Chapter 163: Painting Boat in the River

Yunzi's appearance doesn't look like how strong her martial arts are, she is just a young girl, so her appearance may not attract the attention of the other party, which is conducive to subduing her by surprise, of course, as well as her own hypnotism and Xiaoxiao's martial arts. Therefore, the first step is of course to take down the opponent without blood, which is the best, but if it fails or cannot be used for other reasons, then the only way to capture him is to rely on himself and his followers. So the entourage is the most critical.

When Lu Jinping was pondering who to bring, Ye Qingqing came and said, "Sir, if you go to catch that thief, Qingqing will have to go with you!" I can't let you go on an adventure alone! ”

Yun Zi looked at Ye Qingqing's pretty face, smiled, and thought to himself, in terms of martial arts alone, Ye Qingqing may be slightly inferior to Yun Zi, but how much of a difference can this gap play in subduing Wang Bagui? And Ye Qingqing is her own attendant, and it is not easy to attract attention with her, which is less likely to arouse the other party's vigilance than the appearance of a girl with a face in the Western Regions, so bringing Ye Qingqing also has her benefits, besides, seeing Ye Qingqing's pitiful appearance, Lu Jinping really couldn't bear to refuse.

So Lu Jinping said, "Okay, then I'll take you." Go and prepare a chest full of stones, and spread our silver on top of it, and carry it on your back. ”

Ye Qingqing was overjoyed, her eyes were full of excitement, and she said to Lu Jinping: "Do you want to bring that box?" ”

Every time Lu Jinping goes out to investigate a case, he has to bring his forensic investigation box, and this box has always been carried by Ye Qingqing, of course, if he only takes Yunzi, then Yunzi will take on this work.

Lu Jinping shook his head and said, "We're going to arrest people today, so we don't need to bring that box." But be prepared. I can't carry a blade, as I expect to be subject to strict inspections on board. Do you have the confidence to subdue the opponent with your bare hands? ”

Ye Qingqing's chest straightened and said, "Of course there is!" My boxing skills are still good, even if I don't use a sword, as long as I don't meet a super first-class master, I am confident that I can take the opponent down. ”

Lu Jinping nodded approvingly. He knew that Ye Qingqing would not brag, and of course he was really confident when he said this.

In fact. Lu Jinping didn't know how high Ye Qingqing's martial arts were, but Ye Qingqing said this, which made the stone in his heart let go a little.

Once you're ready to stop, just wait for the night to fall.

Two watches.

A luxurious carriage stopped in front of Lu Jinping's house, and it was Boss Gao who came to greet him personally. Lu Jinping got into the carriage, he had already changed into a brocade robe, took the pretty maid Ye Qingqing, and carried a box of money. Of course, the vast majority of this box of money is just stones.

drove the carriage to the bank of the Tongzhou River. A bright moon hangs high in the sky, although it has reached spring, but the cold wind blowing is still cold, after all, it is early spring February, especially at night by the river, there are no boats on the river, and there are no lights on both sides of the river, at this time. Most of them had fallen asleep, except for the sound of the river rushing.

The tall carriage stopped at the Tongzhou wharf. Lu Jinping took Ye Qingqing down the stone steps and walked through the flickering pedal to the side of the ship.

When they arrived at the boat, Boss Gao led Lu Jinping into the painting boat, and there were two people sitting inside, a white and chubby middle-aged man, and the other was a noblewoman. The lady saw Lu Jinping. His eyes suddenly lit up, and his eyes became tender like water, and he glanced over from time to time.

And the middle-aged man saw Lu Jinping just nodded lightly, but anyone who is powerful must have a style. After all, he didn't know that the young man in front of him was actually the chief justice of the same state, because there was no TV or newspaper in the Tang Dynasty, and there were very few people who could really see the appearance of officials.

Of course, Boss Gao will not take the initiative to disclose Lu Jinping's identity, but he simply said that this is Lu Gongzi with a smile, and then introduced the two, but neither of them is from the same state. Lu Jinping thought to himself that this high boss was thoughtful, if they invited the famous squires of the same state, they might recognize Lu Jinping, so they invited people from neighboring states and counties.

After seeing the ceremony, they sat on their soft couches, sipping tea and eating melons and fruits.

The boat floated slowly to the middle of the river, and down the river, only to see the silhouettes of the green hills on both sides, rising and falling in the gray night, like a dragon wriggling its back. Listening to the sound of the river rushing, it seems extraordinarily quiet. None of the three people in the painting boat spoke, just looked at the night outside, waiting for the last person to come, except for the young woman who occasionally peeked at Lu Jinping.

Apparently for the other two, it is not known who the last person to come is. Because this gamble was prepared by Boss Gao. The participants did not say anything in advance, but the character of Boss Gao in the gambling world, they are all trustworthy, at least absolutely safe.

However, I waited until the sound of the third watch came from the distance from the shore, and I didn't see the person appear. They all frowned slightly, because they had agreed to start gambling at night, and the bet would end the next day when the east showed the white belly of the fish. But at this point, the last person was not seen.

Lu Jinping is the most anxious, because he is here to arrest the king and eight turtles, and this person is likely to secretly come to arrest his own underworld master, Lu Jinping has to strike first. But until now, this person has not shown up.

After waiting for another half an hour, Boss Gao's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he peeked at Lu Jinping several times, and saw that he looked calm, so he calmed down a little, and muttered in his mouth Why didn't this kid come? Look around at the bow of the ship. However, there was only the sparkling of the night on the river, and there were no ships to be seen.

The fat man finally couldn't help it anymore and said to Boss Gao, "What's the matter? The shopkeeper Gao, but he said okay, Zishi is starting, and he won't come until now, won't he be playing with us, right? ”

The pretty young woman also snorted, twisted her slender snake waist, glanced at Lu Jinping inadvertently, and said, "Really, let's just wait, and let this Lu Gongzi wait like this, what kind of system is that?" Shopkeeper Gao, he made an appointment today, we can settle accounts with you, right? Lu Gongzi. After that, he looked at Lu Jinping with hot eyes.

Lu Jinping felt his gaze, but he didn't raise his eyes to look at her, just smiled faintly and said, "Shopkeeper Gao, it's been half an hour, since he doesn't come, he has to go home tonight." ”

The fat man stood up and said, "If he doesn't come to gamble with the three of us, it's not for him, and Boss Gao, you can also make a kick, won't the four of us become four?" ”

Boss Gao wanted to please Lu Jinping, if he didn't catch the king turtle today, he was afraid that Lu Jinping would turn his face. He was really panicked in his heart, so he had to find a way to give Lu Jinping a good loss, so that there was room for maneuver, of course, he smiled all over his face, and said repeatedly: "That's it, I'll be the east, start, and bet with the three, how about it?" ”

The fat man smiled and said: "That dare is good, the gambling skills of the high shopkeeper are like gods and do not leak out, I haven't had a good discussion with the high shopkeeper, it is rare to have a chance today, I must have a good experience." ”

The young woman pursed her lips and said, "Although I haven't seen the gambling skills of the shopkeeper Gao, but today I said that the shopkeeper Gao is only responsible for the summoning, and does not participate in the gambling, and the gamble is the four of us, but the person doesn't come, or the three of us gamble, right?" The rules can't be broken, if you want to bet with him to his casino, today he is just anxious, and the convener is supposed to not be able to gamble. Rules are rules, right? Brother Lu"

Lu Jinping didn't know why she didn't want Boss Gao to participate in this big gamble, and his reason was not tenable, although Lu Jinping didn't know the rules in the casino. But Lu Jinping's main purpose when he arrived at the painting boat was not to gamble money, he was not interested in gambling money, he wanted to catch Wang Bagui. Since no one is here now, the plan has failed, so it is better to go back to sleep as soon as possible.

So Lu Jinping stood up with interest, waved his hand and said, "I'm sorry, I still have some things, since today's gambling game is not successful, then please ask the shopkeeper to order the shipper to send me back." ”

As soon as he heard this, the shopkeeper Gao suddenly had cold sweat on his forehead, he thought about losing some money to Lu Jinping, but the young woman found a reason not to let herself participate in gambling, and Lu Jinping was even less interested in gambling with herself, so how to give the money out? When she was stammering and hesitating, she heard the young woman giggle and say, "Brother Lu is in such a hurry to go back, is there a wife waiting in the bed?" Hee-hee-hee"

Lu Jinping smiled faintly and said, "Madame, I'm really in trouble." After that, he raised his head and said to Boss Gao: "Shopkeeper Gao, if it is inconvenient for you to send me back to the dock, you can send me ashore, I see that you have a boat on the boat, I will use the boat to row over, and it will not affect you to continue playing in the painting boat."

As soon as he heard this, Boss Gao was even more frightened, and hurriedly said: "Junior brother, I will order to turn the bow of the boat and send Brother Lu back to the head of the dam." ”

The young woman glanced at Boss Gao, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Gao, you are very good to Brother Lu, you are more than half older than him, but you call him brother, it seems that this Brother Lu is not an ordinary family." In this way, my sister wants to learn more from Brother Lu. Brother Lu won't let his sister down, right? - Shopkeeper Gao, don't go back to the dock, just walk down the river slowly, and then turn back to the dock to make sure it's dawn, listen to me! ”

At this moment, Boss Gao was even more frightened, and looked at Lu Jinping pitifully.

Lu Jinping looked up at the young woman and said lightly, "Madam, why do you have to bet with me?" ”

"I look at my brother with a pleasant eye, isn't that a reason? Come on, make a good bet with your sister for a night, it's good for you. ”

"Just now the shopkeeper Gao introduced, I honestly didn't hear clearly, I don't know the name of the lady?" (To be continued......)
