Wei Ci was caught red-handed by Jiang Pengji. Listening to her sarcastic words, he felt a little funny in his heart.
He said, "My lord, I seem to have seen my eldest brother."
Eldest brother?
Jiang Pengji asked in surprise, "Isn't Zixiao the only son?"
Wei Ci smiled bitterly and said, "Of course not. I have two eldest brothers. My eldest brother is five years older than me. To me, he is like a brother and a father."
Because of his birth date, Wei Ci was despised by the Wei clan. If Master Yuanjing had not stopped him, the weeds on Wei Ci's grave would have changed a few times. Although he survived, he was "abandoned" by the clan at a young age. Life was hard and he had a cold body. Even so, there were people who treated Wei Ci well, such as his eldest brother, Wei Qiang. Wei Ci's initiation was even helped by him.
Jiang Pengji asked curiously, "Where is he?"
Not only was Jiang Pengji curious, but the audience in the streaming room was also very curious.
Looking at Beauty Ci's appearance and temperament, one could tell how good the genes of the Wei family were. Wei Ci's elder brother was certainly not bad.
Jiang Pengji could not look for him openly, but the audience did not have such concerns. They could not wait to pull out everyone in the tent to take a look.
Wo Zhi Er Xiao Long Bao: "I found him. Look at this, isn't it? Except for the Nie family's diplomatic group, everyone knows him! "
Fireworks Era: "Are you kidding me? Didn't Huang Song introduce his name at the beginning of the banquet? His name is Nie Liang? "
Qiyue Bo He: "# propping chin. Nie Liang is such a good name. I also like Nie Liang."
Feng Shui Wuhen: "You missed one person. Does the man beside Nie Liang look like him? I bet a spicy stick that it's definitely him. "
The audience searched carefully. Jiang Pengji also found a "suspicious target." She turned to ask Wei Ci.
"The one beside Nie Liang?"
Wei Ci nodded and said, "That's my elder brother."
Jiang Pengji said expressionlessly, "Tsk. It's not the Shuraba, but it's better than the Shuraba."
Wei Ci did not understand, but seeing Jiang Pengji's expression, he did not ask further. It was certainly not an important matter.
He didn't understand, but the audience did.
Shen Jia: "Nie Xun and Meng Heng are brothers. Feng Jue and Feng Jin are brothers. Wei Ci and Wei Dan are brothers. Nie Xun even knows Nie Liang. They're not brothers but they're more like brothers. They're from three different camps. Brothers stabbing each other's hearts. Isn't that the Shuraba?
Moshang Yunxiu: "# picknose. So, the struggle in troubled times is a disguised fight between relatives?"
Wei Ci's gaze was too obvious. Wei Yong, who was on the other side, also noticed his presence. A look of astonishment flashed across her eyes.
"Zi Shun, did you meet an acquaintance?"
Nie Liang held a wine goblet in his hand as he looked at the dancers dancing below the banquet. His body tilted slightly towards Wei Yong.
"It seems to be the youngest brother —"
Wei Ci was not very sure. It was dark inside the tent and Wei Ci was quite far away from him, so he could not see clearly.
"Is he the younger brother that you always talk about, Wei Ci? Why is he here? " Nie Liang frowned. If Wei Ci was here, he would either be in Huang Song's camp or Liu Xi's camp. This was not good news. "I heard you say that he stayed in Langye alone to study?"
"Considering his age, Zi Xiao should be over 27 this year." Wei Yong had a fitting smile on his face. "He's always had his own ideas and is very stubborn. Whether it's Huang Song or Liu Xi, they both have their strengths and weaknesses. It's not impossible for Zi Xiao to choose one of them to become an official. "
The Wei family of Langye was in decline. They had no choice but to move out of Langye County and seek refuge with the Wei family in Zhongzhao's Bianzhou.
Everyone shared the same ancestor. Even if they had to live under someone else's roof, it was better than their family declining.
Only Wei Ci did not agree and insisted on staying.
As a last resort, the Wei family could only leave Wei Ci with some money and let him run his own course. They had not received any news from him all these years.
As they talked, Nie Liang secretly inspected the people in the tent, as if trying to find out which younger brother of Wei Yong was.
Wei Ci's appearance was outstanding. He would be the most conspicuous in a crowd. Naturally, it was easy to find him.
"From the looks of it, your precious younger brother has chosen Liu Xi to become an official." Nie Liang smiled. "His eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Zi Shun's."
Wei Yong was not surprised by the result. He was rather curious about Jiang Pengji, who was in the limelight.
Jiang Pengji's reputation was great in Dongqing. Outside of Dongqing's territory, others would always question the rumors about her.
How could a woman be so valiant?!
Suspicion was bound to be accompanied by contempt. Although Nie Liang and Wei Yong did not belittle her, they were also dubious.
Rumors could not be completely trusted, not to mention rumors that were spread by word of mouth and were seriously distorted.
It was easy to find Wei Ci in the main tent, but it was even easier to find Jiang Pengji.
She was the only red flower among the green leaves in the tent.
The atmosphere of the banquet was just right. After three rounds of wine, Nie Liang once again brought up the issue of the ownership of Cangzhou.
Huang Song laughed and laughed, but Jiang Pengji said, "The words of a living person don't carry much weight, let alone the words of a dead person. It's been a while since the seventh day of Meng Zhan's death. If he was faster, he might have already drunk Meng Po's soup and crossed the Bridge of Helplessness. Dead people tell no tales! "
Nie Liang's expression suddenly darkened.
Without waiting for him to speak, Wei Ci, who was beside him, helped to add.
Compared to Jiang Pengji's angry tone, his words were much more polite, but also irritating.
"Meng Zhan is a criminal who killed the emperor, and he is the eternal sinner of Dongqing. How can the Meng's call themselves the ruler of Cangzhou? This is the first reason. The royal family trusts the Meng's, which is why the Meng's are allowed to stay in Cangzhou. After all, the Meng's are still the subjects of the royal family, not the ruler. This is the second reason. Meng Zhan has no right to decide the ownership of Cangzhou. Even if the letter in the messenger's hand is real, the people of Cangzhou will not recognize it. "
Even if the royal family had been killed by Meng Zhan, Wei Ci would still use him as a shield.
Nie Liang looked expressionless, but he was secretly giving Wei Yong a look.
Wei Yong's younger brother was indeed not a good person.
He was stabbed by his brother before they even recognized each other. Such brotherly love was really tearful.
"If that's the case, Magistrate Liu and Magistrate Huang want to push the blame and refuse to acknowledge the debt, right?"
Jiang Pengji shook the wine bottle gently and leaned against the table. "You can't say that. The person who owes the debt is Meng Zhan, not me or Bogao. As the saying goes, every debt has its debtor. If the Nie's want to collect the debt, they have to find a creditor. If they are quick, they can find a master to summon the soul. The world is in chaos now, and the road to the underworld is blocked. Maybe Meng Zhan hasn't had the time to reincarnate. It's hard to say. "
Nie Liang was speechless.
He heard that Liu Xi was born in a gentry family, but he didn't expect to meet him in person and act like a hooligan!
He was so persistent that it was unheard of!
Wei Ci, who was beside him, noticed his brother Wei Yong's gaze. He didn't want to delve into the deeper meaning of that gaze, so he simply closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.
"If that's the case, Magistrate Liu and Magistrate Huang don't want to give up Cangzhou?"
Jiang Pengji smiled faintly. "I am from Dongqing. How can I betray my country?"
She wouldn't even give up a small hut, let alone Cangzhou!
It was really asking the wrong person to talk to her about the issue of territory.
Jiang Pengji's eyes were burning. She wasn't afraid at all.
Huang Song, who was the temporary owner of Cangzhou, became a foil. He stayed at the side and cheered for Jiang Pengji.
