Blind Ghostwriter: Starts with the full level of Nine Yang Magic Skill

Chapter 64 Chen San, Xiao Wu

"It's basically impossible to find anything at the post station," Zhuo Qingfeng said. "The Qingyang County Six Gates and Fang County Government Office have already searched there countless times. If there were any clues, they would have found them long ago."

Gu Mo nodded and said, "Let's stick to our original plan and check for any horses or carriages that passed through that road that night!"

Zhuo Qingfeng said, "Qu Heng and the others were captured in a place called Jiuhua Mountain. There's only one official road from there to the post station, and this road also goes directly to Fang County. It's also the only official road, so it's not difficult to investigate."

Gu Mo said, "Let's go find the Chen San that Yan Sanniang mentioned!"

Zhuo Qingfeng frowned and said, "Actually, it would be more convenient to go directly to the government office. That Chen San is an old pickpocket, a low-class person. Dealing with such a person is likely to cause trouble."

Gu Mo smiled and said, "Captain Zhuo, you are the captain of the Six Gates of Linjiang County. Now you have secretly come to Qingyang County without an official letter. If you go to the government office, aren't you asking for trouble? If you are impeached, it will be troublesome!"

Zhuo Qingfeng smiled awkwardly and said, "Okay, then let's go find Chen San!"

Fang County is a relatively prosperous county town. On the long street, there are heavy traffic and people coming and going. There are shops lining the street, the signs of taverns fluttering in the wind, and the shouts of waiters rising and falling, attracting passers-by.

However, Zhuo Qingfeng and his companions did not stay on the street. Instead, they found out about a residential area called Ji'an Lane and headed straight there.

Ji'an Lane is where Chen San lived in seclusion.

Soon, they arrived outside an old house.

Zhuo Qingfeng went to knock on the door. After a while, a hunched, wrinkled, white-haired old man opened the door and asked in a hoarse voice, "Who are you looking for?"

Zhuo Qingfeng asked, "Let's look for Chen San."

"You've come to the wrong place. There's no one called Chen San here?" the old man asked doubtfully.

However, Zhuo Qingfeng stared at the old man in front of him and said calmly: "You are not honest. The hunchback is fake, the white hair is fake, and the voice is also deliberately disguised. Well, you should have a knife on you. I can't find where you hid it. You are indeed worthy of being the ancestor of pickpockets in Qingyang County. You have something!"

The old man's pupils shrank slightly, and he whispered, "Sir, I've been clean for ten years. Even if the court investigates corruption, they won't reopen cases from ten years ago. Why are you chasing me? What do you want?"

Zhuo Qingfeng asked in confusion: "How do you know I'm a government official?"

"Sir," the old man said, "I can sense your Six Gates Constable aura even through the wall. Sir, I swear, I've been very quiet these past few years. If you've brought any cases to me, you're definitely looking in the wrong direction."

Zhuo Qingfeng said: "I'm not investigating the case, I'm looking for your help."

At this time, Gu Mo walked forward and took out Yan Sanniang's Buddhist beads.

The old man was slightly startled when he saw the Buddhist beads. He looked Gu Mo up and down and said, "Are you Yan Yatou's man?"

"Friend." Gu Mo said: "My name is Gu Mo, this is my sister. As for this person... it's not convenient to say, please bear with me."

The old man waved his hand and said, "This official is extraordinary, upright, and has great authority. It's best not to tell me about his name. If I knew his name, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stand firm. Since you are Yan's friends, you should know what I do. In our line of work, we are most afraid of officials, just like mice seeing a cat."

Zhuo Qingfeng smiled and said, "If that's the analogy, then you, Chen San, are the Rat King, but you are different from ordinary rats." Chen San smiled slightly and invited the three people into the yard.

After entering the house, Chen San asked the three of them to sit down, then turned around and shouted into the house: "Xiao Wu, our distinguished guests are here, make some tea!"

"okay."

After a while, a young man about twenty years old came out with a pot of tea and several teacups. With a gentle smile on his face, he put down the tea table and started pouring tea.

However, at this moment, Chen San suddenly said: "Xiao Wu, if you still want those hands, put away your little tricks in front of these three." Chen San pointed at Gu Chudong and said: "Especially this one, she is a girl. If you dare to touch her with your dirty hands, no one will be able to protect your hands!"

Xiao Wu smiled awkwardly, bent down, and said humbly, "Master, I haven't asked these people yet, are they?"

Chen San rolled his eyes and suddenly slapped the young man named Xiao Wu. When he took his hand back, he had two more things in his hand, a jade pendant and a Buddhist rosary.

Chen San handed the jade pendant to Zhuo Qingfeng and the Buddhist beads to Gu Mo, saying, "I'm sorry, this kid is one of my apprentices. He's been sneaking around since he was young, and he's used to it. He broke some taboos, so I caught him and taught him a lesson. He hasn't been able to completely change those little tricks yet. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please forgive me."

Zhuo Qingfeng looked at the jade pendant that Chen San handed over, sized up Xiao Wu with some surprise, and said, "Not bad! At such a young age, he was able to steal things from the two of us without anyone noticing. He's worthy of being called the descendant of a master thief. Chen San, how much of your teachings did this kid inherit?"

"About 70% to 80%." Chen San said.

Zhuo Qingfeng was surprised and said, "If you can reach this level with only 7 or 8 points, how high must your level be?"

Gu Mo took back the Buddhist beads and was also a little curious.

I have to say that this guy named Xiao Wu is really good. He didn't even notice that his jade pendant had been stolen.

Chen San said, "Simply speaking, this guy is no weaker than me in terms of skill. What he lacks is his eyesight. His eyes are not bright enough to see what can be stolen and who to stay away from. That's why I keep him by my side. In our line of work, skill is not as important as eyesight.

For example, just now, this kid has no sense of propriety and doesn't know how to live or die. He even dared to steal your things. If he were left outside, he wouldn't survive for a few days."

Xiao Wu stood aside and smiled.

Chen San introduced Zhuo Qingfeng to Xiao Wu first, saying, "This is the official. He has such authority that he can crush you to death. If this official didn't bother with you, you wouldn't have this opportunity."

The smile on Xiao Wu's face froze.

Afterwards, Chen San introduced Gu Mo and said, "This is Linjiang's ghostwriter, the great hero Gu Mo. He wouldn't bother with a junior like you, but," Chen San introduced Gu Chudong and said, "This is the great hero Gu's sister. If you had bumped into Miss Gu just now, you wouldn't have been able to save your hands. No one could have saved them."

Xiao Wu had cold sweat on his forehead. He stood aside obediently, not daring to speak.

At this time, Chen Sancai picked up the teacup and took a sip, then asked, "What do you want from me?"

"Check something!"
