The little beggar poured the cake into his garment and wrapped it up. He gently pushed the plate, and found that his dirty, black little hand had left a few fingerprints on the jade-like white porcelain, and he couldn't help but shrink back.

Glancing at Gu Chengyu, he was relieved to find that he was not angry.

"The places where we stay are divided, and I was assigned here to beg. Since it is divided, it is not allowed to go to other places, otherwise you will have your leg broken. But I'm small, and I'm fast, and I often go out and hang around, and they can't catch me. ”

The little beggar was a little smug when he talked about this, in fact, he also knew that if he was caught sooner or later, he would be beaten badly.

Gu Chengyu's eyes lit up, "Oh? So, you're familiar with this place? If the official asks you to identify these beggars, it shouldn't be difficult for you? ”

The little beggar nodded heavily, "I know all the beggars in the capital, those three people are always begging in Xicheng, the one in the middle is called Da Pole, I forget what the names of those two are, but I often see these two people together with Da Pole." ”

Gu Chengyu glanced at the big pole when he heard this, and found that this person was thin and tall, like a hemp pole, and the name was somewhat appropriate.

It's just that when Mingmo asked these three people before, why did these three people run away?

"Did they steal something and get caught by the adults? In fact, they didn't steal anything, that is, they stole the footcloth of Aunt Wang's house over there, the beans dried by Aunt Zhang's house in the west, and the buns from the small steamed bun shop on the corner of Xicheng Street..."

Mingmo felt a little funny, this kid was clever, but he was still a little naïve. The childish words are laughing to hear, but they have something important to do now, how can they listen to this little baby talking nonsense here?

However, he was also a little disappointed afterwards, and it seemed that these three people were not the people they were looking for.

Only Gu Chengyu was happy when he heard it, "You seem to be very familiar with the people nearby, what about the shops here in Nancheng?" ”

"Of course it's cooked! I wander around Nancheng every day, and I know which family ate what food today, and whose business is good. Even if the lady has a good match, I can tell who it is! ”

The little beggar wandered around the southern city all day, and did not concentrate on begging in one place, and he did get more money than other beggars by begging in this way.

"What are you talking about?" The little beggar actually said such shameless words in front of adults, Mingmo immediately frowned and reprimanded.

The little beggar shouted at Mingmo like this, and was suddenly frightened.

Gu Chengyu glanced at Mingmo, how could a child who was crawling around in the market be too harsh on him? Besides, the child is still young, maybe just hearing others say this, where do you understand what it means to be good?

"Do you know what's strange about Southside lately? Tell me whatever it is. ”

Gu Chengyu took out a tael of silver from his purse and handed it to the little beggar.

It's not that he doesn't want to give more, but he knows that if he gives more, he will definitely not be able to keep it. Not only can't you keep it, but you will also get into trouble.

When the little beggar saw the silver, his eyes lit up. He immediately took the silver from Gu Chengyu's hand and carefully put it in his pocket.

Then he thought about it carefully before he said: "Two days ago, there was a strange thing in Aunt Wang's family, the eldest son of her family is a dart master, named Wang Liang, who works in the Weihu Dart Bureau in Nancheng. It's just that this person didn't come back two days ago, and the family thought they had gone out to dart, but this time they didn't say a word in advance. In the past two days, Mrs. Wang's grandson was sick and wanted to go to the dart bureau to get some silver on credit to see her grandson, but when Mrs. Wang went to the dart bureau to ask, she found that the people in the dart board had changed. ”

When Gu Chengyu heard this, his heart suddenly sank. He looked at Mingmo for a moment, then at the little beggar.

Aunt Wang asked the people in the dart bureau when Wang Liang would come back, but the people in the dart bureau said they didn't know. Later, she asked several people, some said it would take a month, and some said it would take half a year, anyway, every time she asked, the result was different. It seems that all the darts in this dart game are new, and she didn't see the head of the dart, so she felt strange, and when she came back, she told her neighbors about it, and she was even more anxious. ”

When the little beggar spoke of rising, he spoke a little more.

"There's something even stranger! I know Brother Wang Liang very well, he often gives me food, and I want to go to the dart bureau to inquire about it when I hear this. These new dart masters are actually the same name as the original dart masters, don't you think it's strange? There is also a man named Wang Liang, but it is not the Wang Liang I know. ”

As he spoke, the little beggar smelled the aroma of plum blossom cakes in his pocket, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and his mouth became a little greedy.

It's just that this noble man is still here, where does he dare to eat?

"My lord, does this matter?" The little beggar glanced at Gu Chengyu carefully, he knew that it was all trivial.

It's just that he received a tael of silver from this adult, and he boasted about Haikou just now, and now he says he doesn't know, isn't that a loss of face?

"Count! Anything else strange? Let's talk about it too! Gu Chengyu glanced at the little beggar and saw that he spoke in a clear manner, not like a five or six-year-old child, and expected that his age should be more than this age.

"In an alley in front of me, Mr. Zhang's family wanted to find a few nursing homes, but yesterday there were more than 20 people who came to apply! This old man was all recruited into the hospital. Our friends who begged together also discussed, saying that this master must have made some windfall. Otherwise, his family would have to recruit so many nurses in the small courtyard that he entered? ”

Mr. Zhang's family only has a small amount of money, and the yard is not big, where are there more than 20 nursing homes? The little beggar also heard the big beggars talk a few words, and then talked about it as a joke.

The little beggar could see that this adult liked to listen to these trivial things. Then he will pick these things and say, maybe the adults will be satisfied, and they will reward him with some silver.

"But anything like that?" Gu Chengyu counted the number of people and felt that it should match the number of assassins.

There must be a lot of people in the dart bureau, plus Master Zhang's family, it is estimated that there should be dozens of people.

The little beggar frowned and pondered for a moment, and realized that there was nothing strange about it. It's just that he was afraid that Gu Chengyu would blame him, so he took the silver away.

Just ask a few words, and then give silver, where is there such a good thing?

"In the alley to the west, Cuihua lost a small coat, and Miss Wen Lan of Yicui Building was ransomed and taken away by an old man..."

Gu Chengyu's face was embarrassed when he heard this, knowing that he couldn't say anything.

"That's it! Tell me when you think of it! However, you can't stay here for the time being, I ask you, do you want to live a worry-free life? ”

Gu Chengyu squatted down and looked at the little beggar at eye level. Looking at the little beggar's smart eyes, he asked with a smile.
