Chapter 40 Questioning
"This is the blueprint. Tomorrow, after dark, bury the black powder in the place marked on my blueprint!"

At the third brother's house, Lu Jia was sitting at the table wearing a hat, his domineering aura, and the twenty silver ingots and a stack of silver notes resting on his elbows made the third brother look stern. They were much softer, and they knelt down in front of Lu Jia properly.

After receiving the blueprint, the third brother looked down, "On the edge of the forest twenty kilometers outside the North City Gate?"

Lu Jiadao: "Beside the forest, there is an old tree whose trunk has been hollowed out by lightning. The old tree is eighth from the left, and it is buried under this tree. It spans the entire road and is buried until the root of a crooked tree on the opposite side. Next, I marked the location clearly on the drawing."

The third brother frowned, "There is no problem with burying the black gunpowder, but I heard that His Majesty will go hunting in the future, and the city gate has been under martial law recently, and people from the Black Armor Battalion are patrolling along the road.

It’s just a matter of me transporting this black powder out, and then I’ll have to do a lot of work to bury it.”

Lu Jia shook his feet and chuckled: "On this table, there are a total of 3000 taels of cash and banknotes. You have done a good job with the black powder business. This is three times the final payment I promised you."

With that said, Lu Jia glanced at Chun Bao.

Chun Bao directly threw a bundle in his hand in front of the third brother.

The burden was extremely heavy, and after being dropped, there was a bang, and as the burden fell to the ground, the opening of the burden opened, revealing the round pearls inside.

All of them were stolen from Lu's house at that time.

It's in good condition!
It doesn't hurt to spend other people's money.

Lu Jia said: "This is the deposit for burying the black powder. After burying it, I will pay you 1 taels of cash for the final payment."

The third brother was stunned by the load of pearls. He had never seen so many pearls in his age. They were all round and round, and they were many times stronger than the pearls on the head of the top girl in Chunxi Tower.

Before the shocking breath stopped, he heard the 1 taels and the third brother's thighs softened, and he sat on the ground, looking greedily at Lu Jia, "How much? One, 1 taels?"

Lu Jia smiled and said, "Is it a lot? 1 taels is just my pocket money. If you do well, we will often cooperate in the future. It will not be a problem for you to buy Chunxi Building."

The pie is drawn.

Lu Jia waited patiently for the third brother.

The third brother looked at the silver ingots and bank notes on the table and swallowed hard. His greedy face was sullen with excitement, he clenched his fist, "Okay, I'll take this job!"

Lu Jia smiled and said, "Happy, I'll pay you the bill in the days and nights to come!"

Leaving from the third brother, in the dark and quiet alley at night, there is no one, only the footsteps of Lu Jia and Chun Bao, one by one, accompanied by Lu Jia and Chun Bao tearing off the disguised flesh on their faces.

This is the pill I got from the old monk.

This pill is very miraculous. It doesn't take a moment to soak it in the water to reveal a human face, a crooked old woman with vicissitudes.

When it's used up, tear off the face and throw it away at will, and it will turn into dust in the blink of an eye.

A total of four were obtained from the old monk. She and Chun Bao came to Third Brother's place twice and used up all of them.

There is no need to come here again.

Bistro.

In the dead of night, there is no one on the street, and the tavern naturally has no customers. The boys and the shopkeeper have left, leaving only a night watchman who locked the door of the tavern inward?
"Miss, why is the door open?"

The door of the tavern was not locked inward, but was ajar, revealing a gap the size of a thumb.

Lu Jia frowned, stretched out her hand that had been hidden in gauze all night, and pushed the door open.

"came back?"

Xiao Yan was sitting in the tavern, which was the seat Lu Jia always liked to sit in. There was a corner, and behind the chair in that corner was an altar dedicated to the God of Wealth.

Under the altar was hidden the money that Lu Jia had stolen from the Lu family.

Xiao Yan was sitting in front of the altar.

There was no light in the tavern, and the moonlight came in through the large window. In the dim light, Xiao Yan's expression was cold.

Chunbao instantly looked like a cat with fizzy hair, almost screaming out of fright.

Lu Jia frowned, with a breath hanging in his heart, he walked in and said, "You scared me, what are you doing in my tavern at night?"

Xiao Yan looked at Lu Jia, "It's late at night, in the middle of the night, where have you been?"

Lu Jia walked up to Xiao Yan, his hands were inconvenient, he used his feet to pull a chair away, and sat down, "It has something to do with you?"

"I was tortured in the morning, ten fingers were pinched, and the skin was torn apart. I didn't ask a doctor, but I quietly bandaged myself in the private room of the tavern."

Lu Jia raised his brows and stared fiercely at Xiao Yan, "You searched my house?"

Xiao Yan paused for a moment, and said: "I checked, the second prince has never come to the tavern to play chess with you, today at the gate of the criminal department, you two are lying."

Lu Jia's heart beat suddenly.

This dog official has checked enough.

"So what? Is it illegal to tell a lie?" Lu Jia sneered, "Or, Master Shang Shu searched my house for incredible evidence and wants to arrest me?"

"Where did you go?" Xiao Yan changed the question back to the first one.

Lu Jia glanced at him, suddenly raised his eyebrows, and laughed at himself: "Master, really want to know? I don't know if I won't leave today? Okay, you are Lord Shangshu, and I'm just a little concubine who can't be offended by anyone.

I said, I said yes! "

The voice choked up for a moment, and Lu Jia's eyes were red.

"Xiao Yi came to my tavern today, trying to do something wrong to me on the second floor."

Xiao Yan's eyes froze suddenly, as if he didn't expect Lu Jia to say this.

Lu Jia sneered: "Isn't your son very good at investigating? Since you can find out whether the Second Highness has come to my tavern to play chess, then you must also be able to find out whether Xiao Yi entered my room on the second floor." door."

As if angry, Lu Jia took out a small paper bag from his body and threw it on Xiao Yan.

"It's called Yun Die Xiang, which can make people faint. It was given to me by an aunt in the mansion when I came out of Lu's house in Yuhang. It was used to save my life in case of any accident on the way.

Xiao Yi is Lu Wei's husband and the son of Mrs. Rong Anhou, can I provoke him?

Did I resist?

If he wants to tear my clothes off, I can only bear it, if he wants to oppress me, I can only bear it, who made me not want to go back to Yuhang, or marry that old man with a bunch of children at home as a sequel! "

Biting her lip, Lu Jia choked up and forced herself to be strong.

"The powder was simply placed on the bed. I grabbed it and stunned him. He passed out in the room. 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 all over the capital, from the gate of the palace to the gate of the city. I didn't dare to come back to take a look until it was dusk.

Only after he left, I dared to enter this restaurant again.

The room was full of traces left by him. I was frightened, so I asked someone to move the ladder to the roof to relax. Then you came, and then the Second Highness came.

As for why I came back at this time, it's because I don't know where I should live at all?
I am hesitant to go back to Rong Anhou Mansion, but is there a place for me in Rong Anhou Mansion?You saw it clearly when you caught me early this morning.

If I don't go back to the Marquis of Rong An's Mansion, am I going to live in a tavern?Are taverns absolutely safe?If Xiao Yi didn't succeed at the time, how could he find him again? "

What Lu Jia said was [-]% true and [-]% false, his reddened eyes were full of suffocated tears.
