Half an hour ago, Wei Zhongxian sent someone to tell Zhu Youjian about the impoundment of the silver car.
Along with it comes a list.
When he learned that the silver car had been impounded, Zhu Youjian couldn't believe it for a moment.
You know, this is the capital, the center of the Ming Dynasty, at the feet of the emperor.
Who dares to seize a silver car on the street?
What's more, this is the silver car of Prince Xin's residence.
But then, the news from various branches also confirmed this.
Looking at the long list in his hand, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Good guy, there are so many people involved in this matter. For example, Pingjiang Bofu and Wuqing Houfu are both big customers of Qiming Bank. Both of them have deposits of more than 100,000 taels. Unexpectedly, they are also closely related to this conspiracy. Related.
"Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust."
"Wang Chengen immediately went to the bank and took out 500,000 silver, and then personally escorted him to various banks."
"Follow your orders"
"Come out on the 11th. You will have the 12th follow the convoy with a gun. If anyone blocks it, you will shoot at the convoy."
"As commanded."
No. 11 is the 11th biochemical soldier obtained by Zhu Youjian. Zhu Youjian was retained because of his special skills in exploration.
Responsible for training secret guards under the title Zhu Youjian.
The secret guard is a supervisory agency like the exhausted Jin Yiwei set up by Zhu Youjian.
In order to ensure loyalty and confidentiality, the entire secret guard currently has less than 200 people in total. Except for three biochemical soldiers, the rest are all orphans.
And except for the three biochemical soldiers, the rest of them had no idea that the object of their allegiance was King Xin.
...
"Your Highness, why are you here?" Not long after setting off, Wang Chengen discovered King Xin hiding in the plywood of the sedan.
"Xu. I want to see who is so bold and dares to cause trouble for me. Keep your voice down and don't let anyone know that I am here."
"Your Majesty, I obey." Although he didn't know what His Majesty King Xin had in mind, Wang Chengen still believed in the security of the capital, not to mention there were hundreds of guards around him. There is no need to worry about the safety of His Highness King Xin.
When I think about His Highness King Xin, once he reaches adulthood, he will be sealed and can only stay in the sealed city for the rest of his life. Wang Chengen...
...
At this time, Chongwenmen Qiming Bank Branch
At the crowded entrance of the bank, three or four people struggled to squeeze in.
"Oops!" When he saw the person coming, shopkeeper Zhu hurried forward and took several people to a quiet room under the cover of security guards. Shopkeeper Zhu gave up his seat and apologized: "I'm sorry for frightening Butler Chen. Please take a seat first."
Shopkeeper Zhu recognized the visitor, and it was Butler Chen from the teahouse. He is the third steward of Pingjiang Bofu and has recently had some business dealings with the bank. The withdrawal plan reported was made by him.
Without even taking a breath, Butler Chen asked directly and unceremoniously: "Where is the silver? Shopkeeper Zhu, at the beginning of this year, I was ordered to come to pick up the silver. Our uncle is still waiting at the house."
Although he was prepared in his heart, shopkeeper Zhu still felt his head buzzing, and he thought to himself: "How come we are all so rushed? Isn't this obviously adding to the chaos?"
At the same time, he secretly hated his mistake, but he said with a smile: "Steward Chen, look at the mess outside, isn't it inconvenient?"
Butler Chen's face immediately darkened.
Shopkeeper Zhu saw that the other party's face was not very good, so he quickly explained: "Look, the bank here is in a mess now, and it's not very safe, isn't it? How about your 30,000 taels of silver, how about our bank deliver it directly to your house?"
Butler Chen frowned, but said with a straight face: "Shopkeeper Zhu, you have heard about our uncle's temper. If I want to go back empty-handed, wouldn't I be asking for trouble! Don't worry, I brought a guard. I'll give you the money." It can definitely be brought back safely. Just get it quickly."
Seeing that Butler Chen was unwilling to be accommodating, Shopkeeper Zhu felt helpless and could only pray in his heart, "Hurry up and don't let anything happen."
A similar scene is taking place at the Xuanwumen branch of Qiming Bank.
Compared with Butler Chen, Butler Li is more arrogant.
As soon as he entered the bank, he shouted directly to the shopkeeper Wang of the water store of the bank: "Shopkeeper Wang, I came to pick up the money on the order of the Marquis. Is the money ready? Quickly, don't waste your time."
The loud clamor attracted sideways glances from surrounding farmers waiting to withdraw money.
"Brother Li, Brother Li, keep your voice down, keep your voice down, come this way." Shopkeeper Wang saluted and hurriedly moved Butler Li and his entourage to the quiet room.
Butler Li shouted as he walked: "Old Wang, it's not that I don't give you face, but your bank won't be able to take out just such a small amount of money, right? If you really can't take it out, who would dare to deposit money with you?"
Shopkeeper Wang wanted to shut up Butler Li's foul mouth, but he still had to put a smile on his face and lead him into the quiet room diligently.
After much anticipation, the silver cart was finally delivered to the Qianzhuang store, and the guards handed the silver cart into the hands of shopkeeper Zhu.
Shopkeeper Zhu opened the chain and organized the guards to carry the silver box into the store in public.
Just as Shopkeeper Zhu was about to open the silver box and show it to the public, Butler Chen stepped forward. Butler Chen said with some embarrassment: "Shopkeeper Zhu, you see the money has arrived. Should we hand it over quickly? Our uncle is still waiting?"
Hearing what Butler Chen said, Shopkeeper Zhu said with some annoyance: "Steward Chen, you have also seen what is going on in the store now. Give me some face and let me use it for a while. It will only take a cup of tea at most. No It will delay your return home."
How dare Butler Chen let him show it off. Once the silver box is opened and the money is displayed, the news that Qiming Chamber of Commerce has no money that was painstakingly fabricated before is self-defeating.
These people's confidence in Qiming Chamber of Commerce will rise again.
Once farmers' confidence is restored, their plans may fail.
Butler Chen came here this time to put an end to this phenomenon. How could he be so tolerant in private?
This is absolutely not okay.
no solution anymore. "
The smile on Butler Chen's face faded and he said loudly and impatiently
: "I'm considerate of you, but my uncle won't be considerate of me. Shopkeeper Zhu, you'd better give me the money as soon as possible. There's no problem with my procedures."
Steward Chen's voice was surprisingly high-pitched, making Shopkeeper Zhu's ears buzz.
Looking at Butler Chen's appearance, Shopkeeper Zhu felt a little puzzled.
"Butler Chen is usually gentle and courteous in his speech, never domineering. What happened today? Even if you don't want to help, you don't have to speak so loudly and rudely, right?"
"Could Uncle Ping Jiang be the mastermind behind this? No, it's impossible for the forces close to Uncle Ping Jiang to cause this. If it doesn't work, tell the prince quickly."
Everyone had discussed this kind of thing in Prince Xin's Mansion, and this phenomenon was called a run wave by Prince Xin.
To deal with bank runs, the first step is to restore the confidence of depositors.
The simplest way is to let everyone see that the bank has money.
Shopkeeper Zhu has always kept these words of King Xin in mind.
