Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

While the two were still strolling in the market, Leng Yuning received news from the mansion.

When he learned that Leng Youran and the others were coming, he didn't care about the customers who were still shopping in the store and went back home first.

After returning home, he did not see the two of them. When he asked Li Yi, he found out that they were still at the market.

Just when we were about to send someone to look for them, the two men came back in the dark.

When Leng Yuning saw them, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face.

After all, he had promised Li Tianze that he would tell them if he had any news.

"Little sister, why are you here?"

Leng Youran just looked at him and smiled, and that smile made Leng Yuning feel creepy.

"Little sister, don't look at me like that. I'm scared."

Leng Youran twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, walked over to him and gently patted his shoulder, "Third brother, we are all here, do you have anything to say to us?"

Leng Yuning looked at her and then at Li Tianze. Seeing the looks on their faces, she knew that she could no longer hide it.

"Okay, let's go inside and talk." After that, he ordered the people around him to prepare the meal, and the two followed him back to his yard.

The yard is very small and it is obvious that it is not intended for permanent residence. Apart from a few houses, there is nothing inside and it is bare.

Leng Youran lost all desire to appreciate the scenery and went straight into the house with him. As soon as he sat down, he asked, "Tell me, Third Brother, what's going on?"

Leng Yuning poured two cups of tea for the two of them, "You drink some tea first. By the way, how did you know..." He didn't finish the rest of the sentence because he thought of Huo Tong.

"Did Huo Tong tell you? I didn't tell you because I was afraid you'd make a wasted trip. Actually, I don't know if what I found out is true. So..."

"It's okay, just tell me first."

Seeing that the two were not angry, Leng Yuning said, "It's like this. Not long after Manrou and I arrived in Liucheng, I saw a man in the city. He looked very much like the man Manrou had described as the one who took her away. He had scabby hair and spoke incoherently. Because this man was so distinctive, Manrou only told me about him once and I remembered him."

"After seeing that man at the market, I quietly had someone follow him to see if it was them. He was quite normal for the first few days. He lived in the back village and went out alone. The people below followed him for a few days and didn't find him interacting with others. The people he occasionally contacted were just his drinking buddies."

"Just when I thought I had found the wrong person, the person I sent to follow him suddenly found me and said that the man was showing signs of leaving."

"So I had some things prepared overnight, disguised myself as a merchant, and followed him all the way. That's how I arrived in Youzhou."

As for opening a shop here, it was also a spur of the moment decision. He already had goods in his hands, so he thought since he was here, he might as well open one!

"Then, where is that person?" Leng Youran was not curious about other things, but was very curious about the person they were following.

Logically speaking, the man's features should be correct, not to mention that he didn't stay in Liucheng and had to come here. It seemed strange no matter how you looked at it.

"In the dilapidated temple outside the city."

Leng Youran and Li Tianze looked at each other, and they were already certain that this person must have been involved in kidnapping Manrou.

Otherwise, how do we explain why that person came all the way here to beg?

"Is there anyone guarding that place?"

"Yes, my people have been following him. Do you also think it's him, little sister?"

"Well, it would be strange if it wasn't him. He has a nice house but he has to come all the way here to live in a dilapidated temple."

"Yes, I think so too. That's why I not only have people keeping an eye on him these days, I've also had people keep an eye on the ruined temple as well."

"You did the right thing. By the way, now that you're here, are you comfortable leaving Manrou alone there?" Li Tianze couldn't help but feel worried when he thought of his younger sister.

"It's okay. When I came here, I specifically asked Li Xiaoxiao and the others to accompany Man Rou. After all, I don't want to mention this matter in front of Man Rong, so you guys..."

"We won't tell. Okay, Third Brother, since you have a clue, we'll investigate. By the way, you said you found that person. Did he just appear in front of you out of nowhere or..."

Leng Yuning thought for a moment, "We just happened to meet at the market, what's the matter?"

Leng Youran lowered his head and said nothing.

She didn't know if she was too suspicious. Ever since Leng Yucheng "accidentally" discovered the Zhuang Township last time, she felt that many coincidences were a bit unnatural.

"It's okay. Tianze and I will go check it out tomorrow." She would go and see what the situation was first.

Leng Youran and Li Tianze stayed in the dilapidated temple for three days.

Finally, on the third night, Baldy took action.

Lai Li, who had just returned from begging for food, went to a group of beggars.

Those beggars had become familiar with him over the past few days, especially Lai Li, who would bring back a lot of food for them every day.

They believed in him even more.

There is also a subtle tendency to treat him as the boss.

Baldy Head chattered among the beggars for a while.

After hearing his words, the beggars fell silent.

After a while, an older beggar asked tentatively:

"Laili, are you telling the truth? If we send those people away, we can get five hundred taels of silver?"

When the bald-headed man heard him shout like that, he showed contempt in his eyes, but he said, "That...that is...of course, you you you...don't no no no...think about it...in these two days...you you you you...can't you all...all be able to eat your fill? I I I I...told you that as long as you listen to me, you will have food and drink. Look at you now, not only no no no, there is food and drink, but there is also money to take. Hehehehe, maybe, if you behave well, you can also enjoy the pleasure of women..."

When he said the latter sentence, Baldy couldn't help licking his lips.

There was a gleam in his eyes.

After listening to his stumbling words, the others were almost out of breath.

However, due to his ability, no one tried to shut him up even though it was uncomfortable for them to hear.

"Have you guys thought about it? Have you made up your mind?" Seeing that they didn't say anything for a long time, Baldy couldn't help but ask.

"I'm telling you guys, if you don't want to, then I'm going to have to find someone all over again."

Seeing how anxious he was, the beggars also became tempted.

Five hundred taels!

That's money they will never earn in their lifetime.
