"Why did you lead us to that deserted place and run away?" Su Zhiyu walked around behind the old man and spoke.

The old man hurriedly checked his privacy, then stood up straight, and the thought of running away was just raised by someone who grabbed his shoulder from behind, and then was directly pushed back to his place by a hand.

"It seems that you don't have any regret for what happened just now, this wine is a specialty of the store, and you just bought it with our money. It's not authentic to just take money and not do things. Su Zhiyu said coldly, everyone can hear it.

"Why are you here? How did you find me? The old man was stunned, and soon trembled like chaff, and he understood that this man had come to avenge the vengeance.

"It's none of your business, why lie to us?" Su Zhiyu asked, standing at the old man. There was no movement behind him.

Du Ruonan approached after seeing this scene, "I didn't expect that the road was narrow, and we found you in less than half an hour before and after, which is called people watching the sky." ”

"I didn't mean to lie to you, you can spare me. The little old man was lonely and helpless, and he lived in a miserable way, which was why he had a bad heart. The old man said with a gesture, picked up the wine jug and handed it to Du Ruonan.

"What do you mean by that? Leave us to drink two glasses with you, and then laugh at the grudge? Du Ruonan was a little stunned for a while and didn't take the wine jug, "Tell me why you lied to us?" ”

"How can the old man hide this little trick from you? I bought this wine with the money you gave me, and now I give it back with both hands, and I beg you two to spare me. The old man said with a smile on his face.

"Do you know the rich businessman? Where is he now? You are a rich merchant, and why did you deceive us into an abandoned house? If you don't answer, don't blame our men for being ruthless. Su Zhiyu threatened.

"This is just my deception to you, I don't know any rich businessman. I lied that I knew about it because I was trying to cheat you out of your money. The ruined mansion over there has been abandoned for a long time, and it is rumored that there are ghosts in it, and almost no one has passed by, so I led you over there so that I could get rid of you and escape. The old man took the wine bottle and turned around and attacked Su Zhiyu fiercely and escaped.

The old man's movements were done in one go, and Su Zhiyu was not weak, and when he dodged and dodged, the old man pulled his legs and ran away.

People have already appeared in front of them, how can they let him go so easily? If you just deceive them, there is no reason to want to hurt people and escape.

The old man must have known something and important information to do so.

Su Zhiyu caught up with the old man and unceremoniously picked up his collar, "It seems that you know a lot of things, so that's why you lied." Tell me everything you know, or I can't vouch for your integrity. ”

was still grabbed by the back of the neck, and the old man suddenly blushed, "Come on, this man made a move on me as a helpless and innocent old man." ”

"Helplessness may be true, but I have to say that you, an old man, are not comparable to ordinary old men. The word innocent is really a humiliation to use on you, and I am afraid that it will be insulted. Du Ruonan spoke at the right time.

"Guest, what are you? Disturbances are not allowed in our shop. How did this old man offend you? The shopkeeper looked at both sides of them and stepped forward to ask.

Secretly, everyone's eyes in the hall were fixed on this side, waiting for an explanation. Curious, they sneaked this way.

"He stole our wallets to come here for a drink, but we didn't expect that we happened to be residents of this store, and then blocked him, ran away in a panic and was caught." Du Ruonan spoke.

The old man's face was full of shame, and in public, he was said to be a thief and stole silver.

"I see, then you have to teach him a good lesson." As soon as the shopkeeper heard that this matter was not something he could get involved in, he immediately turned around and left.

"I didn't steal money, you guys are lying to me!" The old man's face turned red, and he didn't dare to argue until no one was looking at him.

"Of course you didn't steal, you just swindled some money from us, right?" Du Ruonan glanced at him nonchalantly.

The three of them returned to the old man's seat just now, "You'd better tell the truth, why did you run away?" What is the relationship with the businessman's family? Any idea where they are now? ”

"The old man was so scared that he didn't know anything. Please don't ask any more questions. The old man lowered his eyes, his fingers intertwined.

This was an anxious reaction, Su Zhiyu glanced at the old man coldly and raised his voice, "You'd better tell the truth, this is not a reminder but a warning." ”

The old man stretched out his hand and grabbed it to make Su Zhiyu shut up, and finally sighed, "I wanted to borrow your money to drink a glass of wine, but I didn't expect to get out of it if I got into it." The old man had been working for the rich merchant before, and he knew a little about what was going on in the master's house. ”

"What happened to the rich businessman? Why were the people living in that house scholars? Du Ruonan asked.

The old man said slowly, "The rich businessman failed and went bankrupt, and the house was not kept and sold to someone else. The family moved back to their hometown in the countryside, and I don't know what happened next. ”

"How much else do you know about the rich businessman?" Su Zhiyu asked.

"The rich businessman's surname is Chen Mingbo, and his hometown seems to be in Jiacheng County, and this old man has never been there and doesn't know it." Saying that, the old man wanted to leave. Lazy people listen to books

Su Zhiyu stretched out his hand to stop him, "You can't leave yet, you have to accompany us to Jiacheng County to explore the truth." ”

"I have already told you what I know, even if I go, I am just a rich merchant, and the former subordinates have been dismissed, and there is no master-servant friendship, which will not help you at all." The old man hurriedly explained.

"Go with us, and then give you the rest of the money, otherwise the deposit will be compensated." Su Zhiyu withdrew his hand after dropping these words, It is impossible for this old man to escape under his nose.

"Now that we've inquired, when are we going?" Du Ruonan spoke.

"We'll take the old man to Jiacheng County tomorrow to find out." Su Zhiyu replied.

"Xiao Er will help us add another room, preferably next to our previous room." Su Zhiyu took out the silver.

"I didn't expect you to let me live in a room for an old man, thank you so much." The old man thanked me for daring to show signs of escaping.

"Live with me, lest thou run away in the middle of the night." Su Zhiyu explained.

"Can't you trust me a little more?" The old man was a little helpless, this man wanted to detain him here, and he couldn't solve any practical problems.

Early the next morning, the three of them went to Jiacheng County together, and the old man didn't show any difference.

"Do you know a businessman named Chen Bo?"

"Have you ever heard of the name Chen Bo?"

"Have you moved back to a family surnamed Chen?"

The two of them inquired about this Chen Fu along the way, and changed countless questions, but everyone avoided talking about it.

"How does this Chen Bo seem to be in a state of anger? Did he do something to offend these people? Even if he is bankrupt, he will not be squeezed by so many people if he has to return to his hometown, right? Du Ruonan shook his head blankly.

"It seems that everyone knows this Chen Bo, and there must be a reason behind their hatred of Chen Bo that we don't know." Su Zhiyu fell into deep thought.

"What kind of great sin made everyone isolate him? When I heard the surname Chen, it was not normal for someone to immediately walk away with a disgusted face. Du Ruonan looked at the unfamiliar scenery in front of him, thinking about the rich businessman Chen Bo they were looking for and the young man's sister who was going to be found through him.

All kinds of thoughts are condensed together, which makes people feel very headache.

"You shouldn't have chased him to Jiacheng County, you must find him, he is not a rich businessman now, what can't he help you? On the contrary, it is a big drag, so it is better for you to go back the way you came, and not look for this person again. The old man advised them to give up.

"As your former customer, even if you don't have much, good money should not be missing you, your attitude is very wrong. Or are you hiding something big from us? Du Ruonan asked.

"Didn't I tell you everything I knew? Now I can't ask Chen Bo for the news, and I can't blame me, the people in the county town seem to hate him, and you are just asking for trouble when you find him. Since you have to be stupid, let me go back and I won't be stupid with you. The old man struggled to make a request.

"You don't have to think about this, we will definitely find Chen Bo, as for you have to go with us. Otherwise, you will not get the follow-up money if you pay back the deposit. Su Zhiyu reminded, "Look at your outfit and the timing of your appearance, you are very short of money and want to take risks." ”

"It's too late to repent, who told you to come to us and provide news? The two of us will not give up until we find someone. Du Ruonan refused.

The old man must have known more than they did, and even if he didn't know anything about it, the three of them would be in company.

"Even if you keep me, it's pointless, and I, an old man, eat and live with you, don't you feel sorry for the silver?" The old man asked helplessly.

"It just happens that there is a lot of money, not much more than you, not much of you, and a lot of one person. But you seem to be short of money. Du Ruonan looked extremely arrogant.

The old man had no choice but to silence, "All the people in the county are unwilling to provide the slightest clue, and you will definitely not be able to find him." ”

"You don't have to think about this, we'll figure it out ourselves. For the people we are looking for, we must dig three feet into the ground and find out the rich businessman Chen Bo. Du Ruonan was firm, and the situation in front of him was much better than the previous situation without any clues.

"What are you going to do?" The old man was completely helpless.

"We must find Chen Bo in the house and find the young man's sister from him. I will not give up until I achieve my goal. I'm sure I won't let you go, don't think about it, instead of thinking about how to give up halfway every day, think about how much silver you will get when you succeed. Du Ruonan tempted with money.

"The most important thing for us at the moment is to find out why the wealthy businessman Chen Bo is so resisted by the people of Jiacheng County." Su Zhiyu spoke slowly.
