The Gu family firm is located not far from the entrance of Tokyo South City, it is a large shop that occupies almost the average five shops, and this is only where their head office is located, that is, there are two other shops in Bianliang City, as for the state capitals in the world, regardless of east, west, north and south, the Gu family also has a branch to open.

It can be said that in terms of wealth and power, there are only a handful of commercial banks in the Great Song Dynasty that can compete with them, and the Li family commercial bank in the capital can stabilize them. But that's it, the Gu family firm is not something that ordinary court officials dare to provoke at will, and their daily business is even better.

It not only sells all kinds of fresh mountain goods from the south to the north, but also rents cars and horses, exchanges gold and silver, and even firewood, rice, oil, salt, medicinal herbs and other items closely related to people's lives can also be bought here at a price that ordinary people can accept, so here is a cloud of visitors every day.

At this time, it is the best time to buy and sell in the afternoon, the large store is full of customers, almost filling this place, and the shopkeeper inside is even more busy, from time to time to greet and get the goods, can drool over many of the bosses who have a cold business, but the price here is lower, the style is more complete, and they can't compete.

However, for Gu Hui, the young owner who is taking care of here, these can only be called leisure, after all, he has been used to it over the years. He only walked around the store casually, and after saying hello to a few familiar customers, he turned back and returned to the back, and then met a man in cloth with a nervous expression, and when the other party saw him, he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Son, the Yan family's grain store has just been surrounded by the official army, and they have been trading with us on grain before......

"I've known about it for a long time, but it's just a small thing." Gu Hui remained steady, waved his hand with a smile and said: "It was because Yan Ziliang offended his boss and was killed, and his family was picked up to sue him, that he really brought a lot of trouble to himself, this has nothing to do with us, who will pay attention to this grain business?" ”

"What Childe said is reasonable, but after all, I'm afraid of what happens, if this really makes people see something, and then I found out on our heads......"

"Then I will also know as soon as possible, and I have my own way to deal with it." Gu Hui still didn't take it to heart. Until this one said, "But today we will have a large shipment of goods from Tokyo, and they are all ......."

Gu Hui's expression changed: "This is the third uncle's idea that he made early in the morning?" Does my dad know? It was actually at this juncture that he ...... "Even if he has been in charge for many years and is a stable person, but after knowing this, he can't help but be a little nervous, after all, he is a thief." After a while, he said: "Then stop the things first, even if they delay for a few more days, it is better than having an accident, as long as the things are still in our warehouse, it will be foolproof." ”

"Yes, the little ones will arrange it, I hope to stop them." As he spoke, the man hurried out, but instead of the main gate, he went to the side door, as he had come. Seeing him go out, Gu Hui breathed a sigh of relief: "It's all said that in the future, we would rather spend more time buying food from other places than buying food in Tokyo for convenience, if this really makes people find out, it will really be a little troublesome......

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside, and with a burst of exclamations, the curtain of the door that separated the inside and outside was suddenly opened, and a familiar figure staggered in, and then several soldiers with tall postures, pressing knives, and wearing armor also followed.

As soon as he saw his own Shaodong, he shouted as if asking for help: "Childe, these military masters suddenly broke in and said that they wanted to see the steward, and they frightened the customers in the store, and surrounded our shop entirely. ”

Hearing this, Gu Hui's heart was even more agitated, but he still managed to calm down, raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't know why you military masters broke into my shop, what are you doing?" If there is anything offended, Gu Hui will make amends here. Come, take twenty taels of silver......"

The startled entourage behind him just answered and wanted to turn back, but another person had already opened the curtain and said with a smile: "No need, I'm not here to fight the autumn wind." It's just because there are important cases to investigate, so there are many offenses. Are you the one in charge here? ”

"Under Gu Hui, he is the young owner of the Gu family's firm, I don't know who the general is?" Gu Hui felt the powerful aura on the person who came, and he didn't know how strong it was compared to himself, and he was even more shocked in his heart, but he still remained calm in his expression.

"This official Sun Tu." Sun Tu smiled faintly.

"It turned out that the Marquis of Yue was coming, which was really disrespectful. My Gujia firm has always been a businessman in this branch, but I don't know why it will be harassed by the government? If there is any violation of the king's law, I hope the general will make it clear, but ...... Even if there is really something wrong, shouldn't it be the relevant officials here in Kaifeng Mansion or Nanshi who came, why did they work for you? ”

His words were really hidden in the cotton, and he pointed out the key point at once, Sun Tu and his subordinates did not have such rights at all. But Sun Tu was not threatened by it at all, and only said with a smile: "The stakes are very high, only after checking can you know, if you have any dissatisfaction with the Gu family, you can report it at that time, and Ben Hou will follow." He didn't have time to argue with him, so he only pointed his hand to the accounts and living rooms behind Gu Hui: "Search for me, don't let go of a corner, I have a piece of paper." ”

"Whoa!" These are all Sun Tu's cronies brought from Shandong, and one person doesn't know how many people have killed, so naturally they don't care about the identity of the Gu family, and when they heard the order, they all rushed forward, frightening the more than ten account men in front of them to exclaim, and quickly flashed to both sides, not daring to block the way. They are all from their own families, how have they ever seen such a brutal method.

Not to mention them, even Gu Hui, a young owner, although he is more than thirty years old and is also a good hand in managing business, he has never dealt with such a person, and he was stunned for a while, so he could only let the soldiers enter those houses and search them wantonly.

After a while, he reacted suddenly, and his face was as gloomy as water: "Yuehou, what kind of truth are you, my Gu family is also a little prominent in Tokyo City, and you insulted ...... at will today."

"Didn't I say it, this is an important case to investigate, so I can only offend. If your Gu family is indeed innocent, how can you be afraid of investigation? Sun Tu ignored the other party's anger at all, and only swept his eyes back and forth inside and outside this large row of rooms to see if there were any clues.

The account books were quickly collected, and the things in those rooms and warehouses were also rummaged through by the soldiers at will, becoming chaotic, but obviously they couldn't find any useful evidence clues for a while, although Sun Tu's eyes were burning, he didn't see anything wrong here.

In fact, this is also reasonable, if the Gu family can really leave any big flaws in the shop, it will be a strange thing. And what Sun Tu was looking for was not evidence that they bought grain at a high price and then didn't know what to do next, but some other business problems. He believes that no matter ancient or modern, as long as they are engaged in trading, especially if the business is as big as the Gu family, there are definitely some problems that can be grasped behind the scenes, and as long as they grasp these, they can dig deeper, so as to dig out all the hidden secrets in it.

And most of these questions are in the account books, and it seems that I have to use my brain again and look at them carefully.

But at this moment, there was another noisy noise outside, and then the curtain was raised, and a group of officials had quickly rushed in, and the officials headed by him asked in loud voices: "What's going on?" Who told you to come to my south city to make trouble? "It was a petty official in a green robe, but after seeing Sun Tu and the others inside, he looked domineering, and he didn't take these guys dressed by the forbidden army seriously at all.

Gu Hui was overjoyed when he saw him, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Master Xu, you came just in time, these military masters suddenly broke into my store somehow, and they didn't say that we had violated any laws, so they searched here and scared away all the guests in my store." If they can leave just like that, my Gu family will naturally not pursue it. The implication is that if we refuse to leave, we will not give up.

Director Xu nodded at Gu Hui hurriedly, and then looked at Sun Tu: "What right do you forbidden troops have to come to Nanshi to mess around, and don't leave quickly......

"I won't stop there until the matter is clarified." Sun Tu looked at the man.

"You...... You are so bold, which army are you from, you dare to act so recklessly, this official will go to the front of the palace to report ......"

"Tiger Army, Sun Tu." Sun Tu responded to his threat, but the smile on his face was also a little ridiculous: "Could it be that Master Xu has the heart to protect this Gu family, or rather, do you have any interests with them?" ”

"You're just a bunch of nonsense!" Lord Xu subconsciously cleared himself in advance, and then reacted: "You...... Are you Sun Tu, Yue Hou? After seeing Sun Tu nodding, his heart suddenly shrank, knowing that he was kicking the iron plate this time.

Even if he didn't pay attention to the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River and didn't care about such a general who had made contributions to the Great Song Dynasty, he also knew that he had stirred up the officialdom of the capital in the past two days, and dragged many yamen such as the household department, the front division of the palace, and the military department into troubled waters.

In the eyes of many people, Sun Tu is a-stirring stick who doesn't hesitate, he even dares to offend so many officials of the yamen, is he still afraid of such a seven-grade official? But now that I've put on all my momentum, I can't just leave, how should this end?

After Sun Tu nodded and recognized his identity, the atmosphere here seemed a little weird again, and the few people outside were all stunned, but the soldiers in the house still searched and searched regardless of it, looking at this posture as if they were going to scrape the ground here and find out the clues......
