank to face the run on.

But to Wei Tao's surprise, his father rejected his proposal without hesitation, and ordered him not to have any contact with the Wang family from now on, which made Wei Tao very puzzled.

Wei Zhe looked at his son with soft eyes.He knows that his son is a genius, and his performance in many things is more eye-catching than his father, but after all, he is still too young, lacks some life experience, and still has the impulsiveness and superficiality of young people, so he is not good at many things. Didn't see it clearly.

As the head of Jingzhao Webster's family and his father, Wei Zhe felt that he had to teach his son some more subtle things.

"Do you know why I don't want to cooperate with the Wang family?" Wei Zhe asked calmly, staring closely at his son's eyes.

"I don't know, I hope my father will teach me." Wei Tao knew that every time his father looked at him like this, he wanted to tell him something very serious.

"Because I don't want our Wei family to be ransacked and beheaded, or even imprisoned." Wei Zhe said in a deep voice with piercing eyes, "You haven't entered an official yet, and you don't know the subtlety and danger of the court situation. Since His Majesty took the throne, , The Wang family counts on their meritorious support, Wang Chong controls the government, and Wang Cheng supports his troops, if you are the emperor, how can you accommodate the Wang family?"

"Now the relationship between the emperor and the Wang family is in dire straits. It has reached the point of life and death. In the future, either the emperor will eradicate the Wang family, or the Wang family will overthrow Daning. From my father's point of view, the current emperor is still a saint. Guo Yun is still alive in Daning, and the Wang family rebelled." It can be said that Daning has no chance of winning, if our Wei family and Wang family get mixed up, once the Wang family is destroyed in the future, and the emperor wants to settle the score after autumn, our Wei family may not escape the fate of being exterminated."

"Our Wei family supports the king of Wei and opposes the king of Qi. Even if the king of Qi ascends the throne in the future, our Wei family will just lose power in court. We will have a chance to make a comeback in the future. Everyone will die and the family will be wiped out."

Wei Tao was silent for a long time, and finally nodded emphatically: "My son understands father's good intentions."

He had to admit that although he thought he was extremely smart, he was still a little immature and superficial after all, far less sophisticated and thorough than his father.

When Wei Zhe heard this, he was immediately relieved, and the boredom in his heart was relieved a lot.

In any case, with such a clever son, the future of the Wei family is still promising.

"As a father, I have to teach you another sentence, called 'a man who knows the current affairs is a hero'." Wei Zhe took a deep look at his son, "For example, now, our Wei family has obviously lost to King Qi. We should obediently admit to our opponents that we lost."

"What does father mean?" Wei Tao's complexion couldn't help changing slightly.

Wei Zhe nodded, and said with a wry smile: "Father, I have already thought it over clearly, so I will go to Qi Wang's mansion tonight, apologize to him face to face, listen to his conditions, and see what he wants before he is willing to let our Wei family live." horse."
