Chapter 143 The Extinct Mosquito(1/2)
Chu Er's carriage entered Lanyang Village, and Ma Wu personally welcomed him into Mengchun Garden.
After opening a bottle of red wine and the two drank a glass together, Chu Er handed the newspaper to Ma Junyang.
Lanyang Village is remote and the newspaper arrived late. Ma Wu was surprised when he read the headlines.
"Is Lu Dongliang from Qianyue Tower pretending to be Lu Dongjun?" Ma Wu was a little unconvinced, "Is this news reliable?"
"Don't worry about whether it is reliable or not. The Lu family is already in chaos. Didn't you always want Paramount before? Now is a great opportunity."
Ma Wu smiled bitterly and said: "If I have the opportunity, Ma won't be able to seize it. How can I have the capital now?"
"You don't have it, but I have it. I'll pay for it, and you'll put in the effort. Let's buy Paramount, and you can help me figure out what price is right."
When it comes to business matters, Ma Wu is more sober than anyone else.
You pay and I contribute?
After all your efforts, who owns the business?
Isn’t it still your business?
After all, this is a trick to trick me into working hard for you.
Ma Wu was not in the mood to make wedding dresses for others, so he declined politely: "You really think highly of me. I am exhausted from running a village. How could I dare to interfere in such a big business?"
Chu Er's chin slightly retracted, his eyes rolled up, he looked at Ma Wu and said: "Fifth Young Master, I am here to invite you to join my team sincerely."
Don't tell me, she looks scary like this.
Ma Wu lit a cigarette and said, "Second Miss, I really feel that I am not good enough."
The room became quiet.
Wen Hongyan licked her forearm, preparing to use force.
This is the countermeasure she and Chu Er have discussed. If Ma Wu disobeys, she will directly use force.
Boom!
There was a knock on the door outside the private room.
Yang Yanzheng was stunned and looked sideways at the door.
He sensed danger.
Ma Wu shouted: "Come in."
Zeng Jincheng and Cao Zhida opened the door and entered the house with two bottles of wine and several dishes.
"Fifth Master, the food and wine you requested are all ready. We saw that the waiter who was serving the food was nervous and his hands were shaking, and we were afraid that he would spill the food and wine, so we brothers brought it in."
Ma Wu quickly stretched out his hand and said, "You two are welcome, sit down and eat together."
The two agreed cheerfully, but neither sat down.
Ma Wu opened another bottle of wine and said to Chu Er: "Second Miss, let's have another drink?"
Chu Er said with a solemn face: "Let's settle things first. It's not too late to drink after we finish things. Are you going to follow me or not?"
Ma Wu shook his head and said, "I really don't have that ability."
Wen Hongyan glared: "If you don't eat the toast, you'll have to drink as a penalty, Ma Wu, you have to go today if you want to go, or if you don't want to go, you have to go!"
"That's not what you say!" Zuo Wu just walked in from the door, "As a rule, guests do as they please. We, the Fifth Master, are the masters of the family. It is not anyone else's turn to decide whether we want to leave or not."
Seeing Zuo Wugang, Wen Hongyan immediately stood in front of Chu Er.
This is the reaction of Jianghu people when they see a strong person.
"Lao Zuo, has the owner changed again so soon? You've lost enough people in the Lu family, and now you show up to the Ma family again?" Wen Hongyan asked provocatively.
Zuo Wugang was not angry: "Unlucky times, I have indeed fallen down in the Lu family, but the fifth master does not despise me. I know this kindness. If anyone wants to touch the fifth master, I will not agree."
Ma Wu advised: "Zuotou, it won't happen. The second lady and I are just chatting. You sit here and have a glass of wine first."
Zuo Wugang smiled and said: "Thank you, Fifth Master, I have been sitting for a day and am tired. I just want to stretch my muscles and bones."
He didn't sit down, but stood happily beside Ma Wu.
This was a warning to Wen Hongyan and Yang Yanzheng that if they wanted to take action, he would be with them at any time.
Really?
There is a high probability that Wen Hongyan cannot beat Zuo Wugang, and Zeng Jincheng and Cao Zhida can also hold off Yang Yanzheng.
This is Ma Wu's territory. If it continues to be wasted, it will be Chu Er who suffers.
Chu Er is a little crazy, but she is not stupid. You can't do anything in this place.
After a long stalemate, Chu Er's face turned white. He stood up and called Wen Hongyan: "Let's go."
Everyone got on the carriage and left Lanyang Village. Ma Wu called Xiao Chuanzi: "Go to Lushui City to find out about the Lu family."
In the afternoon of the next day, Xiaochuanzi came back: "Fifth Master, something happened to the Lu family. Everything was in chaos. Lu Mao, the old man of the Lu family, beat Lu Dongjun first.
Lu Dongjun took people to the train station that night and punished Monkey Qiu again, detaining all of Monkey Qiu's goods!"
"All the goods have been detained? What goods?" Ma Wu didn't expect the matter to be so big.
"Food, send food to Haichiling. Haichiling was hit by a disaster and there was a famine. The Lu family, the Ma family, the He family, and the Chu family all had a lot of business in Haichiling. They were afraid of trouble, so they all went to Haichiling.
Chi Ling delivers food,
Lu Dongjun went crazy, not only deprived Houqiu of food, but also deducted goods from other companies, and he even dared to interfere with this matter!"
"Hai Chi Ling suffered a disaster? Has this incident been reported?" Ma Wu felt that the incident happened too suddenly. The autumn harvest was already over. What disaster happened to Hai Chi Ling?
"I haven't seen the report yet, but I heard that the situation is very serious and many people have starved to death."
Ma Wu rubbed his forehead and murmured: "Chu Huaiyuan, if you still dare to take advantage of Paramount now, you will be stirring up a hornet's nest."
…
In the He family mansion, He Yuxiu threw her shawl on the sofa and cursed: "Lu Dongjun, that son of a bitch, how dare you seize our goods! I have to squeeze out his egg yolks and feed them to flies!"
Last night, Hou Qiu went to the station to deliver goods, but Lu Dongjun blocked him at the door.
Lu Dongjun wanted to kill Monkey Qiu, but Monkey Qiu left an escape route at the station in advance, suffered minor injuries, and ran away.
For unknown reasons, Lu Dongjun withheld all the goods that were to be loaded onto the truck, including those belonging to the Lu family, as well as the He family, Ma family and Chu family.
This batch of goods was food sent to Haichiling for disaster relief. This was a major event for the entire Puo Prefecture, and Lu Dongjun actually took a hand in this matter.
"He is crazy, really crazy." He Haiqin, the head of the He family and He Jiaqing's father, sat on the sofa and shook his head. Even he couldn't figure out what Lu Dongjun was going to do.
He Yuxiu tidied up her clothes: "I don't care if he is crazy or stupid, I will burn down his house now!"
He Haiqin stopped He Yuxiu and said: "Sister, don't worry, I still can't tell what the secret is. I'll ask someone to investigate carefully later. Lu Dongjun is not a smart man, but he is not stupid enough to do this.
Even if he is not afraid of offending the major families, he should not offend people from other states. Why he can cause trouble at the train station needs to be investigated clearly."
…
That night, the entire Lushui City was in a state of panic. The Ma family and the Chu family had prepared their manpower to ask Lu Dongjun for an explanation.
Lu Dongjun waited for them to arrive at the mansion. After two days of commotion, no one dared to come.
Why don't you come?
First, because Lu Dongjun is an eighth-level martial arts cultivator. As long as he is prepared, most people will die if they enter his mansion.
The second reason is that there is another force that has not made any move, and the Guanfang Envoy has not expressed its position.
Lu Dongjun grabbed the things at the train station, and some of the food for the disaster relief was bought by the customs officer with money. What he did was a slap in the face of the customs officer.
But the customs officer showed no reaction to this matter.
This made all the major families extremely confused. Even Monkey Qiu couldn't understand Lu Dongjun's intention.
In the early morning, the reporter arrived at Lu Dongjun’s residence, and Lu Dongjun calmly accepted the interview:
"As for the food at the train station, please rest assured that Mr. Lu will definitely send the food to Haichiling. Not only will there be a lot of food, but I, Lu Dongjun, will also express my gratitude and I will send double the food."
The reporter didn't understand: "Mr. Lu, why do you want to withhold the food?"
"Because it was not sent at the right time," Lu Dongjun explained patiently, "Haichiling was hit by an insect plague. Insects were everywhere. Several batches of relief food were sent before. Is it useful?
Useless!
As soon as the food fell to the ground, it was completely eaten by insects, but the victims did not even get a bite.
Sending food out now is like feeding the worms, and you won't be able to get it when you really need it. This is not the right way to provide disaster relief!"
Haichiling was indeed hit by an insect plague, and it was a very rare insect plague.
This insect is a type of mosquito that specializes in eating food.
In the past, no one believed that there were food-eating mosquitoes in the world. Mosquitoes relied on a needle to suck food, and they did not have the function of eating food at all.
But it did happen.
In Haichiling, a mosquito with black skin and white spots appeared. This mosquito does not drink blood, but only eats food.
Hatched from eggs, the larvae (larvae) of this mosquito feed exclusively on water fleas and can grow up in a day.
