Suddenly, Liu Xianxue tightened her coarse cloth clothes, stood next to Liu Hao and whispered: "Those few people behind seem to be from Master Fang's house too. Don't look back! They probably went out of the city to look for someone, and now they haven't found anyone and are back."

"It's okay, stay calm. You look completely different now than before. They may not recognize you! Don't scare yourself. Stay calm!"

Liu Xianxue looked at her coarse cloth clothes and wide straw sandals. Her shoes were raised a lot, and she looked very different from before.

Although they were wearing clothes of this era before, they had been busy traveling and had not been able to integrate well into this world.

Therefore, they seemed out of tune with this era. In addition, both of them had their hair curled and dyed. The scumbag Cheng Cheng gave them the name of exotic beauties and only sold them for 20 taels of silver.

Now they put on completely different makeup, changed their clothes, pants and shoes, and completely fit in with the poor of this era. They instantly calmed down and relaxed a lot.

There were three or four people between the people behind them and their group, and they could still hear their cursing.

The men walked very quickly, and the officers at the city gate were probably familiar with them, so they were not checked and walked in directly. I could hear their conversation as they passed by:

"This is really strange. We have been searching for so long but haven't found anyone. We haven't seen any fighting either. Everyone just disappeared out of thin air! This Zhao Dagou, when the time comes, I will see how the master will deal with him!"

"Maybe Zhao Dagou kidnapped those two women and enjoyed them all by himself. They can be sold for a good price anywhere."

"No way, even though Master Fang has a bad temper, he still makes sure we have enough to eat. How can they survive without us these days?

Even if the two women can be sold for some money, it won't be enough for them to squander for long. If you follow Master Fang, you don't have to worry about these trivial things!"

"That's right. I also think they won't run away. Since they won't run away, could something have happened?"

"What could possibly happen to so many of them? Can't they beat those two girls?"

"Are those two women monsters from overseas? Did they capture Zhao Dagou and the others?"

"What kind of monster is this? If it's a monster, can we catch it?"

"That's not necessarily the case. Maybe he doesn't want to reveal his strength?"

"So where do you think they went?"

The other man slapped the man who was talking nonsense on the head: "What nonsense..."

After they walked away, Lin Weizhong and his companions slowly approached the city gate and prepared to enter the city.

Fortunately, Lin Weizhong and Liu Hao often go in and out of the city gate, and they would exchange a few words with the gatekeepers when entering and leaving the city these days.

Occasionally they would be given some wild vegetables and fruits, and if there was extra prey they would secretly give some to their leader.

They had become familiar with the group of people guarding the city gate. Even though the officer this time was not the same person from the morning, he did not make things difficult for them and let them in.

After entering the city, a few people seemed to be walking on another street, but in fact they were the people who found Master Fang and wanted to follow them to see the situation.

After entering the city, four or five men went straight to Master Fang’s mansion.

After Lin Weizhong and his companions entered the city, they had already walked a long distance away.

Lin Weizhong asked Liu Hao to take the other three people and head home first. It would be more convenient for him to go alone to investigate the situation.

"Take them home first. There's no rush. Just walk slowly. I'll go with them and check out the situation. I'll catch up with you guys soon!"

Liu Hao: "Okay, Brother Lin, be careful!"

Liu Xianxue: "Brother Lin, be careful. If nothing goes wrong, we can discuss it later."

Master Fang was already quite famous when he was a Yuanwailang. Later, after his third son became the Dianshi of the county government, Master Fang changed the name to the Dianshi Mansion.

Their home is at the East Gate, which is quite a long way to walk back. Mr. Fang lives in a better location on West Street, so it can be reached quickly.

Sure enough, after walking for a quarter of an hour, they arrived at where Master Fang lived, next to which was the Dianshi Mansion of his third brother.

You can tell that the house is very big just by looking at the gate. It is not the yard of an ordinary small family.

As for how big it is, Lin Weizhong really doesn’t understand and doesn’t know how to describe it.

After the group went in, Lin Weizhong was wondering how he could eavesdrop. Fortunately, it was getting darker and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road.

Lin Weizhong served in the army for many years and also worked as a policeman. He was still so skilled that he could easily climb over a dirt wall and move along the wall on his hands and toes.

The yard had three entrances. Just when he was worried about not being able to find anyone, he heard the sound of teacups falling.

He quickly moved towards the place where the sound came from, and heard angry curses coming from a room:

"What? We haven't found a single person. We want to find the person alive or the body dead. How can there be nothing? You are a bunch of useless people. What's the point of me spending so much food to feed you..."

"Master, it's true. We searched the area at the foot of the mountain and didn't see anyone. We also didn't find any signs of fighting. Occasionally, some villagers came down from the mountain to pick wild vegetables. When we asked them, they all said they didn't see anyone!"

"Yes, sir, it's really weird. Do you think those two women are monsters from overseas? They took everyone away!"

Another teacup was thrown at him: "I think you are the monster, get out of here!"

One of the men said, "Master, the man who sold them has also run away. He may have been guilty or he may have joined the two women. They are a group of people who came to defraud money."

When Master Fang heard him say this, he suddenly understood. This was very possible, but the man ran away.

"Go and see if Third Master has returned. Ask an artist to draw the portraits of those three people, and ask Third Master to look for them when he is on patrol tomorrow."

"Yes, sir."

"Wait, I'll buy a few more people tomorrow, and you guys should also bring the portraits to find them, especially the two city gates. You must keep an eye on them.

The city gates are closed now, guard the two gates before they are opened tomorrow. As long as they are still in the city, I will make sure they can’t escape.”

"Yes, the master is wise."

After eavesdropping, Lin Weizhong hid himself immediately when he saw someone coming out. He waited until the men left before he secretly climbed over the wall and left.

It seems that it was indeed that man who sold out Liu Xianxue and the other person, and now he is running away with the money.

It would have been fine if he had just run away, but now he has implicated Liu Xianxue and the others, who are also being hunted down for their portraits.

He must go back early and make plans. No matter what, Liu Xianxue and the other two will definitely be caught. To deal with them, he must think of a foolproof way to avoid implicating the entire team.
