"Shopkeeper, the owner wants to see you."
Having just gotten back to Xiahe County Town, the man impersonating Shopkeeper Qi and his entourage returned to the Four Directions Gambling House.
As expected, the government constables didn't even bother keeping up appearances.
They let them go as soon as they entered the town.
However, the pedantic Scholar had barely sat down, his mind already churning with plans to discreetly return to that courtyard and search for the silver.
Just then, he heard a voice from outside the door.
His expression immediately soured.
"I understand. I'll change my clothes and be right over."
The pedantic Scholar lowered his voice, making it sound exactly like Shopkeeper Qi's, without the slightest flaw.
Although he was eager to go look for the silver, he first had to deal with the gambling house's true owner.
After all, if he didn't go, it would surely attract unnecessary trouble.
