As soon as Shen Cha finished speaking, he saw everyone in the room looking at him with strange eyes.
"What's wrong?" She looked indifferent, "What did I say wrong?"
"No." Song Jue exchanged glances with Shen Haolin and Bai Meng. For the sake of his own life, it was better not to tell the truth. "How are you going to alert the snake? Are you sure you won't get yourself involved?"
"Don't you have the addresses of those shops in your hand?" Shen Cha looked at Song Jue, "Are they large in number? Are they widely distributed?"
"We have left five or six shops for them, which is enough for them to eat and drink for several generations. As for whether they are widely distributed..." Song Jue raised his head and thought for a while, "I heard my father said that they are concentrated on three streets. He looked at Shen Cha and said, "Tell me what you think and let's see if it's feasible."
"I only have a rough plan, and I need you to supplement it." Shen Cha nodded, "Since the shop is in Jiangnan, it is more beneficial to us. Seeing that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, Jiangnan is about to enter the plum rain season. .We can find an excuse to go to their shops to explore and see if their preparations for flood prevention are in place."
"This..." Several people looked at each other, "It's a very good idea."
"Really?" Shen Cha smiled, "Our people can sneak in with the inspection officers, follow them into the shop, and investigate carefully, so that we can know what is going on inside."
"That's right, they can't refuse, otherwise they don't take it seriously, and they can be arrested and locked up for two days." Song Jue nodded towards Shen Cha, "This is a good idea, but it's not enough to alert the snake, and it's not enough to attract their attention. Because Various government offices in the Jiangnan region will inspect the flood prevention situation of key neighborhoods every year during the rainy season, which is already normal."
"I just said it, it's just to provide an idea and to inspire others. Everyone can follow this idea and think of other ways. It doesn't have to be this, right?" Shen Cha shrugged, "As long as we can achieve the goal The purpose is to shock them and make them feel that they can’t handle it on their own and must find the boss behind the scenes to solve it.”
"Hmm... let me think about it!" Song Jue touched his chin, "Do you think you have any tax ideas?" He looked at Bai Meng, then at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "This look It’s almost time to pay all kinds of taxes, will this be enough to alarm them?”
"This..." Shen Cha shook his head, "In their eyes, problems that can be solved with money are not problems. If you say that their accounts are different from what was reported and that they need to pay more money, they will definitely not even blink. I'll pay it to you without batting an eyelid. The important thing is, if you want them to pay a little more, it's okay, but for a particularly outrageous amount, you can't even open your mouth."
"That's true." Song Jue was a little disappointed, "Then what should we do?"
"This..." Bai Meng looked at Song Jue, "I have a solution. This solution has something to do with what happened in Jiangnan recently, but if you listen, don't be angry." Seeing that Song Jue wanted to ask more questions, he waved his hand. , "Promise me first, never get angry or angry. If you can't do it, I won't say anything."
"Okay, okay, okay!" Song Jue said three good words in a row, "Haolin and Xiaocha testify that I will never get angry, angry, curse, or hit anyone. Is this okay? Is that okay? ?”
"Okay, whoever regrets it is a puppy!" Seeing Song Jue nodding, Bai Meng thought for a moment, "We can indeed create some trouble for them."
"Speak quickly, don't hesitate, it's so annoying!" Song Jue saw Bai Meng's hesitation and threw a cushion at him, "What is going on, tell me!"
"Looking at the commander's appearance, I probably know what's going on." Shen Cha raised his eyebrows at Bai Meng, stretched out three fingers, and said with a smile, "If I'm not wrong, it should be related to this, right? Seeing Bai Meng nod slightly, she sighed heavily, "But aren't you worried that if you pretend to be an imposter, you will lure out the real one?"
"Isn't that just right?" Bai Meng smiled bitterly, "It's better than having no clue now, right? Now we don't even know whether he is a boy or a girl, tall or short, fat or thin, let alone Know if it’s one person or a small gang.”
"That's true." Shen Cha thought for a moment, "This method..." She looked at Shen Haolin, who nodded to her, "It's feasible. If done well, it might kill two birds with one stone."
"That's right." Shen Haolin added, "If everything goes well, it can solve the major worries of Jiangnan merchants."
Song Jue listened to them chatting very enthusiastically, but he didn't know the content of the chat at all, so he was still very anxious. He stood up, walked to everyone, patted them one by one, and curled his lips unhappily.
"Can you please explain it clearly? It feels like everyone knows what is going on, but I am the only one who is kept in the dark. This feels particularly bad."
"It's very simple. About a month ago, a strange thief appeared in Jiangnan."
"Monster thief?" Song Jue was stunned, "Just steal, what is a phantom thief?"
"The way he behaves is completely different from other so-called gentlemen in Liang Shang. Most of the shops he visited in the past month or so sell specialties from the south of the Yangtze River. What he lost was not anything valuable, but food, drink, silk, and porcelain. And so on. What is puzzling is that these lost things have not appeared on the market." Shen Cha sighed, "Such cases have appeared in various prefectures in Jiangnan at different times, and all prefectures are urgently investigating these cases. case, but so far there is no clue.”
"Then...how do we know that these things were done by this phantom thief?"
"Every time he commits a crime, he will put a flower on the counter. We can learn from him and put a flower in the shop named by Song Yuesui and Song Junran, and then send people to keep an eye on their movements. Maybe we can achieve the goal. Unexpected effect.”
