"Shopkeeper! I was looking for Zhang Baogu and Zhang Yuanwai. I just saw him come in. Why is he missing now?"

As soon as Zhang Baogu put the broken silver in, he heard a familiar voice of inquiry coming from the gambling house behind him.

Shopkeeper Song!

He hurriedly looked back and saw that it was shopkeeper Song who led three men into the gambling house and was asking the shopkeeper.

"Zhang Fugu, isn't it right there...eh? You were playing at that table just now, why did he disappear?"

Shopkeeper Song turned around and saw that there was no one he was looking for in front of the table pointed to by the other party. After looking around again, he suddenly saw the open back door and the courtyard door outside was also open. He immediately stamped his feet, "Wow!"

Call out.

It didn't matter what he called, Zhang Baogu, who was standing in the middle of the courtyard, shivered intuitively, twisted his body like a mouse before a cat, and ran towards the courtyard door.

"thump!"

"Crash!"

Already panicking, he stumbled over the threshold and fell almost a foot away. The scattered silver in his arms splashed all over the ground like mercury.

Zhang Baogu was desperate to escape at this time. He neither cared about the broken silver on the ground nor Cheng Yu who was calling him from behind. He got up with a "chirp" and ran westward along the alley. After two or three breaths, he turned around and hid.

After entering a fork in the road, he disappeared.

Its speed was so fast that even Cheng Yu couldn't help but sigh:

This guy really has a good body.

Cheng Yu casually picked up the bamboo tube that fell on the ground and smiled helplessly. He was here to deliver the letter, but he didn't expect to have to deliver it twice.

He carried the bamboo tube to the door of the backyard, looked at the broken silver scattered on the ground, took out the Five Elements Blunt Spirit Pouch he took from Jia Fei, first put the bamboo tube into it, and then picked up the silver pieces on the ground one by one.

"Master! That guy must have escaped through the back door. I've been watching outside. Not even a sparrow, let alone a human being, has ever come out of the front door."

The boy who was in charge of keeping an eye on the outside saw Shopkeeper Song looking unhappy, so he cautiously approached him and whispered.

Shopkeeper Song snorted coldly and rushed to the courtyard with three of his men. Because the backyard was not big, the four of them did not stay in the courtyard for long. They rushed out of the courtyard and looked around for a while, not knowing which direction to turn to.

Chase in the direction.

"Sir, Ge San said that this guy has always loved gambling, but why did he suddenly leave at this juncture and go through the back door instead of the front door? Did someone tip him off? Or..."

After the steward asked the question, he and Shopkeeper Song turned to look at the boy who was following him.

"Or are you staring too closely and being discovered?"

Shopkeeper Song grabbed the boy by the collar and asked fiercely.

The boy was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a thud:

"Master Mingjian, I didn't follow him once or twice. I always praised him for his cleverness before. Just now, he followed that man from a distance all the way. Even after he entered the gambling house, I didn't dare to stay too far away.

It’s definitely not a small mistake to just blend in with the crowd opposite and watch from a distance!”

"Master, we are not pursuing this right now. Let's find that guy first and then talk about it. I remember Ge San said that this guy lives in the center of a village next to the east of the town. There are two tile-roofed houses in the courtyard.

The only thing about the crooked locust tree is that there are only two wooden door panels in his yard in the surrounding area, which is very easy to find."

"Useless trash! Go to the ferry to pick up Liu Zi and Wu Du. If you go on business again, your family of five will be skinned! You two follow me!"

Seeing that there were some naughty idlers in the gambling hall who came out to watch the fun, shopkeeper Song could only curse a few words in a low voice. The four of them got into the alley one after another and hurried eastward, but they went in the opposite direction from where Zhang Baogu fled.

No one among them saw Cheng Yu or the scattered silver on the ground.

Only at the end, the little boy who was watching stepped on a piece of broken silver. When he looked back, he saw that the ground was flat.

I was in a hurry and didn't think much about it. I just muttered and left in a hurry.
