Chapter 159 (2/2)

“Yes” Shopkeeper Mi became spirited as soon as he saw that the other party was interested “And he’s not bad at it, even if he seldofu to , and that’s why not many people know I kneas him the instant I heard that Marquis Gao died of a sound They recently had soood state”

“You should have spoken up earlier”

“I… didn’t want to cause trouble”

Gu Shenwei humphed callously to express his skepticism towards this explanation If Zhou Huan had truly killed Marquis Gao, it would only be appropriate for Shopkeeper Mi to hate him to the core – it was because of this sword that the money he lent out turned to ashes

Shopkeeper Mi’s face turned red “Actually, it was only when you brought up the rice grain issue yesterday that I began to suspect him Zhou Huan loves to eat uncooked rice and would always carry soless to ht, those silvers cannot be brought back”

“Who have youMaster to?”

“nobody After the two of you left, I was busy packing s and didn’t see anyone else” An expression of shock appeared on his face

“Where does Zhou Huan live?”

“At Heng Sheng Riceshop on the corner of the street He was an associate there and is now its owner”

Gu Shenept a glance at his companions and raised his saber

Shopkeeper Mi waved his hands non-stop in front of his body, as if this was sufficient to block a sharp blade “Master Yang, Master Yang, please spareI know I’ll hand in the silvers at the end of the le cent less”

“It would have been better if you spoke up earlier”

One of Shopkeeper Mi’s fingers fell on to the ground as Gu Shenwei flicked his blade

There was no need to kill a Protector ed money; it was the more appropriate choice to keep him alive and make him continue to pay up – or at least this hat Gu Shenwei thought, and hoould explain things to Tenth Young Master when he got back

Shangguan Ru was much more interested in Zhou Huan than she was about the money issue “What’s a ‘male prostitute’?”

“A male who’s the pet of another male” Gu Shenwei explained frankly He had reasoned to hi to be treated as a male, there was no need for him to be indirect about the matter

“How’s that possible? Can a feuan Ru enquired without end

“Yes, that’s possible… anything is possible” Gu Shenwei suddenly felt a jolt in his heart and recalled what he had eavesdropped in the garden of the Meng fa to the question, he acted even more unperturbed

“Ohaudacious questions while the other isn’t even eo arrest that Zhou Huan fella?” Shangguan Yushi+ could not go on listening to them

“The person who should be red-faced is you,” Gu Shenwei thought However, he was happy that she changed the subject “In a while, I shall go keep an eye on hi hiuan Ru wanted to join in the fun until Gu Shenwei explained to her the monotony of a surveillance task; one could not guan Yushi+ echoing the sa Master’s enthusiaser the first tiht the same way as Master Yu The former reckoned that this was because they had si tree” provided by Tenth Young Master, they were enemies but also two of a kind

Gu Shenanted to monitor the suspect because he still had an inner doubt “If Zhou Huan is truly afind trouble withand Marquis Gao, the former should have understood Zhou Huan’s situation and suspected hi spoken unfavorably about surveillance tasks, Gu Shenwei, in fact, did not want to spend an entire day observing a rice shop He planned to cut straight to the point and walk right into the enemy’s ca, the shops on the street were all already open for business, save for Heng Sheng Riceshop, which doors were tightly shut When Gu Shenwei broke the doors down and entered, he discovered that there was nobody inside The shelves were neatly stacked while the barrels of rice were filled to the brim – Zhou Huan had run away in a hurry

A macheteman went to the nearby shops to make enquiries, and learned that the rice shop had not been open for three days

The investigation was carried out way too late Gu Shenwei had already wasted the precious ti Marquis Gao’s death

After searching carefully through the shop, a few machetemen were finally able to find an important “clue” in a rice barrel: there was a corpse of a young man inside, covered up by the rice

One of the machetemen confidently claimed that the man had been dead for at least three days

Gu Shenwei took a look at the corpse and could vaguely tell it was Zhou Huan There was a sword in its hand, while its neck was half snapped and its head was tilted to one side The neck wound was shaped like a laughing rains red as well

It appeared that Zhou Huan had slit his own throat Gu Shenwei had gotten into trouble once again
