The shopkeeper noticed the suspicious eyes of the people around him, and his face turned blue and purple, and finally turned pitch black.
The current situation is caused by his desire to covet the money in the hands of these foreigners.
Except for the first day when the shopkeeper sold the jewelry to them in front of the clerk, in the remaining days, he wanted to keep the 20% profit that was deliberately increased for himself, so he received this group of foreigners separately.
Now it seems that everything that happened before was clearly a trap set for him by these bastards.
The shopkeeper figured out the whole cause and effect in just a few breaths, and even glanced at several of his men with suspicion.
Then he shook his head secretly.
It's not that he looked down on these people, but even if they were all sold, they would not be worth 20,000 taels of silver.
Who could that be?
The shopkeeper muttered to himself for a moment, then ordered the accountant he trusted most to go and get someone.
Seeing that the situation was not good, several foreigners wanted to use public opinion to force the shopkeeper to surrender.
However, the shopkeeper did not buy it at all and threatened the people watching the fun.
"These sons of bitches want to steal Master Jiu's treasure. If you dare to let them go today, think about whether you have the nerve to do it."
As soon as these words were spoken, most of the people who were pointing at the shopkeeper left immediately.
Seeing this, several foreigners knew that there was no way to resolve the matter peacefully, so they did not waste any more time and directly groped through their arms, then fired several shots at the shopkeeper and the people who blocked their way.
Because he was quite close, the shopkeeper was shot on the spot and fell in a pool of blood with an expression of disbelief on his face.
Just for that 20% profit, the shopkeeper eventually lost his life.
The gunshots immediately caused a commotion among the people around. For a moment, people on the commercial street fled in all directions. Several foreigners took advantage of the chaos to loot the jewelry store, and then left the commercial street without looking back.
When Yinreng received the news, he was still a little bit unbelievable. It turned out that foreigners could buy it for 0 yuan now.
However, they unexpectedly robbed Lao Jiu of their money and killed people. Maybe these people have had enough of living and want to find a quick way to die?
If this is what they were thinking, they've come to the wrong place.
Although most of the spies in Lao Jiu's hands were handed over to Yinreng, the commercial street was under his full control. It was easy for him to catch a few foreigners who escaped.
but……
Yinreng remembered that when he first ascended the throne, he issued a decree banning guns within the Qing Dynasty.
Logically speaking, these foreigners should not be able to bring guns to the capital.
But how exactly did they do it?
Could it be that someone gave them a backdoor?
Yinreng thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he simply put the matter behind him and made a bet with the eighth brother, betting on when Yinzhen could arrest them.
While Yinsi felt that his second brother was being mischievous, he also honestly gave his opinion.
He felt that Yinzhen could capture those foreigners within a day.
Yinreng gave a conservative estimate of half a day.
However, it only took Yinzhen two hours to capture the group of foreigners.
This is also due to his sensitivity to being "taken advantage of".
Ever since he started his business, Yinzhen has been recording those who have the potential to become big clients in his little notebook.
These foreigners had been buying jewelry for two consecutive days and had been successfully included in his prey list.
Yinzhen originally had no intention of pursuing the 20% profit that the jewelry store owner had embezzled.
After all, the price of the jewelry is set, and how much it can be sold for depends on the ability of the shopkeeper.
Yinzhen admired capable people very much.
But the prerequisite is that he cannot take away what Yinzhen deserves.
It was precisely because of Yin'er's principle that he gathered many "evil businessmen" under his command.
Fortunately, their target customers have never been ordinary people, so Yinreng just let him do what he wanted.
Yinzhen was planning to squeeze some benefits out of these foreigners before they left the Qing Dynasty, but he didn't expect that before he could do anything, these bastards stole his treasures.
And killed his people.
How could Yinzhen possibly bear this?
After the shooting caused chaos, the capital was immediately blocked.
Two hours later, several foreigners with terrified faces were brought before Yinzhen.
After Yinzhen snatched all their bags, he slapped a few of them and then threw them onto a cart like New Year pigs.
He was dragged into the palace.
Yinzhen understood Yinreng and knew that his second brother did not like them killing people at will.
Even if they are guilty, they must be investigated thoroughly before being tried.
What Yinzhen didn't know was that Yinreng's caution only worked for the people of the Qing Dynasty.
Foreigners were not within Yinreng's consideration.
After arriving at the palace, Yinreng carefully questioned these foreigners and suddenly realized that these people were actually squids!
What Yinreng didn't expect was that Squid had already started making plans in the capital before he ascended the throne.
There are already several stores in the capital that are actually controlled by Squid, and their addresses are all in the outer city.
It was not the suburbs as Yinreng thought.
This time, these Youyus targeted Yinzhen because the noble who brought them to the Qing Dynasty to "do business" was too greedy and pocketed the profits that should have been distributed to them. So they wanted to make a fortune when the noble returned to their country, and then return home to live a carefree life.
Yinreng's face suddenly turned dark.
In this day and age, no one knows the despicableness of squid better than Yinreng.
He immediately ordered Yinzhen to take people to search the house.
Although Yinzhen didn't understand why Yinreng attached so much importance to these foreigners, he still took his men to arrest them.
After arresting the people, Yinzhen looked at the confiscated property and secretly curled his lips.
Including their houses and shops, all the property of these foreigners only added up to tens of thousands of taels of silver.
It’s really better to make money faster by arresting corrupt officials.
However, his disdain was soon slapped in the face by reality.
Including the squid who wanted to rob, Yinzhen captured a total of eleven people. After bringing them to the palace, Yinreng did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately began to torture these people severely.
From the mouths of those dozen or so squids, Yinzhen learned that these people had amassed millions of taels of silver and returned to their country during their ten years in the Qing Dynasty.
Moreover, those millions of taels of silver were all "earned" by them through fraud and deception.
Yinzhen was petrified on the spot.
