Chapter 769: Go and find the vastness
The two brothers Liu Shi Commercial Bank in Green Water City, Liu Yide and Liu Yixin received an urgent letter from Linzhou City shortly after they left Green Water City.
Quickly scanning the contents of the letter, Liu Yide casually handed the letter to his younger brother Liu Yixin beside him.
Liu Yixin also quickly skimmed the contents of the letter, and the two brothers glanced at each other.
In the letter just now, the two Liu brothers got the news that the branch of Liu's firm in Linzhou City has been robbed many batches of goods in the past month.
In this era of rampant cultivators, no matter where they lived, it was always happening that the goods of merchants were robbed.
In order to avoid this kind of thing, merchants hire mercenary guards or train their own guards, and merchants usually adjust the guard force according to the value of the goods to balance the cost.
However, if the strength of the guard is simply selected based on the value of the commodity, it is a move where there is no silver, which is tantamount to telling the outside world that the value of the goods is huge, which increases the risk of the commodity being robbed.
As a result, there was a kind of game between the merchants and the robbers, and the merchants would from time to time resort to various means such as not escorting high-value goods, reporting with other caravans for warmth, and repairing the plank road in the dark to confuse the robbers outside.
If you are really unlucky enough to encounter robbers and cause the goods to be robbed, it is a common thing.
Now that the two brothers Liu Yide and Liu Yixin are not in Linzhou City, the goods of the trading house have been robbed, and the shopkeeper Yang naturally wants to report the situation to the Liu brothers.
For the sake of timeliness, the most convenient flying pigeon book is used.
But in the following period of time, the goods of Liu's firm were frequently robbed, and Shopkeeper Yang never got a reply from Green Water City.
Until this time, several important materials specially ordered by the uncle and the second master were also lost, and Shopkeeper Yang couldn't hold it anymore, so he had to ask the mercenaries to send the news back to Green Water City.
Liu Yixin took the lead in asking: "Big brother, do you think there are people in the business house who are haunted?"
"Probably not, Linzhou City is now watched by Shopkeeper Yang, and the guys in Linzhou City are the most trusted people in our firm. Everyone earns a lot every year, and no one should do this kind of thing. What's more, most of the profits of the trading house come from the dew of the hundred herbs, and the loss of some goods is not of great value to the trading bank, and the more the men of the trading house, the more they should know this. ”
Liu Yixin also agreed with the eldest brother's statement: "Well, that's right, but it's a pity that I lost what Xiaocang wanted this time." ”
Soon Liu Yixin speculated again: "Could someone be deliberately targeting our firm?"
Regarding Liu Yixin's speculation, Liu Yide also had the same idea: "Maybe the letter is very big, for a month, we have not received any news delivered back with flying pigeons, which is a bit too coincidental, and someone should have stopped the news on the road." It's just that I can't figure it out, rob and rob, why do you have to spend so much effort to block the news?"
"Are you afraid that we will retaliate, and you can make a few more money after blocking the news?"
In Linzhou City, anyone who knows a little bit of the inside story knows that the Liu family business house is related to the royal family, so ordinary robbers will not easily choose to act against the Liu family.
Now that you've done it, it's normal to have such concerns.
Although Kong Xuanwei is now one of the shareholders of Liu's firm, there is a situation in Liu's firm, and it stands to reason that Kong Xuanwei should go to Kong Xuanwei for help.
But why Kong Xuanwei became the major shareholder of Liu's firm, as a close confidant of the second uncle, the shopkeeper Yang naturally understands, and he can't always trouble Kong Xuanwei.
Unless Kong Xuanwei came to the trading house herself, Shopkeeper Yang would not have a chance to see her.
After learning about the situation in Linzhou City, Liu Yide was not very worried about this matter, and said lightly: "No matter what these people want to do, this time they are afraid that they will touch the stones." ”
Speaking of this, the two brothers looked at each other again, and they both smiled.
Obviously, the same thought popped into their heads.
Liu Yixin immediately picked up the pen and wrote a letter, the general content of which was to tell the shopkeeper Yang that Cang Mang had gone to Linzhou City, and he should go to the business house soon, and he would discuss anything with Cang Mang.
If Cang Mang didn't go to the firm, let the shopkeeper Yang look for him in Linzhou City, anyway, there are only a few places that Cang Mang will go, it shouldn't be difficult to find.
Seal the envelope and hand it to the mercenary in front of him: "I'm still bothered to bring this letter back to the shopkeeper Yang of Liu's firm." ”
The mercenary took the letter and didn't ask much, and quickly turned to leave.
Looking at the back of the mercenary leaving, Liu Yixin sighed: "I can only blame these robbers for their bad luck, and they happened to meet Xiaocang to go to Linzhou City." ”
Liu Yide also smiled.
If Cang Mang goes to Linzhou City, the little princess will definitely know, which means that the little princess will also know about the situation of the business house soon.
With Kong Xuanwei's temper, even if Cang Xuan didn't ask her for help, Kong Xuanwei would most likely take the initiative to participate in this matter.
Once the power of the royal family intervenes, it will not be easy to find a few robbers?
The consequences of these robbers can already be imagined.
As for whether the firm owes the little princess a favor again, does this need to be cared about? Isn't there a vast there? There is such a thing as a favor, just hand it over to the vast in one go.
"Okay, the affairs of Linzhou City will be handed over to Xiao Cang, and the next cooperation with the Seven Feelings Sect will have to hurry up. ”
Cang Mang left the Seven Feelings Sect, then the contact with the Seven Feelings Sect after that would most likely be completed by the Liu Family Trading House, with the status of the Seven Feelings Sect, this is not a very difficult thing.
Returning to the Palace of Linzhou City, the chat between Cang Mang and Kong Xuanwei also came to an end.
I learned from Kong Xuanwei that the third prince Kong Chengze was in retreat and cultivating, so I was afraid that he would not have the opportunity to visit in a short period of time.
"You come with me. Kong Xuanwei pulled up the sky and walked out.
Cang Mang had to follow behind, and let Kong Xuanwei pull him through a corridor and came to Kong Xuanwei's study.
In the study, there are all kinds of paintings, landscapes, and figures.
"I drew these pictures, how about it?"
Cang Mang is a person who doesn't know how to paint, but Kong Xuanwei invites him, and Cang Mang has to appreciate it seriously.
The eye falls on a landscape painting, the picture is very simple, it is a weeping willow by the river, and there is a yellow bird hunting a cicada among the branches.
Looking more closely at the oriole, I felt the oriole's wings flapping, and with the flapping of the wings, the whole painting actually moved.
The wicker began to blow in the wind, and the river next to it began to flow.
"This!"
Cang Mang suddenly came back to his senses.
Kong Xuanwei on the side pursed her mouth slightly: "I only watched it for a while, it seems that my cultivation is really not enough!"
