Chapter 102 Ambush
The Hall Master and Deputy Hall Master are not allowed to attend the meetings of the Advisory Pavilion.
However, these gang members were still inevitably nervous in front of Lu Lin.
After Lu Lin finished speaking, he waited for them to speak, but for a moment, the hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
After waiting a short while, Lu Lin saw that no one was speaking, so he coughed twice.
"Ahem, everyone, please speak freely. Don't be nervous. I am your gang leader, not your enemy."
"You can offer any suggestions you like. If they are useful, I will adopt them immediately and arrange for their implementation."
"If it's useless, I won't blame you. Let's just treat it as a casual chat, have a laugh and that's it."
"Aunt Luo, when I saw you yesterday afternoon, you were talking non-stop with other people, why are you so quiet now?"
"Uncle Jiang, you're so old, you're one of the elders in the gang, is there anything you're dissatisfied with?"
"Little Sun, I heard you're getting engaged next month. Who are the Nanfang family? How about I, the gang leader, go and show my support for you on your engagement day?"
"Huh?! Really?"
No one else reacted, but Sun Xiaohua's eyes lit up and she stood up.
"Of course, you're the most beautiful girl in our gang. I'd love to see which guy will be able to snatch away our gang's most beautiful girl."
Sun Xiaohua is indeed good-looking, with a slender figure and full of energy, but her skin is a bit dark from years of fishing.
"Boss, it wasn't someone who picked me, it was me..."
Even though Sun Xiaohua has a generous personality, she couldn't help but become shy when talking about this.
The atmosphere immediately became lively.
Many people have indeed offered a lot of suggestions.
Some people said the location of the fish stall was unreasonable, so Lu Lin asked where would be a better place to put it and whether they should add more counter space.
Some people said that the noodle shops outside were too expensive. Although ordinary gang members had a salary, they would not have enough money to support their families if they ate out every day. Lu Lin immediately decided to open a canteen.
Some people said that the interest rates on loans within the gang were too high, and even if it was borrowed from their own people, the interest could double in a month. Lu Lin discussed with everyone that in the future, the interest rate on loans within the gang would be capped at 20%.
Some people said that the clothes distributed by the gang were no good, they would get dirty after only two days of wear, and they were difficult to wash. Lu Lin also asked the older folks and prepared to change the fabric and style of the clothes next.
Some people also said that the gang's foreign trade has never been managed. The dozen or so fish market stalls all buy and sell their own goods, and they often have to fight price wars with their own people.
After some deliberation, Lu Lin decided to take over the fish stall business from the gang and establish a new branch specifically to handle the matter.
Even though it was the first meeting, Lu Lin felt that everyone's suggestions were very useful, and before he knew it, it was lunchtime.
Lu Lin waved his hand and invited the restaurant's chef to come and cook for him, so that he could eat and drink with these ordinary gang members.
Before the meal was even finished, everyone was already acting like family, and quite a few uncles and aunties even wanted to introduce Lu Lin to potential partners.
After the meeting, the ordinary members of the gang dispersed.
Lu Lin then distributed the compiled suggestions to the various hall masters and arranged for them to carry them out.
"Sigh, I came here to suppress bandits, but I ended up becoming the leader of the river bandits."
In other words, the kidney's refining process was progressing slowly; otherwise, Lu Linzhen felt he would be ruined.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Under Lu Lin's arrangement, the four hall masters' suggestions were quite effective.
After walking around, Lu Lin praised them highly.
The fifth church was also established, which was called the Golden Church, and it was mainly responsible for trade and financial matters.
Lu Lin inspected his territory and was pleased to see smiles on the faces of the fishermen.
It just so happened that a member of the gang ran a teahouse nearby. When he saw Lu Lin, he invited him to have a bowl of tea, and Lu Lin agreed with a smile.
As Lu Lin entered the teahouse, he sensed something was amiss.
The teahouse, which was usually bustling with people, was unusually quiet at this moment.
Besides the members busy brewing tea, there were also two tables of guests.
There were four people at the table: one old man and three young men. They wore straw hats and even when drinking tea, they deliberately covered their faces.
The two people at the table were a husband and wife. Their weapons were placed within easy reach, and they would occasionally glance at the four people opposite them.
The aura of the people at these two tables was as deep and unfathomable as the ocean; they were no ordinary martial artists.
A master of the Refining Realm?!
Lu Lin suddenly had a thought.
Looking at the old man and the three young men, if I'm not mistaken, they are Guan Shanyue and his three disciples from Langtao Martial Arts School.
That couple must be Officer Lei and his wife.
Unexpectedly, although the Fisherman's Martial Arts School did not produce any disciples at the Five Organs level, the master's wife was a master of internal organ refining, a fact that probably no one could have imagined.
Four refine one filth, one refines three filths, and the last one is unknown.
It seems that Lu Lin has been put in a certain death situation today.
Little did they know that Lu Lin had already advanced and was now a master of the first level of cultivation.
"Waaah—"
Boil the water in the teapot.
The gang members hurriedly brought over tea, smiling and saying, "Boss, be careful, it's hot!"
Just then, the group of generals threw the boiling teapot directly at Lu Lin.
"snort!"
Lu Lin slapped the teapot away, and immediately the gang members, each holding a dagger, lunged at Lu Lin's chest.
Lu Lin neither dodged nor avoided, but reached out and grabbed the gang member's wrist.
He easily disarmed the dagger.
Backhand.
Bloodshed.
The gang members collapsed in disbelief.
He was also at the peak of the Bone Refining level, so how come he couldn't even withstand one move from Lu Lin?
"kill!"
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
The teapot had just fallen when the gang member died.
Lei Dangtou and his wife drew their swords and attacked Lu Lin.
Guan Shanyue and his apprentice over there also took off their straw hats and rushed towards Lu Lin.
"These are renowned martial arts schools in the Clear Water Camp, and their masters are at least at the Dirty Refining level. How could they secretly ambush me and try to assassinate me just to cover for me?"
"Hmph, you think you can kill me like this?"
Lu Lin turned around, dodging the first wave of attacks from the group.
The group's weapons smashed all the tables and chairs where Lu Lin was sitting.
Lu Lin drew his precious sword.
"Now, it's your turn to die."
brush.
He slashed at Guan Shanyue with his sword.
He's the oldest and the weakest, so naturally he'll pick on the weakest one.
Clang.
Lu Lin didn't expect that Guan Shanyue would block this move.
Guan Shanyue took seven or eight steps back, his blood surging and his face flushed.
"Chief Lu is incredibly strong."
"Hehe, there are even bigger ones."
Just as Lu Lin was about to continue his attack, Lei Dangtou launched a preemptive strike, forcing him to abandon Guan Shanyue and block Lei Dangtou's attack.
Ding.
The two knives clashed.
Lei was shocked; Lu Lin was indeed very strong.
Lu Lin was even more surprised.
He could block Lei Dangtou's blade and the force it brought, but a surge of Lei Dangtou's blood and energy flowed into his body through his hand.
"Qi and Blood Attack!"
Lu Lin quickly circulated his qi and blood, and neutralized the poison when it reached his elbow.
After carefully sensing Lei Dangtou's strength and resilience of qi and blood, Lu Lin was taken aback.
This guy is at least at the level of refining the three viscera, so why is his qi and blood so weak?
