In the direction of the west gate, two beggars walked out quickly from the city gate.
He didn't stop when he passed the Xingjiao Inn, but ran towards the distance. He ran for more than ten miles before stopping in an abandoned village.
"Gugu~"
A man stood at the entrance of the village, holding his mouth and imitating the sound of the animal.
After a moment, a figure emerged from under the ruins.
There was actually an underground passage here. The man came out of the passage. When he saw the person coming, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"What, is there news in the city?"
The two beggars said excitedly: "There is news, Mr. Lu has been hit!"
The man said: "If you hit it, you'll hit it - what? Say it again!"
"Master Lu has been hit, and he has won the title of Juren, but he still has the title of Jieyuan!"
A scream came from the man's mouth. He turned around and went straight back to where he came from. Because he was so excited, he didn't look at the road for a moment and hit his head on a stone slab covering the underground entrance.
With a thud, everything was knocked to pieces, my head was buzzing, and my feet lost their balance, sliding all the way to the ground.
The banging sound attracted the attention of the five-man gang hiding underground. They all poked their heads out and watched warily.
"Don't look at it, it's a good thing!"
The people on the ground finally came to their senses and ran over carrying a big bag.
"Fuck you bitch, Lao Wu, I thought you were kicked off!"
"Tell me, what's the good thing?"
"Could it be that Mr. Lu solved the problems in the city?"
······
One by one, the key members of the five-man guild came out.
"It's solved, Master Lu passed the exam!"
"What?"
"Failed!"
"Master Juren!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several people rushed out from inside, holding knives in their hands. They were Zhao Hu, Wang Heihou, Niu Dazhuang and others.
"What did you say! Are you sure you heard correctly?"
Zhao Hu strode forward, his tone trembling slightly.
Half a month ago, they got the news from Lu Changsheng and took people away from the Four Gates Land and took shelter temporarily, leaving only the ordinary members of the original Sanhong Gang to take care of the affairs of the Four Gates Land.
As for the reason, Lu Changsheng did not tell them in detail, but just said that the result will be known in half a month.
After knowing the pros and cons, he knew that even staying outside would hinder Lu Changsheng, so he hid here.
"If something happens to Chang Sheng, we will risk our lives to rescue him!"
The waiting process was extremely torturous, and Wang Heihou and Niu Dazhuang never left their bodies.
Finally, they got the news.
But when I heard the news, I was completely shocked.
"You heard that right! Now the whole city is spreading rumors about Master Lu. Many scholars are calling Master Lu Lu Jieyuan!"
"Jie Yuan? Changsheng, he is the leader of Jinke!"
Liang Yun's tone was trembling, and even at this moment, he couldn't believe it.
"Let's get out!"
······
Li Gugua opened the courtyard door and saw a crowd of people inside the house.
"I've met Lu Jieyuan!"
A group of people bowed and shouted in unison.
Fortunately, this place is relatively remote and not many people pass by. Otherwise, it will definitely attract prying eyes.
Lu Nan was shocked, and when he saw this scene, he suddenly felt a little funny.
"As you go, you can just call me gang leader!"
"Gang leader!"
A group of people shouted again.
If the previous Lu Jieyuan might have been a rehearsal, then this call from the gang leader was definitely not the case.
Lu Changsheng felt a little emotional in his heart. It could be said that these people completely believed in him from the bottom of their hearts. What he said in the future would definitely be more useful than any other backbone of the Five People's Association.
Seeing that all the backbones had arrived, he was relieved and asked Li Guanggu, Zhao Hu, Wang Heihou and others to go out to buy some food to prepare for today's dinner.
In the evening, everyone was sitting in the yard chatting like they had done at previous gatherings.
Among them, it involves the future development of the Five-person Association.
Lu Changsheng won the imperial examination and obtained an official status. Then, those forces that had been able to force the Five People Association and prevent them from entering the city would no longer have the confidence and courage.
It is a foregone conclusion that the five people will enter Fucheng.
But the forces on the surface are easy to deal with, but behind the scenes, there may be bloodshed.
"It's a battle of interests, and it's impossible to stay quiet!"
Liang Yun, Zhao Hu and others had evil looks on their faces.
Having controlled the four gates for many years, and often dealing with various people, he has developed a unique "power" that, although invisible, can make ordinary people feel more stressed.
Lu Changsheng listened to their stories and made up for any problems.
In a blink of an eye, it's night.
While eating, suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
"Is Lu Jieyuan here?"
One of the five members closest to the door stood up and opened the door.
"I am the steward of the Chen Mansion. Could you please help me pass the message?"
Li Guanggu came over and felt sad when he saw the flattering and respectful look on his face.
The last person who came was a servant of the Chen family, but now it was the butler.
Moreover, she also saw some hurried figures not far away hiding in the darkness. With the hazy moonlight, she thought they might be the real owners of the Chen Mansion.
"Sorry, Changsheng said, today is not the right time!"
After receiving the reply, Housekeeper Chen turned around and left with a disappointed look on his face.
Not long after, he walked into the darkness not far away and saw Master Chen, Lin Xiaowen and others.
At this moment, the faces of a group of wealthy men were a little ugly.
They could see clearly what Li Guanggu did behind closed doors.
But deep down in my heart, I still feel a little bit lucky.
"how?"
"That Miss Li said that today is not a suitable day!"
"Alas~" Seeing this, Lin Xiaowen sighed deeply and looked at Chen Yifu, "That man must be really resentful!"
"Let's not take any chances, Chen Yifu, you will take the main responsibility for whatever happened to you!"
Chen Yifu's face turned red and he didn't refute, but he felt a little cold in his heart.
In their circle, it was agreed from the beginning that everyone would be prosperous and everyone would suffer.
But when something happens, the first thing I think about is to cut off my tail to survive.
I was angry in my heart, but I didn't dare to say it out.
If he really breaks away from this circle, then he and Chen Mansion will only be more miserable. The hungry wolves in Heishan Mansion will tear off pieces of flesh from him at all costs.
"Last time, you said that Lu Jieyuan mentioned your industry, why not-"
"Impossible! Without those properties, our Chen Mansion—" Mr. Chen suddenly jumped to his feet.
Industry is the source of maintaining the daily operation of the Chen Mansion. Once lost, his Chen Mansion will not last long!
"I'm afraid this matter is not up to you. Director Qu Xun mentioned this to me over there. If you persist in your obsession, we will consider cutting off any ties with you!" A big businessman said in a deep voice.
Not all of the industries of these large households are their own, and a considerable part of them are controlled by higher-level people.
"Of course, we will fill the hole in the school for you, you just need to come up with the other two industries!"
Another big trader said slowly.
Chen Yifu smiled helplessly and agreed.
Watching each large household turn around and disappear into the darkness, he looked back at the lively Wujin courtyard not far away with a dazed look in his eyes.
What seemed to him an ordinary small courtyard was now like a giant beast lying on the ground, opening its terrifying mouth.
"Lift people!"
