Chapter 7 Three-House Gathering

At night, the three-room house was brightly lit.

The meeting place was set up in the front hall of the mansion, outside was a yard, and Lu Xing's body was hung outside the door of the yard.

All the stewards who entered the meeting place had to look at Lu Xing's body up close, which undoubtedly added a bit of solemn atmosphere to the whole meeting place.

More and more people came to the meeting place, and the stewards gathered in groups of three or five, chatting.

"Young Master is still young after all. Do you think you can scare us with a dead man? Which of these stewards here has not experienced great storms? How can they be scared by a dead man?"

"Hehe, Lao Du, a dead man can't scare you, but what if you become a dead man hanging outside?"

"Humph, although Mr. Du is not very capable, he is not scared! Which of these stewards in our third room doesn't have a group of people under his command? If the young master really dares to use force, it's hard to say who will die..."

"Don't worry, it's not our turn to take action tonight. Dou Changhe alone is enough for the young master to drink a pot..."

"I heard that there are 100 Xuanjia guards on Dou Changhe's Black Dragon. Why haven't they arrived yet?"

"Yeah, what is Dou Changhe doing? We will be late later."

"He won't not come, will he?"

"If he doesn't come, why would he bring back 100 Xuanjia guards?"

...

In the east wing.

"Master, the time has come...but Dou Changhe hasn't come yet. Do we have to wait a little longer?" Xiao Zhu reported.

Lu Yu frowned slightly.

The Black Dragon had docked at noon, but no one had come yet. What on earth was Dou Changhe doing?

"No more waiting, let's go!"

He walked out the door and into the night.

Seeing Lu Yu coming, the noisy hall suddenly quieted down, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.

Lu Yu was calm and composed, and his steps were calm.

He walked to the center of the hall, looked around, and said:

"Uncles, how are you?"

"This is the first time I have called a family meeting. Not only did you uncles come in time, but you also brought all your capable men. Such importance made Lu Yu deeply impressed."

"When my father passed away, I was still young and ignorant. In the past ten years, thanks to the solidarity of you uncles, my third house has the current situation. You uncles have really worked hard for my third house."

"Now, I am about to become an adult. Although Lu Yu is not talented, I can't let you uncles keep working like this. From today on, I will take my own responsibilities and share the affairs of the family with you uncles."

"So, there is only one purpose for calling everyone here tonight, which is to check the accounts that have been accumulated over the years."

This speech seemed to ignite a gunpowder barrel, and the whole hall exploded in an instant.

"What! Check the accounts?"

"Lu Yu, do you not trust us?"

"You are just a kid, you are still wet behind the ears! Can you read the account book?"

"We are fighting hard outside, sweating and bleeding, and you want to check our accounts with just one word, what is your intention?"

...

The managers slammed the table and stood up, and the crowd was furious.

The anger surged like a tide, completely surrounding Lu Yu.

Instead of retreating, Lu Yu took the initiative to meet him.

"Uncle Du, Du Dapeng."

Lu Yu suddenly walked in front of one of the managers who was the most emotional and the most violent.

Du Dapeng was obviously stunned for a moment: "What do you think?"

Lu Yu said loudly: "Can I ask you a few questions?"

"What questions?"

"When my father was alive, you were already in charge of the rice business of our third house, right?"

"Yes!"

"During the years you were in charge of the rice business, were there any problems with the accounts?"

"Of course not."

"Since there were no problems, why did you object to my checking the accounts?"

"This..."

Du Dapeng was speechless for a moment.

Lu Yu said again: "There is one thing that everyone must have heard about. Unfortunately, I was injured a few days ago, and Lu Xing, the manager of the tea mountain in the western suburbs, took the opportunity to come to my house to make trouble."

"Lu Xing told me that day that there were more than one manager like him who had evil intentions in the third house. I didn't believe it at first..."

"But Uncle Du's reaction today made me doubt it again. Could it be that Uncle Du was the person who had evil intentions like him as Lu Xing said?"

As he said, Lu Yu put one hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

A fierce momentum spread out.

The sword has not been unsheathed, but the sword intent has already revealed its sharpness.

Du Dapeng was shocked.

Facing Lu Yu, he was the first target of this sword intent.

He really felt the threat, as if the person standing in front of him was not Lu Yu, but a sharp sword hanging on his neck.

Twelve carefully selected guards were behind him. This was originally his greatest reliance, but at this time he had an illusion that if he really took action, the twelve guards behind him might not have time to react at all.

Is this the power of Feihong Sword?

This kid can really drive it...

Sweat broke out on Du Dapeng's forehead.

"Master... don't get me wrong... Du will never do something like Lu Xing..."

Lu Yu smiled slightly.

"That's good."

"Please don't get me wrong, Uncle Du."

"I want to check the accounts of all the uncles, not to cause trouble to them, but these accounts have been accumulated for many years, and there are inevitably some omissions. As long as these omissions can be made up, I will definitely not make things difficult for you..."

"But if any uncle is unwilling to let me check the accounts, or is unwilling to make up for the omissions, don't blame me for treating him as a shameless person like Lu Xing!"

The dagger is revealed!

Checking the accounts is not the goal, but only a means. The goal is to pay back the money.

Lu Yu's sharp eyes swept the whole audience.

"I have made up my mind about this matter. If any uncle has any objection, he can raise it now."

There was silence in the hall.

This is not because Lu Yu calmed everyone down at once. These managers are all smart people, but they just don't want to be the first to stand out at this time, and want others to stand up first.

The two sides were in a stalemate, and suddenly a loud voice came from outside.

"Master Yu wants to check the accounts, why not start from Yushan Mine?"

Accompanied by this voice, a group of black armor warriors filed in.

"It's the Black Armor Guards!"

"Here they come! Dou Changhe is finally here!"

"This guy is finally here!"

"This Dou Changhe, what a big show!"

"Now there's something interesting to watch..."

"Let's see if he dares to check the accounts of Yushan Mine!"

"Dou Changhe will definitely teach the young master a lesson!"

...

The black armor warriors were divided into two rows, forming a passage.

A scarred man walked out of the middle of the passage, his face was thin, but his eyes were shining, like an unruly wolf.

It was Dou Changhe, the owner of Yushan Mine, who was known as the local emperor.

He walked straight in front of Lu Yu, and a strong momentum burst out, which was a hundred times stronger than what Lu Yu showed when facing Du Dapeng just now.

"This... Dou Changhe's cultivation seems to have improved!"

"This aura... is it the late stage of the physical realm? No, it seems to have a bit of the aura of the true essence realm?"

"This is the great perfection of the physical realm! That is, half a step of true essence, only half a step away from entering the true essence realm!"

"Scary... Such a cultivation, I'm afraid there is no one in the entire Lu family..."

"Dou Changhe has such a cultivation, and he still stays in the third room

"It seems that Yushan Mine is a good place to practice. Dou Changhe has made great progress in the past few years."

"Nonsense, if you let you live on the edge of a knife every day, you will also improve quickly! "

...

Dou Changhe deliberately aroused his momentum, not just for demonstration, but mainly to test Lu Yu's depth.

Soon, he came to a conclusion and snorted coldly: "I heard that Lu Xing died in the hands of Master Yu. I thought Master Yu had made great progress. It turns out that he is only at the fifth level of the physical realm..."

Lu Yu did not speak. While Dou Changhe was testing him, he was also observing Dou Changhe's weaknesses.

He did not expect that Dou Changhe's cultivation had reached the half-step true essence.

Huh?

Just as he was observing Dou Changhe's aura, Lu Yu suddenly felt that the medical stars on the star map seemed to vibrate faintly.

Lu Yuanshan on the side stepped forward and shouted: "Dou Changhe, don't be rude! You are talking nonsense here as soon as you come in. Do you know that you are late?"

Dou Changhe said calmly: "The reason why Dou is late is because Dou invited several important people to be witnesses for tonight's meeting. "

"Master Lu, Master Lu, Master Lu, Master Lu, please come forward!"

As he called out, three middle-aged men in gorgeous clothes walked in slowly.

Lu Tiannan, the head of the first branch of the Lu family.

Lu Tianchun, the head of the second branch of the Lu family.

Lu Tiancheng, the head of the fourth branch of the Lu family.

Surprisingly, it was the helmsman of the other three branches of the Lu family, the most powerful person in the Lu family.

There were bursts of exclamations from the crowd, and it was obvious that they did not expect Dou Changhe to invite them here.

This move meant that he did not take Lu Yu seriously at all.

"Dou Changhe, what do you mean! Why did you invite outsiders to our internal meeting of the third branch?" Lu Yuanshan said angrily.

"Brother Yuanshan, this is wrong. Although we are not from the third branch, we are all children of the Lu family. Blood is thicker than water. How can we say we are outsiders? "

Lu Tiancheng smiled proudly.

"After all, we are Xiaoyu's uncles. This gathering is Xiaoyu's first time to get involved in family affairs. As uncles, we naturally have to stand up for him, check and escort him."

Openly intervening in the affairs of the third room, and speaking so high-soundingly, Lu Yuanshan couldn't help but get furious.

"You..."

But Lu Yu raised his hand and interrupted him.

"Fourth uncle, guests are guests... Since the three uncles love me so much, I must repay them. We must go to the uncles some other day to support their family affairs... Let's see the three uncles first!"

Hearing Lu Yu say this, Lu Yuanshan had to suppress his anger and retreated.

Uncle Lu Tiannan looked at Lu Yu who was calm and praised: "Good boy, you really have the style of your father, but if you want to come to my house to give instructions, let me see how you perform tonight and whether you have such ability! "

Seeing this, several managers nearby took the initiative to give up their seats and let Lu Tiannan and the other two sit down.

Lu Yu turned to Dou Changhe and asked, "Uncle Dou, what is the meaning of your actions today? Don't you agree to check the accounts?"

"No, I agree."

Dou Changhe sneered.

"But if we want to investigate, we must investigate clearly and clearly."

"Not only do we need to check the accounts of the stewards everywhere, but we also need to check the accounts of the head of the family."

"This debt should be settled from Master Yu..."

Dou Changhe took a step forward, looked into Lu Yu's eyes, and suddenly raised his voice.

"How much resources have you spent on Sanfang over the years?"

"How much of Sanfang's face have been lost?"

"How much of your responsibilities as young master have you fulfilled?"

"In the past five years, your cultivation has not only failed to improve, but has actually regressed. Are you worthy of us brothers who are working hard outside, and worthy of Third Master's spirit in heaven?"

"Only you, are you capable of leading our third room?"
