After confirming that it was correct, the old steward put down the jade pendant and turned his attention to Lu Jing again, "Forgive me for being blind, is this your first time coming to our Taiping Bank? I don't know what to call you?"
"Oh, my surname is Lu, just call me Lu Dalang." Lu Jing said.
"I am Qu Zhong, the steward of Taiping Bank. Lu Dalang can call me steward Qu." After the old steward introduced himself, he paused and continued, "I heard from Liu'er that Lu Dalang is here this time for Mr. Nan Zhai's loan." Save money.”
Lu nodded, "That's right."
"I don't know Mr. Lu Dalang and Nan Zhai..."
"We can be considered friends."
"Those two must be inseparable." Manager Qu said, stroking his beard.
Lu Jing was startled, "Why do you say that?"
"Because according to Mr. Nanzhai's handwriting, you can completely act on his behalf, which means that the 3.6 million taels of silver he has at the Taiping Bank are also at your disposal."
"Where did the three million and six hundred thousand taels come from?" Lu Jing was confused. "Isn't it two hundred thousand less?"
Lu Jing also thought of something in the middle of speaking, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, "You mean that guy has a total of 3.6 million taels with you?"
"Not bad." Manager Qu looked at Lu Jing with a strange expression.
As the chief executive of Tianping Bank, he usually deals with wealthy businessmen, many of whom spend large sums of money, but this is the first time he has seen someone like Mr. Nanzhai trusting others with millions of dollars.
Lu Jing was also a little distracted at the moment. He had already known that Hanshanke was rich, but he still didn't expect that the other party was so rich.
This was... somewhat beyond his imagination.
Who on earth could treat more than three million taels of silver as spare cash? And judging from Hanshanke's appearance, he actually didn't care too much about the two hundred thousand taels he had thrown away.
If Lu Jing hadn't gone to him, he might have left it alone.
It can be seen that he really has no interest in things other than immortality.
Of course, what makes Lu Jing most admired or incredible is that Hanshan Guest didn't enjoy himself with so much money. He went to Jinghu Valley to eat the wind and drink the dew. He has been sleeping in a tree for more than ten years. It would have been something he would have done in his place. less than.
"About the two hundred thousand taels of silver." Qu Guan coughed and spoke again, bringing Lu Jing's thoughts back to reality. "I was not at the bank that day. There was another steward on duty, but afterwards I also asked him.
"He said that the man called himself Mr. Nan Zhai, but it was strange to say that it was not long ago, but he had no impression of the man's appearance and clothing, but he was sure that he had carefully checked the token at that time.
"I believe what he said, because he is also an old man in the bank. He was just a waiter in the bank at first. Because he worked hard and carefully, he slowly sat in the position of management.
"He may not be the smartest person in the Taiping Bank, but he is definitely one of the most reliable people, and two hundred thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. There is no way he would not use the token as a token.
"In addition, there is Mr. Nanzhai's signature and signature over there in the accounting room." Manager Qu said, "I just sent someone to pick it up, and I asked Lu Dalang to wait for a moment."
"Okay." Although Lu Jing was entrusted by Hanshanke to handle the matter of missing money, he actually didn't have any useful clues at hand, so it was necessary to check with Taiping Bank according to the normal procedure first.
After a while, the same waiter who had received Lu Jing earlier came in with a ledger.
He handed the account book to Manager Qu, who opened it, turned to one of the pages, and spread it out in front of Lu Jing, "Here, thirty-three days ago, at the second quarter of Xu, Mr. Nanzhai came to the bank to withdraw money. One hundred thousand taels.”
Lu Jing looked over and saw a line of small words like this, and there were also letters and seals underneath.
Not to mention that the calligraphy was really similar to the calligraphy in Hanshanke's handwriting, Lu Jing couldn't see any difference anyway, and the same was true for the seal.
Later, Manager Qu also explained to Lu Jing, "There are many ways to deposit money at Taiping Bank. At the beginning, Mr. Nanzhai chose tokens and seals, so we generally only recognize these two things and not people.
"However, it has been almost forty years since Mr. Nanzhai came to save money. During these forty years, he has not touched the money. To be honest, we are even doubting whether he has encountered something unexpected.
"But last month he suddenly showed up and took away 200,000 yuan. This made me pay attention, so I sent a letter to the address he left before and told me about it. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be true. Something went wrong.”
After Guanshi Qu finished speaking, he glanced at the expression on Lu Jing's face, only to find that the young man in front of him was much calmer than he thought and remained calm.
After a moment, Lu Jingcai added, "If someone forges a token and a seal, and imitates Mr. Nanzhai's calligraphy to defraud the two hundred thousand, I wonder how Taiping Bank is going to deal with it."
"There are hundreds of banks, large and small, in the capital, but only three have been operating for a hundred years, and Taiping Bank is one of them. There is a reason why we have been able to open our business for so long and make our business as natural as it is today. If things are really as you said, then we will naturally compensate Mr. Nanzhai for the full amount of money."
Manager Qu said without hesitation, but then he changed the subject again, "But you need to prove first that Mr. Nanzhai did not take the money."
"Sounds very reasonable." Lu Jing said, and then asked, "Is the steward who was responsible for receiving Mr. Nan Zhai that day at the bank now?"
"Oh, Mr. He is off today. If you want to ask him about what happened that day, you can go to Niuxing Street. His home is there. You can find it by asking anyone nearby."
Lu Ding nodded, "Thank you very much. I would like to ask Manager Qu to keep an eye on the remaining money for the time being and not to withdraw it to others for the time being, even if that person has a token or seal in his hand."
"Okay," Manager Qu saw Lu Jing getting up, so he also stood up from his seat and escorted him out of the bank.
When he returned to the street outside, Lu Jing waved to the black cat on the roof. The latter jumped down and landed on Lu Jing's shoulder again, licking his lips with satisfaction.
Lu Jing was slightly taken aback when he saw this, "You've started dinner so soon. What are you eating, let alone the wealth I'm in urgent need of recently."
This place was full of banks, gold shops and so on. Lu Jing felt that the chance of getting rich was quite high. Seeing the black cat chirping, he also became greedy.
However, Black Cat shook his head.
"Is it bad luck?"
This time Black Cat nodded.
"Okay." Lu Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "Did you really not see any fortune during the time I came in?"
Black Cat shook his head again, Lu Jing was a little disappointed, "Okay, let's look for it again."
