Gu Qiang didn't know what Liu Rongchen wanted to do now, but gunpowder was indeed dangerous. Although he knew that Liu Rongchen was Shen Zhongbai's friend since childhood, in this situation, he had to figure out what Liu Rongchen wanted to do. , so that you can plan the next thing.
Shen Qianshan believed that Huang Hao, after all, was a former general who ruled the country. Huang Hao was definitely more experienced than him in handling military affairs, but the matter was so important that he really had no chance to contact Huang Hao during this period. Hao, more or less still panicked.
Qi Bai and An Ye were arranged by him to stay with Gu Qiang. Qianqiu and Eleven were obviously a little too busy. There were a lot of things in the capital, and it was not easy to be able to take care of both, let alone them. The two of them still have to deal with the affairs of Lingyin Pavilion.
Gu Qiang unloaded all the things she had just glanced at and saw on the note and handed it to Qi Bai in front of her. She always wanted to make sure that what Liu Rongchen said to her just now was true or false. At least she knew it in her heart and could not let him mess.
The gunpowder left in his hands was actually of no use in the first place, but if Liu Rongchen really took these things and did something shameful, wouldn't he become an accomplice
"Princess, this is..."
After Qi Bai followed Gu Qiang, things in his hands became a lot easier. Gu Qiang rarely actually asked him to do something, so it was inevitable that he was not used to it being so formal.
"There is a store address here. Go find Boss Xu here and ask if there is any mining business around the capital recently."
Gu Qiang was still not so reassured about Liu Rongchen. If nothing else, even if Liu Rongchen really needed gunpowder and happened to know that he had it, why would he ask her for it
Liu Rongchen is a wealthy businessman from the south of the Yangtze River. It stands to reason that a wealthy family like the Liu family should have more convenience in getting things done than Gusu Liang, but why...
Liu Rongchen should know that mentioning this matter to him is equivalent to telling him directly that he has been staring at this group of people. Their situation was already difficult enough. At this time, he revealed that he had been staring at everyone. It is impossible for Gu Qiang to let down his guard.
"Mining business?"
Qi Bai didn't know what happened, and he wasn't sure if he heard something wrong. The princess had never been interested in doing business, so why did she suddenly start asking these questions
"Yes, near the capital. Also, arrange for a few people to watch around the Lingyin Pavilion and the Nine Princes' Mansion to see if there is anyone else watching nearby besides Shen Zhongbai's people."
After Liu Rongchen said those words to him, it was impossible for Gu Qiang not to take it to heart. This time, he not only wanted Qi Bai to investigate Liu Rongchen's affairs, but also eliminated all dangers around Shen Qianshan.
Qi Bai didn't react, but he still followed the instructions given by Guan Qiang, but there really was such a shopkeeper Xu in this store.
Although he didn't know what Gu Qiang wanted to do, so he had to do as she said for fear of delaying something important, but all of Gu Qiang's doubts were explained one by one.
"Master, what's the matter?"
This shopkeeper Xu is indeed a real estate dealer. He is not even senior to Gusu Liang. He is cautious and careful in his work on weekdays. He is not a person who is easily troubled. Qi Bai, who carries a sword on his body, suddenly appears. He would inevitably feel a little uncomfortable in front of him, fearing that he might have offended someone he couldn't afford to offend.
Qi Bai didn't know if there was any danger at first, so when he went out, he picked up his sword out of habit. But he didn't expect that when he walked in, he would see such an honest-looking businessman.
"It's nothing serious. It's just that the master of the house wants to ask something. I don't know if it's convenient."
Although Qi Bai was holding a long sword in his hand, his face was relatively friendly. Shopkeeper Xu did not become suspicious. He pointed to the elegant room behind him and looked at Qi Bai.
"Then please invite this young master inside."
Qi Bai had very little information. When he simply mentioned the news about buying a property, shopkeeper Xu was confused. He only came to his senses when he mentioned the matter about the mine.
"You mean Mr. Liu from Jiangnan, right?"
When Qi Bai heard that the person in front of him was Mr. Liu, he thought it was Gu Su Ran who borrowed Liu Rongchen's name. He also thought that Gu Qiang was doubting Gu Su Ran and Gu Su Liang brothers, and he began to hesitate in his heart, but Since there is such a thing, I must investigate it thoroughly before going back to report it
After confirming with Shopkeeper Xu, Qi Bai was also confused and didn't know who it was, but he almost figured out what happened.
When Qi Bai brought back the news, Gu Qiang's expression became more and more unpredictable. After all, Liu Rongchen's matter of finding her was too weird. It was really inconvenient for him to embarrass Qi Bai with these things. Running back and forth, since what Liu Rongchen said is true. He really shouldn't be stingy in this kind of thing, so Qi Bai called the guards who were in charge of the gambling house before and came to Lingyin Pavilion.
According to what Qi Bai said, the matter of buying the mine was indeed true, but it was indeed not done by Liu Rongchen himself, but by Gu Suran's hand.
But what Liu Rongchen said was indeed true, and it was not a good idea to bother with this matter. Although Gu Qiang was still a little reluctant, since the whole thing was true. There was no need for him to continue to embarrass Liu Rongchen.
Although Liu Rongchen came here to hide his identity this time, he also brought some people with him. It was not convenient for Gu Qiang to show up now, so everything was left to Gu Su Liang. He didn't know why Gu Qiang did this. , but Liu Rongchen is just a businessman, and he probably can't do anything too extreme.
Chu Tiankuo watched Gu Suliang go out, still feeling a little uneasy, so he went upstairs and knocked on the door of Gu Qiang's room.
When Gu Qiang saw that it was Chu Tiankuo who was coming, he didn't have any precautions. "Brother Chu, what can I do for you?"
Chu Tiankuo looked at Gu Qiang, who was in a low mood, "Do you really think there is nothing wrong with this Liu Rongchen?" From the beginning, he felt that something was wrong with this Liu Rongchen. According to common sense, Liu Rongchen's behavior was indeed not like that of a businessman. , a little too low-key, and I have been in Tianji Pavilion for so many years, and it’s not like I don’t know the Liu family at all. This Liu family is by no means simple.
"There must be something wrong, but since he said that he wanted to do the ore business, I can't refuse." Gu Qiang has already confirmed that the mine is deserted, and Gusu Liang will look at it later. After they transported the gunpowder and came back, the gunpowder would not hurt anyone, and Liu Rongchen, a businessman, had no need to kill anyone.
"The Liu family seems to have some connection with the royal family, don't you doubt it?"
When Chu Tiankuo was in Tianji Pavilion, he got a lot of news about the Liu family. However, most of it was the internal fighting of the Liu family, which was plain and boring. However, the head of the Liu family has always been a gentle person who never fought or fought. But he was always targeted, which made Chu Tiankuo begin to wonder if there might be any secrets hidden behind the Liu family.
"Isn't the Liu family in Jiangnan? How come they are connected with the royal family?" This is indeed something Gu Qiang doesn't know. If she had known about it earlier, she would not have wanted to have anything to do with Liu Rongchen anyway. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" I have agreed to all of them.”
Gu Qiang felt a little regretful now. After all, this matter was unusual. If Liu Rongchen got the gunpowder really to help Shen Zhongbai, wouldn't he have shot himself in the foot
If this is the case, it will simply cause Shen Qianshan a big trouble.
"You don't have to be so anxious. It may not be what you think. It shouldn't be that bad." Chu Tiankuo also felt that Gu Qiang's worries were a bit excessive. In any case, Liu Rongchen, as the head of the Liu family, had nothing to do with the palace over the years. If there was even the slightest connection, it would be impossible for Liu Rongchen to do such a troublesome thing for Shen Zhongbai.
It's just that Liu Rongchen asked for so much gunpowder at once, which is definitely not a small matter.
"Then what should we do now?"
Gu Qiang suddenly began to blame herself. She should not have underestimated the enemy in the first place.
When the two of them were worried, Gu Su Liang also hurriedly opened the door and came in, "Gu Qiang, what's going on?"
Gu Qiang was already feeling uncomfortable enough. At this time, Gu Suliang suddenly said such a sentence, which scared her whole body.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Gu Qiang knew that Gu Suliang was not a person who would be surprised. Even if he was so anxious now, something must have really happened.
"Didn't you say that Liu Rongchen wanted those gunpowders to do some mining business? When we passed by just now, a villa had been built on the mountain. How could Liu Rongchen blow up the mountain?" Gusu Liang had actually been thinking about it from the beginning. He didn't trust Liu Rongchen that much, so when he went up the mountain just now, he made a special circle.
The villa on the mountain seemed to have just been restored, and it was very Jiangnan style. That's why Gusu Liang became suspicious, because no matter how he looked at it, it looked like it had been arranged by Liu Rongchen. If this was really the case, he would take it. Those explosives were definitely not meant to blow up mountains.
"Villa?" After hearing the news, Gu Qiang looked back at Chu Tiankuo beside her, "Have you received any news recently?"
Chu Tiankuo is no longer in charge of Tianji Pavilion, and of course the information in his hand is not as well-informed as before. Even if Gu Qiang said this now, he really can't come up with any useful information.
