Xiao Han hurriedly asked, "Little Liuzi, out of the courtyard wall, where did those people go, do you see clearly?"

Hearing Xiao Han's question, Xiao Liuzi didn't even think about it, so he stretched out his hand and pointed in one direction, "The two poor masters, they are running over there." ”

In the direction of the courtyard wall, on the left is the direction leading to the castle, and on the right is the direction leading to the south market and the south gate.

The direction of Xiao Liuzi's finger is on the left, which means that the people they are chasing are running towards the city.

Thinking of this, Xiao Han turned his head to look at Third Brother Li and asked urgently, "Third Brother Li, is there a place where there are many beggars around here?" ”

Hearing this question, Third Brother Li turned his head to look at Xiao Han, frowned and asked, "Do you want to find those people?" ”

Xiao Han nodded, "Third Brother Li, these people are very likely the people we are investigating, if you know where they might go, please let us know!" ”

Hearing Xiao Han's question, Third Brother Li nodded, and after a moment of silence, he said slowly, "If I guessed correctly, when they left here, they must have gone to the Chengnan Inn, because in this vicinity, there are only some beggars on the Chengnan Inn."

You can go over there and maybe find the person you're looking for. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Han hurriedly arched his hand, "Then thank you Third Brother Li for your guidance and farewell!" ”

……

Xiao Han took Li Baosheng to say goodbye to Li Sange, and he didn't stay, and walked directly towards the outside of the courtyard wall.

The two returned the way they came, and soon got out of the courtyard wall and back into the street.

Li Baosheng took two steps forward and asked urgently, "Brother Xiaohan, shall we go to the Chengnan Inn?"

Xiao Han nodded, "Whether there is one or not, let's go over there first, anyway, the Chengnan Inn is not far from here." ”

The Chengnan Inn is indeed not far from here, about two streets away from here, and it is the largest inn in the south of the city.

Most of the goods and people from the south of the city will choose to live in the south of the city.

On the one hand, the Chengnan Inn is close to the South City Gate, on the other hand, it is also a big place, whether it is to live or to put goods, there are many places here, and it is precisely for this reason that this inn is more and more prosperous in business.

The distance between the two streets was not very far, and it didn't take long for the two of them to come to the door of the Chengnan Inn.

The beggar door will not stay in the inn, so the two of them did not enter the inn to check, but just stood in front of the door and kept looking at both sides.

Soon, the two of them saw several beggars sitting under the trees by the wall in front of the inn in the south of the city, that is, at the crossroads.

Seeing these beggars, Li Baosheng was immediately overjoyed, hurriedly turned his head to look at Xiao Han, and said with a smile, "Brother Xiao Han, our luck is really good, as soon as we came, we found these beggars." ”

Xiao Han nodded, "Let's go, let's go over and have a look?" ”

The two of them walked towards the beggars by the wall, but unfortunately, before they could get closer, the beggars saw that a catcher was coming, and they immediately got up and ran away.

When Xiao Han saw that they were about to run, he hurriedly took steps to chase after them.

These beggars have been here for a long time, and they are very familiar with the route here, they did not run far forward, and the electric drill entered the small alley next to them, and by the time Xiao Han and Li Baosheng chased after them, they had disappeared without a trace.

The two chased them into the alley, and when they reached the end of the alley, they didn't see a single beggar.

Li Baosheng said with some annoyance, "These hateful guys, what are you running, don't you just have to ask him a few words, what are you afraid of!" ”

Xiao Han didn't answer Li Baosheng's words, his eyes kept looking at both sides of the street, and after a long while, he said slowly, "No, they can't run so fast." ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Han's tone paused, and then he continued, "From the time they started to run, to the time we chased, the distance between the two of us was not very far, and the speed of running was about the same, how could it disappear so quickly?" ”

Hearing Xiao Han's words, Li Baosheng was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Xiao Han, and asked suspiciously, "Brother Xiao Han, do you mean that they are hiding?" ”

Xiao Han nodded, turned to look at the small alley where he came, and said in a deep voice, "They must have been hiding, otherwise, they would never have disappeared so quickly." ”

Li Baosheng smashed his fist against the wall next to him with some annoyance, "Brother Xiao Han, you said these people are really weird, we just want to ask him a few questions, what are they running?" ”

Speaking of this, Li Baosheng's tone paused, but then, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he didn't wait for Xiao Han to answer his words, so he said with a smile.

"Brother Xiao Han, could those people be the Su Mazi we are looking for?"

Hearing Li Baosheng's question, Xiao Han shook his head with a wry smile, "The distance was so far just now, and we couldn't see clearly, how could we know if those people were Su Mazi?" ”

After saying this, Xiao Han took the lead in returning to the original road, and at the same time, carefully checked on both sides of the road.

Xiao Han was sure that these beggars must be hiding in this small alley, because when these beggars were about to run just now, he immediately chased after them.

Xiao Han's speed is not slow, so he is not too far away from these beggars, but after he chased out of the alley, there was no shadow of those beggars on the street outside the alley.

Xiao Han didn't believe that with the footsteps of those beggars, he would run so much faster than himself.

So, these beggars must be hiding somewhere in this alley.

Unfortunately, this alley is close to the inn on one side, and although it is all a whole courtyard wall, on the other side, there are seven or eight small alleys that extend to the houses on this side.

Xiao Han walked forward, frowned, turned his head to look at Li Baosheng, and said in a low voice, "Li Baosheng, you go to the small alley to have a look, I am guarding here." ”

"Hmm!"

Li Baosheng answered, and walked quickly along the small alley next to him.

Let Li Baosheng go inside to search alone, because he is worried that the small alleys here are connected, and if the two of them chase them together from this side, maybe those beggars will run away from the other side again.

So, Xiao Han stayed outside, and if those beggars wanted to run, he could at least see it.

Sure enough, as Xiao Han guessed, not long after Li Baosheng entered, Xiao Han heard a sound of footsteps coming from the alley in front of him, and at the same time, a panicked sound also came out of the alley.

"Run, they're here again......."

"Run, let's go to the woods and ......."

As soon as a few beggars ran out of the alley, they saw a catcher standing in the alley, staring at them closely.

The beggars were suddenly startled, and just wanted to turn around and run, but Li Baosheng, who was chasing after them, had already shouted.

"Stand still, whoever dares to move again, don't blame me for being unkind." The egg hurts

As he spoke, Li Baosheng had already pulled out a knife, looking fierce.

When several beggars saw the knife in Li Baosheng's hand, they immediately fell to their knees in fright, and shouted!

"Bad master, what's the matter, we didn't do anything bad......."

Li Baosheng came to the beggar with a pant, put the knife back first, and then asked loudly, "You guys, what are you running, aren't you just asking you a few questions, and as for running, look at the ...... of the tired uncle." ”

After hearing Li Baosheng's words, several beggars who were begging were suddenly stunned, and after a while, an old beggar asked in a trembling voice, "Two poor masters, are you really just asking a few questions?" ”

Li Baosheng nodded, "Don't worry, we just want to find someone, and we want to ask if you know." ”

When the old beggar heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly nodded, "Two poor masters, please ask, as long as you don't drive us." ”

Li Baosheng coughed lightly, and then asked slowly, "Let me ask you, do you know a person named Su Mazi?" ”

"Su Mazi?"

The old beggar listened to the question and shook his head, "Two poor masters, the villain doesn't know Su Mazi!" ”

Hearing the old beggar's answer, Li Baosheng was a little disappointed, "Don't you really know a person named Su Mazi?" ”

Speaking of this, Li Baosheng's tone paused, but then, he didn't wait for the old beggar to answer his words, so he continued to speak to himself.

"Su Mazi, it's a person with pockmarks on his face, don't you know him?"

When the old beggar heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand, "Two poor masters, the villain really doesn't know Su Mazi!"

The villain knows Zhang Cripple and Wang Blind, but he doesn't know Su Mazi! ”

Hearing this, Li Baosheng turned his head to look at Xiao Han in disappointment.

Xiao Han suddenly asked, "Let me ask you, why did you run away when you saw us just now?" ”

"Run?"

Hearing Xiao Han's question, the old beggar was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile, "Don't hide it from the two poor masters, just now, a few beggars came, saying that they were about to arrest people, so when we saw the two poor masters coming, we wanted to hide, but who knows, they still didn't dodge!" ”

Hearing what the old beggar said, Xiao Han frowned, and was about to speak, but Li Baosheng had already preemptively asked, "Hey, who did you listen to, saying that we are going to arrest people soon?" ”

The old beggar nodded, "Just now, not long before the two chamasters came, a few beggars came over there, saying that the city's catchers were arresting people, so let's be careful."

So when we saw the two poor masters, we remembered to run. ”

"Arrest?"

Li Baosheng pondered for a moment, and then suddenly spoke, "Let me ask you, tell you what the beggars who are about to arrest people, what do they look like, and where do they come from?" ”

Hearing Li Baosheng's question, the old beggar frowned and thought for a moment, and then said slowly, "Back to the two poor masters, they came in the same direction as you, it seems that they are all from the Chengnan Market.

As for what it looks like? ”

The old beggar's words were here, his tone paused, he lowered his head and thought for a while, and suddenly his body shook, he suddenly raised his head to look at Li Baosheng, and said in exclamation.

"The two poor masters, the villain remembers, among the several of them, there seems to be a pockmark on the face of one of them."

Speaking of this, the old beggar's tone paused, and then he said in surprise, "Two poor masters, are they the people you are looking for?" ”

Hearing the old beggar's answer, Li Baosheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "You read that right, does one of them really have pockmarks on his face?" ”

Seeing Li Baosheng's eager expression, the old beggar didn't dare to be sure, blinked, and said a little embarrassedly, "The second poor master, it seems that he has pockmarks on his face, but by your question, I have forgotten it, and I dare not be sure." ”

Hearing the old beggar's answer, Li Bao clapped his hands angrily, "Oh, why are you like this, think about it quickly, is there a pockmark on this person's face?" ”

Speaking of this, Li Baosheng's tone paused, but he was worried that the old beggar would not think about it seriously, so he hurriedly instructed, "Please think about it, this is very important to us, do you understand?" ”

Hearing Li Baosheng's question, the old beggar nodded hurriedly, lowered his head and thought about it again, but the more nervous he was, the more uncertain he became, and after thinking for a while, he didn't dare to make a final decision.

In desperation, the old beggar raised his head and looked at the few beggars behind him, and asked with a wry smile, "Do you remember the people who talked to us just now, are there pockmarks on their faces?" ”

Hearing the old beggar's question, a beggar next to him, who was about the same age as him, said slowly, "I remember, although their faces are dirty, they don't seem to have pockmarks?" ”

As soon as the old beggar's words fell, a younger beggar next to him whispered, "No, I saw the guy in the middle, and his face seemed to be pockmarked." ”

The old beggar turned his head to look at the young beggar and asked suspiciously, "Why didn't I see it?" ”

The younger beggar waved his hand, "That's because you're old, and your eyes are not good enough to see clearly." ”

After hearing the words of the younger beggar, the old beggar nodded with a wry smile and sighed, "It seems that he is really too old to see clearly!" ”

"Fang Laosan, have you really seen it clearly?"

Fang Laosan nodded, "Although I didn't talk to them just now, I can see clearly that the person standing in the middle has pockmarks on his face, and there will definitely be nothing wrong with this." ”

After hearing Fang Laosan's words, Xiao Han hurriedly asked, "Fang Laosan, then tell me, how many people are there in them?" ”

Hearing Xiao Han's question, Fang Laosan frowned and thought for a moment, then raised his head to look at Xiao Han, and said with a smile, "Two poor masters, what you want to ask, we can tell you, I don't know if the two poor masters can reward two more after asking, so that we can have a full meal?" ”

After hearing Fang Laosan's words, Xiao Han was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand, "Fang Laosan, don't worry, as long as you say it well, I will definitely reward you." ”

Hearing Xiao Han's words, Fang Laosan hurriedly arched his hand and said with a smile, "Second poor master, since you are righteous, then I naturally can't be unrighteous."

Two poor masters, if you want to ask those people about it, it's okay, I'll tell you. ”

Speaking of this, Fang Laosan's tone paused, but then, he didn't wait for Xiao Han to answer his words, so he continued to speak to himself.

"Two poor masters, just now, we were chilling in the place where you saw us, and a few people came over from the south of the city.

As for a few people, two poor masters, I can tell you that there are four of them, two of whom are a little older, and two middle-aged people who are thirty or forty years old.

And the person you are looking for with pockmarks on his face is the one of the two middle-aged people.

This person with pockmarks on his face looks like it should be the head of the four of them, because the person they came to ask was another middle-aged man, and this middle-aged man with pockmarks on his face has been standing on the side of the road and listening. ”
