Li Banfeng was preparing to go to Yaowanggou to visit Manager Feng of Fengji Grocery Store.
Bai Qiusheng was just asking people to buy travel permits and tickets when he heard someone come in and say, "Mr. Ai from the Qing Shouhui is here to discuss business."
Upon hearing about the Qingshou Association, Li Banfeng felt sick. Bai Qiusheng asked in surprise, "Ai Chixiang? What kind of business can they have with us?"
Yu Wenqi said: "Why not just kick them out? We have a grudge against them to begin with."
Li Banfeng took out the deed paper from his arms and saw some rust on it.
This means that Lu Yuesan is dead.
"It's okay to talk to them," Li Banfeng said calmly, "Ask them what they want to do first."
Bai Qiusheng went out to discuss business and came back a short while later.
"Seventh Master, they want to take over our projector business! The signboard, the craftsmanship, the factory, everything."
Yu Wenqi gritted his teeth and said, "This bunch of despicable people, seeing that we have made money, want to get their hands on us. Lao Bai, I will step out with you and curse these bastards to death."
"It's no use scolding them. Ai Chixiang brought a lot of people and surrounded our newspaper office. Yue Qingsong also came and said that if we don't agree, they will come to destroy us."
When Yu Wenqi heard that Yue Qingsong was coming, he remained silent.
Yue Qingsong is Wu Decheng's disciple and a fourth-level poison practitioner. Neither Yuwen Qi nor Bai Qiusheng are his match.
But since Li Qi was here, they were not afraid. Although they didn't know Qi Ye's cultivation level, it should be no problem for him to deal with Yue Qingsong.
The two looked at Li Banfeng, who was talking to himself.
“I came here and they wanted to take my business, is this a coincidence?
This is definitely not a coincidence, they are coming for me,
How did they know I was coming? Did they find out through Lu Yuesan?
This shouldn't be the case. Lu Yuesan had just left a short while ago. They shouldn't have acted so quickly.
They knew I was coming a long time ago. As soon as I returned to the museum, they knew I was coming.
There is a mole in the newspaper office.
It’s not surprising to have a traitor. When the business gets big, there are all kinds of people…”
Yu Wenqi said, "Seventh Master, what's wrong with you? Don't be like this. If something happens, let's work together to find a solution. Don't scare us."
Li Banfeng waved his hand, signaling not to disturb him, and continued to talk to himself:
"You know I'm in Black Rock Slope, but you still dare to come and take my business? What's your purpose in doing this?
Kill me?
Does Tang Peigong have this ability?
Just rely on these few people from Qing Shouhui?
The leader of the Qing Shouhui is the Saint, and besides the Saint there is Lu Maoxian. Is it the Saint who wants to deal with me, or is it Lu Maoxian who wants to deal with me?
If the saint wanted to deal with me, he would not just send these few people. He had suffered at the hands of me in the bitch post.
It should be Lu Maoxian’s idea.”
But why did Lu Mao choose Heishipo to deal with me first? Are those rotten garlics in Heishipo good enough?
Are they here to deal with me?
Li Banfeng kept talking to himself, and Bai Qiusheng and Yu Wenqi were both very anxious.
"Don't worry," Li Banfeng returned to normal, "Just chat with them, talk slowly, and see what they really want to do."
…
In the study of Lu Maoxian's residence, a scroll of bamboo slips fell to the ground.
The chief steward Xu Yangbo picked up the bamboo slips and brought them to Lu Maoxian's bedroom.
Lu Maoxian's face was pale. After he had cut off the root of his troubles, his injuries had never healed.
After taking the bamboo book, Lu Maoxian saw a slight halo on the bamboo slips.
He used a carving knife to carve a word on the bamboo slip: Read.
The word "阅" disappeared in an instant, and a line of words appeared on a bamboo slip: "Li Qi has arrived at Heishipao."
Before Lu Maoxian cut off the root of his troubles, he had issued orders to the Qingshou Associations in various places, asking them to find ways to detain Li Qi as soon as they received any news of his movements, and to report the news immediately.
The Qing Shouhui had many capable generals, but Lu Maoxian did not expect that the first person to deliver the message would be Tang Peigong.
Li Qi actually arrived at Heishipo?
Lu Maoxian was also a little surprised.
Is it really Li Qi?
Among this group of people, Ma Wu is the one who often goes to Heishipo to discuss business. Why does Li Qi go to Heishipo?
Li Qi's whereabouts are extremely difficult to track. Did Tang Peigong lie to seek credit?
Lu Maoxian held up the carving knife and asked, "Is the news true?"
A line of words appeared on the bamboo slips: "Absolutely true."
Although Tang Peigong has no special ability, he dare not lie to me.
Lu Maoxian pondered for a moment and responded, "Hold it."
After putting away the bamboo slips, Lu Maoxian immediately called the housekeeper: "Send someone to check the whereabouts of Lu Chunying, Ma Wu, and Tan Fucheng."
The butler went there immediately, and soon the news came:
"Lu Chunying is in her own house. Zuo Wugang and two assistants are also there."
This was within Lu Maoxian's expectations. After Qiu Zhiheng left, the Mawu faction took turns to protect Lu Chunying's safety. Today it was Zuo Wugang's turn.
The housekeeper went on to say, "Ma Wu had a serious illness a few days ago. He is a little weak and is still recovering in Xiaoyaowu."
"Is Ma Wu sick?"
The housekeeper nodded and said, "It was an emergency and he almost lost his life."
No wonder Li Qi went to Heishipo. It turned out that Ma Wu had just recovered from a serious illness and could not go out.
Lu Maoxian showed a hint of joy on his face, and then asked, "Where is Tan Fucheng?"
"Tan Fucheng is running his business on his own land."
Chance!
Once in a Lifetime Opportunity!
But is it really Li Qi on the other side of Heishipo?
Lu Maoxian was still worried, so he asked the butler to bring a bamboo slip and carved four words on it: "Is the news true?"
The other side’s response is absolutely true.
Lu Maoxian responded: "Drag him until dawn!"
The housekeeper said, "Master, Li Qi is in Heishipao, which is far away from here. We should worry about Zuo Wugang."
Lu Maoxian shook his head and said, "Zuo Wugang is not difficult to deal with. He has great martial arts skills but no decisiveness in critical moments. As long as the situation changes, he will be a useless person!
Li Qi is elusive and he is a real bad guy. What has he done to the Qingshou Society in Heishipo?
He is a traveling cultivator. If he really wants to run back, things will change. We must hold him back at Heishipao and send some more people to hold Tan Fucheng back as well, to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
The housekeeper heard this and said, "Master, what you said makes sense. Then I will go and arrange the personnel?"
Lu Maoxian nodded: "We need to arrange the manpower and prepare the news. After taking off Lu Chunying's head, we need to spread the news immediately and put the blame on Duan Shaoxia."
The housekeeper quickly arranged the staff, and when everything was almost ready, he took out a letter and handed it to a chores sweeping the floor.
The servant didn't ask any further questions and ran to the Lu family mansion while no one was paying attention.
…
Lu Chunying is checking the accounts at home.
She is smart and studious, but learning how to run a large family is not something that can be done overnight.
Qiu Zhiheng is gone, Ma Wu is very busy with business and has been recuperating these days, so there is no one to teach her and she can't figure out some things on her own.
She invited her cousin Lu Yuanxin to her home.
Lu Yuanxin is the son of Lu Dongjun. Due to Lu Dongjun's involvement, he is currently in the worst situation among his peers in the Lu family.
Back then at Lu Maoxian's house, Lu Chunying found a place for Lu Yuanxin. Lu Yuanxin was very grateful to Lu Chunying. Today, she invited Lu Yuanxin to be her teacher again. Lu Yuanxin was very respectful to Lu Chunying and taught very seriously.
Even though Lu Yuanxin had lost his family fortune, he was still a son of a prominent family with extensive knowledge and experience, and Lu Chunying really learned a lot from him.
At dusk, it was raining heavily. Lu Yuanxin was about to go home, but Lu Chunying asked him to stay, saying, "Brother, have a meal at home. It's a good opportunity to hide from the rain."
Lu Yuanxin said awkwardly, "I don't dare to bother you. I'll go back right away."
"It's just a simple meal, don't be polite." Xiao Yeci cooked a few side dishes himself.
Lu Chunying didn't have so many rules. She brought a few friends and had dinner at the same table with them.
Ever since Lu Dongjun got into trouble, Lu Yuanxin had been looked down upon. This rare courtesy from the clan made Lu Yuanxin very grateful.
Halfway through my meal, I heard someone knocking on the door.
