Chapter 385: The Man Behind the Scenes

A minute to the left and right of the door, two white servants came in with a middle-aged man, pushed him to the ground heavily, and reported: "Master, the prisoner has been brought!" ”

Sun Shaozong raised his hand and motioned for the two to step aside, and then looked down at the so-called 'profiteer', but saw that this man was about in his early thirties, with dark skin, a thin body, and a coarse cloth coat wrapped around his body. {with}{dream} Ρ‰{suimΠ΅ng][lā}

The 'profiteer' fell heavily, but he didn't dare to cry out in pain, he hurriedly got up, and grabbed the ground with his head: "The old man Qingtian is clear, the villain has always obeyed the law, and he has never done anything to hurt the heavens and reason!" ”

Syllable~

Without waiting for Sun Shaozong to speak, Jia Yu slapped the table and scolded angrily: "You bulliger! The swagger and deception have been deceived to the master, how can he dare to say anything 'law-abiding'?! ”

The black and thin profiteer saw Jia Yu at this time, and he was stunned for a long time, and then called out again: "What is Master Jia talking about?" The villain is bold, and he doesn't dare to deceive you, Master Jia! ”

"You still dare to say that you didn't lie to me?!"

The more Jia Yu spoke, the more annoyed he became, so he simply stood up, walked closer with his stomach shy, kicked the black and thin merchant to the sky, and pointed at his nose and scolded: "What kind of color are those five hundred Tao Zhu Jinbei, don't you count them in your heart?" He even dared to fool Lao Tzu, saying that he could make a fortune by saying that he could make a fortune! ”

When the black and thin merchant saw him with such horizontal eyebrows, he didn't dare to get up, but only turned his back to the sky, and the turtle also stretched his neck and cried: "The big man really wronged the villain, the golden shell has now risen to five taels of silver, and the villain offers four taels of silver, won't he be able to make a fortune by turning his hands?" ”

"As for the ...... condition"

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

Before the words fell, Na Jia Yu kicked up again, and scolded in his mouth: "Now that the matter is over, how dare you continue to talk nonsense? Don't dare to shut up the old man! ”

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

And the brothers of the Sun family listened to it on the side, but they couldn't help but sneer again and again, don't look at Jia Yu's scolding of a profiteer now, but if you really want to count 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 good at breaking it in person, so after he kicked a few more times, Sun Shaozong said: "Uncle Shi, please be calm and don't be impatient, and let me ask him a few questions?" ”

Jia Yu knew that he had exposed his bottom line, and his face didn't feel a little hot, but after all, he was a person who was used to 'playing tricks', and when he turned his head, he said in a dignified manner: "Virtuous son-in-law and virtuous nephew don't want to listen to his nonsense!" This guy is clearly 'shoddy', and he insists on selling me the shells for ten taels of silver! ”

The word 'insistence' is really wonderful!

Sun Shaozong is not poor now, but he can't imagine how an ordinary businessman with no background can 'insist on selling things' to the lord of Rongguofu.

And what Jia Yu said at the beginning, it seems to be fifteen taels of silver and a golden shell, right?

His heart was speechless for a while, but after all, he slept with his daughter, and Sun Shaozong didn't care about these things with him, so he smiled helplessly: "Uncle Shi, don't worry, what I want to ask is not these trivial matters, but I am just a little curious about the origin of Tao Zhu Jinbei." ”

As soon as Jia Yu heard this, his wrinkled old face suddenly let out a light, and he urged one after another: "Yes, yes, yes!" Hurry up and ask the origin of that Jinbei, let's send someone to collect it ourselves, wouldn't it be better than being a second-class dealer?! ”

Since that audit and a lot of stolen money has been confiscated, this guy 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.

And let Jia Yu say this, it seems that asking about the origin of this 'Tao Zhu Jinbei' is just to take away other people's wealth, which makes Sun Shaozong's heart feel a lot of relief.

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

It turns out that the so-called 'Tao Zhu Jinbei' is true that it is said to be a thing in the Western Regions, but it is not as rumored that it is produced in a foreign wilderness thousands of miles away, but from the four guards outside the Saiwai thousands of miles away.

Located on the plateau in the northwest border, the land is vast and sparsely populated and dominated by herdsmen, although it is also the territory of the Great Zhou, but few people care.

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

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

It wasn't until last summer that a certain trader had a whimsical idea to sell tea bricks, and by the way, he bought a batch of shells with written characters from local herdsmen, and named them 'Taozhu Jinbei', trying to sell them in the capital.

Who knew that this thing became famous in a war, and was respected by many gentry, and in just two months, its value increased dozens of times - some of them can distinguish the content of the text, and it has increased thousands of times!

As soon as the news spread, there were merchants who knew the roots, and rushed to the left of the 'Cuowenbu Lake' to sweep the goodsβ€”this black and thin merchant was one of them.

"The villain was afraid that he would delay the market for too long, so he only accepted four or five hundred pieces of good condition, and casually got more than a thousand inferior goods back."

When Sun Shaozong heard this, he asked again: "How much of this is the 'Tao Zhu Jinbei' with words?" ”

"If you go back to your adult, the real 'Tao Zhu Jinbei' can be said to be one in ten thousand!"

I heard the black thin merchant say depressedly: "I got these small two thousand pieces back, and the ones that gave birth to words are only three pieces, and they are only vague and have a text shape, which is not worth a lot of money at all." ”

Seeing that Sun Shaozong seemed to have a look of disbelief, he hurriedly explained: "The local herdsmen also often save shells with words as rare things, so the surnamed Hu only collected more than 100 pieces at once - but he probably didn't expect that 'Tao Zhu Jinbei' would be so valuable, and he sold it cheaply at the beginning, and now I'm afraid it's too late to regret it." ”

Speaking of this, the thin black merchant couldn't help but gloat a little.

In this way, this 'Tao Zhu Jinbei' can really be called a scarce resource.

Sun Shaozong pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Now this 'Tao Zhu Jinbei' has a price a day, not to mention the medium grade, even those defective products have risen to four coins of silver, is this not you and other traders working together to coax it up?" ”

"Lord Qingtian is clearly decisive!"

The black-handed man slammed his head on the ground and complained: "Others don't know how, but the villain is just a businessman, how can he have such ability?" ”

"Originally, I just wanted to make a windfall with the help of 'Tao Zhu Jinbei', but later the villain found that the real Jinbei was not easy to find, and he was unwilling to return empty-handed, so he tried to collect some ordinary goods, wanting to make some hard-earned money."

"Who knew that after arriving in the capital, the villain found that many vendors coincided with me, thousands of ordinary goods were piled up in one place, but where were they sold?"

"Helplessly, everyone had to sell those golden shells to others at a price of a few pennies."

"Because the people who bought Jinbei seemed to know each other, the villain kept an eye on it at that time, and only sold those inferior goods, but secretly left five hundred pieces in slightly better condition."

"Sure enough, after the summer, don't say it's an ordinary golden shell, and 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 it......"

Speaking of this, the black and thin merchant looked depressed again, and peeked at Jia Yu.

Someone is really manipulating behind this matter!

Sun Shaozong's spirit was lifted, since there is a 'mastermind behind the scenes', the Criminal Names Division will investigate the matter thoroughly, and it will be much more justified.

I just don't know who is so big, in a short period of time, it has created such a momentum, and even some gambling houses in the capital can endorse this Jinbei.

"I'll ask you!"

Sun Shaozong was figuring out the identity and background of the 'mastermind behind the scenes', but Jia Yu hurriedly asked: "Now if I send someone to collect some golden shells near the lake and sell them, is it too late?" ”

"This ......"

The black and thin merchant hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said: "The number of this golden shell is limited, not to mention that most of the gold threads on the shell are disorganized, and they are not any golden shells at all. ”

Jia Yu suddenly sat back in his chair like a deflated ball.

Sun Shaozong saw that Jia Yu had lost interest, so he ordered Bai Gong to take the black and thin businessman to the Criminal Name Division in order to re-transcribe the confession, and by the way, also confess to Lin Delu and others, and focus on tracking down the identity and background of the 'mastermind behind the scenes'.

Qiang~!

At this time, I could hear the gong ringing outside, but it was this morning's "Sun Gong Case" that was about to officially start.

The first to appear on the stage was not the protagonist of 'Sun Shaozong', but Liu Xianglian and a few scholars, seeing that they sang three or two sentences out of the background, and began to suppress the 'quarrel' again.

Everyone was attracted to attention, and at the same time, they all waited for Jiang Yuhan to open his voice.

Who knew that at this moment, the door 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 can he still have time to talk to himself?

Sun Shaozong didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed Jiang Yuhan out of the private room, but saw Jiang Yuhan reach out and grab his wrist, and said excitedly: "Something happened, Brother Sun!" Zhu Er, who played the carpenter, didn't know who stabbed him to death! ”
