Detective in the Red Chamber

"Tao Zhu...Jin Bei?"

"That's right, it's Tao Zhu Jinbei!"

Just listen to Jia She's beaming and said, "That Tao Zhu Jinbei was born with several golden threads, faintly forming a pattern of copper coins on the shell. It is said that keeping them at home is the most prosperous, but someone bought a few by chance a few days ago. The price of kung fu has increased dozens of times!"

As he said that, he put that old face in front of Sun Shaozong, and whispered, "I have a way to buy dozens of Taozhu gold shells, but I just don't have enough money to buy them—how about you and my two working together to buy them first, After making a lot of money, how about sharing the benefits with each other?"

this thing...

Sun Shaozong had a strange expression when he heard it, and felt that no matter how you looked at it, it looked like a financial fraud.

Chapter 379 Tao Zhu Jinbei

After inquiring about Jia She carefully, he found out that this Tao Zhu Jinbei was originally brought from the Western Regions by a certain Hu merchant, and because the pattern of money grew on the shell, it was very pleasing to look at.

Therefore, as soon as it entered the market, it was highly sought after. From the initial value of one tael of silver per shell, it quickly appreciated to more than twenty taels of silver per shell, becoming a veritable "golden shell".

It is said that the more than one hundred pieces of stock that the Hu merchant had in hand had already been sold out, and now the Tao Zhu Jinbei can be said to have a price but no market.

Fortunately, however, Jia She found another way to buy Taozhu gold shells in large quantities, and the number reached an astonishing five hundred pieces!

"Nephew, the other party wants to curry favor with our Rongguo Mansion, that's why they offered 15 taels of silver." When Jia She said this, he danced excitedly and said, "You must know that in the market right now, a Taozhu Jinbei can be worth at least 28 taels." Silver, as long as these five hundred gold shells are handed over, it will be a net profit of more than 6000 taels of silver!"

hehe~

There are only more than a hundred gold shells on the market now, and if the stock is released four or five times at once, the price cut in half may be light, right?

Jia Amnesty probably also saw that Sun Shaozong was a little bit disapproving, thinking that he didn't care about the profit of these thousands of taels of silver, so he hurriedly said, "I see what they mean, if it's my uncle, no matter how hard I bargain, maybe I can get ten taels." One piece of silver—by then, we only need to pay 5000 taels of capital, and we can make a net profit of nearly 1 taels of silver!"

hehe~

See what this means, Jia Amnesty probably wants to get a huge kickback in the middle, and estimated the price offered by the other party, which is six or seven taels of silver, or even five taels of silver.

If this is the purchase price, it is really possible to make a fortune—of course, the premise is that there are really only these [-] pieces in stock on the market.

And what Sun Shaozong doubted the most was this 'premise'!

It's just that seeing Jia She's excited appearance and questioning whether he was deceived may not make him wake up, but may turn into anger from embarrassment.

So Sun Shaozong didn't speak bluntly, but said with a smile, "This is really a good deal, but I can't make the decision for the 5000 taels of silver. I still have to go back and discuss it with my brother and your son-in-law. "

Jia She thought it was the same thing, his son-in-law still had to make up his mind about the large sum of money, but when he thought of his well-behaved daughter, he had a good idea in his heart, so he said, "Forget it, then you can tell him first when you go back. Let’s go find him and discuss this matter in detail!”

Coincidentally at this time, Yuanyang came and said that Jia Zheng was back, and the old lady called Jia Amnesty to go back and discuss the matter of going to the uncle's mansion to make amends. Sun Shaozong took the opportunity to leave and led Xue Pan back to Wangjiang Tower.

But Jia She said that while walking back, he was pondering about Tao Zhu Jinbei, and suddenly saw the mandarin duck in front of him pinching his slender waist, but his buttocks were plump and upturned. The shape made it a little difficult for him to hold himself.

"mandarin duck."

Jia Amnesty rushed a few steps, originally wanting to walk side by side with the mandarin ducks, but he really couldn't bear the scenery under the skirt, so he followed behind with a smile and said, "When I earn this sum of money, master, I will ask my mother for it." How did you go through the door?"

Yuanyang froze, but immediately quickened her pace, and rushed into Jiamu's yard as if flying.

"This little hoof is still shy, ha, ha ha ha..."

Looking at the back of Yuanyang fleeing in a hurry, Jia She laughed triumphantly.

The book does not go into details.

But Sun Shaozong rushed back to Wangjiang Tower in a hurry, and after looking for someone to inquire, King Zhongshun and Uncle Zhao Guo had already returned to their respective residences. Now the dozen or so private rooms on the second floor have long been occupied by various dandies in the capital.

Sun Shaozong hesitated for a while, and did not go straight to Feng Ziying's private room, but asked the shopkeeper, and found the "Huansha Pavilion" all the way.

"Master Sun."

Seeing that Sun Shaozong had arrived, the two slaves guarding the door of the private room hurriedly bowed to salute.

Sun Shaozong only nodded, and ordered, "Call out your yamen, I have some business to explain."

One of the slaves agreed, and hurriedly opened the door and entered the room. After a while, the door parted to the left and right, but two drunk young men rushed out, cursing and saying, "It's the thing that doesn't open its eyes. Please see our big brother, dare to put on airs outside?!"

Saying that, rolling up his arms and sleeves, he was about to pounce in front of Sun Shaozong.

What kind of things do these guys associate with each other on a daily basis?

Sun Shaozong sighed speechlessly, raised his hands to pinch the heads of the two teenagers, and pushed them lightly, and the two fell back like gourds.

There was an uproar in the room, the dandies who drank too much wine had nothing to do and wanted to make trouble, not to mention someone came to the door?

so clamor

"Good thief, dare to do it!"

"Brothers copy guys!"

"Where is my knife? Where is my knife?!"

Seeing the chaos, someone suddenly shouted, "Mother Du Te, please be quiet, you two are shoulder to shoulder, it's not the same!"

While talking, the man also came to the door, reluctantly bowed and said, "Your Excellency is looking for me, but what do you want to explain?"

This person is naturally the number one dandy in the criminal justice department, Chou Yunfei.

Seeing that his eyes were still clear, Sun Shaozong raised his chin and said, "Close the door first."

Qiu Yunfei immediately turned around and shouted, "Why are you standing there? Close the door!"

At this time, his younger brothers finally knew who it was, facing a real macho like Sun Shaozong, who dared to shout?

So the two who had just got up from the ground hurried forward and closed the door.

Only then did Sun Shaozong ask, "Recently, have you heard of Tao Zhu Jinbei?"

"Tao Zhu Jinbei?"

Qiu Yunfei scratched his head, and said somewhat uncertainly, "I seem to have heard someone mention this stuff, but I can't remember exactly what happened."

"Then inquire..."

Sun Shaozong was about to instruct him to inquire about this matter, to see if other dudes were involved besides Jia Amnesty.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the conversation started, the enemy Haonu next to him asked with bright eyes, "Does my lord also want to buy Tao Zhu Jinbei?"

Sun Shaozong was taken aback for a moment, and wondered, "Why, you know about this?"

"I'll tell you the truth!"

The slave said triumphantly, "There is a steward in our mansion, so he has a way to get these things in exchange - the villain also spent 37 taels of silver to buy twelve pieces, and store them at home waiting to make money."

It really was a scam!

Sun Shaozong waited to ask further questions, but the slave took the initiative to sell and said, "My lord, if you want to buy it, you should buy it as soon as possible. In the past few days, the price is one a day. I heard that it has already been sold to five taels of silver."

"Five taels and one?"

Sun Shaozong questioned, "Didn't it mean that it has risen to 28 taels?"

"Whoa!"

That Haonu sighed, "You said it was of the highest quality. Where can we servants afford it? The middle-grade ones are at this price! I heard that there are still average-quality ones on the street, and you can buy them for a few dollars. One."

tsk~

Sun Shaozong originally thought that those crooks created Tao Zhu Jinbei just to deceive a few dudes with no brains, but now it seems that this net is much bigger than imagined!

Chapter 380 Gap

Financial speculation, tulip bubbles, drumming to spread flowers...

With these words in his head, Sun Shaozong leaned against the railing of the balcony on the third floor with a troubled expression on his face.

Even if this matter is man-made, it should still belong to the category of "economic investigation", and it is not the same thing as the criminal cases he is good at - and it seems that the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not list this kind of financial speculation for illegal activities.

The only good news is that we are still in the stage of combining the rule of man and the rule of law. If the court thinks that it will hinder the country, even if it is not prohibited by law, it can handle special cases.

But what Sun Shaozong is most worried about is that there is no mastermind behind this matter, and it is purely a spontaneous speculation by the public. If this is the case, those who have lost their money and property will not know who to turn to to compensate for the loss.

Fortunately, this thing is just emerging, and it should not be like the "Tulip Incident" in the Netherlands in the seventeenth century, which caused tens of thousands of people to go bankrupt, and the entire country fell into crisis.

"Second brother."

While worrying about the Forbidden City on the balcony, I saw Feng Ziying looking for it with a wine glass, and said, "Since it was just a misunderstanding, and you went to Rongguo Mansion to explain it yourself, what else is there to worry about?"

After a pause, he said seriously, "Besides, if the second brother Lian is not forgiving, the brothers will never stand by and watch!"

Seeing Sun Shaozong's 'gloomy' look, Feng Ziying thought he was worried about the conflict with the Ningrong Second House just now, so she spoke to relieve him.

"Jia Lian can't represent the entire Rongguo Mansion, why am I worried about him?" Sun Shaozong rolled his eyes speechlessly, "I'm actually thinking about a public case, and the recently popular 'Tao Zhu Jin Bei' is really...forget it, What's the use of telling you this? You didn't drink downstairs, so why did you come here alone?"

When Feng Ziying heard about the official case, she didn't bother to ask. She just raised her wine glass and said, "Jiang Yuhan just finished singing halfway, and went to the house to toast his brothers. I just asked about my brother, so I went all the way to find it."

After hearing this, Sun Shaozong realized that he came and went in such a hurry that he almost forgot that today he came to listen to Jiang Yuhan's opera.

So he hurriedly went downstairs with Feng Ziying, looking for Jiang Yuhan to apologize.

Jiang Yuhan also has clear eyebrows, so naturally she doesn't blame anything, but tries her best to persuade him not to miss the afternoon's plot.

Speaking of the entire script of "The Case of Sun Gong", only three cases solved by Sun Shaozong were intercepted.

The first half of the story begins with the "Qiu Wei Falling Building Case" and ends with the "Carpenter's Dividing Corpse Case".

The second half tells the story of Sun Shaozong's wisdom in breaking the "Tengu case", and because of this, he was summoned by Emperor Guangde and bestowed with bullfighting uniforms.

The drama, conflict, and suspense of the entire script are well arranged, and the plot of the bullfighting suit at the end is the most popular happy ending nowadays.

Sun Shaozong's only worry is that Jiang Yuhan gave himself to the actress. After all, Kunqu opera is known for its "magnificent and graceful performances", and Jiang Yuhan's magnetic voice is more feminine than a woman...

But after reading the second half of the story, Sun Shaozong knew that he was worrying too much. Jiang Yuhan's reputation in the Beijing Opera Garden was really not built!

Originally, he loved Lanhua Zhiyi, but when he was on stage, he was heroic, dignified and steady, and his voice was clear and clear. Apart from his slightly thinner stature, he looked a little more heroic than Sun Shaozong himself.

Because the effect was completely beyond Sun Shaozong's imagination, when the song ended, Sun Shaozong specially took Jiang Yuhan to drink a few drinks, and thanked him for not "ruining" himself.

The drunken people are scattered.

Sun Shaozong left Wangjiang Tower, stepped on the afterglow of the setting sun with a bit of drunkenness, and returned home confidently.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhao Zhongji approaching him, bowing his head and reporting, "Second Master, the mother and daughter of the You family have been placed in another courtyard in the outer city according to your instructions; as for Zhang Hua, there are people from the Ningguo Mansion." Come to the door, and want to buy him to falsely accuse the second master of taking his wife by force!"

"Yin Zi and the servants of Ningguo Mansion have been detained in our mansion, how do you think we should deal with it?"

But it turned out that after the conflict arose early in the morning, Sun Shaozong knew that Jia Zhen and the others would never let it go, so he immediately sent someone home to send a letter, asking Zhao Zhongji to order all the people, and at the same time transferred the mother and daughter of the You family to a safe place. On the one hand, they set up an ambush at Zhang Hua's home.

Now that he heard that people from Ningguo Mansion found Zhang Hua's home, Sun Shaozong said in disdain, "Sure enough, the old dog can't make up new tricks - let the man in Ningguo Mansion leave a confession, then strip it and send it back." .”

"What about Zhang Hua?"

Zhao Zhongji saw that there was no one around, and made a gesture of killing chickens and wiping his neck, and said sinisterly, "If this person stays, it will be a disaster sooner or later, why not..."

"It's better to be a fart!"

Sun Shaozong glared at him, and said angrily, "Second Master, I am in charge of a criminal court now, and you let me know that I broke the law?!"

After a pause, he ordered again, "Take my post tomorrow, send Zhang Hua to a blind date meeting to make a name, and tell him that he must make an appointment within three days, otherwise he will bear the consequences!"

When Zhao Zhongji heard this, he secretly thought that the second master was really smart!

The blind date meeting has been held for several days, and the woman who is decent in appearance and character has already been picked away, and the rest are basically crooked melons—plus she must get engaged within three days, I'm afraid Only those ugly and ugly ones are available for Zhang Hua to choose from.

And once a new marriage is set, Zhang Hua will be out of the blue if he wants to find a later account.

After explaining this matter, Sun Shaozong was waiting to go back to the backyard, and suddenly remembered the matter of 'Tao Zhu Jinbei', so he hurriedly ordered Zhao Zhongji to conduct an investigation in the mansion. Seeing that the bubble has not been burst, quickly clear the position and stop the loss.

After Zhao Zhongji responded, Sun Shaozong returned to the backyard.

This time, instead of harassing his son, he went straight to the main room, sat down on Ruan Rong's bed, and asked with concern, "How is the wind and cold getting better?"

It was originally agreed to take her and Xiangling to the Wangjiang Tower to watch a play, but Ruan Rong suddenly developed a fever last night, and she asked a doctor and boiled medicine until the middle of the night to take her temperature. If it drops down, the matter of watching the theater will naturally come to naught.

Ruan Rong was leaning on the head of the bed at this time, comparing the newly sewn shoe samples by the sewing woman. When she saw Sun Shaozong coming to inquire, she threw the shoe samples into the dustpan, shook her head and said, "I just feel cold occasionally. After a few doses of medicine, I’ve recovered by half.”

As he spoke, he laughed again, "I was talking to Shiliu just now, and I'm going to watch a play in Wangjiang Tower tomorrow."

However, Sun Shaozong said unquestionably, "Forget it tomorrow, let's talk about it in two days, anyway, it will take five days to sing in total - by the way, Jiang Yuhan's rehearsal of this play is really good. I heard that it is quite different from the general Kunqu opera, it is already considered a song." It’s a different pattern.”

"Since the master doesn't allow me to go, he still says it's so attractive!"

Ruan Rong rolled her eyes at Sun Shaozong, suddenly changed the subject, and said with a smile, "I heard that the young master of the Ningrong Second Mansion had a conflict with the Master because of the Second Sister You, but I don't know what kind of beauty she is. A lot of people are thinking about it—Master doesn’t even mention bringing him back, so that the servants can follow along and open their eyes.”

tsk~

A few days ago, she kept saying that she didn't care, but when she heard that Second Sister You was sought after by others, her words became sour.

Sun Shaozong slandered speechlessly in his heart, but said carelessly on his face, "It's not easy, I'll bring her here some other day, so you can have a good look at her teeth!"
