The young man thought that the two of them were businessmen who were interested in their craftsmanship, so they found this place and were very excited to introduce what they made.
Gu Qiang picked up one of them casually. It can be seen that these little things are very delicately made, but even though they have had such a hard time, there are still people who want to attack them.
"Sir, I want to know the origin of the last person who collected items like yours on a large scale?" Gusu Liang is a businessman after all, and he is very comfortable talking about these things. The people in front of him were a little suspicious, so he quickly added The previous sentence said, "Actually, we also want to buy some, but we don't know if we will encounter any equally matched merchants in the city after buying, so we wanted to ask."
The young man is also honest and honest. Although he was not prepared to say anything, when he heard him ask like this, he scratched his head in embarrassment, "I actually don't know the situation. It should be a shopkeeper named Sun. I heard that in the capital, There’s a lot of power there, and it’s thanks to him that our small items can be sold so smoothly.”
When Gusu Liang heard that last name, he blinked slightly and his eyes began to flicker. If it was Shopkeeper Sun, then he had an old acquaintance. He didn't know if they were the same person.
Gu Qiang gently pulled Gu Su Liang, "Do you think the person they are talking about is the shopkeeper Sun who had a good relationship with my uncle before?"
Gu Qiang's first reaction was of course him. After all, he had known before that he was actually Shen Zhongbai's subordinate, so he had always been more wary of him, but he never expected that after so long, he could still hear this name.
Gusu Liang nodded, "I think it's very likely that it's him. After all, he has a background behind him. It's normal for him to be able to do something of this scale."
But if he is really the one behind it, things will really get complicated.
"I remember, did Shopkeeper Sun not get along well with you?" It had been so long ago that Gu Qiang couldn't remember much of it, but what is certain is that Shopkeeper Sun was indeed Although they deliberately tried to frame them, they managed to avoid it in the end, but who can guarantee what will happen this time
"Indeed, you remember these things quite clearly." After Gusu Liang heard the news, he was actually a little helpless, but at this time, he couldn't do anything. Before that, Shopkeeper Sun was actually a substitute When people do things, they can't completely guarantee that he is the mastermind behind it. Even if they find his head, he can completely deny it, because except for the young man in front of him, almost no one knows that he is the mastermind behind it.
"Then what should we do now?" Gu Qiang watched helplessly as the young man in front of him introduced them to them very enthusiastically, wanting them to buy more, but this was not his intention, and he bought so many things. , I have no way to deal with it after I go back.
Gusu Liang has already lost a lot because of the banknotes. He has always been soft-hearted. He has given almost all the money in his hands to these poor people. At this time, he cannot be allowed to continue to lose money. Although it is a bit I couldn't bear it, but I still felt strong, dragging Gu Suliang and ran out.
"Why are you so anxious to come out to me? Didn't you say you still want to buy something?" Gu Suliang took what Gu Qiang said just now seriously. I have to say that it was really not easy for those people just now. After all, you rely on your own craftsmanship to eat. Since you have already said that you want to buy it, it is still a bit uncomfortable to run away so suddenly.
Seeing him like this, Gu Qiang felt even more helpless, "If I hadn't seen your business skills with my own eyes, I would have thought that all your money was blown by the wind. They were holding a hundred I went to exchange the two taels of silver notes with you. You had already shown kindness and exchanged it for them, and you didn’t expose the matter. Isn’t this loss enough for you? "
Gu Qiang now feels more and more unable to understand the person in front of him. He may be very demanding at times, but he never skimps on this kind of thing.
"Didn't we just agree? It's a little inappropriate to run away now." Gu Suliang still cared about his promise, but Gu Qiang was not ready to let him go back.
"If nothing else, at least we have some clues now. I'm afraid it really has something to do with your old friend."
What is the background of this shopkeeper Sun
Chu Tiankuo really didn't make any big discoveries on his side. After all, he had come into contact with too many people in the past few days, and the information in his hands was also complicated. He didn't know where it came from and how he dealt with it. There were so many people, and the banknotes in their hands came and went. It was impossible for Chu Tiankuo to clearly remember the origin of each banknote. He could only recall everything based on what he had experienced that day.
But the harvest was not very big. I just hoped that Gu Qiang and Gusu Liang could get some useful information. Today, his trip was in vain. Not only did he not get any useful information, he also found that he had There seem to be more fake banknotes.
Chu Tiankuo spread out all the banknotes on his body and mixed the real and fake ones. For a moment, he couldn't even tell which one was real and which one was fake. of
"What is the origin of Shopkeeper Sun? He has been able to get along with my uncle from the beginning. This means that he must have done business in the border area. If this is the case, it is impossible for him to have such a good reputation in the capital. With so much power, how did he do it?”
Gu Qiang felt more and more that something was not right with Shopkeeper Sun. According to common sense, a businessman should act honestly and honestly and even made some big noises several times. According to what happened before Look, he should be the person in Shen Zhongbai's hands, but this time, if he is really determined to do these things, it is actually very likely to hurt not only a few of them, but also Shen Zhongbai. Shen Zhongbai will really Is he allowed to do such a thing
"Oh, so annoying..."
Gu Qiang didn't know whether the things they found out today were useful or useless. Logically speaking, the young man was probably one of the first people to get the fake banknotes. What he said should be credible. Yes, but why is such a name suddenly involved that has not appeared for a long time
"Actually, you don't have to be too impatient. At least we have some clues now. If we continue to investigate according to this clue, I believe we will have some results soon."
Although Gu Suliang said so, he was indeed wary of Shopkeeper Sun.
Although most of the industries in the capital belong to him, Shopkeeper Sun is definitely a well-known figure in the capital. Since he can surpass himself and become the president of the chamber of commerce in the capital, there must be something unknown to him. ability.
When Gusu Liangyi heard his name, his heart actually skipped a beat. If he had a choice, he really didn't want to deal with him.
"In that case, why don't we go to Shopkeeper Sun's shop tomorrow to take a look. If the source of the fake banknotes is really him, maybe he has already started circulating fake banknotes in his own shop. Woolen cloth?"
Gu Qiang suddenly had a good idea, but it was absolutely impossible to use this method on the two of them. Probably because both of them had appeared in front of Shopkeeper Sun. No matter how bad his memory was, Sun would not be able to use it. It's impossible for the shopkeeper not to know the two of them at this time, right
"If neither of us can appear in front of him, we must find someone who has never appeared in front of him to do this." Gusu Liang's thinking was relatively clear. The two of them discussed while Walking towards the Lingyin Pavilion could not be regarded as completely fruitless. At least they now knew the general direction of the whole thing.
"If it's someone who has never appeared in front of him, it would be better to let An Ye take a look tomorrow. If I remember correctly, that time should be exactly when he was preparing for his marriage to Fuxue, although sometimes he would still Shen Qianshan's side did not appear during that time. "
Gu Qiang thought about it carefully, and after confirming the time, she thought of him.
"We have to wait until we get back to discuss this matter. I don't know if Tiankuo has any clear clues. It's best not to start with the ambiguous shopkeeper Sun." Gusu Liang still doesn't want to talk to him. Deal with this person, no matter what the reason.
"Tiankuo, are you back so early?" When Gu Suliang returned to Lingyin Pavilion, Chu Tiankuo was already sitting in the hall waiting for the two of them. Although his expression was not good, he looked at The two of them still forced a smile.
"It seems like you two should have gained something, right?"
"certainly… "
Just when Gu Qiang was about to speak, Qi Bai walked in from the door, bowed respectfully to Gu Qiang, and then spoke.
"Master, the prince asked me to bring you some news. He said that he already has some clues about the matter he mentioned yesterday."
Shen Qianshan actually wanted to come over in person, but he didn't expect that in just one day, Gu Qiang and Gu Su Liang would make this matter such a big deal.
