Shao Qingyuan glanced at them. Yes, they were all wearing new clothes, and their hair was glossy. It was just that the smile on their faces was really… too flattering.
“It’s not too late.” As he spoke, he turned to look at Gu Yundong. “What do you think about letting them inquire?”
Gu Yundong was still a little surprised. “Why… are they here?”
These four people were the beggars who had previously helped them lie in the prefectural city.
“I don’t think I know anyone here. We need someone to help us look for Uncle Gu. These people are quite reliable, so I might as well let them come together.”
It was only after Gu Yundong left Yongfu Village that Shao Qingyuan suddenly realized that he needed to nurture reliable people.
Otherwise, the next time she went somewhere else, he might still not be able to follow her.
Although he had met these four people in the prefectural city of Yongning Prefecture, they were not bad. Back then, they had promised Gu Yundong to find trouble with Yu Youwei. Later, they had been caught by him, but no matter how hard he tried to interrogate them, they never gave Gu Yundong away.
They even knew how to divert attention and simply told the authorities about the Gao brothers.
The four of them were not very old, about twelve or thirteen years old. They were all very thin.
One of them was the tallest. He looked like their boss, called Ah Mao.
Yes, the four of them were called Ah Mao, Ah Shu, Ah Gou, and Ah Zhu.
When Gu Yundong heard the names for the first time, she felt thunderstruck. Did they gather all the animals in the house? Maybe they should look for other animals if they had brothers.
Ah Mao smiled and patted his chest at Gu Yundong. “Don’t worry, Miss. I promise we’ll find out anything you want to know. Although we’re all in the prefectural city, Ah Shu used to live in Jiangyu County. He’s very familiar with this place.”
Ah Shu immediately nodded.
Gu Yundong looked at Shao Qingyuan and agreed after some thought. “Do you know about the Gu village?”
“I know.” Ah Shu said, “I have a distant relative who married into the Gu village. Most of the people in that village have the surname Gu. The head of the Gu clan is not a good person.”
Oh, that was exactly what Gu Yundong was thinking.
Wasn’t that Gu family’s patriarch a piece of trash?
“Alright, then help me find out more about the Gu Chuanzong family.” Gu Yundong told them the details.
The few of them immediately nodded and expressed that they wanted to set off without even drinking water.
It was still early, and Gu village was not far from here. It was not too late to ask around.
In the end, it was Ah Mao who brought Ah Shu there. The two of them could take care of each other.
Shao Qingyuan sent them out and gave them a few taels of silver. He said, “Other than asking about the Gu Chuanzong family, ask about the Gu family’s patriarch too.”
He had once heard Gu Yunshu talk about what the Gu family’s patriarch had done to Gu Dajiang. If not for him, Gu Dajiang’s family would have been independent long ago, and Gu Yundong would not have suffered for so many years.
Ah Mao agreed and left with the money with a smile.
The two of them were dressed cleanly and neatly. They drove the mule cart away.
Fortunately, they were already familiar with driving. Otherwise, it would have wasted too much time.
When the mule cart arrived at Gu village, someone saw it immediately.
Ah Shu asked him about the location of his distant relative. This relative was the daughter of his aunt’s family and could be considered his cousin. She was not very close to him and was even a little cold.
Back then, when something happened to Ah Shu’s family, he went to look for her aunt and asked her to lend some money. At that time, it was this cousin who came out and arrogantly said that her family did not have money, humiliating him fiercely.
Ah Shu felt that although he had yet to make a name for himself, he could still use his clothes to intimidate others.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the mule cart entered the village, it almost bumped into someone..
