Chapter 40: Interrogation
"This is the drawing, after dark tomorrow, you bury the black powder in the place marked in my drawing!"
In the third brother's house, Lu Jia sat at the table with a scarf, and the domineering momentum coupled with the twenty silver ingots and a stack of silver tickets placed next to his elbow made the third brother's face softened a lot, and he knelt in front of Lu Jia in a proper manner.
After receiving the drawing, the third brother looked down, "On the edge of the forest twenty kilometers outside the North City Gate?" ”
Lu Jiadao: "There is an old tree on the side of the forest whose trunk has been emptied by lightning, and the old tree is the eighth to the left, and it begins to be buried under this tree, across the entire road, until it is buried under the root of a crooked neck tree on the opposite side, and the location I marked clearly on the drawings." ”
The third brother frowned, "There is no problem with burying black powder, but I heard that His Majesty is going to hunt the day after tomorrow, and martial law has been imposed outside this city gate recently, and there are people from the Black Armor Battalion patrolling along the road."
It's a problem for me to get this black powder out, and then bury it in a big way......"
Lu Jia shook his feet and chuckled: "On this table, there are a total of three thousand taels of silver and silver tickets, and your black powder business has been done well, this is the third balance I promised you." ”
As he spoke, Lu Jia glanced at Chunbao.
Chun Bao directly threw a burden in his hand in front of the third brother.
The burden was extremely heavy, and after being dropped, there was a clang, and as the burden landed, the mouth of the burden spread out, revealing the round pearls inside.
All of them were stolen from Lu's house at that time.
The condition is good!
Spending other people's money just doesn't feel distressed.
Lu Jiadao: "This is the deposit for burying the black powder, and after burying it, I will settle the balance of 10,000 taels of silver for you." ”
The third brother was originally stunned by the pearls in that burden, he had never seen so many pearls when he was so big, all of them were round, and they were many times stronger than the pearls on the head of the top girl in Chunxi Building.
The previous shocking breath had not yet stopped, and this heard another ten thousand taels...... The third brother's thighs were weak, he sat down on the ground, and looked at Lu Jia with greedy eyes, "How much?" One, ten thousand taels? ”
Lu Jia smiled: "Is it much? 10,000 taels is just a pocket flower for me, if you do well, we will often cooperate in the future, and it will not be a problem for you to buy Chunxi Building. ”
The pie is drawn out.
Lu Jia waited patiently for the third brother.
The third brother looked at the silver ingots and silver tickets on the table and swallowed a mouthful of saliva firmly, his greedy face was excited with a hideousness, he squeezed his fist, "Okay, I'll take this job!" ”
Lu Jia smiled: "Happy, then day and night, I will settle the bill for you!" ”
Leaving from the third brother, there was no one in the quiet alley of the night, only the footsteps of Lu Jia and Chunbao, one by one, accompanied by Lu Jia and Chunbao tearing off the disfigured skin and flesh on their faces.
This is the pill I got from the old monk.
This pill is very magical, and it doesn't take a moment to soak in the water to reveal a human face, a rickety old woman.
When it is used up, tear this person's face and throw it away at will, but in the blink of an eye, it will turn into dust.
A total of four were obtained from the old monk, and she and Chun Bao came to the third brother twice, and they all ran out.
You don't have to come back again.
Bistro.
In the dead of night, there was no one on the street, and the tavern was naturally not a single guest, and the young men and the shopkeeper had left, leaving only a young man who was on vigil to lock the door of the tavern inward...... Hey?
"Miss, why is the door open?"
The door to the tavern was not locked inward, but was concealed, revealing a thumb-thick slit.
Lu Jia frowned, and shrunk the hand that had been wrapped in gauze and hidden overnight stretched out at this time, pushing the door panel open.
"Coming back?"
Xiao Yan sat in the tavern, which was the place where Lu Jia always liked to sit, a corner, and behind the corner chair was the offering table dedicated to the God of Wealth.
Under the offering table was hidden the money that Lu Jia had stolen from the Lu family.
Xiao Yan sat at the offering table.
There was no light in the tavern, the moonlight shone in through the large window, and in the dim light, Xiao Yan's expression was cold.
Chun Bao was like a fried cat in an instant, almost screaming out in fright.
Lu Jia frowned, with a sigh of relief in his heart, and said while walking in: "You scared me, what are you doing in my tavern at night?" ”
Xiao Yan looked at Lu Jia, "It's a big night, it's the middle of the night, where have you been?" ”
Lu Jia walked up to Xiao Yan, his hands were inconvenient, he hooked a chair with his feet, and sat down, "What is it to do with you?" ”
"In the morning, I was tortured, and the skin of ten fingers was clamped open, and I didn't invite a doctor, but I quietly bandaged myself in the tavern room......"
Lu Jialiu raised his eyebrows and glared at Xiao Yan fiercely, "You searched my house?" ”
Xiao Yan paused for a moment and said, "I have checked, the second prince has never come to the tavern to play chess with you, and today at the entrance of the criminal department, the two of you are lying." ”
Lu Jia's heartbeat flashed suddenly.
This dog officer, there are enough investigations.
"So what? Is it illegal to lie? Lu Jia sneered, "Or is it that Lord Shangshu has found terrible evidence from my house and wants to arrest me again?" ”
"Where have you been?" Xiao Yan changed the question back to the first one.
Lu Jia glanced at him, suddenly raised his eyebrows, and laughed at himself: "The prince really wants to know?" I don't know if I'm not going to leave today? Okay, you're Lord Shangshu, and I'm just a little maid who can't be messed with by anyone.
I said, I said okay! ”
The voice choked up for a moment, and Lu Jia's eyes turned red.
"Xiao Yi came to my tavern today, and he wanted to do something wrong to me on the second floor."
Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he didn't expect Lu Jia to say this.
Lu Jia sneered: "Isn't the prince very good at investigating? Since we can find out whether the Second Highness has come to my tavern to play chess, we must also be able to find out whether Xiao Yi has entered the door of my room on the second floor. ”
Angry, Lu Jia took out a small paper bag from his body and threw it on Xiao Yan.
"This is called Yunmary, it can make people faint, I was given to it by an aunt in the house when I came out of Yuhang Lu's house. Let me save my life in case there is an accident on the road.
Xiao Yi is Lu Wei's husband and the son of Mrs. Rong'anhou, can I afford to mess with it?
Did I resist?
If he wants to tear my clothes, I can only bear it, he wants to press me, I can only endure it, who made me not want to go back to Yuhang, and I don't want to marry the old man who has a group of children in the family to continue the strings! ”
Biting his lip, Lu Jia choked and forcibly strengthened.
"I just put this powder on the bed, and I grabbed it, and I stunned him, and he fainted in the room, and I didn't dare to stay in the room, so I fled.
After I went out, I didn't know where to go, so I wandered around Kyoto, from the palace gate to the outside of the city gate, and it was not until twilight that I dared to come back to take a look.
He left, and I dared to enter this restaurant again.
The house was full of traces left by him, and I was scared, so I asked people to move a ladder to the roof, wanting to relax, and then you came, and then the Second Highness came.
As for why I'm only coming back at this time...... That's because I don't know where I'm supposed to live.
I hesitated to go back to the Rong'an Hou Mansion, but is there a place for me in the Rong'an Hou Mansion? You saw it clearly when you caught me this morning.
If I don't go back to the Rong'an Hou Mansion, do I have to live in a tavern? Is the tavern absolutely safe? If Xiao Yi didn't succeed at that time, what if he found it again? ”
Lu Jia said seven points true, three points false, and the red eyes were full of tears that could not fall.
