Chu Huan understood: "This girl from Jinlingque is kind-hearted."

"Everyone is grateful to her in their hearts. In the past few years with her, everyone has no worries about food and clothing, and it is also a gift from the girl." Ding Miao said softly.

Chu Huan smiled and said, "Deputy leader Zhou was originally a martial artist from the Wu Family Squad just like you?"

"Exactly." Ding Miao said: "There are still five or six martial artists left in Wu's class. Up to Ruomao's leader, they are the people around the girl." Ding Miao explained: "The girl went from the capital to Jinling. They brought some people, and Team Leader Mao was one of them."

It was only then that Chu Huan realized that, to be honest, Team Leader Mao was the direct descendant of Jinlingque, and Deputy Team Leader Zhou and others were latecomers in the Peacock Terrace.

"The two girls beside Jinlingque were also brought from the capital?" Chu Huan asked in a low voice.

Ding Miao lowered her voice and said: "One of them has been with the girl all the time, but the other came here a year ago... The later maid is called Xiao Lian, who was taken in by the girl later."

"Accommodation?"

Ding Miao said: "Yes, but we don't know exactly what happened. Once the girl went out and brought her back when she came back. No one has seen her before. The girl treats her very well and named her Xiao Lian, keep it with you all the time...!" Shaking his head, he smiled wryly and said, "Little Lian is really pitiful, until now everyone doesn't know her origin, I'm afraid the girl doesn't know either."

Chu Huan wondered: "Why is this? Since they have followed Jinlingque for more than a year, how could Jinlingque not know Xiaolian's origin?"

Ding Miao said: "I'm just guessing, because Xiao Lian... Hey, he's dumb, can't speak, as far as I know, he can't read, so even if the girl asks, Xiao Lian can't tell. There is no way, Xiao Lian If I hadn't met the girl, I'm afraid I would have died long ago, and now being able to follow the girl is considered good luck...!"

"Mute?" Chu Huan was a little surprised, but at this moment, he saw Zhou Xiong coming over with a small jug of wine and a small bamboo basket, and said, "Hero Bamboo, I've been driving all day and I haven't eaten well. Come, there are wine and food, although they are not good things, but they can always fill your stomach." He spoke very politely, and seemed to be in awe of Chu Huan, and without waiting for Chu Huan to say more, he entered the Chu Huan In the Huan tent, he put down the wine jar, and even took out the food in the basket himself.

A bowl of roasted meat, a bowl of tofu, and a bowl of green vegetables, in this wilderness, steaming hot, it is really rare, Ding Miao has already got up to leave, Chu Huan entered the tent, said with a smile: "Deputy leader Zhou is really You're welcome."

Zhou Xiong smiled and said: "Hero Zhu, don't say that again, you are our benefactor, and there is only this that I can do for you."

"Thank you." After Chu Huan sat down, Zhou Xiong didn't seem to want to leave. Chu Huan smiled naturally: "Deputy leader Zhou didn't eat, did he? Why don't we have a drink together?"

"Hero Zhu, don't mention it to the deputy team leader this week. If you really think highly of me, call me brother Zhou, I will be grateful." Zhou Xiong said solemnly.

Chu Huan said "oh", just smiled, but didn't speak.

"Hero Bamboo, do you believe it's like old friends at first sight?"

"It was like old friends at first sight?" Chu Huan said with a smile, "Zhou...why did Brother Zhou ask you that? Could it be that we hit it off right away?"

Zhou Xiong clapped his hands and laughed, "Does Hero Bamboo feel the same way? To tell you the truth, when Zhou saw Hero Bamboo, he felt like old friends at first sight. He seemed to have known him for a long time."

Chu Huan had already opened the wine jar, took a sip, and said with a smile: "We are brothers all over the world, and they are all people who travel the rivers and lakes. It's normal to see each other as old friends."

"Hero Zhu, we just met, you may not know me very well." Zhou Xiong said: "Zhou likes to make friends, travels all over the world, and only knows the word 'righteousness'."

Chu Huan said with a smile: "From this point of view, Zhou Xiong is a man of loyalty."

Zhou Xiong sighed: "Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and it takes a long time to see people's hearts... Zhu Daxia just walked with us, so I'm afraid I don't understand many things...!" He listened intently, as if he wanted to hear what was happening outside the tent Seeing this, Chu Huan couldn't help asking softly, "Why is Brother Zhou doing this?"

"Hero Bamboo, to tell you the truth, in the Peacock Terrace, sometimes you have to be careful when speaking." Zhou Xiong smiled wryly, "The walls have ears, so Hero Bamboo naturally understands."

"Walls have ears?" Chu Huan wondered, "Brother Zhou, where did you say that? Could it be that you and I are talking here, and someone will eavesdrop?"

Zhou Xiong hesitated to speak, hesitated for a while, and finally lowered his voice and said: "There are some things that are inconvenient to say to Hero Zhu, but... Hero Zhu is so righteous, if I deceive him, I will appear to be narrow-minded, and... alas , and since Hero Bamboo is following us on the same journey, I have to remind him if I have something to say."

Chu Huan put down the wine jar and said, "Brother Zhou, it's okay to say."

"Hero Bamboo, you... what do you think of Team Leader Mao?" Zhou Xiong pondered for a moment, and finally asked.

Chu Huan said: "You know, I just met Team Leader Mao this morning, and I didn't even say a word. I really don't know much about him... But since he is the team leader of Peacock Terrace, he is naturally very popular with Jinling Que Trust and respect, I see that Team Leader Mao commanded everyone to set up camp just now, they are well-organized, and they seem to be quite talented, and everyone in Peacock Terrace seems to respect this Team Leader Mao very much."

"It's no wonder Bamboo Hero sees it this way." Zhou Xiong smiled wryly, "Mao Renju looks dignified and taciturn, making people feel that he is very calm. Even the girl and Manager Wu trust him a lot...!"

Chu Huan frowned and said, "Brother Zhou's words seem to mean that Team Leader Mao is not as calm as he seems."

Zhou Xiong thought for a while, and then said: "Hero Zhu, you don't know. Ever since we left Weiling Prefecture, I have always felt that something is wrong. We went all the way north, but behind us, did someone follow us on horseback? , They don't come close, they are sneaky, appearing for a while, disappearing for a while...!"

Chu Huan said: "You mean the Peacock Terrace has been targeted?"

"That's true." Zhou Xiong said: "That's all right, if it's just being targeted, there are quite a few of us, and they all come from martial arts. Ordinary little thieves wouldn't dare to get close."

"It's just that what does this have to do with Team Leader Mao?" Chu Huan asked suspiciously.

Zhou Xiong lowered his voice and said: "I also hope that it has nothing to do with it, but...!" After a pause, his body moved slightly closer, and he lowered his voice: "Heroes don't know something, as far as I know, Mao Renju likes to have sex with some people in private. Four people interact with each other, and many of them are bandits who rob houses. Especially recently, he has been in contact with bandits in private, and he deliberately kept them secret. Just before we set off, he had contacts with bandits...!"

Chu Huan frowned and said, "How did Brother Zhou know this?"

Zhou Xiong hesitated for a while, and finally said: "It's hard to say, but since Zhu Daxia asks, I won't hide it. My qualifications, Zhou Xiong, are no worse than Mao Renju, but because he was brought by the girl, he rode on our On the top of his head, he usually doesn't have a good face towards us, everyone is actually holding his breath, and I don't have a good impression of him. But everyone is also a member of Peacock Terrace, and I let him go everywhere, and everything is fine... ...!"

Chu Huan nodded and said, "It's also very good."

"But not long ago, we discovered his secret." Zhou Xiong said with a sneer, "Mao Renju used to be very good at gambling. We didn't know it before, but not long ago, we found that people from gambling houses came to him from time to time, so we observed Mao Renju secretly. I owe a lot of silver in the gambling house...the amount is really not small...!"

Chu Huan stroked his chin and asked, "So what? It doesn't make sense that there is something wrong with Team Leader Mao."

"Hero Zhu is right." Zhou Xiong said: "But the strange thing is that just a few days before our departure, we found out that the gambling debts Mao Renju owed were all paid off, and what was given out was cash. , It’s not about winning money at the casino to pay off debts...that’s several hundred taels of silver, and we all know Mao Renju’s monthly money, it’s impossible for him to repay his debts.”

Chu Huan frowned and said, "Are you suspecting that the source of the money is unknown?"

"Does Bamboo Hero think that Mao Renju can do tricks and make money?" Zhou Xiong sneered, "It happened to be that time, Mao Renju was very close to the bandits and had frequent contacts, so...!" He didn't continue. go down.

Chu Huan seemed to understand, "So Brother Zhou thinks that the ones following behind are probably bandits, and they have something to do with Team Leader Mao?"

Zhou Xiong lowered his voice and said: "Hero Bamboo doesn't know something. Over the years, the girl has earned a lot of money, and the carriage in the girl's carriage is full of rare treasures. There are several big boxes. You also saw just now that those boxes were moved into the girl's tent, which shows that the girl attaches great importance to the money. Mao Renju naturally knows this clearly. He was at the end of his life not long ago, so maybe he didn't have the idea of ​​hitting on the girl...! "

Chu Huan said softly: "Brother Zhou, I already understand what you said. You mean that Team Leader Mao owed a huge debt because of gambling and was unable to repay it, so he secretly colluded with the bandits and wanted to beat Jinling sparrow The idea, and the money he paid off his gambling debts was obtained from the bandits in advance...!"

"Bamboo Hero is indeed wise." Zhou Xiong gave a thumbs up, "This is my guess, and it is the most likely."

Chu Huan frowned and said, "If this is the case, then the situation will be troublesome. That's right, Brother Zhou, can you tell Director Wu or Jinlingque about this?"

Zhou Xiong said in a low voice: "There is no direct evidence, and Mao Renju was brought from the capital by the girl. Even if I tell the girl, she will not believe it. Instead, she will think that I, Zhou Xiong, are sowing discord...!" He shook his head with a wry smile.

Chu Huan said: "Then Manager Wu doesn't know?"

"I didn't say it directly, but I also revealed this meaning to Director Wu." Zhou Xiong said in a low voice: "Director Wu is a smart person. He should understand what I mean, but he doesn't believe what I said. Mao Renju is right. Others are not very good, but they are very respectful to Mr. Wu, and Mr. Wu has always been grateful to the girl, and he has been diligently taking care of the affairs of the Peacock Terrace for the girl, so as not to let the girl worry about trivial matters. He has always hoped that the peacock stage will be harmonious , don’t start a dispute, so...!" Sighed: "In the end, I can't come up with any real evidence, but if Mao Renju really wants to do this kind of thing, how can I get hold of it?"

Chu Huan stared at Zhou Xiong and asked, "Brother Zhou told me this secret, what do you want me to do?"
