The people involved in the search for the silver all entered the room. Hu Batian immediately winked at his men and asked them to follow them and keep an eye on them, lest anyone do something convenient while searching.
Seeing so many people entering his house, Liu Dongluo felt nervous and wanted to stop them, but he was worried about arousing Hu Batian's suspicion.
I can only comfort myself in my heart. The things are hidden enough that no one should be able to find them.
However, when he saw that the girl wanted to follow him in to search, he frowned and winked at his wife, signaling her to step forward and stop her.
Ge Shi saw Liu Dongluo's glance, but she ignored it. Instead, she lowered her eyes and stared at the ground in trance.
Her husband's ruthlessness chilled her heart.
Although the things were hidden, Liu Dongluo was anxious when he saw that there were so many people searching for them, and seeing that Ge Shi was not moving, but he couldn't act rashly.
The house where Liu Dongluo lived had a courtyard with two entrances. After entering the house, those people immediately rummaged through the boxes and cabinets in each room.
It was not good for Ling Chu to go straight to her destination as soon as she entered. If she went in directly and turned things out, it would inevitably make people suspicious. So after entering the house, he followed him around in every room, pretending to be searching everywhere.
"Hey, which girl are you from? Why don't you stay at home and come here to interfere?" Seeing Ling Chu holding a bottle and looking through it, a man frowned and said dissatisfiedly.
Before Ling Chu opened his mouth, another older man next to him heard what his companion said and stretched out his hand to give the man a tug.
"You should ignore what Mr. Hu agrees with. If you want to get the reward, you'd better start looking for it quickly."
Although the man was a little dissatisfied, it could be seen that one of Hu Batian's followers stood aside and did not dare to say anything.
When Ling Chu saw them going to the other side and rummaging through boxes and cabinets, he didn't say anything. He put down the vase in his hand and turned around to walk out.
The attendant next to her glanced at her, and although he didn't stop him, he pointed to the man on the other side who was kneeling on the ground, knocking bricks and looking for it, and said, "Go and team up with that girl. If you two work together, you can go faster." Some."
The man who knocked the bricks saw that he was tall and thick, so he didn't dare to resist. Momo stood up from the ground and followed Ling Chu.
Ling Chu glanced at him and said nothing.
She knew that the follower just wanted her and the man to monitor each other to prevent anyone from finding the money and hiding it secretly.
Ling Chu walked to the door, but stopped and turned aside.
The man behind was confused when he saw two men walking in carrying a ladder, so he had to step aside and get out of the way.
Ling Chu was not in a hurry to go out. Instead, he watched with interest as the two men set up a ladder, climbed up to the beam, and groped inch by inch.
Seeing her looking up for a long time, the man behind him couldn't help but become anxious, "Girl, let's look for her quickly."
Ling Chu's neck just got tired. Hearing this, he looked away and walked out.
The man behind him breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed.
After leaving the flower hall, Ling Chu looked around, randomly selected a room and walked in.
After the man who followed her went in, he immediately started searching.
Ling Chu just walked around the room slowly.
After wandering around for a while, Ling Chu was bored and had no choice but to find something to say, "Brother, what's your name?"
The man stepped out of a large cabinet and said dullly, "My name is Zhou Wu."
"My surname is Ling."
Zhou Wu glanced at her, said nothing, and squatted down to tap the floor tiles again.
Ling Chu twitched the corner of his mouth, waited for him to knock around, and then said, "Let's go, there is no money in this room at all, let's change places."
Zhou Wu frowned, stood up and took a look. Seeing that there was really nothing to gain, he had no choice but to follow outside.
When I got to the yard, I happened to see a man in his forties walking in with two boys.
As soon as Hu Batian saw the man, he stood up from the Grand Master's chair and greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Manager Lu, why are you here?"
Manager Tao is the chief steward of Changlefang, a gambling house in Kyoto. There are two stewards under him, and this steward Lu is one of them.
"Seeing that you didn't reply, Manager Tao asked me to come over and have a look."
Although Hu Batian was a bully of Dongcheng's generation, he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Manager Lu and carefully asked him to sit down.
Manager Lu was not polite. After sitting down on the armchair given by Hu Batian, he frowned and said, "Why, didn't you get any money?"
Hu Batian smiled and said, "He's being found right now."
Seeing Steward Lu's gloomy expression, Hu Batian hurriedly said to the attendant next to him, "Let everyone come out and give Steward Lu a reply."
After the attendant responded, he hurriedly called all the people he was looking for into the yard.
Hu Batian and others were all present, and then he asked solemnly, "Has anyone found any silver?"
Seeing his displeasure, everyone tightened their hearts and shook their heads and said, "No."
Manager Lu's face darkened, and Hu Batian said quickly, "Liu Dongluo said that he had lost all his money, that he had sold all the valuable things, and that he had spent all the money he got back."
Seeing that Steward Lu's brows were furrowed, Hu Batian quickly reached out and pointed at the Ge family and his daughter, "Liu Dongluo can't get the money, so he wants his wife and daughter to serve Steward Tao in order to offset part of the money."
Manager Lu followed his finger and looked over, carefully looking at Ge and the girl next to her for a while, and saw that although Liu Dongluo's wife was old, she still had charm, and Liu Dongluo's daughter was also pretty.
Then he waved his hand to the two boys behind him and said, "Take them away."
Ge Shi was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she looked around anxiously. When she saw the two boys approaching, she suddenly made a puff and knelt down towards Ling Chu, "Please, girl, please save our mother and daughter." .”
Ling Chu was surprised. He didn't expect that Ge Shi, a stranger in the courtyard, would ask for help from a stranger.
Liu Xiangju's face was filled with uneasiness. Although she didn't know why her mother begged this girl, seeing her mother crying and begging while kowtowing, she also knelt down with tears in her eyes.
【Ding! Requested task detected. 】
[Please host complete the task and rescue! 】
Ling Chu glanced at the virtual screen and didn't expect that there were tasks released by the system.
Originally, she came here to look for hidden silver for the twenty taels of silver reward.
But Ge's mother and daughter asked her for help, and the system issued another task. She couldn't just sit back and do nothing about it.
"Manager Lu, if I can help find Liu Dongluo's money, can I let the Ge family go?"
Manager Lu knew that Hu Batian would sometimes pay rewards to find people to help find money in debtors' homes.
Although I didn't understand why she wanted to help the Ge family and her daughter, I didn't ask any more questions.
Although Manager Tao is a bit lustful, he values money more.
But when Manager Lu saw that the girl was so young, he didn't really believe what she said, "Does the girl know where Liu Dongluo's money is hidden?"
