Chapter 357 - 354: Endangering Lives_1
April 22nd, Lu Ping returned from Shuoyang.
Ji Tingyu had already informed Lu Ping of all the needed items. To avoid drawing attention while purchasing in Dadu City, Lu Ping dispatched people to different locations to acquire the goods in batches.
The two agreed to meet on April 26th at Niujiao Mountain when the Bai family sent the second batch of furniture. Ji Tingyu would then stage a robbery.
This way, Ji Tingyu could get the urgently needed items and escalate the bandit problem, giving Bai Qingyan a legitimate excuse for military training.
While Lu Ping was reporting the events of this Shuoyang trip to Bai Qingyan, Bai Jinzhi hurriedly arrived. Hearing that the clan leader, in desperation, had sought Lu Ping’s help and even offered treasures, Bai Jinzhi felt immensely gratified.
"Now they’re willing to yield, but it’s too late!" Bai Jinzhi sneered coldly.
"I accepted all the treasures the clan leader sent. They will be used as funds for this purchase," Lu Ping looked up at Bai Qingyan’s calm face, clenched his fists, and said, "There’s one more thing to report, Eldest Young Lady. After you and Fourth Young Lady left that day, Lord Zhou arrested the clan’s troublemaking descendants! That evening, when the clan leader and others set off for Dadu City... a few of the clan’s young members, drunk, demanded Lord Zhou release the prisoners. When Lord Zhou refused, they smashed things in the street, shouting that if Lord Zhou had the guts, he should arrest them all. The fifth lord’s grandson pushed a little flower-selling girl off the bridge, and the girl’s mother jumped into the river to save her. The result..."
"The result?" Bai Qingyan’s eyes glinted coldly.
