When Pan Hongfu heard that Zhao Xu and Li Qingqing were the bosses of Zhang Mingzhi and his wife, he politely invited them into the house.

The small fire in the countryside exudes a steaming warmth. Coupled with the enthusiasm of the rural people, Zhao Xu and his wife and Pan Hongfu's family quickly became familiar with each other.

They have only seen elegant and beautiful beauties like Li Qingqing on TV.

"Village chief, how are Zhang Mingzhi and his wife like?" Zhao Xu asked.

Pan Hongfu took out a pipe pot from his body and said with a grin: "Boss Zhao, I'm telling you the truth. That Zhang Mingzhi and Yin Cui moved to our Niutou Village later. However, this couple is a simple man and has a close relationship with his family."

The neighbors get along well with each other. Other than that

In addition, Zhang Da has been excellent in both character and study since he was a child, and he is a good candidate for school. Our village has never produced an outstanding college student. Zhang Da was admitted to the university in Lincheng with the first place in Hua City, but

Let’s fight for our Niutou Village.”

"Madam boss, do you mind if I smoke a cigarette?" Pan Hongfu looked at Li Qingqing.

Li Qingqing smiled sweetly and said, "I don't mind! This is Village Chief Pan's home. Naturally, guests can do whatever they want."

Pan Hongfu smiled honestly and said: "I have been addicted to smoking for decades and I can't quit it!" As he said that, he rubbed a match and lit the pot.

Bajibaji took a few puffs, looking very satisfied.

Zhao Xu nodded and asked: "Village Chief Pan, do you know where they moved to Niutou Village?"

"Conghua City! I heard that the couple used to do business! Later, they closed the business. They bought a three-room tile-roofed house in our village and contracted a lot of land from the village. The couple was very committed to their work.

have to!"

Pan Hongfu's wrinkled brows were squeezed together. He looked at Zhao Xu and asked, "What's wrong, Boss Zhao? Those two are working in your company. Is there something wrong?"

"That's not true!" Zhao Xu smiled and said, "They just joined my company, and I just came to understand their situation."

"Village Chief Pan, do you know where his family lived before?"

"It seems that they live in a place called Jinyinling outside Huashixiao. Their family has moved there many years ago. The old families there should know their past situation. By the way, a few days ago, a cripple came to visit.

We passed Zhang Mingzhi and his wife. The lame man was seriously injured. I thought he looked like a wanted criminal, so I didn’t tell him where Zhang Mingzhi and his wife were."

"Cripple?" Zhao Xu frowned.

Pan Hongfu nodded and said, "Yes! The cripple has disheveled hair and looks like a beggar. He is wearing a very ragged single coat. It's so cold that he might freeze to death outside."

"What does he look like?" Zhao Xu asked.

"He looks unshaven and desolate. I can't describe him specifically."

Zhao Xu and Li Qingqing looked at each other.

Unexpectedly, someone would come to Zhang Mingzhi and his wife one step ahead of them.

It stands to reason that Zhang Mingzhi and his wife now live in Lincheng.

If anyone knew the details of the couple, they would definitely go to Lincheng to look for them. How could they find "Niutou Village!", a remote place like this?

Apparently, this person didn't know that Zhang Da was admitted to Lincheng University and that Zhang Mingzhi and his wife went to Lincheng to study with him.

"Village Chief, do you know that the child of Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Mingzhi is not their biological child?"

"I know! This is no secret in our Niutou Village. The village also conducts regular censuses. But these days, whether it is a biological child or an adopted child, as long as he is filial, he is a good child. Zhang Dan's child is not only filial, but

, his mind is still bright. It’s just that the learning conditions here are too poor, otherwise that child would definitely be able to get into a better university!"

"What's the financial situation of Zhang Mingzhi and his wife?" Li Qingqing suddenly asked.

Pan Hongfu shook his head and said: "I don't know about this! Anyway, in our Niutou Village, this couple never shows off. According to me, they just lost money in business before. Otherwise, how could they come from the city?

Move to our Niutou Village?"

Zhao Xu got some basic information from Pan Hongfu, but it was not the information he really wanted.

It seems that we have to go to Hua City's "Jinyinling" to understand the situation.

The only bright spot in the message was the "lame man!" as Pan Hongfu said.

Who is this cripple with unshaven beard?

Why did he come to see Zhang Mingzhi and his wife?

If he is a bad person, if he learns that Zhang Mingzhi and his wife are in Lincheng, will it be detrimental to them?

Zhao Xu was worried.

After talking to the village chief Pan Hongfu, he declined his offer to stay and drove Li Qingqing back to Huashi.

The two first found a hotel with relatively good conditions in Huashi and stayed there.

Prepare to leave for "Jinyinling" tomorrow.

After checking in, it was already dark around 4pm.

In winter in the north, darkness comes earlier.

The weather outside is cold, and not many people are walking around on the streets. However, some hot pot restaurants and barbecue restaurants are doing pretty good business.

On such a cold day, it would be nice to have a hot pot meal.

On the way back, Li Qingqing told Zhao Xu that she wanted to have hot pot tonight.

Naturally, Zhao Xu happily agreed to his wife Li Qingqing's request.

In the room, Li Qingqing said to Zhao Xu: "Zhao Xu, what did the village chief say? Before us, a cripple came to see Zhang Mingzhi and his wife?"

"They must be friends of Zhang Mingzhi and his wife!" Zhao Xu replied.

Li Qingqing shook her head and said: "If they were friends, they could have called and inquired a long time ago. Why bother to come to Niutou Village in person? It would be a waste of time. Moreover, it can be judged from the village chief's tone that the lame man

It seems that they don’t understand the current situation of Zhang Mingzhi and his wife. The most important thing is that the village chief said that the cripple was seriously injured."

Li Qingqing's words suddenly captured the key point.

Zhao Xu is a person who knows everything.

He frowned and said to Li Qingqing: "Qingqing, do you mean that the cripple is a martial artist?"

Li Qingqing nodded and said, "It's very possible! If he wasn't a martial artist, how could he have suffered such serious injuries?"

"If Qingqing's guess is correct, then what do people in the martial arts do to Zhang Mingzhi and his wife?"

"I also feel very strange about this. On the way back, I have been thinking about this matter, but I still have no clue. It seems that only by finding the cripple can we know the truth of the matter."

Zhao Xu shook his head and sighed: "The lame man is from Niutou Village a few days ago. He must have left long ago. Where can we find him in the vast sea of ​​people?"

Li Qingqing fell silent.
