Chapter 163

Yunzi doesn't look like martial arts in appearance, she is just a young girl in the flowery season. Therefore, her appearance may not attract the other party's attention, which is conducive to subduing her unexpectedly. Of course, there are also her own hypnosis and martial arts taught by Xiaoxiao. Therefore, the first step is to take the other party down without blood. That is the best, but if she fails or cannot be used for other reasons, then she can only rely on herself to capture him with her minion. Therefore, the minion is the most important.

When Lu Jinping was thinking about who to take, Ye Qingqing came and said, "Sir, if you go to catch that thief, Qingqing will have to go with you! I can't let you take risks alone!"

Yunzi looked at Ye Qingqing's pretty face and smiled, thinking, in terms of martial arts alone, Ye Qingqing may be slightly inferior to Yunzi, but how much difference can this difference play in uniform turtles? Moreover, Ye Qingqing is his servant, so it is even more difficult to attract attention with her. This is less likely to arouse the other party's alertness than a girl with a face in the Western Regions. So it is also her advantage to bring Ye Qingqing. Besides, when he saw Ye Qingqing's pitiful appearance, Lu Jinping really couldn't bear to refuse.

So Lu Jinping said, "Okay, then I'll take you. You go and prepare a box, fill it with stones, lay our silver on it on it, and carry it on your back."

Ye Qingqing was very happy, her eyes were filled with excitement, and she said to Lu Jinping: "Do you want to bring your box?"

Every time Lu Jinping goes out to investigate a case, he has to bring his forensic investigation box, and this box has always been carried by Ye Qingqing. Of course, if he only brings Yunzi, then Yunzi will be responsible for this job.

Lu Jinping shook his head and said, "We are going to catch people today, so we don't need to bring that box. But you have to be fully prepared and not carry weapons, because I guess I will be subject to strict inspection when I get on the boat. Do you have the confidence to uniform the other party with your bare hands?"

Ye Qingqing thrust his chest and said, "Of course there is! My boxing skills are pretty good. Even if I don't use swords, as long as I don't meet a top-notch master, I have the confidence to take the other party down."

Lu Jinping nodded in approval. He knew that Ye Qingqing would not brag, so of course he was really confident when he said this.

In fact, Lu Jinping didn’t know how high Ye Qingqing’s martial arts skills were, but Ye Qingqing said so, which made the stone in his heart slightly lower.

After I was about to stop, I waited for the night to come.

Second update.

A luxurious carriage was parked in front of Lu Jinping's house, and Boss Gao came to greet him in person. Lu Jinping got on the carriage, and he had already changed into a brocade robe and brought a pretty maid Ye Qingqing. He was carrying a box of money. Of course, most of the money in this box was just stones.

I drove the carriage and came to the banks of the Tongzhou River. A bright moon hung high in the sky. Although it was already spring, the cold wind was still cold. After all, it was early spring in February, especially on the river at night. There was no boat on the river, and no lights were seen on both sides of the river. At this time, I had basically fallen asleep, with only the sound of the river water flowing.

The carriage of Gao was parked at Tongzhou Wharf. Lu Jinping took Ye Qingqing down the stone steps and walked over the scattered pedal to the side of the ship.

When he arrived on the boat, Boss Gao led Lu Jinping into the pleasure boat. There were two people sitting inside, one was a white and fat middle-aged man, and the other was a noble lady. When the noble lady saw Lu Jinping, her eyes suddenly shone and her eyes became tender. She glanced at her from time to time.

When the middle-aged man saw Lu Jinping, he nodded with a faint expression. Anyone with power must behave in style. After all, he did not know that the young man in front of him was actually the judicial officer of Tongzhou. Because there was no TV or newspaper in the Tang Dynasty, there were very few people who could really see the appearance of officials.

Of course, Boss Gao would not take the initiative to disclose Lu Jinping's identity. He just smiled and said simply that this was Mr. Lu, and then introduced the two, but neither of them were from Tongzhou. Lu Jinping thought that Boss Gao was meticulous. If they invited famous gentry in Tongzhou, they might have recognized Lu Jinping, so they invited people from neighboring prefectures and counties.

After seeing the ceremony, they each sat on their own soft couch, savored tea and ate fruit and snacks.

The pleasure boat slowly drifted to the middle of the river and went down the river. I saw the silhouettes of the green mountains on both sides, rising and falling in the dark night, like a dragon squirming its back. Listening to the sound of the river, it seemed particularly quiet. The three people in the pleasure boat didn't speak, just looked at the night outside, waiting for the last person to come, except for the young woman occasionally looking at Lu Jinping.

Obviously, for the other two people, they didn’t know who the last person was. Because this bet was prepared by Gao Boss. The participants did not say it in advance, but they could trust Boss Gao’s character in the gambling industry, at least absolutely safe.

However, we waited until the sound of the third update came from the shore, and we had not seen the person appear. They all frowned slightly because they agreed to start gambling from midnight to the end of the next day when the bet turned white. But at this time, we did not see the last person appear.

Lu Jinping was the most anxious because he was here to capture the turtle, and this person was probably secretly coming to capture his gangster master. Lu Jinping wanted to take action first. But now this person has not shown up.

After waiting for half an hour, Boss Gao's forehead was sweating coldly. He looked at Lu Jinping several times. Seeing that he looked calm, he calmed down a little. He muttered and scolded him, why didn't he come yet? Looking around at the bow of the boat. However, there was only the rippling waves under the night on the river, so where could he see the boat?

The fat man finally couldn't help it and said to Boss Gao: "What's going on? Manager Gao, but it's agreed that Zishi was starting and he didn't come yet. Could it be that he was playing with us?"

The pretty young woman also snorted, twisted her slender snake waist, glanced at Lu Jinping inadvertently, and said, "It's true, it's okay for us to wait, but let this young master Lu wait like that. What kind of morality is that? Manager Gao, he has an appointment today, and we can settle the score with you, right? Young Master Lu." After that, his eyes looked at Lu Jinping with a scorching look.

Lu Jinping felt his gaze, but did not look up at her, but just smiled faintly and said, "Shopkeeper Gao, it has been half an hour since he doesn't come, so he has to go home tonight."

The fat man stood up and said, "If he doesn't come, we will bet on the three of us. We are not for him alone, and there are also Boss Gao. You can also get together. We four will become four?"

Boss Gao wanted to please Lu Jinping. If he didn't catch the turtle today, he was afraid that Lu Jinping would turn against him. He was really frightened and wanted to find a way to lose some money for Lu Jinping, so he had to go to maneuver. Of course, he smiled and said repeatedly: "Let me do this, I will be a boss, start, and bet with the three of you, how about it?"

The fat man smiled and said, "That's good. Manager Gao's gambling skills are as good as a god. I haven't had a good time with Manager Gao. It's rare that I have a chance today, so I must have a good experience."

The young woman curled her lips and said, "Although I have never seen Manager Gao's gambling skills, today I agreed that Manager Gao was only responsible for convening and not participating in gambling. The four of us were betting, but that person didn't come. Otherwise, the three of us would bet? The rules cannot be broken. If you want to bet with him in his casino, today he was just anxious. The convener could not participate in gambling. Rules are rules, right? Brother Lu."

Lu Jinping didn't know why she was unwilling to bet Gao, and his reason was not tenable. Although Lu Jinping didn't know the rules in the casino, Lu Jinping's main purpose was not to bet on the pleasure boat. He was not interested in gambling. He was thinking about catching the turtle. Since the person has not come and the plan has failed, it is better to go back to bed as soon as possible.

So Lu Jinping stood up in a hurry and waved his hand, "Sorry, I still have something to do. Since the gambling game is not done today, please ask Manager Gao to instruct the boatman to take me back."

When she heard this, Zhangguan Gao suddenly had a cold sweat on his forehead. He thought of losing some money to Lu Jinping, but the young woman found a reason not to let him participate in gambling, and Lu Jinping was even less interested in gambling with him. So how could he send the money out? When she was just talking and wandering, she heard the young woman giggling and said, "Brother Lu is so anxious to go back. Is there a beautiful wife waiting in the bed at home? Hehehehe?"

Lu Jinping smiled faintly and said, "Madam is joking, I really have something to do." After that, he looked up and said to Boss Gao, "Shopkeeper Gao, if you are not convenient to send me back to the dock, you can take me ashore. I see that there is a small boat on your boat, so I will just use the small boat to row over it, so it won't affect your continued play in the pleasure boat.

When he heard this, Boss Gao was even more frightened and said hurriedly: "I will order to turn the bow of the ship and send Brother Lu back to the dam."

The young woman glanced at Big Gao and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Gao, you are very kind to Brother Lu. You are more than half older than him, but you call him brother. It seems that Brother Lu is not an ordinary family. In this way, my sister wants to have a chance to compete with Brother Lu. Brother Lu won't let my sister down, right? Storekeeper Gao, don't go back to the dock, just walk slowly along the river. When it's almost time, then turn back to the dock to ensure dawn. Listen to me!"

Now, Boss Gao was even more frightened and looked at Lu Jinping pitifully.

Then Lu Jinping looked up at the young woman and said lightly: "Madam, why do you have to bet with me?"

"I like my brother. Isn't this a reason? Come on, bet with my sister all night, and it will be good to give you."
