Chapter 120 Gift
This time, it was my uncle who answered the phone.
His expression changed, "What did you say!"
Mr. Song's eyelids twitched, and he was even more nervous than him. "What happened?"
My uncle put down the phone and said, "The batch of goods we were transporting to Fengcheng yesterday was robbed when we were delivering it. The Feng faction thought we were plotting something and wanted to hold us accountable."
This is like a bolt from the blue.
Everyone present was shocked.
Old Master Song looked at Wei Liangchen with a fierce look in his eyes, "Did you do it?!"
Wei Liangchen played with the gun, "It wasn't me."
"It doesn't matter who you are. You know about this batch of goods and have arranged people on the road. Okay, now you want to cut off the Song family's financial resources?" Old Master Song said angrily.
To destroy someone's wealth is no different from taking his life.
Wei Liangchen's smile faded a little, "Wealth should be earned slowly, not like grandpa, who only wants to make a quick buck and doesn't care about future generations. You should thank this man for saving your Song family."
"Save the Song family?"
"That's right. There is no impenetrable wall in this world. If the old man knew that you sold weapons to our enemies for temporary benefits, what would he think? If he found out about the Song family, he would also implicate my Wei family. If he didn't know, he would think that my Wei family was going to rebel."
Both uncles were shocked. That's the truth.
This batch of goods was personally handled by the old man. They didn't know about it at first. If you know it, they probably wouldn't sell it.
Even though I had offended someone and had to pay a large sum of money, I felt relieved.
"You——" Old Master Song was so angry that his liver and head ached.
The doctor who was always by his side tried to comfort him, fearing that he might have another stroke.
Wei Liangchen's eyes were cold, "From now on, all the business of the Song family will be taken over by the eldest uncle and the second uncle. Grandpa is old and his judgment is not as good as before. You don't need to work hard anymore and just enjoy your old age."
Old Master Song gritted his teeth and said, "You are just a young boy, it is not your place to intervene in the affairs of my Song family."
"It's a give and take." Wei Liangchen said sarcastically, "You care about my family affairs, and I care about yours."
The two uncles looked at each other.
Their nephew has done his homework.
Wei Liangchen smiled and added fuel to the fire, "If grandpa insists on not letting go and takes care of everything himself, then my officers and soldiers will have to follow the rules. Don't tell me why the goods can't come in or go out, or why they disappeared along the way."
Old Master Song could no longer sit still and jumped up, "You are threatening me!"
"No, it's to protect you and your Song family."
The two uncles looked at each other again and said nothing.
Seeing them like this, Old Master Song was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe. "Okay, so everyone is plotting against me! Wei Liangchen, you are great. But don't forget, you have land routes, but what about water routes? Zhou Siwei, whose wife you stole, will help you or me?"
"Then you watch." Wei Liangchen was calm and smiled and waved his hand. The men outside the door came in with a large golden basin. "This is my first gift to grandpa. Let him retire from the world and enjoy his old age."
The golden glitter almost dazzled other people's eyes.
Everyone was shocked.
The first one? So there's a second one?
Looking at this grandfather and grandson, everyone was terrified, as if they were watching a game of chess with black and white pieces fighting on the field.
Mrs. Wei was convinced by her son. If it were her, she would never dare to confront the old man like this.
I was surprised, but also felt proud.
Since her mother passed away, her father married a bunch of concubines. If she made the slightest mistake, she would be squeezed out, so she always respected and obeyed her father, and tried her best to do nothing wrong in front of others. In her eyes, her father was a mountain pressing down on her head, but it turned out that this mountain was not unshakable.
Jin Ye looked at Wei Liangchen, his heart pounding. He had never felt that he was so mighty and handsome as he was today.
The mother and daughter of the Ling family, who had not yet left the study, also looked at him and were all shocked.
Ling Xuewei felt as if her heart was stabbed with a knife. Is this Wei Liangchen? For a woman, he would go to such an extent against his grandfather whom he always revered!
Is he really not afraid of backlash?
Suddenly, the phone rang again.
Everyone was shocked.
Old Master Song couldn't bear to hear this sound now, and felt his soul trembling.
"Don't be afraid, Grandpa. Since it's a gift, it must be a good thing." Wei Liangchen said with a smile.
My second uncle answered the phone. “It’s the Municipal Government. The North City Government has sent a telegram to the Governor and Liangchen.”
Mr. Song covered his chest with his hands. "What is it?"
Second uncle's heart was beating like a drum. "The telegram said that General Ren was appointed as the deputy envoy of the Five Provinces Inspection Commissioner to assist the old marshal in reorganizing the Zhi faction. The old marshal re-divided the army into four routes. Jiang Zhe will still be the commander of the Eastern Route Army, and Wei Liangchen will be the commander of the Eastern Route Army."
Boom! There was another thunder outside.
But the shock was not as great as this telegram.
"Didn't you say that he wanted to set up his own business?" Old Master Song looked suddenly at Governor Wei.
The old marshal's move actually promoted Wei Liangchen, who was only short of the title of military governor. In fact, he was no different from the military governor.
On the surface, General Wei was promoted, but as Wei Liangchen gradually took charge of the military forces, he would be sidelined sooner or later.
From now on, as an old man, I really can't do anything to him.
What shocked Master Song even more was that Governor Wei was very calm, "You knew this a long time ago, right?"
"Yes." The governor nodded, "Liangchen told me."
I originally thought that he was going to set up his own faction and leave Jiangzhe, which would cause chaos in the army.
Now that he is not leaving, the army is relieved, but the army will soon no longer be his. General Wei has mixed feelings, "I am old too, and the world is ruled by young people now."
You know your own body is becoming less and less useful.
This result was generally better than he expected.
At least he preserved his dignity and the integrity of the Wei family. Otherwise, he would be ashamed of his ancestors when he went to the underworld.
Mrs. Wei was of course happy. Her son was her son, but her husband was not necessarily her husband. Most of the time he was someone else's. If her son was in power, she would also be in power.
Wei Liangchen said, "This is my second gift to Grandpa. Your son-in-law is the Deputy Commissioner of the Five Provinces. You will be honored when others come to visit you in the future."
Old Master Song felt as if his chest was stuffed with cotton. He felt so uncomfortable that he couldn't speak. He felt as if he had been tricked by the father and son.
"There's more." Wei Liangchen added, "The situation outside is not peaceful. In addition to the bathroom incident, Grandpa needs to cooperate with the investigation at any time. The two uncles had better let Grandpa stay at home and don't run around."
"You, you..." This is actually putting him under house arrest.
Mr. Song was so angry that he almost had a stroke.
But it's not over yet, "There's one last gift."
Come again!!
