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...
Green Water City, Lu Maoxian’s residence.
Lu Maoxian flipped through the newspaper sent from Heishipo, then sat silently in the chair without saying a word.
He knew that something had happened in Blackshipo, and he also expected that someone would go to Blackshipo to cause trouble because of the incident of "The Bloodshot Detective".
But he didn't expect this result.
Tang Peigong was seriously injured and almost became a disabled person.
Wu Decheng disappeared and there has been no news of him since then.
The butler brought a cup of tea, and Lu Maoxian waved his hand, indicating that he should put it aside.
"Go buy a ticket. I'm leaving for Blackrock today."
"Master, are you going alone?"
Monkey Qiu was flipping through the newspapers of Heishipo very seriously. He had always liked the newspapers and magazines of Heishipo.
Lu Yuanhai said: "This kind of thing shouldn't be common, right?"
Lu Maoxian smiled and said, "You can't let anyone know that I'm going to Heishipo. You're doing a good job, so I don't need to worry about it."
Monkey Qiu shook his head and said, "Don't think about it anymore. Some things are not worth our gamble because we can't afford to lose."
Lu Maoxian shook his head and said, "Some things have to be taken care of, otherwise some identities will be lost."
"Will it be alright if I don't get involved?" Lu Maoxian laughed bitterly. "Everyone knows that Black Slope is my territory. I can't avoid this matter even if I want to."
…
"You earn money from the territory, but you don't have to care about the things on the territory."
Madam Duan Shaoxia came down the stairs and asked, "What were you talking about just now?"
Monkey Qiu nodded and said, "It is indeed an opportunity. You can publish a few articles in the newspapers to talk about the evil deeds of the Qingshui Society over the years.
Just like what happened in Heishipo, beating up the old lady, being splashed with feces, and refusing to admit defeat in a fight, write it all down.”
"I thought you were going somewhere. It's not that serious. Uncle Qiu has his own plans for this matter. He is definitely doing this for our own good."
Qiu Zhiheng was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Not appropriate."
"Uncle Qiu, I think my uncle will definitely go to Black Slope, but he doesn't want too many people to know about this."
"Master, if you ask me, you can't go to Blackshipo. Who are you? What's your reputation? What has become of Blackshipo? You can't involve yourself in this matter."
Lu Yuanhai was shocked when he heard this, but after being shocked, he became a little excited.
"It's rare. You have to look for it and ask about it. If there's something, you have to tell it in detail, just like the writing style in this newspaper. Let the people in your newspaper pay more attention to it. The most important thing is that this matter must be related to the old man."
Qiu Zhiheng was stunned: "Isn't that what you mean? What is the good opportunity you are talking about?"
"Uncle Qiu, I just said that this is an opportunity." Lu Yuanshan repeated.
Lu Yuanshan said, "If Uncle goes to Black Slope alone, this will be a rare opportunity for us. We have to make a break anyway, so why not take this opportunity to make it happen."
Lu Yuanhai scratched his head and said, "This really requires some effort."
Lu Maoxian smiled and said, "What else? Who else can we take with us?"
"Master, there are some things I don't know whether I should say or not."
Lu Yuanhai looked at the newspaper and said with a smile: "If you ask me, this Black Slope newspaper is much more interesting than ours. Let's write about this in the future. I guarantee that we can defeat the Ling family completely!"
Lu Yuanhai agreed repeatedly, and Lu Yuanshan got up and left.
…
Lu Yuanshan said, "Uncle Qiu, I think the possibility is very small. Uncle Qiu cherishes his reputation so much. Blackshipo's reputation has been so bad. How could Uncle Qiu let others know that he and Blackshipo have any involvement other than business? Isn't he afraid that he will be in the newspapers along with Blackshipo?"
Lu Yuanshan didn't say anything, Lu Yuanhai said: "Talking about the matter with my uncle, no, it's nothing serious."
Duan Shaoxia looked at her two sons and warned them, "No matter what you say, you have to listen to your Uncle Qiu. Don't make decisions on your own. Do you hear me?"
Lu Yuanshan shook his head and said, "Green Water City is different from Black Ship Hill. The people living in Black Ship Hill are all coolies, so nothing they make there is new.
The people living in Green Water City are civilized. If they dare to do this, the Lu family’s reputation will be ruined. However, this is an opportunity.”
The butler said nothing more.
Lu Yuanshan sat on the sofa with a gloomy face.
As he spoke, Lu Yuanshan looked at Monkey Qiu.
In the outer house, Lu Yuanshan was drinking alone in his bedroom, and Lu Yuanhai pushed the door and walked in.
"Don't worry, sir."
"So you want to?"
After saying that, Qiu Zhiheng got up and left.
"Go ahead." The butler had been with him for many years, and Lu Maoxian had always been kind to him.
Lu Yuanshan was puzzled: "Why not?"
Qiu Zhiheng put down the newspaper: "Acting in secret and being unprepared are two different things. The old man may not go to Heishi Slope alone. He may have hidden his men in the dark."
Lu Yuanshan frowned and said, "Uncle Qiu, do you want us to scold him?"
He looked at Qiu Zhiheng.
Lu Yuanshan poured a glass of wine for Lu Yuanhai: "Xiaohai, do you think that Uncle Qiu's actions are very similar to that of a certain person?"
"Who does it look like?"
"Like our dad."
"That's right!" Lu Yuanhaimin took a sip of wine, "He climbed up with our father. Our father said that 30% of his empire was conquered by Uncle Qiu."
"They are indeed capable of building an empire, but neither of them can maintain it!"
Lu Yuanhai waved his hand and said, "Don't say that!"
"I'm not wrong. Just look at our dad. How many troubles have he left around him over the years? Before, it was the second uncle, then Zhuo Yuling, and now it's the great uncle. Which one of them is not a ruthless person?"
"My father knows all these things and has always been on guard."
"What's the point of just being on guard? Has he ever done anything?"
"It's not easy to attack my own family..."
"It is the most difficult to guard against a thief within the family. You can guard against him for a while, but not forever. This is such a good opportunity, but Uncle Qiu doesn't want to take action.
To tell you the truth, I have already found out that Lu Maoxian has bought a train ticket for tomorrow night and is going to Heishipo alone. If you miss this opportunity, there will be no next time."
Lu Yuanhai looked at Lu Yuanshan, blinked and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Didn't I tell you that this will have to end sooner or later? Let's do it now!"
"Just the two of us?"
"I have already found the manpower. We have many capable people in the Lu family.
And there is someone who is willing to join us in the fight. Do you know who killed our second uncle?"
"My second uncle is dead?" Lu Yuanhai was stunned. "Didn't they say he was missing?"
"He is dead. He died at the hands of He Haiqin. I have already found out about this. He was the one who poisoned He Haiqin. He Haiqin has already avenged himself.
Lu Maoxian spread rumors about He Jiaqing, which earned him a grudge from He Haiqin, who was planning to take Lu Maoxian in this time."
Lu Yuanhai was stunned. His own brother had done so many things in secret, but he was totally unaware of it.
Lu Yuanshan sighed, "He Haiqin is a man who knows how to rule the country. When he fell ill, the He family went downhill. When he recovered, the He family's limelight rose again. With him taking action, this matter will be foolproof."
Lu Yuanhai hesitated: "Brother, it's better to discuss this with Uncle Qiu..."
"I discussed it with him, and you saw it, he doesn't dare to do it! If we continue to be so cowardly with him, what can we accomplish?
When Lu Maoxian attacks us in the future, what can he do? Isn't he just like Zuo Wugang, rubbing his hands and staring blankly?
Yuan Hai, I won't make it difficult for you. I will do it tomorrow night, and you can cover up for me at home then."
Lu Yuanhai stood up and said, "Brother, what you said is wrong. This is a matter between the two of us. How can I let you go alone? I will go with you."
…
The next night, Lu Maoxian took a rickshaw to the train station.
He was wearing a blue cloth gown, a beige hat, and carrying a wicker box. He looked like an old man with some money, but no one would have thought that he was the old man of the Lu family.
For fear that the news would leak out, Lu Maoxian did not dare to use his own rickshaw driver. He just hired this rickshaw on the roadside. Halfway through the journey, the rickshaw driver pulled the rickshaw into an alley.
Lu Maoxian frowned: "Where are you going?"
"Old man, I'll take you through a shortcut."
"No need to take the shortcut, go back to the main road."
"Old man, this road is really short. If you arrive earlier, I will have to run less. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"
"I'll give you more money, so don't take any shortcuts. Where are you going?" Lu Maoxian was still arguing with the driver, but his hands were ready. He knew something had happened.
"Where are you going?" the driver said with a smile, "To the underworld!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the driver flipped his wrist and suddenly overturned the cart to the ground, trapping Lu Maoxian under the cart.
Lu Maoxian was stunned.
He was ready for battle.
The driver was not very fast and his technique was not very skillful. As long as Lu Maoxian took a slight leap before getting off the car, he would be able to jump out of the car.
But Lu Maoxian didn't jump up, he didn't even stand up.
It was not until he was trapped under the car that he realized he could not move.
How could it not move?
Suddenly I heard the driver talking outside the carriage.
"Old Master, I've taken you on such a long journey, so is it fair for me to let you sit a little longer?"
Because you dragged me all the way, you restrict me from moving?
Is this a Feng Xiu?
Lu Maoxian was shocked and tried to move his hands and feet vigorously.
Looks like it can move now.
Lu Maoxian pushed the rickshaw that was fastened to his body. The rickshaw was extremely heavy and he pushed it several times but it hardly moved at all.
"The flower path has never been swept for guests, and the door is now open for you!" Lu Maoxian recited a line of poetry, wanting to open a door on the car body.
The car body did not respond.
This is a spiritual object of a very high level!
Lu Maoxian took out another brush from his arms and wrote a word on the car hood - open!
The sixth level of literary skill is worth a thousand gold coins!
This is an advanced technique, and the brush in Lu Maoxian's hand is also a high-level spiritual object.
A word was written, and a red light burst out. There seemed to be more cracks on the canopy, but there was still no opening.
Lu Maoxian was extremely anxious, but he didn't know that it would be even more dangerous if he went out now.
He Haiqin, Lu Yuanshan, and Lu Yuanhai are now standing outside the car.
The driver of the cart was Lu Dongliang's old subordinate, Fengxiu Tan Fucheng.
He Haiqin exclaimed: "Xiaoshan, your Lu family has so many talented people."
Lu Yuanshan smiled and said, "Uncle Qin, you are too kind. The matter has been settled. I will leave the final touch to Uncle Qin."
He Haiqin shook his head and said, "I didn't do anything, it's all thanks to this brother.
Besides, this old guy is from your family, so it would be better for you to take action.
Don't worry, as long as you don't tell anyone about what happened today, it won't get out. After all, I was involved, and I can't get myself dragged down."
Lu Yuanshan looked at Lu Yuanhai.
Lu Yuanhai's face turned pale, and he stammered, "I, I can't..."
He Haiqin frowned and said, "What are you afraid of? I'll be watching here. If this old guy dares to fight back, I'll beat him up!"
Lu Yuanhai said nothing.
He Haiqin sighed: "You two are still young. If Monkey Qiu was here, this old guy would have died long ago."
Lu Yuanshan didn't like to hear this.
Monkey Qiu doesn’t even dare to come, so why mention him?
Lu Yuanshan said: "Yuanhai, go to the intersection and spread the word. You should be able to do this, right?"
Lu Yuanhai lowered his head and hurried to the intersection.
The driver opened a slit in the hood.
Lu Yuanshan drew out a long sword.
"Uncle, go on your journey with peace of mind!"
PS: This driver is not the same person as the driver in Yaowanggou.
