He still rented a carriage and parked it outside Yushi Street not long after.

He hasn't made up his mind yet on how to find out about that ear-opening hunchback today, and he didn't plan to rush up and say that I was the proton that time!I didn't plan to go over and just say I want to know you!

So he slowly strolled around the stone stall on the side of the road, and began to think about how to get close to that person.

Although all the stones displayed outside the Yushi Street are large and small, there are many good varieties in many shops.

People who come to visit this street, there are those in rags who want to get rich with a single stone, and there are also those who wear big banners and domineeringly observe back and forth on the street. There are all kinds of people, the poor and the rich all hold the same purpose. .

Therefore, it is not very conspicuous for people like Duanmu Rui to stroll around Yushi Street.

He went from the beginning to the end, passing by the jade shop that seemed to be collapsing, and then from the end to the beginning, passing by the jade shop that seemed to be collapsing again.

After a few laps like this, Duanmu Rui finally couldn't hold back, pushed the door open and went in.

The store is not as dilapidated as it looks from the outside, on the contrary it is very clean, but the facilities are extremely simple.

This shop doesn't even seem to have the treasure that every jade shop has, let alone a fortune-telling item.

A simple cabinet, a simple table, and a small inner room where there are grinding tools, and a young man is working there.

"Excuse me... is your boss here?" Duanmu Rui was a little uncertain, wondering if this shop belonged to the hunchbacked old man.Only waited for half an hour that day and left.

"My boss is out." The young man raised his head to look at him, "Guest officer wants to polish jade?"

"Ah... yes, I actually came here just because of the name. I wonder when the boss will come back?"

"Oh," the young man presumably was an apprentice, "it might be at night, our shopkeeper has something to do."

"That's it, then I'll come back another day!"

Duanmu Rui went out, but a person came in from the back door of this house.

"He didn't say anything?" asked the hunched boss Luo.

"No, I said I came here for fame," said the apprentice.

"The others?"

"Nothing else."

Boss Luo was about to leave with his hands behind his back when the store door opened suddenly.

"Brother, please..." Duanmu Rui pushed the door open and came in. Boss Luo had no chance to leave, so he froze in place, not knowing how to explain to Duanmu Rui.

"Ah..." Duanmu Rui rubbed his eyes, thinking it was a fool, but there was indeed this person in front of him, "You, you are here!"

The apprentice hurriedly said, "Master, this is the guest officer who just came to you."

He looked at Duanmu Rui again, "This is my master, Master Luo, who just came back."

Duanmu Rui hurried forward and said, "It's a pleasure to meet Boss Luo." He put his hand into the skirt of his clothes to touch back and forth, "I bought a piece of jade a few days ago, and I came here to ask Boss Luo to polish it, but..."

He fumbled around and took out his hand, with the palm up and the palm empty, "I seem to have forgotten to take it. I don't know when Boss Luo will have time. I'll bring the jade over for a visit myself!"

Boss Luo pretended to meet Duanmu Rui for the first time, and bowed to Duanmu Rui, "Guest officer, I'm really sorry. I've been doing acupuncture at the doctor's place when I have trouble with my eyes. Pushing back, I can't take it these days, if the guest officer doesn't dislike it, the old master's apprentice's craftsmanship is also quite good, and I can polish it for the old man."

Duanmu Rui declined politely, he could only say it was a pity.

After leaving this store, he still regretted it all the time. Why didn't he have any relationship with the boss, so he just treated himself as a customer and quit. What was he going to do before?

What a waste of a good opportunity, what excuse will I use next time to get close to this mysterious Boss Luo?

Duanmu Rui failed in his first mission, and he didn't have the heart to go home in a carriage, so he gave the money to the groom and asked the groom to go back by himself, while Duanmu Rui walked step by step on the field path.

The smell of the fields made him feel particularly comfortable, and he was also warmed by the sun.

Walking in the sun like this, Duanmu Rui felt sleepy and hungry.

He left the field, went to the town, found a restaurant that looked pretty good, went in and asked for a good single room.

I ordered a few things I was about to eat, ordered a pot of warm water, and then ordered a recliner, and closed my eyes in this single room separated by bamboo poles.

This restaurant seems to be one of the best in the town, but the design is also unique. The single rooms are not separated by walls, but thick bamboo poles.

Therefore, if the voice next door is a little louder, you may be able to hear it here.

But at this time, there are no other customers in the restaurant except Duanmu Rui.

The food came soon, but Duanmu Rui still closed his eyes, feeling lazy when he felt sleepy.

He put the silver taels on the table in advance, so Xiaoer took the silver taels without disturbing Duanmu Rui's rest.

Xiao Er closes the door and leaves the room.

After a while, there was some slight movement from the next door, Duanmu Rui didn't sleep well, he could hear with his ears, but he didn't bother to open his eyes.

A familiar voice next door asked Xiao Er, "Who are in the store now?"

Xiao Er replied truthfully, "There is only a son sleeping next door, but no one else."

"The young master is still sleeping?" the voice asked, but Duanmu Rui began to raise his guard, why did he come here?

"Yes, I just fell asleep for a while, and it should be time for me to fall asleep."

"Forget it, let's go down."

Xiao Er went out, but Duanmu Rui's previous leisurely expression was frozen there.

He seemed to feel that the person was sticking to the bamboo wall and listening to the movement, so he quickly relaxed and adjusted his breathing to the most relaxed state just now.

The man stopped for a while, then sat back, and said to another person, "Duanmu Rui really went looking for you?"

Duanmu Rui's heartbeat began to be a little messy.

The man next door replied, "Really, just after noon, when I came to my store, I didn't hide well, and I was caught right away."

This person turned out to be Boss Luo from the jade shop just now, and he really knew the Ninth Prince!

"What is his purpose?" Ninth Prince asked.

"I don't know." Boss Luo said, "It seems that he just came here to make jade wares because of the reputation, but he didn't bring any jade wares with him, but he left immediately after asking a few questions. He didn't know what he came to inquire about."

Duanmu Rui's heartbeat gradually accelerated, as if he was the only one kept in the dark.

"Next time, if he finds you, you can polish it for him. If you do it more naturally, he shouldn't doubt it. Maybe it's because of his reputation." The Ninth Prince said.

"I remember he saw me back then," Boss Luo said, "and he was obviously surprised when he saw me the first time."

"Anyway, observe first, don't startle the snake." Ninth Prince kept his voice very low.

Helplessly, there was no one else in the shop except them, and it was extremely quiet, so although they spoke in a low voice, as long as Duanmu Rui concentrated, it wasn't that he couldn't hear what they said clearly.

There was a moment of silence, and Duanmu Rui's heartbeat almost stopped.

"But Ninth Prince..." Boss Luo asked, "I've been holding back on this for two years. If it wasn't Duanmu Rui, but the son of the county magistrate's family, the meat ticket I got to catch that big fish of General Li back then, would you still want to buy it?" Will you let him live and let him go back alive?"

The Ninth Prince gave a "shh", "Be careful that there are ears next door."

Duanmu Rui felt that his heartbeat could no longer be suppressed, and his eardrums were really hurting. If he didn't leave here, the sound of his frightened breathing might arouse the vigilance of the people nearby.

Just when Duanmu Rui couldn't suppress his heart beating wildly and wanted to open his mouth to breathe heavily, the Ninth Prince next door felt that there was no threat from the next door, so he said, "Of course not! Killing one is killing, killing a hundred is also killing, no Stay alive."

"Then why did you keep Duanmu Rui, Ninth Prince?"

Duanmu Rui just wanted to know this question, just now he had gasped for a few breaths while the Ninth Prince was speaking, and now he had the strength to suppress it again, so he held his breath and listened carefully.

The Ninth Prince did not speak for a long time, Duanmu Rui reckoned that it would take about half a stick of incense before the Ninth Prince spoke, "It's probably because people are stupid, but the body is easy to use..."

A large bucket of cold water poured down from Duanmu Rui's head, and Duanmu Rui felt that his heart was frozen instantly.

His hand on the side of the recliner couldn't help trembling slightly, he bit his lip to hold back his anger and didn't scold him, the news was like a thunderbolt to him, it turned out that Liang Pingcheng was only allowed that time, he thought it was a wonderful trip, But in fact he almost lost his life!

If any link is neglected, not only him, but also Zhenzhen, as well as parents, may die!

Duanmurui seemed to be getting to know the Ninth Prince for the first time. Whether he loses his temper or has a good temper, he will not feel intimidated.

At this time, there was a row of bamboo walls, and the Ninth Prince gave him the feeling that he was a murderous monster.

In retrospect, it is also true, there is no life in hand, how can I return safely from the battlefield!

I don't know how to pretend to be in front of his eyes at ordinary times!

The neighbor left at some point, and when Duanmu Rui recovered from his emotions, the restaurant had already started to have new guests.

Duanmu Rui looked at the table full of dishes in front of him, he wanted to eat like hell just now, but now he has no appetite at all.

He confirmed that the people next door had indeed left, and that the two of them were no longer in this town. Duanmu Rui called Xiao Er, rented a carriage for him, and hurriedly left here.

It wasn't until he got home that Duanmu Rui realized that he had gone to the wrong place. The old wooden door beside the moat in front of him had already lost a big copper lock.

When I got home, it was already a little dark, the weather was getting colder, and it was getting dark early.

Madam heard the voice, and before the servants went in to report, she came out to greet her with a cloak.

Duanmu Rui wrapped his cloak and sniffled, he followed his wife into the house, and another servant brought hot water.

"It's really useful now that there are too many people..." Duanmu Rui didn't want his mother to see that he was in a bad mood, so he pretended to be okay and joked with his mother, "I was afraid I couldn't afford it if I saved it before, but now I earn it a month. The silver is also enough to feed them."

Madam smiled and praised the Ninth Prince, "The Ninth Prince bought them all. The monthly payment can be less or not. The Ninth Prince is really a good person, but there are some Omega in the backyard. Listen to your mother. Go relax, don't let these two children suffer what they have really suffered."

"En." This time Duanmu Rui agreed without any hesitation, but he didn't look into his wife's eyes either, and just kept his head down and drank hot water to warm his body.

"Really!" Madam poked him on the head with a smile, "Why did you agree so quickly this time?"

"Think about it!"
