277 The dark tide is surging, and the words are sure that the meaning is hidden
readx;?β Why didn't Luo Tian Shangmeng continue his previous practice, but act so drastically now?" Yue Tian couldn't let go of this matter, but he was wrongfully imprisoned and tortured for a while. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"We can't figure this out. Lu Zhanfeng took a mouth. I've analyzed it before, but how can outsiders know about it?
"There is another special feature of the Town Guard Dart League, that is, except for the first two or three times of the dart, the dart they protect has never been robbed since then. β
"Isn't this strange, isn't there no one in your Lu Yuan Dart Bureau?" Yue Tian said.
"Originally, there were some rules that were inconvenient to disclose to outsiders, but in order to let Brother Wanfeng really understand, I will tell you about it, but you must keep it secret after you know it, and you can't pass it on to others. β
After Lu Zhenyuan finished speaking, he glanced at it, and saw that everyone including Yue Kong nodded before he spoke:
"If you rely on killing all the way through, how many people will not be enough to fill it. Therefore, we will have a fixed dart route and send some salutes to the bandits along the route. This way, the bandits won't trouble us when they see our flags. But we can't do anything about the bandits who are running around committing crimes. Bandits don't care about their lives more than bandits, they don't have mountains and no worries. If you meet a large number of people, we will try to make peace if you can talk to us. β
Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of tea, let the audience digest the information just now, Lu Zhenyuan continued:
"However, we have recently learned that the Guards have never sent salutes to the bandits from all over the world, and the bandits have not bothered them. The most important thing is that none of the bandits in the south have ever been the guards of the town!"
Lu Zhenyuan's expression became serious: "Maybe you don't know the problem. Do you think that there are no bandits in the south? The bandits on the way back to their hometowns this time came from Beihuzhou. And the Zhenwei Dart League traveled all over the south, how could it not be touched once? And other dart games would run into it? The most important thing is that many small and medium-sized family forces that do not invite the dart bureau to escort themselves, as long as their goods are not cooperated with the Luo Tian Shang Alliance, they have the experience of being bandits*. β
Seeing that the people of the Yue family were moved when they heard this, Lu Zhenyuan knew that his words had an effect.
So I found the people who had been robbed through my friends in the rivers and lakes, and I happened to find out the news that might be related to this gang of bandits. To tell you the truth, many people in the south who have been * have some martial arts relations, and they have also secretly investigated and hunted down those bandits, but unfortunately there are no results. After I told them about Yue Tian's incident last time and this time's incident, they also asked me to join their temporary anti-bandit alliance. This anti-bandit alliance has been joined by different figures such as merchants, family forces, dart bureaus, and decent martial arts people. After discussing it together, everyone agreed that there was probably a connection between the seizure of the Yue family's property and the incident of the bandits* returning to their hometown. β
"Brother Lu means that the Luo Tian Business Alliance, the Zhenwei Dart Alliance, and the Bandits may be secretly related?" Yue Wanfeng's business acumen is not only for business, but he quickly understood.
"But. The money we brought back to our hometown was only the income from the sale of some real estate in Guanzhou City, which was not huge, and they came all the way over, was it worth it?" Yue Tian didn't quite understand.
"I also thought about what my nephew said, but after taking a trip to the south this time and listening to the analysis of some people in the Bandit Eradication Alliance, I also felt that it was possible. One is a warning to others, and the other is that the relationship between the Yue family is still there, and no one can guarantee that they will not be able to make a comeback. β
"Killing chickens and making an example of monkeys?" Yue Yun blurted out. said the words that Lu Zhenyuan didn't say.
"There is another thing to ask what Brother Wanfeng means. It is the bandit elimination alliance that intends to unite the relationship between commerce, dart bureau, and martial arts, and secretly form an alliance to fight against the Luo Tian Business Alliance and get back their own things. The main ones are those merchants and families who have been occupied by the Luo Tian Business Alliance, as well as the dart game and decent people in the martial arts who have already felt threatened. They hope that Wanfeng Xiandi will also join in, there is no limit to the amount of funds, and the important thing is the relationship and channel and experience in the hands of each family. β
"Uncle Lu, our Yue family will not join, and now we are living well in the countryside, although we are not as rich as before, but it is much better than ordinary people. We can also be considered a big player here. It's too treacherous out there, so it's better to be safe and secure here. β
Yue Kong suddenly interjected, he didn't want his father or eldest brother to want to join.
"Why don't you join! That's Dad's hard-earned family property, but it's going to be cheaper for nothing. Now if we want to get back what belongs to us, why not!" Yue Yun immediately objected to Yue Kong's proposal. He felt strange to this stupid brother who had suddenly become stronger.
"What if it happens again that night? If they come and leave the mountain that day, will you still be alive? Even if you don't have to count, put a few fires and take advantage of the chaos to attack you again, can I handle it?"
Yue Kong's words made the faces of the Yue family turn white, and Yue Cai was a little trembling with fear.
Lu Zhenyuan immediately knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What happened at night? Brother Wanfeng, what happened?"
Yue Wanfeng looked at Lu Zhenyuan and then at Yue Kong, Yue Kong saw his father looking at him, so he said:
"A few days ago, a few killers with strong martial arts came and wanted to sneak in, and I found out and chased them out. The rest of them fled faster, and I chased them until the next day. The killers didn't wait for me to ask, and all of them committed suicide. I don't know why. It is estimated that it is either related to the Luo Tian Business Alliance, or related to that gang of bandits. β
"What? and such a thing!" Lu Zhenyuan was taken aback.
Hearing no response, Lu Zhenyuan was not annoyed, and asked again: "Can you tell me how the martial arts of those killers are better than that bandit leader." β
"It's only high, not low, and the leader can already release his sword energy. β
"Can you release the sword qi? That's not a nameless person. I wonder if you can describe the opponent's moves?"
"Like a scimitar, like a silver moon. β
"Like a scimitar like a silver moon, the rivers and lakes can use similar knife techniques, as far as I know, there is a silver moon scimitar Hui Huihui, is a woman. There is also the meniscus Luo Cheng, which is the scimitar successor, making a scimitar. There is also a person in the evil way, called the Demon Moon Scimitar. are all famous figures in martial arts, and they shouldn't be killers. β
"Father, isn't there another Moon Eclipse Demon Knife?" Lu Zhanfeng added.
"The Moon Eclipse Demon Knife, that's actually just a legend, so I didn't mention it. Legend has it that a hundred years ago, there was a master of the Demon Gate, and his Moon Eclipse Demon Knife Knife Technique was invincible in the world. Later, he was surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court and decent masters, but he did not hear that he had a successor. Since his death, I have not heard of a successor, but because of his martial arts in that year, it is still legendary. β
"So we don't want to put our families in danger anymore, money is actually outside the body, and people's safety and health are the most important things. Please be considerate of Uncle Lu. β
"However, they did not succeed this time, and it will be more intense next time, and you are not more dangerous here. β
Lu Zhanfeng's words made the hearts of the Yue family tighten again.
Yue Kong said: "Where is there a truly safe place in life? But here, at least one of our attitudes is expressed. With an attitude, there is a possibility of negotiation. If the other party doesn't care so much, when robbing the road, he can just shoot a volley of arrows before slashing and killing it, so why bother to compete with Brother Zhanfeng. If it's too insidious and unscrupulous, poisoning or something is the simplest. Therefore, life and death are impermanent, our attitude is that we admit defeat, we quit, please don't rush to kill. β
Yue Kong's words made Yue Wanfeng and Yue Tian think deeply, but Yue Yun was unwilling, and Yue Cai was more scared, sometimes bowing his head and sometimes looking at everyone.
The two sides also chatted for a long time, needless to say about the dinner, Lu Zhenyuan, Lu Zhanfeng and the people from the dart bureau stayed at Yue's house and left the next morning. The Yue family's mansion still has a lot of customers.
In the study, Yue Wanfeng, Yue Tian, Yue Yun, and Yue Kong sat together to discuss.
"Fourth brother, why don't you support taking back our things? As you said, it's not safe here, and we'll all die if people set fire to poison us. It's better to go out and fight with them, it's all death anyway. Yue Yun's tone was reproachful.
Seeing that his father and eldest brother didn't make a sound, Yue Kong had no choice but to speak:
"Second brother, no matter what, except for the people of the Yue family, the rest of the people are not among my trust. β
"What, what do you mean?" Yue Yun didn't understand.
"Do you suspect Uncle Lu and them? Why?" Yue Tian was also surprised.
"Your Uncle Lu and I have been working together for decades, so you shouldn't doubt them. And what good will they do if they are against us?"
"Father, eldest brother, second brother, I don't have to doubt Uncle Lu and them, but I only trust my own family at present. This is not the same thing as distrust, and doubt. It can't be black and white. Besides, there are still some doubts about the matter of the eldest brother at the beginning. β
"What's the problem?" Yue Tian hurriedly asked.
"When did the people from the dart bureau come to check after the people from the dart bureau left? And they came not long after they left? If the people from the government came earlier, would the people from the dart bureau not be able to get out of the way? If the people from the government came later, would the big brother probably find a problem when unloading and counting the goods?"
Yue Wanfeng's face became solemn after hearing this, and Yue Tian and Yue Yun also frowned.
The question raised by Yue Kong was not that he hadn't thought about it, but because of his trust in Lu Yuan's dart game, he didn't think about them at all. And after Lu Zhenyuan knew the information, he also rushed to Hanbei City with Yue Wanfeng to deal with it, which can be said to be his best.
"It wasn't the Lu family who was betting that time, it was the other dart masters in the dart game. The dart head is a dart master who broke through the dart with your Uncle Lu in the early years, and I also know each other. β
"What about the others?" asked Yue Yun.
"The other dart masters are also acquaintances and familiar faces, and there are no novices. β
Yue Tian replied that he had always thought that he was a traitor in his firm. Later, after Luo Tianshang Alliance took over the Yue family's industry, most of the original personnel did not leave from large to small. Only a very small number of particularly faithful people are not accustomed to leaving and fending for their own way.
So although we know that we have been falsely accused, we do not know who did it. Whether it's our own or the dart game's side. Isn't that right?"
It was, but no one nodded.
"Why didn't you say it at the time, your family is like that, you are still pretending to be stupid, if you come out earlier, wouldn't it be good?" Yue Yun became angry.
"What if I come out? If my eldest brother is really going to be beheaded, I will definitely go. But even if we really rob the prison, what will happen to our family? Since some people are jealous of our family, we should give up. Dad worked so hard, should my eldest brother have to work so hard in the future? Money can't be earned. Although we lost our industry, the money we have accumulated over the years is still enough for us. The fields, mansions, and houses in the countryside are still there, and the days of small wealth and stability in the future will be enough. Money can buy life, it's already good. β
"Forget it, stop arguing. Yue Yun, if it was before, I would really be unwilling. But when I finally went to prison and saw your eldest brother, my heart broke. I've worked so hard to see it, but I don't want to glorify my ancestors. But if the people are gone, what are you talking about becoming a gate family? Although I have lost my inheritance, I will be relieved to be able to exchange for your eldest brother's life. β
Looking at Yue Yun's eyes, there was unwillingness, and Yue Wanfeng said ruthlessly: "Yun'er, your father won't stop you, but your father doesn't want you to gain fame in the future." β
"Why!Dad!" Yue Yun jumped up; "Didn't you encourage me to read good books, get a good reputation, and be a good official?"
"Yun'er, sit down. Yue Wanfeng closed his eyes, but he still couldn't hold back the tears and poured out.
"Dad-" Seeing Yue Wanfeng crying, Yue Tian and Yue Yun hurriedly called out to their father.
"Yun'erβ" Yue Wanfeng waved his hand to show that it didn't matter: "Dad doesn't want to." But your brother is right, officialdom is darker than shopping malls. This Luo Tian Business Alliance is so big, it is not easy to monopolize the south and obtain the support of so many officials in the south. It is impossible for the imperial court not to know, I am afraid that the officialdom will be bloody in the future. Coupled with the turbulence of the dark tide on the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that the outside world will be stormy in the future, and chaos is inevitable. That's why I agreed with Kong'er and didn't go out anymore. β
Yue Wanfeng can make such a big business since he was a child, and his vision must be different. I lost my sense of proportion because of Yue Tian's affairs before, but now I can see some clues.
"As the saying goes, the strong come first. In the future, you have to pay more attention to the affairs of your family. Basically, everyone should take the opinions of empty children first. β
Yue Wanfeng looked at his three sons.
