Reborn Black Lotus can read minds

After removing the round table, the originally bustling front hall immediately became quiet and became much more spacious. After asking someone to serve us tea, Zhao Boyuan retreated and there were only four of us left in the room. Without the noisy guy Zhao Er, this scene would not be so annoying.

But I know very well that all this is just the calm before the storm. Zhao Boyuan is a boy who has always been moody and has a seriously distorted personality. One second he can pamper you to the sky, and the next second he can trample you into the ground. If you are not careful, it will end in ashes and a tragic end. You have to guard against it...

After drinking the fine Dahongpao, I suppressed the smile on my face, looked straight at Zhao Boyuan and said, "Master Zhao, why do you need to do this?"

Zhao Boyuan knew this and asked, "Oh, why did Mr. Lu say this?"

I sneered and said, "In order to win over us, you deliberately put on such a happy scene. It's really a lot of trouble."

Zhao Boyuan pretended to be aggrieved and sighed: "Hey... I can't help it. Money is easy to come by, but a confidant is hard to find. With a brave and resourceful person like Mr. Lu, Zhao still really wants to have a good relationship with you!"

He continued to sneer: "Oh, Mr. Zhao is not stingy when he praises people. It's a pity that this time, no matter how brave and resourceful I am, you have forced me to this step. What's wrong? Mr. Zhao still wants to continue the topic of the afternoon? ?”

"Of course!" Zhao Boyuan said with a matter-of-fact expression. "But... there were some things that I couldn't elaborate on at the time, and I didn't dare to tell the truth, so I had to take this trick and force Mr. Lu to come to the door in person. It's really disrespectful!"

"In other words, in Mr. Zhao's eyes, my two brothers are nothing more than accessories?" Zhao Boyuan praised me several times today, highlighting my leadership status intentionally or unintentionally. Although I know that the two brothers are not I would mind, but now that I understand the metaphor, I am still very unhappy.

"No, no, no! Of course not!" Zhao Boyuan waved his hands in a panic. "Master Ling is calm and tough, with a calm personality; Master Suochuoluo is as powerful as the gods, brave and resourceful. They are all great talents. Zhao is very thirsty for talents, so how can he disrespect them?"

But I could tell that although all the facial expressions of this boy were very natural, the aura he exuded was full of teasing and disdain. But no matter what, at least his attitude is quite mild now, and it should be at a stage that is conducive to communication between the two parties. In addition to his identity, I really didn’t want to offend him to death, so I stopped criticizing and asked directly: “Tell me, what is Mr. Zhao’s intention in coming to us?”

Without answering my question directly, Zhao Boyuan looked down at the tea cup in his hand and asked: "Did you three go to Manxiangyuan Teahouse this afternoon?"

I had guessed early on that he would pay attention to our every move, and I had no intention of hiding it. I nodded and said, "Yes, I also met Lao Bangzi."

Zhao Boyuan smiled and said: "This old guy, I thought about getting rid of him a few years ago. After all, people like him and the organization behind him are not products that should appear in this era. It's a pity. Now my strength is not enough to catch them all, so I will leave the old thing behind for the time being."

"That's all, it's useless to talk more. If that's the case, the three of you should have a rough understanding of my past, right?"

I nodded and said: "Yes, although it is not complete, I still know a little bit."

Zhao Boyuan nodded, pondered for a moment and said, "If I say... the woodcutter case has nothing to do with me, would you believe it?"

"I'd like to hear the details." This guy seems to have too many secrets hidden in him, so I don't plan to make a conclusion about him easily for the time being.

Zhao Boyuan cast an approving look at me, and then said: "Actually, I can't say that I am not completely responsible for this matter. After all, when Liu Er just came back with Ganoderma lucidum, the first one he went to was our Earl. Mansion."

"At that time, my eldest brother Zhao Zuyin was in poor health and was looking for good medicine, so Liu Er thought of selling Ganoderma lucidum to us. Unfortunately, my eldest brother's illness was not suitable for major supplements, and he did not need such precious medicinal materials. In addition, he also had some stocks at home. I didn’t buy the Ganoderma lucidum. I was stupid at that time, so I casually mentioned something to Liu Er, asking him to hold an auction, and the highest bidder would get it. As a result, the news leaked out. It happened that during that time, my family was in contact with the curtain. The family has a lot of contacts, the eldest brother is weak, and the second brother has not returned home from abroad, so he asked me to move around on his behalf."

"I didn't expect that just a few days after the news spread, Liu Er's family would be brutally murdered. Although I don't know who spread the rumor, this big hat of seeking wealth and murder is still firmly pinned on my head."

"To be honest, I usually have a pretty good mentality. I don't even bother to deal with such rumors. But more importantly, I understand that there must be a big shot behind this. Although with the status of our Zhao family, Even the dignified governor wants to respect us, but it would be an extra step. I am too lazy to make more excuses and let others pour dirty water on me. So..."

"So you have been silently carrying this unfounded charge for several years." I finished for him.

Zhao Boyuan nodded, and then changed the topic: "But it doesn't matter. In other words, it was this rumor that helped me create a persona with a vicious mind and a sinister mind, which actually helped me carry out the plan."

"Do you still have any impressions of my four bodyguards you saw during the day?" Zhao Boyuan raised his head and asked.

I nodded. Masters like this are not common. How could they not be impressed in such a short period of time?

Zhao Boyuan introduced: "They are the four famous Luan clan heroes in the world at that time. They came from Guangxi to join me in the early years because they took a fancy to my reputation."

I was shocked. The names of the four heroes of the Luan family were well-known in the world in the early years. In fact, at the beginning, this organization was called Luan's Qixiong, and they were the children of a Luan family in Hunan. Although they were not born from the same mother, the seven brothers had a deep love for each other and were all talented. They became famous very early on.

It's just a pity that these seven children did not receive any good education since they were young. They are extremely advocating violence and never know what the law is. As early as their teens, they dared to lead a group of gangsters to rob the government's grain truck. They are extremely audacious. .

Later, the local government vigorously suppressed the gangs, and these seven brothers were the key targets for arrest. In order to avoid being pursued by officials, the seven brothers ran all the way to Guangxi and studied under the famous martial arts master Chen Xuan. The first thing they did after becoming a master was to poison and kill the master's family, a typical example of killing the donkey.

From then on, the seven heroes of the Luan clan ran rampant in Guangxi. It was difficult for the officers and soldiers to resist them, so they could only stay away from them. Until later, Uncle Lu decided to drive the escort route to Guangxi, and asked my mother and Uncle Gong to go there as the vanguard to establish relations. I thought that based on the reputation of the two Edo seniors, this matter should be a matter of course, but the Luan family's seven male calves are not afraid of tigers and will not lower the charging standard no matter what.

After a lot of back and forth, my mother also got angry, and the two parties started fighting in the restaurant. Facing seven masters who were close to the level of martial arts at that time and who had always cooperated with each other tacitly, Uncle Gong could only protect my mother and fight and walk away. In the end, he was injured to the waist. After he came back, he took sister Yingluo's medicine and lay in bed. It took more than three months to fully recover.

As the head escort, the news that Uncle Gong was injured seriously affected the normal operation of the escort agency. Uncle Lu rarely lost his temper and asked Sister Qingcheng and Brother Jing to lead nearly a hundred elite bodyguards to Guangxi, officially declaring war on the seven heroes of the Luan family under the pretext of eliminating harm for the people.

With the support and help of local officials and people, Sister Qingcheng and others were unstoppable along the way, defeating the Luan brothers' forces. The two sides finally launched a decisive battle near Pingle. With the absolute superior force and the strong firepower support of the government, Sister Qingcheng, who was at least at the peak of Wuji's strength at that time, with the support of Brother Jing's muskets, defeated one against seven and killed the second and sixth Luan brothers with her own hands, and also captured the third alive. Seeing that the situation is over. The remaining four people had no choice but to flee the battlefield with overwhelming hatred, but unexpectedly they ended up in Jinling and surrendered to Zhao Boyuan's sect. You know, this kid knows my origins well. He can let the four heroes of the Luan family who have a bloody feud with the escort agency sit next door and not attack me. How can this Zhao Boyuan be a simple character?

Getting back to the topic, Zhao Boyuan said: "As long as Mr. Lu is willing to cooperate with me, the heads of those four people will be a meeting gift from me to you."

These words really scared me. As Zhao Boyuan's most handy weapon along the way, the four heroes of the Luan family have handled too much dirty work for him, and there is still some affection between master and servant. But now that he could give up these four people for me, rather than being flattered, I feel really scared.

"Mr. Zhao... um... well, this condition is indeed very tempting to me. But I'm sorry, Mr. Zhao, I will never do a loss-making business. If I can't completely understand the relationship between you and us, The purpose of cooperation, let alone the heads of the four heroes of the Luan family, I won’t sit on the throne even if you put it there!”

"Hahaha..." As if he had expected such an answer from me, Zhao Boyuan burst out laughing. After a while, he stopped smiling and said, "Young Master Lu is the best among men. That's all. I invited you here today just to make things clear." . But before that, I would like to ask Mr. Lu, why are you here in Jinling?"

"Asking knowingly?" I looked at him with a half-smile,

Zhao Boyuan shook his head and said: "No, no, no, I really don't know this. Although I have investigated that one of the purposes of your coming here is to target the Mu family, or Governor Mu Yancang. But what to do specifically? But I don’t know what kind of responsibility it is. So if it’s convenient, can Mr. Lu answer Zhao’s questions?”

I tapped the armrest of the chair with my fingers, and briefly communicated with the two little ones with my eyes. It was the first time I met such an opponent, and I always felt on edge. I really didn't know whether I should answer his question.

After a brief communication, I felt relieved, raised my head to meet Zhao Boyuan's scorching eyes and said, "It's just a matter of beating, the court is not planning to take action against him at the moment."
