Fantasy: The Second Miss Said She Was Ordinary
Chapter 278 A Bit Like Big Brother
Big brother is just a businessman now, how can he manage those mercenary groups?
Wei Ji felt that his elder brother had no control over these twenty or so mercenary groups, and he had even less control over the high-ranking officials who accepted bribes.
If the imperial court does not come forward to conduct a thorough investigation and cannot obtain evidence, how can it convict those high-ranking officials?
Wei Ji originally thought that there were still two days left to operate, but unexpectedly, Xingji Pavilion suddenly notified everyone that they would hold the bidding in advance.
This is really forcing someone to do something they shouldn't do.
Wei Ji boasted to the regiment commander yesterday that he would take care of this matter, but now there has been no progress at all...
I was really screwed by my brother.
He didn't even dare to look into Chu Kuangfeng's eyes.
Chu Kuangfeng had never placed any hope on Wei Ji. Yan Hui was drunk yesterday, so his drunken words naturally did not count.
He came here today just to make up the numbers, without any hope.
Suddenly, he saw Meng Hu.
Meng Hu, Ma Gan, and Fatty were so conspicuous. Everything that had just happened in the busy city was still fresh in my mind. Now, the two little girls who had been with them had disappeared...
Moving his gaze to Lu Jiu who was sitting at the top, Chu Kuangfeng keenly discovered that Lord Lu, who was very graceful in his every move, winked in the direction of Meng Hu several times!
What else doesn’t Chu Kuangfeng understand?
Those two little girls were given to Lu Jiu!
Chu Kuangfeng immediately felt depressed and uncomfortable, and a feeling of powerlessness swept over his body.
This damn world is full of damn scum!
A golden road to success, but how many innocent people have died in pity!
Chu Kuangfeng really wanted to rush forward and tell everything, so that everyone could see the true face of Lu Jiu and the Huli Mercenary Group.
But he knew that he couldn't do that. He had no evidence and no one would believe him. Even if they did, no one would go against the director of the Merchants Bureau!
He sat dejectedly in his seat, hoping that today's bidding would end quickly so that he could go back and have a good drink with his brothers to relieve the depression in his heart.
He was quiet, but someone didn't want him to be at peace.
Meng Hu also suddenly discovered the existence of Chu Kuangfeng.
He frowned and his heart tightened.
This bearded man who almost ruined his plans was actually the leader of a mercenary group!
That’s okay!
He, Meng Hu, has already taken so many steps steadily and has also offered up a beautiful woman of superb appearance. He will not allow any more mistakes today!
He immediately stood up and pointed at Chu Kuangfeng: "Why are human traffickers also participating in the bidding?"
Immediately, everyone's eyes fell on Chu Kuangfeng.
Chu Kuangfeng looked up in surprise, caught off guard.
Someone frowned: "Brother, please don't speak nonsense. Do you have any evidence?"
Meng Hu said angrily, "Of course, this guy wanted to kidnap my sister in the street. Fortunately, I saw through him, so he left in disgrace. It caused quite a stir at the time, and many people saw it!"
Chu Kuangfeng was furious: "Stop slandering me!"
The leaders of the other mercenary groups also said, "Yes, Captain of the Fox Mercenary Group, you must have evidence. If you say this now, we strongly suspect that you are deliberately slandering us in order to eliminate our competitors."
Meng Hu sneered: "Haha, if you don't believe me, you can go out and turn left and ask the vendors. There were quite a few people who saw it at that time!"
Ma Gan also shouted, "Look at his hair; there's still mud on it from the people!"
Chu Kuangfeng immediately raised his hand to smooth his hair. He remembered that he had packed everything before entering the Lu Mansion...
But when he made this move to cover up his mistake, he realized that he had been tricked. This action confirmed that he had indeed been pelted with mud by the people.
Everyone's eyes looking at him changed.
Chu Kuangfeng's hand froze in mid-air, and for a moment, his face turned red with shame and anger.
Looking at Lu Jiu who was at the top, Chu Kuangfeng felt the hairs on his back stand up. In the seemingly gentle eyes of this Lord Lu, a hint of murderous intent flashed!
He is a mercenary and is extremely sensitive to this kind of hidden murderous intent!
Chu Kuangfeng immediately saw the situation clearly.
Meng Hu suddenly slandered him in public, hoping to use Lu Jiu to get rid of him!
He immediately felt a chill run through his body. Now he was alone and helpless in someone else's territory...
Chu Kuangfeng tugged at Wei Ji's sleeve and said, "Yan Hui, let's go! We won't participate in this bidding."
Wei Ji was puzzled and shouted at Lu Jiu, "Master Lu, this person is slandering us. My captain is definitely not a human trafficker!"
Lu Jiu stared at Wei Ji, a little dazed.
This bearded, dark-skinned, rough-looking man looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
Since you don’t remember him, he must not be an important person, right?
He sneered immediately: "My Lu Mansion is not a place where you can come and go as you please. Since it involves human trafficking, this matter must be investigated thoroughly today. Come, tie them up and take them away first. After the bidding is over, we will conduct a detailed investigation..."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly heard a loud "boom".
"What's that sound?" Lu Jiu looked up in surprise.
A servant hurried over and whispered in Lu Jiu's ear: "Master, the study has collapsed..."
"What!" Lu Jiu was shocked, but the next moment, he forced himself to calm down.
His tone was very serious: "Send all the guards over there, no mistakes can be made!"
"Yes!"
After the servants hurriedly left, Lu Jiu showed an apologetic smile on his face: "There is a collapsed part in the mansion, no problem, I have sent someone to deal with it, let's continue..."
He then looked at Chu Kuangfeng and Wei Ji, whose faces were ashen, and said, "Capture these two and wait for your punishment..."
Suddenly, one of the big guys from the Star Machine Pavilion who had been sitting nearby without saying a word spoke up.
"Since he hasn't been convicted yet, he can continue to participate in the bidding. Is it inappropriate for Lord Lu to arrest him on behalf of the government based on one-sided testimony alone?"
Wei Ji paused.
Hmm? Am I hallucinating?
Why does it sound a bit like Big Brother's voice?
Haha, I must have drunk too much yesterday and I haven’t sobered up yet.
Lu Jiu's expression changed slightly.
What does Xingji Pavilion mean?
Were they not completely on the same side as him? Wasn't their choice of the Lu Mansion as the bidding site a token of their loyalty?
How dare you disobey him on this matter...
He wanted to lash out, but he also knew that the Xingji Pavilion's headquarters was in the Second Heaven, and he couldn't afford to offend them. At least, he couldn't afford to offend any of them until the Xingji Pavilion completely accepted him as one of their own.
He could only swallow his breath and smile stiffly: "Your Excellency's words make sense. Haha, then let's put this matter aside."
Chu Kuangfeng hadn't reacted yet. He had even thought of his escape route, but suddenly someone from the Xingji Pavilion said something and he didn't have to run anymore?
Can I still participate in the bidding?
He was not afraid of being handed over to the authorities afterwards. He, Chu Kuangfeng, was upright and could withstand investigation!
He took Wei Ji and sat down again.
He felt that the looks Meng Hu and Lu Jiu gave him became even more vicious.
Song Liyuan cleared his throat and said, "Now that everyone is here, let's begin the bidding. Please describe in detail the advantages of your mercenary group and the missions you have completed..."
there.
Qin Youyou led the girls to flee, but they were stopped after taking a few steps.
More than thirty guards, holding weapons in their hands, looked at them coldly.
The leader waved his hand and said, "Master has ordered us to arrest them all! We must not let them get to the front hall!"
