Gu Qiang followed Shen Qianshan to Lingyin Pavilion. When he stood in front of Gusu Liang intact, Gusu Liang was also a little surprised.
Because although the fire in the pharmacy was not particularly big, Gu Qiang was resting in the room next to the medicinal material warehouse. Almost all the herbs in the medicinal material warehouse were wiped out, but Gu Qiang was fine at all.
When Gu Suliang saw Gu Qiang, she couldn't help but sigh, "If you weren't really lucky enough to have escaped death so many times, wouldn't you be the chosen one?"
After Gu Suliang heard that the pharmacy where Gu Qiang was working was on fire, her first reaction was that there were still people who refused to let them go. However, she didn't expect that Gu Qiang was still lucky and had no problem at all.
"Are you saying this because you expect me to die?"
"Then I wouldn't dare."
Although Gu Suliang usually talks a little lightly, he never wants anything to happen to Gu Qiang, but this time, the person behind the scenes is too cruel.
"It's okay. I originally thought that this time things were going to be a big deal, and maybe I could find the person who did it along this line, but who would have thought that the person behind it would be so cautious."
Chu Tiankuo's first reaction after learning about this incident was to quickly send someone to investigate the situation around the pharmacy. However, he did not expect that the other party would be more cautious than him. Maybe this time it would be the same as last time. , shooting arrows or throwing stones from a relatively far distance, and throwing the source of fire into the pharmacy.
"I haven't found any relevant clues yet, but I have sent people to keep an eye on the area around the pharmacy, and I think I already know who the murderer is behind this."
The trouble lies here. Although Shen Qianshan knew that Ning Ziyuan was definitely behind this, he did not expect that Ning Ziyuan did everything he said and did without leaving any clues worth using.
"Do you already know who it is? I've been investigating for the past few days and can only figure out where the fire started and where the source of the goods was thrown in. But I really can't find this person."
In fact, they suffered a dumb loss this time. If it were normal, neither Shen Qianshan nor Gu Qiang would be able to swallow this breath, but in this matter, they didn't know what to do at all. Only then can you confidently go to the other party after grabbing the evidence.
She could only watch Ning Ziyuan get away with it. Shen Qianshan didn't think this was a thing and could treat it as something that didn't happen. After all, Gu Qiang almost died in the fire. No matter what, I shouldn't let this matter go so easily.
"I won't let them go easily, whether it's Ning Ziyuan or Marquis Luo Ping."
Shen Qianshan did what he said, and now Shen Qianshan is trying every means to control the matter of Ning Ziyuan, Luo Pinghou and others opening a mine outside. If this matter is really put in front of Shen Zhongbai, Shen Zhongbai They will definitely not be spared lightly.
What's more, the current Marquis Luo Ping is very likely to collude with foreign enemies. From this look, if Shen Qianshan can get evidence that Marquis Luo Ping and Ning Ziyuan are colluding with foreign enemies, Shen Zhongbai will never spare their father and daughter lightly. .
"By the way, who is that Ning Ziyuan? She was strutting in and out of Lingyin Pavilion a few days ago. Why can't she even bother to pretend now?"
Gusu Liang knew that Ning Ziyuan stole the ledger in Lingyin Pavilion, but he didn't know what kind of entanglement Ning Ziyuan and Gu Qiang had before, so looking at the current situation of several of them, Gusu Ryo didn't know what was going on.
"She didn't have a good relationship with me in the first place. I don't know what happened to her. She always claimed that she had a very good relationship with me. When I was still the ninth princess, she came here several times to study and said she wanted to visit. I."
The relationship between Gu Qiang and Ning Ziyuan has never been very good, so she is even more disgusted by Ning Ziyuan's deliberate closeness.
In addition, Ning Ziyuan had been close to her current status intentionally or unintentionally before, and she felt that Ning Ziyuan was probably not pretending to have a good relationship just to get close to Shen Qianshan.
"That's strange. She has never come close to me."
Logically speaking, if Ning Ziyuan just wants to get to know more powerful people, Gusu Liang's identity is much easier to use than Gusu Ran. After all, Gusu Ran has no connection with the palace now. , even considered a suspicious figure that Shen Zhongbai focuses on.
Ning Ziyuan is approaching. Could it be that he thinks he can handle this
"Perhaps she is not seeking power, but simply wants to find out more about the emperor?"
What Chu Tiankuo said actually had no basis, it was just his own guess, but it made several people present start to daydream.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with saying this. Ning Ziyuan had indeed entered the palace before, but Shen Zhongbai did not accept her. Gu Qiang did not know the specific reason, but Ning Ziyuan was deeply in love with Shen Zhongbai. Could it be that Those who don't get it will be destroyed, so you are helping others to remove Shen Zhongbai from the throne
Gu Qiang felt that she must have listened to too many storytellers on the street, otherwise how could she have such strange ideas
The three people on the side were thinking carefully, but at this moment, Gu Qiang looked like she was wandering, and even laughed out loud. Seeing this, Gu Suliang quickly patted her.
"What are you thinking about? Your mouth is watering."
What Gu Suliang said was a bit exaggerated, but Gu Qiang still touched her chin subconsciously, "Where is it?"
"What are you thinking about? Weren't you talking about business just now?"
Shen Qianshan didn't mean to blame Gu Qiang, but he was quite curious about what Gu Qiang was thinking and why she was smiling so happily.
"It's nothing, I just thought about it. If it really comes true, I'll be happy."
If Ning Ziyuan is willing to use foreign power to weaken Shen Zhongbai, Shen Qianshan will definitely save a lot of trouble when dealing with Shen Zhongbai. Of course, he will laugh at such a thing, but the possibility is really small. Yes, Gu Qiang also knew that the most she could do was just think about it.
"Okay, it's getting late. Let's have dinner first. We have to discuss how we can help you get through this. After all, your brother regards those herbs as his life. You How will we explain it when he comes back?"
Gusu Liang is really a good hand at lifting any pot. Gu Qiang originally thought that she would use the little money she saved in the past few days to try her best to mend the hole, but Now it seems that Gu Huaian really spends a lot of money to buy those medicinal materials on weekdays. Gu Qiang has the final say, and the banknotes he has on hand are simply not enough.
Just talking about the small medicine box from the previous auction, I guess I can't find the second one now. I don't know if Gu Huaian will put such medicinal materials in a special place alone.
"I remember that there are a lot of useful medicinal materials in your room, which you secretly hid all by yourself. Why don't you lend them to me for an emergency first, and I will save up the money to pay you back when I have money."
Gu Qiang knew that even if Gu Huaian really got through, the contraction jelly was in it, and those medicinal materials were not something she could afford now.
"No, my stuff is really at the bottom of the box. If you give it to me, what if I need it in the future?"
Gusu Liang is indeed reluctant to let go, not to mention what kind of person is Gu Huai'an
He had been thinking about his medicinal materials from the beginning. He had lost so much this time. If Gu Qiang gave all his treasures to Gu Huaian, Gu Huaian might let him He accepted them all. Even if he knew that the medicinal materials were not his, he would definitely accept them.
As a businessman, Gusu Liang certainly cannot suffer such a loss.
"You are so stingy. I asked you for such a small thing, but you hesitated and refused to give it."
Gu Qiang also knew that those things were also very important to Gusu Liang, so she just talked about them casually and could not really skin him.
"That's different. You haven't been eating from me and wearing my clothes in Lingyin Pavilion all this time. I even lent you my identity. You have to be grateful. I'll confiscate your money."
Although there were many choked words among the few people talking, the atmosphere was still good. I thought that this matter might be a turning point, but unexpectedly, what Qi Bai brought back surprised everyone.
"This is it, the thing that the prince asked me to go out to investigate."
It can be seen that Qi Bai was running out of breath. He looked like a postman rather than a master.
When Shen Qianshan saw this situation, he knew that something big must have happened, otherwise Qi Bai would not be so anxious.
"Take a breath before talking."
Shen Qianshan was actually quite anxious when he saw him like this. Because he didn't know what was going on, he felt that his eyebrows were beating all the time.
"There is something wrong with this kind of ore, and it was indeed shipped to the border, but not to foreigners."
Qi Bai didn't expect that when he ran all the way over to investigate, the situation was far from what they imagined. There might even be some other problems that they couldn't explain until now.
"Although that kind of ore is very hard and is indeed suitable for casting weapons, it becomes very brittle after being burned during the forging process. The weather has gradually cooled down recently. If it is used, one blow Instantly broken.”
Qi Bai also specially sent people to find this kind of ore. After several experiments in the blacksmith shop, he discovered this problem. This kind of weapon cannot be used for fighting at all.
