Chapter 244: Black Silk Brocade

"Shopkeeper, I want to ask you something."

The shopkeeper said gently: "Madam, please speak!" ”

"I want to know, where will the black silk brocade of your village be sold? In addition to your black silk brocade, which is sold in your village, can it be bought in other places? ”

The shopkeeper hesitated, looked at me and said, "Madam, what do you mean?" ”

I was straightforward and stated my reasons: "Don't hide it from the shopkeeper, this concubine is the princess of the Mingne Dynasty, I came to you today to investigate some things about this black silk brocade, because this concubine is now investigating a case, and the evidence in it is this black silk brocade, and the black silk brocade is probably the only one you can sell in this Wuxuan City, right?" This concubine needs to investigate, where are the black silk brocades in your village sold, and where are the purchase channels? In the entire Mingne Dynasty, apart from what you sell here, where else can you buy this black silk brocade? ”

The shopkeeper looked me up and down, and immediately saluted: "Please also ask the princess to forgive me, I have offended a lot before." ”

I smiled and picked up the shopkeeper and said, "The old shopkeeper doesn't have to be polite. ”

The shopkeeper trembled and said: "Hui Princess, it's like this, this black silk brocade is a unique cloth in our store, and it has only been woven by the old decay and the insiders in the past two years, because the weaving process is cumbersome, and the color is not bright, so it is generally only sewn men's clothes will be bought, and because the fabric is well-made, the color of the double-sided is different, and it can be used as two colors, so it is deeply loved by famous families." This black silk brocade was originally only sold in the old shop, but because in the past two years, more and more people have bought it, and the old man has made an appointment with a few relatively honest cloth houses, and they help sell the black silk brocade in various places, and the old man gives them thirty percent of the profits, but he does not give them full authority to sell, but only consignment in these cloth villages. ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but sigh, the humble and polite old shopkeeper in front of me really has a set of rules for doing business, and he knows how to control the management at this time. I asked, "How many of these deals do you have with you?"

The old shopkeeper continued: "There are four of our Mingne Dynasty, and there are only two outside the Mingne Dynasty, and the rest are still being negotiated."

I wrinkled my eyebrows and muttered, "So much? It's even harder to investigate! "Because only by investigating the whereabouts of those black silk brocades in the palace, it is a bit far-fetched to prove that Helan Mingyue is the person who gave the eldest brother Jinpa, just by the whereabouts of this piece of cloth, after all, this black silk brocade is not unique to the palace, and it can be bought on the market. I had a glimmer of hope, as long as the sales of this black silk brocade were not much, I could still find out the specific whereabouts. But now there are seven cloth shops sold and Ruyan cloth shops, and the number of sales must not be small, so it is even more difficult to investigate the detailed whereabouts of these cloths.

Thinking of this, I was suddenly a little discouraged, after all, time waits for no one, my current investigation is in a race against time, such a huge sales volume, I can't quickly investigate clearly, then this clue is going to be broken.

The old shopkeeper looked at me with a solemn look and asked, "Princess, don't worry, you just said that you want to know where all these fabrics are sold in this store?"

I immediately came to my senses and hurriedly replied, "Yes, I need to know who the cloth ended up selling to."

The old shopkeeper said: "This should not be difficult, we have a clear sales destination for each batch of fabrics, and we can tell which cloth is sold in which cloth by means of the cloth, as for the specific person sold to, it should not be difficult to check." ”

My eyes lit up, "Old shopkeeper, are you saying that as long as I bring you the fabric, you can find out who the fabric is sold to?" “

The old shopkeeper smiled kindly and said: "There should be no problem, because the black side of each batch of black silk brocade fabric has different dark lines, ordinary people can't distinguish it, and we can't see the abnormality, but we can rely on this to tell whether this fabric is the fabric we sell here, and which branch it is sold from, and the branch will also have a record of who it was sold to, so as long as there is fabric, you should be able to find out who this cloth is sold to." “

I couldn't help but sigh: "Old shopkeeper, you are so powerful, how did you think of using this method to make a distinction?" Such a high-end anti-counterfeiting technology, I didn't expect you to use it now. “

The old shopkeeper looked confused: "What is anti-counterfeiting technology?" ”

I was so excited that I slipped out of my mouth, and explained with a smile: "How did you come up with such an effective way to distinguish your own cloth?" ”

"Oh, so that's the case, because this black silk brocade has been imitated before, but the quality of the cloth is very bad, someone found our store, I have a hard mouth, I had to admit it, and then I thought of such a method, if there is any problem can be found in time, no matter in which link there is a problem, I can quickly understand, and solve it in time."

I said, "I see, it's much easier, but if I can't bring the fabric directly, is there any way to know where the fabric is sold?" ”

The old shopkeeper pondered for a moment, "This has to be investigated slowly, because now our black silk brocade is not the fastest selling cloth, but it is not a minority in the total amount, and it is very difficult to investigate." ”

"Old shopkeeper, I have a reluctant request, can you teach me how to distinguish this black silk brocade? How can I tell the difference in this fabric? ”

The old shopkeeper smiled mysteriously and said: "Actually, this is something that can't be passed on, after all, I'm worried that someone will forge the black silk brocade, but the old man's intuition tells the old man that the princess must not be that kind of person." Therefore, Lao Yu made an exception today to tell the princess how to distinguish it, as long as the princess can get the cloth, she can see whether the cloth is from this cloth village. ”

"Concubine Ben is really grateful, don't worry, Concubine Ben will definitely not tell others about this." I said it sincerely, and the old shopkeeper smiled and nodded.

In the current situation, there is a way is better than no way, I briefly learned how to distinguish the cloth with the shopkeeper, then did not stay longer, and after thanking the shopkeeper, I returned to the palace with a pretty eyebrow.

The first thing I did when I returned home was to write a letter to my father and second brother, asking them to find a way to secretly and carefully identify the shape of the brocade and the pattern on it when viewed by the backlight, and then reply to me immediately.

Seeing that there was no one around, Qiao Mei asked me in a low voice: "Miss, do you think the eldest young master can survive safely this time?" ”
