In order to find out Hu Tu, Zu Zhenlin and Zhao Ting began to go out a few times, and then continued to follow the people they were watching. But it backfired, and the two went out in turn, and after a walk, they returned to the inn after a walk, and found no suspicious person delivering the news, and they didn't get anything. The four of them had no choice but to temporarily hold their troops again and practice in the inn to recuperate from their injuries, so as not to let people see that they were deliberately going out.

Time passed, another month passed, and Li Cao's injuries had healed. During this period, the person who monitored them had changed, and if they hadn't been carefully observed, it would have been difficult to find out, because there was no need to inquire about the situation with the guys and maids.

Zhao Ting asked Li Cao to move more in the courtyard, so that the people who monitored him knew that he had recovered his health, and the four of them could leave at any time. When the people who were spying on them saw it, they went out more often.

Zu Zhenlin followed him many times, although he still didn't see anything unusual, but he didn't relax in the slightest, and finally Huang Tian lived up to his heart and let him find something suspicious. When the thin man was buying sugar gourds, he got together with the stall owner and said a few words, and when he left, he didn't pay for the bill.

Zu Zhenlin pondered for a moment, and did not continue to follow the people who monitored them, but found an inconspicuous place and stared at the sugar gourd seller. The stall owner is usually tall, sturdy and strong, with a rough face, no different from a hard-working hawker, but if you look at it for a long time, you will find that this person's eyes occasionally flash, and he is by no means an idle person.

The stall owner was still hawking, and there was no sign of the stall leaving, and it was not until dusk that he began to pack up his things slowly. He did not immediately return to his lodgings, but found a cheap little restaurant and had dinner. The place he was looking for was full of fireworks, the place was not big, and the door was like a city.

Zu Zhenlin followed in, the business of the small shop was really hot, and after waiting for a while, there was a seat. I ordered a pot of wine, two steamed buns, a plate of roast chicken and a vegetarian dish. In order not to delay the time, I settled the account with Xiao Er in advance, which is really affordable, only 50 yuan. I took a sip of wine first, and the taste was bland. Later, the dish was served on the table, and after tasting a few bites, the taste of the dish was okay, and the amount was large, which should be the reason why so many people came.

Zu Zhenlin was eating vegetables while observing the stall owner. Others are leisurely, not in a hurry, eating a bite of food, drinking a cup of wine, and when they are finished, they have unconsciously drunk three pots of wine.

Zu Zhenlin thought in his heart that he might be waiting for nonsense, but he didn't know that he would settle the bill after drinking, and took another pot of wine and left. After that, I walked more and more away, through several spacious streets, into a dark and cramped alley, fortunately did not go any deeper, directly into the first courtyard, otherwise it would be really difficult to follow.

The sky was dark, and Zu Zhenlin hid in the shadows, quietly observing.

The peddler entered the courtyard, and then the lights came on in the house, and the figure was reflected in the window, and for a long time he did not move, and he probably drank again. When it came to the third watch, there was finally movement, the lights in the house went out, and then a figure flashed on the roof, the movements were neat, a few ups and downs, and it was more than ten zhang away.

Zu Zhenlin rose from the ground and quietly embellished behind. The hawker was very alert, and looked back a few times, if it wasn't for Zhenlin's quick reaction, he would have been discovered.

The hawkers stepped on the ridge of the house, flying all the way, in this remote area of the city, different from the prosperous area where Zhenlin lived, after nightfall, the road was sparsely populated, almost non-existent, but there was no need to be too restrained.

Zu Zhenlin watched the vendor get into a window, and after careful discernment, he found that this place was a small two-story inn. After the person entered, the window was not closed, but he did not come forward to listen, so as not to startle the snake, because if it was really nonsense, his strength was not under him, and it was easy to be exposed.

After about a quarter of an hour, the peddler came out of the house and returned the way he came. The man in the house stood at the window, watching the man leave. Zu Zhenlin looked at it fixedly, it was the fat nonsense.

Hu Tu and the others disappeared and closed the window.

As soon as Zu Zhenlin saw Hu Tu, he immediately thought of the scene where Li Cao was stabbed by him, and couldn't help clenching his fists, but he didn't have the impulse, he flew to the ground, looked at the name of the inn and the surrounding terrain and buildings, kept it in mind, and then returned to the Sulu Inn.

Zhao Ting saw Zhenlin's face overjoyed, and couldn't help asking, "What's the matter, find Hu Tu?"

Zu Zhen Lin Tsai carefully recounted the before and after, "Hu Tu is staying at the Tongxin Inn now, and I don't think he will leave for a while, so I'll come back to inform you." ”

Zhao Ting clapped her hands, "Great, I finally showed my fox tail." Now we can do what we do, and we can't see a trace under their noses, and we just need to be in the dark, staring at nonsense. ”

After she finished speaking, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she couldn't help but be silent.

Li Cao asked suspiciously, "Is there any problem, eldest miss?"

Zhao Ting said: "Do you think it is possible that Hu Tu did it on purpose, let us find him, and then lead us into a trap?"

Zu Zhenlin was a little surprised, "This ...... Is it possible?"

Zhao Ting explained: "They have never made a mistake before, and it took so long to be exposed, isn't it worth doubting? And after thinking about it, their flaw is really worth scrutinizing, and they have been collecting money all the time, how can they suddenly forget it? This is a mistake that they can't make for those of you who have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and there is only one possibility, that is, they have intention." By the way, you also see them hugging together and whispering, which is too obvious. ”

Zu Zhenlin nodded and said, "In this case, it is indeed possible." And we also asked the maid to help find suspicious people, for such a long time, someone was bribed with a lot of money and leaked out. So what to do, are we going to give up?"

Zhao Ting said angrily: "It's really hateful, if we are in Ming, even if we set a trap, Hu Tu can deceive others to attack us first, and then he will reap the benefits." The other way around, we can't. Sometimes, I have to envy these bad guys, there is no bottom line in doing things, it is convenient. ”

After complaining, she continued: "Actually, I just guess that Hu Tu deliberately led us to the bait, it's too early to give up, let's follow it a few more times, if they are deliberate, it is impossible to miss a flaw, because we can't be sure if we see it." ”

Zu Zhenlin agreed: "That's true, in this case, I'll follow it a few more times and see how it happens." ”

Zhao Ting smiled: "Then it's hard for you, a woman runs around with people on the street, and it is easy to be exposed, otherwise I will replace you." ”

Li Cao's face changed slightly, and he said guiltily: "I'm really sorry, if it weren't for my low strength, I could have helped you go." ”

Zu Zhenlin smiled and said, "What do you say? You have been practicing the exercises late, and your strength will naturally improve slowly, but as long as you are not impatient and abide by your heart, you will definitely be no worse than me in the future." ”

Zhao Ting also said: "Yes, cultivation is a long road, extremely arduous, there are almost no shortcuts to take, and those who take shortcuts are all against the weather, we still don't have to dream, otherwise the mood is unstable, and it is difficult to make an inch." Of course, if you persevere, you will always gain something, and the cultivation speed of each person is different at each stage, so you don't have to worry, the realm strength will always catch up. ”

Li Cao said: "Then I will borrow your auspicious words." ”

In the next few days, Zu Zhenlin followed the people he was following according to the plan, and sure enough, he found that they always showed flaws, proving that they really wanted to plan and lead the four into the trap.

The four of them get together again to discuss what to do.

Zhao Ting directly proposed: "Since they have taken precautions, then it's useless for us to live any longer, let's change our appearance first and get rid of the surveillance, what do you think?"

Zu Zhenlin nodded, "There is really no other way, but this." ”

Li Cao asked, "Then where are we going?"

Zhao Ting pondered for a moment and said, "Go out of the city first, and then make plans." ”

After the four of them decided, they immediately prepared, when the night came, Leng Xue began to use disguise methods, and all four of them were transformed, Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao became two followers, Leng Xue became a beautiful maid, and Zhao Ting was the master. After changing her outfits, Zhao Ting left the silver, and the four of them quietly went to the room and slipped away.

The next morning, the maid came to deliver the meal, knocked on the door and no one answered, feeling strange, but I didn't dare to make a mistake, just when the guest didn't want to eat breakfast and was still sleeping. When I came back at noon, there was still no answer, which made me feel even more strange. After discussing, hurry up and inform the shopkeeper.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was taken aback, if the guest had an accident in his own store, it would be difficult to do, at least who would like to live in this Tianzi No. 1 courtyard in the future, and who would be willing to be unlucky in those wealthy officialdom. Besides, how could a person who could afford to live in Tianzi Courtyard be ordinary? Let the people behind them know that they would have their own good fruits to eat?

The shopkeeper hurriedly ran to Tianzi No. 1 Courtyard, and muttered silently, "Don't have an accident, don't have an accident." ”

He stood still at the door, knocked tentatively twice, and then shouted, "Guest officer, it's time for lunch, and we've brought the food in." ”

The shopkeeper couldn't take care of his own things, so he asked the man to slam the door open. Seeing such a big movement, no one in the house came out, and my heart couldn't help but sink.

With a bang, the courtyard door opened, and the shopkeeper's legs and feet were a little fluttering, and he instructed the maid, "Are you going to see the people in the house?"

The maids had no choice but to knock on the door, and when they knocked on the door, they found that it was concealed, and entered the room while shouting, "Are you there, Childe?" "Are you there, Miss?"

When they entered the room, they were shocked to see that it was empty, and ran out of the room, "The shopkeeper, no one is gone." ”

The maid who came out of Zhao Ting's room ran out excitedly and said, "Shopkeeper, Miss Zhao left the silver, and the person is gone." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, the guest left the silver, and his eyes lit up, in this case, the dark clouds in the sky were dispersed, and the guest took the initiative to leave. Ran into Zhao Ting's room and saw the pile of white flowers and silver on the ground, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and asked people to count whether it was enough to add the prepaid silver, and found that there were one hundred taels more.

As soon as the shopkeeper was happy, everyone in the courtyard received a reward.

Such a big movement, of course, alarmed the people who were watching, and when they saw that there was no one in sight, they couldn't help but be in a hurry, and hurriedly checked out and left, looking for Hu Tu.
