Chapter 474 Is he the one who is destined to be the noble one?
Bai Jingtian did not dwell too much on this issue and instead asked, "Did you send someone to steal Shang Fang's sword?"
"Commander Bai, I'm telling you the truth. That brat Gu Chan forced me to beat my daughter half to death, so I was so angry that I thought of teaching him a lesson." Yan Xishan didn't dare to hide it anymore and finally told the truth.
However, he also knew that this matter could not be explained away with a simple sentence, so he avoided the serious and minimized the matter as much as possible.
Bai Jingtian sighed helplessly.
Stealing Shang Fang's sword was a serious crime against the Nine Clan. Gu Chan would just let it go if he couldn't find out about it. But once he found out about it and traced it to Yan Xishan, not only would the Yan family be ruined, but the second prince would also be involved.
This is the situation he least wants to see.
Yan Xishan realized the importance of the problem and said quickly, "Commander Bai, I wonder what the master thinks of this matter?"
"The master doesn't mean to blame you. But he was naturally extremely angry about this matter. Think about it, the prince is fighting to the death with him now. Once Gu Chan finds out that you stole Shang Fang's sword, and the trouble goes to Kyoto, the prince will definitely use this as an excuse to kill his master. With one army, we will be in big trouble," Bai Jingtian said with a serious face.
"Then what should we do! Now that the thieves have stolen it, we can't give it back to him!" Yan Xishan said with a stiff face.
Bai Jingtian suddenly said curiously, "I really want to know who you asked to steal his Shang Fang sword. He thought it was you who was sent by our Ouchi guards to help you."
"I let My nephew went to steal it. He studied at the Jiangnan Famous Swordsman and was pretty good at it. He thought it was the master who sent the imperial guard to steal it!" Yan Xishan said frankly.
Bai Jingtian shook his head speechlessly.
Yan Xishan said, "Otherwise, I will give Shang Fang's sword to Commander Bai, and then you and the master will discuss how to return it to Gu Chan. It would be better for you to come forward in this matter now. If you can It's best to solve it."
"Okay, then give it to me and I'll discuss it with the master later." Bai Jingtian nodded.
Yan Xishan seemed to be grasping at straws and quickly got up to get Shang Fang's sword and handed it to Bai Jingtian. After that, he left as if relieved and went to collect silver.
Bai Jingtian was sitting alone in the yard, distracted with the Shang Fang sword in his hand.
Now how to return the Shang Fang sword and block Gu Chan's mouth is a big problem.
This side of Wanyuanfang.
At this time, Gu Chan was drinking wine and listening to music in a private room on the third floor, not to mention how happy she felt.
Wan Peng and Wan Feiyan sat next to her, one poured her wine and the other squeezed her shoulders. They treated her like a living treasure.
The girl sitting in front of me, after playing a song, Gu Chan took out a silver note of one hundred taels and rewarded her. The girl was so happy that she couldn't help but bow and thank her before she left. .
Wan Peng flattered him and said, "Brother Gu, you are really good today. You have made another one billion taels of silver in one go. If you continue like this, you will soon be able to raise all the five billion taels of bailout money for the border." Yeah!”
“It’s not that simple. I was able to get these two pieces of money by grasping everyone’s pain points. I’m afraid it won’t be that easy if I try to get them in the same way later. ." Gu Chan shook his head and said.
"It's okay. With your mind, Brother Gu, there must be no problem." Wan Peng said.
Gu Chan chuckled, "Okay, stop flattering me, just say it if you have something to say, be happy."
"Brother Gu, look at how much money I made selling weapons this time , we siblings have also contributed a lot! Can we, the Wan family, also benefit from it?" Wan Peng said with a smile. "We invested so much money to help you win all the iron shops, now it's time to get some back!" Wan Feiyan followed suit.
"Okay, I'll give you 50 million taels of silver from the Wan family." Gu Chan said directly without thinking.
The two siblings immediately stopped and their expressions became stiff.
Gu Chan smiled lightly and said, "That's almost it. If you don't send it to the border and I don't have this imperial mandate, it's no problem for me to give you 30%. If you can make money now, just make some. Don’t be too little.”
"Hey! I really hope you can earn enough five billion taels of silver soon, so that we can earn more." Wan Peng sighed.
Just as Gu Chan was about to continue to comfort her, there was a sudden knock on the door from outside.
Then Chang Wei opened the door and walked in from the outside.
Gu Chan immediately clasped his fists and said, "Brother Chang, why are you free to come here today?"
"I heard that you blew up the Lingjiu Temple during the day. Is it true? "?" Chang Wei walked to sit opposite Gu Chan and asked with a smile.
Gu Chanpi nodded with a smile.
Chang Wei raised his thumb to Gu Chan and said, "You are awesome! I never thought you could build such a powerful weapon. Now your new weapon has already spread throughout Jiangnan. Word spread in the city, everyone said it was powerful and wanted to see it. "
"Don't worry, when the Jiangnan camp is equipped with a hundred cannons, everyone will naturally be able to see its power. " Gu Chan said indifferently.
Chang Wei nodded noncommittally.
Gu Chan turned around and said, "You came here specifically to see me today just to ask me about this?"
"No, I'm here to tell you that for the one billion taels of silver you earned from selling the blood of spirit beasts, I have already found the Weiyuan Escort Bureau, the number one in Jiangnan, and escorted them to Wuheng County on the border this afternoon. In order to ensure the safety of the silver taels, I asked them to deliver it in the name of military pay, and also asked Magistrate Xu to borrow a team of officers and soldiers to escort him." Chang Wei explained.
"Okay, now it's stable. Whoever dares to rob the military pay will lose his head ten times." Gu Chan said happily.
Before, she was worried about whether such a large amount of money could be safely delivered to the border, but judging from the current situation, Chang Wei was indeed very smart. His move directly made those in Tiancang Kingdom The daring person was afraid of this amount of money, which really saved her a lot of trouble.
Chang Wei smiled and said, "When will the second payment of silver be sent?"
"Three days later! Anyway, in these three days, if nothing happens, there will definitely be more One billion taels of silver are delivered to your house. If you do this again, just ask the Weiyuan Escort Bureau to send another team of escorts to escort you." Gu Chan said.
Chang Wei nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
In terms of shrewdness, he is definitely far superior to Wan Peng, so now he only follows Gu Chan's instructions and doesn't ask any questions about anything else.
Gu Chan naturally liked his cleverness.
At this time, she couldn't help but think to herself that when she went to see the old beggar Nine Fingers, the leader of the Beggar Clan, he had said that she would meet a destined person in Jiangnan who could help her. Only in this way can the crisis of a narrow escape be resolved.
Does that mean that now she has met this noble man, Chang Wei?
