Seeing him ask like this, Lu Qian took out the jade pendant that Situ Housun gave him when he was leaving, and handed it to the man with both hands.

After taking the jade pendant and taking a closer look, he recognized his friend's personal belongings, and this person smiled slightly and said to Lu Qian: "Oh, it turned out that Brother Situ asked you to come." Please, let's talk in the room. ”

Lu Qian followed him into the wooden house, and when he first entered, he felt that this place was very exquisite, not at all like the simplicity that a hermit should have.

The fine mahogany carved tables and chairs, the jade tea cups, and even the curtain of the bed are faintly attached to the golden threads, which are extremely luxurious. If it weren't for the fact that the outside of the whole house was made of low-quality wood, I am afraid that I would mistakenly think that I had entered the courtyard of a rich man.

Seeing Lu Qian looking at the decoration of his room dizzyingly, the man's face turned red, and he hurriedly found a topic and said, "In Xia Xin Shude, you haven't asked Your Excellency yet?"

Hearing the owner's question, Lu Qian came back to his senses, and also felt that he had a little gaffe just now, and said apologetically: "Under the surname Lu Mingqian, when I first entered your place, I was really surprised by the indoor furnishings, so I had many gaffes, and I was very ashamed." ”

When Xin Shude saw him say this, his face turned even redder.

"Well, you don't know anything! I was a recluse, and the humble house was built in a hurry in order to have a place to live. As for the rich things you see, that's a long story. ”

Hearing the meaning of this, he seemed to have something unspeakable, and Lu Qian was also curious for a moment and accosted: "Hmm? Could it be that there is another secret in this?"

"Yes! Exactly. You came from Brother Situ, I don't know if he ever told you, we can be said to have a lifelong friendship, since I used my carving skills to save his life many years ago, and then he always came to bring me some 'gifts'. As soon as it came and went, it became the scene it is today. ”

Hearing this, Lu Qian nodded. Thinking that Situ Housun is known as a thief in the rivers and lakes, these rare things are naturally nothing to him, if he is sent here, then there is nothing unusual.

"Isn't that great? Brother Situ thanked you for saving your life, and in return, it can be described as a beautiful talk. ”

Lu Qian wanted to praise a few words of praise as icing on the cake, after all, he was here to ask someone to go out of the mountain to help guide the way, if the answer was not correct and he was suffocated, wouldn't it be a failure!

What he never expected was that such a statement not only did not make Xin Shude happy, but became even more depressed and worried.

"Alas, this is a bad word, this is a bad word! You think that I, a person who lives in seclusion, should have a heart of indifference to fame and fortune, quiet and far-reaching. But now that there are so many gold, silver, and jade soft things, isn't it a great deal of trouble for the scenery and a vain increase of anxiety?"

Lu Qian saw that what he meant by this was that he didn't want to leave such a heavy gift, but it was much easier to do, just explain the words to Situ Housun and return it to him.

Thinking of this, he said according to his own thoughts: "If Mr. really has no intention of doing this, then he will make it clear to Brother Situ and return these many generous gifts to him, why are you worried here?"

When Xin Shude heard him say this, he sighed and said slowly: "If it is really as you said, it will be a lot easier. However, I guess you don't know the character of my brother Situ, and I have mentioned this matter to him many times, but every time he opened his mouth, he thought that I had refuted his face, and if he didn't accept it, he would kneel down in the courtyard, which made me very sad. ”

didn't expect Situ Housun to have such a persistent side, Lu Qianqiang couldn't help laughing, and helped Xin Shude find a way to share his worries with you: "If that's the case, then it's not easy to do." Let's just keep it here for the sake of his sincerity, and it will be returned to its original owner again when it has the opportunity to do so. ”

"Well, that's all I can think about now. ”

Xin Shude still agrees with Lu Qian's method, but he has already thought of this method, so he has the magnificent decoration in the room before.

"Forget it, forget it, don't mention it. I've been talking for a long time, but I haven't asked Brother Lu why I'm here to find me?"

As soon as Lu Qian saw that the opportunity had come, he didn't get into the topic at this time, and when would he wait? Hurriedly bent down and bowed deeply, lowered his head, and didn't dare to get up and said, "Please help me with this matter!"

Xin Shude, who had already guessed a few points, quickly stretched out his hands out of courtesy: "What is this? ”

In order to successfully invite him out to help, Lu Qian had already grasped the soft-hearted characteristics of Xin Shude from the conversation just now, and he had to take this opportunity to perform it well.

"No, no, no, this matter is very important, if the gentleman does not agree first, I will not be able to afford it for a long time. ”

Lu Qian was about to go down to the ground to pay homage as he spoke, but Xin Shude was startled, and he gave such a big gift when they met for the first time, which made him miserable.

"All things are to be discussed, so get up first. ”

In fact, since Lu Qian showed off Situ Housun's close-fitting jade pendant, Xin Shude already knew that Lu Qian must have a tricky matter, otherwise there would be no reason to recommend him here. Now that he is combining his appearance, he is inseparable from ten.

Seeing that he agreed, Lu Qian got up and sat down with Xin Shude, and began to talk in detail about what he had been brewing for a long time.

"Sir, listen to me, I originally came here from Jizhou to catch a thief with a reward, but I later heard that he was a person from the Flying Star Pavilion, and I need to be more responsible in order to punish the traitor. In the process of arresting this thief, I don't know what method he used, but I also became a reward for arrest, and now in order to prove my innocence, the only way to bring him to justice as soon as possible can clear this grievance. ”

Hearing him mention the words "Flying Star Pavilion", Xin Shude hurriedly interrupted him and said, "Wait a minute, what you said just now is Flying Star Pavilion, right?"

"That's right, it's the Flying Star Pavilion!"

"Have you dealt with them already?"

"Well, I had a friend who went with me to arrest the thief, but on the way, I met a killer from the Flying Star Pavilion and kidnapped him, and now I am here to do this, and I hope that Mr. can lead the way and help me save people and water and fire. ”

"This ......"

Seeing that he had been silent for a long time, Lu Qian, who was eager to save people's hearts, suddenly had a plan in his heart and said: "Brother Situ was seriously injured in this matter before, so he sent me to ask Mr. for help, and when he left, he also said that if I showed this token to Mr., with the friendship of life and death between the two of you, I would definitely not stand idly by." ”

This trick "attacking the mind" really worked, since Lu Qian finished speaking, Xin Shude's face had changed color, and his frowning brows became heavier and heavier, as if he was thinking about the pros and cons of this.
