Great Lawyer

Chapter 148 Liar Routine ([-])

Sure enough, Du Jiuyan lived here for three days. Shopkeeper Jiang sent someone to look for him, but there was no news of the previous merchant. Shopkeeper Jiang was so angry that his heart ached, and his eyes turned red in front of everyone. It was a big order, but I didn't expect that the other party was a liar."

"This tripod is useless at all, and it is a waste of 2000 taels." Shopkeeper Jiang felt guilty.

Everyone comforted him and felt angry at the same time.

They worked hard for more than ten days, and waited with great anticipation to get the money. Unexpectedly, the bamboo basket fetched water in vain.

"What did the Qingshan Taoist say?" Du Jiuyan asked Heitou.

Heitou said: "They said they don't buy tripods, and even if they did, they wouldn't be able to go to a place as far away as Xinhua to buy them. There are some in Baoqing City."

"What does that person look like?" Du Jiuyan casually picked up a black coal-like stone on the ground, and asked Silver Hand to fetch a white paper. "You tell me, the more detailed the better."

Shopkeeper Jiang was stunned for a moment, and said: "Slender face, hooked nose, goatee, hanging eyes, about 60 years old, fair skin, no wrinkles, very kind smile."

"When he came that day, he was wearing a royal blue straight gown. The fabric was mixed with ice silk. It was shiny and gorgeous, and it was hard to buy in the market." Shopkeeper Jiang recalled, and Liu Daquan added: "That man , here, here..." He pointed at the base of the ear, "There is a mole."

Du Jiuyan showed the drawing, and shopkeeper Jiang tilted his head to look at it, pointing to the corner of his mouth, "This mouth, if you draw the mouth a little bigger, it will look like it."

Du Jiuyan changed it again, and everyone nodded, "That's the person, that's him!"

"Then please ask the lame master, go to the yamen in several places and ask." Du Jiuyan said: "If you play tricks on us, you have to dig him out even if you dig three feet."

The lame man held the portrait and looked at it. Du Jiuyan thought for a while, and added: "This man has ordered a tripod since he came up. You should go and ask first, if you have seen a Taoist priest."

This kind of revenge behavior, as long as the goal is achieved, it doesn't matter what they are asked to do, but it is so rare for the other party to ask them to do something as soon as they open their mouths.

There should be some connection between the two.

The cripple took the portrait and walked three places. He came back two days later and took a picture of the portrait on the table. Du Jiuyan poured tea for him and asked, "How is it?"

"I found it." The lame man said, "Ten miles outside Zhenyuan City, there was a melon farmer who said he had seen this man. He was harvesting melons in the field, and this man came to his field and tricked him into giving him a watermelon."

"It's a Taoist priest!" The lame man said, "There is only Taoist priest Mao in Zhenyuan Mansion who are so flamboyant."

Taoist Mao?Du Jiuyan asked, "What's the background?"

"Longhushan. No one knows what his surname is. A few years ago, he ate and drank with King Gui. Everyone called him Taoist Mao." The cripple said, "It's probably him."

Du Jiuyan narrowed his eyes and said with a sneer, "Everyone has returned to Beijing, so don't forget to trick us once."

"It's King Gui?" Shopkeeper Jiang frowned and said, "Then... we can only bear this loss." King Gui's people have left, not to mention, it's not easy to take advantage of King Gui.

Chen Lang said in a low voice: "In Zhenyuan Mansion, although King Gui is not there, the defense is solid. It seems that King Gui will probably come back again."

"I don't care if he comes back or not." Du Jiuyan said, "It's not that easy to cheat me out of money!"

Little Carrot clenched his fists angrily, "Father, beat him up!"

"Hmm." Du Jiuyan patted his son's head and said, "If there's a chance, of course I'll beat him up, but now I have to get back the 7000 taels I lost."

So many people have worked so hard for so many days, if she bears this loss, how can she convince her brother in the future.

"Do your own thing, I'll go out tomorrow." Du Jiuyan said, walking slowly with his hands behind his back, the lame man followed her, and asked, "You don't want to enter the Zhenyuan Mansion, do you?"

Du Jiuyan rolled his eyes at him, "Am I such a brave person?"

"Yes!" said the lame man.

Du Jiuyan laughed angrily, leaned into the lame man's ear, whispered a few words, the lame man was taken aback, looked at her and said, "Do you think you can do it?"

"Others may not be able to do this, but if I do it, I will succeed in no time."

Early the next morning, Du Jiuyan went on the road alone, heading for Zhenyuan Mansion.

King Gui walked for 28 days. Zhenyuan Mansion was calm and calm, and no one dared to disturb him. Daoist Mao was more at ease without King Gui's oppression. He watched the little lady who closed the window upstairs several times, and she scolded him angrily.

"Stingy!" Taoist Mao curled his lips and was about to go back, when he bumped into someone head-on, he said angrily, "How do you walk, poor people are so precious, you can't afford to pay for the damage."

The other party clapped their hands together and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was in a hurry and didn't see you."

As the man said, he bent down to pick up a few books that fell on the ground. Taoist Mao took a look and saw a book with a very strange black cover. He squatted down in a daze, pressed the book, and looked up. Hit his little brother.

The boy is seventeen or eighteen years old, with fair hair, fair skin, a pair of thick black eyebrows, and a slightly crooked nose. Judging from his appearance, this boy is a lonely boy with a tough life, but he has a pair of eyes. It looks good-looking, but it feels a bit fairy-like, and it dilutes a bit of evil spirit.

There is also the short shoulder-length hair of the boy, which is weird...very special.

"Young master." Taoist Mao held down the book, "Where did you get this "The Encyclopedia of Twelve Constellations for Ascension to Immortals"?" Taoist Mao stared at the boy and asked.

The young man twitched hard, pulled the book back, held it nervously in his arms, and said, "This is my book, and it has nothing to do with you, Taoist priest, go away."

As he spoke, he glanced at Taoist Mao and walked forward quickly.

He bumped into him suddenly, and walked away wanting to refuse or welcome, he must be a liar, here to lie to him!Taoist Mao stared at the boy's back and counted: "One, two, three, turn around!"

If it is a liar, I will definitely look back at him again.

But after he finished counting, the boy had already turned a corner into an alley, without even looking at him.

"Huh?" Daoist Mao smacked his lips, and waited for a while, shaking his fan, but the boy didn't appear again. He became more and more itchy, and chanted the name of the book.

Zodiac, what is the Zodiac?

"I have read a lot of books on astrology groups, but I have never heard of this book. It's strange." Taoist Mao said to himself, and followed the boy's footsteps involuntarily, turning into the alley, "If you lie to me, the title of the book is also... ...so weird."

In the alley, there are two doors, one family on the left and one on the left. Taoist Mao stood at the door for a while, thought for a while and knocked on the door. After asking, there was no boy in the two houses.

"Damn it." The more Taoist Mao thought about it, the more regretful he should have left the boy.

I thought about it all night, and Taoist Mao waited at the same place the next day. What a coincidence, the young man passed by him at the same time and turned into the alley with his book in his arms. door, into the door.

Mao Daoshi crouched and climbed over the wall to go in after dark. In the dark night, through the window, he saw the figure of the young man standing quietly in front of the window, muttering something.

He was sticking to the bottom of the window when he heard the young man say: "That's not right... The Gemini meteor shower should be in these two days, what's wrong, what's wrong."

"I can't be wrong," the young man was annoyed, he beat the table frantically, and sat by the window all night muttering about astrology.

Mao Daoshi listened to the wall all night, seemed to understand it, but didn't seem to hear it.

He probably understands meteors, and he also guessed a little bit about meteor showers. The Geminids meteor shower... what is it?
When it was dawn, the boy hurried to the Town God's Temple in the city with his book in his arms. He didn't do anything, just sat in the gazebo in the backyard of the temple and watched Tiandazao.

"It's amazing!" Taoist Mao actually saw the young man sitting disheveled in the smoky pavilion, and he felt as if he was about to become a god.

"Could it be that you met an expert?" Taoist Mao couldn't help it, he slammed his fan on the pavilion, and said with a smile: "This little brother is interesting, and he is going to take a seat in the Town God's Temple to cultivate immortals?"

The young man rolled his eyes at him, and said, "They are all gods, so why bother."

"Some gods are stingy." Taoist Mao was curious and guarded, "But, what are you doing?"

The young man pinched his fingers, squinted at Taoist Mao, and said: "What I do has nothing to do with you, you leave quickly, don't disturb my cultivation of Taoism and immortality."

"Don't go." Taoist Mao said.

The young man withdrew his energy, stood up suddenly, and said, "I'm leaving!"

"Brother, don't worry." Taoist Mao rolled his eyes, "Actually, I am a Taoist, have you seen it?"

The boy looked at him with disgust, "You are stupid, I am not blind."

"I look at your face, the sky is collapsing, the middle line is skewed, and your fate is evil. If I guessed correctly, one of your parents died early, and you had no noble people in your life. You have been displaced for half your life, right?"

The young man spat at him, "Who half lives? I'm only nineteen, and I can live to be two hundred years old!"

"Yes, you are young." Taoist Mao rolled his eyes. The young man's attention is really strange, and he continued: "I can read faces. If you don't believe me, listen to me again. Have you recently? Something big happened?"

"It has nothing to do with you." The young man looked at Taoist Mao, "I see your horoscope, your fortune is not good this month, and you have to meet big things."

"Although this matter is big, it is a disaster for you. You have to listen to my advice, and I can resolve it for you. If you don't listen, you will die in three days." Taoist Mao said.

The young man stared at Taoist Mao, "You also listen to my advice, stay away from me, don't try to lie to me."

This kid, he still suspects that he is a liar!Daoist Mao was a little uncertain, he felt like it but didn't like it, he laughed and said: "Brother, you believe me, it only takes three days, if what I say doesn't work within three days, I will be considered a loser."

"Who will bet with you?" The boy said, "Do I look like someone who is full and has nothing to do?"

Really not a liar?Taoist Mao changed the subject, and suddenly shouted: "The blue dragon is curled up on the left, the white tiger is on the right, Zhu Zai is flying forward, and the tortoise is at the back." After he finished speaking, he stared at the boy's reaction.

The boy looked at him with disgust, and then spat, "I'm sick!"

"You don't even know this. Could it be that the poor are thinking wrong?" Mao Daoshi thought that if the other party was a liar, then in order to deceive people, he should know a little bit about astrology, but this young man obviously didn't understand anything.

"Wait." Taoist Mao stopped him, and said, "Have you brought your "Complete Book of Twelve Constellations for Ascension to Immortals?"?"

The young man was suddenly furious, he held Taoist Mao and beat him up: "I knew you were after me, you liar. You started following me a few days ago."

"Me? A liar? I didn't even say you were a liar." Daoist Mao stomped behind the running pillar, pointed at the young man and said, "Tell me, are you here to lie to me?"

　Three more today, tomorrow!
