Chapter 175

It wasn't until it was completely dark that Zhang Chao returned with a full load of people.

There were several cars of valuables in succession, only the land deeds were not included.

Mrs. Xu and the other wives looked at the carts and almost threw their hoofs over.

Wei Xingzhi walked to Zhang Chao's side leisurely, and glanced behind him with his head, "Is it copied clean?"

"Clean, absolutely clean." Zhang Chao nodded again and again, "Don't worry, my lord. In the end, I will even move out the valuable wood from Sima's house. I promise not to disappoint you."

Wei Xingzhi patted him on the shoulder in admiration, and then said to Yu Changyuan who was standing beside him, "I'm sorry to trouble you to work harder."

Yu Changyuan frowned slightly, but he knew that Wei Xingzhi would never be so polite and rude to someone close and trustworthy.

He didn't say anything, and took the ledger to estimate the value of each item.

Fu Lianzi watched Yu Changyuan look at an item, and he could roughly estimate the price of the item, and how much it could be pawned at the pawn shop, his jaw was so shocked that he couldn't close it for a long time.

"My lord, his eyes are amazing, aren't they?"

Wei Xingzhi pursed his lips slightly, his eyes were full of appreciation, "Yu Changyuan was also the adopted son of a powerful family in the imperial court, so it goes without saying that he has knowledge, and in addition to the six months in the bank...he is smart and studious, so it's not surprising."

"This is the first time this servant has seen such a powerful person."

Wei Xingzhi knocked her on the head, "If you are so amazing, why don't you rush over to help."

As soon as the words fell, a young woman beside Mrs. Xu fell to the ground.

"Lan'er, Lan'er, here you go, call a doctor. Lan'er is still pregnant with Guo Dushi's child. The crime is not as serious as his family members. Master Wei, please call a doctor over here."

"That's right, why did Master Wei drive us to a dead end?"

"The family is gone, my husband is being imprisoned, and now I can't even keep the child in my womb."

Several wives surrounded the lady named Lan'er, chattering like panic, but each had their own ghosts.

Wei Xingzhi frowned, and walked over, "Qiu Sheng, go and invite the best military doctor in the camp. If something happens to Mrs. Guo's unborn son in Dongdaying, I will be fully responsible."

Mrs. Xu stood up and snorted coldly, "Even if Guo Dushi made a mistake, it shouldn't hurt his family. Guo Dushi is fifty years old this year, and he has no children under his knees. Now the child in Mrs. Guo's womb That's old age, if something happens, you're going to cut off Guo Dushi's bloodline."

Wei Xingzhi ignored her, and looked down at Mrs. Guo who was lying on the ground. She was only 20 years old at the most because of her dress and appearance. How could she marry an old Guo Dushi.

"All spread out, where is Mrs. Guo's maid?"

"The servant is here."

Wei Xingzhi ordered, "Go and help your wife into my official tent. Since you have a baby in your belly and it's freezing outside, don't stand there all the time."

"Yes."

Wei Xingzhi looked at Mrs. Xu, "Mrs. Xu doesn't need to try to threaten me with this matter, I won't take this kind of thing."

Qiu Sheng led the military doctor into the account with Wei Xingzhi.

The military doctor checked Mrs. Guo's pulse before replying, "My lord, this lady's veins are double, but the veins are superficial. From a villain's perspective, this lady's body is too cold and weak to give birth. If you want to protect this child, this lady's life may be..."

Wei Xingzhi frowned, "Take care of Mrs. Guo and the child in her womb as much as possible, and don't let her get into trouble with this officer. As for the rest, we will wait until the affairs in the camp are dealt with."

"Little man obeys."

Wei Xingzhi walked out of the tent and looked back unconsciously. This is about two or three months pregnant, right?
Guo Du and his family must know that Mrs. Guo's body is not suitable for childbearing.

"My lord, looking at your expression, this subordinate knows that you don't know something." Qiusheng walked without making a sound, and suddenly whispered in Wei Xingzhi's ear.

Wei Xingzhi took a step back, "I don't know, do you know?"

Qiu Sheng pointed to himself, "You know everything in the world."

Wei Xingzhi glanced into the tent, "Tell me about it."

A little disdain appeared in Qiu Sheng's eyes, "Guo Dushi is a well-known special wife in the city. He married four wives, all of whom were young and beautiful, but they all died inexplicably after miscarriages."

"Small birth?" Wei Xingzhi raised his eyebrows, "Mrs. Xu said just now that Guo Du is in his fifties and has no heirs?"

"That's right." Qiu Sheng shook his head, "There are also rumors about those wives having miscarriages. It is said that it is because there are many concubines in Guo Dushi's mansion. Everyone wants to give birth to an eldest son."

"Then Mrs. Guo?"

Qiu Sheng sneered, "I now know why Guo, surnamed Guo, cleared up his backyard a few days ago. He wanted to leave a queen for himself, but according to his subordinates, it doesn't matter whether he stays behind or not. No, he has committed corruption, even if he has a son, it will be difficult for him to carry on the family business."

He sighed, "I don't know Mrs. Guo, do you know that you will die after giving birth to a child, and a girl in her teens is willing to marry a 50-year-old man, she wants to enjoy the glory and wealth, I also have to see if this glory and wealth can be easily enjoyed?"

Wei Xingzhi slapped him and rolled his eyes, "How do you know whether he is voluntary or forced?"

It took three hours before Yu Changyuan finished counting. He rubbed the back of his sore neck and walked up to Wei Xingzhi with the new record ledger, "It's still short, about 6 taels."

Wei Xingzhi looked at the wives, "There is still 6 taels short, and the homes of all the ladies have been confiscated, so the 6 taels have disappeared?"

Mrs. Xu sneered, "Who knows where your 6 taels of silver went. Since you don't have any at home, it means that your military discipline is not strict."

Wei Xingzhi nodded thoughtfully, "Then should I go to General Zhonglang to fill in the hole, or should I report to the emperor and give you all the death penalty of beheading everyone?"

She turned her head, "Master Ji, look at what I said... Hey, where did Master Ji go? It seems like I haven't seen him for a while."

Said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao would be there, Ji Zhang ran up to Wei Xingzhi in a panic, "My lord, my lord, I want to expose Xu Zhu's private possession of arms, intending to rebel! My lord, please take a look."

Mrs. Xu's face changed suddenly, "Ji Zhang, my husband treats you well, why did you frame my husband like this?"

Wei Xingzhi clasped his hands behind his back, "Madam Xu, be safe and don't be impatient. We'll find out if it's a false accusation."

"Mr. Ji, where are these weapons?" Wei Xingzhi asked.

Ji Zhang pointed to the mountain range next to Dongdaying, "It's in that mountain range. After thinking about it for a day, I decided to tell my lord, and I just beg my lord to spare my life."

Wei Xingzhi glanced at Fu Lianzi, "You stay and take care of Mrs. Guo, and the rest of you, go and see with me."
