Chapter 804 Gu Family Firm

The Gu Family Store is located not far from the entrance of Tokyo South City. It is a large shop that occupies almost five stores. This is just their headquarters. There are two other shops in Bianliang City. As for the prefectures in the world, the Gu Family also has a semicolon for opening it, regardless of east, west, south, north and north.

It can be said that in terms of wealth and power, business in the world, there are only a few commercial banks in the Song Dynasty that can compete with them, and only the Li family merchants in the capital can suppress them. But even so, the Gu family merchants are not ordinary court officials dare to provoke them at will, and their daily business is surprisingly good.

This place not only sells various fresh mountain goods from south to north, but also carries and horse rentals, gold and silver exchange, and even food items closely related to people's lives, such as food and food, oil and salt, medicinal materials, etc., which are closely related to people's lives, can be bought here at a price that ordinary people can accept, so every day, guests come here.

It was the best afternoon business. The large shops were constantly commuting and almost filled with customers. The shopkeepers inside were so busy that they could not help but ask for goods from time to time, which made many of the bosses who were indifferent to their business. However, the price here was lower and the style was more complete, so they could not compete.

However, for the young master Gu Hui who was taking care of him, these can only be called casual. After all, he has become accustomed to it over the years. After walking around the store for a while, saying hello to a few familiar guests, he turned back and met a nervous man in a civilian. When the other party saw him, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Young Master, Yan Jia Grain Shop has just been surrounded by the official army. They have been trading food with us before..."

"I already knew about this, it was just a trivial matter." Gu Hui remained steady and waved his hand with a smile: "It was because Yan Ziliang offended his boss and was killed, and his family was urged to sue him, which really brought a lot of disaster to him. This has nothing to do with us. Who would pay attention to this little food transaction?"

"Young Master said it is reasonable, but after all, I'm afraid that if it happens. If this really makes people see something, then follow the clues and find out on our heads..."

"Then I will also learn at the first time that I have a way to deal with it." Gu Hui still didn't take it to heart. Until this person said something: "But today we will have a large number of goods shipped out of Tokyo, and they are all..."

Gu Hui's expression changed: "This is the idea that Uncle San made in the morning? Does his father know? It's at this critical moment..." Even though he has been in charge for many years and is steady, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous after knowing that this happened. After all, he was guilty. After a while, he said: "Then stop the things first. Even if it delays for a few more days, it is better than something happening. As long as the things are still in our warehouse, it will be foolproof."

"Yes, I'll make arrangements for you, hoping to stop them." As the man said, he rushed out, but he was not going to the main gate, but to the side gate when Tathagata was on his way. Seeing him going out, Gu Hui breathed a little relieved: "Everyone said that in the future we would rather spend more time buying grain from other places than buying grain in Tokyo, if this really makes people find out, it will be a bit troublesome..."

At this moment, a noise suddenly came from outside. With the exclamations, the curtains that were isolated from the inside and outside were suddenly lifted open. A familiar figure staggered in, and then several soldiers with straight figures pressed their swords and armored soldiers also followed in.

The one who came in half was a shopkeeper outside. As soon as he saw his young master, he shouted as if he was asking for help: "Young Master, these soldiers suddenly broke in and said they wanted to see the manager. They also scared all the customers in the store and surrounded our store."

Hearing this, Gu Hui felt even more shocked, but he still tried to calm down. He raised his eyebrows and said, "I wonder why all the soldiers broke into my shop, what's the point of doing? If you have any offense, Gu Hui will apologize here first. Come and take twenty taels of silver..."

The entourage behind him who was startled to turn around just as he responded, and another man had already lifted the curtain and said with a smile: "No need, we are not here to fight Qiufeng. It's just that there are important cases to investigate, so I offended them. Are you the one who is in charge of the business here?"

"Gu Hui is the young owner of the Gu family business. I wonder if the general is?" Gu Hui felt the powerful aura of the visitor, and was much stronger than himself. He was even more shocked, but his expression remained calm.

"I am Sun Tu." Sun Tu smiled faintly.

"It turns out that it was the arrival of the Yue Hou, so I was really disrespectful. My Gu Family Trading Company has always been a branch of the business and is not aware of why the government was disturbed by the government? If there is any violation of the law of the king, I hope the general will make it clear, but... even if there is something wrong, shouldn't it be the relevant officials from Kaifeng Prefecture or Nanshi? Why do you work?"

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 at all. He only smiled and said, "It is important. Only after checking it, you can know that if your Gu family has any dissatisfaction, you can sue it at that time. I will follow it." He had no time to argue with him, so he only pointed his hand at the living room and warehouse behind Gu Hui: "Search it for me, don't let go of a corner, hold a piece of paper for me."

"Here!" These are all confidants brought by Sun Tu from Shandong. He didn't know how many people had killed him, so he naturally wouldn't care about the identity of the Gu family. After hearing the orders, they all rushed forward in a hurry, scaring the more than ten accountants ahead to scream and quickly flashed to both sides, not daring to block the way. They were all the duty families, and never had ever seen such a domineering method.

Not to mention them, even Gu Hui, the young boss, was over thirty years old and was a good player in managing business, but he had never dealt with such a person. He was stunned for a moment and could only let the soldiers enter the houses and search them vigorously.

After a while, he suddenly realized his face, his face was gloomy: "Mr. Yue, what's the reason for this? My Gu family is also in Tokyo. You are so arrogant today..."

"Didn't I say that there is a case to be investigated, so I can only offend it. If your Gu family is indeed innocent, how could they be afraid of investigation?" Sun Tu ignored the other party's anger at all, and his eyes were only sweeping back and forth between the large row of houses to see if there were any clues.

The accounts were quickly collected, and the things in the house and warehouse were also randomly flipped over by the soldiers, becoming chaotic, but obviously they could not find any useful evidence and clues at all. Although Sun Tu's eyes were so fierce, he did not see any problems here.

In fact, this is reasonable. If the Gu family really leaves any big flaws in the shop, it would be a strange thing. What Sun Tu is looking for is not that they purchase grain at a high price and then do not know the evidence of their next plan, but some other commercial problems. He believes that no matter in ancient and modern times, as long as they do business, especially those who make the business as big as the Gu family, there will definitely be some problems behind their backs. As long as they grasp these, they can dig deep, and thus dig out all the hidden secrets hidden in it.

Most of these problems are in the account book. It seems that I have to use my brain again and look at them carefully.

But at this moment, there was another noisy sound outside, and then the curtain was raised, and a group of officials rushed in quickly. The leading officials even shouted and asked, "What's going on? Who told you to wait to come to my Nanshi to disturb the trouble?" The young official came, but after seeing Sun Tu and others inside, he seemed arrogant and did not take these guys dressed in the imperial guards seriously.

Gu Hui was happy when he saw him and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Master Xu, you are here. These soldiers suddenly broke into my store. They didn't say that we had violated any law, so they searched here and scared away all the guests in my store. If they could leave, my Gu family would naturally not pursue it." The meaning of the words, if we refused to leave, we would not give up.

Director Xu hurriedly nodded to Gu Hui, then looked at Sun Tu: "What right do you imperial guards have to come to Nanshi to make trouble? You don't leave quickly..."

"I won't give up until the matter is found out." Sun Tu looked at the man and said.

"You...you are so brave. Which army you belong to, how dare you act so recklessly? I will go to the front office of the palace to report..."

"Hu Ben Army, Sun Tu." Sun Tu responded to his threat, but the smile on his face also showed a bit of sarcasm: "Master Xu, you are determined to protect the Gu family, or do you have any interests with them?"

"You are simply nonsense!" Master Xu subconsciously left him alone in advance, and then he realized: "You... are Sun Tu, Marquis of Yue?" After seeing Sun Tu nodding, his heart suddenly shrank, knowing that he was playing on the iron plate this time.

Even though he had never paid attention to the chaos in Jiangnan and had not cared about such a general who had made contributions to the Song Dynasty, he knew that the past two days had caused panic in the capital, dragged many yamen such as the Ministry of Revenue, the Palace Front Office, the Ministry of War and other yamen into the muddy waters. He, an official in the Nanshi City, is also a member of the Ministry of Revenue.

In the eyes of many people, Sun Tu is just a stingy guy who is like a mess. He dares to offend so many officials in the yamen. Are you still afraid of being a seventh-rank official? But now that he has pretended to be full of momentum, he can't just leave, how should this end?

After Sun Tu nodded and recognized his identity, the atmosphere here seemed a little strange again. Everyone outside was stunned, but the soldiers in the room still searched the ground regardless of the situation. It seemed that this attitude was to scrape the ground three feet into the ground and find out clues...
