Chapter Eighty-Nine: Investigation of the Case
On the second day, Ye Ningxiang disguised herself as a man, accompanied by Wei Xun, and personally went to the Fuheng Chamber of Commerce, which was on the cusp of the storm, to find out.
The Fuheng Chamber of Commerce, which is full of problems, does not seem to have become decayed and deserted because of its several changes of hands. On the contrary, the hall of the Fuheng Chamber of Commerce was full of businessmen from different places in the early morning, including Ye Ningxiang and Wei Xun.
At this time, Ye Ningxiang stuck two mustaches, and deliberately tied her breasts tightly, and painted her originally fair face with a little flesh-yellow dye, looking like a middle-aged uncle in his forties.
Wei Xun didn't do much retouching, just tied his hair and held a folding fan in his hand, looking like a rich man.
This Fuheng Chamber of Commerce was busy but not chaotic, Ye Ningxiang and Wei Xun didn't wait long in the hall before welcoming the person who received them.
"I'm sorry, I've kept the two of you waiting, there have been a lot of things going on in the Chamber of Commerce recently, please forgive me if you have any neglect!" At this time, the person who came to greet them and apologize to them was none other than Gu Liancheng, the actual person in charge of the Fuheng Chamber of Commerce.
When she first saw Gu Liancheng, Ye Ningxiang felt that the man in her twenties, with clear eyebrows and even some bookish eyes, seemed to have seen her somewhere, which made her feel familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a while.
Probably looking at Ye Ningxiang in a trance, Wei Xun responded with a smile on the side: "Your Chamber of Commerce has a world-renowned reputation, it is an honor to be able to do business here and Uncle Xiahe, how can I blame you!"
Hearing Wei Xun speak, Ye Ningxiang also came back to her senses, sat upright, and said seriously: "This gentleman, surnamed Ye, was originally a small businessman, and he has made a fortune in the past two years. I came here to ask the Fuheng Chamber of Commerce to inject capital into me to expand my business. ”
"Okay, you two, please. Gu Liancheng smiled, and while getting up, he led the way in front very politely.
Gu Liancheng seemed to deliberately lead Ye Ningxiang and Wei Xun to explore the Fuheng Chamber of Commerce, obviously it was very close to the living room where he was talking about business, but he took Ye Ningxiang and the others around and around, and it took a long time to reach the destination.
And Ye Ningxiang and Wei Xun, who were bent on finding clues, naturally didn't notice the knowledge on the way, and spent their whole body and mind observing the people and things around them. However, to the disappointment of the two of them, there was no abnormality in the Fuheng Chamber of Commerce.
Probably because there are too many guests, the room used to negotiate with the guests is not so spacious and not so luxurious.
Entering the room, Gu Liancheng led Ye Ningxiang and Wei Xun to the couch, and then very elegantly poured tea into the celadon teacup and handed it to Ye Ningxiang and Wei Xun respectively.
"The living room is simple, and I still look at the sea. ”
Ye Ningxiang picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Mr. is a bit blamed for saying this. ”
Gu Liancheng also responded with a smile: "What Mr. Ye said is true. Dare to ask Mr. Ye, how much do you want our chamber of commerce to invest in your business? What is the detailed plan?"
Oh no, she Ye Ningxiang has never really done business, and she doesn't know anything about the art of management, how should she answer such a question?
This Wei Xun was like timely rain, and when Ye Ningxiang was embarrassed, he calmly took out a dark yellow silk silk from his arms, which was also covered with the official seal of the household.
"This is the property right certificate of my business, sir, see how much money Fuheng Chamber of Commerce can invest in us at most?"
"Oh, I've brought all the title deeds! yes, yes. Gu Liancheng deliberately omitted the second half of the sentence: You two have done a lot of this play!
Gu Liancheng pretended to be very serious, and carefully calculated for a long time before saying, "One thousand taels of silver." ”
"Hehe, this Fuheng Chamber of Commerce is really refreshing, you can rest assured, the money invested by the Fuheng Chamber of Commerce today will be returned to the Fuheng Chamber of Commerce according to the proportion of investment. Ye Ningxiang said while laughing, but the smile quickly paused on her face.
"Sir, I heard that there have been some bad rumors about this Fuheng Chamber of Commerce recently, but I don't know if the rumors are true or not. ”
Gu Liancheng seemed to have been waiting for Ye Ningxiang to ask the right question for a long time, and answered everything very happily.
"My surname is Gu, and I am the head of the Fuheng Chamber of Commerce, and everyone here calls me Boss Gu. Gu Liancheng took a sip of tea, his face was calm and natural, and continued: "The Fuheng Chamber of Commerce has changed hands several times in the past few months, and the current owner is His Royal Highness King Ning, who has left the country. ”
"Mr. Gu, do you know the reason for the change of ownership of the Chamber of Commerce?"
"I don't know. However, the boss of the Fuheng Chamber of Commerce before the change of ownership suddenly suffered from a vicious illness half a month ago, and now he died violently. And the person who transferred the Chamber of Commerce to Ning Wang heard that the investment had failed and had hanged himself the day before yesterday. If you want to know more, you won't know. ”
Listening to Gu Liancheng's answer, the road of the boss of this chamber of commerce has been blocked, if you still want to get any information, you can only ask Mu Xize, who is very likely to be involved, this move is quite clever.
Although she was full of doubts about Gu Liancheng's answer, Ye Ningxiang couldn't find any evidence to prove that he was lying for a while, so she could only shift the topic to investment again, so as not to make Gu Liancheng suspicious of her.
During the conversation, a person dressed as a low-level guy entered Ye Ningxiang's room without even knocking on the door, and then put it in Gu Liancheng's ear and didn't know what to say. I saw that after Gu Liancheng listened to the man's words, his face turned white in shock, and his originally calm face was also broken by strong uneasiness.
"Two brothers, Gu has something to do today, and I will talk to you about the investment of the Chamber of Commerce in detail another day. After speaking, Gu Liancheng almost ran out of the room.
Ye Ningxiang was curious about what happened to Gu Liancheng, and she was so nervous, so she didn't stop for a moment, pulled Wei Xun out of the Fuheng Chamber of Commerce, and carefully followed behind Gu Liancheng.
I thought that Wei Xun would go back first, and she would follow Gu Liancheng by herself, but she didn't expect that before Wei Xun could be taken away, she would lose Gu Liancheng with her.
Obviously, he was not far in front of him a moment ago, and in the blink of an eye, this Gu Liancheng disappeared without a trace as if the world had evaporated. What's even more strange is that there are only pedestrians on the street, it is impossible for Gu Liancheng to blend in the crowd without being discovered, there is only one possibility, this Gu Liancheng is also good at kung fu, and his martial arts are outstanding, so he did not expose a single inch in front of Ye Ningxiang.
It was also at this time that Ye Ningxiang suddenly had a flash of inspiration and remembered where she had seen this Boss Gu before. It was Tong Mu Xize who had just returned from inspecting the barracks, and Mu Xize went to Fuheng Money Village to take out all his silver coins, and she happened to see this person when she was waiting in the hall.
At that time, she thought that Gu Liancheng was the young master of this money village, and she would not have anything to do with Mu Xize, but now that she thinks about it, the relationship between Gu Liancheng and Mu Xize is probably extraordinary. At that time, she still had a little admiration for Mu Xize's approach, but now in retrospect, she feels that all this is a game, and Mu Xize's generosity is just to make up for the hole that was accidentally broken in this game.
King Ning's mansion was full of guards, firmly imprisoning Mu Xize in the mansion, and Mu Xize was also very quiet and had been obediently staying in his bedroom.
It's just that at this time, the guards outside his residence all fainted to the ground silently, and a young man who looked like a noble son walked into Mu Xize's room with light steps.
"Childe, something tricky has happened. ”
"What could make Liancheng take such a risk to meet me?"
"Boss Ren, who escaped earlier, suddenly broke into Dali Temple and surrendered!"
Hearing this, Mu Xize's expression also became serious, and he said, "How is Qi Sheng?"
"Safe and sound. ”
"That's good, you send more people to keep an eye on him, and you must not let him appear in front of the world until this case is closed. ”
"Yes. ”
Back at Dali Temple, Ye Ningxiang heard an exciting news. The boss of the Fuheng Chamber of Commerce suddenly came to Dali Temple to surrender, and more importantly, he also brought the documents that he secretly traded with Qi Sheng and retained, with these documents, the punishment of Qi Sheng was just around the corner.
However, the fly in the ointment is that Boss Ren is not trading with Qi Sheng himself, but a middle-aged man named Qi Shan, and this Qi Shan is the housekeeper in Qi Sheng's mansion. If Qi Shan can be summoned and let him personally admit that Qi Sheng is the instigator behind it, this hard-working case of embezzlement of military salaries can be closed.
Although it was late at night when Boss Ren's interrogation ended, Ye Ningxiang still entrusted the Criminal Department to issue a wanted warrant for Qi Shan, so that throughout the night, the streets of Jing'an were full of Yulin soldiers searching for Qi Shan.
Under such a net-like search, at noon on the second day, a small team of Yulin soldiers escorted Qi Mountain, who was tied up by five flowers, to Dali Temple.
The housekeeper Qi Shan was short and thin, and he also looked timid and cowardly, so he couldn't connect him with this earth-shattering case. Probably never seen such a battle, Qi Shan was trembling all the way, and he couldn't even walk steadily, obviously the weather was cold, but he was sweating profusely.
Wei Xun knocked heavily on the wood, and without beating around the bush, he asked directly: "Qi Shan, is it true that you have made huge money transactions with Boss Ren of Fuheng Villa many times in the past two years?"
Startled by the startled sound, Qi Shan became even more flustered, knelt in front of Wei Xun and Ye Ningxiang with a plop, and almost cried and said, "Yes, it's true." ”
"How can you, the head of the Soldier's Mansion, earn tens of thousands of taels of silver in two years?" Wei Xun suddenly had a gloomy face, and his face showed a fierce expression, "Say, who borrowed your name to trade with the boss?"
Qi Shan looked very embarrassed, struggled in his heart for a long time, and finally slowly opened his mouth, "Yes...... His Royal Highness King Ning. ”
"What did you say?" Ye Ningxiang was a little out of control when she heard the word Ning Wang, she quickly grabbed Qi Shan's collar and asked very sternly, her voice also became sharp unconsciously, and even a little terrifying.
This is too different from what she thought in her heart, she originally thought that the mastermind of this matter was Qi Sheng, and Mu Xize took down the Fuheng Chamber of Commerce, just to save Qi Sheng's life. Unexpectedly, the whole case of embezzlement of military salaries had nothing to do with Qi Sheng, but it was planned by Mu Xize, who was taking care of the sick soldiers with her at the time and donating property to the soldiers!
Ye Ningxiang's heart had already turned over the river, and the old grudges came to her heart again, with a strong killing intent in her eyes. She should have killed him a hundred times ago, and saved all these troubles. It is simply a mistake to let him live rather than die, and to take away the power he cherishes the most little by little, because people like him, as long as they live, will continue to plot and cause harm to others.
Knowing that it was difficult to control her emotions at the moment, Ye Ningxiang said with difficulty: "I'm a little uncomfortable, go back and rest first, and Lord Lao Wei will help you with the next thing." ”
