Chapter 456 Attitude Change
Gu Chan looked at Yuan Jie who was standing aside and said.
"Go and guard the door. Don't let anyone come in and disturb our conversation."
"Yes, from the shopkeeper." Yuan Jie responded respectfully and quickly went to guard the door.
Gu Chan told Wei Xing exactly what Wan Peng had just told her.
After Wei Xing heard this, he suddenly laughed, "Okay! The person who secretly wants to deal with you is really smart! He actually got someone to pretend to be Batman, and tried to steal Shang Fang's sword, so everything happened like this It seems that this beloved hero has a very thoughtful mind and vicious methods!”
"That's right, this person has a trick up his sleeve. If I really fall for the trick this time and go to Jiangnan Academy to find this fake Batman and get killed by him, then I, the imperial envoy, will die at the hands of a hero who robs the rich and gives to the poor. But if I kill the fake Batman and get back Shang Fang's sword, the other party will put all the blame on the fake Batman. They can also claim to the outside world that I killed the hero who robbed the rich and gave to the poor, making the common people hate him. Me." Gu Chan said with a cold voice.
Anyway, she thought about it all afternoon, thinking clearly about all the stakes behind it.
She was also sure of one thing, that is, the person behind this matter was by no means a mediocre person. On the contrary, he was extremely vicious and his methods were extremely ruthless.
Wei Xing said in a deep voice, "Among the people you have offended during the time you have been in Jiangnan City, who do you think fits this point the most?"
"Nonsense, who else besides Yan Li? Her father, Yan Xishan, and my mother, Bai Xi, are far less vicious than her." Gu Chan said with a livid face.
"It's very possible that the mastermind behind this incident is the eldest lady of the Yan family." Wei Xing said.
"Where's the evidence? Without evidence, do you dare to trouble her? When the time comes, Yan Xishan won't bite me back and go to the emperor to get my copy?" Gu Chan said angrily. .
Wei Xing stretched out his hand and scratched his head, his face became embarrassed.
Now, even if they know that the other party has set a trap, they still have to jump for Shang Fang's sword, but let's do it! There is always a feeling of being manipulated by others, and only a fool would step into such a trap.
So for a while, this matter was really a bit difficult to handle.
Gu Chan sighed and said, "Although I was mentally prepared before coming to Jiangnan City, I didn't expect that the people here are much higher in rank, and it is really not easy to deal with them. Take the big business owners now. None of them come out to cause trouble. They hide very well and are secretly entangled with other officials. They are targeting me all the time. It is difficult for me to take advantage of them. "
"Yes! The most important thing is that the most difficult one is also eyeing your Shang Fang Sword and will attack you. If you can't find Shang Fang Sword this time and are put to death by the other party, the other party will I can hold Shang Fang's sword at any time and get a fake imperial envoy to replace you." Wei Xing shouted.
"His grandma is so annoying." Gu Chan cursed angrily, raised his fist and slammed it on the table.
Wei Xing hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't be angry. The more times like this, the more calm you have to be. What the other party wants is for us to mess up, so we can't mess up."
"Don't worry, I'm in control. When I first came back, I had already smashed a table. Now this one is still good, which proves that I didn't punch hard just now and I can still control myself." Gu Chan said calmly. explain.
Wei Xing nodded quietly.
Gu Chan's face darkened, and she gritted her teeth and said, "You immediately sneak to Jiangnan Academy and secretly investigate the situation for me. I'll wait for the money from the Chang family to be delivered. I'll count the money and then rush over. When the time comes, you can hide in secret and help me at any time." A helping hand.”
"Understood." Wei Xing sneered. After saying that, he immediately stood up and put on a black hat, said goodbye to Gu Chan and left, quietly sneaking to Jiangnan Academy.
Gu Chan sat quietly in the room and waited.
More than an hour later, Chang Wei finally sent his housekeeper over with several large boxes of banknotes.
Since she didn't want to attract attention, Gu Chan asked him to go around to the back door and parked the cart in the backyard.
When Wan Peng came over, he saw that the person who came to give the money was actually a member of the Chang family in Jiangnan. He was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. He quickly ran to Gu Chan and whispered in Gu Chan's ear, "This is not from the Chang family, one of the first-class families in Jiangnan." Human? Is it possible that you can still earn as much as 30 million taels of silver from the Chang family in the past few days?”
"Okay, don't be surprised. Hurry up and ask your people to count the banknotes and deposit them in your deposit room. Anyway, if this money is lost, your Wan family will have a hard time. You have to remember, This is the border rescue bank, which is related to the life and death of countless people on the border, so don't be careless," Gu Chan reminded solemnly.
Wan Peng nodded hurriedly, and quickly called some of his accountants to start counting with him.
The butler and several of his men were about to leave after unloading the silver box. Gu Chan stepped forward to hold him, reached into his sleeves and took out two silver coins and handed them to him and said, "Butler, thank you for your hard work. This little money is not enough." Respect, take it and give it to me, I’ll treat you to a drink.”
"Little brother, I will accept it without mercy." The butler said with a smile like a flower.
Gu Chan rolled her eyes and said slyly, "By the way, housekeeper, will anything happen in your house after I leave today?"
"Hey! Don't mention it. I don't know why the eldest young master is so crazy. He imprisoned my wife first, and then summoned everyone in our house to interrogate them one by one. I don't know what he was looking for. Now everyone in the house has become distraught. Terrified," the steward said with a grimace.
"Did he find anything?" Gu Chan asked.
The housekeeper shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. Anyway, the eldest young master is very angry and has issued a death order. Without his permission, no one is allowed to let the wife out, and no one is allowed to enter the house to see her."< br>
"Oh! Then I understand. Please be safe on your way back." Gu Chan said with clasped fists and a salute.
The butler returned the salute with a respectful fist, and left with a few of his men carrying the empty cart.
After they left, Gu Chancai followed Wan Peng and others to carefully count the banknotes.
Half an hour later, the 30 million taels of silver notes were counted, and it turned out to be exactly the same.
Gu Chan said with satisfaction, "This Chang Wei is quite trustworthy. He didn't miss me a tael of silver."
"That's right, Young Master Chang has a very good reputation in our area south of the Yangtze River, and everyone is willing to do business with him. If you make friends with him, that's for sure." Wan Peng nodded.
Gu Chan fell silent after hearing this, thinking that she might have really misunderstood Chang Wei before. Although he looked exactly the same as her modern scumbag ex-boyfriend, they were not essentially the same type of person.
This person is indeed kind and upright, and worthy of close friendship.
