The glass bowls.
Manager Gao turned around and lifted up the carriage curtains to look at the two glass bowls sitting in the carriage.
"Tian San pawned these in Gaoping. Our banknotes were definitely cashed in there too," added the coachman. "Should we investigate it?"
"Investigate what?" asked Manager Gao. "What’s there to investigate. Tian San won’t say it himself. That night, he was sitting by the bridge chewing bread and someone sat down and said that he lost a shoe and wanted to buy his shoe."
The coachman naturally was not a coachman. He was, rather, Manager Gao’s disciple. He thought about the description he just heard.
Tian San’s shoes were broken and dirty. It was unimaginable that anyone would want them, so of course, he was extremely happy when someone wanted them.
That person had tossed him a few coppers, then threw away one of his own shoes.
