To be honest, Zhang Xiaoluo and Qin Ren were a little panicked.

After hearing Bao Duomei's words, the two knew that Lu Jiu was a very dangerous person and his emotions would explode at any time. Maybe they would beat them up.

"eat."

Lu Jiu's voice was mediocre, pointing to the meal in front of the two of them.

The two looked at each other, what should we do? Then eat!

Zhang Xiaoluo got up the chopsticks first, and Qin Ren also moved the chopsticks.

Everyone's eyes fell on the three of them, because Lu Jiu was also a stolen figure in the Sword Sect.

No one knows what Lu Jiu is going to do.

"Master asked me to ask you if you would like to become a disciple." Lu Jiu asked after swallowing a mouthful of the meal.

A smell of alcohol came to my face, and Zhang Xiaoluo and Qin Ren couldn't help pinching their noses.

Master? What kind of master? The two of them didn’t know who Lu Jiu’s master was.

However, according to Bai Yingzhuo, the senior deacon who brought them into the Hunyuan World, it is best to choose a master to become a disciple.

According to the "free-stocking" model of the Sword Sect, it is indeed necessary to provide guidance from a master, otherwise there will be no place to solve the problem when encountering problems.

However, they didn't know who Lu Jiu's master was, nor did they know whether it was powerful or not.

As a disciple, of course I want to find a more powerful master.

"Senior brother, please allow us to consider it." After a moment, Zhang Xiaoluo said.

Lu Jiu didn't say anything, but got up and left, and only ate two bites of food.

Zhang Xiaoluo and Qin Ren looked at each other again, feeling that what happened today was really strange.

"Damn! You actually rejected Senior Brother Jiu's invitation? Do you know who Senior Brother Jiu's master is?"

At this moment, Bao Duomei, who had already left, returned.

"Who is it?" Zhang Xiaoluo looked puzzled.

"The master of Senior Brother Jiu is Yu Bailing, the sword saint of the world!" Bao Duomu said excitedly.

"What?" Zhang Xiaoluo and Qin Ren could no longer sit still. Who has never heard of the legendary story of the sword saint Yu Bailing?

But they never expected that Lu Jiu's master was Yu Bailing!

They seemed to have missed a huge opportunity!

The two of them hurriedly chased out, but Lu Jiu was gone.

"Where is Senior Brother Jiu usually?"

Zhang Xiaoluo asked as he looked at Bao Duomu who followed him out.

"It's hard to say, Senior Brother Ninth is rarely in the Sword Sect, and he may come back once a month." Bao Duomu said.

Zhang Xiaoluo sighed, it seemed that he could only wait.

Or, go directly to Yu Bailing? After all, Lu Jiu came to find them at the instruction of Yu Bailing.

However, if you bypass Lu Jiu and go directly to Yu Bailing, will you be turned away?

Zhang Xiaoluo and Qin Ren hesitated for a long time, but decided to wait until they found Lu Jiu.

Chang'an City.

Since Liangdu restored the title of Chang'an City, its prosperity seems to have reached a higher level.

Many rich people from all over the country flocked to Chang'an, either to have fun and stay or to buy houses directly.

The land prices in Chang'an City also soared, and it was hard to find a fortune, because the court took action and restricted the sale of houses and land.

"How is it? Are there still houses?"

On an inconspicuous path in Chang'an City, two carriages met in an interlaced manner.

The carriage stopped, and the curtains on the carriage were pulled up.

On one of the carriages, a middle-aged man poked his head out and looked left and right. After finding no one around, he knocked on the window of the carriage opposite.

Soon, a middle-aged man poked his head out in the carriage opposite.

"Yes!" The middle-aged man who poked his head out of his head replied.

This person is Lu Yuan, a doctor of the Ministry of Revenue, and is a fifth-rank official. He is not big or small.

The key is that the position he is in is a hot and fragrant bun during this period!

The land prices in Chang'an are soaring. He uses his identity to make huge profits from it!

He even started to buy and sell houses privately recently.

If this is

If exposed, it will lose your head!

However, humans die for money and birds die for food. In the face of huge temptation of money, Lu Yuan, who has been mediocre all his life, could certainly not resist it.

The most important thing is that there is someone behind him!

Otherwise, even if he was given three heads, he would not dare to do such a thing!

The person behind Lu Yuan is also a powerful figure in the court and the country.

Factoryman Wei He!

Wei He was once the confidant of the late emperor and was in charge of everything within the country.

At the end of the 29th year of Weide, that is, the third year before the reign of the Daliang Emperor, an investigation factory with Wei He as the chief executive was established.

The duties of the investigation factory are mainly to detect and search for court officials who committed the crime.

However, it is only responsible for arresting officials of fifth ranks and above. For those under the fifth ranks, the arrest factory will take people, which is somewhat of a waste of talent.

It was also because of the establishment of the Imperial Factory that Wei He's power grew stronger and stronger. The name of the factory was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. His cruel methods were terrifying to hear about it.

The most typical example is Li Mingjing, the third-rank prefect of the previous dynasty. After the death of the first emperor, Wei He blamed Li Mingjing for accepting bribes due to personal grudges.

Then he used various means to torture and forced confessions, causing Li Mingjing to reveal his "crime".

The next day, more than fifty people in Li Mingjing were all stripped of skin and hung them on the square of the war factory until they were dried up and fucked.

Some people in the investigation factory witnessed this tragic situation with their own eyes. Some of the people who were skinned were still alive!

Like a blood gourd, struggling and sobbing on the flagpole.

That scene makes people feel numb when thinking about it.

Therefore, the factory manager Wei He is as famous as Liu Xiang and Liu Guangcheng.

All the civil and military officials in the court knew that these two were not good things, but they could not do anything about these two people.

Even His Majesty Chen Guangze is unable to do anything to these two people.

The power held by these two people was so great that Chen Guangze was in danger of being undermined at any time!

Fortunately, the control of the army is firmly grasped in Chen Guangze's own hands.

As long as the army is still there, Wei He and Liu Guangcheng will not be able to cause too much storm.

"Have you brought the money?" Lu Yuan asked.

"Bring it!" The middle-aged man who bought a house was a wealthy businessman named Jia from Luzhou.

Because the journey is long and the cumbersome, it is too late.

When he came to Chang'an City, the court had already begun to interfere in the sale of houses and land.

Fortunately, the rich businessman surnamed Jia used money to pioneer the way and bribed a lot of relationships before he got on the Lu Yuan line, and then bought a house from Lu Yuan.

The house is not in the center of Chang'an City, and is even a bit remote.

But according to the current situation, you will definitely not lose money if you buy it!

If you sell it in a few days, you may make a profit!

"Take it right here!" Lu Yuan said.

However, the wealthy businessman surnamed Jia was a little hesitant.

"What? Are you afraid that I will not be able to pay the debt?" Lu Yuan saw that the wealthy businessman surnamed Jia hesitated, and immediately became a little annoyed.

"No!" The rich businessman surnamed Jia was shocked and immediately threw his money bag out of the car window and into Lu Yuan's carriage.

There was a sound of counting silver in Lu Yuan's carriage. Soon, Lu Yuan poked a hand out of the car window, and what he grabbed was a land deed.

The wealthy businessman surnamed Jia immediately shone with his eyes and reached out to grab the land deed.

But he found that Lu Yuan grabbed the land deed tightly and had no intention of letting go.

"Lu Daren, what do you mean?" The wealthy businessman surnamed Jia immediately became alert.

"Remember, this matter cannot be circulated!"
