Chapter 36: Overturning the Dog Food Bowl (Part II)
PS: Because of natural and man-made disasters, I have been missing for a day, and I have fallen miserably on the new book list, crying and begging for flowers to rush to the list...... οΌ
"Dad, brother took a look at the bacon!" The youngest son of Qian Cheng, the owner of Jufeng Yinhao, shouted, pointing to the bacon on the table and asking Qian Cheng to report and invite merit. And Qian Cheng, who was as thin as a reed, first glared at his eldest son who was cowering, and shouted angrily: "Salty you little rabbit cub!" After that, Qian Cheng glanced at the plate of salted meat that had not been touched by a single chopstick, and bit down the stick noodle in his hand, imagining the salty and delicious taste of the salted meat.
"Master, it's not good, it's not good!" The frightened shouts of the family interrupted Qian Cheng's imagination of the salted meat, and with this anxious shout, a family member stumbled into the room, panting and shouting: "Master, the Yongxing Street Silver Treasury has come to report, just now some Huazi outside the Hade Gate somehow rushed into the city and went in the direction of our silver store!" β
"Afraid of what?" Qian Cheng picked up the small half of the nest that fell to the ground in fright, and said angrily: "I thought something big had happened, what are you afraid of?" There are 700 kudings in the silver treasury, and there are still troops from the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion and the servants of the Shuntian Mansion in the city, and there are still a few called Hanako? What's all the fuss? β
"Master, it's not a few Hanako!" The sweaty man stomped his feet and shouted, "It's tens of thousands of flowers!" Filled up several streets, and the situation scared people to death! β
"Tens of thousands of Hanako?! Why didn't you say it earlier? Qian Cheng was so frightened that he didn't even notice that his head fell to the ground, he jumped up and rushed out shouting, "Quick, hurry up and go to the silver vault!" Go and send a letter to Lord Wu, the Admiral of the Nine Gates! "Qian Cheng is really anxious at this moment, Yongxing Street Silver has more than four million taels of silver and a large number of jewelry and jade, most of which are stored there by the princes and magnates of the capital, if there is an accident in the silver treasury, even if Qian Cheng can resist it, he refuses to hang himself and wipe his neck, those dignitaries who are as fierce as wolves and cruel as tigers will also pick up Qian Cheng's skin! However, Qian Cheng, who never believed in anyone, still carried the wooden box containing the secret seal with him before going out, just in case.
As the family Ding said, when Qian Cheng rushed to Yongxing Street, where the silver vault is located, Yongxing Street was already crowded with Huazi, and several surrounding streets were also crowded with people calling Huazi and watching the lively crowd, and the shouts of Huazi could be heard everywhere, "Where is the porridge shed?" Where is the soup kitchen? Where exactly is the Wing Hing Street porridge shack? "And the more than 100 officials of the Shuntian Mansion who rushed to maintain the order are still dutiful, but among the tens of thousands of flowers, they are just a drop in the bucket and do not play a role.
"Why are there so many Hanako?" Qian Cheng complained bitterly, and hurriedly grabbed a servant of the Shuntian Mansion on the side of the road and asked, "Master Jun, how did so many Huazi enter the city?" Why did they come to Wing Hing Street? What about the military master of the infantry army who commanded the yamen? Why didn't you come to drive these Hanako? β
"How did Hanako get into the city? Rushing in, of course! The anxious servant replied angrily: "I don't know if it was the wind set by the son of the bastard turtle, saying that someone on Yongxing Street opened a porridge shed to give porridge, and of course these hungry and crazy people called Huazi rushed in lifelessly." Look at this posture, these Hanako won't get out of the city if they don't drink porridge today! Speaking of this, the official scolded again: "Damn, these poor ghosts have finally entered the city once, and they will definitely not go out of the city obediently, we have to be busy these days." β
"...... the person who commanded the yamen of the infantry army?" Qian Cheng originally wanted to ask Wu Liuyi why he didn't send the army to suppress the refugees, but he was dispersed by a crowd of people who rushed to Yongxing Street. In desperation, Qian Cheng had no choice but to squeeze to Yongxing Street, wanting to go to the bank treasury to personally preside over the defense, but unfortunately Yongxing Street was already crowded, not to mention people, even a needle could not be inserted. When Qian Cheng was at a loss, a quick-witted family pointed to the roof of the house on the side of the road and said, "Boss, it's no problem for us to go to the roof." β
"Good idea, go back and give you processing money." Qian Cheng was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered: "Quickly put me on the roof, leave two people to find Ao Xiangye, and ask him to send troops to suppress it!" His old man has 1.9 million taels of silver in his account, and if he ignores us, his old man's silver will be lost. Quick, must be fast! β
Because he likes to steal melons and touch dates when he is a child, it is not the first time that Qian Cheng has worn the eaves of the house, and he is quite flexible when he walks through the roof, at least he did not fall off the roof. But what Qian Cheng didn't expect was that because of his leading role, those hungry and crazy called Huazi did the same, climbed onto the roof one after another, and also squeezed in the direction of Yongxing Street, but unfortunately these gang of thieves called Huazi were not as good as Qian Cheng, and many people didn't climb far before they either fell off the roof, or stepped on the roof tiles and fell into the house, causing bursts of screams and screams, making the already chaotic scene even more chaotic.
For security reasons, the silver vault of the Jufeng Silver is a large independent mansion, and it is more than 20 zhang away from the nearest neighbor, so as to prevent thieves from passing through the wall next door or digging tunnels underground to steal. Usually it is safe, but now the consequence is that the silver vault is surrounded by Huazi, not to mention, Qian Cheng finally climbed to the roof of the nearest neighbor's house, but there is no way to enter the silver vault. Fortunately, Qian Cheng's mind is also quite flexible, and in a hurry, he took out a handful of copper coins and shouted to Huazi under the roof: "Whoever carries us into the opposite mansion, the money is his!" β
"We lift, we lift." Those who called Huazi came to Yongxing Street and didn't find the porridge shed, and they couldn't quit if they wanted to, and there were copper plates to earn between hunger and cold. In an instant, old or thin hands were raised, carrying Qian Cheng and his dozen or so famous masters from the top of the crowd to the gate of the silver vault. But Qian Cheng, who was stingy by nature, was not reluctant to take that handful of copper coins, and just entered the gate of the silver vault, he squeezed into the door with a rolling belt, saving the handful of copper coins, and at the same time provoked a burst of scolding from the flowers, if it weren't for the silver treasury Kuding holding a bright steel knife in front of the gate, these angry refugees were only afraid to rush in and tear Qian Cheng to pieces.
"How? How's it going? As soon as he entered the gate of the silver vault, Qian Cheng didn't have time to take a breath, so he grabbed a kudin casually and asked. Nakudin replied, "Don't worry, sir, when Hanako first began to call Hanako, the brethren were on guard with their fellows, and they did not dare to come in with a hundred dares from those who called Hanako." From the beginning to the present, no one called Hanako has come in. β
"That's good, that's good. Damn, it almost scared me to death. Qian Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart that fortunately, these Huazi were all refugees who fled from Shandong, Shanxi, Zhili and Henan, and almost no one knew that this was a silver treasury where a large number of silver taels were stored. But Qian Cheng's relaxation didn't last long, and suddenly he heard someone outside the courtyard shouting, "This is the silver vault of Jufeng Yinhao, and there are millions of taels of silver in it!" "If you take a single ingot of the silver in it, you can feed and wear the family for a year!"
"Grandma's, quick, hurry up and prepare knives and guns!" Hearing the shout, Qian Cheng was so anxious that his face turned blue, and he hurriedly commanded the Kuding to be on strict guard, ready to stop the hungry and crazy Huazi at any time. But the house leak happened to rain overnight, and a dozen or so kudin shouted almost at the same time, "Ouch, ouch, my stomach hurts." "Brother, my stomach can't hold it, I'm going to the thatched house, help me keep an eye on it." "Ouch, my stomach can't hold up, I'm going to pull." In just a moment, almost all the Kuding screamed that their stomachs hurt, and they were scrambling to go to the thatched house for convenience, so anxious that Qian Cheng even jumped and shouted, "When is it, hold it back for me, wait for this momentum, I will give you a reward!" β
"Master, I can't hold it anymore, I'm about to pull it into my stomach." A kudin cried out in pain. At this time, Qian Cheng also realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What did you have for lunch?" Why are they all pulling up their stomachs? β
"Kyo sauce shredded pork!" All the Kuding replied in unison - after all, under Qian Cheng, it is rare to eat a few fishy meals throughout the year, and it is strange that these Kuding are not impressed. Answer: Answer, these mortal kudin still can't resist the power of the drug, or sneak to the thatched house, or find a hidden place to solve it on the spot, or even simply untie the belt of the trouser to make it convenient on the spot. At this critical juncture, the defense of the treasury was paralyzed.
"Call Dong Gang's head!" It must have been that there was a problem in the meal, Qian Cheng was furious, and ordered someone to call Dong and the others in the kitchen to question, but before Qian Cheng's words fell, the family he brought suddenly pointed to the distance and exclaimed: "Master, our house is on fire!" Qian Cheng hurriedly looked in the direction of his house, and sure enough, the smoke was billowing from the direction of Qian Cheng's house in the distance, and a fire had already been lit. Frightened, Qian Cheng hurriedly knelt down and prayed, "Save the suffering and save Guanyin Bodhisattva, please bless me not to catch fire in my house, the general ledger of the sixteen divisions could have been placed in my house." β
"It's on fire!" Another Kuding suddenly screamed, and Qian Cheng, who was kneeling on the ground praying sincerely, said impatiently: "See, be careful and be on guard, don't let those called Hanako rush in." β
"Master, there's a fire in the kitchen of our silver vault!" Several of the kudin replied with exclamations at the same time. Qian Cheng, who was so frightened, looked back and saw that a raging fire had really lit up in the kitchen of the silver vault, and it happened that the wind in Beijing had been strong in the past few days, and the fire spread in the blink of an eye. Without waiting for Qian Cheng to say anything, the ill-intentioned villains outside got the signal and immediately shouted at the Huazi crowd: "Folks, the silver vault is on fire, go in and grab the silver!" "Grab the silver, you can eat if you have it." Immediately afterwards, there was a "knock knock" sound at the closed courtyard gate.
"Quick, block the door." Qian Cheng slapped his leg and beat his chest and shouted, but unfortunately these Kuding people are all in abdominal pain now, so they can still stand up and block the gate, let alone carry a knife to stop in front of the gate. Suddenly, there was a loud bang from the courtyard gate and smashed open, and more than a dozen mud-covered flowers rushed in, Qian Cheng hurriedly shouted: "Get out, this is the silver treasury land, trespassing is to kill the head, if you don't want to die, get out of Laozi!" Come on, kill these trespassers called Hanako! β
"Heavenly Father and Mother Earth, anti-Qing and regain sight! The heroes of the Heaven and Earth Society do things, and if you don't want to die, get out of the way! The gang of villains disguised as Hanako was obviously prepared, shouting the slogan of the Heaven and Earth Society, pulling out a short knife and dagger from his body, and pounced on the family members who were squatting on the ground and diarrhea, harvesting the life of Kuding who had no power to resist like chopping melons and vegetables, and the people outside the courtyard called Hanako either wanted to recover the copper plate promised by Qian Cheng, or because it was really crowded outside, they poured into the silver treasury courtyard intentionally or unintentionally, and the courtyard suddenly became chaotic.
"Here's silver, there's silver!" At this time, there was a shout from the independent silver vault, and Qian Cheng, who was already so anxious that he was about to be paralyzed, looked at it, only to see that the sealed iron door of the silver vault had been opened at some point, revealing the silver shining in the treasury, and Qian Cheng's cousin, who was in charge of the key to the silver vault, was dead on the spot, and blood flowed far away along the snow. Seeing this scene, Qian Cheng couldn't support it anymore, his hand stroked his chest and went limp, foaming at the mouth.
"The money is ββ!" A long and thick shout was heard far away in the chaotic crowd, and immediately afterwards, an ingot of white silver was thrown out of the storehouse, and fell into the courtyard, and fell outside the courtyard......
"The money is ββ!" The shouts attracted countless hungry refugees, who did not see the thin porridge as clear as white water, but saw the real silver, and every refugee went crazy, rushing into the compound like crazy, climbing over the courtyard wall like crazy, and countless refugees frantically storming the courtyard wall of the silver treasury......
"Everyone's got the silver for saving livesββ!" The shouts were higher and higher, and the sound of hitting the courtyard wall was also higher than a while, only the rumbling sound was heard, the courtyard wall collapsed one by one, and countless yellow-faced and thin refugees poured into the compound, rushing to the treasury, crowding, stepping on people, or from the door of the treasury, or from the roof, and then forming a human wall to impact the wall of the treasury. At first, the Kudins struggled to stop the refugees, but when they found themselves drowned in the frenzied crowd of refugees, they quickly abandoned their duties and even joined the scramble for the silver......
"There's silver here, and there's silver to save lives! That's a lot of silverββ! In front of the silver that can save their lives, the refugees exerted unimaginable strength, collapsed the stone walls of the silver vault several sections, and rushed into the silver vault, grabbing with their hands, with their clothes, and with their mouths, competing for the silver that belonged to them but fell into the hands of corrupt officials and ink officials......
"My silver, my silver." Looking at the scene of the refugees fighting for silver, Qian Cheng foamed at the mouth, waving his hands and grabbing randomly, trying to stop the refugees from robbing the silver vault, but his fingernails were broken, but he did not stop a single refugee. But Qian Cheng did not give up, crawling on his knees, wailing, trying in vain to protect his silver vault, in the chaos, his body suddenly shook, a snow-bright short knife protruded from his chest, and the wooden box containing the secret seal that he wrapped around his waist was also removed, leaving Qian Cheng's corpse with his eyes open, staring at the door of the silver vault until his corpse was trampled into meat sauce......

In less than half an hour, the silver treasury of Jufeng Qianzhuang, which stored more than 4 million taels of silver, was looted, and the loss of gold and jade jewelry was incalculable. The two branches of the Jufeng Silver had less than 80,000 taels of silver, which were exchanged almost in the blink of an eye, leaving countless merchants and people who could not exchange the silver tickets of the Jufeng Silver to cry without tears. However, the officials who cried even more were those officials who deposited the silver obtained from corruption and bribes into the Jufeng Silver Account, and in the morning the silver tickets that were still real money turned into waste paper, not to mention that they could not even find a place to complain.
In contrast, the person who cried the most among the officials in Beijing should still be Aobai's own brother Mulima, because he was transferred to Beijing not long ago, there was no safe and reliable silver treasury at home, and all the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver he had saved were deposited in Jufeng Yinhao, and the current silver at home was not even a thousand taels, and now hundreds of thousands of taels of white silver have been lost, Mulima has even had the heart to hang himself, and his wife pulled his braid and cried, "Kill a thousand knives, blame you for saving all the silver into the unlucky Jufeng Yinhao, Now that our family doesn't even have money to eat, is the family going to drink the northwest wind? β
"My Moneyββ! By the way, Wu Yingxiong, who has been completed, cried no less than Mu Lima's wife, because it wasn't until he destroyed the Jufeng Silver that Wu Dashizi discovered that the last more than 1,000 taels of silver in his family's account were all silver tickets of the Jufeng Silver - retribution!
