Especially going to a place like Beishifang, but this is not necessarily a bad thing.
Shen Qianshan's face suddenly fell. Just when Chu Tiankuo thought he was going to stop the two of them from going out, Shen Qianshan suddenly said, "Wait for me, let's go together."
Gu Qiang didn't react for a while, "Aren't you contacting General Huang in the past few days? You are already so busy. Besides, Betting Stone Square is at least a place where serious business can be done. It shouldn't be What's the danger?"
Gu Qiang didn't expect that Shen Qianshan would be willing to go crazy with him at this time. In fact, he didn't know the probability that this matter could be revealed. In fact, he didn't know that he was willing to put down the business he was doing and go investigate with him.
But Shen Qianshan is the Ninth Prince after all. There should be very few people in the capital who have not seen him. If he really takes him with him, he might be recognized before he even enters the door.
"That's not possible, you have to take me with you."
Shen Qianshan is actually not that jealous. It's just that in places like Gambling Stone Square, most of them are half sold and half cheated. There must be some background behind it. Although he may not be able to suppress it, if he carefully If we go together, we can at least escape.
If Shen Qianshan wants to go with him, Gu Qiang will start to work again. His face must be changed no matter what, otherwise, he will be recognized as soon as he goes out.
After briefly cleaning up, Gu Qiang remembered that the three of them could not go out through the front door, so he sneaked to the back door, but happened to find Gusu Liang, who also wanted to sneak out.
"Ah Liang, I'm just asking you to stay here for one day. Don't you think you can stay here?"
Gu Qiang was the first to speak. She looked at Gu Suliang quietly from behind, and suddenly felt that it was a bit sad for a big shopkeeper to be looked at like this, but at this time, he could not be allowed to continue to enter the palace.
"Gu Qiang, I really have important things to do. It's okay if you don't help me. You can't send people to stop me, right? Don't forget how I helped you before."
After Gu Su Liang was caught again, he obviously felt very uncomfortable, but when he saw Chu Tiankuo next to Gu Qiang, and Shen Qianshan, who could not hide his iceberg temperament no matter how hard he tried to cover it up, he was instantly defeated. The formation is coming.
"I really don't understand, why did you get up so early today and choose to use the back door instead of the main door?"
Gusu Liang really felt that he had to memorize words today, but there was no other way.
"Come down quickly."
When Chu Tiankuo saw him like this, he actually wanted to laugh a little, but it was a pity that on such a good day worth going out, he was the only one who couldn't go out.
"It's best to stay here honestly. We are not here today. There must be someone here to take care of the business."
Gu Qiang still wanted to be soft, at least to persuade him. Otherwise, if he kept sending people to catch him like this, he would inevitably lose the face of the big shopkeeper.
"I'm really impressed by you."
Gusu Liang had no choice but to stay, and the three of them wandered the street without any worries.
I usually have breakfast in Lingyin Pavilion, but I never knew that the street outside could be so lively early in the morning.
Gu Qiang suppressed her heart strongly and stopped running around like a wild horse. She had something serious to do today.
"Have you had breakfast?" Shen Qianshan asked casually. Just by listening to their voices, Gu Qiang could clearly distinguish the two of them. Chu Tiankuo's voice was calm and gentle. Although Shen Qianshan sometimes said There is some emotion, but when there are other people around, his words are always cold.
"I haven't eaten yet..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Qianshan stuffed the bun in his hand into the mouth of the person opposite him, "Eat this first to cushion your taste, and eat later when you get back."
After saying that, he stuffed all the remaining buns in his hand to Chu Tiankuo, "Why have you lost so much weight recently? Is it possible that the food here is not to your liking?"
Shen Qianshan did find something wrong with him, but he was not that familiar with him, so he never spoke. This was an opportunity for the two of them to get to know each other better.
"No." Chu Tiankuo smiled and shook his head. He felt that this cold-mouthed prince actually cared about his friends in his heart.
After eating and drinking, the three of them walked towards the stone betting square together.
This Gambling Stone Shop has just been opened recently. If it were before, all merchants in the capital would have settled their accounts with Gusu Liang's bank. However, during this period, his bank also suffered losses. Quite a few, so they knew almost nothing about this newly opened stone betting shop.
Gu Qiang was about to walk in directly, but Shen Qianshan suddenly lowered his voice and said something in their ears.
"There are people watching behind you. The people they were watching just now may be the people in the Stone Gambling Room."
Shen Qianshan's guess has always been correct. Generally speaking, the more a business is like this, the easier it is to force sales. He has seen a lot and naturally knows that this store is far from what it looks like. So clean.
Shen Qianshan still remembered that Gu Qiang was angry with him before, so he had been shamelessly living in Lingyin Pavilion for such a long time, but he never dared to approach Gu Qiang. Today, when he came so lightly, Shen Qianshan felt She seems to be unable to extricate herself. The smell on Gu Qiang's body has always been so unique. No one else has this smell except herself.
But now was not the time to indulge in such things. Shen Qianshan pulled himself away forcefully, exchanged a look with Chu Tiankuo, and stood next to Gu Qiang.
Shen Qianshan could feel that the few of them had just walked into Gambling Stone Square, and the tails behind them had already disappeared. This was the first time he had seen such a place in his life. On the surface, it looked clean and ordinary. business, but in fact, a casual deception can make someone bankrupt.
Shen Qianshan actually never thought that Gu Qiang would have such an idea. Of course, he never thought that he and Chu Tiankuo would just accompany her to make trouble. It was opened at a time when Gusu Liang was unable to do accounting in the entire capital, but it doesn't mean it really has anything to do with the previous fake banknotes, right
Although Chu Tiankuo is well-informed, he doesn't know much about a place like this. He feels regretful now. He should have more principles and not agree to everything. Now he is better. Not only himself. , even Shen Qianshan also played with her.
Gu Qiang saw that the expressions of the two people around him were not very good, and felt a little strange in her heart, but this place did look like they were doing business honestly, and it didn't look like what she imagined. confusion.
"Where did the three young masters come from? Are you also interested in our jade business?" The person soliciting business at the door was quite enthusiastic. Gu Qiang had never seen such an attitude, so she followed him directly. When they entered, the two people beside them, Shen Qianshan and Chu Tiankuo, had gloomy expressions and their eyes were always on guard.
Gu Qiang went up and sat in a very conspicuous position. Shen Qianshan and Chu Tiankuo were also nearby to protect her. They eagerly looked at the various strange stones placed underneath, but they could not tell any clues.
"Is this your first time, young master? Do you need me to explain the rules?"
Someone actually came to explain to him. Of course, Gu Qiang would not be polite and nodded directly.
"The rules here are very simple. Some of the stones underneath are ordinary, but there may be very precious jade hidden inside. Some of them look surprising, but they are ordinary and have nothing inside. But all their prices are It’s the same. You just give me the price and we can pick out the jade stone for you on the spot.”
This rule is quite simple, but Gu Qiang really knows nothing about this aspect. She turned around and looked at the two people behind her, but they also looked at each other. They usually have their own things to be busy with, how could they have time to discuss this
"What about the price?"
Gu Qiang didn't know the market very well, and she didn't bring much cash with her when she went out today. She was afraid that she would get into a fight later if she didn't pay them in advance.
"Fifty taels of silver a piece, sir, please rest assured. If the jade is found, it will all belong to the young master himself. Even if it cannot be found, it will only require fifty taels of silver notes."
As soon as the waiter in front of him saw the clothes the three of them were wearing, he knew they were not ordinary people. Fifty taels of silver should be nothing to the three of them, so they talked about it in an understatement, as if they were talking about five. Same as money.
However, the faces of Shen Qianshan and Chu Tiankuo next to them were not very good. Because of the price, even outsiders could tell that there was definitely something wrong.
Gambling on stones is a very risky thing. Generally speaking, even if the stone is of ordinary quality, it will not be less than one hundred taels. If there are only fifty taels, the two of them must doubt the quality of the stone. .
Shen Qianshan glanced around and looked at the stones placed on the shelf. Because they were not professionals, it was too difficult for them to see the way inside. Gu Qiang suddenly Somewhat difficult to decide.
"Then how about... this?"
Gu Qiang was not sure what the stones here were like, and wanted to pick up a piece and take it back to have a look. Only by thoroughly understanding this place could she be sure that the recent fake banknotes had something to do with them. Does it matter
