Chapter 517: Killing Three Birds with One Stone

Han Mo spent half an afternoon, occasionally walking around the yard, occasionally entering the dice throwing house to see the excitement, and some people even shouted for Han Mo to gamble on two, Han Mo just smiled and shook his head.

When it comes to gambling money, Han Mo didn't do it when he was in the East China Sea, but at this time, these brothers gambled very little, and in Han Mo's opinion, there was no excitement at all, so he naturally wouldn't join in the fun.

Red Sleeves sat on a stone bench in the corner of the courtyard, closing her eyes and recuperating, this woman seemed to be a stone, and her indifference sometimes almost made people ignore her existence.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled in the courtyard, and the bamboo shadows swayed.

But he heard a sound of footsteps, but Han Mo saw an old man in his fifties coming in from the front, the smile on his face was extremely kind, and behind him, it was with Steward Song and the others that all showed a look of smugness on their faces.

Han Mo narrowed his eyes, saw Steward Song leaning close to the old man's ear and whispering a few words, and then pointed to Han Mo's side, the old man smiled slightly, stepped forward quickly, and arched his hand towards Han Mo: "Old man Guan Mu!" ”

Han Mo looked at Guan Mu for a while, and then arched his hand and said, "I've seen the big shopkeeper!" ”

Guan Mu smiled and said, "Please come with the old man!" Without saying much, he walked to the main house of the courtyard, took out the key, opened the copper lock, and entered the door, Han Mo was not lazy, and followed Guan Mu into the house, and Guan Mu closed the door easily.

Steward Song watched Han Mo enter, turned around and said to a few of his fellow men: "You are all going to bite me to death, maybe a guy like Shen Laosan will still reason for those two bastards!" ”

"Don't worry, the steward has the support of the big shopkeeper, and this time he will definitely pick the skin of these two guys!"

They whispered, but they didn't see that the red sleeves in the corner of the courtyard had already broken open their eyes, and those beautiful eyes, with a cold gaze, glanced at these guys.

……

Han Mo followed Guan Mu into the house, this is the main house of the courtyard, there is a main hall and an inner room, Guan Mu led Han Mo into the inner room, and made sure that the doors and windows were closed tightly, so he arched his hand to Han Mo and said with a smile: "Didn't ask for your name?" I heard them say that you have a jade plate in your hand, I wonder if it is true? ”

Han Mo knew that Guan Mu would have to help him with many things in the future, and if he wanted to cooperate tacitly, he had to show sincerity at the beginning, take out the jade plate from his arms, and put it in Guan Mu's hands, "Take a look!" ”

Guan Mu took the jade card carefully, looked at it very carefully, and finally returned it to Han Mo, and after Han Mo put away the jade card, Guan Mu's face that seemed to be always smiling immediately showed a solemn look, and he arched his hand and said: "With the jade card in hand, it is my own family!" ”

Han Mo smiled and said, "The big shopkeeper...... Don't doubt the authenticity of the jade plaque? ”

Guan Mu Zhengse said: "The goods are genuine, and there will never be fakes." Shaohe was able to hand over the jade plate to you, thinking that he had great trust in you, so he ...... Your Excellency cares about me, and you can fully trust me! ”

Han Mo looked at Guan Mu's expression solemnly, the look in his eyes was extremely sincere, and he sighed a little in his heart, and asked, "Big shopkeeper...... Can you tell that this is Shaohe's jade plate? ”

Guan Mu showed a hint of a smile, "My Guan family trading line, there are three jade plates, Yan Guo is Shaohe, Feng Country is the old man, the authenticity of the jade card, outsiders can't see it, the old man can still see it." After a pause, he added, "Every jade plate is close to the body, and it is impossible for anyone to steal it...... Since Your Excellency came to the Wind Country with the jade plate, you must have a lot of things to do, and you need Guan Mu's help, so ...... If you have any instructions, Guan Mu will definitely do your best to help! ”

Han Mo didn't say much, took out the letter that Guan Shaohe gave him from his arms, and handed it to Guan Mu, Guan Mu took the letter, looked at the envelope, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it was written by Shaohe himself!" Seeing Han Mowu standing by himself, he hurriedly said, "Please take a seat!" ”

After the two sat down, Guan Mu immediately opened the envelope, took out the letter, and looked at it carefully.

He only glanced at the envelope before, and he was very sure that it was written by Guan Shaohe, which really made Han Mo stunned, but in an instant, Han Mo figured out that there must be a special mark on the envelope, which outsiders couldn't see, but the people inside them were clear at a glance, and because of this, Guan Mu could instantly see that it was written by Guan Shaohe.

Han Mo immediately understood that there must be a complete set of secret signals and means of exchanging secret letters between the Guan trading houses, which can also reflect that the Guan trading houses are definitely still responsible for intelligence work.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the account book that Yan Xueji handed over to him, which was the secret account book of the He family, which recorded the merchants of the He family scattered everywhere, those merchants naturally could not be compared with the Guan trading house, but it was also a large intelligence force, and it seemed that it was necessary to take this force under its banner as soon as possible to form a secret intelligence network.

Guan Mu looked at it very carefully, and soon, he took out the fire fold from his waist, ignited the fire fold, and burned the letter and the envelope cleanly, then stared at Han Mo and arched his hand: "It turns out that Your Excellency is ...... Well, rest assured, I already understand the meaning of Shaohe! ”

Han Mo knew that he already knew his identity, so he arched his hand and said, "The big shopkeeper can call me Xiaoshui, and everything will be taken care of by the big shopkeeper!" ”

Guan Mu pondered for a moment, as if he remembered something, and said, "Xiao Shui, is there no one in the team who knows your identity?" ”

"Nope!" Han Mo said softly: "Except for one of my subordinates! ”

Guan Mu nodded, "Your identity is extraordinary, you must be cautious." After a pause, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Song Jiao and others, what are you going to do?" ”

"What do they want to do?" Han Mo knew that Song Jiao was the Song manager, so he couldn't help but ask indifferently.

"Say that you are a bandit disguised as a trade agent, and ask the old man to take *sweat* medicine in the wine at night to fascinate you, and hand it over to them to take back to Yanjing tomorrow!" Guan Mu touched his beard and smiled lightly: "But according to the old man's guess, if you really want to do this, you are afraid that you will die due to an accident halfway, and you will definitely not return to Yanjing!" ”

In the understatement, Guan Mu is well aware of Steward Song's conspiracy.

Han Mo sighed: "It's very vicious!" ”

Guan Mu smiled slightly and said, "Xiaoshui, you have a special identity, in order to avoid suspicion, I want you to play a scene with me!" ”

……

Steward Song and the others waited in the courtyard for a long time, but they didn't see Guan Mu and Han Mo come out, and they couldn't help but feel apprehensive in their hearts, and the smug look at the beginning gradually disappeared.

Shen Laosan was also gambling in the house, and he had seen Steward Song and others hugging Guan Mu in a menacing manner, and then Guan Mu even called Han Mo into the house alone, and a sense of uneasiness rose in his heart.

He also had no intention of continuing to gamble, just staring at the closed door of the main house and waiting, after a long time, he finally saw Guan Mu leading Han Mo out, and his heart was even more nervous, and he reminded the others loudly, and everyone listened to his reminder and looked towards the courtyard.

Steward Song saw Guan Mu come out, and even saw Han Mo's calm expression, and there was even a faint smile on his handsome face, and he immediately felt that something was wrong.

Shen Laosan unconsciously came out of the house and stood in front of the door, and the others saw that something was wrong, and they all stopped gambling and crowded in front of the door.

Everyone knows that the relationship between Han Mo and Steward Song is very deep, and many people along the way are still thinking about what kind of scene will appear here, and when they see Guan Mu coming forward, they all feel that there is a drama to watch.

In this world, most people are mortals who live in the world, and they have a natural preference for watching the excitement.

Seeing that Guan Mu still had a kind smile on his face, Steward Song couldn't help but step forward and arched his hand: "The big shopkeeper ......!" ”

Guan Mu stared at Steward Song and said with a faint smile: "Steward Song, you mean...... Is this person a bandit? After speaking, he pointed to Han Mo.

Steward Song was a little surprised when he saw Guan Mu say it in public, but he had to send it, and at this time, there was no need to hide it, "The big shopkeeper, it's him, our trading house doesn't have an agent surnamed Shui at all, the jade plate in this guy's hand must have been stolen and conspiracy, and the big shopkeeper should not be deceived by his rhetoric." The convoy was missing a hundred taels of silver, which he and his accomplices had stolen! ”

Seeing Guan Mu's kind smile, several guys behind him suddenly came to their senses, and said one after another: "Big shopkeeper, we can testify that the goods were stolen by them." ”

Seeing this, Shen Laosan hesitated for a moment, and was about to come forward to testify for Han Mo, but saw Han Mo smiling and shaking his head, the handsome face was calm, Shen Laosan saw Han Mo's smile, and for some reason, he was relieved.

Guan Mu waved his hand and motioned for everyone to calm down, and then said in a deep voice: "You may not know him, but I will tell you who he is now." This water agent is the nephew of the old man...... His real name is Guan Shui. This time, I came with the team, one is to help me do business together, and the other reason is to investigate the loss of goods. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone opened their mouths wide and was surprised.

Steward Song and the others were as dead as ashes, while Shen Laosan and the others who had received Han Mo's favor were overjoyed, as if those dart masters who were making fun were nothing more than a small surprise.

Shen Laosan was really happy, he was extremely careful to hold Han Mo's thighs along the way, although Han Mo was the agent of the trade house at a young age, so he also had slight doubts, but he recognized Han Mo's identity as unusual, at this time Guan Mu said, and suddenly the mystery was solved, since he was Guan Mu's nephew, that is the person of the Guan family, and belongs to the family members of the big owner of the Guan family, although he is young, but he also shows the all-round talent of civil and military affairs along the way, such a character, with a jade plate in his hand, is not a strange thing.

Steward Song's face was like ashes, and he broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that he had proposed to Guan Mu to design and capture Han Mo before, but how did he know that this young man was Guan Mu's nephew, not only did he form a mortal enmity with Han Mo at this time, but even Guan Mu was offended, and there would definitely be no good thing in the future.

Sure enough, I saw Guan Mu's gentle face suddenly become solemn, and said in a deep voice: "In the past few years, the goods sent to the Wind Country have always been missing once or twice a year for some reason, and your Song Steward can find out the culprit of stealing the goods every time, I have always been very strange about this matter, it is not that every guy who has just come to the Wind Country to deliver goods has the courage to steal the goods, right?" Steward Song, your methods are very inferior, but after all, you have worked for my Guan Clan Trading Company for so many years, and there are some things that we don't delve into. This time, the main purpose of my nephew Guan Shui's trip is just to come to the Wind Country to help me do business, and as for the investigation of the theft of goods, it is only by the way. If you are honest this time, you are afraid that this matter will be forgotten, but you colluded with the inn in private, stole the goods, and even framed Guan Shui...... Steward Song, you won't admit these things, right? ”

Steward Song sweated like rain, and his whole body was a little weak.

"Although you are a buddy in the capital, you are a member of the Guan Trading House after all, and the old man, as the shopkeeper of the Guan Trading Company, is also qualified to punish you." Guan Mu said slowly: "Sitting in prison for self-theft and framing others is even more ill-intentioned...... Hehe, Steward Song, you are really good. Come on, take them all down for me! ”

As soon as his words fell, several Fengguo trading house guys rushed up from the courtyard, one of them was tall and big, and he stepped forward to hold down Chief Song and his four henchmen.

The guys of the Fengguo Guan Clan Trading Firm, they are all carefully selected people, not only have flexible brains, but also have strong bodies, and are very good at fighting, although several guys under Steward Song are also very strong, but the injuries that were taught by Han Mo and Red Sleeves last time have not fully recovered, and their bodies are not very neat, and in this case, how dare they resist, and they were easily subdued.

Guan Muyou asked these guys to tie their hands and feet, and then said in a deep voice: "The state has national laws, the family has family rules, and my trading house also has the articles of association of the trading house." And you are in prison for stealing, and you are falsely accusing the good, and you are given twenty lashes to each of you, according to the custom of our trade...... Hit me hard! ”

Several guys have already taken out the whip, it is a long whip of animal skin, and it has been soaked in water, and it is whipped to Steward Song and others without a head or brain, this beast skin whip is extremely harmful, many people in the wind country are using this kind of animal skin whip as a weapon, a whip down, it is a broken skin and flesh, and there is obviously a deep blood mark.

Steward Song cried wolf howls, but the whip was ruthlessly whipped, and in just a moment, two guys were whipped on the ground and couldn't move, and Steward Song rolled his eyes and almost died.

Steward Song bullied the weak on weekdays, and several of his henchmen were even more embarrassed, and they were whipped at this time, which was really happy, and Shen Laosan and the others couldn't wait to step forward and beat them in person.

Han Mo put his hands behind his back and stood behind Guan Mu, looking at this old man who looked extremely kind when he smiled, but he had some admiration for this old man.

Don't look at the casual handling of this one thing, but it kills three birds with one stone.

First of all, he naturally established his prestige, indicating that the punishment of the Guan family trade was clear, and secondly, he claimed that Han Mo was his nephew, so that everyone's previous suspicions were gone, so that everyone was free from suspicion of Han Mo's identity, saving a lot of trouble, and finally taking this opportunity to send a thin gift to Han Mo, which was equivalent to being angry for Han Mo.

Kill three birds with one stone!

The little old man looked amiable and smiling, but when he handled things, he was decisive and neat, without dragging his feet, Han Mo could only sigh in his heart: "Jiang is still old and spicy!" ”
