Chapter 426: Contingency
A jackdaw hovered over the envelope, exuding infinite panic. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
The little guy has been by Qian Weizhen's side for many years, and Mrs. Zhen's letters have only been received twice, and the return is a matter of human life, so he naturally did not dare to slack off, and waited at the mouth of the alley as soon as possible.
Now that he was waiting for his eyes, he finally waited for Qian Weizhen's car to drive, and the little guy hurriedly greeted him.
Hearing that it was a picture of a jackdaw on a moonlit night, Qian Weizhen's face changed abruptly, and he didn't care about calling people, so he lifted the sedan curtain and hurriedly took the letter from the little servant.
The jackdaw crows urgently, as if the sound is inspiring. Qian Weizhen looked at the thin bird like the ink cloud above, and his heart was full of doubts, but a layer of gloom slowly floated, making him breathless.
Seeing that Qian Weizhen's face was not good-looking, the little girl also knew the severity, and carefully passed on the two sentences brought by Mrs. Zhen: "The people in the dart bureau also said that the messenger had confessed and asked them to pass on a word for the recipient: Three autumns are not as long as one wheat, please ask the officials to return to their hometowns." ”
The code words agreed upon a few years ago had never been used, but today they came along with the letter from the dart board. Qian Weizhen sat in the carriage with a cloudy face, and did not give orders to set off for a long time.
Although Mrs. Zhen is his wife in Yangzhou, she has always known priorities.
Knowing that she must avoid suspicion in everything, Mrs. Zhen rarely writes something in black and white, for fear of falling into the hands of others, and adds evidence to it.
The two occasionally exchanged letters, and most of them took the official road in Yangzhou. It is to be transmitted by the official post station, and the text is also extremely obscure. Even if it falls into the hands of someone else, even if the letter is not headed and paid, it will not explain anything.
It was agreed in private that if there was an important matter in Yangzhou, Mrs. Zhen would spend a high price to ask someone from the dart bureau to travel day and night to deliver the letter directly to Qian Weizhen's little servant.
Qian Weizhen also remembered that with today's letter, he had received a total of three moonlit night jackdaw pictures from Mrs. Zhen.
The first time, something happened to the silver car that was quietly escorted to Kangnan Huitong Qianzhuang, and the millions of taels of snowflake silver, together with two priceless jade seals of the Qin Dynasty, and more than 20 lives in the dart game, were wiped out in an instant.
The second time, after the three million official silver transferred to Yangzhou was exchanged by Mrs. Zhen, the three million treasury silver bills hidden in the treasury were stolen by the big shopkeeper of Huitong Money Village and the small thieves outside.
Mrs. Zhen made a quick decision, lost the killer to recover the silver, killed the big shopkeeper and the little thief on the official road, disguised as the appearance of being killed by the robbers, and asked Qian Weizhen to treat the aftermath.
Now this third time, in the midst of an eventful time, what kind of bad news will it be?
Qian Weizhen was stunned for a moment before he realized that he had not yet entered the mansion. Afraid that there would be many people at the mouth of Guishu Hutong, he was in a hurry with 120,000 points, and instructed the coachman to whip the horse to return home quickly, and hurriedly ordered the little servant: "Go to the inner house to spread a word, saying that I have something in front of me, please ask my wife to eat by herself." ”
Sanqiu was anxious and urged the king to return quickly. That sentence was originally a code word, and like the jackdaw, it represented a hundred thousand urgency.
The two are superimposed, urgent and urgent, since the opening of Huitong Qianzhuang, Mrs. Zhen has never used this code word, and there is really something about the collapse in this letter.
Qian Weizhen was extremely anxious. Today, I wanted to find a way to go to the market again, so that I could study the problem of the account books, but now I was distracted by the letter, and my mind was like paste.
Back in the study, Qian Weizhen asked the little maid to guard the door tightly, and then quickly opened the letter. After reading a few lines, Qian Weizhen's face was pale, and he sat on the chair and couldn't move.
Mrs. Zhen's letter was naturally not for the love of the children in the rouge pile, but it was urgent, asking him to hurry up and get an idea.
From its inception to the present, Huitong Money Village has the big Buddha of Qian Weizhen as a backer, and Mrs. Zhen is shrewd, as if it has become the largest money village in Xixia China, and it has also quietly done the business in Kangnan and Jian'an.
In the early years, in order to facilitate the turnover of the bank, Mrs. Zhen introduced a policy that if someone kept the silver in the bank, she not only did not charge a fee, but provided a bonus of two cents.
It was originally a profitless transaction, and the wealth collected by Mrs. Zhen was put to the government for use, and four cents of the fee was charged, and then deducted from the money allocated by the court in the future, without a trace of risk, but from it the net profit of the two cents of the bonus.
Relying on this item, Huitong Bank has also turned over millions of silver over the years, and has also earned a good reputation among the common people. But I didn't want that some time ago, several local squires and wealthy families wanted to recover the silver they had put in the money bank at the same time, saying that they had an urgent need at hand, and all they held were large amounts of documents.
Mrs. Zhen roughly calculated, these Chinese books added up, about five or six hundred taels.
She is busy laundering money on weekdays, and most of the real money and silver have purchased properties in Kangnan, and the remaining silver in her hand is only more than one million taels of silver, which is reserved for weekday turnover, which is worth one or two million taels of silver tickets in each household's hand.
has taken care of Qian Zhuang for so many years, and the talents who can be valued by Qian Weizhen do have some real skills under their hands.
On the one hand, Mrs. Zhen collected the cash to maintain the daily operation of the bank, and on the other hand, she hurriedly entrusted the Yangzhou county guard to guarantee that the three rich families would wait for some time, and she sent someone Pegasus to transfer the money back from the money village in Kangnan.
In the past, I have encountered a similar situation, and the silver is transferred back from other places. Although the road is far away, the quick action is only more than ten days away.
This time it didn't work, Mrs. Zhen's person and the person who came from Kangnan's big shopkeeper met halfway, and Mrs. Zhen knew that Kangnan's Huitong Money Village was suspected of a major case in Beijing, and even the shopkeeper and his companions were put in prison. The shopkeeper tried his best to make money, so he was temporarily out of the prison and hurriedly sent a letter to Mrs. Zhen.
Seeing that the date of silver exchange was approaching, Mrs. Zhen couldn't think about it, so she hurriedly wrote a letter and asked Qian Weizhen to help dispatch and quickly send some cash to Yangzhou for emergency relief.
There have been two similar runs in more than ten years, and Mrs. Zhen's handling was not wrong, but it was only delayed for more than ten days between going back and forth with Kangnan.
Mrs. Zhen repeatedly mentioned in the letter that she felt that the second squeeze in Yangzhou and the accident on Kangnan's side were too coincidental, and she carefully checked the few big households who wanted to exchange silver, but found no problem.
No problem is the biggest problem, Mrs. Zhen was afraid that someone was making trouble for it, so she asked Qian Weizhen to dispatch the silver two for emergency relief on the one hand, and on the other hand to find out who was secretly doing it from the court.
A squeeze mentioned that it did not make Qian Weizhen afraid, nor was it enough to make Mrs. Zhen activate the Jackdaw Diagram and the secret agreement. Both of them have a very keen sense of smell, for fear that there will be bigger waves behind them.
The matter involved Kangnan Guozhong, and it seems that it has nothing to do with the liquidation of the household department by the DPRK and China, but it is not known whether there is a connection or not. Although Qian Weizhen didn't believe that Emperor Chongming's hand could reach out to the border, he smelled something different from it more and more.
Seeing that Mrs. Zhen's analysis was still reasonable, Qian Weizhen thought that this woman was just from Yangzhou Thin Horse, and she was decisive and witty, and this letter came in time.
