Chapter 108 Scarface

Gu Yezhou asked: "Is he alone?"

Long Biao nodded: "Yes!"

"Where did he go?"

"Just go east."

"How did she transport ten bags of food away? Or do people carry it or car pull it?"

"I asked my rice merchant who stored the grain to send him a carriage to send him away."

Gu Yezhou was overjoyed, but he still didn't feel anxious. He asked, "Who is the rice merchant who stores grain in your family?"

Long Biao curled his lips, as if he didn't really want to answer Gu Yezhou's question.

Zeng Feixia quickly said in a whisper: "Young Master Long, why don't you say it again? Are you still worried that we will go to the rice merchant and steal your rice?"

"Where is this..., Qiu Fuzu, Mr. Qiu from Dongcheng."

Gu Yezhou hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you!" and turned around and left. Zeng Feixia hurriedly followed. Long Biao said loudly, "Miss Zeng, if you want to look in the mirror, come to me! I live in my uncle's house. My uncle is Long Xiaohe, who sells silk, you will know at the moment of asking..."

Zeng Feixia seemed to have not heard it and followed Gu Yezhou away.

Gu Ye Zhou knew this rice merchant Qiu Fuzu, and he was also a big rice merchant in the county. His wealth and status were no less than that of rice merchant Hu Wanghai.

The ancient Yezhou braved the wind and snow, stepped on the thick snow and ice, and after a long time of hard work, he finally arrived at Qiu Fuzu's house.

Gu Yezhou did not rush forward and knocked on the door, and said to Zeng Feixia: "You can find a way to find their carriage drivers and ask where the food has been shipped. We can follow the clues and find them!"

Zeng Feixia rolled her eyes twice, nodded, and stepped forward to slap the door. The doorman was an old man. She came out to open the door and looked at them in confusion.

Zeng Feixia smiled sweetly. Fuli said, "Uncle, we were sent by Mr. Long Biao, Gong'ezhai. We had traded with someone before and entrusted the carriage of the mansion to help deliver ten bags of food. There is something to do. We want to ask the handlebar that drives the carriage. I wonder if the handlebar has been back?"

The doorman quickly changed his smile, nodded and said, "It turns out that he is from Young Master Long's family. It's rude. Our handlebars have already returned. Please come in. Sit in the flower hall for a while, I'll find you the handlebars."

Gu Yezhou and his team followed the gatehouse into the flower hall, where there was a fire, which was very prosperous and warm.

After sitting for a while, the concierge came in with a few handlebars and bowed to salute.

Gu Yezhou looked at Zeng Feixia, and his meaning was very clear, so he asked Zeng Feixia to continue asking. Zeng Feixia also got up and gave a few handhelds: "Thank you for your hard work, uncles! Such a heavy snow and snow, I asked you to send food. Our young master is very grateful. I want to reward the uncles and ask some more things by the way."

After saying that, he took out his purse, poured some copper coins into his palm, and distributed them to a few people who drove the car.

The person who drove the car was very grateful and smiled with the money: "If you have something to do, just ask. If we know, we must tell the girl."

"Thank you! That's right. Our young master bought the same thing as that person and wanted to buy something else, so he wanted to find that person. But he didn't ask where the person lives, so he could only ask you and see where you sent the goods so that our young master could go to find him."

A handlebar type smiled and said, "We just transported it out of Beicheng, which is only about ten miles away. The snow is too heavy and it is difficult to walk on the road. When we arrived at a stone bridge, he asked us to unload all the food from the bridge. He whistled, and soon more than a dozen people came from the opposite side of the bridge to help him carry the food away."

Several other handlebars were busy nodding.

"Which direction did they go? Didn't you tell me the place?"

"No, those people left with their things. We still hoped that Scarface would give us some rewards. Unexpectedly, he was very stingy and followed him without even looking at us."

Zeng Feixia was a little disappointed and turned to look at Gu Yezhou.

Gu Yezhou was even more disappointed, and he didn't expect the situation to be like this. He thought about it and asked, "Is that person a scar face?"

"Yes, the big scar on the left cheekbones is very scary." Another handlebar type answered quickly.

Gu Yezhou asked: "Can you recall carefully where they might have gone? Or where they might have lived?"

Zeng Feixia also hurriedly added: "Yes, a few uncles, our young master is very anxious to find that person again, please think about it!"

Several handlebars looked at each other and shook their heads slowly and said they didn't know. One of the older handlebars thought about it and said, "I heard two people talking, both of which were from Qianzhou accents, and I don't know if they were from there."

Qianzhou is thousands of miles away from their Juzhou. It is impossible for them to transport food so far away. Especially now that heavy snow is falling, it is very difficult to drive cars and horses on the ground, so it is even more impossible.

Seeing Gu Yezhou pondering and not speaking, he seemed to be a little dissatisfied with this answer. The handlebars were a little nervous, as if they had taken the money and didn't get things done. The older handlebars thought about it and said, "I heard them say a few words. One of them was holding a big knife in his hand. When carrying the food, the scarred face said: 'Be careful with your sweeping wind, don't hurt it!' - I know a little bit about the cut-out lip of the Jianghu. This sweeping wind is a big knife. So, they may be people in the Jianghu, or people who have contact with the Jianghu."

Gu Yezhou's heart moved and said, "What else did they say?"

"No more, they didn't talk much, so they left with rice, and said they were careful to fall or something."

Gu Yezhou thought to himself that they would not go too far to transport the food by carrying it on their shoulders, and perhaps it was nearby! Thinking of this, Gu Yezhou stood up and said, "Thank you, we asked today, I hope you don't tell anyone."

Zeng Feixia added: "Our young master doesn't want others to know about this."

Several handlebars were busy agreeing.

Gu Yezhou and Zeng Feixia said goodbye and left. Gu Yezhou stopped and asked Zeng Feixia: "Have you ever heard of Scarface?"

"No!" Zeng Feixia thought, "I was thinking about this when I heard it before, but after thinking for a long time, I didn't think of who was Scarface."

Gu Yezhou nodded, turned around and walked straight towards the north city gate. Zeng Feixia hurriedly caught up and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Look at the stone bridge where they unloaded their grains to see if they could find those people!"

Zeng Feixia hurriedly said, "Since they know how to cut the lip and hold swords, I'm afraid they are not ordinary people. Let's find them, what if they have any intention..."

Gu Yezhou said, "It's okay, I'll just go alone, you don't have to go. You can go back first and take the medicine box back."

"No! I'm not afraid, I just said that. You are buying a mirror for me. How could I not go with you? Besides, we are dealing with them, not officers and soldiers, so they shouldn't do anything to us."

As he said that, he followed Gu Yezhou toward the city gate.

When we arrived at the city gate, because bandits entered the city twice in a row, the inspection was stricter than before. Especially those who entered the city were strictly inspected one by one before they were allowed to enter. There were also several sea capture announcements posted on the wall, with portraits of the mountain god and the bandit leader, which looked a bit like that.

When the two of them came out of the city gate, they saw some passers-by looking up at the city gate tower, a little strange. They also looked up and were surprised. There were several wooden cages above the city gate hole, with a few blood-stained heads inside!

On the wall at the city gate, there were also several notices from the yamen, which said that seven bandits including the three leaders of the bandits were captured by the officers and soldiers, and were beheaded and displayed for public display.

Zeng Feixia curled her lips and whispered: "Your sir, how did you kill me? Why did you become the credit of the officers and soldiers?"

Gu Yezhou smiled and said nothing.

Zeng Feixia said again: "The yamen still owes us a hundred dan! We have to ask them quickly. Don't be bad! Let's go and ask for it!"

The two of them continued to walk forward. It was snowing heavily and they could not see it dozens of steps away. There was only a vast white area. Fortunately, there were hillsides on both sides and only the official road in the middle, so there was no need to worry about falling down.

The two walked ten miles away with difficulty, and sure enough, they saw a stone bridge in the wind and snow, standing alone on the side of the road. After crossing the stone bridge, there was a road to the mountain. They carefully crossed the stone bridge, stood at the foot of the mountain, and first looked around to see if there were those people's footprints, but with such heavy wind and snow, the footprints had long been obscured. They looked up at the white mountains, and Zeng Feixia asked, "What should I do? Go up the mountain?"

"Go up the mountain! Only by standing high can you see far."

"But, it's amazing to see a hundred steps with such heavy snow. How can you see how far you can see?"

Gu Yezhou didn't say anything and had already stepped up the mountain. Zeng Feixia had to follow. The mountain road was covered with ice and snow, and it was very difficult to get up the mountain. She fell from time to time. When she climbed halfway up the mountain, the two had already turned into two white bears.

Gu Yezhou stopped and looked around the large pergola. Sure enough, it was still a vast white area. Not to mention the figures, even the trees were invisible, except for the snow.

Gu Yezhou was depressed. Such weather was not the time to look for. I would rather come back later. Since there was a clear scar mark on the man's face, there was a little clue. There was a glimmer of hope to find the police car.

Zeng Feixia stood there and was too lazy to slap the snowflakes on her body. Anyway, God was snowing all the time, and she would have to fall after a while, so there was no end to the snow. She was about to continue walking up the mountain, but she saw Gu Yezhou turning around and walking down the mountain, and quickly said, "What's wrong? I won't go up the mountain?"

"The snow is too heavy, wait until the snow stops before coming!"

"I just said it! If you don't listen, don't you have to follow my words now? -Oh!" Before he finished speaking, Zeng Feixia fell.
