Chapter 342: Night exploration, old man helps
Seeing Tan Zhixu's busy figure, Gu Huaijing's fatigue from the past day disappeared.
The bustling crowd and the lively "Zhiweixuan" are the best proof that Tan Zhixu is good at doing business.
He was surprised at what Tan Zhixu had achieved in a short period of time, and he admired her even more.
The successful opening of "Zhiweixuan" has undoubtedly brought a new trend to the business community in northern Shaanxi, and at the same time, it has also made the weird things hidden in the dark more and more prominent.
Gu Huaijing walked into the store and saw Tan Zhixu busy, and asked with a smile: "It seems that you have successfully established a foothold on this street. So, should the next step be to investigate those strange things?"
Tan Zhixu turned to look at him, but he didn't expect that he came at the right time.
Gu Huaijing made the purpose of her trip clear, and Tan Zhixu did not hide it. She nodded, "Master Gu, as you can see, I have prepared everything. Next, let us uncover the strange things in northern Shaanxi together. The truth."
After the words fell, the two looked at each other and smiled, showing a perfect understanding.
On the first day of opening, both the tavern and the grocery store were crowded.
Tan Zhixu's reputation suddenly spread in northern Shaanxi. The president of the Chamber of Commerce was surprised by Tan Zhixu's power, but other businessmen felt the crisis.
Her shop was newly opened, and some merchants sent people to sneak in.
They also overheard the conversation between Tan Zhixu and Gu Huaijing. The businessman maliciously spread the news that Tan Zhixu wanted to investigate strange things, and even created a statement that Tan Zhixu was omnipotent.
Inside the "Zhiweixuan", there was a lot of excitement and excitement.
A middle-aged diner was tasting the freshly baked special dishes while chatting with the businessman sitting next to him: "The proprietress of Zhiweixuan is really smart. Not only does the business flourish, but I also heard that she wants to investigate Those weird things are really unworthy of women."
Gu Huaijing and Tan Zhixu sat aside. Listening to these praises and discussions, Gu Huaijing looked ugly.
When Gu Huaijing was about to go out and plot against the other party, Tan Zhixu shook his head at him.
Tan Zhixu lowered his voice and said, "It's artificial. The more you and I mess up, the happier the other party will be."
As soon as these words came out, Gu Huaijing suddenly realized, "Xu Xu, it is rare for you not only to make a name for yourself in the business world, but also to attract such high attention. What are your plans for the next investigation?"
Tan Zhixu's eyes flashed with determination and he took a sip of tea.
"I plan to start with the recent strange disappearances of businessmen. It is rumored that they all disappeared mysteriously late at night, and they are all related to a mysterious force in northern Shaanxi. I will use my influence in the business community to investigate the matter in depth. "
At the same time, a thin old man walked into the store. He was the president of the Chamber of Commerce. After seeing Tan Zhixu, he couldn't help but come forward to praise him.
"Boss Tan, your 'Zhiweixuan' has made this street lively. It seems that our business community in northern Shaanxi really needs fresh blood. I admire you very much for your determination to uncover strange things. If there is any need for help, Just ask."
Gu Huaijing smiled slightly and said to Tan Zhixu: "It seems that you have received a lot of support. Then we might as well start taking action tonight and sneak into the places where the missing merchants last appeared. Maybe we can find some clues."
As night fell and "Zhiweixuan" closed its doors, the two of them put on casual clothes and left quietly.
Before leaving, Tan Zhixu said to Gu Huaijing: "I hope I can gain something tonight and solve this mystery that has been plaguing northern Shaanxi for a long time."
The moonlight shines on the bluestone road, reflecting two determined figures.
Pedestrians passing by thought they were mysterious and began to speculate about their origins. "Hey, look at those two young men walking so sneakily. Are they going to do something big?"
A peddler carrying a load whispered to his companions, with curiosity and awe shining in his eyes.
"You don't know this. I heard that Boss Tan of Zhiweixuan is planning to reveal the strange things about the disappearance of those merchants. It seems that she is probably the one." The old man selling candied haws in a low voice responded in a low voice, and his words were full of praise for Tan. Zhixu's admiration.
The two came to the door of a house, where the last missing businessman disappeared.
Gu Huaijing used Qinggong to climb over the wall and enter, followed closely by Tan Zhixu.
There was silence in the courtyard, except for the gentle rustle of the leaves in the wind.
They found a torn piece of cloth and a jade pendant engraved with strange symbols in the room. Obviously, these were no ordinary objects.
Gu Huaijing picked up the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, while Tan Zhixu smelled a subtle and unique aroma on the piece of cloth.
"I have seen the symbols on this jade pendant in an ancient book. It seems to be related to an ancient organization." Gu Huaijing frowned and analyzed in a low voice.
Tan Zhixu nodded in agreement: "This scent is also unusual. I'm afraid it's some kind of special medicine or incense."
Just as the two of them were conducting an in-depth investigation, there was suddenly a rush of footsteps outside the door, and then an anxious voice sounded: "You two gentlemen, why are you here?"
The visitor was an old man from nearby, who usually made a living as a janitor. Now when he saw Gu Huaijing and Tan Zhixu appearing here, he couldn't help but be extremely surprised.
"Old man, we are investigating the disappearance of the merchant, and we have no intention of disturbing you." Tan Zhixu explained gently, but his eyes were extremely firm, "I hope you can provide some clues."
When the old man heard this, his face showed surprise, which then turned into deep worry. He pondered for a moment and then slowly said: "Young master, I don't know something. In the past few days, every night, there is always a group of mysterious people passing by here quietly... "
These words made Gu Huaijing and Tan Zhixu tremble in their hearts. They exchanged glances with each other and decided to follow this clue tonight to track down the mysterious team.
"Thank you for the clues, old man. We will proceed with caution." Tan Zhixu thanked him with his eyes bright.
"Be careful, the peace of northern Shaanxi depends on you responsible young people." The old man said earnestly, watched the two people leave, and secretly prayed that their actions would go smoothly.
"Huaijing, it seems we are going deep into the tiger's den tonight." Tan Zhixu whispered, the jade pendant in his hand shining brightly.
"Xu Xu, I will fight side by side with you without fear." Gu Huaijing smiled decisively in return, and the two figures gradually moved away and disappeared into the night.
However, the two of them found the group of people according to what the old man said, but found that they were just robbers and they knew nothing about the missing merchants.
The clues ended here, and the two of them were emotionally hit, especially Tan Zhixu. She had been pursuing it for so long, but it turned out to be a dead end. Naturally, she felt unhappy.
On the contrary, Gu Huaijing was very considerate and even comforted Tan Zhixu. "If this matter is so easy to investigate, will the Emperor let me come?"
Upon hearing this, Tan Zhixu couldn't help but laugh.
This is true, why would the emperor send Gu Huaijing here for an inconspicuous case?
