"Madam, we have found out that the person behind the sale of Five Stone Powder is Cao Liang, the Marquis of Gaolingting and the son of the Cavalry General Cao Yan." The chief shopkeeper truthfully reported the results of the investigation to the noble lady in purple.

In fact, it is not difficult at all to get this result. Although for most buyers, they really don’t know who the boss behind the scenes is, but as long as they are willing to investigate and follow the clues, they can quickly find out the truth.

The big shopkeeper of Yipinju first targeted He Yan, because most of the Five Stone Powders circulating so far were made by He Yan.

Of course, the people in Yipinju didn't have the guts to ask He Yan in person. Instead, they took a roundabout way and bribed the servants of the He family. Then they found out that it was He Yan who Cao Liang had sold the five stones to in bulk.

As for whether there is anyone else above Cao Liang, the shopkeeper of Yipinju cannot be sure, because the information he has heard is limited to this level, and it is beyond his power to delve deeper.

In fact, they couldn't investigate any further, because Cao Liang was the one they identified as the culprit, the boss behind Xiaoyao Wushisan.

"Cao Liang?" The image of the young man selling the sword suddenly appeared in the mind of the noble lady in purple. Although Cao Liang did not inform his name at that time, as the most astute businessman, how could he not inquire about the other party's identity?

Woolen cloth?

At that time, in order to trick Cao Liang into getting the Cold Iron Sword, the noble lady in purple even acted out a painful love show. Although the cost was high, she finally got the Cold Iron Sword.

For Yipinju, there is nothing that is unaffordable, even if the cost is very high, it can still be sold at a higher price.

However, Cao Liang left a deep impression on the lady in purple. He was calm, cunning and shrewd. He did not become kind because of the lady in purple's tearful erotic performance. In the end, he gave her a hard blow, which made her heartache.

Besides, I also secretly remembered Cao Liang.

I originally thought that after that encounter, I would no longer have anything to do with him, but I didn't expect that just a few dozen days later, he would be involved because of the Xiaoyao Five Stones Incident.

"I didn't expect that this Xiaoyao Five Stone Powder would come from his hands?" The lady in purple mused secretly.

This result is indeed quite unexpected to her. Previously, she was more suspicious of those wealthy and powerful families. She believed that only those big families had profound backgrounds and strength, and could compete with Yipinjuyi.

possible.

But I didn't expect that the person who finally surfaced would be just a young man in his early twenties, and the Gaolinghou Mansion was far from being a big family with a profound foundation. It was just a side branch of the Cao clan. The lady in purple was no longer

No matter how you think about it, you will never associate Wu Shi San with Cao Liang.

The noble lady in purple said in a deep voice: "Have you obtained the sample of Xiaoyao Five Stone Powder?"

The big shopkeeper immediately presented a pack of Five Stone Powder and said, "My slave has already sent someone to buy some copies of Five Stone Powder. Please take a look at it, Madam."

Purchasing the Five-Stone Powder is easier than seeking information. As long as you are willing to pay, you can buy the Five-Stone Powder from any store.

The noble lady in purple opened the paper bag and looked at it carefully, but she was not convinced of Wushi Powder after all, and it was difficult to tell the difference between this Xiaoyao Wushi Powder and her own Wushi Powder.

"How effective is this Five Stone Powder compared to the Five Stone Powder in our store?"

The big shopkeeper didn't dare to hide it, so he told the truth: "Madam, I have already tried it, and the efficacy and quality are indeed superior to our Five Stone Powder."

The lady in purple frowned slightly. Wu Shi Powder has always been the pillar product of Yipinju. In order to monopolize the market of Wu Shi Powder, the lady in purple also worked hard to find high-paying formula wizards of Wu Shi Powder. It can be said that Luoyang is the most

The top formula magicians are all concentrated in the first level residence.

Because of this, the Wushi Powder produced by Yipinju is of the best quality and has the best efficacy. It is highly recognized by celebrities and scholars, and Yipinju's Wushi Powder is able to dominate the market.

But now, the quality of the Wushi Powder prepared by Cao Liang has actually surpassed that of Yipinju's Wushisan. Not only has Yipinju's monopoly been broken, but it is also very likely that it will come from behind and replace Yipinju's previous position.

Of course this is something the lady in purple cannot tolerate.

"Then where did Cao Liang get the formula for Xiaoyao Five Stone Powder?"

"This slave is unknown. I also tried to send people to get close to the people in the Gaolinghou Mansion, but the people in the Gaolinghou Mansion were all very vigilant. They had obviously received Cao Liang's care, and there was no way to deceive the truth at all.

Come out." The big shopkeeper said helplessly.

In fact, he has used a lot of methods, but still got nothing.

The noble lady in purple said solemnly: "We must find out how Cao Liang obtained the formula. This is the most critical thing."

"Nuo." The big shopkeeper didn't dare to complain at all and bowed down to accept the order.

The noble lady in purple said again: "Go and find the warlocks who prepare the medicine and let them try to prepare the medicine based on this finished product to see if they can prepare the same five-stone powder."

The big shopkeeper suddenly realized. Madam understood that what was in front of her was the ready-made Five-Stone Powder. She called in the magicians who prepared the medicine and asked them to compare the Five-Stone Powder. She really didn’t believe that the Five-Stone Powder could not be matched with the same quality.

The stones scattered.

"Madam Shengming, I will send someone to call you right now."

Not long after, six warlocks in Taoist robes were summoned. The leader was a warlock who was about seventy years old, with white hair and silver beard. He had the appearance of an immortal Taoist. He was Gongsun Zheng, the chief dispensing warlock of the first rank.

The remaining five people were all dressed in Taoist robes and ranged in age.

After the six warlocks arrived in the lobby, they all bent down to salute the lady in purple: "See you, Madam."

The noble lady in purple nodded slightly, reserved and noble, and said slowly: "Taoist Master Gongsun, I invite you to come here this time because I want you to try to prepare a higher quality Five Stone Powder. The sample is here, please refer to it for details.

one time."

The lady in purple waved her hand, and a maid immediately came forward and delivered six portions of the five-stone powder on a tray to the six warlocks.

Gongsun Zheng bowed his head and just went to check out the samples of Wushi Powder. He looked left and right and tasted it himself. His expression was very solemn. After reading it, he said to the noble lady in purple: "Madam, I forgive you for your incompetence.

It’s really impossible to prepare a better Five Stone Powder than this Five Stone Powder.”

The lady in purple clothes was a little disappointed and said: "Gongsun Taoist Master is the master of Five Stone Powder. There is no one in Luoyang City who can match him. With the master's ability, he can't prepare such Five Stone Powder. It's really disappointing."
