Chapter 52: Wukang Mountain
Chapter 52 Wukang Mountain Lan Qiaoyan thought for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, “He is considered a person of status in Zhaotian City, and it wouldn't be good to make things difficult for your Tower Master. Since he's here, let him in.”
“Understood, I will relay the message at once.” The Shopkeeper immediately cupped his hands in salute and departed.
Before long, in a reception room at Far-Gazing Tower, the Shopkeeper and Cao Puqing arrived side by side and took their seats.
Old Dong and Big Stone had already been brought in.
After determining who was who, Cao Puqing immediately questioned them directly. He asked if they knew Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang, and if they knew where those two guys had gone.
The two did admit their relationship with Shi Chun, but they insisted they had no idea of Shi Chun's whereabouts.
After listening, Cao Puqing took a noncommittal sip of tea.
Then, expressionless, he dropped a bombshell: “I heard that the day before yesterday, near evening, you took a bank note for fifty thousand gold to the bank and withdrew fifty thousand gold. Is that true?”
At these words, the Shopkeeper’s gaze suddenly fixed on Old Dong and the other man.
