"So there's another wave of people behind us in the background?"

"Yes."

"Master Sun, now is the time for a transaction, what if something goes wrong."

"I also thought of this, and this morning I invited Lord Siji over to discuss whether I could suspend the transaction first, but looking at the attitude of Lord Siji, I am afraid that there is no way to stop trading." Sun Zhang said helplessly.

"So what's going to be done?" The two of them sat in the hall, feeling very sad.

"Alas. It seems that it can only give it a go. Sun Zhang said helplessly.

"This must not be, Lord Sun, if it is revealed, then we will definitely die." Master Cheng dissuaded.

"Then what else can be done, we don't know who the person behind this is, and we don't know what the intention is, I don't think it's good. If they do anything behind their backs and are given those things by the Holy One, we still have no good fruit to eat. It is better to curry favor with the golden people and seek their refuge. Sun Zhang said.

"Lord Sun, why don't we go to Lord Siji tomorrow to discuss this matter and postpone the transaction for a few days, it is really too dangerous at this critical juncture."

"Lord Cheng doesn't know, just now Lord Siji came over, and I also discussed with Lord Siji like this, but Lord Siji disagreed."

"Why is that?"

"The volume of this batch of goods is a bit large, and it will arrive soon, if the transaction is stopped now, all the losses will have to be borne by our side, and if it angers the King of Gold, it will be a big deal." Sun Zhang said helplessly.

"In that case, I can only give it a go."

"Lord Siji gave me two days to consider whether or not to continue the transaction, and I will reply to him the day after tomorrow. If you don't go the day after tomorrow, the transaction will really stop. ”

"That's it, that's all we have to do."

"Lord Cheng, Sun will not receive you today, I have to deal with some tricky things first, and I ask Lord Cheng to forgive me."

"Master Sun, go and get busy, and let me know if anything goes wrong. By the way, Lord Sun, then I will go back to the capital the day after tomorrow and keep an eye on the movements of the imperial court for you, if there is anything, I will send someone back to send you information, and ask Lord Sun to be fully prepared. “

"Okay, that's it. After the transaction is successful, I will send someone to inform Master Cheng, and then pick you up to celebrate together. “

"Okay, it's a word, Master Sun can go and get busy, and the old minister will go back to his residence now to make some preparations."

After Master Cheng left, Sun Zhang went to the dock.

"I've seen Master Sun." The main pipeline of the terminal.

"Excuse me."

"I don't know why Lord Sun came here in person today."

Sun Zhang glanced at the people in the room and didn't make a sound.

"Let's all go down." Seeing this, the head of the dock ordered.

"How's business going here?"

"Back to Lord Sun, the transactions of the recent days are still in the past,"

"Is there any suspicious person there?"

"This, I don't usually pay much attention to it."

"From today onwards, we must strengthen our defense, remember to keep an eye on these people around us, once there are any strange people who appear repeatedly, we must be vigilant, the batch of goods traded with Jin Guo will not take long to arrive, we must do a good job of covering, and do not make any mistakes. Do you understand? Sun Zhang specially instructed.

"Small, understood."

"Okay, you can get busy first, I'll go home first."

Sun Zhang returned to the secret room in his study.

"Qinglian, come with me."

"Yes, my lord."

"Qinglian, you find a few reliable people to secretly transfer these gold, silver and jewelry to me, it is no longer safe here, and these things will also be transferred to me."

"Yes, my lord, I'll arrange it."

The reason why Sun Zhang did this was to leave a way back for himself, in case this time if the matter was revealed, Sun Zhang would take the opportunity to escape, in order to have a guarantee of funds, so Sun Zhang sent Qinglian in advance to talk about these things and transfer them to other places, maybe they will be used in the future, Sun Zhang left a back hand, and he would not take this move unless he had to.

"Lord Sun, someone is here."

"Wait a little later when it's a little late, you guys will secretly transfer these things out for me, remember not to show off."

"Yes, my lord, but where should we move to?"

"Do you remember the forest where the prince jumped off the cliff before?"

"The slave remembers."

"There are a few small cabins in the depths of the woods, which I built in my early years, but they have never been inhabited, you bury these things under the house, and then send a man and a woman to live as husband and wife, and you must let them take care of this treasure, and there must be no loss, which may become a guarantee for our survival in the future." The reason why Sun Zhang said this is because he took a big risk this time, the account book has been lost, and there is some other evidence, I don't know if the person who stole the account book is a person from the court, if he investigates deeply, he may find out what he colluded with the Jin people. If that time comes, it's important to save your life.

"Yes, my lord, Qinglian understands."

Sun Zhang sat in the study, watching these people walk out with things on their backs, and felt a little sad in his heart, whether it was life or death, it depends on whether the transaction can be successfully completed in a few days, if it succeeds, he will still be a powerful and powerful Lord Sun, if it fails, even if he does not become a prisoner, he will not have a very happy life, at least not as well as now.

"Lord Sun, it's not too early, the slave maid will wait for you to rest." Sun Zhang's maid said.

"You go out and let me be quiet for a while."

"Yes, my lord."

Sun Zhang was lying on the bed, meditating with his eyes closed, eager to think of a better way to deal with this matter, but it backfired, there was no other solution at all, if you don't know what you don't know, you can do it to the end, Sun Zhang secretly thought in his heart. fell asleep in a daze, Sun Zhang always felt that someone was staring at him, so he opened his eyes in a daze, and a familiar face came into view.

"Lord Wang?" Sun Zhang shouted in fright and sat up suddenly. Then he closed his eyes and opened them to find that it was just his hallucination, but he was scared into a cold sweat.

"Master Sun, what's wrong with you?" Qinglian asked outside.

"It's fine. Rest early. ”

"Yes."

Sun Zhang sat on the bed and rubbed his temples, and then lay down on the bed again.

"Looks like I'm hallucinating." Sun Zhang said to himself, wiped the layer of sweat oozing from his forehead with his hand, and then fell asleep again.

"Lord Sun, Lord Chen and others are here."

"Master Chen, what's the matter with them coming?"

"The slaves don't know, they just say they want to see the adults."

"Call them in."

"My lord, someone is coming."

"See Lord Sun."

"Get up, what is the matter with you coming here?"

"Lord Sun, look at this." Lord Chen took the things in his hand.

"Hey, this ...... It's not ......"

"Yes, Master Sun, early this morning, the little one found this lost account book in a drawer that is not commonly used."

"Great, I found it."

"Maybe the little one put it in at some point, and then forgot about it."

"Oh, I hope so."

"The matter has been reported to a large number of people, so the little one will go back first."

"Go back, this time you must put this account book away, and don't make any mistakes." Sun Zhang admonished.

"It is the adult, and the little one obeys the teachings of the adult."

"Qinglian, come with me to the study, quickly." Sun Zhang said anxiously.

"Yes, my lord."

The two of them trotted all the way to the study.

"Qinglian, quickly find out if there is an account book, and you are not allowed to let go of any corner in the study."

"Yes, my lord."

"Since the things that were lost by Lord Chen and the others have been found, I think my account book must be in this room."

Sure enough, as Sun Zhang expected, "My lord, I found it." Qinglian found the ledger that had disappeared for two days from the top floor of the bookshelf.

Sun Zhang hurriedly took it and looked through it carefully, and finally confirmed that this was the account book he had lost.

"Sure enough, it's in this study."

"My lord, what's going on?" Qinglian asked puzzled.

"At the moment, I haven't guessed the other party's mind."

"You go and inform Master Cheng and let him come over, saying that I have something urgent to find him."

"Yes, sir."

Sun Zhang really felt a little strange, who was it, he didn't steal his account book, but just changed the account book, which is really a little strange to think about, what is the other party's intention, Sun Zhang frowned and couldn't think of anything. Sun Zhang took the ledger in his hand and hid it in his bedroom, fearing that someone was stealing it.

"Someone, prepare a dinner, and Lord Cheng will come over later."

"Yes, Master Sun."

"Lord Sun. Master Cheng is here. ”

"Master Cheng, please take a seat."

"Master Sun, on the way here, I heard Qinglian say that your account book and what other evidence have been found?" Master Cheng asked suspiciously.

"Yes, they've all been found, but in a different place."

"Master Sun, I think this matter is a little strange." Master Cheng said a little mysteriously.

"Master Cheng, I also think so This matter is definitely not simple, my Sun Mansion is heavily guarded, outsiders can hardly enter, even if they come in, they can't enter my study, except for me, no one has the key in my study, especially after the last incident, the old minister changed the lock to a new one, and only I have the key, but in this case, there are still people who have entered my study and moved my account book, and the other party is by no means an idle person."

"Who will it be in this way, this time the account book is lost and it is a little elusive, if it is a person who comes to the court prepared, he can take the account book away silently, but he didn't, but changed the account book, is he reminding us of something?" Master Cheng analyzed.

"Do you think the court knows anything?" “

"No, Lord Sun, although the old minister is not in the capital, but the old minister's eyeliner has always been in the capital, if there is any trouble, the old minister will not know."

"It's not clear whether it's friend or foe, so don't act rashly."

"This person can easily enter and exit the Sun Mansion, and when he touches my account book, he must be careful."

"My lord, did you think it was someone from the Sun Mansion who did it?"

"It's not impossible, everyone looks very calm now, and nothing unusual can be seen. I will definitely investigate this matter secretly, I can't care so much about it now, and I will investigate this matter carefully after the transaction is completed, and I will go to the batch of goods that Lord Siji traded tomorrow to continue the transaction, and since the account book has been found, then continue to trade. Sun Zhang said.

"Well, this is the only way to do it now, Lord Sun must be more careful. I, Cheng, toast you. Master Cheng raised his wine glass and the two took a big sip.

"Master Cheng, can you return to Beijing tomorrow?"

"Return, even if Lord Sun's account book is found, the old minister will go back and keep an eye on it, and when the transaction is successful, I will come back to celebrate this with everyone."
