"Several of you, Mr. Lu invites you."
I don't know how long they waited, but the people who had been outside the mansion for a long time were already impatient. The door of Prince Yan's mansion finally opened, and it was Tan Long who stepped out and welcomed everyone.
Seeing Tan Long, several people's expressions were a little ugly.
Because it was he who broke in with someone last night and showed no mercy at all.
But as the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person with your hand, and Tan Long showed no objection, so they couldn't say much. After all, this is still Prince Yan's Mansion. Strictly speaking, they are all from Prince Yan's Mansion. If they really make trouble on the street, it will probably not end well.
So the four of them looked at each other, left their entourage outside, and stepped into Prince Yan's Mansion.
Tan Long led the way quietly, showing no intention of starting a conversation. Shopkeeper Sun originally wanted to ask a few questions, but seeing his attitude, he stopped asking for trouble.
After a while, Tan Long led them to Dongyuan and entered a living room.
Lu Li was already sitting inside, holding a tea cup in his hand, and calmly blew the tea stem without even raising his head. On the tea table on his side were piles of many accounting documents.
Several people had different expressions when they saw those account books.
But Peng Wei's face was livid, and he said with a smile but not a smile: "Master Lu, have you passed?"
"Um?"
Lu Li took a sip of tea, and then said with a smile as if he had just seen them: "I'm sorry, I always thought it was very elegant to hold a tea cup and talk about things. I always wanted to try it, and I got a little obsessed."
After that, he put down the teacup casually, "Some things are better imagined."
Tan Long on the side stepped forward and said, "How many of you, please sit down?"
He stretched out his hand, but his eyes were a little cold.
These words were exactly what Lu Li had said to them yesterday.
It's just that the four of them didn't sit down at that time. Instead, they ruined Lu Li's face and came to the door today. Hearing Tan Long mention these words again made him feel quite uncomfortable.
"Come here, sit down, sit down." Shopkeeper Sun laughed sarcastically, and was about to take a seat next to Lu Li, but before he could sit down, Lu Li said calmly: "Did I let you sit down? "
"Uh..." Shopkeeper Sun froze for a moment, neither sitting nor standing, and his face turned the color of pig liver.
Lu Li said lightly: "You didn't sit down yesterday, just stand there and listen today."
"Junior! You are going too far!"
Peng Wei had a violent temper and immediately roared, his energy leaking out. He was actually a cultivator in the realm of listening to thunder!
Lu Li raised his eyes and sneered, "Showing authority? Okay."
"Tan Long!"
Stop drinking with one shout!
I saw Tan Long standing in front of Peng Wei with a sinister smile. Thunder exploded, and he reached out with his palm and put it on Peng Wei's shoulder!
"Come to Prince Yan's Mansion to show off your power? By you?" Tan Long surged with strength and directly pushed Peng Wei to the ground on one knee, and the bones in his body made a horrifying friction sound!
Peng Wei half-knelt on the ground, his aura completely shattered, but he was extremely angry, and shouted: "I came to visit to solve the problem, you, a junior, want to give us a blow!? "
"A show of force?" Lu Li smiled, "Shopkeeper Peng misunderstood. I said in the restaurant yesterday that if you give me face, I will naturally give you face."
While he was talking, Lu Li rummaged through the pile of ledgers next to him, took out the martial arts school's ledger and threw it in front of Peng Wei. He said coldly: "But now that you have taken away my face, you just want to take it away with just one sentence?"
Peng Wei's face was livid, and he wanted to reach out to pick up his account book, but he heard Tan Long snort and immediately hesitated.
Even though they are both in the Listening to Thunder realm, Tan Long has already reached the deep realm of thundering muscles and bones, and is only half a step away from opening the Xuanmen. If he really wants to make a move, he is no match for him.
Thinking of this, Peng Wei's attitude softened a bit, "Master Lu, you and I have no grievances, why do you need to harm me like this?"
Lu Li sneered and said nothing.
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
At this time, the shopkeeper Ai took a step forward and said, neither humble nor arrogant: "I met Mr. Lu in Ai Ziqi."
Lu Li glanced at him sideways, "Shopkeeper Ai, do you have something to say?"
"To be honest with you, sir, Ai came here today just to inform you that Ai has always done his job for Prince Yan's palace with no regrets. There is absolutely no dirt in the account book. Please return it to me."
Ai Ziqi gave him a long bow and his tone was extremely sincere.
But the trace of complacency in his eyes still betrayed his thoughts at the moment.
In his opinion, Peng Wei and others are complete idiots. They can't even make false accounts. They even kept the letters from the nobles with them. Now they have an extra clue. He won't make such low-level mistakes at all. commit.
No one could see anything wrong with that account book. Ai Ziqi didn't believe that the young boy in front of him could handle him.
"oh?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Li took out Ai Ziqi's account book.
He is responsible for half of the water transportation, but his account book is much thinner than others.
After casually flipping through it a few times, Lu Li put down the account book and said, "Shopkeeper Ai's accounts are pretty good."
Ai Ziqi thought he had given in, and with a smug smile on his face, he said slowly: "Thank you, Mr. Lu. Of course you have to put some thought into doing things for His Highness."
"Um."
Lu Li nodded as if in approval, and said coldly: "It's a pity that your thoughts are in the wrong place."
The smile on Ai Ziqi's face froze, "What do you mean, sir?"
"You are a smart person, you know the rules and know how to measure things." Lu Li stood up and stepped closer to Ai Ziqi's surprised eyes. "The smarter the person, the more complicated the things they think about. You will be better than others." Calculate an extra three steps, five steps, or even ten steps and a hundred steps.”
"Your Excellency, you are so complimentary."
Ai Zi looked forward to Lu Li's eyes, and suddenly his heart skipped a beat, and a cold feeling rushed from his back to the top of his head. He silently took a few steps back and said, "Ai thought about it for a moment. Since he is clear about his conscience, I'd better keep the account book with you." It’s better in my hands, so I’ll take my leave.”
He was about to retreat, but Tan Long was already blocking the door. This move frightened him even more, and he said inwardly: "What are you doing? Get out of the way!"
Tan Long didn't say anything, just smiled solemnly.
"Shopkeeper Ai, you are indeed a talent." Lu Li said with regret, "But why can't you be smarter?"
Ai Ziqi's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Master Lu, this is Prince Yan's Mansion, don't make any mistakes!"
"yes."
"This... is Prince Yan's Mansion!"
Lu Li grinned. There was no smile on his face, but a bit of madness on his face. The next moment he rushed over and kicked Ai Ziqi in the chest, knocking him to the ground!
"How dare you show off your cleverness in Prince Yan's Mansion?"
After finishing his words, Lu Li raised his hand, the invisible sharpness condensed on his fingertips, "Tell yourself, are you looking for death?"
Ai Ziqi struggled to get up and shouted: "I am from the Shen family! Don't..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Li waved his hand, and the sword energy had already passed through.
Ai Ziqi's words stopped suddenly, and there was a blood line on his throat, and blood was squeezed out like a fountain.
He held his throat and struggled desperately for a moment. There was still a hint of disbelief in his eyes that gradually dissipated!
Lu Li looked at him deeply and whispered, "Sorry, I don't know him."
