Mysterious World: I Have a Lost Heavenly Court

After Lu Changqing's simple and straightforward display of strength.

The mine briefly returned to normal.

Huang Hu, who was originally arrogant, and his two followers who were at the Skin Refining stage, completely put away their arrogance at this moment.

He bowed and scraped, guiding Lu Changqing towards the courtyard ahead.

Huang Hu would glance at Lu Changqing's expressionless face every now and then, then quickly lower his head again.

He was shocked by the strength of this young master who was not very old and had a reputation for being lazy.

But they weren't truly convinced from the bottom of their hearts.

Because of the Lu family's situation, all the families in Heishan County with a bit of background and influence knew about it.

He didn't think that this kid's personal strength alone was enough to defeat the Zheng family.

"You're powerful now, but once you get to the courtyard and meet those family elders, will you still be able to make a move?"

Lu Changqing didn't know the specifics of Huang Hu's thoughts, but he could roughly guess them.

Reasoning with this kind of thug is useless, so he chooses to throw a punch.

It was quick, efficient, and simple.

Logically speaking, if the goal is to establish authority, then killing would be more effective.

But the situation is special now; if someone is killed, the Zheng family might have more room to maneuver.

Delaying the mining progress is detrimental in every way.

One should not stand out just for the sake of standing out.

more importantly!

Lu Changqing kept Huang Hu, an old dog with decent strength but who hadn't yet secured a high position, because he was still useful.

Lu Erwa, standing behind him, could not hide his shock.

Watching the back of the Third Young Master walking ahead, Lu Erwa couldn't help but swallow hard.

When the family had an incident, he felt that the third young master had a certain aura... a kind of aura that could control the situation.

But at that time, everyone, from top to bottom, respected his identity.

To put it bluntly, it means respecting China and Japan.

And now Lu Changqing has just made a move with extremely swift and powerful speed.

In an instant, Lu Erwa realized:

The Third Young Master in front of us is not really the useless person that has been rumored to be all these years!

An absurd yet plausible guess popped into his mind: Could it be that the master had kept the third young master in hiding his talents for so many years just for this day?

Lu Erwa couldn't help but look around.

However, they discovered that the young master's personal maid, Qingyun, showed no expression and remained calm, as if it were only natural for the young master to have such strength.

Manager Wu Lin's eyes clearly showed some surprise, but he was able to maintain a normal composure.

Thus, Lu Erwa, who had been itching to say something, swallowed the words he was about to utter.

The same is true.

Qingyun was not surprised at all by the young master's display of strength.

She even knew very well that the young master's true trump card had not yet been revealed.

That night, the speed at which the young master erupted and the methods he used to suppress the evil shrine were all imprinted in her mind.

Her only worry now is this: the Zheng family members are not as easily intimidated as Huang Hu.

If the Zheng family really makes trouble, does it mean they really intend to use Wu Lin's strength to forcefully suppress them?

Wu Lin, who was standing beside Lu Changqing, thought the same thing.

Violence and force can temporarily suppress the situation.

But what truly generates revenue and sustains it in the long run is still profit and public sentiment.

When there are sufficient benefits, people are united, and even beatings and scoldings cannot drive them away.

However, if either of these two is missing, the team will be difficult to manage.

The Lu family is now facing the latter situation.

If the Third Young Master were to later order him to attack everyone...

Wu Lin pondered for a moment...

He couldn't come up with an answer.

He was a military general, but not good at using his brain.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been taken advantage of when he was young.

But if the Third Young Master asks him to do something, he will still do it.

However... we need to nip it in the bud! Eliminate them completely!

Later, the blame was placed on the evil spirits.

We cannot attribute all the dirty work to the surname "Lu".

Thinking about it this way, Wu Lin felt that replacing all the senior executives might also be a solution.

With this thought in mind, the blood and qi in his body began to accelerate slowly, and he was already in a state of being ready to go on a killing spree at any moment.

...

"squeak."

Huang Hu pushed open the courtyard gate.

In the courtyard, there are several tables on the left, right, and front sides.

There are chairs next to each table.

There were people sitting in the seats.

Those sitting in the chairs were all quite old, and they all looked to be of the uncle or grandfather generation.

Behind them stood one or two younger people.

A quick glance revealed about ten in total.

After the courtyard gate opened, everyone who was eating sunflower seeds, chatting and laughing, or drinking tea stopped what they were doing and turned their attention to us.

Lu Changqing, unfazed by the presence of everyone, strode across the threshold and went inside.

"Third Young Master!"

"Second Brother!"

At this moment, the two people standing under the eaves and behind the crowd opposite him, with anxious expressions as if they had seen a savior, quickly walked up to Lu Changqing and greeted him respectfully.

Lu Changqing recognized the two people in front of him.

Lu Erwa's right and left hands when Zheng Xiu was killed that day.

At this moment, the two looked at Lu Changqing as if they had seen their pillar of support. They really wanted to say something, but seemed to be hindered by the environment and could not open their mouths.

Lu Changqing smiled and nodded: "Yes, no need to say anything, just wait over there."

The two nodded and followed behind Lu Changqing.

"Third Young Master."

At this moment, among the five people sitting on chairs in the courtyard, the man on the right with a full beard, a body over two meters tall, and an imposing appearance, stood up and took the initiative to greet Lu Changqing.

At this point, the other four uncles sitting in the chairs each called out terms that elders would use, such as "nephew" or "Changqing."

Lu Changqing ignored the others, only looking at the bearded man, and said with a smile, "Uncle Chen Li, it's been a long time. I haven't been able to visit you lately because I haven't been feeling well."

"I'll visit sometime later if I have the chance."

Upon hearing this, Chen Li smiled and said, "Okay!"

After the brief conversation ended, Lu Changqing walked towards the chair at the bottom of the steps, directly opposite the courtyard gate.

Sitting in the chair was a middle-aged man who looked very wealthy, with several jade rings on his thumbs.

His temples were slightly gray, he had a goatee, and he looked very healthy. He held a pipe in his left hand and looked quite content.

Zheng Xiangqian, the second-in-command of the Zheng family.

It was also the Second Master mentioned by Zheng Feng, the prisoner whom Wu Lin had captured after sending the evil spirit shrine out of the city.

Lu Changqing approached.

Zheng Xiangqian looked Lu Changqing up and down, then took a puff of his pipe and said with a smile, "Changqing, what brings you here to replace your brother?"

Facing this old man with whom he already had a family feud, Lu Changqing did not lose his composure. Instead, he smiled and said, "Uncle Xiangqian, as a direct descendant of the Lu family, my father's own son, I am representing the Lu family to come to the mine. Do you think that's wrong?"

He emphasized the words "representing the Lu family" slightly.

Upon hearing this, everyone present immediately sensed a change in the atmosphere and secretly glanced at Lu Changqing and Zheng Xiangqian, assessing the situation.

Zheng Xiangqian was clearly taken aback by these barbed words.

It's not that I don't know how to respond.

But what they didn't expect was that Lu Changqing would say such a thing.

In his memory, Lu Changqing was a rich, silly boy who would only ask for money and banknotes whenever he saw him.

Zheng Xiangqian chuckled: "Uncle, I didn't mean that. I was just curious..."

Lu Changqing didn't give the other person a chance to lead the conversation, and directly interrupted, "Whether you're curious or not, I'm here anyway."

With a single sentence that silenced the other party, Lu Changqing launched his offensive, seeking to seize the initiative:

"Also, Uncle Xiangqian, thank you for staying here and maintaining the mine when the Lu family didn't send anyone."

"But now that I'm here, you can move aside."

Zheng Xiangqian's expression changed slightly. He hadn't expected Lu Changqing to be so blunt!

It was even more aggressive than the Japanese and mainland Chinese forces.

At this moment, a disciple behind Zheng Xiangqian, who appeared to be in his thirties and wore a sword at his waist, frowned and spoke:

"Young master, the Second Master is, after all, your elder. How can you be so disrespectful?"

Lu Changqing suddenly looked up, his expression changing abruptly as he stared intently at the other person. "Does a servant like you have the right to speak when the master is in charge?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Changqing stepped forward within five steps!

This time, he used all his strength and secretly used two parts of pure Yang power!

The Five Yin Falling God Fist, which had long been stimulated by the moss, was now incredibly powerful, with a fierce and chilling wind!

In addition, Lu Changqing's attack was sudden and from a very close distance.

This punch was too much for the disciples, who were also at the Bone Refining stage, to react to!

The moment he came to his senses, a huge fist had already landed on his face!

"Bang!"

His eyeballs bulged out, his nose collapsed, and his face was sunken in several degrees.

"Thump."

The retainer collapsed to the ground, his life cut off.

The entire audience was stunned!

Huang Hu, who had led Lu Changqing there, trembled when he saw Lu Changqing suddenly attack and kill one person in an instant.

The fantasy that Lu Changqing would be disappointed after entering the courtyard vanished instantly, as if someone had poured cold water on him.

His pupils contracted as he looked at Lu Changqing's retreating figure, his blood-stained fist retracted, and he felt only relief.

But shock echoed in his mind, "He... he actually dared to kill someone..."

Apart from Qingyun and Wu Lin, everyone present had the same thought in their minds.

Lu Changqing's expression remained unchanged as he turned to look at another retainer behind Zheng Xiangqian, whose face showed a mixture of tension and panic, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"It's very disrespectful of the servants to speak freely when the master is speaking."

"You have the nerve to tell me about insubordination..."

"Are you right?"

This retainer is slightly stronger and is clearly close to reaching the threshold of blood transfusion.

Therefore, Wu Lin unleashed his imposing aura, pressing down on the man.

The retainer's expression changed drastically, and he immediately gritted his teeth and said, "This young master is right."

Lu Changqing glanced sideways, his eyes lighting up slightly as he looked at Wu Lin.

Uncle Wu is very cooperative!

Wu Lin turned his gaze, their eyes met, and there was no change in their expressions, but everything was understood without words.

At this moment, Lu Changqing looked down at Zheng Xiangqian, whose expression was ugly and whose look was full of doubt and uncertainty, and smiled:

"Uncle Xiangqian, I'm here at the mine on behalf of the Lu family and my father. Shouldn't he be sitting in the main chair?"

Zheng Xiangqian wanted to say something more, but in the end, he held back his anger, stood up, and walked to the other side.

At the same time, he had a million questions in his mind.

How could Lu Changqing be so powerful! He instantly killed a Bone Refining Realm expert!!

Thus, Lu Changqing tossed his robes, making a loud noise, and sat down in the main seat with an air of authority.

At this moment, the uncles and elders who were sitting there, except for Chen Li, all showed a warm smile on their faces.

"The chair is indeed meant for Master Lu."

"What the Third Young Master said is not wrong."

"..."

Hearing the flattery from those around him, Lu Changqing simply smiled and remained silent.

"A bunch of old fogies, all thinking about sacrificing their own interests..."

Lu Changqing didn't mince words or engage in excessive politeness. After a few simple remarks, he directly stated his purpose: "I'm here today to handle three matters."

"We need to meet the quota the mining farm needs to deliver by the end of the year!"

"We need a sufficient share!"

"Also, the quota needs to be sufficient!"

He looked around at the elderly people present, making eye contact with each of them, and then said, "I've finished speaking. Who agrees?"

The bearded Chen Li immediately raised his hand: "Third Young Master, the Chen family's share will not be less than what is due."

Lu Erwa immediately raised his hand: "Our Lu family will take responsibility for just as much as we do."

Apart from the two of them, even the old guys who had just been flattering them remained silent.

For a family to accomplish anything, it would be necessary to have a truly large and numerous household with hundreds or even thousands of servants.

It has reached the scale of a "village".

Otherwise, it will inevitably require the assistance of outsiders.

This includes many matters such as management, recruitment of personnel, and distribution of detailed benefits.

That's how it is right now.

The Lu family is indeed a family that specializes in iron pipes.

However, there are only a limited number of talented people, and even fewer who can be cultivated to be loyal and capable.

Starting from the generation of the Lu family patriarch, who was also the original owner's great-grandfather.

So they wanted the county government to assign this "iron official" title to them.

We must keep the plate full and also give the people below leftovers and soup.

At first, everything was fine.

But as time goes by, the old generation's friendships and interests will gradually fade, and when the new generation takes over, their thoughts will be different.

Especially when you see the leading family facing some difficulties...

It would be abnormal if a family or gang with its own abilities and skills didn't put in some effort.

In other words, there is no force that is absolutely loyal.

Even if the organization's leaders are absolutely loyal, those within the organization will still push them to go further.

Lu Changqing understood this, so... he spoke up:

"Then why didn't the others meet their quotas for this year?"

"Uncle Xiangqian, why don't you start by explaining the reason?"

Zheng Xiangqian looked very uncomfortable, after all, he had been publicly humiliated.

Moreover, although Lu Changqing's words contained some sophistry, they were still reasonable if you put it into words. He was really suffering in silence.

So, when it came to this point, he immediately spoke up as if to vent his frustration:

"What the common people say about the mine is a cold, but we don't know the specifics."

"No matter how well it's hidden, no matter how deeply it's concealed, if the miners are frightened, how can we get the rest of the work done?"

"What if something else happens?"

Lu Changqing answered almost the instant the man finished speaking: "There were 369 miners, and 18 of them were involved in the accident."

"Of these, nine are servants from my Lu family, three are skilled fighters from Uncle Chen Li's family, and the rest, how many are left for you uncles and elders?"

"Just because we're short a few people, it can't be done?"

Say this.

Everyone, including Wu Lin and Qing Yun, looked at Lu Changqing differently.

Qingyun's eyes flickered, and her face flushed slightly, showing that she was very excited.

So it turns out that the young master's previous instructions for her to report on the mine's situation every day and to have a duplicated roster were useful!

Zheng Xiangqian hadn't expected that Lu Changqing had prepared so thoroughly.

At this moment, his expression and eyes became serious.

He no longer simply looked down on the former fool in front of him, nor did he regard him as a fool who only knew how to use his fists.

When questioned, he replied with equal sarcasm: "Changqing, you must know the saying: 'Public opinion is a fearsome thing, a tiger in the sky,' right?"

"Once this rumor spreads, the work won't be as simple as you make it out to be."

"Not to mention the miners who were injured or killed earlier."

Lu Changqing responded almost instantly again: "Have the compensation payments for miner injuries and deaths been sufficient?"

Zheng Xiangqian was taken aback and didn't say anything.

Lu Erwa understood immediately and replied, "Those who are injured will be given two hundred taels of silver. Those with elderly or young family members will receive an additional compensation of fifty taels per person."

"For those who have died, five hundred taels of silver will be provided, with the compensation remaining unchanged based on the family's circumstances."

"But now, actually, only three miners have actually died... The number is not that many at all. Sometimes, the number of casualties in mining accidents is actually much higher."

Lu Changqing didn't look at Zheng Xiangqian, but instead looked at Chen Li: "Uncle Chen Li, is the amount you received on your end likely to match?"

Chen Li nodded: "Not a penny less."

Lu Changqing then looked at his other three uncles.

The three of them forced a smile and nodded in agreement.

Finally, Lu Changqing looked at Zheng Xiangqian and said, "I won't comment on whether this amount of money is large or small."

"But from what I saw when I arrived at the mine... they are willing to work."

"Why is it that once Uncle Xiangqian comes up with it, he can't do the job anymore?"

Zheng Xiangqian's expression changed again, and he was about to speak.

But this time, Lu Changqing didn't give him a chance to speak: "Since Uncle Zheng said that the people you gathered can't do it."

"Fine, then let's just not do it."

"Now I can make the request, and I'll have someone do it."

"As the saying goes, a generous reward will always bring forth brave men. I refuse to believe that we can't find people willing to do the hard work when mining!"

"Wait!" At this moment, one of the three uncles (besides Zheng Xiangqian and Chen Li) raised his hand and said, "Third Young Master, this really needs to be discussed!"

"Many skilled workers at the mine, including those specializing in mineral testing, safety maintenance, and vein searching, are from Zheng Bojia's team."

"Your words will severely damage the environment of the mine!"

Every industry has its own specialized tasks.

Lu Changqing was aware of this.

But he did not respond to these words, and instead looked at his two uncles.

"Uncles, regarding this potential trouble, do you have anyone in your family or under your command who can handle it?"

"If so, we should cultivate him vigorously and have him take over the position currently held by Uncle Xiangqian's family, oh, and this uncle's family."

At this, the eyes of the two uncles who had been silent lit up.

They exchanged a glance but remained silent.

Lu Changqing asked Chen Li, who had a thick beard, again, "Uncle Chen Li, do you have any capable people in your family?"

At this moment, the way Chen Li looked at Lu Changqing was completely different from when he first entered the sect!

He originally only respected Lu Ba, who had promoted him.

Therefore, they gave Lu Changqing, this young man, a lot of face.

But now, Lu Changqing's strength, decision-making, and the aura he displayed when facing these old guys had completely won him over!

More importantly... now it seems the family's opportunity has arrived!!

Chen Li immediately replied, "Yes!"

"Although we still lag behind Zheng Bo's manpower in terms of ability!"

"But I'm confident that, working day and night, I can get them quickly mastering the necessary skills! As long as the Third Young Master pays enough and doesn't skimp on the fees, I can confidently say I'll complete the task you've given us!"

Lu Changqing shouted, "Good!"

"What my father said in the letter he sent me last night was indeed true!"

"Uncle Chen Li is truly a trusted confidant!"

"Once he finishes his business in the prefectural city and returns in half a month, I will definitely do my best to inform Uncle Chen Li of his hard work and achievements, so that Uncle Chen Li can receive even more generous gifts!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Lin couldn't help but glance at Lu Changqing with a silent look.

Lu Erwa and the others exclaimed in surprise.

"The master and mistress are coming back!!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Li's honest and simple dark face flushed red, and he replied in a low voice, "I will certainly do my best!"

At this moment, Lu Changqing looked at his two uncles, whose eyes were shining but who were still hesitant, and asked, "Uncles, are the men under your command still able to work?"

At this point, neither of them could verify the authenticity of the letter.

But Lu Changqing, the lazy young master who was attacked and nearly died, has undergone a tremendous transformation, and that is true.

This showed them the resilience of the Lu family as they stood up again.

Because of this, when it comes to making statements, they can no longer play both sides and hedge their bets.

"Third Young Master, no problem!"

"That's certainly possible! If Lord Zheng's side is short-handed, we can fill the gaps."

The moment the two said those words, the situation instantly reversed.

The uncle who had just spoken up for Zheng Xiangqian, without any shame, immediately said with a fawning smile, "Third Young Master, if Uncle Zheng's family is short of manpower, I can grit my teeth and fill in a few."

"Old Gui, you...!" Zheng Xiangqian was furious, but in the end he did not lose his composure and maintained his dignity.

Thus, after Lu Changqing's brutal actions and simple words, the situation in the courtyard changed from two observers and two enemies to one enemy and five allies.

At least for now.

"Uncle Xiangqian, if there are no major problems, your men can withdraw from the mine tonight," Lu Changqing said with a smile.

Zheng Xiangqian opened his mouth, his beard trembling slightly, but finally lowered his voice considerably, "I'll talk to the people below later, and it should still be possible to do it."

Lu Changqing smiled with satisfaction: "That works too."

"If you encounter any difficulties, Uncle Xiangqian can just come to me directly."

"Now that we've finished discussing business, I'm a bit tired, so I won't keep you uncles for dinner."

Once the order to leave was given, these people all stood up.

They were no longer as lax as they had been when Lu Changqing first entered the room.

After everyone bowed, they took their leave.

At this moment, Lu Changqing spoke up: "Huang Hu, and those two of you, stay here."

Huang Hu, who was standing at the door intending to leave first, trembled and fear showed in his eyes.

The bloody corpse was still behind Lu Changqing's chair...

Huang Hu looked at Zheng Xiangqian with pleading eyes.

But Zheng Xiangqian was also frustrated and upset, so he saw her eyes but pretended not to notice.

Wu Lin stepped forward to make sure everyone in the courtyard was far away after they had all left quickly.

They closed the courtyard gate only after they knew their words would not be heard.

Huang Hu, along with his two henchmen, walked up to Lu Changqing with smiles that were barely holding on, almost as if they were crying.

"Third, Third Young Master..."

Lu Changqing's expression returned to calm as he looked up at the other person. "I really want to kill you."

Huang Hu's legs trembled, and a hot flow almost leaked from his crotch.

"Three, three, three..."

He trembled for a long time, unable to speak.

Because Wu Lin was nearby, he kept putting pressure on him secretly.

The two henchmen behind Huang Hu felt like they were suffocating.

"But I didn't kill you; I kept you alive because you're useful."

Lu Changqing changed the subject and said, "Now, I'll give you a chance."

Huang Hu took a deep breath and knelt down abruptly. "Third Young Master! I want to live! I want to live!"

Had he known Lu Changqing was so powerful and ruthless, he would never have greeted him with the same attitude he had initially displayed!

He's now kicking himself for it.

Lu Changqing chuckled and shook his head: "No, the opportunity I'm talking about is for you to change the word 'gang' in your position as a leader in the Black Tiger Gang to 'gang'."

He raised his eyes and looked at the two Skin Refining Realm followers who were also kneeling down with Huang Hu. "It's not impossible for you two to take over Huang Hu's current position as hall master."

The brief words instantly reversed the tense atmosphere that Huang Hu and his two henchmen had been in, from feeling like they were about to suffocate.

Amidst the ups and downs, they were somewhat dazed.

"Your gang leader has latched onto the Zheng family's coattails, which is why he was able to rise from an unknown small gang to one of the top gangs in the north of the city."

"If you, Huang Hu, could manage to curry favor with the Lu family..."

"The tiger in the Black Tiger Gang could very well be the tiger in the Yellow Tiger Gang."

Lu Changqing lowered his body, moving even closer to Huang Hu: "What do you think?"

Huang Hu then realized what was happening.

Looking at Lu Changqing's handsome yet imposing features, he swallowed hard, his throat dry and tight once more.

The "tiger" in Black Tiger Gang is also the "tiger" in Yellow Tiger Gang...

Huang Hu spoke haltingly, "This, this, is indeed very good..."

Lu Changqing then asked, "Do you have any relatives? Do you have any children?"

Huang Hu, driven by his gang instincts, decided to lie, but then he realized that if the Lu family really wanted to investigate, he couldn't hide it.

So he honestly replied, "Yes."

"One older brother, one younger brother, and two younger sisters."

"I have two children, the eldest is a daughter, and the younger one is a son."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Changqing threw out another huge pie in the sky, making him almost dizzy.

"After taking control of the Black Tiger Gang, the Zheng family member might be able to change his surname to Huang."

"A tremendous opportunity is before you. The choice is yours."

Huang Hu felt dizzy.

After a long pause, he took a deep breath and immediately kowtowed three times.

Then, the posture of kneeling on both knees to beg for mercy was changed to kneeling on one knee.

One hand rested on his knee, the other clenched into a fist and hanging down on the ground, his voice slightly hoarse.

Hidden within it are ambition, desire, and excitement...

"Huang Hu is willing to serve the Third Young Master faithfully!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his two henchmen understood what he meant.

There are times when one has no other choice but to do it.

But more importantly, it is Lu Changqing's current abilities and strength, as well as the greater expectations and broader future he has set for them, that make them willing to submit.

"I am willing to serve the Third Young Master faithfully!"

"I'd go through fire and water for the Third Young Master!!"

Lu Changqing remained silent.

The courtyard suddenly fell silent.

A suffocating and oppressive atmosphere gradually accumulated among the three of them.

At a certain moment, Lu Changqing spoke in a relaxed tone: "From now on, we're all one of us. Get up."

Upon hearing this, Huang Hu and his companions finally relaxed, their nerves, which had been on edge.

But the pressure from Lu Changqing remains.

After standing up, they still stood obediently, bowing in submission.

"Inform me immediately of any further tasks the Zheng family asks you to perform. The specific form doesn't matter, but accuracy and speed are crucial!"

"Handled properly, the Black Tiger Gang will soon be yours, all three of you!"

Huang Hu clasped his hands in a fist salute and said sternly, "Don't worry, Third Young Master!"

Only then did Lu Changqing wave his hand, signaling them to leave.

At this point, everyone left in the courtyard was truly one of their own.

Lu Erwa stared at Lu Changqing with a shocked expression and wide-eyed disbelief.

It seemed to be the first time I had met this third young master.

Qingyun was equally excited. If there hadn't been outsiders present, she would have jumped up and clapped her hands in celebration of the young master's performance!

Wu Lin's eyes, when they looked at Lu Changqing, were also full of deep meaning.

If he hadn't experienced Lu Changqing's situation before.

He even suspected that the lazy third young master had been replaced.

Lu Changqing completely relaxed, leaning back in his chair and gently rubbing his temples.

It looks simple, but in reality, the tone and expression in the conversation must be flawless, which is really tiring.

Seeing this, Qingyun quickly stepped forward and massaged his temples.

At this moment, Lu Erwa couldn't hold back any longer, exclaiming with immense joy, "Third Young Master!"

"Master really did send you a message last night!"

"Was he back in two weeks?"

Lu Changqing hesitated, then remained silent.

Wu Lin then asked another crucial question: "Young Master, are you really going to make a major personnel change?"

Lu Changqing shook his head: "It can't be changed."

His words were purely fabricated, a ploy to manipulate public opinion and Lu Ba's influence, meant to deceive people.

Regardless of whether those old Bitdens had any doubts.

As long as there is even the slightest possibility and enough benefit, they will fight amongst themselves.

As long as there is competition, the mine can continue operating smoothly for now, buying time.

In Lu Changqing's understanding, or rather, this is the truth:

All unified dynasties, or particularly powerful forces, are difficult to dismantle from the outside.

To solve it, and them.

We must break through from the inside out.

Just like the Lu family.

If everyone in the mine were to collude with each other.

The same applies to the Zheng family.

What big trouble could a tiny blood zombie be?

It's all about money and time!

At most, we'll forgo one or two years' worth of net profit to compensate the imperial court. Once the blood zombie problem is resolved, the profits will come back sooner or later.

The tricky part isn't the trick.

It's the human heart that's driven by self-interest.

This is also the important reason why, while offering benefits to those old Bi Deng, he also kept Huang Hu, who was already considered a member of the Zheng family.

Much information cannot be fully grasped through force.

Otherwise, he would be the leader of a lousy local gang.

Even if we kill them, what difference will it make?

Upon hearing this, Wu Lin admitted that he couldn't keep up with the Third Young Master in terms of thinking.

"So, what are your plans for the future, young master?"

Lu Changqing gritted his teeth and inhaled sharply, "Let me think, let me think... delaying tactics are indeed not a long-term solution."

After about ten breaths, he exhaled deeply, his eyes focused.

"The strange troubles at the mine definitely need to be resolved."

"The Zheng family, a destabilizing factor that is hindering things, must also be eliminated!"

"Otherwise, this hangnail will keep recurring!"
