Naturally, the movement here also attracted the attention of others. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But unlike everyone, everyone was looking this way, trying to figure out what was going on, while some people were avoiding the gaze of Hu Zhou and Zheng Fusheng.

Zheng Fusheng didn't care about it at first, but following Hu Zhou's gaze, he saw this person.

Sun Chao.

The former manager of the Yunfang Gambling Room, but the Tianfang Gambling Workshop and the Yunfang Gambling Workshop are both the properties of the Money Gang, and it is not surprising that he appears here on the surface.

"It's just you, who lost to Brother Hu for two thousand taels, come here, the division has something to ask you." Zheng Fusheng shouted at Sun Chao.

His voice was not small, and many people heard it, two thousand taels, which is a bet that is not often seen in Tianfang Gambling House.

Sun Chao had a dog's expression on his face, but he had to go to the two of them.

Zheng Fusheng raised the portrait in his hand at him, and said condescendingly: "Have you seen these people?" ”

The grizzled Sun Chao was ready to do something casually, but he was obviously stunned when he looked at the portrait, and said with some uncertainty: "It's Shi Xiang and the three?" ”

"Yo, you even know the name, you really know it." Zheng Fusheng said in surprise.

"They used to frequented the gambling house, not here, but the Yunfang gambling house, so I know them well." Sun Chao replied.

As he had thought before, Zheng Fusheng glanced at Hu Zhou excitedly, and the latter gave him a thumbs up.

"They often win money in the casinos?" Zheng Fusheng asked.

Sun Chao glanced at Hu Zhou, and said with some embarrassment: "This is naturally not there, they lose more and win less, and they owe a lot of money to the gambling house." ”

In his spare time, he knew from Liu Gan that Sun Chao even let go of the lamb profits, and the gambling house was a business with no capital anyway, and it was not impossible to lend the silver to the three of them.

"As far as this officer knows, all three of them are idle and unscrupulous, and the gambling house lends them the silver, so don't you worry that they won't be able to pay it back?" This is something I wanted to figure out when I was looking for people everywhere at first, and it was not strange for Zheng Fusheng to ask.

You can't say to Zheng Fusheng that gamblers don't want to suffer from flesh and skin, so they are not afraid that they won't pay back the silver, Sun Chao hesitated: "These three people are a little special. ”

Zheng Fusheng tried his best to hide the excitement in his heart, but the traces on his face were still obvious, "Oh? What is special about them? When he asked these words, Hu Zhou seemed to be distracted.

"Originally, with their qualifications, just like the little official said, the gambling house would borrow ten taels or twenty taels of silver from them at best, and on the premise that they didn't pay it off, they would never borrow it again. But when they were stubbornly trying to borrow more silver taels and were rejected by the gambling house, they ruthlessly said that even if they lent them the entire gambling house, they would be able to repay the principal with interest in a few days. Sun Chao explained.

"And they said, Ye believed?"

"Of course it can't be," Sun Chao smiled bitterly, "but they took out one thing." ”

Zheng Fusheng's eyes widened, and he hurriedly said, "What is it?" ”

Looking around, Sun Chao lowered his voice and said, "Half a treasure map." ”

"Half a sheet?" Zheng Fusheng unconsciously lowered his voice with him.

"Actually, it's not half a sheet, it should be said that it is a third, each of them has a copy hidden close to their bodies, but they just showed the part that Shi Xiang kept for the small one, and I think I was worried that I would write down the entire treasure map." Sun Chao guessed.

"You believe what they say?"

Sun Chao shook his head, "A treasure map appeared out of thin air, how can the little ones believe it as soon as they hear it, I don't know if they are just trying to cheat a few taels of silver." But then they said that they had gone from Jin Yue to Lanzi for this treasure. He also said that this treasure map is not the only one they have, and they have been looking for clouds by the clouds for several months, and the piles are clearly organized, not like the current fabrication, and the small ones are also believed. ”

"That's why I believe it, but you're cautious enough." Zheng Fusheng said sarcastically.

"The little official doesn't know, every time the little one comes into contact with some cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, nine out of ten sentences are lies, and after a long time, the suspicion will be heavy." Sun Chao said with some emotion.

In fact, there are no last two sentences of dialogue, Zheng Fusheng is already very satisfied, "Okay, you can go with your work." ”

Sun Chao was like being amnestied, so he didn't have time to turn around politely and left, but when he turned around, he heard Zheng Fusheng say in his ear: "By the way, where can I find you?" ”

Still? However, Sun Chao only dared to think about it in his heart, and said respectfully on his face: "The little official can find the little one when he comes here." ”

After he left, Zheng Fusheng and Hu Zhou said, "Brother Hu, these three people really have a treasure map." And just now Sun Chao said that they came from afar in Jinyue for treasure. Brother Hu's previous inferences were all correct. Presumably, they leaked the secret of their treasure map in the gambling house, which caused the murder. The case can be regarded as solved. ”

"The case is solved? But the murderer hasn't been found yet...... Hu Zhou sighed.

"As for the murderer, we can use the treasure map to find out where the treasure is, and there is an ambush on the side, whoever comes to find the treasure may be the murderer." Zheng Fusheng said.

"Makes sense." As he spoke, Hu Zhou's thoughts drifted a little far.

As for Fang Cai, Zheng Fusheng said that Hu Zhou's inferences were all right, because there were too many things he didn't know.

At the previous noodle stall, Zheng Fusheng left the table to ask the shopkeeper to add another bowl of noodles.

"After eating the noodles for a while, I went to the Chengmu Mansion with Fusheng, Mu Qian returned to Xiaguang Taobao, and Li Zhi went to find Sun Chao and explained some things to him." Hu Zhou took advantage of the gap and said.

Mu Qian, who had already hidden the treasure map twice, couldn't help but ask, "The matter is related to Sun Chao?" ”

"There's no way around it, there are very few people we can use, otherwise we wouldn't have to go to him. But now only the provenance of the two treasure maps can be arranged, and it is inevitably far-fetched to have to link the deaths of the other three people with the treasure. Hu Zhou said quickly.

"What about after you find him?" Li Zhi, who never asks why, only asks how to do it.

"Tell him that he has helped us, and I will take the remaining 8,000 taels of silver tickets, and write off his grudge with the money gang. You can handle other coercion and temptation by yourself. However, with the money gang's scruples about the City Pastoral Mansion and the Spiegel Division, this is enough to think about it. Hu Zhou lowered his voice and continued: "I want him to see the three portraits and know that the three of them have hidden treasure maps." As for the story, you helped him make it up. ”

After speaking, Zheng Fusheng came back with his face.

During the banquet, no one spoke except for eating noodles.

Mu Qian asked Hu Zhou when there was no one, can he really pass the test like this? Hu Zhou nodded, saying that his life was certainly not as attractive as the treasure map in the eyes of those powerful people. Mu Qian then asked, then they will use this to find treasure?

Hu Zhou said with a smile, if they have no clue for a while, their minds will definitely fade. But why not figure out the general route from this?

Under the premise that it is difficult to protect himself, he has not forgotten to calculate others, Mu Qianzhen doesn't know what to say.
