Youzhou, Jixian County.

Liu Ba came to Cheng Yu's mansion in Youzhou.

"Please tell Lord Cheng, Liu Ba of the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce asks to see you."

Liu Ba said to the guards of the Cheng Mansion and handed over the gifts he was carrying.

The guards knew Liu Ba.

On the day of the opening ceremony of the Youzhou branch, the guard was responsible for protecting Cheng Yu, who participated in the opening ceremony.

"Please Mr. Liu, wait a moment, and I'll pass it on to you."

The guard took the gift from Liu Ba's hand and turned around to go back to the house.

"My lord, Liu Ba of the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce asks to see you, this is a gift he brought to you."

The guard finished speaking to Cheng Yu, and then placed the gift on the table.

"Well, let Zichu come directly to the study."

Cheng Yu knows that Liu Ba is calm, thoughtful and flexible.

This time, I may have encountered a problem that I can't solve.

"No!"

The guards took the order.

Liu Ba was still waiting in front of Cheng's mansion, and he didn't have any anxious look.

"Mr. Liu, let me take you to the study to meet him, please!"

Liu Ba followed the guards to Cheng Yu's study.

"Zichu is here, sit down."

When Cheng Yu saw Liu Ba, he beckoned him to sit beside him.

"Master Xie Cheng!"

Liu Ba saluted Cheng Yu, and then sat on the chair next to Cheng Yu.

"I heard that the profits of the Youzhou branch these days are not bad."

Cheng Yu sent a team of guards to maintain order at the opening ceremony of the Youzhou branch, and now the daily flow of people in the Youzhou branch is not decreasing but increasing, and the pair of guards are still in the Youzhou branch.

"Lord Cheng, I came here this time to need your help about the Youzhou Branch."

"Oh? Could it be that some commercial firms dare to take advantage of the Youzhou Chamber of Commerce? ”

Cheng Yu heard that Liu Ba was looking for him because of the Youzhou Chamber of Commerce, so he asked.

"Lord Huicheng, although the commercial houses that came to the Youzhou Chamber of Commerce to purchase were all paid in both money and goods, or paid a deposit in advance. However, I am worried that the goods bought by the commercial house may not only be sold in Youzhou! ”

Liu Ba said to Cheng Yu with a serious expression.

Cheng Yu also knows the seriousness of the matter.

This is Youzhou, and the bosses of the commercial houses bought goods in the Youzhou branch, but did not sell them to the people of Youzhou, so there should be only one possibility......

"Could it be that there is a business firm and Xianbei starting a business?"

Cheng Yu's expression and tone also became serious.

Liu Ba nodded, and then took out the recent product sales data of the Youzhou Chamber of Commerce.

Cheng Yu took it and looked at it carefully.

Then Cheng Yu found something abnormal, and then Cheng Yu asked Liu Ba:

"Zichu, this grain seed and iron farming tools are sold a little too much, right?"

"Yes, after the shopkeeper Zhao of the Youzhou branch of Xiahe noticed that the sales of grain seeds and iron farming tools were abnormally rising, he began to pay attention to the business house owners who came to the Youzhou branch to purchase."

"I don't know what Zichu and Shopkeeper Zhao found?"

Cheng Yu had basically decided in his heart at this time that these business house bosses, who had purchased a large number of grain seeds and iron farm tools from the Youzhou Branch, had secretly started business with the Xianbei people.

"Lord Huicheng, I found four suspicious business house owners in Xia and Zhao's shopkeeper!"

Liu Ba then told Cheng Yu in detail how he and Shopkeeper Zhao discovered these four suspicious business house owners.

“...... Therefore, after the shopkeeper of Xia and Zhao found that after the four business house owners purchased a large number of grain seeds and iron farm tools, they not only acted quickly, but also did not increase the number of grain seeds and iron farm tools in the hands of the local people! ”

"It must have been sold to the Xianbei people!"

After listening to Liu Ba's analysis, Cheng Yu had already determined that the four business bank bosses had colluded with the Xianbei people.

At the same time, a hidden path at the junction of Xianbei and Youzhou.

Two Youzhou merchants were handing over a wagon full of grain, seeds, and iron farming tools to a group of Xianbei cavalry.

The Xianbei knight at the head inspected the carriage, and when he found that the amount of grain and iron farming tools matched, he threw a small bag of gold and silver to the Youzhou merchants.

"Three days later, here, keep trading!"

"Okay, we'll be here for you in three days!"

After the Xianbei knight got on his horse, he said in a stiff Chinese dialect to the two Youzhou merchants.

When the two Shang Youzhou people heard that there was the next deal in three days, they also happily agreed.

After the Xianbei knight and his cavalry took away the carriage loaded with grain and agricultural tools, the two Youzhou merchants returned to the city along the path with gold and silver.

"Hahaha, you can earn five times the difference on this trip."

"Lord Tohan's blessing, hahaha!"

The two Youzhou businessmen chatted happily, and this time they did make a lot of money.

Counting this trip, they have already done business with Xianbei three times, and each time they have returned with a full load.

But what they don't know now is that there are a pair of eyes that see it all......

Youzhou Branch.

"Shopkeeper Zhao, I already know where they are trading!"

The guy who was sent by the shopkeeper Zhao to follow the two Youzhou businessmen found the shopkeeper Zhao to report the situation as soon as he returned to the Youzhou branch at this time.

"Already discovered? Good! Hurry up! ”

Shopkeeper Zhao heard that the guy had discovered the place of the transaction, and he was excited to let the guy tell him immediately.

The guy marked the trading addresses of the two Youzhou merchants and the Xianbei knights on the map, and then said another important information:

After three days, they will continue trading here!

After Shopkeeper Zhao heard the news, he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"I don't know how Lord Liu and Lord Cheng discussed?"

Shopkeeper Zhao thought in his heart, and was anxious to tell Liu Ba the latest news.

Inside the study of Chengfu.

Cheng Yu said to Liu Ba:

"Zichu, how much evidence do you have in your hands for these business house owners and Xianbei people?"

"Lord Huicheng, I haven't gotten any evidence of their deal yet. However, Shopkeeper Zhao has already sent a guy to keep an eye on them, and I think that after a while, I will definitely be able to find evidence of their transaction! ”

Cheng Yu heard that Liu Ba had made follow-up thoughtful arrangements, so he nodded reassuringly, and then said to Liu Ba:

"Zichu, once you find the evidence and location of the transaction between the merchants of Youzhou and the Xianbei people, don't act rashly!"

"After discovering the evidence and location, come to Chengfu to find me immediately, and I will bring the army over just in case!"

After Liu Ba heard Cheng Yu's arrangement, he saluted and thanked Cheng Yu:

"Lord Liu Baxie!"

After the two agreed, Liu Ba got up and said goodbye to Cheng Yu.

After coming out of Chengfu, it was already noon.

Liu Ba, who didn't care about eating, returned directly to the Youzhou branch.

As soon as Liu Ba returned to the Youzhou branch, he was called by the guy to the shopkeeper Zhao on the second floor.

"Lord Liu, one of the four guys I sent to follow the boss of the business house has already returned!"

Shopkeeper Zhao said excitedly when he saw Liu Ba, Liu Ba knew that the guy must have made an important discovery!
