Lu Jing saw the clerk who had led him to Master Wan in the crowd, and he quickly understood what had happened.
The boy's identity was probably exposed.
Of course, the official's own eyes were certainly not that poisonous, and the boy was originally at the bottom of the food chain in the village, a small and transparent person, and most likely he was not even registered by the government.
The reason why he was discovered was probably because some of the women who were let go previously reported themselves to the police.
This kind of thing is actually quite normal.
Before these women were taken captive to the mountains, some were refugees who were about to starve to death due to lack of food, but there were also young ladies who lived a pretty good life.
As a result, when he met Ge Ping's group, his life took a turn for the worse, and it was strange that he didn't have any hatred in his heart.
Some people are grateful for Lu Jing's rescue, and are glad that they can still return home and see their relatives, and do not want to cause trouble. Others are filled with hatred. After escaping from trouble, their minds are filled with revenge, and they will not hesitate to drag Lu Jing into the water.
Lu Jing actually didn't expect this to happen, which is why he never revealed his identity from beginning to end.
But troubles are troubles, and he will definitely let them go.
We cannot continue to leave these women to suffer in the village just because they are afraid of being retaliated by these women.
Even the follow-up plan may have to be changed. Although Lu Jing didn't pay attention to the dozens of government officials in front of him, he didn't want to embarrass these police officers who were eating public food.
He planned to take the boy out of the city first, then put on the human skin mask, and then sneak back by himself.
But before he could take action, he saw another horse approaching.
There were two people on the horse. In front of them was a thin old man dressed as a scribe, with a goatee and a scheming look, but he didn't seem to know how to ride a horse, and his face turned blue after being knocked down.
Moreover, he was actually being held on horseback by a fat man who looked like a rich man behind him, but he still held back his discomfort and shouted, "Stop, everyone, stop it!"
And his words soon had an effect.
The two police officers who held the boy down looked at me, and I looked at you, and then they released their hands one after another, and the group of police officers who originally rushed towards Lu Jing also stopped.
Upon seeing this, the boy hurriedly ran behind Lu Jing.
The horse also stopped, and the old man immediately waved his hand and said, "Why are you still standing there? Let's go. Let's go. Go and do whatever you need to do."
The officers actually dispersed after hearing this.
At this time, the fat man behind him also got off his horse, came to Lu Jing, and said respectfully, "Excuse me, can we take a step to talk."
"Okay, tell me where to go." Lu Jing didn't care.
Anyway, he can fight his way out of the city no matter where he goes.
But when he arrived at the place the fat man was talking about, Lu Jing's expression became strange.
Because he is actually quite familiar with this place.
——Duobao Pavilion
This place is just like the Kaifeng cuisine of Lu Jing's later generations. It is open everywhere. Basically, you can find Duobao Pavilion's semicolon in any county that is not too remote.
After inviting Lu Jing upstairs and retreating, the fat man immediately introduced himself, "Master Lu, this is Zhou Yu, the shopkeeper of Duobao Pavilion's Ju County branch."
Before he could complain about the other person's name, Lu Jing asked, "How do you know who I am?"
He still remembered that he didn't reveal his identity to anyone this time, and he and Zhou Yu had never met before, so it was strange that the other party could recognize him at a glance.
Zhou Yu seemed to have expected Lu Jinghui's question, and explained with a smile, "Master Lu may not know that Boss Jin has asked Xiao Yiqing, the best painter in Kyushu, to draw your portrait, and then sent it to the shopkeepers of each branch.
"Tell us that if we see you, if you have nothing to do, we will not disturb you. But once you encounter trouble, whoever is on whose territory will solve the trouble for you as soon as possible."
"But I've never seen that Xiao Yiqing." Lu Jing raised his eyebrows.
"Oh, Painter Xiao's most powerful skill is to paint and look for people. He describes their appearance orally, and then he paints. The portraits he draws are often close to the same and magical. Of course, it takes a lot of time to ask him to make a painting. The price is also amazing.
"Especially now that he is getting older and writes less, but for our big boss Jin, it is no big deal if we can solve things with money."
Lu Jingding nodded. He knew why Jin Duoduo spent a lot of money to find someone to draw his portrait.
Because the two met last time in Wenjiazhuang, Lu Jing found Jiang Lei's murderer, which was equivalent to clearing Jin Duoduo's suspicion and giving him a clean slate.
So the big boss of Duobao Pavilion probably wanted to reciprocate the favor.
In this case, Lu Jing was no longer polite and said to Zhou Yu, "Are you familiar with the local magistrate? Can you convince him to let me build an earthen fort?"
Zhou Yu smiled when he heard this, "Master Lu, you must have found the right person. That person just now is the magistrate of Ju County."
"What?" Lu Jing didn't expect that the man who looked more like a businessman than an official was the magistrate of Ju County. If he only looked at his appearance, his confidant Master Wan would probably be more like a magistrate than him.
But it's no wonder that as soon as he opened his mouth, the guards immediately dispersed.
Zhou Yu explained, "Kong Zhixian is actually one of ours. In his early years, he was indeed a schemer for people. Later, by chance, he got an opportunity to become an official. However, his original schemer was already No more.
"So his official career was also very bumpy. He worked hard for more than thirty years. After many ups and downs, going around and around, in the end he was still stuck in the same place, so he took the initiative to find us.
"Boss Jin paid for him and helped him clear all the obstacles on his way to promotion, so that he could sit in his current position as county magistrate. So whatever Lu Daxia wants to do, as long as it's not too outrageous, just go ahead and do it, except for the base If you have any other requests from the heroes outside the fort, you can tell me."
"I also need a batch of materials for building an earthen fort, as well as necessary living supplies such as salt and oil, plus a batch of farm tools that are enough for 200 people. By the way, if there is still food, just sell me some more food. Better." Lu Jing said.
He originally planned to purchase these things from the capital and then send them to Ju County through the well.
However, it is quite troublesome to only deliver one coffin at a time, especially stones and the like. Lu Jing probably ran away with some of them. Even if he brought in Chen Hanqing, a tool man, it would be difficult for him to do so in a while. Done.
But if Duobao Pavilion is willing to help, it will be much easier.
Duobao Pavilion was originally engaged in various businesses, so it was very convenient to raise supplies. In addition, Shopkeeper Zhou's relationship in Ju County's officialdom meant that no one would make things difficult for him to transport this batch of supplies.
This immediately saved Lu Jing a lot of things. He only had to wait to collect the rent.
