Zu Gongmao took out the letter from half a year ago, the address on the letter was an inn in the Two Wolves City, and everyone rushed to the inn to inquire about the Wu family's mother and daughter, and the shopkeeper obviously didn't remember that the Wu family had ever lived in a small shop. Zu Gongmao was furious, and he was about to reach out to beat the shopkeeper, but Zhang Xiaowu stopped him and persuaded: "Now that there is a war outside the Saiwai, there are many military masters and people who come and go to the Two Wolves Pass every day, and it is not surprising that he remembers it." ”

Zu Gongmao was very anxious and sighed.

At this time, a young man stepped forward and saluted: "Distinguished guests don't have to be angry with my master, the master is not often in the store, and I take care of it on weekdays." There are too many people coming and going to the inn in the past six months, but I still have some impressions of Wu's mother and daughter, she also brought two identical girls, about seven or eight years old, yes or no? ”

"Exactly." Zu Gongmao was so excited that he grabbed the young man's arm and asked, "Do you know where they are?" ”

The young man was scratched, took two steps back and broke free, and said: "They only lived in the store for two days, and the two children did not go out in the room. ”

Zhang Xiaowu asked, "Do you know what kind of livelihood he is looking for?" ”

The young man shook his head and said, "I don't know, but it's probably a woman's livelihood, which is nothing more than knitting and spinning or laundry and cooking, and at worst, being a domestic servant for a large family." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Your lady asked you to look for them, but she didn't leave any clues, it's really strange." ”

Zu Gongmao asked urgently: "Will something happen to them?" ”

"No, no, no." Zhang Xiaowu comforted, everyone lost the clue and was anxious. If the Wu family worked as a domestic helper in a large family, they would not be able to find it one by one.

At this moment, the young man suddenly thought of a solution, and said in a low voice: "Distinguished guests, I have an idea, maybe I can help you." There is a capable person in the Two Wolves City, nicknamed Wolf Ears, who specializes in selling all kinds of news. If you want to find the Wu family, you can only look for him to buy news except for yourself, but this person has always been a dragon who has never seen the beginning and the end, and it takes a lot of silver to buy news from him. ”

Zhang Xiaowu immediately said: "Money is not a problem, the little brother is tired of telling me how to find him." ”

The young man said: "I heard that Wolf Ears often go to a place called Ping'an Gambling House to play money, you go to Ping'an Gambling House to find their steward, they may know the traces of Mr. Wolf Ears." ”

There are such people everywhere, they may not control the city, but they must be more familiar with the city than the people who control the city, they are the underground emperors of the city. Compared with the emperor who controlled the world far away in the dragon capital, the people feared them more, and even worshiped them more.

The young man enthusiastically took Zhang Xiaowu and the four of them to the Ping'an Gambling House and told them that this wolf ear is also called the second wolf master, and whether they can find him can only depend on luck. Ye means father, Weng means grandfather, and the nickname of the second wolf is a generation older than others for no reason, so this person must have extraordinary means to add the word "Ye" after the name.

From the outside, the façade of the Ping'an Gambling House is not large, and there are only two lazy little guys standing at the door. Walking into the gambling house, there were only forty or fifty customers, not full, not very lively. There were eight thugs in the gambling house, still sitting lazily at the front and back doors and at the lending table, waiting for someone to sign and borrow money in a hurry.

After Zhang Xiaowu and the four of them came in, the thugs got up and paid attention slightly, these people were tall and saw this, especially with a murderous look on their faces, and the eyes of the mustachioed Xiao Langjun in the middle were extremely sharp, and the person who was swept by his gaze actually lowered his head involuntarily, as if he wanted someone's life at any time.

This man has killed, not just one, but often kills!

A gambling house steward with a big mole on his face immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "How many eyes are very raw, are they from the Central Plains?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu pointed to the north and said, "Saibei." ”

The steward smiled and said, "Saibei...... Forehead...... Saibei is also good, it's just a little messy now, it will be fine in the future, it will be fine. What are the guests going to play? If you are looking for a prostitute, I have a familiar place in the Two Wolves City, and I can keep it for a few distinguished guests to have fun. As he spoke, he took two steps back, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, a thug approached.

Zhang Xiaowu shook his head, smiled faintly, and said slowly: "I'll buy a message from Wolf Ear and take me to meet him." ”

The steward took two steps back, looked at Zhang Xiaowu and the four of them carefully, and said with a smile: "The guest officer is joking, if you want to eat, I can call you." The braised pig ears of the Fulin Inn are a must, and as for the wolf ears - there are none. ”

Zhang Xiaowu lifted the collar, took off the wolf tooth necklace from his neck, and said, "Do you know?" Give it to the wolf ear, he must know. ”

The steward frowned and took the wolf tooth necklace, looked carefully, and said in shock: "This is the big tooth of the grass wolf?" Really big teeth? This ......"

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Give it to the wolf ear." ”

The steward no longer hesitated, nodded, took the wolf tooth necklace and said, "A few distinguished guests will play here for a while, I will go out to find the second wolf master, and ask the guest officer to wait patiently." ”

Zhang Xiaowu nodded, and took his subordinates to watch several tables of gambling in the gambling house, there are only two kinds of games on the gambling table, one is called dice, and the other is called brand. There are many people who play dice, the dealer shakes three dice, more than twelve points are big, and less than twelve points are small, buy big and buy small, and win two to one, but if you hit the points, the odds are at least fifty to one, so many people are lucky to buy points, and often lose all their money.

Wang Yijin smiled and said, "My lord, can you buy some too?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu took out ten taels of silver from his pocket, looked at the silver taels bet on the big and small points, he bought small ones if he bought more money, and he bought big ones when he bought more small money, and he actually won ten taels of silver when he came and went.

Seeing this, the dealer smiled and said: "The new guest is booming, why not more?" Ten taels each time, you can be more open, and the money you win can go to the Cuiyan Pavilion to find the twelve golden hairpins. ”

Zhang Xiaowu vaguely remembered the name Cuiyan Pavilion, as if he had heard it somewhere, but he had a vague impression. Chen Guanxi, who had been silent, reminded him in his ear: "My lord, last time you killed the two thugs of Cuiyan Pavilion in the Mucheng Bazaar and saved Miss Gu Family. The man threatens you that you're going against the Smoke Pavilion, do you remember? Zhang Xiaowu remembered them at this time, as the so-called is not a family that does not get together, and has the opportunity to go to Cuiyan Pavilion to take a peek. He was thinking about things, but he still had a faint smile on his face, and continued to play with the dice.

Although he was just having fun and not making any money, the dealer probably wanted to trap him, and actually let him win more than thirty taels. When the dealer saw that he had almost won, he suddenly smiled and said, "The newcomer is really lucky." ”

The dealer still wanted to set up, but when he saw Zhang Xiaowu collect the money and turned away, he didn't say anything. The dealer was stunned for a while, and was about to get angry when he saw that the guest had distributed the silver to his left and right subordinates, and he went to the back door alone with the steward, so he was relieved.

Zhang Xiaowu asked if he wanted to be blindfolded, and the steward smiled and said that if it was someone else, he would really be blindfolded, but the honorable guest didn't need it, you are not here. Zhang Xiaowu laughed, followed behind the steward, and after a few turns, the two came to the door of a courtyard. There were two sturdy fat men standing at the door, with square heads and big ears, and they looked like they were not approachable.

The steward asked, "Honorable guest, are these two brave men?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu looked at the two of them carefully, but he saw that the two of them were very awkward and let go of their eyes, so he said: "The two of them can scare and scare ordinary people." ”

The steward asked, "If you need to defeat the second wolf master, how long will it take you?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu stretched out his palm and said, "You count to five, and I'll give you two dead people." ”

When the two strong men heard this, they were furious, so they rushed over and prepared to make a move, when they suddenly heard someone in the courtyard shouting: "Don't do it, if you do it with him, today next year will be your death day." ”

The two strong men heard the shout, respectfully got out of the way, Zhang Xiaowu and the steward pushed the door into the small courtyard, this small courtyard is not big, there are two chickens and a sheep, and there is a mill and a wheelbarrow in the yard. The sound came from a room, and it seemed that the wolf ears were not planning to go to the road.

"Thirty-eight wolf teeth, nineteen wolf ......" the wolf ear said: "On the third day of junior high school, return the necklace to him." ”

The steward entered the house and retrieved the necklace and respectfully handed it into Zhang Xiaowu's hands. Zhang Xiaowu hung the wolf tooth necklace back around his neck, looked at the dark hut, smiled and said, "My request, presumably the steward also said, how much money do you need?" ”

"Two thousand taels of silver, I'll give you news at noon tomorrow."

"Three thousand taels, now." Zhang Xiaowu said.

There was silence in the room for a while, and then said, "You are the ghost general, Zhang Xiaowu, the ghost general who killed the nineteen wolves?" ”

"You recognize me?"

"Others may not have heard of you, but my second wolf master knows your killing name, after all, I am in charge of selling news. I have a message about you that I can send to you for free. ”

Zhang Xiaowu smiled slightly and said, "It's easy to say, thank you." ”

"Someone will pay you two hundred taels of silver to buy your life."

Zhang Xiaowu laughed when he heard this, and even laughed out of tears, before he said: "Is my life only worth two hundred taels of silver?" ”

"So this news is not worth much, because no one would be stupid enough to assassinate a master of the imperial court for two hundred taels, and assassinate a ghost general who slaughtered the Saibei sand bandits with his own strength."

Zhang Xiaowu said: "You know a lot. ”

"I'm in the business." After the wolf ear finished speaking, he said: "I have inquired, and I will give the silver to the third junior high." ”

Zhang Xiaowu escaped from his arms and handed the silver ticket to the third junior high, who sent the silver ticket to the house, and walked out with a smile after verifying it, but handed it back to him. Zhang Xiaowu was puzzled and said, "Why, didn't you hear anyone?" ”

The wolf ear said: "I will exchange the news for a promise to you." ”

"What promise?"

"One day, I will send a man to you, and you will save his life for a year."

"Who is this man?"

"This man will bring you a wolf ear."

"You don't want any money?"

"Three thousand taels of silver for the protection of the ghost general, there is no more cost-effective deal."

Zhang Xiaowu thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "Deal." ”

"Lord Ghost General, the woman you are looking for works in the Wenji Huanyi Workshop outside the city, but she should have a problem at this moment."
