Chapter 46 The whereabouts of the letter
Big Beard thinks that the defeat just now was just because this kid made a shameless sneak attack and tripped him up when he was not prepared.
He was careless and didn't dodge.
"Go to hell!"
The bearded man turned around and swung the steel knife.
This time Big Beard used 100% of his skills. As long as he is serious, this kid will never be his opponent.
Gu Hao's response was still a kick...
This kick hit the bearded man in the chest, sending him flying several meters and crushing a large bamboo forest.
The bearded man was lying on the ground with several ribs broken in his chest. Now he finally realized how scary the young man in front of him was, and he quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy, saying: "My hero, have mercy on me, my hero, have mercy on me..."
Although my chest hurts, it’s not as important as surviving.
"Keep your head up."
Gu Hao withdrew his kick. He was showing mercy. If he really wanted to kill him, he could have killed the bearded man with just one kick.
"Thank you, hero, for not killing. Thank you, hero, for not killing."
"Are you Iron Beard?" Gu Hao took out the reward portrait and looked at the big bearded man.
Iron Beard replied cautiously: "The younger one is Iron Beard. Are you looking for me, hero?"
It doesn't matter if he doesn't reply. The other party has a wanted warrant for him, so there's no point in denying it.
No wonder Gu Hao would confirm again that the ink-and-wash portrait emphasizes the meaning rather than the form.
Gu Hao originally thought that the portrait was ugly enough, but it turned out that Iron Beard was several times uglier than the portrait. The only similarity between the two was the thick beard.
"I heard that you have a man named Ergou?"
"My hero, are you here to find Ergou? Did that blind dog offend you? I will help you call that dog over right away. If you want to kill or chop it up, you are free to do so. The younger one can even do it for you!"
When Iron Beard heard that the other party was not here to find him, he immediately felt relieved.
He said that although he was a wanted criminal, the problem was that he was a bandit and a big shot who could subdue him with a casual kick would not care about his reward.
At this time, another large group of people ran out of the bamboo forest, holding weapons in their hands. There were not many swords, but axes, maces and maces accounted for the majority. They were full of gangster spirit. They looked like a group of ruffians.
They were sweating profusely and panting. When they saw Iron Beard kneeling on the ground, they were a little confused: "Huhu... Boss... you... this is?"
"You all kneel down!"
As Iron Beard spoke, these minions did not dare to ask any more questions and knelt down one after another.
It can be seen that Iron Beard still has some prestige in front of his younger brother.
"Who is Ergouzi?"
As soon as Gu Hao finished speaking, all the bandits turned their heads at the same time, focusing on a thin little guy.
The boat of friendship can capsize at will.
Okay, no need to answer, they are all a group of honest people.
Iron Beard said angrily: "You piece of shit, get out of here!"
Ergouzi was trembling with fear and staggered out of the crowd. They all called him brothers when nothing happened, but they sold him out without hesitation when something happened. What a bullshit brother.
"Sir, I have never offended you..."
Gu Hao asked: "A month ago, did you enter Qingping City and go to Chen's house to find Chen Haiping?"
Upon hearing this, Iron Beard's expression changed instantly.
"The younger one has indeed been to the Chen Mansion."
"What are you doing in the Chen Mansion?"
"Send a letter."
"What letter? What does the letter say?"
"I just went to deliver the letter. I really don't know what the letter said."
Ergouzi said aggrievedly: "Sir, the little one is illiterate."
A ruffian like him has never been to the academy for a day since he was a child. He can't even write his own name, let alone peek at the contents of letters.
If you really read books and can read a few big characters, you won't become a bandit.
"Who asked you to deliver the letter?"
"This..."
Although Er Gouzi didn't say it out loud, just like his brother, he was an honest man and looked at his boss.
Iron Beard looked ugly, and the blame fell on him in the end.
"Hero, spare your life..."
Gu Hao looked at Iron Beard and smiled: "No need to talk nonsense, let's get down to business."
He believes that Iron Beard is a smart man. After all, he can kneel down so easily. It is easiest to question such a person.
"The younger one is just a middleman, conveying messages between Chen Haiping and the mysterious man. Apart from that, he is not involved in other matters, and the mysterious man has not appeared for a long time."
Because the mysterious man no longer appeared, Iron Beard felt strange and sent his younger brother to the city to find out the news. Only then did he know that something had happened to Chen Haiping.
At first, Iron Beard was scared to death, but a month passed and nothing happened. He thought it would just go away, but he didn't expect trouble to come.
"Mysterious man?"
"The mysterious man always covered his face every time he appeared, and his voice was also disguised. His cultivation was low and he couldn't tell the difference. He just handed the letter to Chen Haiping as instructed."
Iron Beard explained: "Chen Haiping would sometimes ask me to hand over letters to the mysterious person. The letters were sealed with fire paint, and I didn't dare to open them, so I didn't know what was written in them either."
"When was the last time you saw that mysterious man?"
"It's the letter Ergouzi sent more than a month ago."
Gu Hao asked: "Have you received any reply from Chen Haiping during this period?"
The Chen family was sealed only last week, and there was a period of time in between. If Chen Haiping had a letter during this period, but the mysterious man did not appear, the letter is most likely still in Iron Beard's hands.
Iron Beard's eyes flashed and he hesitated: "This... yes, yes... it's just..."
Gu Hao's eyes showed murderous intent. It seems that he overestimated the bearded man's IQ, and he still wanted benefits when he was about to die?
The first-class warrior's momentum no longer restrained, and instantly pressed on Iron Beard.
"My hero, please spare my life. It's not that I didn't tell the small things. It's just that the letter was stolen."
Iron Beard made a bitter face and said: "Young man also knew that the letter might be of great importance, so he hid it together with other treasures. As a result, he met a female thief this morning and stole all the treasures. The woman
The thief just passed by you, hero."
"Really?"
Gu Hao narrowed his eyes and considered whether Iron Beard might be planning to cause trouble and lend his hand to deal with the girl.
"Really, Chen Haiping's reply is now on the female thief. I can swear to God that everything I said is true, otherwise I will be struck by lightning and I will die!"
Gu Hao frowned, Iron Beard swore so steadfastly, it didn't look like a lie, but the girl had already disappeared without a trace, and it was really not that easy to find her.
Moreover, according to Su Han's memory, he did not want to have anything to do with that girl.
"Okay, you all should leave."
Gu Hao waved to the bandits.
"Thank you..."
Iron Beard was about to say something, but before he could say anything, he was knocked unconscious by Gu Hao with a knife.
Gu Hao has no interest in these gangsters.
But Iron Beard must be taken back to the government. If this guy lied, there will be a special person to interrogate him.
