"The ancients said that sincerity is the way of heaven, and sincerity is the way of man. From the moment he was crowned, cousin Gongsun can no longer use his youth and ignorance to sophistry. He dares to ask the young master whether it is natural and right to pay back debts.
?」
After waiting for so long, Lu Peng finally got an excellent opportunity to stab Gongsun Cheng in the back. Didn't the other party value face most, so he focused his thoughts on this aspect.
"Young Master Gongsun, your sister borrowed nine hundred and seventy taels of silver from me, and it is already half a month overdue. What do you think of this account?"
"Young Master Gongsun, please give me an explanation for my return to Helou that day."
"Gongsun Cheng! My eye was injured by that little demon girl because of you, what do you think I should do!"
The people who rushed in were talking to each other, and it was so lively that Gongsun Cheng was surrounded by a group of people, and his face turned green.
Among this group of people, the few bookkeepers who asked for money were relatively good-natured. After all, they did not look at the monk or the Buddha. The Gongsun family wanted to give them face. As long as they took the money, they would leave immediately.
It's hard to say about the rest of them, there are already a few who are hot-tempered and want to take action.
Seeing this situation, Lu Hanjiang, as Gongsun Cheng's best friend and confidant, of course couldn't just sit idly by and ignore it. He immediately stood up, raised his dog-beating stick and shouted: "How dare you! Who are you? How dare you act wild here?"
!Disciples listen to the order and form a formation!"
The gang leader gave the order, and his disciples stepped forward one after another. Although this group of Jin Yiwei who pretended to be disciples of the Beggar Clan didn't know any dog-beating formations at all, after picking up the sticks, they all showed murderous intent. The power was much stronger than the dog-beating formations.
The group of Jianghu people were frightened, and one of the men bravely asked: "Does the leader of the Beggar Clan want to help the tyrants to do evil? Does he use the large number of people to bully us with the small number of people?"
"It's a joke. I'm just bullying you. If you have the ability, just do it."
Lu Hanjiang's words successfully dispelled the fear in the hearts of this group of people. Instead of fighting over the steamed buns, they all clamored for a fight as if they had been beaten to death.
But Lu Hanjiang didn't care at all. He strode up to Gongsun Cheng, patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, dear brother, I will handle this matter."
"Brother Lu, thank you very much." Gongsun Cheng said movedly, his tone choked up, but the next second, what Lu Hanjiang did surprised him.
Lu Hanjiang waved his hand and called for a group of disciples to form a human wall to block the front. Then he pointed at the Beggar Clan disciples and said, "Look."
Everyone was confused and didn't understand what Lu Hanjiang meant by this move, until a sharp-eyed person in the crowd suddenly exclaimed, pointed at one of the Beggar Clan disciples and said in disbelief: "That's the 'Hundred Flowers Colorful Cloud Stick'! It's my boss'
The ones sold were sold for one hundred and fifty taels!"
"This, this is the material from Silk Cloud Village. The quality is so exquisite. It should cost dozens of taels of silver at least."
"There is also the Pisces jade pendant this person is wearing! That is also worth a hundred taels!"
Everyone was talking to each other, and finally they were surprised to find that the group of Beggar Clan disciples in front of them were simply outrageous. They were not what kind of beggars they were. Everyone believed that the son of a certain family was out to travel around the world.
Among the martial arts sects, Wudang has the best personal treatment for its disciples. On average, the daily expenses of a Wudang disciple are three to five times higher than that of a disciple of the same level of sect.
Before Lu Hanjiang reformed the thinking of the Beggar Clan, the cost of about a hundred Beggar Clan disciples was almost as much as that of one Wudang disciple.
After he vigorously reformed his thoughts, everyone followed him and became happier day by day, so the expenses of the Beggar Clan disciples also caught up, reaching one-third of that of the Wudang disciples.
This is already an extremely terrifying increase. This alone will cause the Beggar Clan's finances to completely collapse. However, the current level of wealth displayed by this group of Beggar Clan disciples means that one person can be as powerful as ten Wudang disciples. There is absolutely no problem.
Although everyone was shocked, they still didn't understand what Lu Hanjiang meant. They just heard him smile disdainfully, and then said: "You guys are asking for debts and cheating. To put it bluntly, you are here to cry out to Young Master Gongsun about your poverty. Today
I said frankly that I have clearly seen that the expenses for these disciples are all borne by Young Master Gongsun."
"What did you say?
What?!"
Everyone was shocked, but they were not shocked that Gongsun Cheng generously contracted the expenses of the Beggar Clan disciples, but were shocked that he was obviously rich and yet he pretended to be poor and avoided them!
"Who just said that my good brother has no money? It's a joke! Look clearly, does this seem like something a person with no money would do?" Lu Hanjiang ignored the green-faced Gongsun Cheng and kept shouting.
Everyone was stunned when they heard it, right? When did they say that Gongsun Cheng had no money? They were obviously here to commit suicide!
Another person walked out of the crowd, cupped his hands to Lu Hanjiang, and said in a slightly slower tone: "Gang Leader Lu, please listen to what I'm going to say next. We assisted Gongsun Cheng in catching the little demon girl, but now he has all the benefits and reputation alone.
, we were used as bait and gunmen by him for nothing, how should we discuss this matter?"
Gongsun Cheng said hurriedly: "No, I didn't think so at all. I actually -"
"Brother, you don't have to talk nonsense with them."
Lu Hanjiang interrupted Gongsun Cheng's explanation and said for him: "Even if that is the case, so what, we are all righteous knights, why should we distinguish between you and me? Besides, what is my virtuous brother's status? I am acting as a bait for him."
It's your honor to just say thank you without being grateful. If you dare to come and ask for justice, you are simply ignorant."
When everyone heard this, they became even more furious, and another person stood up and cursed angrily: "What nonsense! Gongsun Cheng used us as a stepping stone for him to gain fame, and exploited us. How shameless! You, Gang Leader Lu, said such scandals
It’s so high-sounding, is there such a thing as royal law?”
Hearing this, Lu Hanjiang suddenly paused, with sarcasm in his eyes, and said calmly: "Why, you are a man of the world, and you still want to discuss the law of kingship with me?"
"Bah! If there is no king's law, there is no heavenly justice! Lu Qiqi! Gongsun Cheng! I just don't accept it!" The man rolled up his sleeves and seemed to be about to take action.
Lu Hanjiang shrugged nonchalantly: "You guys are so stupid, put aside the facts, don't you have nothing wrong at all?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into silence. After the strange silence, they shouted and cursed even more passionately: "I can't bear it anymore! Brothers, can you endure these guys treating us like ants and humiliating us like this!"
"I can't bear it anymore! Fight with them!"
"Fight it! Fight it!"
The crowd was excited, and when they saw the situation, they were about to open up. Lu Hanjiang retreated a lot, and added: "How courageous, but this is the territory of the Gongsun family, do you still dare to take action here?"
"Why don't you dare!"
Being provoked by Lu Hanjiang, the man immediately punched the Gongsun tribesman who was watching on the side. The man was caught off guard and knocked to the ground by the man's punch. The situation was even more out of control.
It was impossible for a member of the Gongsun family to not fight back after being beaten, so the two sides fought together. Lu Hanjiang made a gesture, and the Beggar Clan disciples retreated one after another and began to fish in troubled waters. From time to time, they would still swing black sticks in the crowd.
Lu Peng became anxious as soon as he saw this posture. This motley crowd was no match for the disciples of the Beggar Clan. He went to help without saying a word, but was quickly stopped by the attendant beside him.
"Why are you stopping me? If I don't help and beat Gongsun Cheng to death with a stick, there will be no chance." Lu Peng said anxiously.
"Young master, please calm down," the attendant whispered to dissuade him, "it's best if we don't take action at this moment. Let these people make trouble. If they fall out, Gongsun Cheng's reputation will be completely ruined."
