Great Lawyer

Chapter 60
"How far is it?" Du Jiuyan stood on the elm tree and looked up. The canopy-like tree covered the glaring sun, and the small building in Lufu stood not far away without any barriers.

Qian Daoan frowned, estimated: "Let's say less than thirty feet."

An old man playing a fan under the tree asked with a smile, "Did you ask the distance to Lu's house?"

"Yeah, someone came to measure it?" Du Jiuyan immediately thought of Cai Zhuoru.

The old man nodded and said with a smile: "Young Master Cai also came to ask this question a few days ago, but he didn't guess, but took people to measure it step by step."

"How much?" It was serious enough.

The old man thought for a while and replied, "I seem to have heard that it is 28 feet and three steps."

One meter is folded in one step, and ten meters is folded in one foot.

"This Mr. Cai is interesting. He has done so many things, and there are people who are suspicious. Why don't you check it yourself?" Dou Rongxing asked strangely, "Still measure here."

Du Jiuyan looked at the small building and didn't speak.

"Shh, don't disturb Jiuyan's thinking." Qian Daoan told Dou Rongxing to shut up, while he himself stood quietly aside.

After a while, Du Jiuyan said: "It's not that he doesn't check, but he doesn't dare to check!"

"Don't dare to check?" Dou Rongxing looked surprised, "You mean, he is afraid of offending people who steal things?"

Du Jiuyan stared at Dou Rongxing, suddenly pinched Dou Rongxing's face, and pulled it from side to side, "Dou Rongxing, do you grow your brain just to stretch this beautiful skin?"

Dou Rongxing's handsome face was deformed by her.

"It hurts, woo..." Dou Rongxing patted Du Jiuyan's hand, turned his head and bit her wrist, and Du Jiuyan let go in disgust.

Dou Rongxing rubbed his cheeks and complained: "You are jealous of me."

How annoying, he is taller and stronger than Du Jiuyan, why is he being bullied by her.

"Nine words." Qian Daoan whispered: "You mean, Cai Zhuoru is afraid of knowing what's in that box, so I invite you here."

Du Jiuyan nodded, "That's what he meant."

"What about us? Otherwise, let's quit." Qian Daoan felt that safety was the most important thing, and if he knew something he shouldn't know because of this, the loss outweighed the gain.

"He is afraid, but we don't need it." Du Jiuyan walked slowly with his hands behind his back, "What's more, if someone gives us free money, there is no reason not to accept it."

"Then... what to do next?" Qian Daoan asked.

Du Jiuyan turned a corner and continued to go to Lu's house, knocked on the door and asked the woman who guarded the door: "The young master in the next room, what's his name, where does he usually go around, do you know?"

The woman guarding the door knew who they were, and she had already been informed by Cai Zhuoru, so she immediately replied: "The third young master's name is Lu Zheng, and the name of the watch is still taken by our old man. He is called Shouzheng. He sleeps at home during the day and comes out to do activities at night." Either listening to music in the red building, or hanging out with a group of friends at the gambling house in Yuqian Village."

Gambling was banned in Dazhou, and all gambling houses were opened at night, and they often changed places in order not to let people from the government find them.

In fact, if you look for it, you can find it, but the government takes money to do things, so it just turns a blind eye.

"Thank you." Du Jiuyan cupped his hands, and the mother-in-law sent her off with a smile, and added, "Mr. Du, our cousin also said that if you come to ask about Master Shouzheng, just by the way, his family Live in the alley opposite, the second door is."

"Your Cousin is so considerate." Du Jiuyan praised.

The mother-in-law smiled and nodded, "Yes, our cousin is smart and caring. Our whole family is very happy when he comes."

"Smart people always have a way to make people happy." Du Jiuyan left the Lu Mansion, the three of them walked back, half way, she said: "Go back first, I'll go to the yamen to do something."

Qian Daoan hesitated to speak, and after thinking about it, he dragged Dou Rongxing away.

Du Jiuyan didn't see the lame man right away, but saw the eight police officers stripped naked, taking a bath in the yard, playing and chatting.

She stood at the door, looking around, all men were shirtless and showing their buttocks.

She and Jiao San's yard were not compatible, and when they came here twice, they could always see the man taking a bath.

Leaning against the door, looking at the sky, suddenly someone behind him said: "Are you self-conscious today?!"

"Greasy!" Du Jiuyan looked at the cripple, he was dressed neatly, obviously he didn't take a bath like everyone else, she curled her lips and said, "You're sweating all over after work, why don't you wash?"

A smile flashed across the lame man's eyes, and he said lightly, "I'm afraid you will call me greasy."

"That's true." Du Jiuyan pointed outside, the two stood under the shade of a tree, and she asked, "Do you know how to shoot arrows?"

The cripple was startled, and nodded, "Yes! Want to learn archery?"

"How far can you shoot?" Du Jiuyan asked.

The lame man thought about it and then replied: "Ordinary people have fifty strides, but if it is me, it is eighty strides. If there is a favorable wind, one hundred strides is fine."

"What about me?" Du Jiuyan asked with raised eyebrows.

The cripple frowned, looked at her slender arm, and said with distaste: "If you can shoot, you can take thirty steps at most! After practicing for a long time, you can take fifty steps at most."

The strength of women is still different from that of men.

"Understood." Du Jiuyan waved his hand and left, "It's time to take a shower, you have to take a shower, it stinks."

The lame man frowned, pulled his clothes and smelled them, it didn't smell bad, although he didn't take off his clothes and washed them just now, he still scrubbed and changed his clothes in the room.

He went back to the yard, fetched water and rinsed again.

In the afternoon, Du Jiuyan went home and took a nap, and didn't come out with Yinshou until it was dark and had dinner.

"Ninth brother, you finally know my benefits. Is there anything I need to do today?" Yin Shou followed her with a smile.

Du Jiuyan said, "Take me to the casino in Yuqian Village."

"Do you want to gamble?" Yinshou whispered, "Not over there, the banker is cheating, and if you go in, you will lose nine times out of ten bets."

Du Jiuyan shook the purse in his hand, "Ten taels, if you lose, you will come out."

"It's not enough." Yinshou led her into Yuqian Village, turning left and right, and burrowing around in the village, and finally entered a yard. There was a thatched hut on the west side of the yard, which was very smelly. Flies flew around, but after entering the hut, there was a door inside, opened the door, walked down a section and up the steps, and saw the legendary casino.

A very spacious room without windows, with torches and oil lamps hanging on the walls inside, and densely packed human heads standing in front of more than a dozen tables.

Shouting, threatening and cursing, and crying like mourning.

Crowded.

"This is Pai Gow, over there is betting size, over there is pitching pot, over there is..." Yinshou introduced to her, Du Jiuyan's ears were listening, but his eyes were searching around, Yinshou looked puzzled, and asked Said: "You came to find someone?"

"Yes. Find a 14-year-old boy named Lu Shouzheng." Du Jiuyan said.

Silver hand snorted, "You didn't tell me earlier. Who doesn't know him!" He raised his hand, and among the crowd playing pot throwing, "That's the boy in the vermilion straight gown."

Du Jiuyan followed his gaze and saw the young man, tall and thin, holding an arrow, standing outside the line, and throwing it into the thin long-necked porcelain vase.

With a slap, the arrow fell outside, and the boy kicked the entourage beside him angrily.

The little servant is thick and simple, as if he is not afraid of pain, even grinning when he is kicked.

"Lu Shouzheng, you lost." Someone beside him yelled, mockingly said: "Take the money, this time it's ten taels!"

Lu Shou touched his body, and then his followers, and spat: "Tomorrow, I don't have enough money today."

"Tomorrow will be 20 taels." The man yelled, "Your family is so rich, I want to charge more interest."

Lu Shouzheng took a sip, turned around and walked out, the burly entourage followed behind him, and the two of them left the casino...

Du Jiuyan followed behind.

A group of people left Yuqian Village. The young man was walking, and seemed to find someone following her, so he suddenly turned around!
