Chapter Ninety-Five: Goodbye to Chengfu (5000 words)
I just thought that the guy had no rules, and now I blame the guy for not reporting in advance.
"What, Steward Xiao's face is not good-looking, is it not the right time for me to come?" Gu Bei said with a smile, casually picked up the account book on the table and flipped through it casually.
"Owner, don't dare, don't dare." Steward Xiao didn't dare to say anything, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, the whole workshop belonged to the owner, including him, he also worked for the owner, and he didn't dare to blame him for giving him a few guts.
"Steward Xiao, nothing happened in the workshop last night, right?"
"Last night? It didn't happen! Why does the proprietor have this question? Steward Xiao thought for a moment and asked.
"It's okay, just ask casually, Steward Xiao, you're busy with you, don't worry about me." Gu Bei threw the account book aside, sat on the side boredly, and saw that Steward Xiao was a little restrained standing aside, and motioned him to continue to be busy.
At this time, Xiao Ran walked in, glanced at Steward Xiao, approached Gu Bei's ear and said, "Uncle, everything is arranged, only Dongfeng is owed." β
Gu Bei nodded, motioned for Xiao Ran to sit down together, time passed little by little, his eyes closed, and he didn't know whether to think or recuperate.
Steward Xiao stood on the side, panting cautiously, for fear of disturbing the owner's contemplation, although the owner had an explanation, how could he leave the owner aside and take care of himself.
Now that Chen Dongjia is not there, he can just curry favor with the owner at close range, and when the owner is happy, if Chen Jinwang is suspicious, he may be promoted to replace Chen Dong...... Chen Jinwang is not impossible, Steward Xiao's eyes radiated a dazzling light, and his eyes looking at Gu Bei were even hotter.
As the saying goes: a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier. He heard that Chen Jinwang was also the owner of a bookstore before, and when Gu Dongjia went to submit articles, he was rejected. Later, after Gu Dongjia's new book was sold, he saved enough silver taels, got Tianxiang Dew, and took Chen Jinwang under his command regardless of his previous suspicions, and returned half of the red every year. After Tianxianglu caused a sensation in the city, Chen Jinwang's identity also rose, and he entered and exited the mansions of high-ranking officials and nobles, and suddenly became the most successful businessman in Yingtianfu. Now who doesn't know Chen Jinwang in Ying Tianfu, even the officials have to give him a few thin noodles, and it's not that there is a squatting god standing behind him.
You must know that at that time, half of the shares, with the current market assessment, at least increased dozens of times, and the annual dividend was more than 100,000 taels of silver, and it would be even higher in the future, and Gu Dongjia never neglected him.
It's a pity that Steward Xiao just can't understand why Gu Dongjia didn't hand him over to the government after the silver theft incident, it was clear that Chen Jinwang was the most suspicious...... If he is handed over, he has the best chance of ascending to the throne.
For a while, let Steward Xiao secretly sigh, both Chen and Xiao!
Chen Jinwang's counterattack made him understand that not only must he know how to seize the opportunity, but he also has to hold a big thick leg, and there is a big thick leg in front of him. So Steward Xiao was even more attentive and took out his best tea leaves and brewed them himself. The table was also full of exquisite pastries bought by the guys, Xiao Ran ate it in a big gulp, and he was very satisfied, and he was even more satisfied with the steward of the surnamed family.
Seeing that the owner had been thinking, Steward Xiao couldn't help but be a little disappointed, seeing Xiao Ran's joy of eating, he kept comforting himself in his heart, he couldn't hold his thighs, and it was okay to please the leg hair on his thighs, after all, the leg hair blew the pillow...... Well, it's the wind in your ears, and maybe there will be unexpected effects.
At this time, there was a shout outside the door, which startled Steward Xiao, thinking that it was a guy who had no rules, and was about to go out to scold, when a general walked in and said, "Uncle, there is nothing abnormal in several carriages today, and there is no accident on the road of carriage No. 3." β
"Impossible!" Gu Bei woke up from his contemplation and said, "Nothing happened in the No. 3 carriage? β
Then, the general said: "No, there is another thing that is very strange, the villain found that the two people who drove the car were not yesterday?" β
"Substitution?" Gu Bei looked at Steward Xiao and asked, "Steward Xiao, are the people who drive the delivery of the car fixed every day, or are they arranged in turns?" β
"The owner, the people who drive the car are fixed." Steward Xiao, who was standing on the side, heard the owner's question, answered honestly, and remembered what the guy reported before, and his intuition told him that there must be something related here, so he hesitated for a moment and said: "The owner, a small incident happened before you came, and there are seven or eight guys who will work in the future today, including two delivery guys." β
"What?" Gu Bei stood up suddenly, his eyes fixed on Steward Xiao, "Then why didn't you say it earlier, is this a trivial matter?" Normally it can be said that it is a small thing, but now it is an extraordinary time, and this is a big thing. β
Steward Xiao knew that he had created a big disaster, his face was pale, and now he couldn't hold his thighs, he couldn't hold his leg hair, and he still left an unfavorable impression in the owner's heart.
Gu Bei scolded a few words, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it is estimated that it is useless for you to say it, they are planning to evacuate." β
"Uncle, but how did this news leak?" Xiao Ran opened his mouth and asked, you must know that the people involved are all loyal Baifu generals, and they are his brothers who can intersect with their lives, and he definitely doesn't believe that his subordinates have leaked out.
Gu Bei was also thinking, who leaked it? The White House will not be possible. Xiao Ran? He's just a foodie. Himself? How is it possible, if you lose your own silver taels, do you still help the black hand steal your own silver taels? Chen Jinwang lives in Baifu, and he can't go out for the past two days.
So who is it? There are so many people who know, Gu Bei remembered someone, Gu Cheng? Then he shook his head, he is a scoundrel, it shouldn't be him, how can he be a splash with such deep scheming.
Could it be that I thought too much about it, and no one leaked it? Or has the black hand found the stalker, or...... Gu Bei shook his head, he could only be found out by luck.
"Forget it, don't think about it, it's good that the silver two are not lost, as for the black hand, he will shoot in the future, we will go and find the silver ingot now!" Gu Bei patted Xiao Ran on the shoulder and asked him to gather people.
Finally found the silver two in the warehouse where the Tianxiang dew was stored, and the black hand hid the silver ingots in the warehouse, Xiao Ran looked at the silver piled up in the box containing the Tianxiang dew, and asked: "Uncle, why is it so easy to find it, the black hand has been planning for a long time, and actually put the silver two in the workshop warehouse?" β
"It's called darkness under the lights, and the black hand believes that the most dangerous place is the safest place." Gu Bei said simply.
Xiao Ran nodded as if he understood, arranged for the personnel to count the silver taels, and loaded them into the car.
After counting, there were only a few thousand taels of silver missing, and the lost treasury silver was found in this way.
Gu Bei knew that it was not over, and he became more and more vigilant in his heart, the mastermind behind the scenes had been planning for so long, it was not a simple theft, there must be a lot of power behind it, and Gu Bei found that this force was very short of money.
Nervous tension for two consecutive days, after returning home, after handing over the silver to Bai Luoshi, Gu Bei ran to the house and fell asleep.
Treasury silver has been recovered!
Thank God!
Chen Jinwang only felt that the haze in the sky had disappeared, hugged Xiao Ran and cheered loudly, crying with joy.
Once this treasury silver is recovered, the mountain that weighs on his head will collapse with a bang, not only will he clear his suspicions, but he will not be abandoned by his uncle, and he can also go home.
During the two days in the house, although the food and accommodation were comfortable, and the maid of the owner never neglected him, he still felt that it was not as comfortable as at home, after all, he was a homesick person...... All right! He misses his wife, thinks about his wife's warmth, and thinks about ......
It took less than two days for the treasury silver to be lost and recovered, and there were very few people in the know, after all, if the silver was lost, Gu Bei would not let people hype it, after all, this was a slap in the face, a slap in his handsome little face.
Although Gu Bei likes to slap his face, it is a slap in the face of others, and he doesn't want his face to be beaten.
Gu Xiaobei, who loves his face like his life, is talking about him, a young man who eats exclusively on his face.
But for people with bad intentions, this situation is something they absolutely don't want to see, such as the black hand hiding behind the scenes, and the planned Yunge.
In the exquisite private room on the second floor of the painting boat. Lian Meng sat at the piano table, wearing a loose hair, which was even more plump and enchanting, with her hair scattered casually over her shoulders like ink and green silk, and her charming eyes were a little lazy. Pity is born with charming bones, and a seemingly unintentional action has some seductive allure.
Near the edge of the window in front of the dream, there was a boy dressed in cyan, who was banging on the wooden window with both hands, making a muffled sound of "dong dong". A soft shout came from his mouth: "Idiot, a bunch of waste." β
"I advised you to let go a long time ago, but you didn't believe it." The white hand of the green onion plucked the strings, and the corners of his mouth let out a chuckle of eating.
"What are you proud of? Are you happy for your wild man? After venting, Yun Ge regained his light breeze and elegance as always.
"Idiot!" Pity Meng never stopped plucking the strings, her red lips opened lightly, and she spit out two words. Staying with this nominal 'fiancΓ©', she always felt a strange discomfort, whether Yun Ge has a bearing or demeanor, whether it is speaking or every move, he may be a perfect man in the eyes of outsiders, but in the eyes of Mercy Meng, it is one word: fake!
Heartfelt fake!
"This Gu Bei is interesting." Yun Ge smiled, his expression was relaxed and indifferent, and he didn't care at all about being scolded as an idiot.
Yun Ge had his own ideas, he came to Ying Tianfu's first plan, and he saw that he was about to succeed, but he didn't expect it to be cracked by him, he wanted to see what was so good about this Gu Bei.
Yunlai Inn.
A young girl in a pink skirt was walking around the room, with a hint of anxiety in her steps. The girl has a delicate melon seed face, phoenix eyes, eyes like stars, long hair tied into a phoenix bun, wearing a pale green hairpin, skin like white jade, a pair of eyebrows frowning from time to time.
There was a young man sitting on the circle chair next to him, the young man was quietly wiping the long sword in his hand, ignoring the girl shaking in front of him, the long sword exuded a sharp edge, and the white light flashed on the sword from time to time, and he knew that this sword was extraordinary at a glance.
Seeing that the young man was only concerned about the sword in his hand, the girl in the pink skirt stomped on the lotus foot in dissatisfaction and let out a soft snort, expecting to attract the young man's attention.
However, the boy seemed to have only a sword in his eyes, and his hands kept moving, carefully wiping them over and over again. After a long time, he put the sword into the scabbard, looked up at the girl, his eyes were full of pampering, and said slowly: "Little sister, how many times have I told you, with our identity, we can't visit Baifu yet, have you forgotten your father's explanation before leaving?" β
The young boy and girl are the two brothers and sisters Yu Jianxuan and Yu Jianqi who have had a two-sided relationship with Gu Bei.
"I haven't forgotten!" Thinking of his father's explanation before coming to Ying Tianfu, Yu Jianqi was deflated.
'Everything is at the mercy of the elder brother's arrangement, and you must not make your own decisions, otherwise you will ......'
"But cousin, he ......"
Yu Jianqi tried to say something, but was interrupted by his brother, only to hear Yu Jianxuan lower his voice and say, "No, as a ...... We only have tasks at the moment, nothing else matters. β
Yu Jianqi understood that Brother Ah was reminding her not to mislead the public because of personal gain, and not to forget the oath she made at the beginning.
admired Brother Brother's caution even more, he was worthy of being an ace agent of the Xia Dynasty, if it wasn't for her father telling her, she wouldn't know that the usually silent Brother was actually from the Great Xia Dynasty......
"By the way, brother, you've been following the target recently, and you don't know if the target is moving?" Yu Jianqi asked curiously.
"Nope." Yu Jianxuan shook his head very dryly.
Now Yingtianfu can be described as an undercurrent, not only are spies on the ninth floor of the Turks secretly active, but there are also traces of the White Flower Sect in the city.
When the storm is shaky! What kind of sparks will Ying Tianfu collide with! Yu Jianxuan looked up at the beam.
He didn't know, he only knew that his mission was to keep an eye on the target and gather any information about the target.
Early in the morning, Gu Bei asked Qing'er to load the silver two into the carriage, he was going to visit Cheng Mansion today, there was such a big thing, although the silver two had been found, he still had to meet Cheng Hou in person, tell him what had happened, and just send the dividends of the previous month together.
According to Gu Bei, Cheng Fu is one of the shareholders of the firm, and Cheng Wudi is the Marquis of Xia State, so he has to be responsible for the shareholders. After all, Chen Jinwang was single-handedly pulled by him, and it was Chen Jinwang's negligence in the theft case that the silver was stolen.
In the eyes of others, Chen Jinwang is his person, and they will think that he is Gu Bei's guard and stealing. Although the relationship between Guogong Mansion and Cheng Hou Mansion has always been very close, maybe Cheng Wudi will not think like this, but what if someone has a heart to take a walk with some rumors? At that time, as long as Cheng Wudi has the slightest suspicion of him, there will be a gap between the two families, which will affect his future plans, after all, he is still too weak, so he will never allow any misunderstanding.
Gu Bei sat in the carriage, Xiao Ran rode his horse to accompany him, a carriage followed closely behind, and there were seven or eight generals scattered around the carriage, and the carriage swayed in the direction of Chengfu.
The housekeeper of the Cheng Mansion got the master's order, and accompanied his eldest man to wait at the door, and after a while, more than ten big men escorted the middle two carriages and drove over.
As soon as the groom pulled the reins, the carriage had not yet stopped, Gu Bei had just jumped off the carriage, and when he saw Cheng Dalang's mountain-like figure crashing over, Gu Bei was so frightened that he hurriedly dodged, and his dodge posture was embarrassing.
"Young Master Gu, Master Hou is already waiting in the hall, and the old slave will go to lead the way." Seeing that Cheng Dalang was still coming to hug him, the housekeeper came up at the right time to relieve Gu Bei.
Gu Bei glanced at the housekeeper gratefully, and hurriedly said: "Uncle Han, you can call me Gu Bei, don't call me the young master, I'll let people move in these silver taels." β
"Young Master Gu, you go in with the old slave first, and someone will take care of the silver two." After speaking, the housekeeper Uncle Han walked in front of the head and led the way.
As soon as he entered the hall, Gu Bei's heart jumped, what a big battle!
Gu Bei thought to himself that this was just an ordinary visit to the family, how could Cheng Wushu engage in such a big battle, could it be that Cheng Lao Fox hadn't forgotten the last meeting and wanted the Cheng family brothers to beat him?
It's impossible to think about it, Cheng Lao Fox is also a Hou Ye no matter what he says, so he won't do such a tasteless thing, after all, he is also his junior.
Could it be that Cheng Lao Fox changed his mind? Want to force him to become a son-in-law?
But it's not impossible, after all, it's too good, as a representative of the outstanding young people of Ying Tianfu, Gu Bei feels that it is necessary to keep an eye on it, and once the situation is not right, he will smear oil on the soles of his feet.
I saw that the Cheng family was sitting in the first position, accompanied by a long-bearded old man with a white beard, and the chairs at the left and right ends were full of people, and even the ten brothers of the Cheng family were only standing.
"Haha, virtuous nephew, you're here." On the first Chengjia Mountain, uh, Cheng Wushu laughed loudly, the sound roared like thunder, and the ears of the people who shook were buzzing.
Phew, where is it to ask me to come, do you want to ask the silver is coming! Gu Bei slandered in his heart, his face did not move, he showed a smile like a spring breeze, and arched his hand: "Uncle Shi, the little nephew is polite!"
"No courtesy, no courtesy, please sit down!"
Gu Bei was stunned, please take a seat? He looked left and right, and the seats on both sides were full, let him sit there?
Shibo, can we still play happily together, don't tease me, Gu Bei wants to cry without tears.
People work hard to give you silver, don't give you tea to drink, forget it, don't give a seat, you don't give tea and don't give a seat, and let people sit down?
Are you kidding?
It's so black!
Gu Bei looked at the first Cheng belly black, that's right, it was Cheng belly black, seeing that his black face was full of seriousness, the big eyes of the copper bell hid a sly smile, and the left and right ends were full of people he didn't know, and he also looked at this scene with a smile in his eyes.
Gu Bei understood, Cheng Beihei just wanted to see him make a fool of himself, and wanted to avenge the last time, uh, it was to avenge the last time.
Who told him to call people 'father-in-law', the daughter of a bad family?
Gu Bei's eyes were purring, thinking about countermeasures, and suddenly a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, which was caught by Cheng Beihei, who was sitting upright, and suddenly made Cheng Beihei have a bad premonition.
I saw Gu Bei squeezing his eyes hard, uh, he couldn't squeeze them out, he rubbed his eyes with his sleeves, and his eyes were red, but he didn't squeeze out a single teardrop.
More than ten people sitting in the hall looked at this scene curiously, and even Cheng Wushu stared at it with wide eyes, not knowing what kind of reputation this kid was doing.
Gu Bei was still rubbing his eyes vigorously, his eyes were red, and he still didn't have tears, so anxious that Gu Bei wanted to scold his mother, at a critical moment......
Gu Bei's left sleeve blocked his face, wiped some saliva with his right hand, applied it under his eyes as a teardrop, and then put down his sleeve and cried out with tears streaming down his face: "Yue ...... Oh, Shibo, it's all the fault of the little nephew, it's the little nephew who is sorry for the little artist...... Oh, I'm sorry for the ......."
