Chapter 9 Security
"I originally wanted to guard this shop in case my wife and daughters came back one day.

I don't guard in case they come back and can't find me.

But after two months of guarding, I couldn't keep it anymore. In this shop, I couldn't eat during the day and couldn't close my eyes at night.
If it’s just me, that’s all. I’ll wait for them. One day I can’t bear it anymore, but I still have a son who is only three years old this year.

I can't let him lose his mother, sister, and father.

The family house has been sold, and I just wait to transfer this shop out, and I will take him back to his hometown.

I don't want too much money. If you want to take over this shop, just give me 500 taels. "

500 taels is indeed not much.

This location, this size, any store will start at 3000 taels.

This man asked for this price, not really asking for a selling price, he just wanted a price to free himself from the shackles.

Once the shop is sold, people can leave, and there is no reason to stay any longer.

Lu Jia couldn't understand this point.

"Okay, 500 taels means I got a great deal, so I wish the boss all the best in the future. I didn't bring any money when I went out today. Let's see you at the government tomorrow.

You bring the deed, I bring the bank note, and we transfer the ownership face to face in the government.

How about the end of the day and the beginning of the day? "

Lu Jia's straightforwardness made the man feel uneasy, "My shop. You don't think about it anymore?"

Lu Jia waved his hand, "Life and death are destiny, wealth and honor are in the sky, I don't care about these, see you tomorrow."

After coming out of this tea house, Chun Bao approached Lu Jia, and said in a low voice, "Miss, don't you feel that what the boss said is very familiar."

Lu Jia looks at Chun Bao.

Chun Bao took a bite of the pepper chicken, and said while eating, "It's exactly the same as what happened on the boat, there were also old monks on board, and the two masters and servants disappeared from the secret room, and we were just guarding outside the door, and we couldn't find anyone.

It was such a big boat, and the people from the Jingwei camp searched it up and down, but found nothing. "

It is indeed the same.

Whether it is the process of the incident or the form of the incident, it is almost the same.

Lu Jia thought about it when the man said that, but now she doesn't know where the old monk is at all, and it's useless to ask the man more, it's just to let him recall it again.

"500 taels, where can I get it?" Lu Jia didn't answer Chun Bao's words, and Chun Bao didn't wait for her to answer, he chewed two bites of pepper chicken and asked a new question.
Lu Jia laughed and said, "Have you ever heard of a saying that house thieves are hard to guard against?"

Chun Bao immediately stared with round eyes, his eyes filled with excitement, "Let's rob Rong Anhou's mansion? Who should we rob?"

"Whoever has the money will grab it."

With Chun Bao's hand, Lu Jia tore a piece of chicken skin from her pepper chicken and threw it into his mouth. After chewing a couple of bites, before he swallowed it, an acquaintance appeared in front of him.

Xiao Yan.

He was wearing an old-fashioned black robe, followed by two people in official robes and seven or eight people in black iron uniforms from Jingweiying, and came out of the shop opposite Jingchun Tea.

Caught off guard, the four eyes met, and it was difficult to even pretend not to see.

Xiao Yan's brows were already tightly frowned, but the moment he saw Lu Jia, he frowned even deeper.

He tilted his head and said something to the dog officer next to him, and the two dog officers led the people from the Jingwei camp to the shop next door, and Xiao Yan walked towards Lu Jia.

"If you don't stay in the mansion, what are you running out to wander around!" Opening his mouth, he just couldn't speak well.

Lu Jia rolled his eyes, "Master Xiao, people, the reason why they have legs is for the freedom of walking."

Xiao Yan looked at her with lowered eyes, his eyes were restrained and peachy, and there was no emotion in his eyes, only coldness.

"You don't even want your life for the sake of freedom? If you want to find death, you can also find a decent way. How good it is to swallow gold and kill yourself. You can still leave something real in your stomach. In the future, you may be reincarnated as a golden spoon."

The mouth is really poisonous.

Lu Jia glared at him, "None of your business."

Probably because Xiao Yan had seen Lu Jia's slapstick beating posture today, he didn't think this sentence was disobedient, but just sneered, "If you die in another world, it's none of my business, but if you die here, it's out of thin air. Increase my caseload.

Not to scare you, just behind you, there was a murder in a secret room two months ago. The three victims were not alive or dead, and we are still searching for the murderer.

If you don't want to die, you don't even have a corpse, so don't run around. "

Lu Jia looked at Xiao Yan, raised his eyebrows suddenly, and laughed, "That's unlucky, I just negotiated the price with Jing Chunming's owner, and I'm going to sell this shop tomorrow."

She smiled unruly and perversely.

Xiao Yan originally planned to come over and reprimand Lu Jia to go back to the house quickly, and don't cause any trouble by wandering around outside.

I never expected to hear such a sentence.

The effect of these words is equivalent to Lu Jia beating up the nanny when he entered the door today.

Xiao Yan, Minister of the Ministry of Justice at a young age, trembled from the corners of his eyes in shock, "Take it off? What are you going to do?"

Lu Jia looked disgusted, "Returning the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, look at how well you asked this question, what are you going to do after the offer? Of course, it is to open a tavern. I will talk about it at the pier today."

Xiao Yan:.
"You really want to open a tavern?"

"Could it be fake?" Lu Jia shrugged his shoulders with a tut, "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, and I won't delay our young talent, Mr. Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, to handle the case. I'm leaving."

After speaking, Lu Jia waved his sleeves and took Chun Bao away.

He only took two steps, then stopped suddenly, looked back at Xiao Yan and smiled, "Master Shangshu, the manor may hold a clean-up banquet for me tonight, let's go back together? Maybe dinner will be served soon."

Xiao Yan ignored Lu Jia, turned around and walked in the direction of the Jingwei camp.

Lu Jia shrugged and turned to leave.

"Miss, are you really going to that shit cleaning party?" After taking two steps, Chun Bao asked Lu Jia, "That bunch of women is enough to give me a headache just looking at them."

Lu Jia said with a smile: "Xiao Yan looks like he won't be able to go back for a while. Let's do the dust-cleaning banquet tonight and see what good things are in Madam Rong Anhou's room."

"Why can we do it if Xiao Yan can't go back?" Chun Bao was puzzled.

"Because Xiao Yan doesn't go back, many of his guards will follow him outside, whether they are open or not, so it will be easier for us to set fire to his courtyard."

Chunbao was even more puzzled, "Why did we set fire to his courtyard?"

"Because there was a fire in his courtyard, when Mrs. Rong Anhou yelled that she had lost something, Xiao Yan would not believe her, but would doubt her. Have you ever heard an idiom?"

"The villain should file a complaint first!" Chun Bao immediately responded with wide-eyed eyes.

"So clever!" Lu Jia smiled and pinched her face, "As long as Xiao Yan and Mrs. Rong Anhou meet each other, we will be safe."
