Chapter 216: Take One at Random Surgery
I'm afraid that since the history of Yuanjiang Market, there has never been such a precedent. A mourning hall for more than a hundred people was set up in a prosperous and busy city.
This movement alarmed everyone in the market, and people knew that Wanhe Chamber of Commerce was robbed and Yudie Peak suffered heavy losses.
Everyone gathered around and pointed at the mourning hall. Some people were very shocked, some were confused, and naturally some people were gloating.
Especially those who were originally in competition with Yudie Peak felt very comfortable.
"This Yudie Peak is really shameless. Instead of trying to find a way to get the goods back as soon as possible after being robbed, they even held a grand funeral for a group of guards!"
"These guards are just a group of ordinary people. They died for money. Lu Yu is too ignorant to hold such a grand funeral for them!"
"As the saying goes, family disgrace should not be made public. They have exposed this matter to everyone. Who will dare to cooperate with them in the future?"
"Haha, who made them so arrogant? This time they got retribution, right? This is called doing too much evil will eventually lead to self-destruction!"
...
In a corner of the market, deacon Liu Yugui was also closely watching all this. He looked deep and said nothing. No one knew what he was thinking.
At this time, another group of disciples on duty who were responsible for maintaining order came up and asked him: "Uncle Liu, are we just going to watch them do whatever they want here? And not stop them?"
Liu Yugui rolled his eyes and showed a big roll of his eyes: "Then tell me, what is the rule of the Elders Council that says funerals are not allowed in the market?"
"This..." The disciple on duty was speechless. He thought about it carefully and found that the Elders Council really did not have such a rule.
However, the rules are dead, and people are alive. Although Lu Yu and others did not violate the rules by setting up a mourning hall in the market, they actually affected the order of the market. Logically speaking, they should at least try to dissuade them.
The disciple on duty wanted to refute, but was glared at by Liu Yugui.
"Just take care of your own business. As long as they don't violate the rules of the Elders Council, you don't need to care!"
"Yes..."
The disciple on duty retreated angrily and never dared to come to mention this topic again.
...
Lu Yu had no idea what was happening around him, but even if he knew, he would not take it to heart.
With the concerted efforts of hundreds of people, the mourning hall was soon set up.
Lu Yu gathered more than 700 disciples again, lined up neatly in front of the mourning hall, and mourned for the 136 martyrs.
The purpose of his doing this was not only to respect these guards who used their lives to protect the goods, but also to convey a message to people.
Wanhe Chamber of Commerce is not just a follower of Yudie Peak. The two are actually as close as a family, and they will prosper together and suffer together!
Sure enough, seeing the actions of more than 700 disciples of Yudie Peak, Yu Wanli and other members of Wanhe Chamber of Commerce were so excited that they couldn't help but tremble slightly.
They never thought that a chamber of commerce organization like theirs in the secular world could be so respected by an immortal sect like Yudie Peak. As the saying goes, a scholar dies for his confidant. What's wrong with serving such a hero, even if it means sacrificing one's life?
The crowd watching around could not help but be infected by the solemn atmosphere at the scene, and the discussion gradually became quieter.
After a full quarter of an hour, the silence ended.
Lu Yu walked back to the front of Yu Wanli and others and asked calmly: "Are there any suspects in this matter?"
Yu Wanli shook his head: "The other party acted decisively and cleanly, leaving no clues for investigation."
Lu Yu nodded in understanding: "It doesn't matter, if there is no one, then just randomly designate one!"
Yu Wanli was stunned and felt confused, but Lu Yu did not explain and continued to talk to himself.
"The last time President Yu was in trouble at Cuizhu Peak, he said that it was because of a conflict with a chamber of commerce in Jingchu. They were behind the scenes and forced President Yu to be imprisoned..."
"This chamber of commerce dared to imprison President Yu last time, so it is not surprising that they would do such a thing now. Moreover, President Yu was imprisoned for more than a month last time, and no interest has been recovered..."
"Today's incident is just right for them to be blamed first, after all, it is not too unfair to them!"
Yu Wanli was stunned. Can such a thing be designated so casually?
"Is there a branch of this chamber of commerce in this market?" Lu Yu asked again.
"Yes..."
Yu Wanli answered hesitantly, and he was still a little behind Lu Yu's train of thought.
"Very good, please ask President Yu to show the way! Senior Brother Qi, let our people follow President Yu immediately and surround the branch of this chamber of commerce first!"
Lu Yu's eyes became unruly, and his face became murderous again.
"Since we don't know who did it, let's just start with them!"
Qi Yunkai was startled and said hesitantly: "But... now is the market opening period, no force can be used within the market, and we have no evidence, so we have no reason to do so..."
"I just asked you to surround this branch, but I didn't ask you to use force to kill it!"
Lu Yu said indifferently.
"As for the evidence, isn't that easy to deal with?"
As he said this, Lu Yu suddenly raised his voice and began to direct and act.
"Is this true? It turns out that when President Yu arrived, Guard Chen had not died yet, and left a last word?"
"Who is it? Who is so bold? How dare they rob our Yudie Peak's goods within the sphere of influence of the Dali Sword Sect?"
"Come on! Surround this lawless Jingnan Chamber of Commerce immediately!"
The clear and loud voice resounded throughout every corner of Yuanjiang Market City.
Before people had time to digest the surprise in their hearts, Lu Yu suddenly waved his hand and led more than 700 disciples from Yudie Peak and charged directly towards the branch of Jingnan Chamber of Commerce.
