Chapter 179: The Bleak Ruby (3)

Tan Junhao's face showed an embarrassed expression, and he hesitated for a long time before he said: "As for what the grudge is, don't ask, I don't want to say, because this is related to my father's reputation, you just need to know that he has a grudge against my family." ”

Cao Xiaohui's brows furrowed slightly.

"Do you know where he lives?"

"I don't know."

"Have you been in contact with anyone lately?"

"There is one", Tan Junhao thought for a while and said, "It was five days ago, I was wandering the street, and I happened to meet a fellow villager of mine, his name is Du Congjun, our two families are very close, we have grown up together. ”

"You invited him to your house?"

"Yes, that's what the insider told you, right?" , Tan Junhao nodded and said.

Cao Xiaohui smiled, uncommittal, and then asked, "It is said that you talked late, can you tell me what you all talked about?" ”

"It's not all about childhood, it's easy to meet a fellow villager in a foreign country, and it's inevitable to chat for a while", Tan Junhao smiled and waved his hand.

"Is that all you guys talking about?" , Cao Xiaohui asked rhetorically.

"Huh?" , Tan Junhao frowned.

"Oh, yes!" , Tan Junhao slapped his thigh, "He also borrowed some money from me, but it wasn't much, two taels of silver, saying that he had pressed a batch of goods in business and didn't sell them, and his hands were relatively tight." ”

"Did you lend it to him?"

"Borrowed, of course borrowed, fellow villagers, it is appropriate to help each other, who doesn't have a difficulty!"

"Then where does this Du Congjun live and what kind of business does he do?"

"He told me that he lived in the Ping'an Inn in Datong District, and he was in the grocery business, a small business."

Cao Xiaohui nodded, thought for a while, and then asked, "Then have you ever had contact with Du Congjun?" ”

"Yes, just the day before yesterday, I met him on the street again, and he opened his mouth to borrow money from me again, more than last time, five taels."

"And you lent it to him?"

"No", Tan Junhao shook his head, "Help to help, it seems that I can lend him money twice in three days, even if I have thousands of family wealth, I can't bear it!" ”

Hearing this, the corners of Cao Xiaohui's mouth raised slightly.

"Master, do you suspect that Du Congjun has something to do with the threat to me?"

"It's possible," Cao Xiaohui nodded.

"Impossible!"

Tan Junhao waved his hand and said, "Impossible! He has nothing to do with this, it's the guy surnamed Hu, he has a grudge against my father, my father died, he found my head, that's the way it is, you just need to catch the surname Hu, or scare him away, don't come to me again! ”

"But...", just when Cao Xiaohui wanted to ask something more, she suddenly found that Tan Junhao, who was sitting opposite, had a frightened expression on his face, and his eyes looked straight behind Cao Xiaohui, and his body trembled involuntarily.

"He... He's coming! Tan Junhao raised his right hand and pointed behind Cao Xiaohui and stammered.

Cao Xiaohui was startled, immediately stood up and turned around, and found that a dark shadow was shaking behind the window behind her.

"What people!" , Cao Xiaohui shouted.

"Official... Officer, hurry... Catch him! Tan Junhao screamed in horror.

At the same time as Tan Junhao shouted, Cao Xiaohui and the two catchers had already rushed outside the house, and the barking of dogs immediately sounded in the yard.

The courtyard gate was wide open, Cao Xiaohui ran to the courtyard gate, looked left and right, the street was quiet, and there was no one.

"Strange, how can this person be so fast? From the time I found him to the time I chased him out, it was just a blink of an eye, could it be said that this person was very skilled? ”

Cao Xiaohui turned around and returned to the living room suspiciously, where Tan Junhao was nervously pacing back and forth, and when he saw Cao Xiaohui and others coming in, he hurriedly greeted him.

"How's it going, did you catch it?"

"Let him run away", Cao Xiaohui shook her head.

"Oops! How good is that? Tan Junhao was so anxious that he rubbed his hands together.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? At this time, Ouyang Linlin also went down from upstairs to the living room.

"It's nothing, someone snuck into the yard, we found it, and ran away again," Cao Xiaohui said.

"Oops! Is that person coming again? Ouyang Linlin asked worriedly.

"It must be!" , Tan Junhao was extremely nervous at this time, and his forehead was already covered with beads of sweat.

"It's okay, don't worry, after such a fright, I think he won't dare to come again in the near future", Cao Xiaohui comforted the two.

"You can rest in peace, I'll go back first, my two brothers will stay in the house tonight, now you should rest assured!"

"That's the best! That's the best! Tan Junhao kept nodding his head.

Back in the fast room, Cao Xiaohui told Nie Xiaohu what happened, Nie Xiaohu frowned slightly after hearing this, thought about it carefully and asked, "Are you saying that the person ran away in the blink of an eye?" ”

"Yes, as soon as I found a figure in the window, I chased it out, but I didn't even see the figure, could it be that this person is still a master and has a good kung fu?" , Cao Xiaohui asked puzzled.

"Impossible", Nie Xiaohu shook his head, "If you are a master, you still need to hide?" ”

"That's right," Cao Xiaohui nodded.

"Xiaohui, what do you think about this matter?"

"I think that Du Congjun is very suspicious," Cao Xiaohui said after thinking about it.

"Oh?" , Nie Xiaohu smiled, "Let's talk about it!" ”

"First of all, this person and Tan Junhao are fellow villagers and grew up together since childhood, so he must know Tan Junhao well, so it is not surprising that he knows that Tan Junhao's father has a grudge against others."

"Go on", Nie Xiaohu nodded and said with interest.
