Chapter 836: Borrow something
Gu Su Liang's tone is indeed not very friendly, but Liu Rongchen seems to have been used to such Gu Su Liang since he was a child, and he still greeted him with a smile, "Brother Liang, don't be in such a hurry to drive me away, isn't this that the matter has not been resolved, if I leave now, won't all the spearheads be pointed at Ah Ran?" ”
Liu Rongchen is very good at finding the bottom of the stairs for himself, Gu Su Liang also knows that before the matter of the Liu family is resolved, his younger brother is always unsafe, he knew this way, when Gu Suran was ready to use Liu Rongchen's identity, he should have stopped him, but now it is okay, causing so many things for no reason.
Gu Yan felt that the current situation was quite good, after all, until now, there was no major incident, Liu Rongchen was willing to stay here, just stay, anyway, there were so many guards around Lingyin Pavilion, no one would want to assassinate him in this place.
"I don't want to worry about your family affairs, settle it quickly, we have other things to deal with." Gu Su Liang has not liked Liu Rongchen since he was a child, and it is the same now, although he has not done anything to harm his younger brother, he just doesn't want his younger brother to get too close to him.
After confirming that there was no problem here, Gu Chang went back to his room, originally wanting to take a good rest, but he didn't expect that just as he was about to lie down, someone knocked on the door of his room, Gu Chang was afraid that the people outside the door were in a hurry, so he hurriedly put on a dress and walked out.
It was no one else outside the door, it was Liu Rongchen.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?"
Looking at the appearance of 2's hippie smiling face now, Gu Yan also felt that there was probably nothing wrong, but Liu Rongchen usually came to look for him with Gu Suran, why did he come alone today?
"It's not a big deal," Liu Rongchen looked inside, "The prince is not here, can I tell you after I enter the house?" ”
Gu Yan didn't understand what he was doing, so he wanted to avoid everyone from saying it, but he still respected what he meant, anyway, he didn't dare to listen to any messy things on the boundary of the Yin Pavilion, and he had nothing to be afraid of.
"Let's just say it, don't beat around the bush."
"The princess is also a smart person, so I'll just say it, Rong Chen came here today because she wanted to borrow something from the princess, and I don't know if it's inconvenient." Liu Rongchen is usually hippie and smiling, and Gu Yan is naturally used to seeing more of it, but I don't know if he came to such a sentence without a head, what do you want to borrow?
"Borrow what?" Gu Yan didn't know what was wrong, when she said this, her heart was sudden, and she always felt as if something bad was going to happen, but the person in front of her was so calm, it didn't seem to be something important.
"I heard that when the princess ran a gambling house before, she once stored a batch of gunpowder in the gambling house, and the power can open mountains and gravel, I don't know if it's true?" Gu Yan really didn't expect that Liu Rongchen was talking about this as soon as he opened his mouth, although he was very curious about how he knew about it, but Gu Yan did remember that there was such a thing.
This gunpowder was found from Gu Linjiang's treasury at that time, Gu Yan didn't know if it would come in handy in the future, so she kept it all, and it was inconvenient to store it in the open place, so she secretly put it all in the secret room of the gambling house, except for herself and Gu Su Liang, in fact, few people knew.
"Yes, yes, but after a long time, I don't remember." Gu Yan didn't know what the person in front of him was going to do, so he didn't dare to agree too exactly, after all, this gunpowder was not a trivial matter, and that amount of gunpowder was indeed enough to open up the mountain and gravel, so it couldn't be easily given to others.
"The princess kept all that gunpowder, but is it still useful?" Liu Rongchen smiled all over his face, looking at Gu Yan in front of him, Gu Yan felt a little embarrassed, "It's really useless, it's just that it's been put for so long, it's hard to say if it will be damp, and besides, you have to tell me, what do you want this gunpowder for?" ”
The gunpowder that Gu Linjiang hoarded at that time was nothing more than to make weapons and the like, as long as he had those in his hands, no matter who became the emperor, he had to be afraid of himself, but unfortunately in Shen Zhongbai's place, he didn't use it yet, so he was emptied of his family and completely driven crazy.
This gunpowder matter is not trivial, and Gu Yan has to be cautious.
"The princess doesn't have to worry, it's just that the younger brother is a businessman, and recently bought a mine in a small place around the capital, after all, he is a businessman, and where he can save, of course, he must be saved."
What Liu Rongchen said is very reasonable, but of course Gu Yan is still a little dissatisfied with Liu Rongchen knowing that he has gunpowder, after all, this kind of thing, the fewer people who know, the better, since Liu Rongchen knows, it means that he must have investigated himself, this matter is so hidden that only a few of them know, after all, it is impossible for Gu Suliang to tell him, so in this matter, Gu Yan must be extra cautious.
"Proof, how do you prove that you did this with gunpowder?" Gu Yan doesn't talk too much nonsense, this matter is his own affection, not to give it is his duty, that amount of explosives, it is not an exaggeration to say that it can blow up the palace, and he can't be careless.
When Liu Rongchen heard Gu Yan say this, he also nodded with a smile, "I knew that the princess was cautious, but she didn't want to be so rigorous, how can this be called evidence?" The younger brother has the receipt for the purchase of the mine just now, and he has already prepared it. ”
Liu Rongchen never felt that Gu Yan was a foolish master, if it wasn't really useful, he wouldn't be able to find so much gunpowder for a while, Liu Rongchen would never find Gu Yan's body, and he could only tell Gu Yan about this, if it was Shen Qianshan or Gu Su Liang, I am afraid it would not be so easy to speak.
Gu Yan looked at the note that Liu Rongchen took out, it didn't look like it was fake, but while taking a look, she still secretly wrote down the names and shops on it.
"That's it, they're all friends, it's useless for me to keep this thing, you can take it, but the place where this gunpowder is put is a little hidden, I'll contact you after I find someone to arrange it."
Of course, Gu Yan can't completely believe Liu Rongchen because of a receipt, the identity of the seller, and this mine, he is bound to make a decision after investigating clearly, no matter what, it is impossible for Liu Rongchen to treat himself as a fool.
"Then I'll be bothering the princess."
When Liu Rongchen went out, Shen Qianshan was about to push the door in, and when he saw him coming out of Gu Yan's room, he was inevitably a little surprised, and after looking at Gu Yan, he also cast an inquiring look.
Gu Yan looked at Liu Rongchen's presence, it was difficult to explain, not to mention, Shen Qianshan didn't know much about this gunpowder, if he knew, he had hidden so much gunpowder, it was inevitable that he would have to worry about this and that, so he simply checked it himself, don't tell Shen Qianshan.
Liu Rongchen turned around and left, and after Shen Qianshan closed the door, he opened his mouth, "What did he come to you for?" Liu Rongchen often comes on weekdays, but this alone person is really rare, and coupled with the unhappy look on Gu Yan's face, he is even more puzzled.
As soon as Gu Yan entered the door of Lingyin Pavilion, she began to be a little abnormal, originally thought that it was because of the tiring back and forth, so it was like this, Shen Qianshan still felt a little self-blaming, just now I went downstairs to find Gu Huai'an to get some soothing incense, which delayed a little time, but I didn't want to talk to Liu Rongchen After talking to Gu Yan, her face was so bad.
Gu Yan's face was poor, of course, because she didn't like the feeling of being investigated, although she must have been investigated more than once before, but no one would blatantly say that she had investigated herself, so Gu Yan felt even more uncomfortable.
"It's okay, just borrow something from me."
"Did he borrow money from you? Why are you so upset? After Shen Qianshan thought about it carefully, he felt that something was not right, not to mention that Gu Yan was not the kind of person who was greedy for money and cautious at all, Liu Rongchen was a merchant in Jiangnan after all, how could he be short of money in his hands?
Gu Yan didn't have any good excuse to prevaricate this matter, Shen Qianshan found a step for herself, and she quickly used this excuse to continue, "Yes, he is short of silver, and Ah Liang has always looked at him unpleasantly, of course it is impossible to borrow him, so he found me." ”
Gu Yan is really not good at lying, Shen Qianshan can also see it at a glance, it's just Liu Rongchen's matter, after all, it's not a big deal, if he has the time to take care of this, he should still figure out the situation on Shen Zhongbai's side as soon as possible, the two armies are fighting, and the strength of the army is always a big problem, so he has to pay attention to it.
"If you have something to do, let Qi Bai and them follow."
Shen Qianshan's enterprise was very worried, after all, he wanted to take the opportunity to contact Huang Hao last time, but there were still people under Song Yu in the disaster relief team, and he couldn't move easily, and he couldn't leave without permission, and when he took Gu Yan out, he really didn't want her to worry about her own affairs, so he didn't take the opportunity to find Huang Hao.
It is not very convenient to exchange letters between the capital and the outside, so Shen Qianshan did not dare to write and send letters without authorization, for fear of being intercepted by Shen Zhongbai's people halfway, and he had not yet figured out how many people were under Shen Zhongbai's hands.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll be fine."
However, Gu Yan really thought that people should be asked to see what this Liu Rongchen was going to do.
