Chapter 48: Winning People's Hearts
Gu Chan said with a relaxed expression, "Sit down first, don't be so afraid."
Zhou Dachuan and the three of them looked at each other, then suppressed the panic in their hearts and each sat back in their seats.
You know, Wang Feihu is like the overlord of Wuheng County. The theft of his family's treasure house can be said to be a huge event in this area.
Normally, everyone avoids matters related to Wang Feihu. Who would take the initiative to step on it?
Gu Chan was an exception, and they had to be frightened.
After Zhou Dachuan calmed down, he asked, "Tell me! What's going on?"
"I picked this up in my yard this morning, together with this spiritual grass, and twenty taels of silver."
"Ah? Is there such a thing?" Zhou Dachuan was shocked and suspicious.
Gu Chan looked at Zhao Erniu, "Since we are going to cooperate with Shopkeeper Zhou in the future, there is no need to hide this matter. Otherwise, if something happens later, Shopkeeper Zhou will feel that we have cheated him without telling him in advance. truth."
"That's true, then tell the truth!" Zhao Erniu nodded.
Gu Chan said directly, "Shopkeeper Zhou, every household in our Jiuyang Village received twenty taels of silver. It was given to us by Batman, the chivalrous man who robbed the rich and gave to the poor last night."
"So, this Black Moon Orchid Grass was secretly given to you by him?" Zhou Dachuan asked.
Gu Chan nodded affirmatively.
Zhou Dachuan looked at the spiritual grass on the table, his expression uncertain, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Gu Chan didn't beat around the bush and immediately had a showdown with him, "If you want to claim credit, just take this spiritual grass to Yuanwai Mansion to expose us. But if you want to cooperate with us, then you have to stand on the same front with us and secretly support us." Batman.”
"Okay! You're so cruel, you actually tested me like this, right?" Zhou Dachuan was stunned for a moment, then he immediately realized what he was saying, stared at Gu Chan and laughed out loud.
It was not until this moment that he understood how deep Gu Chan's city was.
There is no doubt that she is using this matter to test him now. If he is really that kind of treacherous person, then they will not have to cooperate in the future.
And the most important thing is that Gu Chan is smart enough.
Even if he really takes this spiritual grass to report to the Yuanwai Mansion, a proud and arrogant person like Wang Feihu will only target Batman and not pay too much attention to Gu Chan and other poor people. villagers.
At worst, just to discourage them, just give them some slaps and get the money back. Otherwise, it would not be a good thing to give the Yuanwaifu a bad reputation for bullying the common people.
So he had to admit that Gu Chan's move was indeed powerful.
Gu Chan spread her hands and said, "If you think this way, I can't help it. Anyway, you can do it now!"
"Then let me ask you, is the White Ice Nine Spirit Grass you gave to the county magistrate really not the one that was lost in Yuanwaifu's treasure house?"
"You ask Zhao Erniu and Ma Zheng. They saw with their own eyes the White Ice Nine Spirit Grass that I picked up from the fox's den. Batman only gave me this one. And to put it bluntly, I am only a child. How can I have it?" That's why you're going to steal the treasury of the outer palace!" Gu Chan said without revealing anything.
Zhao Erniu and Ma Zheng shouted.
After all, Zhou Dachuan still couldn't resist Gu Chan's offensive. He reached out and slapped the table and shouted coldly, "Okay, I believe you. Needless to say, I will definitely stand with you. I will collect this Black Moon Orchid Grass for you." ”
"Do you dare to go against Wang Feihu?" Gu Chan asked tentatively.
"Hmph! He is arrogant and domineering, bullies men and women, and runs rampant in the countryside. Who would like him? As long as he doesn't find out, I can help Batman secretly." Zhou Dachuan snorted coldly, speaking righteously.
Gu Chan looked at him carefully, secretly guessing that she did not give this person absolute trust. The reason is simple: there is no business without treachery.
At the moment, she has interests to gain from Zhou Dachuan, and he speaks so righteously. Maybe one day there will be no more interests to be gained, and his attitude will change 180 degrees.
So people should always be careful, no matter who they are.
Thinking this in her heart, Gu Chan didn't say anything, but pushed the Black Moon Orchid Grass in front of Zhou Dachuan and said, "One hundred and fifty taels of silver, you can't lose a penny. As for what you do with it in the future, I don't care."
"I can tell you the truth. I have a way in Kyoto. This spiritual grass can be secretly sent to Kyoto and resold at a high price." In order to win trust, Zhou Dachuan revealed his old background.
"Okay, then we have initially established trust. I will treat you to this meal, and you can just give me one hundred and twenty taels."
"At such a young age, you are really impressive and know how to do business. You will definitely stand out in the future and become a great man." Zhou Dachuan raised his thumb to Gu Chan in praise.
"..." Gu Chan.
Depend on! I am a woman, what kind of powerful man is that?
One day my mother's body will develop and become protruding forward and backward, which will blind your eyes.
Zhou Dachuan didn't expect that he would slap the horse's leg with his flattery. Seeing that Gu Chan's face started to look wrong again, he thought he didn't give him any money, so the little thing couldn't wait any longer.
So he quickly got up and left the private room to get the silver. After a while, he came in with a bag of silver and handed it to Gu Chan.
Gu Chan was not stingy and counted forty taels each from the bag of silver and gave them to Zhao Erniu and Ma Zheng respectively.
When the two got the money, their eyes lit up and they couldn't put it down.
Gu Chan stared at them and said, "Let's work hard together and make sure you make a lot of money. Now that you have taken this money from me, we are just like grasshoppers tied together. If you dare to trick me, you can't run away."
"Don't worry, boss, I'm determined to follow you for the rest of my life."
"Based on our relationship, I will definitely not betray you!"
Both of them expressed their loyalty to Gu Chan.
Gu Chan nodded with satisfaction, put away the money, got up and left with Zhao Erniu and Ma Zheng.
As soon as the three of them left, Zhou Dachuan quickly took the Black Moon Orchid Grass to a secret small room, then found a small brocade box, put it in, and sent someone to Kyoto overnight to change hands.
In the market.
At this time, Gu Chan and the others were standing outside a green shop, looking at the girls in a daze inside.
Zhao Erniu said with a pig brother smile on his face, "Then let's separate here! You go back to the village and be careful, I have to find an inn to stay."
"Bah! You stinky man, do you think I don't know what you are thinking? You can't walk when you see these beautiful ladies, right?" Gu Chan scolded angrily.
"I say this as if you are not a man. You are still young and don't understand this happiness. You will understand when you grow up." Zhao Erniu pressed Gu Chan's head and pretended to be serious.
Gu Chan didn't bother to pay attention to him, waved his hand away, grabbed the horse and left quickly.
Zhao Erniu looked at the two people leaving and smiled, then rubbed his hands and drooled, and rushed into the green shop with a worried look on his face.
