While they were talking, Lu Xiaoxian had already appeared in front of them.

"Hello Mr. Lu!" Lu Wuji and Lu Yuxiao respectfully saluted Lu Xiaoxian.

Since the last Lu family discussion, Lu Wuji has admired Lu Xiaoxian more and more, and now Lu Xiaoxian has become his idol.

"Nonsense, Third Master. You're welcome! Lu Xiaoxian returned the salute, pointed to the person who was talking to them just now, and said with a smile, "Come, let me introduce you to you, this is my friend Mu Qianren, you call him Mu Gongzi!" ”

The two of them couldn't help but secretly wonder in their hearts: Dare to love this Mu Gongzi turned out to be a friend of Lu Gongzi, but Lu Gongzi was good-looking, how could there be such a friend?

Although they muttered in their hearts, the two of them did not show it, and politely saluted Mu Qianren.

"Well said, well said! If you don't have Mu Gongzi, you can call me Brother Mu, or call me Lao Mu! "Mu Qianren is bold and tight.

"Mu Gongzi owes me the silver but has not repaid, today he wants to invite me to dinner, you two are also blessed, let's go together!" Lu Xiaoxian said with a smile.

Mu Qianren glanced at Lu Xiaoxian, and secretly despised it in his heart: When did I owe you money, it's just nonsense.

Lu Wuji and Lu Yuxiao glanced at each other, and said to Lu Xiaoxian sincerely: "Master Lu, I eat you every time, today I came with the third uncle, just to invite you back, it just so happens that Brother Mu is also there, let's go together!" ”

"How can this work?" Lu Xiaoxian waved his hand and said, "There has to be a first come, first come, next time you please, this time Mu Gongzi pleased, he begged me several times, I agreed!" He must be invited today! ”

When have you begged several times? Do I have to go up and invite you to dinner? Mu Qianren didn't want to mention how aggrieved he was.

"You say yes! Mu Gongzi! Lu Xiaoxian asked Mu Qianren with a smile.

Mu Qianren's face twitched, and he gritted his teeth with a smile and said, "Yes, yes, I said that I would invite, if I don't support Lu Gongzi half to death, wouldn't I be too unenthusiastic?" ”

Seeing Mu Qianren say this, Lu Wuji and Lu Yuxiao could only give up.

Mu Qianren took them to chat while walking, Lu Xiaoxian looked farther and farther away from Guanzheng Street, and couldn't help frowning: "Where are you taking us?" I'll get to the bottom of it, if you find a random place to fool us, I won't follow it! ”

"Shh Mu Qianren pouted and said, "Eat autumn wind every day, aren't you annoyed?" Where I took you, you have never been, make sure you are satisfied! ”

As they spoke, they came to a small courtyard.

Suddenly, Mu Qianren's nose twitched, like a hungry dog.

"What do you smell......" Lu Xiaoxian stopped only halfway through his words.

He also smelled the smell of boiled meat, and his saliva almost dripped to the ground.

"We've got a mouth!" Mu Qianren beckoned to the two, "Follow me!" ”

The courtyard door was closed, but Mu Qianren was very thick-skinned, and before he could knock on the door, the door opened.

A young woman with a blue and white apron around her waist appeared in front of them with a wooden basin.

The woman was eighteen or nineteen years old, with a round goose egg face, black eyes, red cheeks, and a youthful and lively atmosphere all around her body.

The woman seemed to recognize Mu Qianren: "It turned out to be Mu Ye, is there something wrong?" ”

Mu Qianren was also not polite: "Miss Xiaozhen, bring a few friends to Daddy Xu to disturb me today, please ask Miss Xiaozhen to tell Daddy Xu!" ”

"What bother, don't bother, Master Mu, you are too polite, you don't need to tell my father, I agreed!" Xiao Zhen splashed the water in the basin, turned around and said to Mu Qianren, "Come in!" ”

Lu Wuji and Lu Yuxiao hurriedly said: "Thank you, girl!" ”

Several people followed Xiaozhen into the courtyard, and Lu Xiaoxian secretly extended his thumb to Mu Qianren, but Mu Qianren didn't look at it, with a look of disdain.

The yard is not big, but it is also clean.

The house looked old, the roof was a little shabby, and even the thatch was exposed.

Father Xu is a simple person, after listening to Mu Qianren's explanation, he let the three of them into the house, and said with a smile: "It's not a very good thing, if this dog meat can still be ambiguous in three or nine days, it will be eaten, I'm afraid you will panic!" Come, three of you, please be seated! ”

Dog meat is bright in color, rich in aroma, and has an excellent taste.

As the saying goes: dog meat rolls three times, and the gods can't stand steadily. Smelling the smell of dog meat, the gods also jumped over the wall.

Father Xu asked his daughter to bring the home-brewed soju, and everyone ate the dog meat together.

Everyone used chopsticks to cut the dog meat into small pieces, and then rolled in the salted water and spicy seeds, while picking up a bowl and sipping shochu.

After a while, several people became acquainted.

Lu Wuji asked Mu Qianren curiously: "Brother Mu, what is the matter with the two leaders you said, as well as the location of the cockfighting conference?" ”

"That's a long ......" Mu Qianren took a sip of soju and explained the cause and effect of the incident one by one.

The so-called leader, to put it bluntly, is the gangster leader on the street.

There are six streets and ten alleys in Youzhou City, and each street and alley has a leader, and the merchants, hawkers, and the three sects and nine streams have to pay the head on a monthly basis. Of course, if you take your share of the money, you have to protect them.

The head of Yuqian Street and the head of the king of Miaoer Street, I don't know when there was a conflict, they both wanted to press each other, so they agreed to such a cockfighting conference, if anyone loses, they will give their territory to the other party.

As the saying goes: a poor dog, a rich cockfighter.

If you want to win in cockfighting, you have to have financial support. For this reason, both sides have invested a lot of money, bought dozens of various famous fighting cocks, and hired a chicken herd who specializes in raising chickens, in order to finally win in the cockfighting conference.

Lu Wuji was a little puzzled: "Since it is a fight for territory, why don't you take it with your strength and real guns, but you have to come up with such a literary method?" ”

Father Xu pouted and said, "It's not because of Master Lin's pressure, otherwise, they would have done it a long time ago!" ”

"Master Lin?" Lu Wuji's heart moved.

He suddenly remembered the Lin family mentioned by Lu Ruoliang during the Lu family's deliberations, this Lin master must have something to do with the Lin family.

Thinking of this, Lu Wuji asked tentatively: "Taken away the Qin family and the Huang family's property in Youzhou City, could it be Master Lin's masterpiece?" ”

"Not really! With such two big families, they can't fight Master Lin alone! Father Xu said with a mysterious face, "I heard that the Chen family is about to die!" ”

"Alone?" Lu Wuji asked strangely: "Master Lin is not the head of the Lin family, how can he be alone?" ”

Father Xu said with a smile: "It's true that Master Lin is the head of the Lin family, but up and down the Lin family, except for Miss Lin and Master Lin, there is no one surnamed Lin." Therefore, the Lin family is Master Lin, and Master Lin is the Lin family! ”

Lu Wuzhi listened to it and was shocked.

Dealing with the four hundred-year-old families on his own, and winning easily, this Master Lin is indeed not simple.

Lu Wuji asked again: "How can Master Lin suppress these heads?" ”

"Of course you can hold it down!" Daddy Xu gave a thumbs up, "Master Lin is a famous figure in Youzhou City......"

After listening to Daddy Xu's introduction, Lu Wuji had a general understanding of Master Lin.

Master Lin's name is Lin Feiyi, nicknamed Lin Laohu.

The people know very well in their hearts that Lord Yu is the biggest official in Youzhou, but in fact, Master Lin is the authentic emperor of Youzhou City.

As the richest man in Youzhou, Master Lin controls nearly half of the industries in Youzhou City. He is not only rich, but also quite powerful, the house has a hundred and ten family Ding Nursing Home, the leaders of each street, and they have to obediently pay tribute to Master Lin every month, otherwise it is impossible to gain a foothold in Youzhou.

Often have a grudge with the king, of course Master Lin knows, it is difficult to tell who is who between them, and it is not appropriate for Master Lin to favor either side. But if you want to turn a blind eye and let them fight, it will be difficult for the government to explain.

Mr. Lin loves cockfighting, and he racked his brains to finally come up with such an idea of winning or losing with cockfighting.

Chang Tou and Wang Tou originally wanted to fight hard and completely solve the grievances between them, but who knew that Master Lin had drawn such a way for them, and they couldn't help but give Master Lin's face.

Besides, this matter is not allowed for them to choose, if anyone retreats, they will not be looked down upon by the other party, and they will have no face to mix in Youzhou City in the future.

Thus, this cockfighting conference came into being.

Lu Wuji suddenly realized that the reason behind this cockfighting conference was not simple.

At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The Huang and Qin families were not unjustly defeated, and the Chen family couldn't support it for long, how could they deal with a black-and-white character like Master Lin?

From this point of view, if the Lu family lets Master Lin take aim at it, it will definitely be more than lucky.

How did Lu Yuxiao know that Lu Wuzi thought so much about it, and at this moment his mind was all on cockfighting, so he asked Daddy Xu: "Daddy Xu, according to you, who often fights cocks with the king, who has a better chance of winning?" ”

Before Father Xu could answer, Lu Xiaoxian on the side smiled and preemptively said, "Of course it's Chang Tou!" ”

"Why?"

"Because Mu Gongzi is here, he will definitely be able to win!" When he said this, Lu Xiaoxian looked at Mu Qianren with a smile.

Lu Yuxiao was inexplicable, glanced at Mu Qianren, and asked, "What does this have to do with Brother Mu!" ”

"Of course it does!" Father Xu looked appreciative and said with a smile: "Although Mu Ye has only been a chicken herd for more than two months, those cockfighting cocks are all very different from the past, I dare to guarantee that Mu Ye is the best chicken herd in Youzhou City." Therefore, there is no doubt that the head will win. ”

After hearing Father Xu's words, Lu Wuji and Lu Yuxiao knew Mu Qianren's identity.

No wonder Mu Qianren promised to exempt them from the 300 yuan for watching cockfighting, no wonder Father Xu and Miss Xiaozhen were so polite to him, it turned out that Mu Qianren was a subordinate of Chang Tou, and he was a chicken herd who was specially tamed for Chang Dou.

Lu Yuxiao looked at Mu Qianren with envy: "Where did Brother Mu learn the skill of taming chickens?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian said on the side: "Mu Gongzi's family used to raise a lot of fighting cocks, and he learned from those chicken herders!" ”
