The deaf old lady remembered the two men's very obvious features and went back to Courtyard No. 95 with a gloomy face.
She would not let the two of them go, but she could only endure it for now and ask others to help. It was impossible for her to personally swing her crutches and fight with others.
The deaf old lady prayed that the missing things in the jar were taken away by those two people, otherwise it would be difficult to find them back, after all, there was no target.
What she was most worried about was that some big shot involved would get something and lose his scruples, and might take revenge on her.
Or if those letters were to be exposed and she were to be blamed, even more people would come to deal with her.
The deaf old lady's mind raced, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. She stopped and touched a letter tucked inside her clothes.
This letter was the one I took away from the old house last time. I was originally planning to use the information in this letter to find someone to deal with Cao Anping.
Her resentment towards Cao Anping had never subsided, so she was just waiting for the limelight to pass so that she could quietly strike a fatal blow from behind.
But now, we can only use this information to deal with those two hateful thieves and recover the lost things.
As for using one intelligence agent to do multiple things, or wanting to take advantage of the other party for the rest of their lives, that is courting death. Only by knowing the limits can one survive in the cracks.
The deaf old lady made up her mind and headed in another direction.
When she arrived at the gate of a courtyard in Maoer Hutong, she found two young men who looked like street urchins guarding the gate.
The other party also noticed that the deaf old lady was looking at them, and one of the men with a pointed face and monkey cheeks cursed angrily:
"What are you looking at, old woman? Go away and don't get in the way here."
The deaf old lady tapped her cane vigorously and replied with a contemptuous tone:
"How come Ma Zi accepted such tactless subordinates like you? You are so petty.
Do you really think that you can pretend to be a wealthy family just because you have someone guarding the door?
You are really imitating others. Take me to see Ma Zi. You have delayed things. Let me see how Ma Zi will deal with you."
Upon hearing this, the man with a pointed chin and monkey face rolled up his sleeves angrily and was about to scare people and beat them in the street. But they really didn't dare to do so. This was the old city, and if they were not careful they would be caught and forced to break stones.
Seeing that he couldn't scare anyone, another man stopped him and asked, "Old man, what's your name? I'll go ask Mr. Ma."
The deaf old lady said disdainfully: "What are you asking? Take me there now. Why are you pretending to be so high and mighty? If you don't go, I'll leave."
The two men were embarrassed and could only bring the deaf old lady into the yard. They were really afraid of causing trouble.
The yard is not big, but deliberately suppressed shouts can be heard from every room, and it is obvious that people are gambling inside.
The deaf old lady was brought to the door of the main hall and saw a man with pockmarked face drinking tea comfortably.
She didn't wait for the young man who brought her in to announce it, she walked in directly and said preemptively:
"Pockmarked, you are quite courageous now, daring to set up a gambling game in Maoer Hutong. This is a new era, aren't you afraid of being dragged out for target practice?"
The young man who led the way hurriedly followed and explained, "Master Ma, this old woman said she had something important to talk to you about and threatened people, so I brought her in. I didn't expect that she would disobey the rules."
Ma Zi put down his teacup leisurely, waved his hand to send the man away, and then said with a smile: "Hey, what brings Third Aunt here?"
The deaf old lady was too lazy to talk. She walked to the tea table and sat down. She took out the letter and threw it to Ma Zi.
Ma Zi opened the envelope with curiosity, but after reading half of it, a look of fear appeared on his calm face.
He glanced at the deaf old lady out of the corner of his eye, a hint of murderousness flashed in his eyes, but when he saw the final signature and seal, he could only suppress the urge to kill her to silence her.
The deaf old lady probably understood the other person's feelings and said straight to the point:
"You know a little about my previous identity. There are still many such letters. If something happens to me, many important people will also be in trouble. When they know that the source is you, they will have no chance of gaining a foothold in the Forty-Nine City."
Ma Zi paused, then said calmly: "Then tell me what happened, but don't talk about anything too dangerous or about the enemy party. I don't want to die yet."
The deaf old lady smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's just a small matter. I won't bother you often. I don't dare to use these things casually, otherwise it will provoke some people's nerves."
Seeing the other party nod, the deaf old lady continued: "Please help me find two people, one of them is tall and strong, and the other is short like a dwarf, and it is obvious that they are not serious people.
They stole some letters and some gold from me, help me find them.”
Ma Zi thought for a moment and replied, "Aren't they the two brothers, Da Qiang and Xiao Qiang?
Could the lost letter be the same as this one?
As for the gold, aren't you afraid that I will take it for myself after I find it?"
The deaf old lady sneered, “It’s not like I lost all these letters, otherwise what would you have in your hand.
If you want, I can give you a few more, but I don’t know if you can hold them.
I am a peaceful old woman who usually doesn't go out, so naturally, others would not take the risk of provoking me to fight to the death.
But if it falls into your hands, others will not be at ease, and they may stare at you every day, or even kill you."
A look of embarrassment flashed across Ma Zi's face, but he was not stupid. Some things could not be stuck.
With his status, getting those things does feel like a death warrant, because others will definitely not trust him.
Ma Zi nodded and agreed, "Okay! I know those two people, and I'll get it done as soon as possible, but I want half of the gold that's taken back."
If he hadn't still been holding the envelope in his hand, he wouldn't have asked for only half.
The deaf old lady said indifferently: "It's up to you. You have to be careful. Otherwise, if the news gets out, you will be in trouble when the time comes for settlement."
She turned to leave with her cane, then suddenly thought of something and said, "I think your casino is doing well. There's a guy named Jia Dongxu in Yard 95 who has no self-control. You can let him come and play."
Only after Ma Zi nodded in understanding did she turn and leave.
Yi Zhonghai has been paying less and less attention to Sha Zhu, and his mind is focused on his apprentice, so she decided to help Sha Zhu.
As for Cao Anping, the deaf old lady wanted to deal with him the most, but she knew that this letter could not accomplish so many things, and Ma Zi was not a fool.
Given Cao Anping's status, it would be risky to deal with him. Originally, he planned to write this letter, plus some promises, to have a 50% chance of getting Ma Zi to agree.
Now, the most important thing is to find the lost letter, otherwise the good days will be over and we will not be able to take revenge on Cao Anping.
