Compared with the bustling east and south sides, the west city of Bianjing, which is farther from the inner city, seems much deserted. At least from the flow of people, there are far fewer shops here than on both sides. But even so, the Xicheng, especially the area near Kaiyuanmen, is still an area that merchants of all sizes attach great importance to, so they are only carriages and warehouses, which has become a place for bulk goods to enter and exit.

As a top-ranked large business in Tokyo, the Gu Family Store naturally has its own warehouse and carriage shop here. The two are connected and cover a vast area of ​​several acres, which is much more impressive than other businesses.

At this time, before the warehouse where Gujia Trading Company had opened the signboard, more than 20 mule carts were filled with goods waiting to be shipped. Only the shopkeeper in charge of this place was still looking forward, waiting for the final order to arrive.

Because the Gu family business is so frequent that a batch of goods will be shipped almost every three or five days, ranging from more than ten cars to hundreds of cars. However, no matter how much goods are to be transported, they must be approved by Gu Hui, the young master who is in charge of the family affairs, and he will only be able to make the trip after he issues the order. But today's things are a bit strange. It's almost time to go, and it's almost dark, and no one will come to pass the order. Could it be that something went wrong?

Just as the shopkeeper was a little confused and wanted to send someone to ask a few more questions, a man with a fat face walked over impatiently: "Shopkeeper, it's not a problem to drag it on like this. If the things are delayed for a long time, none of us can bear this responsibility, so let the convoy set off quickly."

"This...Boss Li, you don't know anything about it. My business has always been rules and cannot be allowed to take the order of the young master..." Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, Boss Li glared at him and said in a threatening manner: "You Gu Family Business Company promised me that I would send it out of the city today. Look at what time it is now? If it is really delayed, can you afford it? Just a greeting, what can you do? Let's set off quickly!"

The other party was tough and was a guest who was extremely valued by his son. The shopkeeper suddenly felt even more embarrassed. At this time, a young man next to him also said, "Thank you, you should do as the customer wants. If something really happens, I will be responsible. We have already made some arrangements with the city gate. If we don't leave the city today, the previous expenses will be in vain."

This young man is also a child of the Gu family. Although he is not as powerful as Gu Hui, he is really in charge of the warehouse carriages here. As soon as he opened his mouth, an old man like Storekeeper Xie could only obey his orders: "Okay, let's set off now!" As he said that, he turned around and shouted, and at the same time he took the long horse whip beside him, trembling and shaking in the air, making three crisp crackling sounds.

As the whip sounded the symbolic departure, the handlebars who were ready came forward and shouted repeatedly, driving the strong mules out of the warehouse with the cart full of goods, and walked out of the alley along the paved bluestone road, then walked into the wider long street road, and slowly headed towards Kaiyuanmen, which was not far away.

With just a meal, the convoy arrived in front of the city gate. It was almost time to close the city gate, which made more people and cars entering and leaving the city gate. However, after seeing the banner of the Gu family store in front of the convoy, the guards over there still came forward with a smile and greeted them, and quickly cleared a passage for them.

In order to encourage business, the Song Dynasty collected extremely low taxes for entering and leaving the city gates. As a result, the guards had even less gray income, and their lives were all hard. Only when they encountered wealthy people like the Gu family business would they handled in advance and give them enough benefits. And for such God of Wealth, these guards naturally had to cooperate well, after all, this was a long-term business.

Seeing this, Boss Li, who was walking with the convoy, also showed a satisfied smile. So he had to cooperate with such a large business bank. This is not only safe and secure, but also much more efficient than ordinary people. There is no such thing as guards. This is a treatment that other caravans do not have at all.

The team slowly moved forward and soon passed through the long city gate hole. Even the last few mule carts were about to leave Tokyo. But at this moment, there was a sound of fast horses trampling their hooves in the rear, and a few roars were accompanied by: "According to the order of General Sun, the General of the Palace Front, the convoy of the Gu Family Trading Company in front is detained and they must not be allowed to leave!" With the shouting, dozens of people and horses speeded up faster and rushed to the city gate in the blink of an eye.

This scared the caravans around them very much. Everyone screamed and flashed to the side. With a clamor, many loads were overturned, and the firewood, vegetables and other goods fell to the ground. The guards were even at a loss and stood there on the spot.

"What are you still standing there? Go out quickly!" Boss Li's face changed and he quickly urged. But those handlebars were all good people working in the Gu family business, so they didn't have the courage to hear the shouts from the rear. Not only did they not run away, they tightened the reins and stopped the mule.

During this period, these people and horses had quickly passed through the city gate and appeared behind them. Sun Tu, who was the first, shouted loudly: "Everyone hugged his head with his hands and squatted aside. If anyone dares to move, he will kill him!" This sentence made these handlebars so scared that they were so stupid that they immediately followed suit and squatted aside. Only those mules were yelling uneasyly, tapping on the ground, and raising a lot of dust.

Boss Li's heart sank to the bottom. Who would have thought that he would have been out of Tokyo and that he would be in trouble? But he was determined and remained calm even at this time. He quickly turned around and turned around and smiled with his fists: "I don't know what you guys can do? We are all people who do business, and I don't know which law he violated..."

"Have you violated the law and understood in your heart what these are?" Sun Tu was actually unsure. He found a clue in Nanshi City and rushed here. After he learned that a convoy had just left the city, he hurriedly chased after him - he didn't even know what was installed in these big cars and whether there were any banned items.

However, judging from Gu Hui's reaction and the forced question on the way here, he asked someone to temporarily store the things back to the warehouse, there must be something strange about this matter, so you can take a risk to investigate.

If you change to an older official, even if you find more clues, you will not dare to do this. The power of the Gu Family Store in the capital is one aspect, and more importantly, the impact of such an approach is too great. If one is not good, it will bring endless troubles to yourself. However, officials often only talk about nothing but seeking nothing wrong, and ten times of credit cannot resist one mistake.

But Sun Tu is not a person who is bound by the unspoken rules of the officialdom. His current situation does not allow him to plan slowly. Since he has discovered something, he will investigate it to the end. So he immediately chased after him and stopped the convoy so decisively. Then, regardless of the strange gazes of countless people inside and outside the city gate, he waved his hand and ordered: "Search it for me, search carefully, don't let go of anything in a car."

He said this, so the people below naturally did not dare to neglect. After agreeing, they quickly pounced on them, unzipping the ropes, and moving the goods from the goods, and immediately they were busy.

"You...what do you mean? I, the Gu family business, have always been responsible for management. This time, I have asked the government to check it out early and paid the full commercial tax. How could you do this?" Boss Li was even more panicked when he saw it, and scolded him loudly, and wanted to step forward to stop the theory.

His performance seemed even more suspicious when Sun Tu's eyes fell. With just one look, someone stopped him. Sun Tu just sneered: "You don't have any problems with the goods. You can only find out after checking it."

At this time, another group of people rushed over. The leader was a young censor, the city censor who was inspecting various places. When he saw this, his expression became gloomy and shouted loudly: "Who are you? How dare you act like this in front of the city gate and block the trade route? When will the imperial guards be allowed to check the merchant's goods?"

Indeed, the imperial guards did not have such powers, and Sun Tu and the others were all wearing military uniforms, so they were naturally questioned by this person. Sun Tu turned around and glanced at the person who came and said, "This censor came just right. This marquis Sun Tu, because he found out that the Gu family business might have had important matters left Tokyo, he came to investigate."

"Absurd! The Gu family business has always been in charge and has a reputation. How can such a thing happen? People come, quickly drag them away. I will definitely participate in your mischief and mess with my Song Dynasty business!" The man, who did not believe Sun Tu's explanation at all, immediately shouted. As he waved his hand, the soldiers of the Censorate who patrolled the city quickly surrounded him and wanted to attack Sun Tu and others.

In the eyes of these people in the Censorate, the imperial guards, especially those who made mistakes, are nothing. Not to mention these soldiers, even if the imperial guards commanded their superiors, they could only be low and obediently, so their handling of the people was so reasonable.

Then, with a few muffled groans, the people who fell all over the ground were different from ordinary soldiers. How could they be the opponent of the veterans of Shandong Army who had been out of battle? Sun Tu had just asked them to let go of their ways. Seeing that the other party was so bold, these people naturally wanted to give them some excellence.

"Rebel... I've rebeled against you, how dare I hurt my censorate!" The censor was furious, rolled up his sleeves and waited for him to step forward.
