After the Baifu and Donglai Qianzhuang in the south of the city were smashed, there was a similar crisis in the other two Baifu and Donglai Qianzhuang in the north of the city, with tens of thousands of people crowded in front of the Qianzhuang, and the square in front of the two Qianzhuang was full of dense heads, as well as depositors who came from the south of the city one after another.

The crowd in front of the counter is surging, people are scrambling to hand the list to the guys in the store, dozens of guys are busy sweating, taking orders, checking accounts, writing off accounts, cashing money, a customer has to be busy for a long time, anxious as igniting boiling oil, roaring, scolding, squeezing and suffocating screams one after another, so that the money village almost exploded.

The silver deposits of the two banks were only 560,000 taels, and because of the appearance of some large single silver bills, the silver deposits were about to be exhausted soon, and the big shopkeeper of Donglai Money Village ran out of the back room and shouted to the men: "Stop paying more than 100 taels." ”

At this time, there was a huge shout in the distance, the sound came from the side of the Baifu Bank, the big shopkeeper suddenly turned pale, and took two steps back, he knew that something must have happened to the Baifu Bank.

"Big shopkeeper, it's not good, the counter is going to collapse!" One of the guys screamed, only to see that the counter was squeezed into a serious twist, making a creaking and rattling sound, and all the guys stopped what they were doing, looked at the counter in horror, and retreated step by step.

The men's stop payment made the customers outside more anxious, they desperately crowded forward, yelling, only to hear a bang, the rightmost section of the more old counter collapsed first, the guys screamed, turned around and fled, they all knew very well, once the crowd poured in, they would all be trampled to death, the big shopkeeper jumped and shouted, but no one listened to him.

At this time, there was a series of cracking and collapsing sounds in the lobby, 'Boom! With a loud bang, the counter more than ten feet long finally collapsed, and the crowd outside poured in like a tide, and the shopkeeper screamed, turned around and fled.

In an instant, thousands of people withdrawing money rushed into the bank......... Yin Yuyaojiang of Jiangning Mansion hurriedly rushed to the two money houses surrounded by Meihuawei on Jianye Street, which is the most prosperous area of Jiangning Mansion, and the two huge money houses covering an area of ten acres each stand majestically on both sides of the street, which is the headquarters of Donglai and Baifu Money Village in Jiangning Mansion, and the two money houses are only dozens of steps apart.

Compared with the chaos of the four banks in the north and south, these two banks were quiet, and 800 heavily armed Plum Blossom Guard sergeants surrounded the two banks, and no one dared to come here to withdraw money.

With the chaos of the situation in the other banks, the mentality of the shopkeepers and the men of the two banks has changed, from the fear and hatred of Meihuawei at the beginning, to the hope that they will not leave, and the existence of Meihuawei just protects their safety.

Yu Yaojiang finally arrived, and when he got out of the sedan chair, he shouted, "Excuse me, who is in charge here?" ”

Zhang Long rode forward, he hugged his fists on the horse and said, "But Lord Yu? ”

"I'm exactly, may I ask the general who is in charge?"

Zhang Long did not dismount, and said solemnly on the horse: "Zhang Long, the commander of the Plum Blossom Guard, is on the orders of my general to perform official duties here." ”

"May I ask what official duties Meihuawei is doing here?"

"This ...... There are rules in the army that cannot be easily disclosed. ”

Yu Yaojiang pressed the annoyance in his heart and said: "Now that the situation in the city is chaotic, since Meihuawei is in the city, can he help maintain local law and order?" ”

Zhang Long nodded, "It is the duty of Meihuawei to maintain law and order for the place, and we have an unshirkable responsibility, but my official position is small and I have no right to decide, please contact my general as soon as possible, and ask my general to give an order." ”

Yu Yaojiang glared angrily, but he was helpless, so he had to ask, "Where is your general?" ”

Zhang Long urged him to step forward, leaned over and whispered to Yu Yaojiang: "Don't hide it from your lordship, last night, the Chuzhou Navy found two Phoenix Society sentinel ships, one has been sunk, my general is searching for the other ship, we are on a mission here, and it is also related to the Phoenix Society, last night the people of the Phoenix Society came to Baifu and Donglai Qianzhuang to withdraw money, and the two Phoenix Society principals have infiltrated the city, and we suspect that they are hiding in the Qianzhuang." ”

Yu Yaojiang only felt that his head was as big as a fight, the situation in the city was chaotic enough, and the Phoenix Society had popped up again, and the actions of the Plum Blossom Guard were actually related to the Phoenix Society, which made him have nothing to say.

After staying for a long time, he had to give up his hand and say, "Can you ask Meihuawei to leave the city temporarily, and then enter the city after the situation is calm." ”

He felt that he would not agree to this request, how could the other party go out of the city, at this moment, a Plum Blossom Guard cavalry rode over, he turned over and dismounted and rushed forward to deliver an order arrow, "Captain Qi, the general has an order, the situation in the city is chaotic, the Plum Blossom Guard stops searching for pirates and assists the place to maintain order." ”

After speaking, the sergeant handed over a warrant, Zhang Long unfolded the warrant, only to see a line written on it, 'You can adapt to the situation, and protect Qi Dafu Qian Zhuang is the most important.' ’

He understood in his heart, and immediately bowed his hand and said: "Everything has priorities, although the search for the Phoenix Society pirates is a big matter, but it is urgent to maintain order in the city, the general has an order, ordering us to assist the local government and maintain order in the city." ”

Yu Yaojiang was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "There has been a smashing incident in the two money houses in the south of the city, please General Zhang immediately stop it." ”

Zhang Long smiled slightly, "My lord, please go first, we will divide our troops and arrive immediately!" ”

Yu Yaojiang's heart landed, he got on the sedan chair and hurried to the south of the city, he was already taking care of the head and tail at this time, and he couldn't take care of the situation in the north of the city, as for the plum blossom guard withdrew, what would be the fate of these two money houses, he couldn't think about it, he was now a foot pain doctor, only considering the south of the city that had been seriously smashed and robbed.

Although Wu Jin and Zhang Long discussed countermeasures last night, the rapid development of the situation was also beyond their expectations, and they also had to change randomly, giving the government a favor, even if the pirates of the Phoenix Society could not be caught, they could also put the blame on the government, they were invited by the government and were forced to abandon the task.

Zhang Long was an extremely shrewd man, and he immediately assigned a task to send a hundred sergeants to the south of the city to maintain order, while he himself led most of the other sergeants to Qi Dafu's bank.

The departure of a group of soldiers from Baifu and Donglai Qianzhuang was equivalent to the removal of protection, and gradually, tens of thousands of depositors from the south and north of the city began to crowd in front of these two money houses again.

．．．．．．．． The run effect caused by the panic also inevitably affected Qi Dafu Village, Qi Dafu Village has three in Jiangning City, they are horizontal axis distribution, east, middle and west have one each, but because the Qi family has prepared in advance, the two money houses in the east and west of the city have not opened, and built a shed overnight for repair, and all the payment matters are concentrated in the city Sankongqiao Bank.

Not only did he post notices, but also sent dozens of people to persuade him, and Qi Huan was more thoughtful, he sent people to find the beggar leader in Jiangning County overnight, and at the price of 1,000 taels of silver, he invited the beggars in Jiangning County to receive relief porridge in front of the two money houses in the east and west of the city, a bowl of porridge and two meat buns per person, and asked them to change into the dirtiest and most tattered clothes.

For a time, thousands of beggars flocked to the front of the two money houses, so that there was a grand gathering of beggars in front of the money villages, forming an effective wall of beggars, and the dirty beggars, coupled with the notice of the repair of the shed and the closure of the business, and the persuasion of the men, forced the people who came to withdraw the money to have to change the route to the Sankongqiao Daqian Village in the city to withdraw money.

Qi Dafu Sankongqiao Daqian Zhuang is not far from Jianye Street, only one mile apart, this Qian Zhuang covers an area of 20 acres, built tall and strong, it is also the headquarters of Qi Dafu Qian Zhuang in Chuzhou, in its underground treasury hidden more than seven million taels of silver, the positions of Qian Zhuang all over Chuzhou are adjusted from here.

Liu Sijun's strategy was to put pressure on this big money village of Qi Dafu, forcing it not to dare to support Weiyang County, but he did not expect to set himself on fire, causing them to suffer huge losses.

At this time, in front of Qi Dafu Money Village, all the people were also crowded, and under the domination of panic, people just wanted to take their money out of the money bank.

But unlike Donglai Money Village and Baifu Money Village, Qi Dafu Money Village had made full preparations last night, with more than 400 family members and dart masters from the Qi Family Dart Bureau strictly guarding the gate, and more than 300 dart masters invited from the other two Dart Bureaus were responsible for maintaining order.

The square in front of the money village surrounded seven table alleys with generous tables, so that tens of thousands of people lined up in a long line of seven, but due to the large number of people, the crowd behind them, shouts resounded through the streets, and the situation showed signs of getting out of control.

Qi Huan took dozens of guys to explain repeatedly in the crowd: "Folks, there is no problem with the Qi family, the silver is sufficient, and all the money is guaranteed to be paid, and Qi Da has no fake silver tickets!" ”

His voice was already hoarse, his shouts were drowned out by the shouts of the crowd, at this time, thousands of dock workers rushed from Linjiang Town, the news has reached Linjiang Town, tens of thousands of dock workers are rushing to Jiangning County.

Many people in the back were already reluctant to line up, and they desperately crowded forward, causing confusion at the end of the seven lines.

"Four proprietors, go this way!"

Dozens of men escorted Qi Huan and rushed out of the crowd, they rushed to the periphery with difficulty, and one of the men pointed to the sky not far away and shouted: "Look, boss! ”

I saw the smoke billowing not far away, it was the Baifu Qian Zhuang on Jianye Street that was burning, Qi Huan and all the guys were dumbfounded, in the face of Qi Dafu's situation that was about to get out of control, they were worried and happy, he didn't dare to imagine what the situation of other Baifu and Donglai Qian Zhuang was now, if it wasn't for their emergency preparations last night, Qi Dafu Qian Zhuang would also suffer extremely heavy losses.

Qi Huan's back was already soaked, he could not have imagined that the run caused by the rumors would have such serious consequences, although they had taken countermeasures, due to the closure of the Chengdong and Chengxi Qian Zhuang, all the customers were led to the Sankongqiao Qian Zhuang, and the huge crowd pressure made their hard-working team look like it was about to collapse.

Just when Qi Huan was anxious, he heard a guy shout in surprise: "Army! The four proprietors, the army is coming. ”

A large number of Plum Blossom Guard sergeants appeared on the street, they roared and rushed into the crowd, the Plum Blossom Guard was obviously more professional than the dart masters, they pulled out more than 100 people who caused chaos from the crowd, the chaotic crowd gradually calmed down, and the seven teams began to recover, and the situation that was about to get out of control finally calmed down.

Qi Huan breathed a long sigh of relief, as long as there was the protection of the army, Qi Dafu would be able to survive this catastrophe, at this time, Qi Fengwu ran over in a panic, "Fourth uncle!" ”

Qi Huan was already a frightened bird, and when he saw that his niece was nervous, his heart immediately hung again, "What's wrong?" ”

"Grandfather asked me to ask, is the second uncle in Qianzhuang?"

Qi Huan shook his head, "He's not in Qianzhuang, I haven't seen him since last night." ”

"Oh no, something must have happened to the second uncle."

Qi Fengwu was so anxious that he stomped his feet, "The second uncle didn't return last night, the coachman's body was found outside Dongcheng, and the second uncle may have had an accident." ”

Qi Huan was stunned, he realized that the second brother must have had an accident, he was the one who had the secret of anti-counterfeiting of silver tickets, and the other party must have attacked him, what should I do about this?

When he saw Qi Fengwu turn around and run, he hurriedly asked, "Second girl, where are you going?" ”

"I'll go to Huangfu Wujin and ask him for help!"
