Chapter 40: The Butcher of the Year (I)
Looking down from the roof of the Ding District, you can see countless crowds crowded, and a sea of people has really formed, and everyone is talking about it, they don't know what happened, but it does not prevent them from making some perceptual conjectures.
But guess at heart, the people of the shack area did not have the courage to climb over the wall and go in to find out.
This is the establishment of the Ding District, no, it is the first time since the establishment of the Silver Cross Academy that someone has kicked the door of a large district, Zong Xi is not a taste in his heart, and he can be regarded as a famous person in history, but compared to this, he now regrets why he just made that move, although it was Lu Yi who ordered him to do it, but if something really happens, he will have to take the blame himself.
Gradually, those scattered inspectors of the School Management Committee also gathered in the courtyard, and Zong Xi saw these old subordinates of his own, and felt a little relieved, as long as people got together, those people in District Ding would not be able to make any waves.
Lu Yi didn't go upstairs, and in the end he didn't really set up a table in the courtyard, but chose to be in a conference room on the first floor of the teaching building.
Lu Yi took Zong Xi into the conference room, now there is only one long table in this conference room, and at the top is a person wearing a cloak, because of the distance and light problems, the person's face cannot be seen clearly, and there are eight people sitting separately on both sides of the long table.
Seeing Lu Yi and Zong Xi coming in, everyone stood up, smiled at him quite reluctantly, and bowed.
Lu Yi unceremoniously walked to his seat and sat down, smiling at everyone, "Everyone, please take a seat." β
Everyone sat down in a nervous mood, and Zong Xi found a chair by himself and sat behind Lu Yi.
At this time, the person sitting at the top spoke, and to Lu's surprise, the voice of the figure was actually a female voice: "Lord Lu and Master Zong came in person, I don't know what business they do?"
Lu Yi was not in a hurry to answer the question, but smiled faintly and said, "Please let this young lady show her face first." β
Hearing this, everyone sitting on both sides looked at the woman at the top of the head, and from the reactions of these people, Lu Yi could see that the woman sitting at the top still had a very high prestige in the Ding District.
The woman didn't react irrationally, she raised her head directly, and pulled the cap of the cloak slightly, revealing her face.
Seeing the face revealed, it was not as amazing as Lu Yi expected, the woman's appearance could not be described as ordinary, but very natural, just like seeing the patterns on the shell, not to mention beautiful, but the natural appearance without powder was still pleasing to the eye.
Agnes, Ramses, Utsemary, and Lu Yi have already seen a lot of beautiful women, although Yuan Xuan and Lin Xia are not as good as the first three, but they will not be worse than the one in front of them, and after the baptism of Zhou Tai's shocking beauty, the appearance of this cloak woman will no longer make his heart fluctuate.
"Chinese?"
"Yes. The woman spoke again, her voice soft, as if a ball of glutinous rice was in her mouth: "Is Lord Lu satisfied?"
"Yes, satisfied. Lu Yi picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, he believed that these people would not do anything to poison the teacup.
"So, can Lord Lu answer the question just now?" asked the cloak woman with a quiet smile, neither humble nor arrogant.
Lu Yi seemed to be interested, and said with a smile: "Miss, dare to ask Fang's name." β
"Yan Jiao. β
"Corner of the eye?" Although Lu Yi knew that the name was definitely not these two words, the pronunciation was indeed exactly the same, and he asked, "So, Miss Yan, were you questioning me just now?"
"Don't dare. Yan Jiao, who was wearing a cloak, lowered his head slightly, hid his face under the cloak again, and his tone was still the same: "Lord Lu should have heard about the situation here before he came, how dare I question you." β
"I just kicked and broke your door, don't you think I'm unreasonable?" Lu Yi smiled faintly and said, "Are you angry?"
Yan Jiao pursed his lips with great difficulty, and said, "Lord Lu asked Master Zong to kick the courtyard gate because the porter was not careful and offended you, which is not unreasonable. β
"Oh, it's not unreasonable, it makes sense. Lu Yi smiled and nodded in agreement: "Then if this matter goes to the principal, please also ask Miss Yan to be a witness." β
Yan Jiao was suspicious at first, but after thinking of the angry Teacher Cheng, he still believed that there was indeed such a possibility, Cheng Ziwu's stubbornness was well-known in the school, and he didn't know what he had quarreled with the principal for a long time, and after being blasted out of the office building by the principal, he picked up a stone and smashed the glass in the office like a madman.
Cheng Ziwu has already threatened to go to the principal to complain today, so this matter is really not a fantasy.
Yan Jiao was silent, if this was the case, could it be that he really wanted to prove it for Lu Yi?
Lu Yi didn't give Yan Jiao much time to think about it, and said with an indifferent expression: "Miss Yan, it's better not to think about it for too long. β
Yan Jiao didn't understand why this Lord Lu Yi, who met for the first time, was so hostile to herself, she quietly glanced at Lu Yi a few times, thinking that she didn't look like that kind of strict person when she looked at her face, why did she do things so tightly and didn't leave a way out.
Not only did Guang Yan Jiao not figure it out, but Zong Xi, who was behind Lu Yi, couldn't figure it out, before he came this morning, Minister Burian clearly said to himself that this Mr. Lu is a very kind person, and it is not difficult to get along with, so let yourself not be too nervous or have any resistance.
Lu Yi is kind and kind, Zong Xi didn't see it at all, and the current Lu Yi was completely a son-in-law who used the energy of the school management committee to make a fortune and power in the Ding District.
District D is a large area with the highest degree of autonomy in the college, and there are no other management personnel except for teachers, so the school management committee usually does not have much contact with the people in District D in addition to regular inspections, and it can be regarded as peaceful.
Everything Lu Yi has done now will definitely have a very bad impact on the relationship between the School Management Council and District Ding, Zong Xi looked at Lu Yi's back, and weighed it in his heart, even if he has absolute trust in the decision of the chairman, he will inevitably have resistance, not to mention that he is still a human being, and it took him a long time to make his subordinates accept this fact, but Lu Yi's performance so far is naΓ―ve and impulsive, and he does things completely by his own momentary likes and dislikes, such a person obviously can't afford the position of team leader.
Lu Yi didn't have long eyes in the back of his head, nor did he have mind reading skills, he didn't know that Zong Xi behind him had an extremely bad evaluation of his behavior just now, he leaned forward slightly, and put one hand on the table, giving huge pressure to everyone sitting in front of him: "Miss Yan, it's almost." β
Yan Jiao raised his head, as if he had accepted his fate, and waved his hand to the man sitting under him, seeing Yan Jiao's action, the faces of all the people in the Ding District sitting at the table changed, either sad, unwilling, or hesitant.
The man took out a package from the cabinet behind him and put it in front of Lu Yi.
Lu Yi opened the package in front of everyone without the slightest vigilance, and it was full of piles of old banknotes, but the patterns were a little miscellaneous, with everything in dollars, euros, and pounds.
Lu Yi closed the package, crossed Erlang's legs and said, "Miss Yan, is this your answer?"
"Yes. Yan Jiao bowed her head again.
"Zongxi. Lu Yi leaned back in his chair and greeted without looking back.
Zong Xi immediately stood up and said, "Yes." β
Lu Yi raised his chin lightly, pointed to the package on the table and said, "Put it away." β
Zong Xi was stunned and said, "Team leader......"
"Put it away, it's an order. β
Zong Xi snapped a straight upright, and refused Lu Yi's order for the first time: "Report to the team leader, the school management will have rules, and my subordinates can't implement them." β
Lu Yi slapped the table like Yuan Han did when he was angry, and shouted: "I told you to take it, you will take it, and if you break the rules, I will go to see the chairman later." β
Zong Xi straightened up and didn't move.
Lu Yi nodded heavily, his eyes wandered, he didn't continue to persecute, and softened his tone and said, "Sit back." β
Zong Xi looked calm and sat back.
Lu Yi took down the package on the table and put it at his feet, since Zong Xi refused, then just take it himself.
Yan Jiao bowed and said, "Lord Lu is still satisfied?"
Lu Yi held his left hand in front of his chest, and his right index finger tapped the table in a rhythmic manner, deliberately embarrassed: "It's a little less interesting." β
Yan Jiao's voice couldn't hear any emotion: "Lord Lu, please make it clear." β
"That's right. Lu Yi crossed his hands, put them on the table, and said with some embarrassment: "I didn't bring any servants here this time." β
This time, it wasn't just these people from the Ding District, even Zongxi couldn't stand it anymore, and reminded him: "Team leader......"
"You're just the deputy team leader, and you don't have the right to speak. Lu Yi directly blocked what Zong Xi wanted to say.
Yan Jiao's hands were pinched fiercely in the cloak, his joints were white, his nails were in the flesh, and he tried to say in a calm tone: "Xiao Longtao, gather the girls under the age of eighteen outside, and wait for Lord Lu to choose." β
Xiao Longtao was the man who delivered the package earlier, and at this time he was trying his best to restrain his emotions, without saying a word, turning his head and walking out the door.
"Don't, don't, Miss Yan, I didn't mean that. Lu Yi stopped the man.
Isn't that what does that mean? Everyone's expressions eased slightly, and this Lord Lu didn't seem to be so excessive.
"What does Master Lu mean?" The tension in Yan Jiao's voice also dissipated a lot, and the soft and glutinous feeling was restored.
"This money should be collected by you from the shack area, and now people also want it from the shack area?" Lu Yi still kept smiling, although he still smiled harmlessly, but his current smile made everyone feel a chill down their spines, and he said in a very indifferent tone: "I mean, I want to invite Miss Yan to live with me for a while." β
There was a sound of tables and chairs colliding, except for Lu Yi and Yan Jiao, everyone stood up from their positions and stared at Lu Yi with murderous eyes, including Zong Xi behind Lu Yi.
This guy is so bold that he wants to bring back their recognized leader as a servant on someone else's territory, in front of all the leaders of the Ding District? This is not arrogance, but stupidity.
At this time, Zong Xi not only regretted why he listened to Lu Yi at that time and kicked down the door of the Ding District, but also tolerated Lu Yi's words and deeds to the limit, he had seen countless children of those big families, but none of them exercised such absurdity as Lu Yi, recruiting this kind of person into the school management committee is simply the black sheep in the school management committee, even if it is an order issued by the chairman himself, he has no intention of abiding by it anymore.
Lu Yi was calm in the face of so many gazes, just looking at Yan Jiao, who was sitting opposite him, with a playful smile.
After a stalemate for a long time, Yan Jiao also stood up and looked at Lu Yi, his face was as cold as frost and said, "Mr. Lu Yi, you can't help but deceive people too much. β
Lu Yi did not consciously become the target of the public at all, but looked at everyone with admiration and said, "It seems that you are not unable to fight back and scold and not fight back." β
None of the people carefully understood the meaning of Lu Yi's words, just stared at him, just waiting for Yan Jiao's order, no matter whether he could fight or not, even if he gave his life here today, he would not let this hateful man walk out of the conference room.
At this time, no one can keep calm, and Xiao Longtao is too, he has long been extremely disgusted with the face of the person in front of him, not to mention that he just insulted Lord Yan Jiao, who is very respected by all the people in the Ding District, this kind of anger cannot be suppressed no matter what.
Lu Yi, no matter who you are, I will bite you a piece of meat if I break my teeth today.
Lu Yi...... Lu Yi, Xiao Longtao silently said twice in his heart, he seemed to have heard this name somewhere; Lu Yi, is he? No, impossible? Xiao Longtao's memory of the past made him shudder, and he was no longer carried away by anger, and regained some of his senses.
What if it's really that person?
Xiao Longtao knew that this was not the time for him to speak, but with great curiosity in his heart, he still spoke: "Lord Lu...... Is it Chinese?"
No one thought that Xiao Longtao would suddenly say such a sentence at this juncture, and everyone's eyes instantly turned to him.
Lu Yi was stunned and subconsciously replied, "Yes." β
Xiao Longtao faced everyone's gaze, his voice trembled and he continued to ask, "Lord Lu is a human being?"
Lu Yi replied, "Yes." β
Human beings' eyes were once again focused on Lu Yi, and while they were shocked, everyone also understood Lu Yi's identity, no wonder the person from the inner courtyard was so arrogant.
However, this identity is not enough to calm the anger of the public, what about the people in the inner court, a human dares to rush into a large area like this and insult its leader, no matter what the headmaster says, he is also a monster, how can he be on the side of the humans.
After a brief hesitation, the crowd made up their minds again.
Xiao Longtao didn't look at these people, and spoke again with a trembling voice: "That...... Lord Lu lives in Fenghu County?"
This time it was Lu Yi's turn to be surprised, even Lin Xia didn't know his origin, and he had always been the primary target of the major families' investigations, but no one had been able to find out so far, why was he being told by a little-known person in the Ding District today?
"Yes. Lu Yi replied with a scalp, whether it is a blessing or a curse, if you really find out about the family, uncle, you can solve it yourself.
Hearing Lu Yi's answer, Xiao Longtao even breathed with a trill, everyone could see it, and Xiao Longtao's face turned into a blank sheet of paper at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Xiao Longtao looked at Lu Yi as if he was looking at the most ferocious demon in hell, let out a strange scream and curled up in the corner, pointing at Lu Yi as if he was insane and chattering.
"Long Tao!"
"Long Tao, what's wrong with you?"
A big man saw Xiao Longtao shrinking in the corner as if he had been hit by an evil spirit, and shouted at Lu Yi: "You guy, what kind of magic have you cast?"
Lu Yi is also very inexplicable.
He ...... He...... He ....... "Xiao Longtao pointed at Lu Yi with his finger and couldn't say a complete sentence.
"Long Tao, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Yan Jiao squatted in front of Xiao Longtao, and his hand comforted him softly.
Yan Jiao's voice was already very glutinous, but at this time she slowed down her speech, like adding a spoonful of rock sugar to glutinous rice, and her sweet voice was the most soothing.
Xiao Longtao listened to Yan Jiao's voice, cried directly, held back his tears, pointed at Lu Yi and said intermittently: "He...... He's the ...... Lu butcher by Fenghu Lake. β
After Xiao Longtao said this, he collapsed directly, and the seven-foot man cried loudly.
Hearing Xiao Longtao's words, the first to react were the men who looked like yellow people, their reactions were very similar to Xiao Longtao's, their faces turned pale in an instant, and they hurriedly distanced themselves from Lu Yi, but they didn't fall to the ground with weak legs, they just supported each other, and their eyes only left pure fear when they looked at Lu Yi.
In the face of this sudden change, the other non-Asians had no idea what was going on, and looked at each other a few times, not understanding why everyone was suddenly so afraid of this human.
"This ...... What's going on?" asked a white blonde man.
"This guy...... This guy is the biggest butcher in the whole of China, no, all of Asia, and probably the whole world. The big man who yelled at Lu Yi earlier had long since lost the momentum he had just had, and he gasped violently as if he had just experienced the aftermath of a catastrophe, and said to the man: "This guy, once killed more than 200 members of Long Tao's family in one night, both old and young, and Long Tao was the only one alive. β
More than 200 people were exterminated in one night?
Those non-Asians also realized the horror of the young man in front of them from Dahan's words, looked at Lu Yi vigilantly, moved his steps, and formed a situation of encirclement.
Lu Yi looked at these people in front of him, and then at Xiao Longtao who was huddled in the corner, he didn't know what they were talking about, in fact, to be precise, he didn't know which time these people were talking about.
This period of history is Lu Yi's most secret thing, and only the uncle and himself have always known about it. There have been countless times when Lu Yi has carried a knife into a room, a courtyard, and a building according to his uncle's request.
The night when he killed 200 people? Lu Yi can't remember clearly, there were countless nights when he used to cut off one head after another with a knife in his hand, until his consciousness was numb, and his arm was so tired that it seemed to be broken, but he still kept chopping, and under his knife, there were teenagers, dozens of middle-aged people, gray-haired old people, and babies waiting to be fed.
No matter who he faced, the cold steel knife in his hand would not show the slightest mercy, until he killed himself and his whole body was stained red with blood, the stinking blood soaked through his clothes, glued his underwear to his skin, and after the blood coagulated, his clothes were clattered, and the blood gathered into a stream of blood, piled up into a hill of heads, and the internal organs and limbs all over the ground formed a human purgatory under the moonlight.
As for the only living mouth, Lu Yi looked at Xiao Longtao, who was emotionally broken, when did he keep this living mouth?
