Lu Ding nodded, "You did have some credit for what happened this time, but I can't let you go yet."
"Why?"
"Because you heard something you shouldn't have heard."
"You want to kill me and silence me?" Zhuo Tang was startled, and for the first time there was a look of fear in his eyes.
Lu Jing was not in a hurry to speak. He picked up the third bowl of tea that Yutang had just cooked, drank a few sips, and then said leisurely.
"That's not necessary. If you invite me to tea, I should reciprocate and treat you to tea too."
"Just tea?"
"Just tea."
Although Lu Jing said this, Yutang still felt that things would not be that simple. After a while, she asked again, "When are you going to invite me for your tea...?"
"Don't worry, the tea hasn't been delivered yet."
"When will the tea arrive?"
"Come on, the person who delivers the tea should have already entered the city."
As soon as Lu Jing finished speaking, there was a regular knock on the door outside the courtyard, three long and two short.
Lu Jing stood up and went to open the door. He saw a young man wearing a soap coat and a small crown standing outside the door.
When the young man saw Lu Jing, he took out an iron waistband and handed it over respectfully.
Lu Jing took the waist tag, looked at it, and handed over his own wooden tag.
The young man in soap clothes checked it carefully, and then offered a small bag with both hands.
"Master Lu... what you asked for has arrived."
Lu Jing was not in a hurry to open the package, but asked the young man in soap clothes, "What do you call it?"
"My lord, just ask me to run fast. I am an official in the department who is responsible for running errands. There are many people like me. Your lord, you can call on us at any time if you need it."
The young man in soap clothes smiled a little shyly, then paused and said, "Do you have any other instructions, Mr. Lu?"
"Well, what should I pay attention to when using this thing?"
"Master Lu, is this your first time using guest tea? This tea is no different from other teas. Just fry it normally. Just remember to drink it before it cools down."
"Thank you." Lu Jing casually threw a broken piece of silver to the young man in soap clothes.
Then he closed the courtyard door again.
Zhuo Tang had been eavesdropping on the conversation between the two of them. When Lu Jing turned around, she quickly sat up straight again.
Lu Jing opened the package without carrying her, and took out a small wooden box from inside. When he opened it, there was a small piece of broken tea cake inside, which smelled of a faint fragrance.
"You better do it." Lu Jing pushed the wooden box in front of Zhuo Tang, "I can't make tea as well as you."
Yutang's smile was a little forced, "But I still prefer the tea from before."
"With your intelligence, you should know that you have no choice, right?"
"What exactly does this tea do?"
"It's okay to tell you. You will forget it after drinking tea anyway. The function of this tea is to make you forget some things. That's all. It will not cause any harm to your body."
“How many things will I forget?”
"About ten days."
"Is it just ten days?" Zhuo Tang didn't believe it, her eyes were spinning again.
"Don't be too clever. Just boil the tea. After drinking it, you can continue to be your little witch." Lu Jing said.
"But I don't want to forget what happened in these ten days." Yutang said.
"If you are worried about your errand, you can find a pen and write down the ins and outs of the case... Oh, of course you have to omit the parts related to Si Tianjian and Mr. Ji."
After hearing this, Yutang immediately put down the tea cake in his hand and began to grind the ink.
However, Lu Jing knew that most of the time this seductress would not submit honestly, and she was just delaying time by recording the facts of the case.
But Lu Jing was not afraid of any tricks she would play.
At worst, he would tap on Zhuo Tang's acupuncture points, boil the tea himself and pour it into her mouth.
Sure enough, while studying the ink, Yutang opened his mouth to test again, "That Mr. Ji...is your enemy, right?"
"It's none of your business."
"Let's just chat. As you said, I will soon forget what I have said to you after drinking tea."
"Then there's no need for me to talk to you."
"Stingy." Zhuo Tang pretended to be angry, but after a while she said again, "Since you don't want to talk about your affairs, let's talk about mine."
"What's your problem?"
"For example... aren't you curious about the Paradise Palace behind me? We are the most mysterious sect in the entire demonic world."
"Everyone knows that we are hiding in brothels, but those righteous masters can't find us. Do you know why?"
Lu Jing quietly waited for Zhuo Tang's next words.
But Tangtang was not in a hurry to reveal the answer. Instead, he asked another question, "There are also those unlucky men. They all pretend so well that even their wives, children, and disciples don't know that they have ever been there." The good things they have done, but they can't hide it from us..."
"What do you want to say?"
"I want to say that maybe I can help you find your enemy... Mr. Ji." Zhuo Tang put down his pen, "Or even if I can't find him, I can at least collect information about him.
"No one in this world knows how to get information better than a group of prostitutes. No matter how deep the secrets in a man's heart are buried, we can find a way to dig them out."
"Is it just you?" Lu Jing glanced at Zhuo Tang, "Aren't you just an ordinary disciple of the Paradise Palace? Are you so capable that you can make the entire Paradise Palace obey your orders?"
"Master Lu, why bother pretending to be confused while pretending to understand?" Yutang sighed, "You should have noticed long ago that I am not an ordinary disciple. To be honest, I am actually the goddess of Paradise Palace."
"What is a goddess?"
"You can simply understand me as the next palace owner of Paradise Palace. Of course, the premise is that I can complete a series of challenges. In addition, the current palace owner of Paradise Palace is my mother. I do have some privileges in Paradise Palace. Help It won't be a problem for you to inquire about something." Yutang said seductively.
"Think about it, there are thousands of brothels in the world, and they are all our eyes and ears."
"What you said is very good. I have to admit that I was a little tempted by what you said." Lu Jingdao, "But there is still a problem."
"what is the problem?"
"I don't believe you at all." Lu Jing said lightly, "Even if you really get some important clues about Mr. Ji, I'm not sure if this is a trap set by you and Mr. Ji to deal with me. "
Xutang was speechless.
"So I personally suggest that you just stick to making tea."
At this time, Yutang was also a little discouraged. She had already played the card she thought was the best, but it did not achieve the desired effect, so it was difficult to count on the remaining cards.
Is it possible that I really want to drink that tea?
In fact, it was not unacceptable for Tongtang to lose ten days of memory, but like Lu Jing, she didn't know how true or false the other person's words were.
What if it was poison?
