Chapter 2367 Proving One's Innocence
Seeing Lu Yu's tough attitude, Elder Zhong simply stopped talking.
At this time, several more escaping lights happened to arrive, and Elder Zhong went directly towards these escaping lights and started communicating with the visitors.
Obviously, these people are also high-level members of the parliament in Heiliang City, and have a similar status to Elder Zhong.
Lu Yu didn't know the specific content of the exchange between them, but after hearing what Elder Zhong said, these people all looked at Lu Yu in unison, with dignified and cautious gazes in their eyes.
"Isn't this a bit too much?" Fu Jing stood behind Lu Yu and whispered, "Why do you kill people as soon as you come up?"
Lu Yu asked back: "What? Don't you think this person should be killed? If we don't have a trump card, what do you think will happen to us now?"
"It's not that we shouldn't kill..." Fu Jing said, "It's just that our original purpose was to find out the situation here first, right?"
Lu Yu said: "We are testing their situation now. Although the approach is a bit high-profile, only in this way can we quickly test their true and false situation and figure out your specific situation in Heiliang City."
Fu Jing said: "But, aren't you worried about alerting the enemy? We spent so much effort to sneak into the Jinghai Caravan, isn't it just to avoid being noticed by the senior officials here?"
Lu Yu said: "These two things are not in conflict, and our efforts in the Jinghai Caravan have not been in vain. Just like the current situation, what do you think these people on the other side will think of us?"
"...What would you think?"
Lu Yu spread his hands: "I don't know what they will think specifically, but in short they will definitely take the background of our Jinghai Caravan into consideration... If we don't have any identity background, they will definitely cause such a thing. Thinking of what happened in Beixuan District, but if they take our current identity and background into account, they will only think of factional struggle and wonder what the deep meaning behind our doing this is, and whether it is someone's instruction... As for You are worried that the snake will be frightened, which does not exist. In other words, it is not the snake we want to catch. "
Fu Jing was silent for a while, and finally nodded gently, recognizing Lu Yu's inference.
As the saying goes, suspicion breeds ghosts... Elder Zhong also revealed just now that Zhao Wuwang's identity is extremely sensitive and will be involved in complex factional struggles. In this context, they will definitely take Lu Yu's actions just too seriously. Interpretation, in this way, you will not suspect that they have other intentions.
"Then what should we do next?" Fu Jing looked at the senior officials of Heiliang City opposite, "Looking at this, I'm afraid this matter will not go well..."
"Look!" Lu Yu said, "If I guess correctly, they will come to find us soon!"
As soon as he finished speaking, as expected, the senior officials of Heiliang City on the opposite side stopped their discussion, and one of them stepped out from the group and walked towards Lu Yu's direction.
The man was walking like a tiger, and Zhou Shen's cloud energy was condensed. Before he could reach Lu Yu, he had already spoken loudly: "You said you are from the Jinghai Caravan?"
Lu Yu raised his brows slightly and replied, "Not bad."
The man stared at Lu Yu closely and said slowly: "I am Xue Xiang, the leader of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce..."
Lu Yu had a strange look on his face.
Four Seas Chamber of Commerce...
Hearing this familiar name, many long-standing memories were awakened. When I was in the Dali Sword Sect, it was also the Sihai Chamber of Commerce that cooperated closely with Jade Butterfly Peak and fully supported the development of Jade Butterfly Peak.
Lu Yu naturally knew that the current Four Seas Chamber of Commerce had nothing to do with the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce in Huang Tian's world. It was just a coincidence that the two had the same name, but this still made him feel emotional.
But when this expression fell into the eyes of the other party, it was inevitable to be over-interpreted. Xue Xiang frowned and asked in a deep voice: "What? Is there any problem?"
"No..." Lu Yu said quickly, "It turns out to be Xue Longtou, nice to meet you!"
Xue Xiangdao: "More than 70% of the goods of the Jinghai Caravan are distributed by our Sihai Caravan. Our relationship with the Jinghai Caravan can be said to be very close. I am also very familiar with Qin Shihai personally. Your merchant I basically know the main members of the team, but I have never met you.”
Lu Yu smiled and said: "This is not surprising, because this is the first time I have followed a caravan to Heiliang City... As for Qin Shihai, he is my senior brother. Now he has other important matters and did not follow the caravan this time. Get up... So, I am currently mainly responsible for the affairs of the Jinghai Caravan."
"Are you Qin Shihai's junior brother?" A trace of doubt flashed in Xue Xiang's eyes, "I have never heard him mention that there is a junior brother like you before."
Lu Yu said: "This is normal. Everyone in this star field has more or less their own story... Could it be that Xue Longtou will tell me, Senior Brother Qin, all his family background?"
Xue Xiang fell silent, looked at Lu Yu intently for a long time, and finally sighed softly and said: "Do you know that you took the initiative today and made me very passive... I really can't figure out what is going on in your senior brother's gourd. What kind of medicine are you selling? Can you tell me clearly what is the purpose of doing this? "
"Why did Xue Longtou say this?"
"Still pretending?" Xue Xiang snorted coldly: "Everyone knows that among the eight chambers of commerce in Heiliang City, the one that has the closest relationship with your Jinghai caravan is our Sihai Chamber of Commerce. Now that you have suddenly done such a thing, they will naturally think that our Sihai Chamber of Commerce is behind it. This black pot can be said to be inexplicable... Now I also want to figure out this problem, who is behind this matter?"
Lu Yu said: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect my actions to cause such trouble to you. It's indeed my own consideration... However, there is really no one behind this matter. It's completely my own decision, wanting to enforce justice!"
"Enforce justice on behalf of heaven?" Xue Xiang couldn't help but twitch his mouth. No matter how he heard this, he felt awkward.
"That's right." Lu Yu nodded, with a righteous look on his face. "Although Zhao Wuwang is the steward of the Black Liang City Council, he indulges his subordinates to cheat in the city. He himself relies on his high cultivation to bully the weak and kill people... If this continues, how can there be a fair trading environment in Black Liang City? Even if it is just for the Jinghai Caravan to be able to trade freely in the future, I will never tolerate him! Since the top leaders of your council can't make up their minds to get rid of this cancer, I have to do it for you!"
Xue Xiang's expression was a little stunned. This time he looked at Lu Yu for a longer time, as if he wanted to distinguish the truth from the falsehood of his words.
In the end, he shook his head helplessly, with a fierce look in his expression: "Excuse me, this matter is not your turn to worry about it... Since you are unwilling to tell the truth, don't blame me for being ruthless. In order to prove the innocence of our Sihai Chamber of Commerce, I can only kill my relatives for the sake of justice!"
