Chapter 848: And Acquaintances
Jin Buchang crossed his waist and snorted, "If I can't beat you, Lao Tzu will chop you tonight."
Lu Qingfeng sighed, "I can't leave if I want to."
Jin Buchang pointed to the hairy moon and laughed: "Come on, come on, all the fuck, the more lively the fight, the better."
Lu Qingfeng once again recovered his previous withered appearance, and muttered in a low voice: "Take chestnuts from the fire, I hope I can survive in a desperate place."
Jin Buchang inserted the dagger into the waistband of his pants and put it close to his body, "Don't worry, the old Jin family still relies on me to inherit the lineage, and I won't die so easily."
At noon the next day, Lu Shanmin still came to the small noodle restaurant opposite the mahjong hall, and spent more than 100,000 yuan on Jin Buchang in the past few days, so he could only eat a bowl of small noodles, and it hurt a little to even eat an extra piece of meat.
Lu Shanmin was eating small noodles while staring at the mahjong parlor, Jin Buchang didn't come for a long time today, but he was not afraid that Jin Buchang would run away, the station in Pingyang County, all the traffic arteries, and around the small bungalow, there were people arranged by Hong Chengwu to guard, and he could receive the news whenever there was a disturbance. What's more, since Jin Buchang chose to stay, he was confident that he would not run away.
"Smack", a stack of beef was placed on the table, and a dark-skinned middle-aged man with inch hair sat at the same table.
"Look at your temperament and dress like a person who is short of money, why can't you even eat meat."
Lu Shanmin glanced at the middle-aged man lightly, "You don't look like a local, you're here for a tourist?"
The man snorted and inhaled, "Where this kind of bird doesn't poop, what is there to play."
Lu Shanmin smiled faintly, "That's right, it's okay who would come to this kind of place."
The man sandwiched a piece of beef and put it in Lu Shanmin's bowl, "Please."
Lu Shanmin glanced at the beef in the bowl, did not speak, and did not eat.
The man raised his head and looked at Lu Shanmin, "Worried about poisonous"?
Lu Shanmin smiled, as if he had heard a very funny joke. "Ignorant and fearless".
The man looked natural, put a piece of beef in his mouth, and said while chewing: "Of course you don't pay attention to ordinary people like me, but it doesn't necessarily mean that I have to be afraid of you."
Lu Shanmin picked up the beef in the bowl and put it in his mouth, "You have been a soldier"?
"Good eye".
"Still an officer"?
"So I don't need to be afraid of you."
"Can you tell us who you are?"
"What do you think?" the man asked rhetorically as he ate his noodles.
Lu Shanmin smiled helplessly, "It's really getting more and more interesting."
The man finally smiled, but only a very shallow smile, "Don't think that the surname Jin is the fish on the chopping board, the barefoot is not afraid to wear shoes, there is no burden on the body, one person runs away, the whole family runs away." On the contrary, you carry too much on your back, and it is not so convenient to run."
Lu Shanmin smiled, "Why should I run"?
The man paused, "I mean, if one day you have to run, you're much more tired running than that kid from the Kim family."
Lu Shanmin smiled, "Do you think that if I kill someone, people will be caught?"
"The handle is the handle, even if you can't catch it, it's still there, and there will always be a day when you get caught. Even if you are the best and can run away alone, the ones behind you can't run away."
Lu Shanmin half-squinted at the man in front of him who was eating noodles by himself, "You are also looking for a shadow"?
The man raised his head and looked at Lu Shanmin in a daze, and asked rhetorically, "How do you know that I am not a shadow?"
Lu Shanmin put down the dishes and chopsticks and said lightly: "Whether you are a shadow or not, people like you are not qualified to negotiate with me."
The man frowned, a hint of displeasure on his face.
"It's better for young people to be humble."
Lu Shanmin smiled faintly, "You all treat me as a chess piece and bait, and you want me to nod and be modest, who is not modest enough."
The man drank the noodle soup in one go, "You guess me, I guess you, each with its own purpose, it's really a headache."
"If you're quick to spit out, I'd love to be a listener."
The man wiped his mouth, "I'm just carrying out the order, the rest don't bother to think about it, and I don't want to think about it."
"Then let this pool of water be even more turbid, and the eight immortals will show their magic powers across the sea."
Seeing Jin Buchang walking into the mahjong hall leisurely, Lu Shanmin slowly got up.
"Since I've been invited to eat all the beef, then I'll pay for this bowl of noodles along with it."
The man frowned, looked at Lu Shanmin's departing back and muttered, "The richer you are, the more you pick."
After paying, the man took out his mobile phone and dialed out, "the fish have surfaced".
There was a slight laugh on the other end of the phone, "Watch carefully, report at any time, don't do anything without my orders."
"Yes".

...........
Mahjong was played late at night, and Jin Buchang lost another 20,000 yuan. Lu Shanmin couldn't care about being distressed, he had more important things to consider now. Although he also wanted to stay and observe the parties, the main purpose of his visit this time was to get more news about the shadow from the Jin family, and now Pingyang County is still the same as usual on the surface, but in fact there is an undercurrent. No matter which side of the man he met at the noodle shop during the day, it already showed that Pingyang County was not peaceful, and he did take a lot of risks along the way, but this does not mean that he likes to take risks.
The current time is to get Jin Buchang out of this whirlpool as soon as possible.
Walking out of the mahjong parlor, it was pitch black outside, only the dim street lamps could barely point the way, and the wind blew, with fine sand in the wind, hitting the cheeks slightly.
Lu Shanmin contemplated and perceived, and could feel the faint breath deliberately released by Lu Qingfeng, with this old man here, he was not sure that he would take Jin away smoothly. Moreover, Jin Buchang himself has also reached the early stage of the late stage of the Yi Marrow Realm, and it is not so easy to use strength. The most important thing is the other people hiding in the shadows, and they don't want Jin Buchang to leave.
"Can you talk?" After weighing it up, Lu Shanmin spoke.
"Of course you can, you have already given me more than 100,000 in the past few days, just chat."
The two walked through the dim streets, and Lu Shanmin said lightly: "Actually, we are the same kind of people."
Jin Buchang said: "It's different, I'm from a famous family, and you came out of a ravine." You are rich now and I am poor".
Lu Shanmin ignored Jin Buchang's flamboyant tongue, and said to himself: "We all want to live peacefully, but there are always people who don't even give this basic demand."
"That's right, I used to live a peaceful life, but after you came, it was completely messed up, and you were the one who didn't give me a stable life."
"Haven't you been tired of hiding in Tibet for more than ten years"?
"Cat and mouse, of course the mouse has to run, and it is difficult to bite the cat in turn."
"Your will has not been completely extinguished, so why should you guard against me everywhere."
Jin Buchang smiled, "You also said that our two families have a grudge, who knows if you will unload the mill and kill the donkey."
Lu Shanmin smiled faintly, "In the final analysis, you still don't believe in my strength and don't want to be tied to me."
Jin Buchang said lightly: "The most trustworthy people in the world are parents, but it's a pity that they are all dead."
Lu Shanmin frowned slightly, "Immortals fight mortals suffer, if you lose the bet in this game, the Jin family will be completely finished."
Jin Buchang pursed his mouth, "I don't believe that my luck is so bad, I lose every game, I will definitely win this game."
"That's how every gambler thinks, that's why there are so many people who lose their money."
"The greater the benefit, the greater the risk, anyway, it's a bad life, maybe you can turn a bicycle into a motorcycle."
Lu Shanmin frowned, even if he was such a patient person, he was a little uncontrollable. If it weren't for the fact that Lu Qingfeng was nearby, he would have liked Haibian to eat this guy who didn't eat oil and salt.
"The shadow is coming, another group of forces is coming, maybe there are other forces coming, you really think you can survive the cracks."
Jin Buchang didn't care, "It's good if they all come, if I only come to one side, I really have to run away."
"Just because the shadow doesn't kill you now doesn't mean it won't kill you in the future, it's just trying to catch someone else to show up. In the same way, the other party is not touching you now, and is just hiding in the shadows looking for traces of the shadow. Regardless of the outcome, neither side will let you go".
Jin Buchang lit a cigarette and swallowed the clouds, "It's not just the two sides, don't you plan to let me go?"
"At least, I didn't intend to kill you."
"That's not necessarily, you don't know something now, and when you know, maybe I'll be the first to kill."
Lu Shanmin frowned slightly, and carefully thought about Jin Buchang's words, "Could it be that my father's death is really directly related to your Jin family?"
Jin Buchang didn't answer, and said with a smile: "I'll also tell you a piece of news, this morning, the people from the Pingyang County Public Security Bureau have all changed from top to bottom."
Lu Shanmin's heart shook, and his face unconsciously showed a look of horror.
Jin Buchang said with a smile: "Don't be shocked, gamblers like me often go to the police station, and every policeman in it knows him."
Lu Shanmin was not shocked that Jin Buchang knew the news, but shocked the energy of these forces.
Although Pingyang County is a small county town, it can replace the police of the Public Security Bureau, what kind of energy is that. If it is done by a shadow, then the shadow is more terrible than imagined, and if it is done by another force, then where is this force sacred.
Jin Buchang patted Lu Shanmin on the shoulder, "It's a pity that such a big scene is gone, I advise you not to leave, stay and watch it well, this kind of big scene is rare to meet once in life."
Back at the hotel, Lu Shanmin sat on the sofa and closed his eyes in contemplation.
Hong Chengwu also walked into the room with the news of the day.
"Brother Shanmin, the two roads leaving Pingyang County have been bombed, if you go around the edge of the desert, I am afraid that you will fall into an ambush of the enemy."
Lu Shanmin's brows were only slightly furrowed, the police of the Public Security Bureau could be replaced, and it was not too surprising that the highway was bombed.
"The real battle is about to begin."
Hong Chengwu continued: "A large number of outsiders have lived in hotels and inns in the county, including our hotel, and several groups of people have stayed in it today."
After a pause, "There are acquaintances among them."
