Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

Chapter 176 Gutongmen buys information

Gu Yan accomplished the purpose of coming to Manjiang Tower and prepared to leave leisurely.

Shopkeeper Zhu cordially escorted him downstairs and repeatedly said, "Brother Gu, please help us say good things about us in front of your friends!

You know what kind of person I am. If you cooperate with us, Manjianglou, we will show our utmost sincerity.

Selling this wine in our restaurant will definitely not bring disgrace to your friend."

Gu Yan just nodded slightly and didn't rush to express his opinion.

He was just delivering a message for a "friend", how could he help others make a decision?

However, Qingqing will definitely be very happy then. After all, the wine costs 3 guan per pound.

This matter has been dealt with. In addition to delivering the snacks, he also has another important purpose for coming today.

He has been feeling uneasy about what happened yesterday.

Just now, when he was talking with Manager Zhao and Shopkeeper Zhu, he mentioned news related to the delivery in both explicit and implicit ways, and indeed obtained some key information from them.

He wondered at that time, who else knew about his cooperation with these two?

Who is the one who is obstructing this?

However, he was also cautious and did not mention the robbery he encountered on the way.

After finding out the truth, we will decide whether to inform them depending on the circumstances.

At this time, Shopkeeper Zhu stood at the door of the restaurant to see Gu Yan off, and Gu Yan immediately rode away on his donkey.

At this moment, a carriage happened to stop at the door. The curtain was opened, and a handsome and elegant young man and a middle-aged man in his thirties wearing a dark gown walked out of the carriage.

When the young man got off the car, he happened to catch a glimpse of Gu Yan's receding figure out of the corner of his eye.

It was originally just a casual glance, but when he saw the familiar figure from behind, he suddenly turned his head sideways and froze in place with surprise. He couldn't help but rub his eyes to confirm again, was this really that person?

He took a few quick steps forward, trying to see it more clearly, but unfortunately Gu Yan had already ridden away on his donkey.

Even the last bit of his back could no longer be seen.

"Brother Cheng, what's wrong?" Shi Jinyu had just got off the carriage when he saw his nephew staring blankly into the distance.

Song Yicheng then turned his gaze away, shook his head and said, "It's okay, uncle, let's go in."

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Shi Jinyu tactfully didn't ask any more questions.

This nephew has been out there for many years, and his mind has become increasingly unpredictable.

He only hoped that this time he could live up to his elder sister's trust and bring him back safely.

But looking at the current situation, it seems not optimistic!

After all, he has been here for dozens of days, and today is the first time he has seen his nephew.

After leaving Manjiang Tower, Gu Yan turned directly into a small alley and found the place where Gutongmen was selling information.

He didn't want to spend too much time to find out someone's whereabouts. If he wanted to buy information, as long as he could afford the price, he could just find Gu Tongmen.

Based on the fight that day, Gu Yan judged that those people should be habitual criminals who often roamed the city.

It shouldn't be difficult to find these people. Just find the leader first, and then he will know what to do.

"Knock knock - knock knock knock..." Two short and three long secret code sounds were heard, indicating that someone wanted to buy information.

Soon, a man's voice came from the small window: "What do you want to buy?"

Gu Yan handed over a portrait and said, "I want information about this person."

The person written on the paper was the leader of yesterday’s robbery!

If Gu Qingzhi were here, he would probably sigh at how lifelike this portrait is!

After all, Gu Yan’s attainments in painting are not low, he is just not immersed in it, but in fact, his talent is not much worse than Gu Qingzhi.

For Gu Yan, the skill of painting is enough as long as it is sufficient.

Last night, when he was flipping through the basket weaving patterns drawn by Gu Qingzhi in his study, he took the opportunity to draw the portraits of those people. He was determined to find out who they were and their purpose in intercepting him, otherwise he would always feel uneasy.

After all, although he is skilled in martial arts, he is not afraid.

But there are still female members in the family, especially Qingqing and Second Aunt. They have to go to the county town from time to time. If we don’t find out the purpose of those people, I’m afraid they will never be able to sleep or eat well from now on!

Not long after, another voice came from the window: "Twenty cents."

Gu Yan took out twenty cents from his purse and handed it over.

Only twenty cents...

Gu Yan suddenly understood something in his mind, that it shouldn't be difficult to get information about this person.

The pricing of Gutongmen news is also different.

The rarer the news, the higher the price.

Soon, the portrait was returned.

At the same time, a thin piece of paper was also handed out.

Gu Yan quickly reached out to take it, and at this moment, the window closed immediately.

He didn't have time to think about it and hurriedly lowered his head to browse the information on the paper.

It turned out that this man's name was Du San. He was just a small-time street thug, but he often collected protection fees in the market and enjoyed bullying good people.

It sounds like there is nothing special about it. The only thing worth noting is that he has a cousin-in-law who works as a bailiff in the county government.

Gu Yan couldn't help but be surprised. Just relying on his cousin-in-law who was a yamen runner, Du San dared to collect protection fees so arrogantly in the market?

Aren't there other connections involved?

However, since the information was provided by Gutongmen, it must be true and reliable.

He was still willing to believe in the authority of Gutongmen.

Otherwise, the person behind the scenes is hiding so deeply that it is difficult to detect.

At the bottom of the paper, Du San's residence was also recorded in detail.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Yan decided to go to that place in person.

We have to find this Du San and pry open his mouth.

However, what he didn't expect was that by the time he arrived, he was already a step too late.

After receiving the news just now, he found a few beggars nearby to find out where Du San was now.

Not long after, the little beggars brought back some news, but the news was not very good.

It turned out that someone saw Du San leaving the city early in the morning to visit relatives in the state capital, and it was said that he was carrying an extremely large bag with him.

Upon hearing the news, Gu Yan was silent for a moment, thinking about something.

After thinking for a while, he took out a few more portraits from his arms.

These portraits are exactly what the people looked like yesterday.

Last night, just in case, Gu Yan specially described their appearances one by one.

Unexpectedly, these portraits actually came in handy at this moment.

He unfolded the portrait, looked at the people in front of him, and asked, "Do you know these people in the portrait?"
