The boss also walked in at this time.
He directly pulled out the silver coin left by Tan Tai Si from his pocket and held it in front of him: "Where is the owner of this silver coin?"
When the shopkeeper saw the silver in his hand, his eyes suddenly widened.
Isn't this the silver coin that Zhuzi took away?
How did it fall into the hands of these people?
Is there something wrong with the pillar? !
"I'm asking you a question, are you deaf?"
Seeing the shopkeeper stunned, one of the big men immediately raised his sword and pointed it at him.
The shopkeeper shuddered and said hurriedly, "He, he, he left the shop after buying clothes yesterday. I, I, I, I don't know where he went!"
The eldest master held the silver ingot in his hand, squinting his eyes as he studied the pattern on the bottom. He said in a deep voice, "Do you still remember what that person looked like?"
"Beautiful!" the shopkeeper blurted out, "They're both very beautiful, like perfect couples who walked out of a painting!"
The boss frowned, and the scar that stretched from the corner of his eye to his chin looked particularly hideous.
"Two people? Both from Miaojiang?"
The shopkeeper waved his hand hurriedly to explain: "No, no, no, the man came dressed like a Miao people, but the woman is from the Central Plains."
"Do you know what the relationship between the two of them is?"
"The man seems to be calling the woman sister!"
After knowing the general information, the boss grabbed the silver in his palm and gave orders to the younger brother behind him.
"Go find a famous painter and ask him to draw the appearance of those two people."
"The rest of you, go search all the inns in this town. Even if you have to dig three feet underground, you must find the owner of the silver!"
"yes!"
After the younger brothers agreed, they ran out with their swords in hand, splitting into two groups to carry out the boss's orders.
After everyone left, only the leader of Qingyun Village and the shopkeeper were left in the shop.
Looking at the scars on his face and the long knife hanging at his waist, the shopkeeper shrank his neck and didn't even dare to breathe.
The boss looked around the shop, then looked at the shopkeeper who was sitting timidly in front of the counter.
"What else did they do besides buying clothes from you? Do you know their identities and whereabouts?"
The shopkeeper shook his head violently: "No, I don't know! This is the first time they came to my shop to buy clothes. Apart from knowing which clothes they bought, I don't know anything else!"
Seeing that the boss had ill intentions, the shopkeeper hurriedly distanced himself from Tan Tai Si and Jiang Jingyu.
The eldest boss stared at the shopkeeper for a moment, then snorted coldly, "I bet you wouldn't dare lie! Wait until the painter arrives and describe the two men's appearances. If you dare to hide anything, I'll kill you!"
"Yes, yes, I won't hide anything!"
After the boss gave the warning with a sinister look on his face, he turned and walked out of the shop. After watching him leave the shop with his own eyes, the shopkeeper wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with trepidation.
What bad luck did he have in his life to have provoked this group of people!
The shopkeeper had just wiped the sweat off his face when a familiar figure ran in.
"Shopkeeper, have the boss and his men come yet?"
Later, Zhuzi rushed back and ran to the shopkeeper despite his exhaustion, not even having time to breathe!
The shopkeeper looked him up and down hurriedly: "Zhu Zi, are you okay? How did the silver fall into the hands of those people? Where did you get it from?"
The shopkeeper asked three questions in a row, thinking that Zhuzi had been robbed by thieves and the silver ingot was stolen.
"Shopkeeper, have the boss and his men come to the shop?"
Zhuzi simply ignored the shopkeeper's question and repeated what he had just said.
"Big boss?"
The shopkeeper was stunned. Thinking of the appearance of the group just now, his eyes widened in disbelief: "You know that group of people?"
Zhuzi nodded and said, "I came back from Qinglong Village with them last night, but I got left behind on the way. Shopkeeper, have the boss and his men come to the shop?"
"Oh my, you're such a jerk, Wang Erzhu! I've always treated you so well, but I never thought you'd turn your back on me by bringing robbers to the shop to cause trouble!"
The shopkeeper came out from behind the counter in a rage and grabbed Zhuzi's ear without saying a word!
"Shopkeeper, it hurts, it hurts, let go, let go quickly!"
Zhuzi was throbbing with pain and quickly pried the shopkeeper's hands apart.
The shopkeeper looked at Zhuzi with a cold face: "Tell me, how did you get involved with those robbers? Tell me, you were just a commoner, so how could you get involved with those people?"
"Boss, you misunderstood. I didn't collude with them. I just took the boss's money to help him find out something!"
Zhuzi covered his ears which had been pulled red, and hurriedly shook his head to explain, fearing that the shopkeeper would misunderstand and kick him out of the shop.
The shopkeeper looked at him doubtfully: "Really?"
Zhuzi quickly held up three fingers and said, "Absolutely true!"
The shopkeeper believed it for the time being and asked, "What did you agree to find out for him?"
"Looking for the owner of that silver ingot!"
Zhuzi explained without hesitation, and then he was slapped on the head.
"You, you, you are deliberately trying to hurt me!"
Zhuzi looked at the shopkeeper in confusion, and then he heard the shopkeeper's lion-like roar.
"That group of people just now were ferocious and vicious. It's obvious they have a grudge against that young Miao boy. You used the money they paid me to claim credit for me to his enemy. If he knew the truth, wouldn't he come back and kill me?!"
After hearing this, Zhuzi didn't dare to say a word. He really didn't expect this!
If he harmed the shopkeeper who had done him a favor because of his unintentional mistake, then he would be guilty of a thousand deaths!
Zhuzi swallowed his saliva, and instantly lost his mind: "Boss, Boss, what should we do now?"
The shopkeeper pursed his lips and was about to speak when a bandit walked in dragging a handsome man.
"Go! Draw the appearance of those two people. If your drawing is not good enough, I will kill you!"
The bandit said as he pushed the man hard, and then another bandit came in carrying a bamboo basket and threw the basket in front of the man.
And what was contained in the bamboo basket was the brush, ink, paper and inkstone used for painting.
"Two big brothers, you are here."
Zhuzi hurried forward and looked at the two bandits with a flattering expression.
The two bandits knew that it was Zhuzi who informed their boss, so they treated him fairly friendly.
"Go get a table for him to paint on!"
"yes!"
Zhuzi didn't dare to delay and quickly moved a table in front of the painter.
"You, come over here and describe the appearance of those two people to him!"
One of the bandits pointed at the shopkeeper, then stood behind the painter with a knife in his hand, intending to watch him paint with his own eyes.
The shopkeeper came to the painter tremblingly, and under the watchful eyes of the two bandits, began to describe the appearance of Tan Tai Si and Jiang Jingyu to the painter.
Although the shopkeeper could not refuse, he was still cautious when describing the person. When the painter drew the portrait according to his description, the two bandits frowned and looked at him.
"Are you sure those two look like this?"
