"The following is all left to you. Whether those lying on the ground can receive justice has nothing to do with me!"
Lu Yuan came to Ji Xiaojiu's side and explained the matter.
But when he saw the young man's dejected look, as if he hadn't heard his question, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you okay?"
This time the voice was raised a few degrees, calling the young man's soul back.
"Ah, senior called me?" Ji Xiaojiu looked nervous.
"I've been talking to you for a long time, why have I lost my soul?"
"I didn't lose my soul. I was shocked by Senior Lu's action. I suffered a blow and suddenly had self-doubt. I felt ashamed of my previous words!"
Ji Xiaojiu didn't hide anything and spoke out his true thoughts.
"I see, I thought you didn't want to take responsibility anymore!" Lu Yuan said.
Ji Xiaojiu said hurriedly: "I don't dare, and I don't know how to play with seniors!"
"Then how do you deal with these members of the Wild Wolf Gang and the magistrate?"
"The members of the Wild Wolf Gang will be handed over to the government. I will report this matter to the magistrate of Qingfeng County to the court!"
"Yeah, that sounds doable!"
Lu Yuan could tell from his words that Ji Xiaojiu was at least a second-generation official. His family's official position must be quite high, otherwise they wouldn't be at all afraid of the magistrate of Qingfeng County.
"Okay, you guys get busy, it's time for me to go back to bed!"
Lu Yuan yawned, then turned to look at Xiao Han, who was also yawning on his back. The biological clocks of each turtle were surprisingly consistent, making them very sleepy at bedtime.
He walked away without any hesitation, walked to the backyard of Tianxiang Pavilion, and climbed over the wall.
Only then did Ji Xiaojiu turn his eyes to his companions. He felt deeply guilty when he saw the tired faces.
He bowed deeply to everyone and said apologetically: "I didn't investigate clearly what happened this time, and I almost killed everyone. I'm sorry, everyone!"
"Brother Jiu, it's not your fault, it's all of us who underestimated the enemy!"
"That's right! Our journey has been so smooth. We thought that by getting rid of a few gangs, we would achieve something in the world, but we didn't expect that we would fall into a trap. It is our pride that has harmed us, and it is none of your business, Brother Ninth!"
"It's still that we don't know much about Jianghu, and our experience is too shallow. This time, we can see that there are people outside the world. There is a world outside the world. Senior Lu really taught us a lesson!"
After experiencing this incident, the young man's companions can be regarded as sharing the same adversity. There is no blame in their words, but more reflection on themselves.
Listening to the words of comfort from his companions, Ji Xiaojiu found it difficult to let himself be depressed any longer. Meeting such a group of companions meant that his journey was not in vain.
He bowed again, then raised his head and straightened his posture, the boy's confidence returning.
"We must learn from this incident in the future and strive to become a master like Senior Lu!"
After a group of teenagers experienced a failure, they were not knocked down after being discouraged. Instead, they encouraged each other and used their bold words and ambitions to invigorate themselves again.
Lu Yuan entered the woodshed and was about to close the door when he was blown by a gust of wind, and then a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
"Xiaohan, it's great to be young! Even if you are a passionate young man, you will still have the courage to come again!"
The little fool on his back tapped his head up and down, not because he agreed with Lu Yuan's words, but because he was dozing off.
It had been a long and tiring night.
Early the next morning.
The front door of Tianxiang Pavilion was cleaned up, and the blood stains and broken items on the ground were also cleaned up in time.
Lu Yuan got up early and chopped firewood for a while, and Ji Xiaojiu came around noon.
"Senior Lu, everything has been taken care of!"
Ji Xiaojiu reported the results to Lu Yuan.
"So fast?"
Lu Yuan did not expect that Ji Xiaojiu had taken care of everything after just one night. Should he praise the young man for his quickness, or should he praise the officials of the Wu Kingdom for their high efficiency?
Then, he thought of something important.
"Then without the Wild Wolf Gang, what will happen to Tianxiang Pavilion in the future?"
"Ban it!"
"How will the women in that building live in the future?"
"This matter is the fault of the Qingfeng County government. It will provide corresponding compensation to the forced girls and help them go home!"
"As for those girls who volunteer, the government can't help them much with their affairs. If they are still willing to engage in this business, they will probably go to a brothel in a nearby town. If they are not willing to engage in this business, then Qingfeng City can always find a job to make a living. !”
Lu Yuan nodded, quite satisfied with these handling methods. At least he didn't destroy the Wild Wolf Gang and throw Tianxiang Pavilion there. Regardless of the life or death of the women in the building, Ji Xiaojiu still had something to offer.
"Okay, I know everything!"
Lu Yuan didn't care much about these trivial matters. He would just listen to what Ji Xiaojiu told him, and it would be fine if he didn't say anything.
"Senior Lu, I got this from the steward!"
Ji Xiaojiu handed a piece of paper to Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan took it and knew what it was without looking at him.
The 30-year contract of sale was signed five years ago. Unexpectedly, Tianxiang Pavilion was about to close down even after 30 years of living and drinking!
All the firewood he chopped was in vain!
Ji Xiaojiu wanted to say something more, but when he saw that Senior Lu had no intention of paying attention to him, he walked away knowingly.
The Qingfeng City government may have dealt with the Tianxiang Pavilion matter in a timely manner because a new person was in charge.
In three days, the government officials settled the girls in Tianxiang Pavilion, and now they just need to put a seal on the door.
It was a very simple thing to put up the seal, but an adult stopped me, saying that there were still people inside who hadn't left yet, and it wouldn't be too late to put it up after they left.
Lu Yuan was not a fool and knew that this was Ji Xiaojiu's secret arrangement.
In the past three days, he was chopping firewood and improving his proficiency as usual.
On the evening of the third day, he did one more thing, which was to pack his luggage and prepare to leave.
In the early morning of the fourth day.
Lu Yuan stood at the last post and chopped the last load of firewood. He tied the hatchet to his waist.
He turned around and returned to the house, picked up the packed luggage, and carried Xiaohan on his back.
He closed the door of the woodshed without any reluctance. Compared with his long life, the short five years here were just a blink of time.
There are not too many feelings of separation and separation, after all, those things belong to frustrated people.
Walked out of Tianxiang Pavilion.
Different from the bustle of the past, it was now deserted outside Tianxiang Pavilion.
Sure enough, without the breath of people, no matter how beautiful or gorgeous the building is, there is no warmth.
Ji Xiaojiu rushed over in time after hearing the news that Lu Yuan was leaving, along with his companions and government officials.
Lu Yuan saw the only familiar face left, and his usual easy-going smile appeared on his face.
At this time, Ji Xiaojiu also returned a sunny smile, like the breeze and the bright moon, more like the smile Ji Xiaojiu in the laundry room gave to Brother Lu in the woodshed in the past, without the barrier between the juniors and the seniors.
The two of them didn't say anything, but it seemed like everything was silent.
Lu Yuan walked forward step by step towards the broad street. The little boy on his back had never seen the lively Qingfeng City during the day. It looked at everything with its curious little eyes.
After leaving Tianxiang Pavilion, it seemed that I had truly come into contact with the world.
It wasn't until the backs of one person and one turtle were about to disappear that a word came from the front.
"Xiaojiu, see you in the world!"
Ji Xiaojiu bent down and bowed deeply to the disappearing figure, and his companions also bent down and bowed deeply.
Only the officials in the government were confused and wondered whether these young people were stupid and indifferent to the new county magistrate, but instead respected the workers of Tianxiang Pavilion so much.
Today’s young people really live a long life!
When they stood up again, these teenagers were in high spirits again. The difference from a few days ago was that their brows were less immature and more mature.
Ji Xiaojiu has a tall and straight posture, is outstanding, and looks into the distance. Under the influence of Lu Yuan, he also has new goals and directions.
With a faint smile on his lips, he said quietly but firmly:
"Brother Lu, see you in the world!"
