One of them saw that Qin Shu was dressed in tattered clothes and could not help but scold, “Be careful. Can you afford to compensate if you bump into him?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Shao Qingyuan suddenly raised his head and looked at the man who spoke. His eyes narrowed.
Dai Wenhuo, who was beside him, wanted to retort, but Shao Qingyuan stopped him.
Those people only said this before leaving.
Qin Shu also hurried out of the private room and went to the backyard to fetch the ox cart.
As soon as the door of the private room closed, Dai Wenhuo looked at Shao Qingyuan, who had a serious expression on his face. “Why are you stopping me?”
Gu Yundong said at the same time, “Do you know the man who spoke?”
Shao Qingyuan was actually a little uncertain. “His voice sounds familiar, and his eyes are very similar.” After a pause, he turned to Gu Yundong and said, “Do you still remember that we encountered a group of robbers on the way to Qing’an Prefecture with the escort agency to transport the four jars of wine from the Tao family?”
“You mean…”
Shao Qingyuan nodded. “Back then, the leader of the robbers said a few words. I heard it, and it was the same voice as that person just now. Although their faces were covered back then, their eyes were exposed. The man’s eyes were also very similar to that person’s just now.”
When they encountered the robbers back then, although they were all safe and sound in the end, those people really wanted their lives.
If Gu Yundong had not put the four jars of wine into the space on the spot, the robbers would have thought that they had robbed an empty carriage and turned around to leave. Perhaps they would have been injured or killed.
Later on, this matter was reported to the government office. The government office also sent people to investigate, but unfortunately, they found nothing.
After Shao Qingyuan and the others returned to Fengkai County, they had also told Tao Feng, the eldest son of the Tao family. Unfortunately, Tao Feng didn’t have any clues, so they still didn’t know where these robbers had come from or where they had escaped to.
However, he did not expect to see someone suspected of being a robber in this small Anbei Town.
“Shall we go and take a look?”
Shao Qingyuan nodded and followed Gu Yundong out.
However, he was stopped by Dai Wenhuo. “Since he’s seen you before, you’ll be easily discovered if you go.” He called Dai Yi. “Follow them and take a look. Be careful not to be discovered.”
“Yes.”
Dai Yi quickly left the private room and Shao Qingyuan sat back down.
Dai Yi had experience in this aspect, so it was indeed more suitable for him to go.
After a quarter of an hour, Dai Yi returned. His expression was a little serious, but he shook his head at them and said, “There’s nothing unusual. They should just be here to eat.”
Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan looked at each other and did not ask further. They stood up and said, “Let’s go down first. Qin Shu must be anxious.”
The few of them went downstairs. As expected, Qin Shu was already waiting outside the restaurant. He was lowering his head and chatting with the cow, looking very happy.
Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan walked in front, while Dai Wenhuo was a few steps behind.
Then, Dai Yi whispered into his ear.
Dai Wenhuo’s expression suddenly changed. “Are you serious?”
“Yeah, he might be related to the guy we’re looking for.”
Dai Wenhuo sneered. In that case, this trip was not completely fruitless.
“Young Master, should we…”
Dai Wenhuo raised his hand. “Keep an eye on them for now. Check their footholds. If they’re really related, it’s best to follow the trail to where they hid the thing deep in the mountains.”
“Yes.”
Dai Yi took a few steps back and turned to leave.
Only then did Dai Wenhuo quickly walk forward and catch up to Shao Qingyuan and the others.
