Chapter 444: Light a fire
"The ancients, the sincere, the way of heaven, the sincere, the way of man, since the time of the crown, cousin Gongsun can no longer sophistry with youth and ignorance, dare to ask the young master, is it natural to repay debts?"
Lu Peng waited for so long, and finally caught a great opportunity to backstab Gongsun Cheng, doesn't the other party value face the most, then he will focus on this aspect.
"Young Master Gongsun, your sister has borrowed nine hundred and seventy taels of silver from me, and it has been overdue for half a month so far, you see, this account?"
"Young Master Gongsun, please give an explanation for the matter of returning to the Crane Tower that day."
"Gongsun Cheng! Lao Tzu's eye was injured by that little demon girl because of you, what do you say!"
The people who rushed in were not lively, Gongsun Cheng was surrounded by a group of people, and his face turned green.
Among this group of people, the few account offices that asked for money were still very good, after all, they didn't look at the face of the monk and looked at the face of the Buddha, and the face of the Gongsun family wanted to be given, as long as they took the money, they would leave immediately.
It's hard to say about the rest of the people, and there are already a few people who are hot-tempered and want to do it.
Seeing this situation, Lu Hanjiang, as Gongsun Cheng's close friend and confidant brother, of course he couldn't sit idly by at this time, he immediately stood up and raised the dog beating stick is shouting: "Presumptuous! What are you, dare to go wild here! All the disciples listened to the order and formed a formation!"
The gang leader gave an order, and the disciples under his command stood up one after another, although this group of Jinyi guards who pretended to be disciples of the beggar gang did not know any dog fighting formation at all, but after picking up the stick, they were all murderous and awe-inspiring, and the power was much stronger than the dog fighting formation.
The group of Jianghu people were frightened, and one of them had the courage to ask, "Could it be that the leader of the beggar gang wants to help the abuse!" Do you bully us with more people and fewer of us?"
"Joke, this son is bullying you, what's the matter, if you have the ability, you can do it."
Lu Hanjiang's words successfully dispelled the fear in the hearts of this group of people, and they didn't fight for steamed buns, they all shouted for a fight as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
But Lu Hanjiang ignored it completely, he strode to Gongsun Cheng's side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Brother Xian, I will handle this matter."
"Brother Lu, thank you." Gongsun Cheng said movingly, his tone was a little choked, but in the next second, Lu Hanjiang's actions surprised him.
I saw Lu Hanjiang wave his big hand, beckoning a group of disciples to gather around the human wall to stop in front, and then pointed at these beggar disciples and said, "Look."
Everyone was confused, not understanding what Lu Hanjiang meant by this move, until a sharp-eyed person in the crowd suddenly exclaimed, pointed at one of the beggar gang disciples and said in disbelief, "That's the 'Hundred Flowers and Colorful Cloud Stick'! My proprietor sold it for a hundred and fifty taels."
"This, this is the material of Silk Cloud Village, this quality, so exquisite, let alone dozens of taels of silver."
"And the Pisces jade pendant this person carried! That's worth a hundred taels!"
Everyone, you say a word, and finally I was surprised to find that the group of beggar disciples in front of me is simply outrageous, where is this beggar, who is the son of the family who came out to travel the rivers and lakes, everyone firmly believes it.
Among the various sects in the rivers and lakes, the best personal treatment for the disciples is Wudang, and the average daily usage of a Wudang disciple is three to five times that of a disciple of the same class.
Before Lu Hanjiang reformed the idea of the beggar gang, the use of about a hundred beggar disciples was almost equivalent to that of a Wudang disciple.
And after he vigorously reformed his thinking, everyone followed him to be happy day by day, so the cost of the beggars to help the disciples also chased after him, reaching one-third of the Wudang disciples.
This is already an extremely terrifying increase, this alone has completely collapsed the finances of the beggar gang, but now the wealth shown by this group of beggar gang disciples is absolutely no problem for one person to top ten Wudang disciples.
Although everyone was shocked, they still didn't understand what Lu Hanjiang meant, so they only listened to him smile disdainfully, and then said: "You group of people, you are asking for accounts, and you are ***, to put it bluntly, you are here to cry poor with the young master of Gongsun, today my son said bluntly, see clearly, the use of these disciples is all contracted by the young master of Gongsun."
"What do you say?
What?!"
Everyone was shocked, but they were not shocked that Gongsun Cheng had generously contracted the use of the beggar gang disciples, but they were shocked that he was obviously rich, but he was still pretending to be poor to avoid them!
"Who just said that my virtuous brother has no money? Joke! Look at it clearly, does this look like the work of people who don't have money?" Lu Hanjiang didn't pay any attention to Gongsun Cheng, whose face was green, and still kept shouting.
Everyone was stunned when they heard it, right, when did they say that Gongsun Cheng had no money? They're obviously here!
Another person walked out of the crowd, arched his hand to Lu Hanjiang, and said in a slightly slower tone: "Gang Master Lu, please listen to the next word, we will help Gongsun Cheng catch the little demon girl, but now that the benefits and reputation have been taken by him alone, we have been used as bait and gunman by him, what should we say about this matter?"
Gongsun Cheng hurriedly said, "No, I didn't think like that at all, I actually—"
"Virtuous brothers don't have to talk nonsense with them."
Lu Hanjiang interrupted Gongsun Cheng's explanation and said for him: "Even if this is the case, so what, everyone is a righteous knight, why bother to distinguish between you and me, besides, what kind of identity is my virtuous brother, it is your honor to be a bait for him, if you are not grateful to Dade, just say thank you, and dare to come to ask for justice, I don't know what to do."
When everyone heard this, they were even more furious, and another person stood up and scolded angrily: "What nonsense! Gongsun Cheng used us as a stepping stone for him to gain fame, and used the trap to harm him, which is shameless! This kind of ugly thing was said by your Lu Gang Master so high-sounding, is there still a royal law here!"
Hearing this, Lu Hanjiang was suddenly stunned, his eyes were full of sarcasm, and he said surgingly: "Why, you, a person from the rivers and lakes, still want to talk about the king's law with my son?"
"Whew! There is no royal law, and there is no heavenly reason! Lu Seventeen! Gongsun Cheng! I just don't accept it!" The man rolled up his sleeves and seemed to be about to make a move.
Lu Hanjiang shrugged his shoulders even more indifferently: "You people, small belly chicken intestines, putting aside the facts, aren't you a little wrong?"
As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent, and after the strange silence, they shouted and scolded even more fiercely: "Lao Tzu can't bear it! Brothers, can you bear the humiliation of these fellows who treat us as ants?"
"I can't bear it! Fight with them!"
"Fight! Fight it!"
The crowd was excited, and seeing that the situation was about to open, Lu Hanjiang stepped back a lot, and added: "It's so courageous, but this is the territory of the Gongsun family, do you still dare to do it here?"
"Why don't you dare!"
was provoked by Lu Hanjiang, and the man immediately punched the Gongsun clan who was watching on the side, and the man was caught off guard and was knocked to the ground by this man's punch, and the scene was even more out of control.
It is impossible for the people of the Gongsun family to be beaten and not fight back, so the two sides fought together, Lu Hanjiang made a gesture, and the beggar disciples retreated one after another and began to fish in the water, and from time to time they were still picking black sticks in the crowd.
Lu Peng was anxious as soon as he saw this posture, where was this miscellaneous Jianghu man who was the opponent of the beggar gang disciples, he was about to help without saying a word, but he was quickly stopped by the attendant beside him.
"What are you stopping me from doing? At this time, if you don't help beat Gongsun Cheng to death with a stick, you won't have a chance." Lu Peng said urgently.
"Childe is a little restless," the attendant dissuaded in a low voice, "It's best if we don't make a move at this moment, let this group of people make trouble, they fall out, and Gongsun Cheng's reputation will be completely over."
