The rise of the poor

Chapter 2311 Great Joy, Great Joy!

The cold, icy rain slapped haphazardly against Luo Longwen's face, mirroring his own feelings. After countless hardships and spending tens of thousands of taels of silver, all his efforts had been in vain. It seemed the task assigned by Yan Shifan was beyond completion, and a deep sorrow welled up within him.

How can I face Donglou now? I made a big promise when I came here, but the result was that damned Zhu Pingan!

How kind Heaven has been to you! How unjust Heaven has been to me, Luo Longwen!

Since learning the devastating news of the voting results yesterday, Luo Longwen has been plunged into disappointment, resentment, helplessness, and resentment.

Just then, the door opened, and Wang San walked in, his face beaming with joy and his steps light.

That damned Wang San!

You've taken so much money from me, I don't expect you to do anything for me, but you can't be this happy when I'm sad!

Luo Longwen mentally drew circles around Wang San's name.

"Brother Luo, great news! Great news!!!" Wang San shouted to Luo Longwen as soon as he entered the door.

"Great joy?! Great joy my ass!" When Luo Longwen heard Wang San shout "Great joy," he almost couldn't help but break down.

Human joys and sorrows are not shared, and to Luo Longwen, Wang San's great joy only sounded noisy.

"Great news! Did you capture a county town?!" No, capturing a county town wouldn't make you this happy. It seems you captured a prefecture city and looted a lot of silver, huh? Heh, great news for you, but what's so great about it for me?

Luo Longwen suppressed his anger, forced a smile, and clasped his hands in congratulations, "Hehe, congratulations, Third Master, congratulations on your conquest!"

"It's not congratulations to us, it's congratulations to you," Wang San shook his head, looked at Luo Longwen, and had a bright smile on his face.

"Congratulations to me?!" Luo Longwen was stunned, his defenses crumbled, he couldn't help but break down. I'm already in this state, what are you congratulating me for?! If I weren't on your turf, I'd give you two big slaps.

Seeing Luo Longwen's stunned expression, Wang San chuckled and said, "Brother, you're truly amazing! The day before yesterday, you told the King that the current Governor-General of Jiangnan, Zhou Chong, wouldn't last long, and that Zhao Wenhua would bring him down. And it really came true! Just now, our informant sent word that Governor-General Zhou Chong of Jiangnan really was impeached by Zhao Wenhua. He was stripped of his title, completely stripped of his official rank, and reduced to commoner status."

"Really?!" Luo Longwen was immediately startled.

"Of course it's true, how could it be false? No, brother, didn't you already know he would be taken down by Zhao Wenhua?!" Wang San looked at Luo Longwen with a strange gaze, why are you still so surprised?

"Ahem." Luo Longwen coughed and said slowly, "Third Master, I knew long ago that he would be removed by Lord Zhao Wenhua, but I didn't know when he would be removed. To be honest, I didn't expect Lord Zhao Wenhua to remove him so quickly. How could I not be surprised?"

"That's true." Wang San nodded.

Then, Wang San added, "Because Zhao Wenhua removed Zhou Chong, the Governor-General of Jiangnan, so quickly, many ship captains said that since you are so powerful, you should cooperate with your master."

"The king then called everyone to raise their hands to vote again. This time, almost everyone supported cooperating with your master. Only a few people, such as Mao Haifeng, supported cooperating with Zhu Pingan. So the king made the decision on the spot: we will not cooperate with Zhu Pingan, but will cooperate with your master."

"Really?" Luo Longwen's eyes lit up. He had vaguely guessed it earlier, but hearing it come from Wang San's mouth and getting confirmation, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed. This is great, this is really great.

“However, Your Majesty has two conditions.” Wang San held up two fingers.

"What conditions? Let alone two, even two hundred would be no problem." Luo Longwen nodded without hesitation. He turned despair into hope, like a drowning person in the ocean finding a lifeboat. Even if a red-hot iron is extended from the boat, he will grab it tightly without hesitation and never let go.

"Listen to this first before making a decision," Wang San said to Luo Longwen.

"Please speak, Third Master." Luo Longwen clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"The first condition is that my king's mother, wife and children must be transferred out of Zhu Ping'an's hands as soon as possible."

Wang San said with a serious expression.

“No problem. I will write to Zhao Wenhua in my young master’s name right now, and ask him to take the king’s mother, wife and children away from Zhu Ping’an under the pretext of questioning them, and protect them.”

Luo Longwen nodded repeatedly, like a chicken pecking at rice; he had already prepared a plan for this matter in his mind.

If he writes a letter to Zhao Wenhua in his own name, Zhao Wenhua might not listen to him; there's a high chance he won't. But if he writes a letter to Zhao Wenhua in Yan Shifan's name, asking him to take Wang Zhi's mother, wife, and children away from Zhu Ping'an, then Zhao Wenhua will definitely listen. It's not a difficult thing, and it won't harm Zhu Ping'an himself.

Like his old master, Zhao Wenhua still harbored illusions about Zhu Pingan, believing that Zhu Pingan could still be won over.

Ha, even the old master has given up on this idea, yet Zhao Wenhua still has it, just because Zhu Pingan called you "Master"?!

ridiculous!

"How could you write a letter to Zhao Wenhua in your young master's name? Do you think he'll believe it?!" Wang San asked.

“I can make a token for my young master. Cough cough, this kind of token is unique to my young master. There should be no one else in the world who has it. When I send the letter to Zhao Wenhua, I will send this token along with it. Zhao Wenhua will then know that this is my young master’s intention,” Luo Longwen said after coughing.

"You? Make a keepsake for your young master? Make it on the spot?! Can what you make really be a keepsake for your young master? Would Zhao Wenhua believe it?!" Wang San looked doubtful and disbelieving.

Who makes tokens on the spot? Especially not by you! How absurd! Can Zhao Wenhua be trusted?!

“That’s right. I’ll make a token for the young master right here and now. I guarantee it with my life. Zhao Wenhua will definitely believe it.”

"Is Zhao Wenhua an idiot?! How could he believe that?!" Wang San frowned, finding it hard to believe.

"Ahem, this is because this token is special, and the tokens bestowed are unique to our young master."

Luo Longwen couldn't help but cough again.

"What kind of token? Never mind, hurry up and make it. I want to see what kind of token it is," Wang San urged with a curious expression.

Luo Longwen clasped his hands in a fist salute to Wang San and asked, "Um... I would like to ask Third Master to help me collect some materials so that I can make a keepsake for the young master."

Wang San nodded without hesitation, "That's easy. Just tell me what materials you need, and I'll go and collect them for you."

"Ahem, well, I need you to help me collect some hair from women's private parts, the more the better. They need to be of different thicknesses, colors, and shapes, and the women can't all be the same person. The more the better," Luo Longwen coughed and said in a low voice, his face flushed.

puff.

Wang Sancai spat out the tea he was drinking, his face filled with disbelief and utter shock. "What the hell? What did you say you wanted me to collect for you? Did I mishear you?!"

Wang San wondered if he had misheard. Had he been visiting too many brothels and misunderstood? How could it be this kind of material?!

"Ahem, Third Master, you heard me right. I need you to help me collect these things, the more the better. My young master has this fetish. Every time he does something indescribable with a woman, he lays out a clean towel. Afterwards, he not only collects the towel, but also the item itself, clearly labeling it with her name, age, height, build, and so on." Luo Longwen coughed incessantly, as if he were having an asthma attack. "Once he has collected a certain number, the young master will have them made into calligraphy brushes and kept them."

Upon hearing this, Wang San felt as if a whole new world had opened up for him. "Wonderful! Wonderful! It can be done this way!"

I was greatly inspired.

Compared to Young Master Luo Longwen, I am just a greenhorn; I am far too inexperienced.

"Third Master, Third Master"

Wang San was so engrossed in the story that he couldn't tear himself away. Luo Longwen called him several times before Wang San finally snapped out of it. "No problem, I've got it covered."

"This is the funding; I'm entrusting everything to Third Master." Luo Longwen pulled out a stack of silver notes; his two men had rushed back overnight.

"I'm willing to risk everything for my brothers."

After accepting the silver notes, Wang San adopted a posture of "the wind is howling, the Yi River is cold, the hero departs never to return," and eagerly went out.

"Wait, what's the second condition?" Luo Longwen suddenly remembered that he hadn't mentioned the second condition yet. He looked up, but couldn't even see Wang San's taillights anymore. (End of Chapter)
