Lu Chen walked out of the Jade Buddha Temple with a serious expression, because the Jinyiwei who had just come in told him that a brother had some conflict with the people outside, and now both sides were ready to confront each other.
"How unprofessional! I told you to stand guard outside, and this is how you do things? No wonder Ma Tong's whereabouts are unknown. With men like you, it's a wonder he gets anything good out of his work."
"Practice more for me when you get back, until I vomit blood!" After cursing for a while, Lu Chen calmed down and said, "Tell me, how did the conflict happen?"
"Well, after we separated the crowd, we were on guard outside when a young couple came up to us and said they wanted us to let them in. They had something urgent to do. They said someone had calculated that if they could burn a stick of incense before noon, they would have a big fat boy."
"We certainly don't believe this kind of nonsense, and we certainly won't let them in just for such an unreliable reason."
"When we refused, they started pushing us, trying to force their way in, and started swearing at us."
"At this time, one of the brothers was getting impatient from being pushed and shoved, so he said that if they wanted a child, there was no need to go to the temple to pray, and he could help."
"When the man heard this, he attacked us. Our brothers were not to be outdone and knocked him to the ground in a few seconds. Then the people around us surrounded us, accusing us of bullying and demanding an explanation."
Lu Chen nodded, he finally understood.
"So, someone provoked you, and you couldn't hold back and retaliated with a foul-mouthed remark, and then a fight ensued, right?"
"Yes...it is like this. I have failed to perform my duties properly. Please punish me, Master Imperial Master."
Lu Chen looked at the other person's Feiyu suit unhappily and said, "You will be punished when you return. Your position will be demoted one level."
The other party hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Imperial Master, for your mercy."
Lu Chen curled his lips and said, "Punishing you is not the purpose. The purpose is to make you realize that you are wrong. Do you know where you are wrong?"
"I know...I know. It's my fault for not keeping a close eye on my subordinates. Next time this happens, I'll make sure they keep their mouths shut!"
"You useless piece of shit! You don't even know where you went wrong. You can forget about leading troops in the future." Lu Chen pointed to the side and said, "You, yes, you. Come here. What should you do if you encounter this kind of situation in the future?"
The person Lu Chen casually pointed out was bewildered, but soon he revealed a murderous look on his face and said, "If I had let my subordinates lead the team, then that couple would have been dead by the time they squeezed over!"
Lu Chen nodded in satisfaction and said, "You're pretty good. What's your name?"
The other party knelt down on the ground with an excited look on his face and said, "I am Ye Wuchen!"
"Ye Wuchen? What a great name! The Ye family is indeed one of the four great families. The people who come out of it are not ordinary people. You will be the leader of this group from now on. During your time in Quanzhou City, you will report directly to me!"
Ye Wuchen didn't expect that a pie would actually fall from the sky and hit him right on the head.
He said excitedly: "Thank you, Master Imperial Master, for your cultivation!"
Lu Chen gestured for the other party to stand up, then said to the group of Jinyiwei around him: "Always remember what you are doing! You are Jinyiwei, you are the country's violent agency! A violent agency should act like a violent agency!"
"Can any random person come up and chat with you? Can any random person get entangled with you? Is that embroidered spring sword on your waist just for show?"
"Is it your job to make friends with the people? If you do that, what should I do?"
After being scolded by Lu Chen, the Jinyiwei present finally understood what they had done wrong.
Especially the leader of the Jinyiwei who had been with Lu Chen before, now he was beating his chest and stamping his feet in regret.
These Jinyiwei were originally a group of killers, and everyone had a bad temper.
It’s because Lu Chen is coming that everyone has calmed down a lot.
Who could have imagined that their restraint would cause problems!
Ye Wuchen grinned, his smile as sharp as an anaconda's, and said, "Master Imperial Master, I will take my brothers with me to kill that couple right now!"
Lu Chen waved his hand and said, "Alright, now that I'm out here, I can't resort to violence. You guys weren't able to overpower these guys with your aura at the beginning, so it's impossible for you to act tough now."
As he said this, Lu Chen came to the center of the conflict.
Looking at the indifferent and even hateful eyes of the people around him, Lu Chen knew that today was not going to work.
He couldn't really order all these people to be killed, what would happen then?
If you want to accomplish great things, you must make more friends and fewer enemies.
If he makes the entire Quanzhou city surrounded by enemies, then what's the point of talking about expanding Quanzhou city?
So Lu Chen stepped forward, first scolded the foul-mouthed Jinyiwei harshly, and then apologized to the young couple in public.
Lu Chen even took out some gold and silver and gave them to the young couple, saying it was to establish a good relationship or something.
While doing this, Lu Chen was always observing the expressions of the people around him.
He found that no matter what he said or did, the eyes of these people were cold.
But after he gave the money, the group of people stopped surrounding Lu Chen.
Originally, he wanted to cause trouble for the Jade Buddha Temple, but he didn't expect this incident to happen. Lu Chen didn't plan to turn back, but directly led his men back to Quanzhou City.
After returning to his residence, Lu Chen asked someone to make a pot of tea. He then sat on a chair, tapping his fingers lightly on the table as he thought about something.
Ye Wuchen, who had just been promoted, asked curiously, "Sir, what are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking, aren't the people of Quanzhou City too pious? They're also too bold. They knew you were Jinyiwei, yet they still dared to approach you. Do you think they're really crazy about having a child? Or do they have some other motive?"
At this time, Mou Ping and Zhao Gongming walked in from outside. Mou Ping said with a bad face, "National Master, as you said, I went out to inquire and found that the people of Quanzhou City do have a resistance mentality towards us, and even have a hint of hatred. What do you think we should do?"
Zhao Gongming added, "Housing prices have already quintupled. As far as I know, ordinary people have already been forced out, leaving only a few merchants trading properties here. Imperial Master, I think it's time to take action, otherwise prices will continue to rise."
Lu Chen didn't rush to speak, but continued to tap the table with his fingers. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes and said, "I have a plan that can break this situation."
Everyone asked in unison: "What's the plan?"
"Fart spit fart!"
