When Du Ruo entered the inn, the corner of his mouth suddenly twitched violently.

In the inn, Heitou and two other members of the Juyi Gang were tied to the pillars in the lobby. They looked at Du Ruo pitifully. There were many people in the inn, even quite a few acquaintances, sitting on Heitou's table.

The person next to me was joking.

When these people saw Du Ruo coming in, they all burst into laughter.

Someone explained: "Brother Du, you can't blame us for standing idly by. Xue Captou has made a lie. Apart from you, anyone who dares to let Heitou and the others go will be in trouble with her. She will definitely visit them one by one tomorrow.

"

Du Ruo walked over, tied up Heitou and others, and said silently: "Xue Captou asked you to wait at the inn, so just wait, why bother yourself?"

Heitou said aggrievedly: "Master, you have wronged us too much. We are just worried about your safety."

Du Ruo smiled and said, "Then if Capt. Xue wants to trouble me, what's the difference if there are more of you? Just resist the beating?"

Blackhead scratched the back of his head and grinned stupidly.

"Okay, okay," Du Ruo patted the blackhead and said, "I know what you are thinking. I understand everything. Well, let's sit down and have some food first."

At this time, it was raining heavily outside, and many people were rushing back to the inn. There was already a lot of water at the door, and there were messy wet footprints on the floor.

Just as Du Ruo and Heitou were sitting down, a young man wearing a tattered gown walked in from the door, holding an old umbrella that was still dripping with water and carrying a dusty baggage on his back.

This young man looked very downcast, and his hair seemed to have not been washed for many days. The hair in front of his forehead was hanging down. After walking into the inn, he looked around and found that there were no free seats. He was about to find someone to share a table with, but instead

They all showed a sense of disgust.

The waiter at the shop didn't seem to be willing to receive such a customer, but he couldn't shirk it, so he walked over slowly and said: "This young man, is he staying in a hotel or a top-notch person? If he is staying in a hotel, we have no time."

The room is ready. If it’s a high-end, you may have to wait a little longer. I’m really sorry.”

"It doesn't matter," the young man waved his hand and said, "Just give me some leftovers and I'll be able to deal with it. As for housing, just arrange a woodshed for me to sleep in for one night. When it doesn't rain tomorrow, I won't have to."

Housing."

The waiter was stunned for a moment, but he was not sarcastic, but he was confused: "Sir, our inn has never allowed guests to sleep in the woodshed. I have to ask the shopkeeper for instructions, you..."

At this time, Du Ruo came over and said to the waiter: "Brother, you don't need to bother me. This brother will sit at the same table with me for dinner. Besides, I have enough room there."

"Ah?" The waiter was surprised.

Du Ruo waved his hand and said: "You go down first!"

The waiter hurriedly bowed and left.

Du Ruo turned his head, smiled and cupped his hands to the young man, and said: "Brother, this is the second time we have met. Meeting is fate. Everyone has a time when they can't give in. If you don't dislike it, please move on.

!”

Du Ruo noticed this young man as soon as he entered the door, and the impression was very profound. He had seen this man on the Qingyinfang flower boat in Gusu City some time ago. At that time, the young man was carrying a scroll on his back and a sword on his waist. Although it was very

Simple, but not so abject, and Lu Yang himself said he was a very dangerous person.

Although he didn't know why this person was so depressed, Du Ruo was still very interested in making friends with such a person. What's more, the scroll of this person is still in his room, and he has been thinking about returning it if he has the opportunity.

Moreover, what made Du Ruo look at him with special eyes was not only that this person had Lu Yang's high evaluation, but also the temperament revealed by this person. Although he was down and out, he didn't have the slightest feeling of inferiority.

The young man looked at Du Ruo, shook the umbrella in his hand, smiled with interest, and said, "Brother, you are wrong. This is the third time we have met."

"Huh?" Du Ruo asked doubtfully, "Please give me some advice."

The young man slowly reached into his arms, took out a few pieces of silver, handed it to Du Ruo, and said: "I came to this inn just to pay you back. Originally I was going to help you once and then take it as reward, but

I have never had a chance, and now it seems that I have no chance, so I will use this money to pay you back."

Du Ruo looked at the few pieces of silver and thought that before he met the serial murderer Chen Yue that day, he saw a very down-and-out scholar. He felt pity for him and deliberately threw away some pieces of silver.

Looking at the young man, Du Ruo smiled, took the money happily, and said, "It's a waste of time."

"No, no, no," the young man said, "Brother, this is very necessary. In fact, I feel sorry for not being rewarded for my merits. Of course, if brother insists on giving me one hundred and eighty taels, I will

I have no choice but to refuse the hospitality."

Du Ruo smiled from the bottom of his heart, cupped his hands and said, "I am Du Ruo in Xia Shu, whose name is Shan Jiang!"

"I'm Wang Que, Suzhou."

Du Ruo's brows twitched and he blurted out: "Wang Que, the crazy student who plays the imperial examination in three plays?"

Wang Que waved his hand and said: "I don't dare to be crazy. I'm just being more humorous. In fact, I'm more of a romantic!"

Du Ruo: "..."

You are a lang!

Wang Que patted his gown and said, "Hey, Brother Du just said that I would like to invite you to dinner. Why are you standing here? Eat. I am not polite. I will take everything you say seriously."

Du Ruo stretched out his hand and said: "Please!"

Heitou was very good at making trouble. When he saw Du Ruo calling people over, he hurriedly called the other two Juyi Gang members to make room for Wang Que.

Wang Que was really a slut. He was not polite at all. He sat down directly. He didn’t care if the bowl had been used by someone before. He just picked it up and ate it with big mouthfuls. While eating, he said: "

Brother Du, it's not that I'm thick-skinned, you invited me yourself. If you didn't ask, I would never come to eat and drink. I have principles."

Naturally, Du Ruo didn't take this little thing to heart, and even poured a cup of tea for Wang Que himself, put it in front of him, and said, "I also believe that you are a principled person. If you don't have principles, you won't do it again and again."

I teased the examiner again and again."

Wang Que picked up the tea cup, drank it all in one gulp, and handed the cup to Du Ruo, saying, "One more cup, thank you." After swallowing the food in his mouth, he took the tea cup from Du Ruo's hand and said, "Du Ruo

Brother, you misunderstood, I really wasn’t teasing the examiners, I just thought I should answer that way, but who knew those examiners insisted on being serious, and there was nothing I could do about it.”

Du Ruo smiled and did not argue, but said: "Brother Wang, I saw you carrying a scroll before. Did you lose it?"

"Yeah." Wang Que responded with his head buried.

"Is it important?" Du Ruo asked.

"Very important." Wang Que replied.

"I picked it up." Du Ruo said.

Wang Que raised his head, with a big mouthful of rice in his mouth, and looked at Du Ruo in shock.

Du Ruo pointed to the food on the table and said: "Brother Wang, continue to eat. After the meal, I will return the scroll to Zhao intact. Don't worry, there is no damage at all."

Wang Tiao nodded, then lowered his head to eat, then suddenly raised his head, his expression became very serious, he leaned forward a little, leaned into Du Ruo's ear, and whispered: "I can do something for you, anything, even if
