Chapter 164 Who is following whom?(1/2)
When he saw the appearance of the person coming clearly, he immediately moved to greet him with a look of surprise on his face.
"Brother Gillam, why is it you?"
The Gillam in Crich's mouth saw the surprised expression on Crich's face. He first turned his head and glared at the two middle-aged men a few steps away.
Immediately, with a smile on his face, he raised his hand and punched Krich on the chest, not lightly but not hard.
"Hahaha, dear brother, are you surprised to see me appearing in your shop?"
After hearing Gillam's question, Kerridge nodded subconsciously.
"Good brother, I am surprised, I am indeed very surprised.
Brother Gillam, as far as I know, it seems that you took your caravan to Tianzhu for business more than ten days ago.
From the day you left with the caravan to today, it has been less than twenty days. How come you came back so soon?
Did you encounter any trouble on the road? Do you need my help?"
Gillam looked at Creech with some confusion at first, and then suddenly changed to a worried expression, and his eyes were instantly filled with gratitude.
He is indeed the good brother he considers himself to be, and he is still as sincere to his brother as before.
After thinking that I have encountered some trouble, my first thought is to help myself and help me solve the problem.
Gillam sighed secretly in his heart. After taking a few deep breaths, he looked at Crich and nodded with a chuckle.
"Good brother, your guess is correct. Brother, I do have a little trouble here. I need you to come forward and help me.
As long as you agree to help me, brother, my troubles will be solved immediately."
Hearing this, Krich frowned slightly involuntarily.
"Brother Gillam, you have not been in the royal city during the recent period, and you are not very aware of some of the things that have happened here.
You know best how the friendship between our brothers is.
Therefore, regarding some things, as a brother, I am not afraid of your jokes.
Good brother, I will tell you frankly for my brother's sake.
Brother, due to some special reasons, I have some problems with money allocation and expenditure, so if you encounter any financial troubles, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you much in a short time.
But, good brother, you can rest assured.
Although I can't help you much in the short term, it doesn't mean that I can't help you at all.
If the gap in money you need is not too big, brother, I can think of a way to get it together, and I should be able to help solve one or two problems.
As for other things, as long as they are within my ability, I will try my best to do it."
After listening to Creech's sincere words, Gillam turned his head and looked around at the endless stream of customers in the shop.
"Good brother, I'll tell you the truth, the trouble I encountered is due to money issues."
Krich's face suddenly tightened, and his brows that had just been relieved suddenly frowned.
"Brother, how much money do you need there?"
Gillam retracted his gaze from sizing up the customers in the shop, and watched with amusement as Creech gently stretched out two fingers.
"Brother, this is the number."
Creech glanced at the two fingers extended by Gillam, and his nervous mind suddenly relaxed.
I still know very well what Guillam's family fortune is, and he will definitely not come to me for help just because of a mere 20,000 silver coins or 200 gold coins.
As a result, the amount represented by the two fingers he stretched out was most likely two thousand gold coins.
Although my shop here has temporarily encountered some difficulties, I can still get two thousand gold coins by myself.
Creech thought of this, and immediately raised his hand cheerfully and patted Gillam's shoulder.
"Good brother, two thousand gold coins, right? Just wait a moment, brother, I will arrange for someone to allocate gold coins to you right away."
As soon as Creech finished speaking, Gillam waved his hand hurriedly.
"Brother, it's not two thousand gold coins, it's twenty thousand gold coins."
The moment the number of twenty thousand gold coins came out of Gillam's mouth, the smile on Keric's face suddenly froze.
"How many more gold coins?"
"Twenty thousand gold coins in reply to brother?"
"Twenty thousand? gold coins?"
"Back to brother, that's right."
Creech watched in astonishment as Gillam took a deep breath, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
"Twenty thousand gold coins, brother, are you sure you're right? It's twenty thousand gold coins?"
Gillam nodded without hesitation and replied loudly: "Brother, little brother, I'm sure I'm right. It's definitely 20,000 gold coins."
"Twenty thousand gold coins? Twenty thousand gold coins? How come there are so many?"
"Brother, are you willing to help me solve this trouble I have encountered?"
Hearing Gillam's question, Kerridge nodded without hesitation.
"Good brother, with the friendship between us brothers, of course I am willing to help you solve the problem."
Then, as Krich spoke, the expression on his face gradually became tangled.
"Brother Gillam, as a brother I really want to help you solve this troublesome matter.
It's just...it's just that, in my current situation, brother, even if I want to help you solve your trouble, I'm powerless for a while.
Now, if I add all the gold coins I have left in my hands together, I can't even make up to 20,000.
If I want to help you, I must immediately transfer money from our home country of Rome, or the nearby countries of Persia and Prussia.
However, if you want to transfer money from other countries, it will take about half a month at best.
Can your troubles over there wait for about half a month?"
As soon as Creech finished his questioning words, Gillam suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, hahaha."
The sudden loud noise he made here immediately attracted the attention of the people around him.
However, Gillam didn't care at all about the eyes of the people around him, and with a smile on his face, he raised his hand and punched Kerridge in the chest again.
"Hahaha, good brother, time is not a problem, as long as you are willing to come forward and help me solve the financial problem.
As long as you agree to this matter, brother, the trouble of the 20,000 gold coins will be solved immediately."
Seeing Gillam's reaction, Crich looked slightly startled.
"Huh? What? It can be solved right away?
Brother Gillam, I am almost confused by you, what do you mean by this?"
Under Creech's doubtful gaze, Gillam immediately turned around and faced the door of the store and smacked his hands vigorously several times.
Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!
"Harrison, please move your things in."
"Yes, I will obey."
Following a thick voice, a middle-aged man immediately strode into the store.
Immediately, a dozen burly men walked into the shop, and the first few of them carried a wooden box in pairs.
"Master, this old slave is polite."
"Master Kerry, little Harrison salutes you."
"No gifts."
Kerridge looked at Harrison, whom he knew well, and immediately waved his hand.
"You're welcome, no courtesy."
"Yes, thank you Master, thank you Master Kerry."
"Harrisan."
"The little one is here."
"Let them open the box."
"Yes, I understand."
Harrison nodded slightly, then immediately turned around and waved to the burly men standing next to him.
The strong men received the signal, and one of them next to the box immediately leaned over and opened the wooden box next to them.
In the blink of an eye, the shop that was originally bustling with people fell into silence.
I saw that the five medium-sized boxes on the ground were all filled with yellow gold coins.
