After leaving the door, Dole did not speak in a hurry. He just walked in front and then motioned for Lu Jing to follow.
Then the two of them walked along the narrow path until they came to a shop with a broken flag in front of the door.
The old man selling wine was very excited when he saw Dole. He immediately knelt down and kissed Dole's toes devoutly.
And Dole also said to him warmly, "Leave us a jar of rice wine, and then you can go home first."
The old man who sold the wine did not have any objections when he heard the words. He moved out of the wine jar and walked out of the store without saying a word. Dole's words were like an edict to him.
However, he was stopped again by Dole after he took a few steps.
"etc."
But Dole looked at Lu Jing again, "I have never touched money with my hands since I became an Akuman. Do you have any silver with you now? Can you lend me ten taels first?"
"Okay." Lu Jing happily took out a silver ingot from his arms and threw it to Dole.
Dole then placed the silver ingot in front of the old man, but the latter did not reach out to pick it up. Instead, he was unable to do anything.
Dole said, "Take it."
"But this is too much." The old man said.
"Not much. This money is for buying your foot shop."
The old man was stunned when he heard this.
"Why, isn't it enough?"
"Enough, of course, it's enough. My shop only has the poorest rice wine, and it's also mixed with water. Other than that, it's just a wooden shed with a few stools. It's not worth much. These ten taels of silver are enough to buy two. , it’s just... I’ve been working here for more than 40 years, and I’m a little reluctant to sell it all of a sudden.
"But since you are the venerable person and you want to buy it, I will sell it to you no matter what I say."'
"It doesn't matter. If you really like it, just wait until you come back tomorrow. Anyway, I only buy it for one night." Dole smiled.
The old man took the silver, kissed Dole's toes devoutly again, and then left with great gratitude.
Dole took matters into his own hands, lifted up the jar of yellow wine, patted away the yellow mud on it, poured two bowls, and then pointed to the bench in front of him.
"Please, please sit down."
Lu Jing was not polite when he heard this, and just sat in front of Dole.
Dole pushed a bowl of wine in front of Lu Jing. Regardless of whether Lu Jing drank or not, he picked up his own bowl and drank half of it first. After putting down the bowl, he said, "How did you find this place?"
"I asked some people in the county, and then asked a child from this place to lead the way. You are Akuman. Almost everyone in the city doesn't know you."
Dole shook his head, "You know that's not what I asked."
"Oh, do you think I came to suspect you?" Lu Jing said, "Because you are too cautious."
"Is it wrong to be cautious?" Dole asked.
"Of course there is nothing wrong with being cautious, but the battle you made to prevent us from investigating was too great, and it exposed yourself instead," Lu Jing said.
Dole listened carefully.
"You killed Uritu before us, so we don't know where similar things have happened in the city."
"I didn't kill Wu Ritu." Duo Le interrupted Lu Jing.
"I know that he committed suicide, but it is precisely because he committed suicide that I suspected you. People like Uritu know a lot of secrets. Many people wanted him dead before, including some big shots. , but until today, Wuritu was living well.
"In the end, he died this time, and committed suicide. I was wondering what kind of ruthless character with powerful hands and eyes could force him to death like this.
"My first suspicion was of course Bubul, and his father, Dabini. Especially Dabini, as the number one general under Tongtu Chieftain, he commanded an army, and naturally there were many masters in the army. , I am not surprised that he can kill Wu Ritu, but if he wants to force Wu Ritu to death, it seems almost uninteresting.
"The main thing is that Uritu doesn't need to be too afraid of Andabini. If Andabini is determined to kill Uritu, Uritu can run away instead of just waiting for death.
"Then I also doubted Chief Tong Tu. He is undoubtedly the most powerful person in Shizhou now. It is of course very easy to want someone to die, but Chief Tong Tu is Tong Qianxi's father. He has no reason to deal with me. The only flesh and blood with normal intelligence.
"And like me, Dabini, Wuritu may be afraid of the Tong Tu Chief, but he is not afraid to the extent that he will hang himself at just one word."
"It makes sense." Hearing this, Dole had finished the remaining half of the bowl of wine, so he added another bowl for himself.
Lu Jing also continued, "When I got here, I fell into a dead end, because if even Tongtu Chief couldn't force Wuritu to death, I can't think of anyone else in Ganding County who can do this. , until I met the person you sent to investigate Langzhong Lu."
"Did they say anything to you?"
"That's not true. There was even a person who just showed the urge to speak, and was stabbed in the chest by his companion with a dagger."
"Did you think of me from this knife?"
"No, this knife didn't kill him because I caught the blade in time."
"You are a good person."
"It's a pity that I still couldn't save him, because he bumped into the dagger himself later. It was his way of death that made me suspect you."
"I realized that I had been wrong from the beginning. It was not some powerful person who drove Uritu to commit suicide, but his faith, and only faith can make people like him willing to take their own lives.
"In the same way, it was faith that made the person hit the dagger later. Well, maybe he was also ashamed... Because he had been shaken in his heart, he urgently needed to re-prove his piety in such a fierce way."
Lu Jingdao, "I should have thought of it earlier. My five senses are sharper than ordinary people, but I didn't feel like I was being followed or monitored along the way. However, the other side could always clearly grasp our every move.
"If it were you, all this would make sense, because with your reputation among the people, you don't need to monitor us at all. As long as you ask casually afterwards, someone will tell you our whereabouts. Almost everyone in this city The people are your eyes and ears.
"Bubler was tested by us and wanted to warn you. What he did was very simple. He just asked Mr. Lu to go to the market and buy a pair of shoes. He didn't even need to find any specific buyer, because as long as he When Dr. Lu goes shopping for shoes, you will definitely know.
"This kind of thing can't even be done by Tongtu Chieftain, but it's easy for you." Lu Jingdao, "That's why I say your biggest problem is that you are too cautious, do too much, and react too quickly. .”
"Is there any more?" Dole got himself a third bowl of wine.
"And...Luo Changshi."
