Chapter 85: The First Voice
It was late at night, and the lights in Duan's study were still on, which showed that Duan Benshu was still not resting.
Lao Fu, the housekeeper of the Duan Mansion, said with a sad face: "Master, the two of them have only supported one day of worship, and they are a little anxious! Now, they are all reluctant to work anymore!"
Duan Benshu only groaned and didn't speak.
Lao Fu saw that Duan Benshu was in a bad mood, and wanted to shut up, but the situation was really tense at the moment, so he still stubbornly asked: "Master, didn't you go to the mansion today?
"No!" Duan Benshu said lightly.
Lao Fu's face suddenly turned even more miserable, but Duan Benshu suddenly hesitated with the word "but", which made Lao Fu take a mouthful of blood again, and looked at Duan Benshu expectantly.
Duan Benshu hesitated and said, "However, I met Lord Tongju, and Lord Yuan showed me a way. ”
"What way?" asked Lao Fu impatiently.
Duan Benshu looked at Lao Fu and said, "He said that if you want not to be bullied by the Feihong Gang, it is best to have a good relationship with Lu Ran!"
"Who is Lu Ran?" Lao Fu asked subconsciously, and then said in surprise: "It's that and the young master...... Ahem!"
Duan Benshu's hand stroked the pattern on the handle of the teacup, and stopped talking.
Lao Fu said slowly: "Is he still alive?"
"Yes!" Duan Benshu nodded.
The wrinkles on Lao Fu's face seemed to be a little deeper, and he said with difficulty: "That's just afraid, white offerings, it's more auspicious!"
With a "click", Duan Benshu suddenly pinched the handle of the teacup.
After a moment of silence in the study, Duan Benshu spoke: "Lao Fu, write an invitation for me, please ask Lu Ran to come to the house tomorrow!"
"Yes!"
......
......
Early in the morning, Lu Ran received an invitation from Duan Mansion, and he also saw Chen Junyu with an embarrassed face.
"Is the gang very short of money now?" Lu Ran naturally knew that a penny was difficult to defeat a hero.
Chen Junyu said cautiously: "Yes, I don't know much about these things, and the brothers in the gang are all rough people now...... Well, Shopkeeper Tan seems to know more about these ......"
Lu Ran showed a slight groan on his face, he naturally still had a few thousand taels of silver, but if this money was invested, he was afraid that it would take more time to support it, and it would not solve the fundamental problem. What's more, Lu Ran recruited people to destroy the Feihong Gang and take over the gray area of the entire Gyeongju Mansion, not to put his own money into it and make his life tight.
And at this time, Lu Ran's gaze suddenly swept to the invitation card of the Duan family on the table.
"Isn't the Duan family very rich, can you let the Duan family advance the money needed for the development of the gang?" Such a thought suddenly appeared in Lu Ran's mind.
As soon as this thought appeared, Lu Ran really lingered, and gradually, he felt that maybe he could really find a way to let the Duan family be a big boss and pay for the development of his gang?
Looking at Chen Junyu, Lu Ran said: "Junyu, you go and investigate the recent situation of the Duan family now, and it is best to report the situation to me before noon today!"
Chen Junyu didn't understand why he suddenly got involved with the Duan family, but Lu Ran had an order, so he naturally had to obey his fate!
When Lu Ran went to the backyard to move around, and by the way, he cultivated and brushed up his experience points, and Chen Junyu sent the Duan family's recent situation over.
"Has the Duan family been in trouble by the Feihong Gang recently?" Lu Ran was a little surprised, and at the same time, a question also appeared in his mind, "So, why did the Duan family suddenly send me an invitation? They want me to help them? But do they think that they sent someone to kill me and Lu someone, and I Lu someone doesn't know?"
Although he has an incomprehensible question in his heart, Lu Ran is not very afraid of the Duan family, he has upgraded again, even if he encounters Bai Bailiang again, he is not afraid, not to mention, I heard that Bai Bailiang is still the strongest worship of the Duan family?
After tidying up his appearance, Lu Ran took An Ning to Duan's house in person.
And Duan Benshu, who couldn't see tranquility, came to the door alone without even bringing a weapon after seeing Lu Ran receive the invitation. He was a little surprised: Didn't he say that this Lu Ran had anything to do with Ye Shu's death? Could it be just a misunderstanding?
Seeing that Duan Benshu was a little absent-minded, Lu Ran stepped forward to greet him with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Hello Uncle Duan, I often hear my father mention you!"
Duan Benshu came back to his senses and looked at Lu Ran's young face, but he was a little in a trance: is it such a young man, so that Bai Xian, who was sent to kill him, disappeared quietly without seeing anyone and corpse?
You must know that before the white offering, but never missed!
Hearing the coughing sound of Lao Fu next to him, Duan Benshu suddenly came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Virtuous nephew, please inside!"
After Lu Ran sat down in the living room of the Duan Mansion, he said with a smile: "Uncle Duan, I don't know if you have something important to call me over today?"
"I just want to get in touch with my nephew more. Duan Benshu politely snorted.
Seeing this, Lu Ran didn't mean to follow Duan Benshu anymore, he came to this mansion to find a way to ask for money!
So, Lu Ran said with a smile: "Uncle Duan's words are a bit against his will, didn't you already send Bai Xian to contact me before? Why are you so polite?"
Hearing Lu Ran's words, Duan Benshu couldn't help but pick his eyelids, raised his head, and looked at Lu Ran in surprise, but his heart was beating rapidly and "pounding".
Lu Ran's face was full of smiles, and he looked sincere.
"Where is this nephew? Hahaha, Bai Offering? There is indeed a Bai Offering in my mansion, but he left Gyeongju Mansion earlier and went to ......" Under Lu Ran's gaze, Duan Benshu, who had always been very deep in the city government, couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart.
"Uncle Duan, you called me over, shouldn't you want to make up a story for me?" Lu Ran interrupted Duan Benshu's words lightly, and his honest appearance disappeared and was replaced by a smiling appearance.
Duan Benshu was at this moment, he already knew that he was timid in this negotiation, but he was still the one who wanted to ask for help, and many words that destroyed the harmony between the two sides could not be spoken, and the next ...... I'm afraid it's going to be very passive!
Seeing that Duan Benshu was silent and stopped talking, Lu Ran stretched out his hand, knocked on the low table beside him very rudely, and said with a smile: "As far as I know, in recent days, the Duan family seems to have been subjected to a lot of harsh criticism from the Feihong Gang, right?
As soon as they heard this, Duan Benshu and Lao Fu's faces changed suddenly, and there was a feeling that the fig leaf had been ripped off by Lu Ran!
