Seeing that this group of gangsters were completely powerless to fight back, Chen Tian took a step forward and stepped on the chest of the leader.
Hearing the man's painful wail, he asked him, "Say, who sent you here!"
These gangsters were paid to hire themselves, and they usually do nothing. They only dare to do things like sneaking around and bullying the weak. Naturally, they are not hard bones.
Especially since they said it was good, what they were asked to deal with was a poor scholar who had no power to restrain them, but they didn't tell them that there was an evil spirit beside this scholar, so they were beaten for nothing! So now these people hate their employers in their hearts.
There was no need for Chen Tian to force him to ask, they just poured out beans and said everything they knew.
It's just that the man they said came to them was not Li Zixiu, but a gambler named Li Ergou.
In fact, Li Ergou is also from Lijia Village. They are so poor on weekdays that they also find it strange.
And the other party didn't say why they had to clean up Bai Su, they just took money to do things.
Chen Tian and Bai Su were silent for a moment when they heard Li Ergou's name. This man was a bastard from Lijia Village. Bai Su had also heard of it, but hadn't seen it a few times.
It is said that he is a bad gambler, always relying on the gambling house in the town, occasionally doing some odd jobs, and throwing all the money he earns into the gambling house.
It's just that I have no grievances with this person, and it stands to reason that the other party will not find someone to harm me, so there must be someone behind this.
Chen Tian naturally knew who the real person behind the scenes was, but he didn't expect that Li Zixiu would pay attention and find an irrelevant person on purpose. With the help of Li Ergou to trouble them, there is still no reason to leave behind.
It's just that Chen Tian doesn't intend to let this person go. So he escorted the disabled gangsters and asked them to lead the way to Li Ergou.
Li Ergou is also a celebrity in this area. Sure enough, he soon found someone next to a steamed bun stand near the gambling house.
Chen Tian saw at a glance that he was a black and thin man, with ordinary facial features, but there was a bit of shrewdness in his eyes.
Seeing a group of people approaching in a mighty manner, Li Ergou knew something was wrong when he saw the leader, so he immediately stuffed the remaining piece of steamed bun into his mouth and ran away.
But those bastards had just suffered a loss at Chentian's place, and they were trying to settle accounts with him, how could they let him go like this. He ran over to catch him and took him to a nearby hiding place.
"Grandpas, the younger ones are wrong! The younger ones really don't know anything! That man covered his face when he came to me, gave me money, and asked me to be an intermediary. I don't even know who he is!"
Li Ergou knelt on the ground and kowtowed while crying, begging them to let him go.
Seeing this, Chen Tian frowned. If according to Li Ergou's statement, the clues would be broken when he reached him, it seems that this time there is no way to send Li Zixiu directly to the Yamen.
Turning his head to look at Bai Su, fortunately, his lover's expression didn't look unusual. With his own personal protection, safety can be guaranteed, but Chen Tian is not in a hurry.
