Chapter 101: It Turned Out to Be Him
"Madam, it's clear that the person who sells the Five Stone Scatter behind the scenes is Cao Liang, the son of Cao Yan, the Marquis of Gaoling Pavilion and the general of Xiaocai." The chief shopkeeper truthfully reported the results of the investigation to the lady in purple.
In fact, it is not difficult to get this result at all, although for most buyers, they really don't know who the boss behind the scenes is, but as long as they have the heart to check, they can soon find out.
The big shopkeeper of Yipinju first targeted He Yan's body, because most of the five stone scatters that have been circulated from now on are from He Yan's hands.
Of course, the people of Yipinju did not have the courage to ask He Yan in person, but used a roundabout method to bribe the subordinates of He Mansion with money, so they found out that it was He Yan who Cao Liang sold the five stones to in bulk.
As for whether there are still people on Cao Liang, the shopkeeper of Yipinju can't be sure, because the news he heard is limited to this level, and it is beyond his power to explore further.
In fact, they couldn't explore any further, because Cao Liang was the one they identified as the initiator, the boss behind the scenes.
"Cao Liang?" The image of the young man selling the sword suddenly appeared in the mind of the lady in purple, although Cao Liang did not report his name at that time, but as the most shrewd businessman, how could he not inquire about the identity of the other party?
At that time, in order to fool the cold iron sword in Cao Liang's hand, the lady in purple also acted in a bitter love scene very affectionately, although it was said that the price was expensive, but she finally got the cold iron sword.
For Yipinju, there is nothing unaffordable, even if the cost is very high, it can still be sold for a higher price.
However, Cao Liang left a deep impression on the lady in purple, calm and calm, cunning and shrewd, and did not show kindness because of the lady in purple's tearful performance, and finally knocked her hard, which made her heartache and secretly remembered Cao Liang.
originally thought that after that encounter, there would be no more intersection with him, but I didn't expect that it had only been dozens of days, and he was actually involved because of the loose five stones.
"I didn't expect this loose five stones to come from his hand?" The lady in purple pondered secretly.
This result is indeed quite unexpected for her, before she was more suspicious of those wealthy and powerful families, she thought that only those big families have a deep background and strength, and there is a possibility of living with a product for a long time.
But I didn't expect that what finally surfaced was just a young man in his early twenties, and the Gaoling Marquis Mansion was far from being the kind of big family with a deep heritage, it was just a side branch of the Cao clan, no matter how much the purple-clothed lady thought about it, she would not associate Wushisan with Cao Liang's body.
The purple-clothed lady said in a deep voice: "Did you get the sample of the five stones?" ”
The big shopkeeper immediately presented a bag of Wushisan and said, "The slave has already sent someone to buy a few copies of Wushisan, please take a look at it." ”
Buying Wushisan is simpler than finding out the news, as long as you are willing to pay and find a random home, you can buy Wushisan.
The purple-clothed lady opened the paper bag and looked at it carefully, but she was not satisfied with Wushisan after all, and it was difficult to tell how different this free Wushisan was from her own Wushisan.
"How effective is this five-stone powder compared to the five-stone powder in our store?"
The big shopkeeper didn't dare to hide it, and said truthfully: "Madam, the slave has already tried it, and the efficacy and quality are indeed on top of our five stone powders. ”
The purple-clothed lady frowned slightly, Wushisan has always been the pillar product of Yipinju, in order to monopolize the market of Wushisan, the purple-clothed lady is also painstaking, looking for high-paying formulators to hire Wushisan, it can be said that the top formulators in Luoyang are concentrated in Yipinju.
Because of this, the five stone powder produced by Yipinju has the best quality and the best effect, which has won the recognition of those celebrities and scholars, and the five stone powder produced by Yipinju has been able to dominate the market.
And now, Cao Liang's Wushisan actually surpasses Yipinju's Wushisan in terms of quality, not only is Yipinju's monopoly position broken, but it is also very likely that it will come later and replace Yipinju's previous position.
Of course, this is something that the lady in purple cannot tolerate.
"Then where did Cao Liang get this formula of five stones?"
"This slave and maid is unknown, and the slave and maid also tried to send people to get close to the people of the Gaoling Marquis Mansion, but those people in the Gaoling Marquis Mansion are all very vigilant, obviously they have been taken care of by Cao Liang, and they have not been able to find out the truth at all." The big shopkeeper said helplessly.
In fact, he has used a lot of means, but he has always found nothing.
The lady in purple said with a solemn face: "We must find out how Cao Liang's formula was obtained, this is the most important thing." ”
"No." The big shopkeeper didn't dare to complain, and bowed down to receive the order.
The purple-clothed lady said again: "Go, find the warlocks who dispensed the medicine, and let them try to dispense the medicine according to this finished product, and see if they can make an identical five-stone scatter." ”
The big shopkeeper suddenly realized, or Mrs. understood, what was in front of him was not a ready-made five-stone powder, and brought those warlocks who dispensed medicine to them, and asked them to compare this five-stone powder, and they really didn't believe that they couldn't match the same quality five-stone powder.
"Madam Shengming, the slave will send someone to summon you."
Not long after, six warlocks dressed in Taoist robes were summoned, led by a warlock, about seventy years old, with white hair and silver beard, but he had a very immortal wind and dao bones, he was Gongsun Zheng, the chief dispensing warlock of Yipinju. The other five people are also dressed in Taoist robes, and they are of different ages.
When the six warlocks arrived in the lobby, they all bent down and saluted the purple-clothed lady: "See Madame." ”
The purple-clothed lady bowed her head slightly, reserved and noble, and said slowly: "Gongsun Daochang, I invite you to come this time, I want you to try to prepare a pair of higher-quality Wushi San, the sample is here, please refer to it." ”
The purple-clothed lady waved her hand, and immediately a maid stepped forward and delivered six portions of five stone loose trays to the six warlocks.
Gongsun Zheng shook his head, before going to check the sample of Wushisan, he looked left and right, and tasted it himself, his expression was very solemn, after reading it, he said to the lady in purple: "Madam, forgive the poor and incompetent, I really can't prepare a better Wushisan than this kind of Wushisan." ”
The purple-clothed lady said with a little disappointment: "Gongsun Daochang is a master of five stone scattering, no one in the entire Luoyang City can match, with the ability of a master, it is really disappointing that he can't prepare such a five stone scatter." ”
