Chapter 137 Inviting the Enemy into the Trap



At this time, the Wang family cloth shop in Yingzhou Prefecture.

A rice wine stall had appeared not far from the entrance, and a group of hooligans were gathered around it, laughing and chatting...

Waiter: "Manager, should we kick these people out?"

"Forget it, as long as they don't bother our guests, let's just ignore them. A bunch of hooligans love to cause trouble, and at least five out of ten of them are bachelors."

"If only one person is full, the whole family is cold; if one's blood boils and one is instigated, anything can happen; it's better to avoid trouble."

The shopkeeper and his assistant are taking inventory of the fabrics inside the shop.

Manager Wang frowned slightly as he looked at the gauze, which was as thin as a cicada's wing.

"Erniu, have the silk delivery people come recently?"

Shopkeeper: "No, but boss, the silk yarn is selling really well. Logically speaking, one tael of silver per bolt is enough to buy the finest silk."

Why bother buying this silk gauze? It looks nice but is useless. It's too revealing to wear out. It can only be worn as an outer layer. It can be worn directly as outerwear, but it's extremely easy to snag.

It is even more precious than silk.

You can only wear it at home.

It is not as delicate and soft as silk.

I really don't know who's wearing these clothes.

Besides, there are many century-old shops in the city that sell silk fabrics; the truly prestigious and wealthy families might not necessarily buy them.

The shopkeeper frowned.

"Do your job well, and don't say things you shouldn't say."

The man nodded.

"Yes, Uncle."

"I've said it countless times, the way you address someone in the store must be proper, to make the fabric shop seem serious."

Otherwise, it would make us look like a small workshop.

"Yes, shopkeeper."

Manager Wang was also puzzled. Just three or five days ago, a young man dressed as a nobleman suddenly appeared, followed by three or five strong guards.

The young nobleman's clothes were clearly made in the finest fabrics from a large cloth shop in the city.

Even in Yingzhou Prefecture, he had never seen such fabrics and styles.

A chill ran through me.

A noble young man who appeared out of nowhere.

As the saying goes, clothes make the man.

The young man's expression remained calm.

The trusted confidant following behind him glanced at the clothes on the man's body and exclaimed, "Good heavens, even the servants are dressed in the finest silk!"

The servant lowered his voice and said, "Manager, my young master has a business to discuss with you in detail. May I ask if we can speak in private for a moment?"

Manager Wang quickly invited the visitor to the side room.

After several conversations.

Manager Wang learned the purpose of the visit.

The other party's explanation was that the young man was a nobleman from the northern and southern prefectural cities, traveling and sightseeing, and taking the opportunity to see if there were any suitable businesses to earn some money.

Wang Changgui nodded; that was a suitable explanation.

But as he listened, he began to have some doubts.

The other party meant that he wanted to bring in a batch of brocade and silk from the towns below.

Could we temporarily rent a piece of Wang's shop space?

And their sincerity is extremely high.

The main explanation was that they were temporarily renting a corner of the shop from the shopkeeper to display silk and gauze.

The daily rent was ten taels, and a one-month contract was signed.

Shopkeeper Wang was somewhat bewildered. He had been in business for over 10 years and had never encountered a business partner like this before.

I have some concerns.

The young man chuckled and said, "As for the contract, Wang Changgui can find a professional lawyer to review it for any loopholes."

As for the fabrics I bought, the shopkeeper only needed to set them up in one place; he didn't need the shop assistant to introduce them.

I will assign a helper to stand beside the cloth; if the shopkeeper has other plans, he can also arrange for a helper to assist.

After he finished speaking, an unremarkable attendant came out from inside.

Manager Wang frowned.

Some wanted to refuse, but then they thought about the money the other party was offering and became tempted.

After all, who wouldn't love to be paid?

But then I noticed that this young man's face was unfamiliar. What if he had valuables inside and I was involved, and then he turned around and accused me?

The young master seemed to sense Manager Wang's doubts.

Xiaoxiao didn't say anything.

Instead, he whispered to his attendant, "Let's go to the cloth shop next door first."

Manager Wang was slightly taken aback.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately closed it.

Having been in business for so many years, I've encountered all sorts of people.

But the young gentleman was gentle and refined, and spoke in a kind and pleasant manner.

Be neither arrogant nor humble, and act with reason and strategy.

But I'm also afraid this is a trap, that my opponent is specifically targeting me.

He arranged for his men to secretly observe those people.

A short while later they came out of the Da Chuan Cloth Shop next door, and the shop assistants from Da Chuan Cloth Shop even stood up to see them off.

Manager Wang was starting to panic.

What happened?

They then invited the visitor back.

He secretly sent his assistant to find a lawyer who specializes in writing legal documents.

Once the lawyer receives the contract, he will carefully review it.

Shopkeeper Wang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, gave an awkward smile, and greeted the young man.

"Please forgive my rudeness, young master. I've been terrified by some unscrupulous businessmen."

The young man didn't take it seriously.

"learn."

However, what puzzled Manager Wang was that the silk gauze in the forgotten corner was hard to attract people's attention.

Day 1, Day 2, Day 3...

It wasn't until the fourth day that people started to gradually arrive.

These people selected several bolts of their own silk in the shop, but when it came time to pay, they looked around, casually picked up a piece of silk yarn, asked the price, and left indifferently.

Manager Wang didn't take it to heart.

But by the fifth day, things were starting to go wrong.
