What does this old thing want to do?

The rolls given by Xiao Lufeng are all recorded in the names, addresses and identities, not much, there are only dozens of them in total, but all of them are important backbones of the White Lotus Sect, in terms of the degree of detail, there are more than the information sent by He Tao before, it is obvious that this information should be true and undoubted, the problem is that it is difficult to say what Xiao Lufeng's intention is, at least at the moment, Hongqing can't see through what he did for a while.

"Shopkeeper Xiao can effectively force the heart of the court, I'm afraid it's not good, but this matter involves a huge amount of money, and you must not joke, if there is something wrong with it, the consequences are afraid that it will be unbearable, and Shopkeeper Xiao may ensure that it is safe?"

The 200,000 taels of cash silver requested by Xiao Lufeng may be an astronomical amount that is too huge to be added to others, but for Hongqing, it is not very difficult, whether it is the "Eight Banners Firm" or the "Kirin Firm", it can be easily adjusted, in fact, there are no less than 300,000 taels of cash in the Shanxi branch of the "Kirin Firm" - the 200,000 taels of cash transferred from the "Sunrise Money Village" have not been touched at all, and it is easy to meet Xiao Lufeng's requirements, but, Before finding out Xiao Lufeng's true intentions, Hongqing didn't plan to agree easily, but frowned, and asked with a solemn expression.

"Back to the prince's words, the grass people dare to vouch for their lives, and this list is absolutely not false."

Xiao Lufeng replied quickly, and as soon as Hongqing's words fell, he had already given a guarantee like a gamble.

"Oh? This king is very curious, I don't know where the confidence of Shopkeeper Xiao comes from? ”

Naturally, the list will not be fake, this point, compared with the information given by He Tao, Hongqing knows it in his heart, but he will never show it at this time, but raised his eyebrows, and asked suspiciously.

"Wang Ye Mingjian, the grass people because of a coincidence, saved the life of a White Lotus Sect incense master, is the fashion does not know that it is the White Lotus Sect, and it is confused to accept the matter under his hands, this time the White Lotus Sect is making trouble, and dare to assassinate the prince, it is really a great rebellion, my Shanxi people are all filled with righteous indignation, the grass people's subordinates feel the righteousness, determined to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and because of the gratitude of the grass people for saving their lives, they want to give this merit to the grass people, this is the list in the hands of the prince, the grass people are true, there is no falsehood."

Facing Hongqing's questioning, Xiao Lufeng did not panic at all, and confidently gave an explanation.

"Well, it's rare for this person to have such an understanding, and this matter will be decided after the king and Li Futai have discussed, as for what the shopkeeper Xiao wants, it is not very difficult, after the fact, the shopkeeper Xiao can prepare the pledged things, and the king should plan for you, so as not to disappoint the shopkeeper Xiao."

After a few questions and answers, Hongqing had already seen that Xiao Lufeng was thoughtful, and no matter how much he continued, it would be difficult to get very useful information from his mouth, so he was too lazy to talk more, so he nodded in a deep voice and gave Xiao Lufeng a clear answer.

"Thank you, Lord Longen, the grass people should be forever in the five, and they dare not forget it in their lives."

Hearing Hongqing's words, Xiao Lufeng immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed with gratitude.

"That's it, let's go back and wait for the news, come here, send off the guests."

After Hongqing let Xiao Lufeng kowtow a few times, he slowly raised his hand and gave the order to evict the customer in an official tone.

"Thank you, Lord Longen, the grass people will retire."

As soon as Hongqing's words fell, Li Minxing, who was waiting outside the door of the study, immediately walked in, and when he saw this, Xiao Lufeng didn't dare to say any more, and after kowtowing heavily, he withdrew from the study and went back to the house by himself.

What tricks is this old thing playing, is it planning to lose the car to protect the handsome, or the strong man breaks his wrist, or wants to hide from the world?

For Xiao Lufeng's various explanations, Hongqing didn't believe it in his heart, or even his request to borrow 200,000 taels of silver, Hongqing didn't think so, there was no side, although 200,000 taels of cash is a lot, if ordinary giants want to mobilize it in a short time, it is absolutely impossible, but for Xiao Lufeng, who has the support of the eighth master, it may not be so difficult, Hongqing dares to assert that even if he does not agree to Xiao Lufeng's request, his money will not really be in trouble, if so, His intentions in coming to the White Lotus Sect this time are very questionable.

Although the eighth master has something to do with the White Lotus Sect is a secret, very few people know it, but Hongqing is an exception, as early as when Yangzhou did the salt case, Hongqing has found out the roots, the only thing that I am not sure is how much the eighth master controls the White Lotus Sect, there is no other, the White Lotus Sect is a sect, but in fact it is just a loose organization, the provinces, and even the White Lotus Sect of the provinces are not necessarily one, and the connection between them is not very close, basically they are all separated, although the Eighth Master is a monstrous force, It is obviously impossible to unify all the White Lotus Sects in various places, because of this, Hongqing is not sure that the White Lotus Sect in Shanxi is in the hands of the Eighth Master, so there must be a possibility, that is, Xiao Lufeng's move is to kill people with a knife in order to seek control of the White Lotus Sect in Shanxi.

"Is this old thing really a problem for you?"

Hongqing thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out the true intentions of Xiao Lufeng's move, but no matter what, it was imperative to crack down on the White Lotus Sect, at this point, Hongqing would not hesitate at all, and after muttering, he didn't think about it anymore, but buried himself in the official documents, and waved his pen and wrote quickly......

In order to prevent leakage of news, early the next morning, Hongqing personally sat in the governor's yamen to supervise the arrest of the White Lotus Sect bandits, with the issuance of one order after another, not only the government officials of the prefectures went out together, the flag battalions and green battalions also attacked, like a thunderbolt sweeping the hole in the vicinity of Taiyuan turned upside down, the important figures of the White Lotus Sect hiding in the folk were arrested and brought to justice, and in one day, the dust had settled. It's just that the result of the interrogation was a little unexpected by Hongqing - none of the White Lotus disciples who were taken down knew the whole story of the assassination of Hongqing, and none of them knew the whereabouts of the head of the Shanxi line of the White Lotus Sect, only that the leader of the Shanxi line of the White Lotus Sect was a man, who called himself "Emperor Wusheng", and he dressed up as a Taoist priest on weekdays, and traveled around the townships and prefectures, and followed many people, but since the assassination occurred, he has disappeared, and no one knows where this person is hiding now.

The clue is obviously broken, not only the captured White Lotus disciples can't provide any valuable news, but even the "sharp knife" rudder can't find the whereabouts of the "Immortal Emperor", if you want to find out the truth of the assassination case in a short period of time, it is obviously impossible, the matter has come to this point, Hongqing has no choice, since he did not dare to delay the important task of rectifying the financial order because of this case, he can only put the case aside first, and devote himself to the merger of the "Sunrise Money" and the "Eight Banners Firm".

"Sunrise Money" is the world's largest money, semicolons throughout the provinces, but all big cities, basically have the semicolon of the money, the scale is not small, and the "Eight Banners Firm" is a behemoth, although it is not as many as the "Sunrise Money", but whether it is political influence or its own economic strength, are stronger than the "Sunrise Money", the merger of the two giants is naturally not a simple matter, even if the "Sunrise Money" is forced to sign the alliance under the city, but it is really the time of the merger, For the sake of their own interests, the matter of the upside down is also unavoidable, the negotiation team of the two sides often fights for a certain clause, and noisy things often happen, even if there is such a prince as Hongqing, the progress of the negotiations is still difficult to be optimistic.

Time waits for no one, at the beginning, Hongqing was in front of tens of thousands of petitioners, made a promise that three days can start withdrawing, if the ticket is skipped, not only Hongqing's own reputation will be affected, but also more troublesome is that if the petitioners make trouble again, I am afraid that there will be a danger of civil uprising, and this, obviously not Hongqing can bear the burden, because of this, after a day and a half of negotiations, Hongqing did not give the negotiation team of the two sides a chance to fight again, and took out the identity of the prince of Qincha, and dictatorship was extremely strong. The final verdict was made on all the disputed points.

Hongqing wants to play dictatorship, that is no one dares to oppose - the "Eight Banners Firm" was established by Hongqing, although Hongqing himself has no shares in it, nor does he hold a position, but when it comes to influence and control, it is unmatched, even if it is the old man with the name of the chairman of the board of directors in the specific affairs of the "Eight Banners Firm", it is not useful for Hongqing to speak, what he decided, the "Eight Banners Firm" came to negotiate in addition to accepting, but they did not even dare to say a word of objection, as for Kang Wanming, Of course, Hongqing's ruling is basically impartial, and the two sides have nothing to argue about, so the matter is settled.

On July 28, the 52nd year of Kangxi, the reorganized "Risheng Bank" was renamed "Industrial and Commercial Bank of China", and Kang Wanming was appointed as the first president, and officially started business on the same day, and when he heard the news, the creditors immediately heard the wind and moved, and they crowded to the head office to withdraw cash, in one day, there were 400,000 taels of silver was withdrawn, and the next day, there were 200,000 taels of cash silver withdrawn, and from the third day, the creditors who came to withdraw were gradually fewer, but there were many people who came to understand the business news of deposit interest and exchange, and there was no shortage of people who tried to deposit silver.

On the first day of the first month of August, the "Hui Deposit Bank" was also officially opened for business, although there were cashers, but not much, the withdrawal of cash in one day was not even less than 100,000 taels, and the next day was less, so far, a financial storm that swept the whole country was considered to have stopped, although the aftermath is still there, but the storm has passed is an indisputable fact.
