Chapter 221: I like acting [Please vote for me! 】
"As long as you can make the decision, you are the one I'm looking for." Ling Yuanbao snapped his fingers, and not long after, another person walked in from the door.
The old man was a little surprised when he saw another young man walking in. He thought that even if the person coming this time was not the real owner, he must be a higher-ranking official.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou, I'm going to Zhuxiesi, Liang Yue." The visitor was very calm and sat down opposite Zhou Dasheng.
"Zhuxiesi?" Hearing this name, Zhou Dasheng looked thoughtful, as if he couldn't remember how he would interact with them.
"I want to see you because there is a very important case that has something to do with your Jinlou, so I want to ask you some questions. I heard that you don't usually show up, so I met you in this way. Please forgive me." Liang Yue's tone was very polite.
"It doesn't matter." Zhou Dasheng showed a smile again, "What do you want to ask? As long as I know, I will fully cooperate."
He also knows that Zhuxie Yamen is doing everything Jiu Yang related cases, so I felt relieved.
Such a large Jinlou specializes in serving high-ranking officials and nobles, so he will definitely know a lot about things that are not visible on the table. If he is questioned about these things, he really has to cheer up.
"For Eunuch Cao's birthday in the palace the year before last, someone ordered a golden Buddha from you. It is well-made and quite valuable. Is this true?" Liang Yue asked directly.
Zhou Dasheng calmed down his expression, thought for a moment, and then nodded and said: "It is true."
"I want to know, who is the buyer of that golden Buddha?" Liang Yue asked again.
"This..." Zhou Dasheng frowned and said nothing. After a moment, he shook his head and said: "We don't know. At that time, someone just took the order and asked us to make it, and then sent it to the imperial city. He was very generous and directly Even if the money is paid in advance, we can’t ask for the guest’s identity.”
Bang.
Ling Yuanbao suddenly slammed the table and said fiercely: "Old man, if you cover up even though you know it, you will be regarded as an accessory when we find him in the future. Do you know?"
< br>
Zhou Dasheng replied calmly: "When we open the door to do business, there are monsters and monsters. Is it possible that everyone has to investigate? If you two officials don't believe it, you can go to my building and ask the clerk."
< br>"Eh." Liang Yue waved his hand to signal Ling Yuanbao to calm down, and then said: "If Mr. Zhou thinks of anything again, remember to remind us at any time. Of course, if we find something later, we might come again, you Maybe I don't know..."
He leaned forward and lowered his voice: "This matter is very big, and you may lose your head if you cover up."
Zhou Dasheng's eyes were gloomy, and he couldn't tell. What, just whispered: "I know."
After finishing speaking, Liang Yue stood up and left.
The men outside the door sent the two people out of the door, watched their backs turn around the corner, and then returned to the Golden Building.
Ling Yuanbao walked out and asked: "What should we do now?"
"Go back and stare, you look at the front door, I look at the back door. If any guy goes out to report the news, we will "It's interception," Liang Yue said. Seeing Ling Yuanbao want to turn around, he quickly reminded: "Don't look back!"
"There are probably people watching us now, let's go around and go back." Walking forward, he said.
“But what if no one reports the news?” Ling Yuanbao asked.
"Then wait a minute." Liang Yue said: "That golden Buddha is not only priceless, but it is definitely a treasure of the store. I don't believe they dare to start work on such a big object without knowing the identity of the customer. What if? What if the customer runs away midway? What if there is something wrong with the money received and it needs to be recovered later? At least there must be a certain amount of guarantee before they will take the job. Let’s wait and see. What happened..."
The two of them walked around the street and felt that there was no one watching behind them, so they divided their forces into two groups and went to the front and back of the Jinlou to find a secret place to stare.
About half an hour later, the man in brocade robes who called Ling Yuanbao upstairs went out cautiously.
... Liang Yue followed quietly. There were many people in Longyuan City, so he was not in a hurry to take action. Seeing that this person was in a hurry, he was heading to the east city gate.
As he turned around an empty alley, Liang Yue suddenly caught up with him and shouted, "Who lost his wallet?"
"Huh?" The man subconsciously turned around and lowered his head.
Liang Yue's Sword Domain Wandering Dragon Body Technique flashed an afterimage, stepped forward and kicked, bang!
The man reacted quickly and raised his hand to block his kick. But he didn't expect that Liang Yue was so powerful that he was kicked somersaulting backwards. Before he could stand firm, Liang Yue flew to catch up and poked him with two fingers, which dispersed the strong energy in his Dantian.
The man couldn't lift it up in one breath, his whole body went limp, and Liang Yue pressed him against the wall, unable to move any further.
He was selected as a personal bodyguard by Zhou Dasheng, and his martial arts skills were naturally high. However, Liang Yue was no longer what he used to be, and ordinary people in the world simply couldn't stand him.
"Say!" Liang Yue suddenly shouted: "You are acting suspiciously. Where are you going?"
"I just want to go out of the city, why are you taking me!" the man shouted.
Liang Yue said in a deep voice: "You are in such a hurry, but you are going to report to Jiu Yang's spies? For liaison with the enemy country, I will take you to jail first! We cannot arrest Zhou Dasheng at will. How can you, a bodyguard, do the same? Can someone help me?”
“I didn’t have an affair with Jiu Yang!” The man really thought that he was going to handle Jiu Yang’s case, so he explained: “It was our boss who asked me to go to the quarry outside the city. Asking something. Our Jinlou has absolutely nothing to do with Jiu Yang!”
"What happened?" Liang Yue asked.
"That's right..." the man murmured, "He asked me to ask Colonel Chen at the quarry, who was the golden Buddha made for back then, and why is it related to Jiu Yang? Here? We at Jinlou are not aware of this matter."
"Okay." Liang Yue dismissed him, "Then please go back with me."
This time when he returned to Zhou Laofujin Tower, Liang Yue's expression was completely different, and he was no longer as polite as before.
"Mr. Zhou, it seems that your cover-up charge is confirmed." He said slowly, "It seems that your golden building can no longer be opened. Whether you live or die... remains to be seen. How cooperative you are.”
"Just go to jail. There will be punishment waiting for him in prison!" Ling Yuanbao said fiercely.
"You two don't need to be a sweetheart anymore. The matter is now over. I will naturally tell you all the things I know." Zhou Dasheng smiled bitterly, as if he did not expect to fall into the hands of these two young people. superior.
“The golden Buddha was contacted by Colonel Chen from the Royal Guards.” Zhou Dasheng said, “He has made gold objects at our house several times before and gave them to Shangguan, so he is considered a familiar guest. But the golden Buddha is of great value. Even with his guarantee, I was still worried about the instability. He directly brought a box of gold and silver and paid the money in advance, so I dared to ask the craftsmen to do it. "
“In our line of work, we come into contact with many dignitaries, and many of them cannot disclose the gifts they receive or give to others. It is naturally the most basic ethics to keep customers confidential.”
“Chen from the quarry Captain..." Liang Yue muttered.
After getting the answer, they reminded Zhou Dasheng to keep it secret and left Zhou Laofujin Building. In the end, the old man was not held accountable for anything. Those things before were just threats.
After all, they have to handle the case in secret. If they are not careful, they may alert the enemy.
"Are we going to the quarry now?" Ling Yuanbao asked.
"Of course I want to go." Liang Yue nodded, "But I can't go in this capacity..."
Ling Yuanbao scratched his head, "You really like acting recently."
Good morning.
