Not far from various branches of Qiming Bank, all nine groups of vehicles delivering money were intercepted, and no group survived.
Several bank branches were crowded with people. Under the instigation of thoughtful people, the patience of the farmers was about to run out.
Several people who had withdrawn money left the store and said loudly and rejoicingly: "Fortunately, I came early and got to the front of the line. You see, the money in the bank is running low."
I couldn't see what was going on in the store, I just heard the bad news. The farmers who were crowded together and anxiously waiting to withdraw their money were even more agitated.
Soon people were squeezing in and out of the crowd. While they were squeezing, they kept shouting: "Oh, it seems that we are really going to run out of money. What should we do?"
Soon after the shopkeeper's signal, the security guard took action, rushed into the crowd, and grabbed the person who had just spoken.
Shouted: "Does anyone know this turtle grandson?
Qiming Bank is together with Qiming Chamber of Commerce. Is there any shortage of money when collecting your food?
These are the people who collect your food with copper coins and squeeze you through banks. Do you want to listen to these people's nonsense? '
"And you, a turtle grandson, how do you see that there is no money in there despite so many people? Do you have clairvoyance?"
As the security guards roared, these people finally became quiet.
Those hiding in the crowd had ulterior motives and stopped making noise for fear of being caught out.
Regarding possible problems that may arise in the bank, Zhu Youjian had already asked his subordinates to discuss how to deal with them.
For this kind of behavior of instigating people to withdraw money collectively, banks have already had ways to deal with it.
They are not afraid of hiding in the crowd and spreading rumors. Once caught, Dongchang and Xinwangfu will retaliate. Which one is something little farts like them can bear?
An idle man ran excitedly from the street, shouting as he ran: "It's not good, the silver cart has been robbed. It's terrible, the bank's silver cart has been robbed. The bank is going to collapse."
Following the shouts of the idle men, some people in the crowd inside and outside the bank also shouted in panic: "It's broken, what can I do? My money? What should I use to pay taxes? Oh my God!" The voice was shrill and shocking. Quartet.
What's more, some people were already crying loudly. While crying, he rushed to the counter: "I will take it first, I will take it first. I have an eighty-year-old mother at home and a baby who is still breastfeeding. I can't lose this little money."
The crowd suddenly became chaotic, and the last bit of order was gone. Everyone is squeezing in desperately, hoping to get their hard-earned money as quickly as possible.
The chaotic and crowded crowd may cause a stampede at any time.
No matter how the shopkeeper and the security guard explained, they couldn't calm down.
Qiming Bank is in a big crisis.
The chaos that broke out among the crowded crowd inside and outside the bank quickly attracted the attention of passers-by on the street.
Before anyone could ask, there were a few idle people who explained it vividly and loudly.
"The bank is out of money, and this crowded crowd is all eager to withdraw money. Look, the next few are probably in vain. Wait until you go home and hang yourself!"
Seeing the dubious passers-by, the good-hearted man shook his head, as if he had witnessed it with his own eyes, "The bank's bank car was robbed, I saw it with my own eyes," and then lamented, "Oh, this bank is ruined, the compensation has been determined. .”
The news spread like a plague, and many passers-by who had saved money at the bank came to the bank with their vouchers. Seeing the crowded scene inside and outside the bank, many people joined in. Everyone was afraid that their money would be wasted.
The news spread more and more widely, and half of the capital was in chaos.
In a secret teahouse in the capital, a dozen people who were drinking tea clapped and laughed when they heard the news about Qianzhuang.
One of them complimented loudly: "Brother Zheng is so calculating! Brother Zheng, it seems that Qiming Bank is completely hopeless now, right?"
The person in the first place just smiled faintly in response to the compliment. He was none other than Zheng Yingtai, the owner of Dexing Bank.
In response to the other party's inquiry, he solemnly replied: "The matter is not over yet, and we can't talk about victory yet. We still have to strictly follow the plan."
Zheng Yingtai solemnly bowed his hands to the two people around him, "Next, we will have the two housekeepers. Just follow what we have agreed, and we must not let them relax."
The two people around him were very arrogant. They neither returned the greeting nor answered anything, but just nodded slightly arrogantly.
Zheng Yingtai breathed a sigh of relief, now it depends on how Qiming Bank responds. So far, Qiming Bank's response has not exceeded his expectations.
A boy rushed in quickly, leaned next to Zheng Yingtai and whispered a few words. Zheng Yingtai raised his eyebrows after hearing this.
"As we expected, another silver car came out of King Xin's residence. This time there were 10 cars, and each car was escorted by more than 10 people. This time, Wang Chengen personally led the escort, and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division might not be able to intercept it. ”
Different from ordinary guards, Wang Chengen is a close aide of King Xin, and he represents King Xin. If the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division dares to detain him, they will directly slap King Xin in the face.
If it doesn't happen, it could be a matter of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan.
Even if the commander of the Wucheng Army and Horses Division had ten courages, he would not dare to intercept them.
Like other guards, take it as a street fight, stop making trouble, how can you be so conscientious?
The civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty still want to face shame.
Without the support of officials, Dongchang dared to invite them to tea the next day.
After receiving the news, Zheng Yingtai pondered for a moment, then turned sideways and said to the two arrogant housekeepers beside him.
Zheng Yingtai knocked on the table in front of him unconsciously and continued his analysis: "Looking at the direction of the silver car, it should be towards Chongwen, Zhengyang and Xuanwu where there are the most people. Butler Li and Butler Chen, could you please go there in person? Take the money away from the bank and never ask them to scatter it."
When Butler Li and Butler Chen heard what he said, although they were already prepared, they still looked a bit bitter. This is a rhythm that will directly offend King Xin.
But after touching the banknotes in their arms, they gritted their teeth and nodded, got up and left.
The second wave of silver cars coming out of Xin Wang's residence is marching hard. The road that is usually smooth has so many debris from nowhere that it needs guards to clean it up all the way before it can pass. The bank car moves very slowly.
Chongwenmen Qiming Bank Branch.
Because this store is the closest to the outer city of Beijing, it is most convenient for farmers outside the city to get here. So this is the Qianzhuang branch with the most crowds.
Shopkeeper Zhu of the branch was sweating profusely, and he had shouted until his voice became hoarse. Facing the bustling crowd, he secretly rejoiced in his heart: "Fortunately, the head office left some extra money for me. If there was not enough money, I might not be able to control this situation now."
"There is something wrong with this scene. Someone must be deliberately causing trouble. I don't know how the prince will deal with it." Shopkeeper Zhu always felt that today's situation was a bit strange.
Shopkeeper Zhu looked up and looked outside the store. Why hasn't the silver car come yet? Even if an accident happens to the regular bankroll, it’s time for the pre-registered large-amount bankroll to come, right?
The situation in front of me looked chaotic. Shopkeeper Zhu believes that as soon as the silver car comes, he will open the silver box and put it high. No matter how chaotic the crowd is, seeing the white money will quickly calm down the scene.
