"How many high-ranking officials, I really don't know. I'm just a small boss of the Yu family's business. I get paid to do things. How do I know about my employer?" The bearded man replied with a hoarse voice and a cry.
"What do you do with money?"
"I'm just collecting accounts and looking for news. I'm responsible for collecting the lives of these three fallen people." The bearded man replied honestly.
I see.
"Then have you seen your employer's appearance?" Cen Meng continued to ask after receiving a Zhao-like look.
"I've seen it!" The bearded man nodded sharply.
"Tell me what it looks like?"
"Well, he is not tall, with a medium build. He is wearing a green robe, a purple tie, and a cross-legged kimono, which covers half of his face. The younger one can't see his face clearly."
"Are you sure it's the futou that crosses the foot and not the futou that faces the sky?" Zhao Si suddenly interjected and asked.
Luo Chi thought for a while, and finally nodded to confirm.
"Did you listen to what he said?" After receiving Zhao Si's hint, Cen Meng continued to ask.
"When the younger one went in to receive the order, he heard three or four sentences."
"Can you hear the accent?"
Luo Zihua thought for a long time before hesitantly said: "It should be around Gyeonggi Road."
However, Zhao Si keenly discovered the mystery behind the words and interjected, "Isn't it a Kaifeng accent?"
"The accent he spoke was from Kaifeng, but the younger one could tell that he learned it later. The real accent should be from Luoyang or Zhengzhou."
Zhao Si narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a half-smile: "You know this person!"
The bearded man was so frightened that he shook his head in denial.
"Master Gao, add a can of salt to him." Zhao Si ordered leisurely.
"Sir, please spare my life! I am willing to speak!"
Before Zhao Si could speak, the bearded man said first, "It's Gao Qiu. Although that guy changed his clothes, I could recognize him at a glance."
"This guy used to be a good kicker of Cuju. He once competed with us. Not only is he good at playing, but he is also vicious and shameless. He kicked several of our brothers into pieces. Even if he turns to ashes, I will recognize him."
Seeing the leader Zhao Si's face softening, the bearded man quickly begged for mercy: "Master, I have said everything, I just beg for my life!"
This group of people was so ferocious that they chopped down three of their companions in a single encounter. They were already dead. They wanted to know if they could survive.
He knew this just now and wanted to grit his teeth and endure it.
But the high-ranking official in front of him was young but cruel, so he just rubbed salt into the wound.
I really can’t stand it! I’m not made of iron or copper.
What's even more frightening is that he has extremely sharp eyesight, and I can't figure out where the flaw is, but he actually finds out that I know Gao Dalang.
Now that the recruitment is over, I have to worry about whether people will silence me.
Why am I so miserable?
The bearded man turned his head and looked at Cen Meng with pleading eyes.
"What's your name?" Cen Meng asked calmly.
"The younger one's name is Liu Chuanfeng. The brothers in the martial arts community praised her and gave her the nickname "Shen Shan Po".
Liu Chuanfeng was a clever man, and he hurriedly called out his nickname so that Cen Meng, who had been in the martial arts world, would be more sympathetic and show his respect.
"Then do you know who the high-ranking official you offended today is?"
"who?"
"Young Prince Jian is a kind and righteous young man. I have also been a good person for a long time and joined the imperial army. Now I am working as a guard in Prince Jian's palace."
"Ren - Xia Xia Xia Hao - Yi Xiao - Jian Jian - Wang." Liu Chuanfeng stuttered out the name in full.
At this moment, he realized that he had gotten into big trouble and got involved in something big that he should never be involved in.
"Little... gurgling..." Liu Chuanfeng made several strange screams in his throat and could no longer speak.
"Liu Chuanfeng, before you entered the courtyard, you should have inquired about Xu Ergui's details, right?" Zhao Si suddenly asked.
Liu Chuanfeng raised his head suddenly and saw Zhao Si's expression clearly, as if he had found a life-saving straw, he nodded repeatedly.
"I asked around and found a lot of news."
"Say!" Zhao Si just said one word lightly.
Liu Chuanfeng swallowed a mouthful of saliva and wanted to bargain, but when he saw Zhao Si's calm face, he trembled with fright and said everything in his head.
"Xu Ergui has three brothers. The eldest brother Xu Dagui died of illness a few years ago. When he was a child, his family sent one of his younger brothers to live with a wealthy family... Xu Ergui got married a few years ago and has a four or five-year-old son... I heard from neighbors,
Xu Ergui works in a restaurant in the inner city. When anyone asks, he is always very reserved and refuses to say anything."
Zhao Si smiled coldly, "He moved very quickly. Xu Tongan is Xu Sangui, and not long after the news came out that he also has an elder brother, Xu Ergui, you found out his details..."
After speaking, Zhao Si pointed at Liu Chuanfeng and said to Cen Meng.
"I promised that Liu Chuanfeng will be yours to deal with."
After Zhao Si finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the main room. As he walked, he said, "Look around, there should be clues in the room as to which restaurant Xu Ergui works in."
Cen Meng stood there depressed.
You promised, when did you promise, have I ever asked?
This Liu Chuanfeng is a troublesome person. If you kill him, you will be unethical and your conscience will not bear it. If you don't kill him, you will be afraid that the news will leak out.
Well, the news leaked? Yes, if His Highness was worried about this guy leaking the news, would he still leave it to me to handle?
His Highness is not a soft-hearted person.
"I'll forgive you first, and then I'll let you go after we leave." Cen Meng tied up Liu Chuanfeng and gagged his mouth with a cloth.
"You are a smart man. You will know what to say when you escape later, right?"
Cen Meng was looking forward to Liu Chuanfeng's answer, but he saw the guy opposite him rolling his eyes wildly and being silent for a long time. He was about to get angry when he realized that he had blocked his mouth.
As soon as Liu Chuanfeng's mouth was opened, he hurriedly responded: "Don't worry, Zi Zai Lang, I know what to do. After you leave, I will go back and call someone to take the body away quietly. This time the employer will give you more money.
There was an ambush in the attack. The raiders had already prepared money for settlement and burial. Those in our line of work have already expected that sooner or later they will be killed."
"Tell your Yu Dalang when you get back. Stop it and don't wade into this muddy water again."
"Zi Zi Lang, the conscience of heaven and earth, if we had known that this matter was so involved, we wouldn't have dared to come here even if we had ten more courages." Liu Chuanfeng called out to Chong Tian Qu, "It's just Zi Zi Lang, why did Prince Jian deign to wade into this muddy water?
"
Seeing the fierce flash in Cen Meng's eyes, Liu Chuanfeng wanted to bury himself in the ground.
"Zi Zai Lang, please quickly shut up my mouth. This is such a broken mouth! I really want to find a needle and thread to sew it up!"
After Cen Meng gagged Liu Chuanfeng, he walked into the north room.
Except for Xue Fanzi who was on guard in the yard, everyone else was searching for relevant clues.
Ming Zhaoxia came out from the kitchen with something and handed it to Zhao Si.
This is a gold-rimmed wine cup with flowers and lotus branches. It is very exquisite and gorgeous, and is incompatible with this courtyard and these simple houses.
Zhao Si took the wine cup and looked at it carefully and suddenly smiled.
He handed the wine cup out smoothly, "Look, which restaurant's utensil is it from?" This chapter has been completed!
