Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty issued a series of edicts in an attempt to firmly control the entire country, among which the Dragon Scale Book was the strongest hand to control the practitioners, and the Golden Decree was to centralize the control of money. However, since the death of Emperor Wu, these decrees have also begun to be abolished, especially the latter.

The main thrust of the Golden Decree is to ban all banknotes and local banknotes, which will be issued by the state. However, with the passage of time, there were a lot of problems in the court for a period of time, and even turmoil, the credibility of the Ming Dynasty fell off a cliff, and countless money houses with strong financial resources have emerged one after another, each issuing bills, which has become an important means of assisting coin circulation. After a long time, it was difficult to return, and the Ming Dynasty did not strictly implement Emperor Wu's golden decree, otherwise it would definitely overturn the new pattern that was intertwined, and it would be a turbulent situation that no one wanted to see. In the heavenly capital, which swallows millions of taels a day, there are as many money as cows.

It is extremely difficult to start from scratch, but the money rolls out much faster. By pooling money, issuing bills, doing business, and then dividing the money, it is like feeding chickens food to make them lay eggs, and money banks that make money in this way have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, making countless people rich overnight. The root of the bank's survival lies in the time difference between "feeding and laying eggs", once there is a problem with the flow of funds, no matter how huge the money bank will fall to the ground.

In half a day, a huge amount of 100,000 taels is enough to overwhelm a series of small banks.

With the speed of false rumors is faster than any fast horse, but all those who have bills in their hands rush to the money bank, competing to exchange silver, for fear that the money in their hands will become waste paper in one step at night. The crazy people were far more fierce than the soldiers who charged, and the gatehouses of a series of small money banks such as the Golden Dragon Money Village were trampled into ruins.

Pang Jiushan's method was very simple, he used the silver tickets issued by the small money village to pay for Yicaitang, but only silver was charged for what he sold. As a result, only silver was left in Xuanhemen, and Yicaitang only had silver tickets from the small money village and a large pile of jewels in his hands. As long as the funds of the small money bank can't be circulated, once it falls, Yicaitang will not have a single silver or two!

With the collapse of a series of money banks such as the Golden Dragon Bank, the silver ticket in the hand of Yicaitang immediately became waste paper! In the final analysis, the silver ticket is just a certificate of credibility, and silver is the real money!

In an instant, the hall was empty.

When Pan Yunqi reacted, it was already too late. Even if he wanted to use Yicaitang's family background to support a series of small money banks such as Jinlong Qianzhuang, it would not work, and the crowding of people on the street was enough to gnaw the bones of Yicaitang.

Pan Yunqi sat heavily in the chair, his eyes were dull, his cheeks seemed to be sunken all of a sudden, and he muttered in a low voice, not knowing what he was talking about.

This change is too fast, it seems that Pang Jiushan has made all the preparations, looking for the money bank that is likely to fall in advance, and preparing the people who are ready to go to the money bank to exchange in advance, selling half-price goods to empty the silver of Yicaitang, and crushing the opponent in just an instant!

"Yunqi?!" The fourth aunt who had just entered the house saw Pan Yunqi's appearance, shouted in fright, and hurriedly pounced. "Yunqi, what's wrong with you, Yunqi? Come on! Come on!"

The Pan family was suddenly in chaos, crowded with women's voices.

Listening to the chaotic shouts outside, Pan Yishi's eye sockets sunken deeper, and his eyes were full of indifference, as if he was looking at other people's family affairs. He only got the news from Pan Yunqi this morning and learned about Pan Yunqi's plan. The plan is a good plan, but it's a pity that Pang Jiushan coped with it too well. Pan Yunqi underestimated Xuan Hemen's foundation, and also overestimated his ability to control, and he didn't want to retreat.

Coughing up a mouthful of blood violently, Pan Yishi's eyes were fierce, and he strode out of the door and went straight to where Pan Yunqi was. As soon as he broke into the door, he brutally pushed everyone away, grabbed Pan Yunqi, who was slumped in the chair, and slapped Pan Yunqi violently.

Syllable!

The force of this slap was so great that Pan Yunqi came to his senses, causing the others to lose their voices suddenly, and some tea bowls fell to the ground. The elegant and easy-going old man on weekdays suddenly looks like a beast.

Pan Yishi stared at his son and asked sharply, "Did you lose?"

Pan Yunqi looked at his father blankly and helplessly, as if he saw a glimmer of fire in the darkness.

"Did you lose, I asked?"

Syllable!

It was another very crisp slap, half of Pan Yunqi's face was almost oozing blood, and the corners of his mouth were already bleeding. The pain stimulates the brain and makes people wake up quickly.

"You haven't lost yet! Don't you still have someone in your hands? As long as this person is there, you can win!"

Pan Yunqi finally came to his senses, he looked at his angry father, and suddenly cried bitterly, and roared hoarsely: "I must kill Pang Jiushan!"

The room full of people was stunned by the father and son, and they all froze in place and didn't know what to do.

Pan Yunqi wiped his tears and said in a fierce voice: "When it comes to ancestral property, I want all the killers in Tiandu who can sell their lives! No one in the house is allowed to go out of the house for half a step! Otherwise, these killers will kill you!"

"Young Master......"

"Didn't you understand?!"

Bang! Bang!

As all the big and small doors closed, the Pan family fell into a deathly silence.

In the streets and alleys where there was still stagnant water, there were suddenly more silent people, most of whom wore hats, inadvertently revealing a small piece of sword hidden at their waists, and occasionally raised their heads, with a cold glint hidden in their eyes, and could burst out and kill at any time.

——

Behind the Tiandu Daming Palace, there is the Dongjin Palace where everyone in the world is afraid. Once upon a time, Dongjin Palace was really above 10,000 people under one person, almost slaughtering all strata of the Ming Dynasty, even if the fangs are put away now, it is enough to make the baby stop crying at night. Based on this, Dongjin Palace gives people the impression that it is a more eerie place than the heavenly prison, but in fact it is a quiet courtyard, more like a place for literati and scholars, and there is no blood.

The rain curtain on the eaves is still weaving, but the cold is gone, and the tea in the house does not need to be too hot. The tea here is changed in half an hour, and it is the best tribute tea, but it is rarely drunk, leaving only a faint tea fragrance, and over time, it has become a kind of decoration.

Ye Hongsleeves put his feet on the table, trimmed his fingernails, and said: "Second brother, what are you looking at, it's been a long time, there is a girl waiting for you in the Yanyu Building?

Di Mingyue said with a smile: "Thirty-seven people died in the Gualiu Hutong of Chaomingfang last night, and there was a second realm in it. ”

"Two families are fighting for territory, and it's not normal for people to die? Each person has five hundred taels for the first one, one thousand taels for the first realm, and five thousand taels for the second realm. If you have money, you can kill as much as you like, I like them like this, we are short of silver. "Such a trivial matter is really not worth mentioning, and it should not be something that Dongjin Palace should be in charge of.

"Among them, there may be the top of the Ivy Garden. Di Mingyue checked the people who watched the scenery on the corner tower of Danfeng Gate on the day he came back, and among them was Pang Jiushan.

"Yo, this matter has to be bigger, it's better to provoke that businessman, I haven't seen this man for a long time, and I miss it, I have to take a good look at it, see how embarrassed this man is." ”

"It's okay if you don't see you, I can't protect you. ”

"It's just a businessman, the strongest name in the five realms of kendo is bigger, what are you afraid of. Hey, second brother, where are you going, don't wait for the third brother and the fourth brother to them?" Ye Hongsleeve looked up at Di Mingyue, who was about to walk out of the house, full of puzzlement.

"Let's go to Chaomingfang and have a look. ”

"What is there to go, it's better to go to Yanyu Tower! The affairs of the Wanguo Dynasty have not yet been agreed, and the affairs of the Great True Kingdom are also very troublesome, what are you going to do, second brother? What can be more important than these things? Hey, second brother, you should come back early!" Ye Hongsleeve's eyes were full of doubts, he really couldn't understand why the second brother wanted to see an irrelevant matter, but he didn't stop the other party.

Di Mingyue ignored Ye Hongsleeve's words, held up an umbrella, and walked straight towards Chaomingfang in Dongcheng. For some reason, he always felt that the top of the Qingteng Garden, "Pang Jiushan", seemed to be recognized. If you don't go at this time, it seems like you may miss it forever.

——

Pang Jiushan drank a lot of cups of herbal tea, his stomach was already cold, but his heart was still a little bored. It's past noon, and there is no news of Ning Du.

"Young Master!Young Master!Yicai Hall has suddenly closed!" The hall steward hurriedly ran over, panting and shouting.

Pang Jiushan got up and handed over the herbal tea and asked, "Speak slowly, talk in detail." ”

The steward didn't care about drinking tea, held it in his hand, and said: "Just half a moment ago, Yicai Hall was closed, the shops were closed, and the door of his house was even more closed, and there was no movement inside. ”

Pang Jiushan thought for a moment, couldn't figure out anything, and frowned.

"Young master, what kind of trick is this Yicai Hall playing?"

Pang Jiushan can be sure of one thing now, that is, Yicai Tang did not catch Ning Du, otherwise he would not have closed the gate, but should have attacked Xuanhe Gate immediately. There should be only one purpose for closing the door, and that is to prevent the people inside from coming out, that is, not to let a certain piece of news leak out. What the hell is this news?

At this time, someone ran in again and shouted: "Young master, I helped you go to Qingteng Garden this morning to ask for leave, I agreed at first, but now I let you go over immediately, saying that it is an important matter and cannot be delayed." I asked about anything, but I didn't say anything, I just said to let the real young master pass. The exact words were, 'Let the real come.' ’。 ”

Pang Jiushan stared at him, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Don't go." ”

"There you go. Pang Zhixing walked in from outside the door and looked at Pang Jiushan with an irresistible gaze.

"Father's ......"

"Go. Here I am. ”

Pang Jiushan looked at his father with a haggard face but resolute eyes, nodded, and immediately followed the servant towards the Qingteng Garden. He heard his father's cough that he had endured for a long time, and knew that his father, who had stayed up all day, coughed up blood again, but he didn't look back.

The rain was still dripping, but it couldn't stop anyone's footsteps.
