Gou Zai Xianwu Chaos World, Physical Sainthood

Chapter 133 Solution

"So, it's not that the lord intends to reclaim these medicinal fields, but rather that the new manager is trying to embezzle funds?"

Inside the room, after listening to the accounts of Liu Chang'an and the other two, Lu Cheng understood what had happened.

That person was able to rise to a high position in just over thirty years, which shows that he was indeed very capable.

But the network of relationships behind it is definitely messy.

The accountant and steward he worked for before was a steward in his father-in-law's household.

The martial artist who has just arrived, who is at the peak of body refinement, is a nephew of his master's family. He is here purely to make money.

They actually demanded that the villagers of Liujia Village be paid according to the amount of work they had done.

As for the rest, it went into his own pocket.

The reason for all this is that Liujia Village is unable to protect its medicinal herbs.

That money was his fee for the job.

Lu Cheng glanced at Feng Zhan, who was lying unconscious and pale on the bed, and took a deep breath: "Let's go. Didn't he say he wanted to protect the medicinal herbs? Then let me test my strength."

Liu Guicai and his two companions immediately turned their sorrow into joy and wanted to take Lu Cheng back to Liu Family Village right away.

Feng Qi and Feng Ji were also reluctant to miss this opportunity to watch the battle, so they rushed back to Liu Family Village together.

On the way, Lu Cheng learned about the situation of the three.

Liu Wan'er successfully cultivated her inner strength within three months and is currently still training at the escort agency.

After years of diligent practice, Liu Guicai and Liu Chang'an also successfully developed their internal strength.

However, being a step behind leads to being a step behind, and the two of them are much slower than Liu Wan'er. After so much time, they still haven't mastered the four limbs.

Having learned about each other in this way, the six of them soon returned to Liu Family Village.

As soon as the group entered the village, several villagers surrounded them.

Looking at Feng Qi and Feng Ji, they both sighed, "Oh dear, if it really doesn't work out, then let it go."

"We've always made our living by working the land, so it's the same as before, nothing special."

"But it would be bad if something happened to your head镖师 (bodyguard/escort)."

The chubby boy snorted coldly, raising his fist angrily, "What are you talking about? The medicinal field was given to him as a way of repaying a debt of gratitude, it's not like we forced it on him!"

"If he wants to take it back, I have nothing to say."

"But what does it matter now?"

"Fame and fortune have gone into their own pockets, while we've been forced to shed blood and sweat—how can this be fair!"

Several villagers shook their heads repeatedly: "That's the logic, but this matter is inherently difficult to explain, and nobody dares to intervene. What can be done?"

The chubby boy pointed at Lu Cheng, straightened his back suddenly, and bumped his stomach into Liu Chang'an's buttocks, causing him to stumble forward.

Liu Chang'an turned around helplessly, only to be slapped on the shoulder by the chubby boy on tiptoe: "Don't be afraid, we have someone backing us up today!"

Liu Chang'an simply took a few steps to the side.

Several villagers looked at Lu Cheng's halberd and initially felt some confidence.

But then, seeing Lu Cheng's age, that confidence vanished instantly: "Hey, so young, how can this work?"

"No, no, Xu Hong is ruthless. This child is only a few years old. Let it go, let it go."

Even Liu Chang'an and Liu Wan'er couldn't hold back any longer. They shook their heads and said, "Uncles, how do you know it won't work before you've even tried? Why don't you come with us and take a look?"

He turned around, grabbed Lu Cheng, pushed past the others, and headed towards the village.

More and more people gathered along the way, and there were already nearly a hundred people following them.

Meanwhile, those in the courtyard had clearly already received the news.

Liu Xun stood at the courtyard gate with a complicated expression, watching Lu Cheng approach step by step. He took a few steps forward and whispered, "Brother Lu, you must not act rashly. This man has reached the peak of body refinement, and even the three head镖师 (bodyguards) failed to defeat him."

Lu Cheng nodded and was about to walk over when a thought suddenly struck him. He smiled and said, "Clan Chief Liu, if I help you solve this problem, how about giving me 20% of the profits?"

Liu Xun was worrying about how to persuade Lu Cheng when he heard this, his expression froze, and he stared at Lu Cheng in a daze.

After a moment, looking at Liu Guicai and the other two a few steps away, he slowly nodded: "If Brother Lu can resolve this matter, you will be given 20% of the net profit from all the output of the medicinal field in the future."

Lu Cheng stopped smiling, his gaze passing over Liu Xun and looking into the courtyard: "Is this the newly recruited guard of Liu Family Village?"

The man had graying beard and hair, and his slanted eyebrows slanted upwards towards his temples, but they were so thick and bushy that they looked like two brooms stuck on his eyelids.

Beneath his eyebrows, a pair of triangular eyes stared at Lu Cheng, a cold smile playing on his lips: "I knew you'd wasted these thousands of acres of medicinal fields! And now you've sent some greenhorn to his death!"

Lu Cheng ignored the man's words and continued his previous statement, saying, "It's a bit lousy."

The man immediately stopped smiling and said sternly, "Boy, since you're young, I won't hold it against you. Kneel down, kowtow, and apologize, and I'll let you go."

"Otherwise, you'll be carried out of the village on a stretcher today!"

After he finished speaking, he reached out and wiped his hand on the stone table next to him.

Fine white stone powder began to fall from the entire stone surface like flowing water.

Then he slapped the stone powder off his hands and looked at Lu Cheng.

To be precise, it was after seeing Lu Cheng's Cold Star Halberd.

As a martial artist who had reached the peak of body refinement and came from the capital, he was not very clever, but he was certainly knowledgeable.

You can easily tell what that dark red metal is.

A quick estimate would tell that this halberd weighs at least 200 pounds.

Lu Cheng walked all the way without any apparent effort, his strength was truly frightening.

The key is that they are young enough.

Such a person must have a very complicated background!

That's why he kept making threats.

If it were anyone else, he would have already taken action; why would he be performing this acrobatic table-wiping act?

Lu Cheng glanced at the man's actions and then at his face, and said sternly, "Considering your age, I won't hold it against you. Return three times the amount of money you stole from Liu Family Village, and sweep the powder off the ground. Then I'll let you go."

"This is outrageous!" The man finally lost his temper, glaring angrily, and smashed the stone table with his fist. "You're asking for it! Since that's how it is, then stay here."

In terms of background, he has the position of the current Grand Secretary, a high-ranking official of the first rank. There are really few sects in the world that can afford to offend him.

He was just afraid of angering Lu Cheng and making it impossible for him to leave Dongyang County.

But now that Lu Cheng is so assertive, he really can't stand it anymore.

He was, after all, a master of perfected body refinement, someone who could practically roam the world with impunity. Yet, after being humiliated by Lu Cheng time and time again, even a clay figure would be furious.

The man flashed forward and rushed towards Lu Cheng: "Boy, I'll teach you a lesson. From now on, don't act like this outside—ah!"

The man finished speaking almost simultaneously with his words, and his figure flew back, crashing into the stone table he had smashed.

"Now, besides the countertop, we have to pay for the entire stone table!"

The man lay on the rubble, blood trickling from his mouth, staring at Lu Cheng with terror: "Refining... Qi Refining Realm?"

Lu Cheng slowly walked towards the man, stopped in front of him, and said condescendingly, "Tell that lord not to let kindness turn into enmity."

The man looked at Lu Cheng and nodded hurriedly in agreement.

A Qi Refining Realm cultivator is not a problem for the current officials.

But such a young Qi Refining Realm cultivator is a big problem.

Lu Cheng turned around and looked at Liu Xun.

Before he could even speak, Liu Xun immediately said, "Thirty percent net profit!"
