"Oh?" Chai Yan made a voice and looked at the landlord with questioning eyes: "Are you sure?"
The landlord nodded affirmatively and said: "Sure, sir, I pass by here every day. Sometimes I will see Cai Baozhong sitting in the yard looking at this little bell in a daze. If anyone interrupts him at this time, who will he follow?"
Urgent, later on when I had a drink with him, I accidentally learned that this little bell fell off his daughter's bracelet, and he kept it like a treasure."
Chai Yan nodded slightly after hearing this, and then asked: "Then do you know where Cai Baozhong's wife and daughter live now?"
The landlord shook his head and said: "This little guy doesn't know. I only heard Cai Baozhong say that the mother and daughter returned to their parents' home and lived in the countryside outside the city."
"After they separated, they never communicated again?" Chai Yan asked.
"No." The landlord shook his head and said, "Sir, Cai Baozhong has lived here for more than three years. He has always been a loner. Except for the occasional person who comes to ask for debts, I have never seen him interact with any friends.
ah."
"Debt? Who will pay the debt?" Chai Yan asked hurriedly.
The landlord said: "He's from a gambling house in the next street. I can't tell you his name..."
Chai Yan thought that the street next door was Big Hulu Street.
"It doesn't matter what people's names are, the key is which gambling house they belong to. You have to think about it carefully!" Chai Yan said seriously.
The landlord suddenly frowned, recalled it hard, and muttered: "It seems to be called... called Chang... what does it look like..."
As soon as Chai Yan heard the word "Chang", a name flashed in his mind, and he immediately answered: "Changsheng Gambling House?"
The landlord was stunned, and immediately nodded: "Yes, yes, sir, it's Changsheng Gambling House, and those people are from Changsheng Gambling House!"
Chai Yan smiled inwardly and thought to himself that now that he knew it was Changsheng Casino, it would be much more convenient later.
Chai Yan asked again: "Besides the people from Changsheng Gambling House, have anyone from other gambling houses come to see Cai Baozhong? Or do you know which gambling house Cai Baozhong still owes money to?"
The landlord shook his head again and replied: "I don't know about that villain. Anyway, I have only seen people from Changsheng Gambling House come to him. Those thugs beat and kicked the door so hard that they almost gave up the door."
It was broken, and the villain just went up and said something in distress, and almost got a beating!"
Chai Yan was about to speak when the landlord said again: "Sir, you don't know that the villain was willing to rent the house to him because he was an errand in the Wude Department and thought that he could ask him for help in the future. But who can
I know that after moving in, not only can this guy not be of much help, but he still owes the villain all day long for rent. If the villain presses him for rent a few more times, he will be cruel to me! Oh, I am really in trouble...
....”
As soon as the landlord started talking, he was like a barrage of firecrackers: "If I had known this, I would definitely not rent the house to him! Now he has run away and the rent has not been received. This is not bad luck."
The most unlucky thing is that my house has been sealed by the government. I don’t know when the seal will be lifted... Sir, can you tell me when the seal will be lifted and the house can be returned?
Give it to the villain? The villain is really anxious..."
The landlord's arrogant words made Chai Yan feel dizzy. Chai Yan didn't want to tangle with the landlord anymore, so he replied: "When the person is found and caught, the house will be returned to you."
After saying that, Chai Yan stopped talking to the landlord and took Ge Hong and the other five people out of the courtyard.
After leaving Quanshui Street, Chai Yan and his party turned onto Da Hulu Street and walked towards the location of Changsheng Gambling House.
Cheng Jiu followed Chai Yan and whispered: "Sir, I heard that the people in the gambling house are not easy to deal with. If they refuse to talk after a while, shall we take action directly?"
Chai Yan said: "Don't be nervous, I know the people from Changsheng Casino."
Soon, Chai Yan and his party arrived in front of the Changsheng Gambling House.
It was still early at this time, and the Changsheng Casino was not very busy yet, but there were also a few diligent gamblers coming in and out.
Just as Chai Yan was about to go in, a man who looked like a thug came out of the gambling house, yawning long.
Chai Yan stopped the man and asked, "Is Guo Bao here?"
The thug was suddenly startled. He couldn't help but look at Chai Yan and the five people behind him, and secretly said with fear in his heart: "You...who are you?"
Cheng Jiu immediately glared and shouted: "My master is asking you now!"
The thug was startled and quickly replied: "Brother Bao is...sleeping upstairs..."
"Cheng Jiu..." Chai Yan turned to look at Cheng Jiu, shaking his head slightly to tell him not to do this.
Cheng Jiu nodded immediately, and his fierce expression became calmer.
Later, Chai Yancai said to the thug: "Please go in and ask Guo Bao to come down. Just say that an acquaintance is here and ask him something... Thank you for your hard work!"
"Oh, oh, sir, please wait a moment, wait a moment..."
The thug was frightened by the posture of Cheng Jiu and others, turned around and ran into the gambling house.
After a while, Guo Bao came out aggressively with a group of brothers.
"Je... Sir?" Guo Bao was stunned as soon as he saw Chai Yan's face.
After the thug went up to wake up Brother Bao, Brother Bao thought that an enemy was coming to destroy the place, so he immediately called all the brothers in the gambling house and rushed out to prepare for a fight.
"You're welcome, Guo Bao." Chai Yan greeted with a smile.
Guo Bao quickly came to his senses, opened his mouth and shouted at the group of people behind him: "Why are you standing there, why don't you say hello to Sir Alex!"
"Hello, Sir..."
"I have met the lord..."
"Hail, my lord."
Suddenly, the front door of Changsheng Gambling House became lively.
Chai Yan nodded and said to Guo Bao: "Let them all disperse. I have something to ask you."
Guo Bao nodded quickly, and then said to his subordinates: "It's gone, it's all gone! Don't bother the Lord here..."
As soon as he finished speaking, these thugs dispersed like birds and beasts.
Guo Baodao: "Sire, please go upstairs and sit down. I just bought some good tea two days ago."
Chai Yan shook his head and said no, then took Guo Bao alone to a deserted place and asked: "I want to ask you about someone..."
Guo Bao nodded and bowed: "Sir, who do you want to inquire about? There are few villains on this small Hulu Street who don't know."
Chai Yan said: "Do you recognize a man named Cai Baozhong?"
"Cai Baozhong..." Guo Baozhong began to think about it.
Chai Yan reminded: "This person lives in Quanshui Street next door. He is addicted to gambling. He is thirty-eight or nine years old and is a frequent visitor to your gambling house."
"Ah!" Guo Bao then remembered and nodded: "I remember, it's Cai Baozhong from Wude Division, right?"
"Yes, that's him!" Chai Yan nodded.
Guo Baomao covered his mouth with his hands and whispered: "Sir, that guy ran away a long time ago. I heard that he was charged with colluding with the rebel party..."
Chai Yan asked again: "Cai Baozhong's wife and daughter, do you know where they live?"
Guo Bao shook his head and said, "I don't know. I just heard that the mother and daughter went to their parents' house outside the city. We don't know exactly where they are."
"You don't know?" Chai Yan frowned.
Guo Bao raised a finger and scratched his forehead, thought for a moment and said, "Maybe that person knows, but I'm not sure."
"Who is it?" Chai Yan asked.
Guo Baimai pointed to the front of Da Hulu Street: "Xu Hai from Longyun Gambling House is just like the villain, he also watches the action."
"Why do you think he would know?" Chai Yan was puzzled.
Guo Bao then said: "Your Majesty, you should know that that guy Cai Baozhong sold his ancestral home and divorced his wife, right?"
"Yeah, I know..." Chai Yan nodded slightly, indicating that he would continue.
Guo Baodao: "At that time, Cai Baozhong was not gambling with us at Changsheng. He was a frequent visitor to Longyun Gambling House. Later, he incurred a lot of debt due to his bad luck in gambling. People from Longyun went to his house to collect the debt, but Cai Baozhong was often not at home. Xu
Hai and the others met Cai Baozhong's wife and daughter every time they went there. Gradually, the mother and daughter became more and more disgusted with the people in the gambling house, so his wife took her daughter back to live with her parents...
..."
Guo Bao took a breath and continued: "Xu Hai naturally didn't dare to go to Wudesi to collect the debt, so he found a way to get the address of his wife's natal home, and then took people to his wife's natal home to collect the debt. Now
It's incredible that when this matter reached Cai Baozhong,
According to my ears, two brothers around Xu Hai disappeared the next day and could not be found. Later, Xu Hai, who was lucky, was also afraid and no longer dared to harass Cai Baozhong's wife and daughter. I heard that the money
