At this time, Li Tianchou and Peng Weihua were riding a motorcycle to the easternmost rural area outside the county town. If placed in a big city, the location here is equivalent to the periphery of the urban-rural fringe.

Peng Weihua was very efficient in his work. In just over half an hour, he received reliable news that Zhang Jiming's family was hidden in the rural area on the east end of the suburbs of the county town. The village was called Dongshi Village, which is really an important clue.

Li Tianchou nodded secretly, expecting that the nails buried in Uncle Geng in the county were played, and it was indeed very powerful.

But the news came too easily. Peng Weihua felt something was strange, and Li Tianchou felt a little unsure. But after discussing for a long time, Peng Weihua couldn't tell what was wrong. Moreover, it was normal for Zhang Jiming to hide his family, after all, he was afraid of being threatened or implicated.

In the end, Li Tianchou had the upper hand in his anxious heart and prompted him to convince Peng Weihua. The two decided to take a chance. Anyway, the situation was wrong, so just run away.

Dongshi Village is not far from the county town, only twenty miles away, and it takes more than ten minutes to ride a motorcycle. Because it is close to the provincial highway, the village is quite large and has a large population. From a distance, it looks very large on one side of the residential area. There are at least two or three hundred families. The village has asphalt roads and provincial highways, which shows that the economic conditions are still good.

The two of them rode their motorcycles and took a long circle around the outside of the village. There was no road ahead, and there were a large area of ​​vegetable fields and several small paths. They had to go back along the same route. Peng Weihua found a lively place to park the motorcycle.

When the two looked around, there was a large open space at the entrance of the village against the road, with several shops, a billiard room and a chess and card room. The villagers were very lively, especially the chess and card room was crowded and they couldn't move inside. The owner opened four or five tables in the open space outside. There were more people watching than playing cards, and they were noisy and happy.

Peng Weihua felt relieved. There must be many outsiders in such a large village, so he and Li Tianchou should not seem too eye-catching.

"Get billiards first?" Peng Weihua lit a cigarette and suggested.

Li Tianchou understood what he meant, and it was important to take this opportunity to observe good terrain, so he nodded in agreement.

After asking about the price, the two of them started playing billiards in a fake manner. One shot was drawn, and several flower balls fell into the bag. Peng Weihua praised, "You guys, you can't tell you are an expert. Do you dare to gamble? I'll bet a hundred."

Li Tianchou was anxious, but his face was still smiling, "I have beaten a long time ago, and I haven't touched the pole for a long time. Don't bet."

"Stingy, let's have fun." Peng Weihua shook his head.

But then he had only a long mouth left. Li Tianchou calmly knocked the balls on the table into the ball bag one by one, leaving him with no chance. In other words, Comrade Peng had never touched the cue ball before, and the game was over.

"What does grass mean? No, let's have another round." Peng Weihua's self-confidence was obviously hit hard, so he was naturally very dissatisfied.

Li Tianchou didn't want to fight again. Taking advantage of the opportunity of moving back and forth just now, he had a clear observation of the situation at the entrance of the village. The geographical location was already imprinted in his mind. Even the people around him who were thirty or fifty meters were swept back and forth several times by him, but he did not find any abnormal situation. He was anxious to enter the village at this time.

"That's right, the two little bosses will play two more games. If you play, you will get at least three games and two wins. If you play five games, I will charge one less game." The billiards boss was digging the ball in the table hole while vigorously promoting the business.

"I'm sorry, we'll be in a hurry and come back another day." Li Tianchou took photos of Peng Wulang and refused to leave, and immediately declined.

"My grass, what if I do another plate? I haven't touched it yet." Peng Weihua really started to cheat. Li Tianchou felt regretful. If he had known to give in, he would have asked him to touch it a few more shots. That would be great. Now he has a reason to cheat.

"You two are foreigners, just look at them, are you here to visit relatives?" The billiards boss was still unwilling to give up and almost got involved.

"No, do a small business and see if there is a suitable house in the village to rent one." Peng Weihua was very vigilant, afraid that Li Tianchou would miss it, so he immediately snatched the topic.

"Oh, I asked the right person. There are many houses for rent in our village. I know best. It is close to the county town and it will be convenient for anything. What price do you want to rent?" Unexpectedly, the billiards boss got excited when he heard it, and his face was flushed immediately.

This time, Li Tianchou was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that this master was really looking for trouble, and he was making trouble out of the situation. What are you doing when you make a one-time business?

"It's cheaper, there are two rooms, enough to sleep." Unexpectedly, Peng Weihua climbed along the rod, but instead started talking to the billiards boss with great interest, and ignored Li Tianchou's face at all.

"That's great. If you two are interested, I can take you to see the house immediately and then discuss the price after seeing it."

"Oh, then I'll bother this big brother. Let's go now." Peng Weihua was so excited that he immediately threw away the club in his hand.

Li Tianchou suddenly felt happy when he looked at the rogue master. This old man really had his own way. It would be much more convenient to enter the village like this. Not to mention swagger, it would not arouse gaze or suspicion.

The billiards boss asked someone to help him watch the stands, and then happily opened the road. The three of them entered the village along the main road from the entrance of the village.

"How long do you plan to rent it?"

"At least a year. Although it is a small business, I still hope to work for a longer time." Peng Weihua's lies came out, and his expression was as natural as real.

"Oh, why not take a look at my uncle's house first, it's not far in front of it, two-story building, the house is spacious and spacious, and it's comfortable to live in." The billiards boss was overjoyed and must have introduced his family first.

"After, let's look at the two floors first." Peng Weihua agreed without hesitation, and suddenly touched his head, "By the way, a friend of mine also rented a house here some time ago. I haven't contacted him for a long time. I don't know that I can't live here. The landlord seems to be the last name of Ma."

"The surname is Ma? Although we are not a big family in our village, there are still several families. I don't know what their name is?" The billiards boss's tone was not so enthusiastic, and he was obviously worried that the business he got ran away.

"Haha, I can't remember it for a moment. Let's look at the house first." Peng Weihua immediately called and gave the billiards boss a reassurance.

To be honest, the billiards boss's uncle's house is not very good. It sounds like a two-story building, but it is dilapidated and dirty. There are already many tenants living in, which looks very messy. There are six rooms upstairs and downstairs, and there are still one downstairs that has not been rented out.

Peng Weihua expressed his satisfaction and decided to rent it on the spot, but he didn't even question the price offered by the other party, and he would sign the contract soon.

"What contract should you sign? Pay a deposit and move it in as soon as possible, and we will be able to make a deal." The billiards boss was very happy, but he still hoped to see the cash immediately.

So Peng Weihua touched his pocket from his shirt pocket, then flipped Li Tianchou's pocket inside and out, and finally took out fifty dollars, "Oh, I forgot to bring my wallet in a hurry when I went out. You can take these fifty first, just as the sincerity money. I will move tomorrow morning and pay you half a year's rent in one year. How about it?"

The billiards boss's eyelids immediately drooped, but after thinking for a long time, Peng Weihua's behavior just now didn't seem to be fooling him. Anyway, he would not lose money by lying around and earning fifty yuan. Although he was reluctant, he still took over the money. "I'll say it tomorrow morning."

"You can't run away, don't worry. By the way, I remember that the landlord is Ma Guiren. Please help me point me at the location, so I can find my friend."

"Ma Guiren? He has long been living in our village. He moved to the county town. He found a relative from afar to help him see the house. He seemed to be renting it out. But that person is not particular and anyone dares to rent it. It's too chaotic. I'm not talking about your friend, don't get me wrong." Although the billiards boss believed Peng Weihua's nonsense, he was still worried that the business would be ruined. He buryed others first, and did not run away in person without saying anything. "I'll show you, it's not far from here."

After talking and gestured at the door, the billiards boss was going to the village entrance to work on business, "I'll give you the keys when I move in. What are you doing now?"

"Let's clean up first, move so early tomorrow, and time will be tight."

"After you, there are people in the yard anyway. I'll go ahead and work hard first." The billiards boss left after he said that.

"What should I do next? I have to hurry up." Li Tianchou reminded him.

"It's still about renting a house, the cost is up to fifty." Peng Weihua smiled proudly and felt very good. He showed off his rich experience in front of his apprentice, which made him feel angry about playing billiards.

Li Tianchou did not object. When the two saw the boss go away, they went out one after another.

Following the direction pointed by the billiards boss, the two of them walked a short distance and saw Ma Guiren's house. Judging from the location, this should be the center of the residential area, with nearby paths connected all over the place, and Ma's house was located at the intersection of the two paths.

The area of ​​the house is quite large, and the exterior walls of the small building inside are covered with white tiles, which looks 80% new, which means that the family has good financial conditions. The gate of the yard is closed, and the yard is silent and very quiet.

The two continued walking forward as if nothing had happened, and discussed in a low voice as they walked.

"I feel something is wrong. It's better to go in alone and outside alone." Peng Weihua is an old man and thinks it's not safe to go in together.

Li Tianchou nodded, "Let's go around and see the situation first, I'll go in later."

"You can do it, I'll do it." Peng Weihua disagreed.

"Just rent a house, I can do it, just wait outside." The situation in the courtyard is unclear, anything can happen, and what is most worrying is Sun Guaizi's ambush, so Li Tianchou naturally would not let his master take risks.

After a long dispute, Li Tianchou convinced Peng Weihua and the two broke up on the back wall of the house. Li Tianchou quickly moved to the main entrance of the house. As soon as he approached the iron gate, he immediately attracted the barking of the dog in the courtyard. It turned out that someone was there. He reached out and knocked on the iron gate.
