Naturally, Gu Yundong could hear the dissatisfaction in her tone. But as long as the clues were accurate, dissatisfaction was dissatisfaction. She often made others dissatisfied herself. Did she care?

“Where did you see him?”

The woman replied, “At the city gate. That day, my man was looking for work there. I went over to deliver some food to him and saw Gu Dajiang.”

At that time, although Gu Dajiang was still very thin, the clothes he was wearing were much better.

She felt that the officer must have given him silver before he left. He was really lucky.

“My man saw him first and even greeted him,” the woman suddenly said sourly. “He didn’t seem to know us anymore. That’s true. At that time, he probably only had eyes for that officer. How could he remember small fries like us?”

Gu Yundong frowned. This person was no longer as cautious as before. The more she spoke, the more emotional she became.

She tapped the table. “And? Get to the point.”

“My man was a fool. He even went forward to ask if he had found his family.” Seeing that she was impatient, the woman was a little afraid and hurriedly said, “In the end, Gu Dajiang said that his family wasn’t in Qing’an Prefecture and that he had to find them elsewhere. Then, he left the city gate.”

“He left Qing’an Prefecture?” Gu Yundong had thought of this possibility.

The woman nodded. “He did. My husband and I saw him carrying a bag out of the city gate with our own eyes. We never saw him again.”

As she spoke, she leaned closer. “Previously, I suspected that he was lying when he said that he wanted to find his wife and children. Tell me, how did he confirm that they weren’t in Qing’an Prefecture after searching for half a month? When I saw this notice today, I finally understood. He didn’t pay his debts, so he escaped.”

Gu Yundong thought that Gu Dajiang must have his own way to confirm it.

“Well, Miss, I’ve said everything I need to say. Shouldn’t you give me these ten taels of silver?”

Gu Yundong said, “But there aren’t any useful clues. I still can’t find him.”

“Why not? At least you know that Gu Dajiang is no longer in Qing’an Prefecture. You don’t have to spend so much effort putting up notices and giving rewards. It will save you a lot of time.”

She had a point.

“Then how do I know if you’re telling the truth?”

“Of course I’m telling the truth. I’ve already sworn an oath. Why don’t you believe me?” The woman stood up anxiously. “Hey, don’t tell me you don’t want to give the ten taels of silver. Then aren’t you lying by posting this notice? Do you know how difficult it was for me to come here?”

Gu Yundong actually believed 70% to 80% of what the woman said. She could say her father’s name, his height, and knew that he was looking for his wife and children here.

Seeing that she was silent, the woman became a little anxious. “Are you going to give it to me or not? If you don’t, I’ll…”

Before she could finish speaking, an explosive voice suddenly sounded from outside the door. “Wang Xiaomei, are you inside? Come out.”

Gu Yundong was stunned. The woman’s expression changed drastically and she ran out of the central room in shock.

However, after running a few steps, she ran back. “What should I do? What should I do?”

“Who’s outside the door?” Gu Yundong narrowed her eyes.

“He—”

“Wang Xiaomei, stop hiding. I know you’re here. Come out quickly, do you hear me?” The voice outside the door sounded again.

If this continued, the neighbors would come out to watch the commotion.

Gu Yundong walked out and opened the door..
