Chapter 785 787. Distrust
When Wu Nanping saw everyone looking at him with distrust, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
The trouble that Wu Hao has caused is really too big. How did he get involved? Isn't this making fun of the Wu family?
Moreover, why didn't they tell him about such a big matter involving Wu'an Marquis's Mansion? He was caught off guard. How should he deal with it?
"Master Wu, are you going to say that you don't know either?" Hou Cunjin said at this time, "You shouldn't hide such an important thing, otherwise you're just pitting everyone."
No one believed that the head of the Wu family was innocent in this matter. After all, he was a nobleman from Shangjing. As the head of the family, it was impossible for him to know nothing about it.
"They really didn't mention it to me," Wu Nanping said bitterly, "It just so happens that Wu Kun came with me this time, how about I call him in and ask him?"
"Then call the person in to question him," Meng Haotian made the decision directly, "Don't offend Lord Gu and Marquis Wu'an, it will cause great harm to everyone."
Although this was unpleasant to hear, Wu Nanping did not dare to refute it. He walked outside and called the person in.
As a member of the Wu family's side branch, Wu Kun usually had no chance to meet so many family heads at the same time. He just greeted them obediently and stood aside.
"Wu Kun, you guys have concealed the truth so thoroughly that you asked me to help you out without explaining the matter to me clearly." In order to show that he knew nothing about it, Wu Nanping spoke as soon as he brought the person in front of everyone.
Wu Kun, "...We have already told the Patriarch what we know, and there is nothing else to hide."
Wu Nanping, "What about Wu'an Hou?"
"……," Wu Kun looked confused. How was he involved with Marquis Wu'an again?
The heads of the various families: "..."
"Don't you know what Wu Hao did?" Hou Cunjin didn't think the Wu family was innocent. "You are all family. It's impossible that such a big thing didn't reveal any information."
Wu Kun shook his head. "It was only after the shopkeeper told me that I knew the person was taken away from my restaurant. That day, I immediately went to find my eldest brother, and happened to send the person to Liang Mansion with my father."
When Wu Kun heard this, he knew that his elder brother was involved in a big matter this time.
"Then didn't you use your connections to inquire about it?"
Wu Kun, "Now he has been transferred to the prison of the Censor. No matter how much he sends, he cannot see my elder brother.
Even if we wanted to know what happened, we had no way to find out.
I heard from my eldest brother that this time he was helping a nobleman from the capital, and it seemed that the other party had a personal grudge against this Lord Gu, and was planning to use a trick to bring down the couple.
But he didn’t tell us who this noble person was, maybe he didn’t have time to tell us.”
Wu Kun told everything he knew, "Please help me think of a solution, my eldest brother knows he was wrong, but he is a member of our big family after all..."
"Are you threatening me?" Li Cong sneered, "Don't forget, you are the ones who need help now.
And this matter is not as simple as you said. Before we save your brother, we have to consider whether we can save our own family."
The others nodded as well, no one wanted to take the risk.
Wu Nanping, "Master Hou, you see, this matter is not clear right now, and we don't know whether Wu Hao was wronged. Please help me find out more. If you can talk it over with Master Gu, my Wu family will remember this favor."
Hou Cunjin knew that this time it was inevitable, so he took a long breath and said, "What are the details? At most, I can help you find out, but I really don't have such a big face to help you in front of Lord Gu.
Although the two families are related, their status is not equal after all, I hope you can understand. "
Li Cong wanted to speak, but was held down by Wu Nanping. "This is already very good. I heard that the Hou family master was looking for top-quality jadeite a few days ago. There happened to be a piece of red jadeite in the warehouse. I will ask Wu Kun to deliver it to you later.
This kid is quite agile and smart, so I'll keep him by your side for now."
Hou Cunjin was almost laughing out of anger. He begged him to do things and even had to place a spy around him. "This family master really doesn't lack errand runners. Family Master Wu is old now, so it's better for him to stay by his side and serve him.
As for the red jadeite, it is too precious and I feel unworthy of receiving it.
It's getting late, I have to go back and think about how to ask my son-in-law, so I won't stay here with you guys any longer."
Ignoring Wu Nanping's ugly look, Hou Cunjin nodded to others and left alone.
"This Hou Cunjin is really arrogant. Does he really think that he can sit back and relax just by hooking up with Gu Wenheng, and forget all the agreements we made?" As soon as the man left, Wu Nanping immediately complained to the others.
Huang Muen, "I think what Patriarch Hou said is right, when asking for help, you should have the attitude of asking for help.
To be honest, our families support each other and it is an equal contract. If you want to act arrogantly and order others around, you should at least humble yourself.
It seems that we can't come up with anything today, so let's all go back and use our connections to see if we can find a solution."
After saying this, he bowed to the people sitting there and left.
After going out, he quickly caught up with Hou Cunjin, and got into the carriage just as his carriage was about to leave.
"Master Huang, you got on the wrong bus."
Hou Cunjin didn't want to see these people again, and his tone was a little aggressive.
"That's right, that's right," Huang Muen didn't care about his attitude and sat down opposite him.
"Only the Hou family master has a good temper. If it were me, I would have left long ago..."
"Just say what you want to say."
"You're not really going to help them find out, are you?" Huang Muen asked in a low voice.
Hou Cunjin raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "You didn't have this attitude before in there. Weren't you expecting me to help you ask?"
Huang Muen, "Well, what I showed was an attitude. Who told us to always go in and out together? If I act too different, you will attack me."
Hou Cunjin sneered, "I didn't see how much mercy you showed me inside. I don't care what you think in your heart. I will still go to the ancient mansion, but what will be the result? How to operate it, then I will not get involved.
Don't use the same old tricks on me. I know all about how you treated my Hou family over the years."
Ever since Wu Haicong became more and more powerful, these people have begun to subtly reject the Hou family.
When the eldest daughter married Lord Gu's cousin, these people no longer informed him of any decisions made in the past year.
He didn't want to come this time, but thinking that they were all in Yi Province, they would meet each other sooner or later, and the current strength of the Hou family was not enough to compete with these people, so he made this trip.
