The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 62
Sun Shangxiang saw Liu Chan uttering such enlightening words, knowing that he cherished her so much, and that she was worthy of taking care of him so well back then, and felt even more comforted in her heart!However, Sun Shangxiang is a staunch woman and does not want to remarry. This time, it is the son-in-law personally selected by Wu Hou and Wu Guotai, and it is impossible for her to object.

She told Liu Chan that she had always been indifferent to Gu Shao, and later, in order to avoid him, she simply ate fast and recited Buddha in Ganlu Temple.But Gu Shao is also a dead-headed person, and from time to time he visits her in the name of giving gifts, which makes her feel quite embarrassed.

When Liu Chan heard what Sun Shangxiang wanted to say, he began to like Gu Shao a little bit in his heart. A man who lost his wife for three years before remarrying was a legendary thing in this chaotic era.Liu Chan asked, "Mother, do you like Gu Shao?"

Where in this world does a son ask his mother like that?Immediately, Sun Shangxiang, who has always been bold, blushed.

Liu Chan sighed, it seems that Liu Bei and Sun Quan have hurt her so deeply that she is now disheartened about marriage, and dare not accept other people's feelings easily, and said, "Mother, just wait here Boy, go to Jianye to try Gu Shao's character. If he is really sincere to your mother, don't hesitate any longer. After all, it is better to find someone who loves you than to find someone who you love but hurts. Your people are much stronger."

When Sun Shangxiang heard Liu Chan's words, she stood on the spot in a daze: Where did this kid hear these strange talks?How old is he!How do you understand this love, love?When Sun Shangxiang came back to his senses, Liu Chan had already run out of the inner courtyard, took Zhao Feng and Zhuge Qiao with him and headed towards Jianye.

Along the way, Liu Chan began to think in his heart. The worst behaviors of men in the 21st century are nothing more than the following: eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, cheating, abducting and stealing.

However, the material conditions of the Three Kingdoms era are obviously not as rich as those of later generations. I am afraid that there are only four possibilities for eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling. Smoking and drug use are impossible.As for cheating, abducting and stealing, it is impossible for Gu Shao, a child of a family like Gu Yong, who has a father as strict as Gu Yong, to do it.So Liu Chan decided to investigate Gu Shao one by one regarding eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling, and then told Zhuge Qiao what he thought.

Zhuge Qiao laughed and said: "My son, don't be so anxious! If you do what you say, it will take a lot of time, and it is not realistic at all. The Gu family is a big family, and we can't find out anything. ? And you are the heir of Liu Shijun, with so many capable people under your command, you can’t do everything yourself? You go home with me first, and I’ll send someone to help you find out, can’t you?”

Only then did Liu Chan realize that if he really cared, he would be in chaos.He was always worried about Zhuge Junshi's bad habit of doing everything by himself, but he didn't want to be taught a lesson by his son today.He also thought that when the boat passed Jianye, Zhuge Qiao didn't go ashore to go home to accompany him. This time he went to Jianye, no matter what, he should let Zhuge Qiao meet his long-lost relatives, otherwise it would be too unreasonable. Immediately agreed to go home with Zhuge Qiao.

Since the road guides at hand had already been handled very well, they were not blocked in any way along the way.But after entering Jianye City, Zhuge Qiao didn't go home immediately, but directed the coachman to a silk shop on a main street.

Liu Chan thought that Zhuge Qiao wanted to buy a gift for his biological mother, and couldn't help but feel a little funny.When they came out this time, not only Han Long brought three ships of goods, but they also brought a lot of valuables from their own side. Why did Zhuge Qiao buy that?He asked: "Aqiao, we have a lot of valuables here, what else do you come here to buy?"

Zhuge Qiao smiled and didn't answer, but just pulled Liu Chan out of the car and entered the shop together.There is nothing unusual about this shop. There is a counter in front of it, and there is a guy standing inside. There are strips of silk and satin on both sides, and there is a back door behind it, covered with a cloth curtain.Looking at the situation inside, Liu Chan couldn't help feeling puzzled.

As for the guy, probably because there were no customers in the store, he just looked down at the counter, looking sleepy.But when he saw Zhuge Qiao and Liu Chan coming in, judging from the clothes on their bodies, they didn't seem to be children from ordinary families, and his energy suddenly increased.

The clerk immediately came out from the counter, and said with a smile on his face, "Hello, you two! I wonder what good materials you want? We have Sichuan brocade from Bashu, and some from Qingzhou..."

The guy hadn't finished his rhetoric when Zhuge Qiao interrupted him and asked, "Has the fine silk from Jingzhou arrived?"

The guy was stunned for a moment, everyone knew that Jingzhou was not very far from Soochow, but why hadn't he heard of any fine silk produced there.Moreover, from the tone of this young master, it seems that he knows the situation of our store quite well, so what's going on?The guy didn't know how to answer for a while.

Liu Chan also felt strange, why did Zhuge Qiao suddenly want some fine silk?But it was quite interesting to see the uncertain expression on the guy's face.

At this time, the curtain was lifted from the inside, and a middle-aged man dressed very well came out.This person is a shrewd businessman at first glance, with a businessman's enthusiastic smile on his face.

His eyes swept over Zhuge Qiao and Liu Chan, and he couldn't help becoming a little hesitant, and said: "The villain is the shopkeeper of this shop, and his surname is Wang. You two young masters, there is no fine silk in Jingzhou. Haven't been in for a long time."

Zhuge Qiao nodded and said, "It doesn't matter if the earthen cloth is not there, as long as everyone's hearts are clear."

Seeing the two talking to each other as if they were playing a riddle, Liu Chan couldn't help being confused.Seeing that the shopkeeper's face suddenly changed, as if he seemed to be thinking, he cupped his hands and made a gesture of invitation to the two of them, and said: "You two young masters and guests are here, let's talk inside."

Zhuge Qiao nodded, and dragged Liu Chan into the house unceremoniously.There is nothing strange about the layout inside, only some utensils, and some cloths are placed on the cabinet, it seems that it may be the place where the shopkeeper usually rests.

After Zhuge Qiao entered, he pulled Liu Chan and sat down at a table, as if this was his home.Zhuge Qiao has always been gentle and refined, when he was so rude, Liu Chan was very curious.

Seeing the shopkeeper step forward, he suddenly knelt down in front of the two of them: "Villain Wang Chong, I have seen the two young masters. How is the military master?"

Zhuge Qiao smiled slightly and said, "My father is fine now, please miss me." Then he asked Wang Chong not to be too polite, but to get up first before talking, and he did not introduce Liu Chan's identity to Wang Chong - Liu Chan's identity is of course someone who knows The less the better.

When Wang Chong heard Zhuge Qiao call Zhuge Junshi his father, he immediately realized that the young man in front of him was Zhuge Qiao, Kong Ming's adopted son, and his face became more respectful. It is really frightening to come here in person.”

Zhuge Qiao nodded, indicating to Wang Chong to wait on the side first, and then told Liu Chan that although the shop was called a silk shop, it was actually a contact station arranged by his father Kong Ming in Jianye, responsible for collecting all information about Jianye.The conversation between him and Wang Chong just now was actually an agreed secret language.

Liu Chan suddenly realized that when Zhuge Qiao said that he wanted to send people to help him investigate Gu Shao, he didn't mean to send people from his family, but to make these spies responsible!He remembered in his heart that all the FBI agents in the United States in the 21st century were extremely talented, and he immediately felt relieved to have the help of these people in this matter.

Only then did Liu Chan say: "This matter is up to you."

Seeing Liu Chan's tone of voice, Wang Chong's identity seemed to be against Zhuge Qiao's. Although he hesitated in his heart about the other party's identity, his professional ethics as a secret agent warned himself that he must not speak indiscriminately about things that should not be asked.So he just glanced at Liu Chan secretly, and kept his appearance in his heart.

Then Zhuge Qiao said to Wang Chong: "Commander Wang, before I came to Jiangdong for inspection, my father sometimes praised you for being a capable person. It is indeed a good place to see you today."

Wang Chong couldn't help but secretly rejoiced, and quickly said: "Young master and the military division are overwhelmed. All this is what a villain should do."

Zhuge Qiao nodded, and said in a dignified manner: "Since that's the case, I have an important matter for you to do today. You should know the Gu family, one of the four famous families in Wu County, right?"

"I know. Before the villain came to Jiangdong, the military adviser, the old man, told the villain to collect as much information as possible about the famous families in Jiangdong. The Gu family is very powerful, and they are also among the targets of intelligence collection."

"Well, you can help me investigate the conduct of Gu Yong's son, Gu Shao, and the marriage contract between him and Mrs. Sun. How many days can you finish it?"

Liu Chan saw that Zhuge Qiao seemed to be a completely different person at this time.He didn't ask the other party whether it was difficult to investigate the death, or whether it could be completed. He only asked the other party for the time limit.

Wang Chong thought for a while and said, "The villain will definitely give you an answer within three days."

Zhuge Qiao turned to look at Liu Chan, and seeing that Liu Chan had no objection, he said to Wang Chong: "The investigation must be detailed and detailed. My son will come here to find you in three days."

How dare Wang Chong have any objections, he respectfully sent Zhuge Qiao and Liu Chan out of the shop.After the two got into the car, Liu Chan couldn't help but slapped Zhuge Qiao on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Say, what's going on?"

Zhuge Qiao glanced at Liu Chan proudly, and then explained the ins and outs of the matter.It turned out that before the military commander Zhuge entered Sichuan, he intended to cultivate Zhuge Qiao, so he was temporarily in charge of managing Jiangdong's intelligence network.So of course he knew better than anyone else how many Jingzhou spies there were in Jianye City.

Liu Chan quickly asked: "Then in Jiangdong, how many spies do we have?"

Zhuge Qiao smiled mysteriously, and said: "Secret." Then he told the coachman to set off quickly, he was going home, but it also made Liu Chan's heart itch with curiosity.
