Chapter 59 Datongbao Notes
Gu Qianbei eventually offered Sikong Zhaixing a cup of Sunflower Brew.
But it was only one cup.
This wine cannot be replicated, and he doesn't have much left, so naturally he takes out as little as possible.
After Sikong Zhaixing took a sip of the Sunflower Sunflower Wine, his eyes lit up.
"This is indeed fine wine! No wonder Lu Xiaoji has been praising it so much."
It's a pity there's only one cup...
As Sikong Zhaixing spoke, his gaze fell upon Cangguang Hu.
Gu Qianbei quickly noticed his gaze and hurriedly put away the Cangguang Gourd.
"You rascal, I invited you for a drink, you wouldn't be plotting to steal my wine gourd, would you?"
Gu Qianbei was naturally not afraid of Sikong Zhaixing stealing the Cangguang Gourd, because this thing was bound to his soul. Apart from him, anyone else who got it would only have an empty gourd, and not a single drop of wine could be poured out.
Moreover, with a thought, the Cangguang Gourd would immediately appear in his hand, and even if it were stolen, he could retrieve it instantly.
However, Gu Qianbei did not want to easily expose such a secret, so she still had to be wary of Sikong Zhaixing.
This guy's credit isn't great; he's a master at ripping off his friends.
"Haha, Manager Gu, you're overthinking it. I didn't mean that."
Seeing that her little scheme had been seen through, Sikong Zhaixing smiled awkwardly.
Haitang chimed in, trying to smooth things over, saying, "Mr. Sikong, please don't offend Brother Gu. His fine wines aren't limited to Sunflower Sun-Facing Brew."
What he is brewing is Dixi's Thousand Days' Intoxication.
If you offend him, you may not be able to enjoy this thousand-day intoxication in the future.
We need to take a longer-term view.
As the owner of the number one manor in the world, he naturally doesn't want his retainers to have conflicts; it would be best if they could get along peacefully.
"A thousand-day drunkenness?"
As a connoisseur of fine wine, Sikong Zhaixing had naturally heard of this legendary wine, and was filled with surprise and anticipation.
"Is there really someone who can brew such fine wine? I'll definitely have to try it sometime. Manager Gu! If you ever need anything in the future, just let me know!"
Sikong Zhaixing put his arm around Gu Qianbei's shoulder, looking like good buddies.
"Then I won't be polite."
Gu Qianbei laughed.
"Haha, no need to be so polite. Alright, we've had our drinks and met everyone. I'll head over now to find Lu Xiaoji and brag a bit."
"Master, please contact me again if needed."
After saying that, Sikong Zhaixing lightly touched the ground with his feet and used his lightness skill to disappear from their sight in the blink of an eye.
"Impressive lightness skill."
Gu Qianbei's eyes lit up.
He considered himself to be quite skilled in light-body techniques, but compared to Sikong Zhaixing, he was still far inferior.
Of course, this is not a problem with Fengwu Liuhuan, but rather that Gu Qianbei's cultivation level is still too weak compared to Sikong Zhaixing.
"As the king of thieves, Sikong Zhaixing's lightness skill is naturally extraordinary. In this martial world, apart from those who surpass him in cultivation level, there are probably only a handful of people who can compare with him in lightness skill."
Haitang said softly.
As a master thief, lightness skill is a must, and it far surpasses that of martial artists of the same level, and even those of higher levels are rarely matched.
Only in this way can one build a great reputation.
"Your friend, the master thief, is no match for Sikong Zhaixing in this regard."
As Haitang finished speaking, she looked at Gu Qianbei.
Gu Qianbei wasn't surprised, and simply smiled, "It seems the intelligence network of the Number One Manor under Heaven is quite impressive. Brother Bai has been retired from the martial world for two years, yet you still know his whereabouts."
"Although the name of the 'Thief Saint' is famous, most of his crimes are just petty theft. In addition, he has someone protecting him, which is why he has gotten away with it. Otherwise, with the capabilities of the Six Doors, he would have been arrested long ago."
"I believe that."
"Oh? Brother Gu, do you believe my words, or do you believe in the abilities of the Six Doors?"
"Everyone believes it. The struggle between the imperial court and the martial world has never been on the same level. If the imperial court cannot even suppress the martial world, how can the world be at peace?"
Gu Qianbei smiled faintly, a smile that revealed his wisdom in seeing through the essence of things.
Haitang's heart stirred, and she thought to herself, "This person is indeed extraordinary. If his cultivation were not insufficient, he might be able to become the long-vacant Yellow-ranked No. 1 Secret Agent."
Just then, a manager suddenly ran over.
"Master! Something's happened! Zhu Ting has been arrested by the Six Doors!"
"What? What happened? Tell me in detail."
Haitang frowned slightly and asked.
"Yes. Your subordinate is ordered to find Master Zhu Ting, the owner of the Master Craftsman, and persuade him to join the Number One Manor in the World and take the title of Number One Craftsman in the World."
However, after the subordinates arrived at the Zhu family, they heard from Zhu Ting's wife that Zhu Ting had been captured by Luo Ma and Jiang Long from the Six Doors.
The reason is that a batch of counterfeit Datongbao banknotes have recently appeared on the market.
This Datong Baochao (Great Tongbao Note) was jointly issued by the Hua family of Jiangnan and the imperial court. The template for the note was created by Zhu Ting, and no one in the world could imitate it.
After the printing of the paper money was completed, Zhu Ting destroyed the printing plates on the spot in front of the Hua family and the imperial court.
Therefore, Zhu Ting is the most suspicious person among those who produced counterfeit Datong Bao notes at this time.
After listening to the manager's report, Haitang frowned even more.
This is really a troublesome matter.
When it comes to something as fundamentally damaging as counterfeit banknotes, no investigation can be taken lightly.
Gu Qianbei raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
He remembered it because of this case.
That was the first case in the movie "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng".
"This is a problem, but also an opportunity. If the Number One Manor under Heaven can clear Zhu Ting's name, he might agree to join the Number One Manor under Heaven."
As Haitang spoke, she decided to go find Zhang Jinjiu.
After all, Zhang Jinjiu's detective skills are the strongest in the world's number one manor.
Leave professional matters to professionals.
However, you need to have something to persuade Zhang Jinjiu.
Thinking of this, Haitang looked at Gu Qianbei.
"Brother Gu, there's something I need your help with."
"Does the owner want to ask Brother Zhang to investigate this case?"
"Brother Gu has keen insight. This case has far-reaching implications, and we must find out the truth as soon as possible. Among the most powerful manor in the land, only Zhang Jinjiu has the ability to do so."
However, my No. 1 Manor had a prior agreement that if I wanted him to handle a case, I needed a pot of good wine that he approved of.
This is not difficult, but since drinking your wine, Zhang Jinjiu's taste has improved considerably, and ordinary fine wines are no longer pleasing to his eye.
So, I wonder if you could provide this bottle of fine wine.
"A bottle of good wine is not difficult to obtain. However, I have one condition."
"Brother Gu, please speak."
"It will take another month to brew the Thousand-Day Intoxication wine. I don't want to be idle during this time. I want to ask the owner for more materials in advance to brew other fine wines."
"Is it permissible to use the power of the world's greatest brewer ahead of time?"
"Such a small matter, of course!"
Haitang thought Gu Qianbei was going to make some kind of request, but it turned out to be just a small matter, so she immediately agreed.
"Alright! I'll make a list for the owner later, and as for the wine, I'll send it to Brother Zhang's place shortly."
