Chapter 386: Behind the scenes

Views:

A point to the left and right of the door, two white servants came in with a middle-aged man on his back, pushed him heavily to the ground, and reported, "Master, the criminals have been brought here!"

Sun Shaozong raised his hand to signal the two to step aside, then looked down at the so-called 'profiteer', but saw that this man was in his early thirties. A wealthy businessman is more like a coolie in a black coal kiln.

The 'profiteer' fell heavily, but he didn't dare to cry out in pain, so he quickly got up and grabbed the tunnel with his head: "Master Qingtian is clear, the villain has always abide by the law, and he has never done anything that hurts the heavens and the law. !"

slap~

Before Sun Shaozong could speak, Jia She slapped the table and scolded furiously, "You bastard profiteer! You have fooled the master with all your tricks and deceit, how dare you say 'abide by the law'?!"

The black and thin profiteer only saw Jia She at this time, he was stunned for a while, and then he shouted Zhuangtianqu again: "What did Mr. Jia say? Even if the villain has the courage, he doesn't dare to Lie to you, Master Jia!"

"How dare you say you didn't lie to me?!"

The more Jia She spoke, the more annoyed she got, so she stood up, walked up to her belly, kicked the black and thin businessman upside down, pointed at his nose and cursed, "The five hundred Tao Zhu Jinbei What kind of quality is it, don't you have a clue in your heart? You dare to fool Lao Tzu, and you can make a fortune if you say anything!"

The black and thin businessman didn't dare to get up when he saw that he had such a stern brow. It has risen to five taels of silver, and the villain asks for four taels of silver, wouldn’t it be possible to make a fortune by flipping your hands?”

"As for the fineness..."

"The villain has never told Master Jia that those are top-grade 'Tao Zhu Jinbei'!"

Before he finished speaking, Jia She kicked up again with a head covering his face, and scolded: "How dare you continue to talk nonsense now? You don't dare to shut up your master!"

The black and thin businessman was beaten full of grievances, and he didn't know what he said wrong.

While the Sun brothers listened to it, they couldn't help sneering again and again. Don't look at Jia She's scolding every profiteer, but if you really think about it, he is afraid that he is a hundred times more greedy than this black and thin businessman!

It's just that he is also an elder after all, and the two brothers are not easy to point out in person, so after he kicked a few more feet, Sun Shaozong said: "Uncle Shi, please be calm and let me ask him a few questions. ?"

Jia She knew that he was revealing his details, and his face didn't feel a little hot, but after all, he was a person who was used to 'playing arrogant', so when he turned his head around, he said sanely, "My good son-in-law and good nephew don't want it. Listen to his nonsense! This guy is clearly 'shoddy', and he insists on selling me that Laoshizi shell for 10 taels of silver!"

The word 'required' is really wonderful to use!

Sun Shaozong is not poor now, but he can't imagine how an ordinary businessman with no background would 'forcefully sell things' to the Grand Master of Rongguo Mansion.

And what Jia She said at the beginning seemed to be fifteen taels of silver and one gold shell, right

He was speechless for a moment, but after all he slept with his daughter, Sun Shaozong couldn't care about these things with him, so he smiled helplessly: "Don't worry, Uncle Shi, I'm not asking about these trivial matters, but about that. Tao Zhu Jinbei's origin is quite curious."

As soon as Jia She heard this, the wrinkled old face suddenly lit up, and he urged in a series of voices: "That's right! Hurry up and ask the origin of that Jinbei, let's send someone to gather some of them, wouldn't it be strong? Ever be a second-order dealer?!"

Since that time he checked the accounts and was confiscated a lot of stolen money, he has completely fallen into the eyes of money - it's just that he is greedy for money, and he doesn't even blink an eye when he spends money.

Moreover, when Jia She said this, it seemed like asking about the origin of this 'Tao Zhu Jinbei' was just trying to steal other people's fortunes.

However, the black-faced man was very obedient. He immediately got up after hearing this, and without waiting for Sun Shaozong to ask anything, he explained the origin of Tao Zhu Jinbei clearly and clearly.

It turns out that the so-called 'Tao Zhu Jinbei' is true to say that it is from the Western Regions.

The Four Guards outside the Great Wall are located on the plateau on the northwest frontier. They are vast and sparsely populated and are dominated by herdsmen. Although it is considered the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, few people care about it.

Therefore, it was not until a few years ago that a group of traders selling tea bricks found this kind of shell with a copper coin pattern near the saltwater lake called 'Tsowenbu'.

At that time, as one of many legends in the Western Regions, this matter was only circulated among some merchants and did not attract much attention.

Until last summer, a trader had a whim, and while selling tea bricks, he bought a batch of shells with characters from local herdsmen, and named them 'Tao Zhu Jinbei' to try to sell them in the capital.

Who would have thought that this thing became famous in the first battle, and was highly praised by many gentry. In just two months, its value has increased dozens of times - some of them can distinguish the content of the text, and it has increased thousands of times. more than!

As soon as the news spread, businessmen who knew the basics immediately rushed to the vicinity of 'Tsowenbu Lake' to scan the goods - this black and thin businessman was one of them.

"Because the villain was afraid of delaying the market for too long, he only took four or five hundred pieces of good quality, and he took back more than a thousand of inferior goods."

When Sun Shaozong heard this, he asked again: "How much of the 'Tao Zhu Jinbei' has words in it?"

"If you go back to the adults, the real 'Tao Zhu Jinbei' can be said to be one in a million!"

The black and thin businessman said depressedly: "I got these 2,000 coins and came back. Among them, there are only three of them with characters, and they are only vaguely shaped with characters, and they are not worth the big price at all."

Seeing Sun Shaozong's disbelief, he hurriedly explained: "The local herdsmen also often store shells with writing as rare items, so the Hu named Hu only collected more than a hundred shells at once - but he probably also I didn't expect that 'Tao Zhu Jinbei' would be so valuable, I sold all of it at a low price at first, but now I'm afraid it's too late to regret it."

Having said that, the black and thin businessman couldn't help but gloat over his misfortune.

In this way, this 'Tao Zhu Jinbei' is really a scarce resource.

Sun Shaozong pondered for a while, and then asked: "Now this 'Tao Zhu Jinbei' is priced at one a day, not to mention the middle-grade ones, even those defective products have risen to four coins and a piece of silver, is this because you and other merchants are working together to drive up the price? up?"

"Master Qingtian is decisive!"

The black-handed man knocked his head on the ground and complained: "Others don't know what to do, but how can a small businessman have such skills?"

"Originally, I just wanted to make a fortune with the help of 'Tao Zhu Jinbei'. Later, the villain found that the real Jinbei was hard to find, and he was not willing to return empty-handed, so he tried to collect some ordinary goods and wanted to make some hard work. money."

"Who would have thought that after arriving in the capital, the little man discovered that many traders coincided with me. Thousands of ordinary goods were piled up in one place, but where did they sell them?"

"Nothing, everyone had to sell those golden shells to others for a few pennies."

"Because the people who bought Jinbei seemed to know each other, the villain kept his mind at that time and only sold the inferior goods, but secretly left five hundred with a slightly better quality. pieces."

"As expected, after the beginning of summer, not to mention ordinary golden shells, even the prices of those defective products have doubled up!"

"The villain thinks he has a plan, so he wants to take the opportunity to make a fortune, but who knows..."

Having said that, the black and thin businessman looked depressed again and stole a glance at Jia She.

Someone is actually manipulating it!

Sun Shaozong's spirit was lifted. Since there is a 'behind the scenes', the Criminal and Ming Division will investigate the matter thoroughly, and it will be a lot more justifiable.

It's just that I don't know who has such a big hand. In just a short period of time, they have created such a momentum, and even some casinos in the capital can endorse this Jinbei.

"I'll ask you!"

Sun Shaozong was trying to figure out the identity and background of the 'behind the scenes', but Jia She hurriedly asked: "Now, sir, if I send someone to go to the lake to collect some gold shells and sell them back, will it be too late? ?"

"this… "

The black and thin businessman hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said: "The number of golden shells is limited, not to mention that most of the golden threads on the shells are disorganized, and they are not really golden shells at all. If I buy them now, I am afraid that I have already found them. Not too much."

Jia She suddenly slumped back into the chair like a deflated ball.

Seeing that Jia She had lost interest, Sun Shaozong instructed Bai Yi to take the black and thin businessman to the Criminal and Ming Division, so that he could re-transcribe his statement.

Clang~!

At this time, I heard the sound of gongs outside, but this morning's "Sun Gong Case" was about to officially start.

It was not the protagonist 'Sun Shaozong' who came on stage first, but Liu Xianglian and a few scholars. Seeing that they sang the background in three or two sentences, they began to 'quarrel' again.

Everyone was attracted, and at the same time, they all waited quietly for Jiang Yuhan to speak loudly.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and Jiang Yuhan, who was dressed in a costume, broke in and called out anxiously: "Brother Sun, please take a step to speak!"

At this time, how could he still have time to talk to himself

Sun Shaozong didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly followed Jiang Yuhan out of the private room, only to see Jiang Yuhan stretched out his hand and grabbed his wrist, and said excitedly: "Something happened to Brother Sun! Zhu Er, who played the carpenter, was stabbed to death by someone just now!"

Thanks to the book friend 'Imperial Guards' for the reward.
