Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 432 Uncle Ren Yuan is a good man

"Master Zhou, tell me, what kind of conflict did you have with your master?"

Su Jing finally got to the point.

This is also the reason why he appeared. An old Zhou is nothing at all. He has to be pulled out from behind.

Although he already knew that there was a marquis behind Lao Zhou, he didn't know who it was.

There is only so much information I can get from Li Mingyou.

Su Jing couldn't figure out whether Li Mingyou really only knew this much, or whether he only dared to say this.

He did not intend to embarrass Li Mingyou, because Li Mingyou's testimony was too weak.

Even if he is really asked to testify, I'm afraid it won't be of any use.

Every time Lao Zhou met with Li Mingyou, they were very secretive and did not leave any evidence.

So Li Mingyou's role has ended here.

"Now that we've talked about this, Uncle Ren Yuan might as well just call me Lao Zhou. It sounds more comfortable."

Lao Zhou said to Su Jing, but did not answer Su Jing's question directly.

"Of course, Lao Zhou."

Su Jing nodded, and then asked: "Is this what you wrote?"

He pointed to the word '人' on the white paper on the stall and asked Lao Zhou.

Lao Zhou replied: "Yes, this is the word I just asked Liu Banxian to tell me about my future and destiny. Since Uncle Ren Yuan said that you also want to tell your fortune, then just use this word and do the calculation again."

"Okay! Then I'll use this word and do the math for you."

Su Jing nodded and accepted it happily.

Liu Banxian looked a little unhappy. This calculation was probably very different from Su Jing's.

After all, they are just talking nonsense with one mouth and forcefully pulling them off.

Lao Zhou stood there without any intention of escaping, just waiting for Su Jing's prediction.

"Old Zhou, I guess the person Liu Banxian calculated for you just now should be a 'prisoner'."

Su Jing said with a smile, which shocked both of them.

Liu Banxian was surprised and shocked. He knew that Su Jing had seen his trick.

Lao Zhou understood that Su Jing had also made a final decision about his future.

"Yes, I wonder what Uncle Ren Yuan will figure out?"

Old Zhou asked.

Su Jing pointed to the word '人' lightly and said: "The word '人' only has two strokes, but it is not the number of strokes that determines whether it is difficult to write a word, just like the word '人' written by you, Lao Zhou. The characters should be standing upright, but now they are lying down, which is really a problem."

"There is a saying that goes without saying that one cannot stand without faith. I think your future and destiny are related to this word of faith, right?"

Su Jing's analysis was naturally not based on what he calculated from the words, but based on the information he had already learned.

"Tch, you're not the same as me."

Liu Banxian whispered.

He originally thought that Su Jing was very good at calculating, but now it sounds like he is just as good as himself.

Lao Zhou looked at Su Jing and smiled and said: "Uncle Renyuan, it is true that people cannot stand without faith, but I don't think I am a faithless person."

Su Jing shook her head and said, "No, no, when I say untrustworthy, I don't mean you, but your master."

"The person in the room on the third floor of Jinling Hotel is not here to save you, but to kill you."

Su Jing directly pointed out what Lao Zhou was most troubled about now. The people sent by Zhu Liangzu were not to save him, but to kill him.

Lao Zhou was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.

What Su Jing said was exactly what he cared about most.

"Old Zhou, the reason why you are wandering on the street is because you don't know what to do, right?"

Su Jing continued: "Your mission is to kill me without exposing your master. Unfortunately, after the mission failed, the first thing your master thought of was to kill you to save himself."

"I can probably guess that you are very loyal to your master, or that he has control over your family or something, but for such a thing, you should be extremely conflicted in your heart at the moment."

Su Jing knew very well that this old Zhou was a key figure.

The murderer behind this is Lao Zhou's master.

Just to be assigned such an important task, Lao Zhou must be his master's confidant.

In Ming Dynasty, there is still loyalty.

"Uncle Ren Yuan, are you still telling my fortune?"

Lao Zhou looked at Su Jing and suddenly asked.

Su Jing paused and said with a smile: "Of course, I told you that I am never vague when telling fortunes."

"Now I tell you, your fate will not change in any way. The only thing you can choose is your master's fate."

Such direct words surprised Liu Banxian on the side.

From the conversation just now, Liu Banxian already knew Su Jing's purpose, which was to instigate Lao Zhou to rebel, or in other words, to get Lao Zhou to reveal his master.

Originally, Liu Banxian thought Su Jing's step-by-step and eloquent persuasion method was very good.

Unexpectedly, Su Jing actually made a big turn, and now there is no room for what she said.

"Hahahahaha!"

Lao Zhou suddenly laughed and said: "Uncle Renyuan, you are really different from ordinary people. But why do you think I will betray my master?"

"I have lost everything now except loyalty. If all loyalty is gone, what do I have?"

Liu Banxian deeply agreed with Lao Zhou's words.

He probably also understood the appearance of the matter, combined with the conversation between Su Jing and Lao Zhou, and the content of the previous time when he told Lao Zhou's fortune.

Liu Banxian guessed that Lao Zhou's master must have given up on Lao Zhou and wanted to distance himself from this matter.

Lao Zhou became an abandoned son.

Such a result is undoubtedly a tragedy.

However, Liu Banxian still felt that what Lao Zhou said was right, people lived just for that breath.

This old Zhou has been loyal to his master all his life, and there is no reason to abandon this loyalty before his death.

Su Jing did not speak, but picked up the brush on the stall and started writing seriously.

He also wrote about people, but compared to Lao Zhou, Su Jing's writing was much uglier.

"Old Zhou, if you really think so, Liu Banxian asked you to tell fortunes, and you shouldn't tell fortunes."

Su Jing spoke as she wrote.

Most of the time, fortune telling is a way to seek psychological comfort.

Especially people like Lao Zhou who do this kind of thing, if they believe in fortune telling, they will definitely not be able to do it.

"Who knows, am I just trying to figure it out today?"

Lao Zhou's expression changed and he seemed a little angry.

Su Jing had already finished writing the two characters for '人' and continued to write: "That's right, who knows? Do some people really need to remain loyal to him?"

"Old Zhou, I know I have nothing to threaten you, but there are some things that are grudges between me and your master."

"Just because you insist on keeping the secret doesn't mean that I can't find him. It just makes it a little more troublesome. I don't know if you believe it or not, but I never tell lies." With the clue of Li Mingyou, there is still There is Lao Zhou in front of me.

Su Jing was convinced that she could find the murderer behind the scenes, but it might be more complicated than finding out directly from Lao Zhou's mouth.

After all, Su Jing now knows that the murderer is a marquis.

The current marquises of the Ming Dynasty only have a few people in total, it’s just a matter of elimination.

"I believe."

Lao Zhou nodded seriously and said: "Uncle Ren Yuan is a strange man in the world, a mentor to the prince, and a specially appointed earl by the emperor. It is unlikely that this matter will stump Uncle Ren Yuan."

Lao Zhou was quite impressed by Su Jing's abilities.

Not only did he escape his own assassination, but he also had the ability to remain without a trace despite Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's search.

Such means are definitely not available to ordinary people.

"So, what makes you still insist on your so-called loyalty?"

Su Jing asked back.

"The so-called loyalty, haha!"

Lao Zhou smiled and said, "Sure enough, in the eyes of big shots like you, we people are actually not worth mentioning, right?"

"You are all superior, and we are all chess pieces that can be discarded at will. Su Jing, do you think I am ridiculous!"

The smile on Lao Zhou's face suddenly turned into anger.

As a dark man, he has always lived in darkness for the sake of the loyalty in his heart.

Now, Su Jing's words really hurt his heart.

"Su... Uncle Renyuan, how can you say that!"

Upon seeing this, Liu Banxian immediately said: "Mr. Zhou, you can't think like this. I don't know who your master is, but Uncle Ren Yuan is definitely not the superior person you said."

"If you think about it, with his ability, it would be easy for him to serve as a high-ranking official in the capital. The Prince's Master is also appreciated by the emperor, but he just lives here in Lishui County."

"He definitely isn't doing it for fame, otherwise he wouldn't be a businessman. So, you must have misunderstood Uncle Ren Yuan."

It has to be said that Liu Banxian is indeed a guy who has been calculating fortunes for half his life. His eyesight and eloquence are very good.

As soon as he said this, Lao Zhou's mood immediately stabilized.

"Oh, Liu Banxian, you and I have not known each other for a long time, but you are much better than those self-righteous people."

Su Jing looked at Liu Banxian, quite surprised.

In this Ming Dynasty, Su Jing always thought that no one could truly understand her, even a little bit.

Because this era is an era of fame and wealth.

Power or fame, there is always one of them that people pursue.

Unexpectedly, this Liu Banxian, although most of his words were quite cliche, he was really right.

"Hmph! Liu Banxian, right? As the saying goes, knowing people but not knowing their hearts, how do you know that Uncle Ren Yuan is not just for fame and fortune? Maybe he just hides it deeper."

Lao Zhou mocked.

He had just been abandoned by his master, and this was the time when he was feeling disheartened and would not think well of others at all.

Liu Banxian shook his head and said: "Mr. Zhou, you are wrong. It is said that a gentleman does not care about his heart when it comes to his deeds. Since ancient times, no one is perfect when it comes to his heart. How a person is depends on what he does, not what he says."

"Uncle Ren Yuan is a good man, a truly good man! I, Liu Banxian, can guarantee this."

Liu Banxian's words really deepened Su Jing's surprise.

How dare this guy say such a thing?

Lao Zhou looked at Su Jing and said: "Uncle Renyuan, he has said so. Shouldn't you give him some reward? After all, you are the richest man in Lishui County!"

Lao Zhou was still sarcastic, ridiculing Liu Banxian for deliberately trying to please Su Jing just for money.

Su Jing was not annoyed. She smiled and took out a piece of silver from her arms: "Old Zhou, you are right. It is indeed a reward."

"Here, take it, Liu Banxian, this is the reward that Lao Zhou asked for from you. If you want to thank you, just thank him."

With that said, Su Jing threw the silver ingot in her hand directly to Liu Banxian.

Liu Banxian hurriedly took the silver ingot, not forgetting to look around to make sure no one paid attention to it.

This ingot of silver is really not a small amount.

Although it is somewhat contradictory to what he said just now to take this reward, but there is no way, it is really too much.

"how?"

Su Jing looked at Lao Zhoudao again.

Lao Zhou's expression was a little strange. He didn't expect that Su Jing would act like this in response to his ridicule.

A normal person would argue, or simply say no.

But Su Jing just smiled and did as he said, which was simply weird!

"Uncle Ren Yuan, you are really a bit unusual, but it's still impossible to ask me to help you in this way."

Lao Zhou said to Su Jing, his tone softened quite a bit.

Su Jing shook her head and said, "No, Lao Zhou, I'm not asking you to help me. I just think you're right."

"Mr. Su!"

At this moment, Zhu Di and his troops arrived in front of Su Jing.

Su Jing and the three of them were not surprised. After all, Su Jing appeared directly on the streets of Lishui County. If Zhu Di couldn't find it, the head of the pro-military captain's mansion would have to be chopped off.

With the arrival of Zhu Di, the surrounding people were quickly cleared.

Because Su Jing has really appeared, the previous secret exploration is no longer needed.

Protection like an iron barrel is what we really need!

If something unexpected happened after finding Su Jing, it would be an unforgivable mistake.

"Your Highness."

Liu Banxian immediately bowed to Zhu Di.

When Su Jing saw this, she said directly: "King Yan, I'm sorry, I've been out for a few days."

Zhu Di immediately said: "Mr. Su, there is no need to apologize. It was us who did not do a good job and failed to protect Mr. Su. I am here to apologize to you on behalf of my father."

As a very responsible man, Zhu Di has no intention of shirking any responsibility.

If Su Jing encounters an accident, it is him and the court's responsibility.

"I didn't expect it to be King Yan. Uncle Renyuan, you really are the emperor's favorite!"

Lao Zhou sighed.

If he saw Zhu Di on a normal day, he would definitely salute.

But now he doesn't care, so naturally he has no respect.

Zhu Di frowned, looked at Lao Zhou, and then asked Su Jing: "Sir, who is this person?"

Su Jing replied: "He, he is the direct planner of my assassination. You can call him Lao Zhou."

"What! Is he the murderer!"

Zhu Di's expression changed suddenly, and he shouted directly: "Guards, why don't we take down this murderer quickly!"
