Xu Shu took out his cigarette case and lit a cigarette slowly, "It's really not worth it. Brother Wu, tell me what happened."
From beginning to end, Xu Shu didn't take Wu Menghua and the gang behind Wu Menghua seriously.
The reason is simple. Even if this group of people deceives all three thousand candidates, the income will only be 300,000 yuan.
Three hundred thousand yuan is indeed a huge amount of money, but if you participate in an extraordinary auction, you won't be able to buy a few decent things.
A gang has to worry about even this small amount of money. To put it bluntly, its style is really not high, and the mastermind behind the scenes doesn't have much structure.
Wu Menghua obviously realized that Xu Shu wanted to take advantage of him, so he refused to give in easily.
Just as he was thinking about what excuse to use, Xu Shu's big hand was already pressing on Shaoze's point.
Instantly, a stream of elixir breath surged out from Xu Shu's fingers and went straight into Wu Menghua's Shaoze point.
In an instant, Wu Menghua's veins burst out all over his body, and his whole body was red. His mouth opened to the maximum, but no sound came out.
The tremendous pain made his pupils dilate, as if he was suffocating and on the verge of death.
Within seven seconds, Xu Shu withdrew his big hand. Wu Menghua was as limp as mud and rolled his eyes. It took him a while to catch his breath.
When he looked at Xu Shu again, he felt like he was facing a man-eating devil, and his whole body was like a sieve of chaff.
"Tell me about it..."
Xu Shu was smoking.
This time, Wu Menghua was no longer "reserved" and poured the beans into the bamboo tube to explain everything.
"I will pay you back tenfold."
Wu Menghua said tremblingly.
Xu Shu stretched out his hand to untie his acupuncture points, "It's just money. Brother Wu defrauded it based on his ability, why bother to pay it back."
Wu Menghua was stunned.
Xu Shu cupped his hands and said, "Brother Wu, I'm sorry to bother you, please take my leave."
Xu Shu pulled the door latch, went straight out, and closed the door behind him.
Wu Menghua was stunned on the spot for a long time. Suddenly, with a fierce look in his eyes, he grabbed the phone on the desk and dialed the number immediately.
Wu Menghua introduced Zhujian Mountain to Xu Shu before, and he was not lying. The entire Zhujian Mountain was indeed built to cope with the coming of the extraordinary world.
Not only are all kinds of buildings and fortifications in place, but the communication facilities are also extremely complete. All the rooms at the steward level are connected by phone.
Wu Menghua just dialed the number. After a few beeps, a human voice came from the other side. Wu Menghua said sternly, "This time..."
Just as he spoke, the hang-up button was pressed.
Wu Menghua almost suspected that he was hallucinating. He couldn't help but rub his eyes. The beeping busy tone from the receiver clearly told him that this was not a hallucination.
At this moment, there were two knocks on the door.
Wu Menghua was so excited that he stepped forward and locked the door bolt.
He just took two steps back when the door bolt suddenly fell down.
With a creak, the door was pushed open and Xu Shu walked in.
The faint moonlight leaked in from the door, and Xu Shu's tall and straight figure cast an extremely tall shadow on the wall. In Wu Menghua's eyes, it looked so eerie and terrifying.
"Brother Wu, I just remembered that I didn't show you something, so I almost walked away, which almost caused Brother Wu to regret for the rest of his life."
After Xu Shu finished speaking, he locked the door, took out the Exploration Pearl, and opened the restriction. Light and shadow overflowed, and Wu Menghua's figure appeared.
What is revealed in Tanlizhu is Wu Menghua's confession. He described in detail how he and a group of stewards conspired and how they acted to deceive a group of people.
When the screen stopped, Xu Shu closed the restriction and took the Tanli Pearl back to the green ring.
Wu Menghua's whole body had collapsed to the ground, and there was no light in his eyes.
"Okay, Brother Wu, it's getting late, you should have some rest."
Xu Shu said hello, took off the door bolt, opened the stone door, and strode out.
Wu Menghua was still paralyzed on the spot, his mind full of mush.
Ding, ding, ding, the harsh ringing of the phone brought Wu Menghua back from his vain fantasy. He grabbed the phone and heard a hurried voice from the other side, "Old Wu, what's the matter? Why did you start talking? Silent?"
Wu Menghua murmured, "The number one immortal among three thousand people may be true..."
"What's the matter with steaming and boiling? What's wrong with you kid?"
The person on the other end of the phone was confused.
Wu Menghua rubbed his face vigorously, "It's okay, by the way, Old Song, tell your uncle, I will join Silver Sword Peak from now on."
"This is such a big deal, it's worth making this call."
"…………"
After conquering Wu Menghua with his virtue, Xu Shu went down the mountain overnight.
The mountain road in Zhujian Mountain is steep and the peaks are quite far apart. With Xu Shu's walking distance, it took him more than two hours to successfully return to the dormitory at Yinjian Peak.
After a good night's sleep, Xu Shu woke up early the next morning. After washing up and eating the food delivered, he took out a psychology classic, sat on the bluestone steps at the door, and read through it carefully.
Yesterday in the square, the steward in white who was in charge of the presentation made it clear that today we would determine the ranks and assign positions.
He was reading a book here while waiting for the cable car to pick him up.
Xu Shu was watching intently when he suddenly heard a voice saying, "Is your name Xu Shu?"
Xu Shu looked up and saw two people walking one behind the other on the stairs diagonally above.
The man in front of him is dressed in rich clothes and looks like a noble man. He is in his mid-twenties and has a proud look on his face.
The young man in gray clothes behind him was talking to Xu Shu, and he also had a wild look on his face.
"What do you two do for a living?"
Xu Shu collected the book and stood up to greet him.
The young man in gray said coldly, "It seems that you have found the right person. That Xu Shu, your good luck has come. This is my young master, whose surname is Xu and whose name is Jin. He is from the Xu family in the eastern capital."
As soon as these words came out, Xu Shu's eyebrows skipped a beat, and he secretly thought that he couldn't escape what was coming.
"It turns out that Mr. Xu was neglectful."
Xu Shu clasped his fists and hurriedly opened the stone door, "Since you are an honored guest, please come inside so I can serve you tea."
The young man in gray clothes looked at Xu Jin, Xu Jin snorted coldly, and the young man in gray clothes said loudly, "Clean up before inviting our young master in."
Xu Shu hurriedly agreed, and three minutes later, he said loudly, "It's all packed. Invite you two distinguished guests."
Xu Jin and the young man in gray came to the door. In the cramped stone room, there was a table and two futons.
Xu Jin glanced at the furnishings, with disdain in his eyes, and waved his hand, "I'll explain it quickly, so I can go back quickly."
The young man in gray said coldly, "My young master comes from the Xu family of the Eastern Capital. He has been an official for generations, and Duke Xian De even served as the deputy magistrate of De'an County in the previous dynasty.
Now there is one deputy supervisor, four department levels, and countless social levels in the court. They are well-known throughout the Eastern Capital and are well-known in Jiangzuo..."
Xu Shu had already guessed what Xu Jinlai was doing. He just wanted to see how good the Xu family in the East Capital could be.
Xu Shu has already got a good idea of the Xu family's situation through Huang Zhongmian.
The so-called high-ranking family in the Eastern Capital is nothing more than the Xu family putting money on their faces, that is, a middle-level official family.
The so-called Xian Degong of the deputy county magistrate was already seventy years ago.
In Xu Shu's view, ting (county), prison (city), department (county), community (town), and office (village) correspond to the ministries, offices, divisions, departments, and units in the previous life.
According to the young man in gray, the highest official rank of the Xu family in the government is the deputy supervisor level.
Locally, he might be proud of himself, but in the Eastern Capital where important ministers gather, there is really nothing to brag about.
