His name is Li Banfeng—”Feng” as in “mountain peak,” not “madness.” The doctor confirmed he is not insane.
To save a friend’s life, he stepped onto Platform 96, boarded the 11...
The fastest update of "Lord of Pro" [630kan]
Ma Wu escorted the goods to Lanyang Village. The three moths said goodbye reluctantly, and Aqin had to leave too.
Next, Ma Wu had to deliver the goods to Green Water City. There were almost no people who could protect him along the way, so he had to rely entirely on his own cultivation and experience.
The second level of cultivation was not enough, but Ma Wu was experienced, and he raised the banner of the Lu family.
Lanyang Village is the territory of the Lu family. There is nothing wrong with raising the flag. As long as there is this flag, ordinary bandits and thieves dare not approach.
They arrived safely at Green Water City, sold the goods, and Ma Wu bought a newspaper.
There was also news about Ma Wu on the second page of the newspaper, still talking about his great ambitions in Lanyang Village.
There was nothing new in this piece of news, but Ma Wu noticed another piece of news.
The Lu family tragically lost Lanyang Village, and their incompetent descendants ruined the family business.
Who wrote this?
Dare to slap the Lu family in the face?
This newspaper is too bold.
Wait a minute.
The newspapers are not necessarily the bravest.
Ma Wu read the two pieces of news together and found some clues. Judging from the content of the news, it was Ma Wu, not the newspaper, who provoked the Lu family.
Ma Wu made great efforts in Lanyang Village, as if he had robbed the Lu family's property.
After putting away the newspaper, Ma Wu drank a cup of tea in Yufangzhai and stayed there for twenty minutes to sort out his thoughts.
If Lao Qi and I continue to expand our business in Lanyang Village, it would be tantamount to forcing the Lu family to turn against me.
If something happened to me in Lanyang Village, such as death at the hands of Lu Xiaolan, the Lu family would be the primary suspect and would definitely have to take the blame.
The intentions of these two news items are so sinister!
No, we can't let them talk nonsense.
This time the shipment sold for more than 7,000 taels of silver. Ma Wu took out 2,000 taels of silver and asked the shopkeeper of Yufangzhai to prepare four generous gifts. He also borrowed 5,000 taels of silver from the shopkeeper, making up a total of 10,000 taels of silver, which were packed immediately.
In the afternoon, Ma Wu came to the Lu family mansion with four generous gifts and ten thousand dollars.
When he arrived at the mansion, Ma Wu was very humble and just said that he was there to visit Butler Qiu.
Monkey Qiu invited Ma Wu into the small building, and after asking about his purpose, he immediately went to the main house to inform his wife and asked the two young masters to go to the main house to welcome the guest.
Ma Wu was embarrassed: "Uncle Qiu, I came here to visit you today, not to cause you any trouble."
Monkey Qiu laughed and said, "Jun Yang, what are you talking about? You are here to visit the Lu family, not to visit me as the housekeeper."
Ma Wu naturally understood what Monkey Qiu meant. He came here today just to save face for the Lu family.
There were four generous gifts, one for the Madam Duan Shaoxia, one for the Eldest Son Lu Yuanshan, one for the Second Son Lu Yuanhai, and one for the Chief Steward Qiu Zhiheng. No one's gifts were treated with the same courtesy.
Ten thousand oceans is a gift from Lan Yang Village to the Lu family. This is to tell others that Lan Yang Village is paying bonuses to the Lu family and this is still the Lu family's territory.
Ma Wu's action gave the Lu family enough face.
Lu Yuanshan exclaimed, "Jun Yang, you are really good at making money. Lan Yang Village has become a good place under your leadership. How many days have you taken over and you have earned so much?"
Lu Yuanhai said with a smile: "Old Five, don't pretend to be rich. If you don't make that much money, don't force yourself to bear it. I think you should just take back half of it."
Ma Wu sighed, "To be honest with you, this money was not easy to come by. It was earned by my brothers who risked their lives. When I, Ma Junyang, was in the most difficult time, you two brothers left me this place, Lanyang Village, and gave me a way to live. I will never forget this kindness."
Duan Shaoxia smiled and said, "What kind of favor are you talking about? That's too far off topic. Junyang is just a likable kid. Stay for dinner tonight. You can't leave no matter what."
Upon hearing this, Monkey Qiu gave Lu Yuanshan a look.
You can’t keep your face at home, you have to show it outside!
Lu Yuanshan quickly took over the conversation: "What's the point of eating at home? I'll be the host at the Paramount tonight. We'll eat and drink, and the girl will be with us. I must treat Junyang well."
Lu Yuanhai said, "Old Five, there's a singing party at the Paramount tonight. You're an expert, so you have to go there and be a VIP."
Duan Shaoxia frowned and said, "Don't lead Jun Yang astray."
Lu Yuanshan's eyes widened and he smiled: "Mom, you said we led him astray? We grew up together, who doesn't know who?
He is much worse than us two brothers. If he goes there tonight, this singing queen will not be able to enter other people’s houses.”
Ma Wu waved his hands repeatedly and said, "My two brothers, please don't slander me in front of my aunt."
Everyone was chatting and laughing, and everything was harmonious.
Monkey Qiu looked at Ma Junyang and nodded continuously.
This child is sensible and will definitely achieve something in the future.
That night, Ma Junyang was the guest of honor at the Paramount Concert, and reporters also came to do an exclusive interview.
This is not a reporter from the Ling family, this is a reporter from Lu Yuanshan. Even though the Lu family’s newspapers are not selling well, this is big news.
Ma Wu personally went to the Lu family and gave them bonuses, which meant that many rumors about the Lu family and Lanyang Village were self-defeating.
…
He Jiaqing frowned on the hospital bed.
Ma Wu did not hide from the Lu family and took the initiative to show goodwill, which surprised He Jiaqing.
A man's voice came from my ear: "How do we deal with this?"
"Pay money, go to each newsstand, collect all the Lu family's newspapers, and suppress the news."
"The evening paper has been collected, but I'm afraid there will be a morning paper tomorrow."
"We'll take all of them together. No matter how many he prints, we'll take as much as he prints. At least this matter can't spread in Green Water City.
Our newspapers should continue to publish news about Lan Yangcun and Lu Maoxian, and make the matter bigger, so that Ma Wu will waste the ten thousand dollars."
…
Late at night, Ma Wu pushed away the girl beside him and walked out of the room.
This girl is the queen of singing tonight. She is pretty and sings well. She is truly a beauty on earth.
But Ma Wu was not interested.
There are some things that girls don't know and can't learn.
He went to the dance floor to listen to some music, and Lu Yuanshan and Lu Yuanhai happened to be there.
Lu Yuanshan called out, “Jun Yang, come and sit down. What’s wrong? Are you not satisfied with the singing?”
Ma Wu shook his head and smiled, "I'm a little tired from traveling all the way. I really can't stand it anymore."
Lu Yuanhai laughed: "Old Five, are you kidding me? Do you still feel like you can't stand it anymore?"
The three were chatting and laughing when a guard came forward and whispered something to Lu Yuanshan.
Lu Yuanshan glared: "Is this true?"
Zhi Gua nodded and said, "Absolutely true."
Lu Yuanhai said, "What happened?"
Lu Yuanshan looked at his brother, then at Ma Wu: "I'm afraid you won't believe me, but the two newspaper offices of the Ling family were burned down, and the printing factory was also burned down."
Ma Wu was shocked: "Who did this?"
The Ling family is considered the fifth largest family in Provo. Who would dare to burn down their newspaper office?
Zhi Gua shook his head and said, "We still don't know who did it."
Lu Yuanshan said with a look of regret: "Ling Miaowen and I have a good relationship. If something so serious happens, should I go over and take a look?"
Lu Yuanhai nodded and said, "We have to go and take a look. This is big news. Should we bring the reporters over to take a look?"
Lu Yuanshan slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. Lao Wu, let's go together. You should also show your gratitude to the Ling family. We will have to deal with them in the future."
Ma Wu waved his hand and said, "I won't go. I'm not prepared..."
Lu Yuanhai smiled and said, "You don't need to prepare it, brother. I'll prepare it for you. Isn't it just a gift? Why would you worry about it?"
Ma Wu looked at the brothers' reactions and his heart was filled with turmoil.
The two brothers are very excited!
Why are you so excited?
When he arrived at the newspaper office and saw the ruins, Ma Wu figured it out.
This is a warning from the Lu family to the Ling family.
The Lu family encountered trouble, but they did not fall.
…
On the hospital bed, He Jiaqing clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "Barbarians, they actually attacked the newspaper. It was these barbarians who ruined Prozhou."
A man's voice came to my ears: "What should we do now?"
"Go back to Green Water City first and find out what happened at the newspaper."
"I want to go back. This land can no longer be defended. The three heroes of Iron Sheep are dead. Rong Yeguang is very angry and wants to withdraw his people."
"If we withdraw, then we will. How much effort has been put into this newspaper? Can't you tell which is more important?"
"If we withdraw now, what will happen to that thing?"
He Jiaqing let out a long sigh: "Wait a minute, my brother will not give up this family business, I will take it back after a while."
…
Li Banfeng stood beside the new land opened up by Lu Xiaolan, staring blankly.
It's strange, why is there no one here?
Li Banfeng was still thinking about how to deal with Lu Xiaolan, and she left now?
What happened?
…
Ma Wu rushed back to Xindi and arrived at the ten-mile area, looking for Li Banfeng everywhere.
Chuanzi said: "Seventh Master has returned to his original plot of land. He said he wants to practice well in the next two days."
Ma Wu went to the plot and waited for half a day before finally seeing Li Banfeng: "Seventh Brother, something happened in Green Water City."
"What's the matter?" Li Banfeng was not very interested in the affairs of Green Water City.
"The Ling family's newspaper office was burned down."
"A fire?" Li Banfeng had no interest in such things.
"It doesn't look like a fire. I went to the scene and it was probably the Lu family who did it. Two newspaper offices and a printing factory were all burned down."
Li Banfeng was stunned for a long time, his thoughts constantly turning in his mind.
Ma Wu said: "I went to the Lu family and gave them 10,000 yuan. I wanted to resolve the misunderstanding. They invited me to stay overnight at the Paramount, but something went wrong that night..."
Ma Wu was still describing what happened when Li Banfeng stopped him and asked, "Where did you buy the record player?"
"What record player?"
"Where did you buy the record player in the meeting room?"
Ma Wu blinked his eyes and said, "The Miaosheng record player is good. Only his family has such a good record player."
Li Banfeng looked expressionless.
Ma Wu said: "Let's not talk about the record player first, let's talk about the Ling family first, this matter is not ordinary..."
"It's unusual. It's such an important matter. We have to go back to the meeting room to talk about it while listening to the music. You go back to the meeting room and wait for me. I'll be there soon."
Ma Wu couldn't understand Li Banfeng's thoughts. Li Banfeng insisted that he go to the meeting room, so Ma Wu went.
