After the establishment of Shandong Zhengyuan Shantang, the original porridge field was taken over by Shantang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info After Chen Yunqing suffered an accident, his health was not as good as before, and he was already powerless to manage the bank, but he and Dai Jiabao managed the Shantang together, and they could barely cope with it.

He is very good at being a man and does not participate in the management of Shantang's accounts, and this part of the accounts is all handed over to the people in Shandong. Every day, I only patrol a few porridge sheds to prevent all possible malpractices.

Although she is a concubine, Jiang Fengzhi, who likes to wear a big red jacket and pants, enjoys the feeling of being praised and called a living bodhisattva by countless people. When everyone saw her wearing red, they thought it was the main room, and they looked at her as the governor's wife, and knelt down and kowtowed from a distance. After being pulled up by her, she kept thanking her for her grace, and the compliment and fear caused by the misunderstanding made Feng Zhi feel even more satisfied.

Although the weather was bad today, the sky was full of clouds, both hot and stuffy, which made her sweat layer after layer, but she didn't feel bitter at all, ran around, and refused to rest. Only when the heat is urgent, do you go for some Dutch water, or mung bean soup.

She has a cheerful and lively temperament, bullying but not bullying. Although she doesn't like Chen Lenghe, who is young and beautiful and far more beautiful than herself, she is very polite to an old man like Chen Yunqing. As soon as he saw the old man coming, he stepped forward to say hello, and Chen Yunqing wanted to return the salute.

"How's it going over here today? The rice is not enough, is there anyone doing any tricks in it. We Songjiang people have one of the biggest problems, bullying. I always feel that I am smart, and the brains of foreigners are not good enough, so I, the old Songjiang, sit here and see which of them dares to do tricks. ”

Jiang Fengzhi said with a smile: "Old man, your heart is so good, don't worry, this person is fine." You see, this medicine has just been sent by someone, it is to prevent heat stroke, no matter where you go, there are many good people. ”

Chen Yunqing nodded with a smile, held on to his cane, and turned around the temporary tent. A few newly arrived refugees were holding bowls and looking at them blankly, Chen Yunqing walked over and nodded at a few people, and said to the person who served the porridge: "You Sheng, I'll look at ......"

There was a crunch.

A refugee who was close to the porridge pot suddenly fell to the ground and shattered, and a dagger suddenly appeared under his short clothes. The man was extremely fast, drew his knife in his hand, and then stabbed the old man in his vest.

However, his actions were expected by people. As soon as his knife was drawn into his hand, Feng Zhi had already come to him like lightning, reached out and grabbed the assassin's arm, followed by a clean throw! The assassin threw out like a gourd rolling on the ground, and several other men launched almost simultaneously to defend Feng Zhi. But then, gunshots rang out in the porridge shed.

The guards who had been in ambush drew their pistols and fired at the Assassins. Accompanied by the sound of gunfire and screams, the porridge shack suddenly fell into chaos, and the refugees who fled in all directions, the porridge pot that was knocked over, and the people who were burned and trampled on. The screams were accompanied by blood, which spread in this porridge shed, but it didn't take long for Song Gang to lead a police investigation to appear. With the wielding of the iron rod, the riot quickly subsided, and the expected chaos did not occur.

There is still a long queue outside the branch of Zhengyuan Bank, but it has changed from a depositor to a withdrawer. Rumors, spread among the people in line

"Nong knows what eight million taels of silver, all of them are deceitful. That money was spent by several people to buy stocks, land, warehouses, and factories. said that it was to save Songjiang, but in fact it was to buy Songjiang and turn Songjiang into a surname Zhao, and he didn't care about our life or death at all. When they cheat us out of our money, we will declare bankruptcy, and everyone will have to eat the debt. Damn it, hurry up and take out the money you have saved, it's too late, it's too late. ”

"In that good hall, there are many tricks, and the people who eat every day are counted by them as hundreds of thousands. quietly transported the surplus white rice back to Shandong to raise soldiers, and none of these officials had a good heart. This silver, which will only be put in our pockets, will not help us. Let me tell you, the current Zhengyuan is a hollow boss, if you don't withdraw money, the money will be gone. ”

Such rumors spread one after another, and there were more and more people queuing up to withdraw money, and the employees in charge of the window business were tired and sweaty, but they couldn't leave for a while, and when they moved, some people began to scold and shout, saying that they were going to take the opportunity to slip away and the bank was going to close.

Luo Fengchun, who served as the deputy of Zhengyuan Branch, knocked on Zou Xiurong's door, the two were not familiar with each other, and the cooperation was also very awkward, no one could match anyone's rhythm, and the work was very difficult. There is a difference between men and women, Luo Fengchun didn't even dare to look at Zou Xiurong more, lowered his head and said: "Manager Zou, I feel that the situation is not quite right, this is clearly ......"

"Run! That's what you're trying to say. Zou Xiurong said unhurriedly: "How much money is still on the books?" ”

"Not much, because we just took out a loan yesterday, and according to Miss San's instructions, we bought some people's stocks. Now on the books, there are only more than 7,000 yuan in cash. You must urgently go to the head office to allocate special funds, or ask for support from peers. I can call a few Hotline (phone, the previous Taylor style is a mistake, and the modification can't be made, please forgive me) to find an old relationship. ”

Zou Xiurong smiled slightly, "Old Luo, you are an old-timer, can't you see that this is manipulated by someone?" Where we are, we must not be able to redeem the money, and the head office, I'm afraid they also have an ambush. It's not going to make it so smooth for us to get help, I'm telling you, I have a way here......"

Luo Fengchun wiped the sweat from his forehead, "This...... It seems a bit risky, and once it's recognized, it seems even worse. ”

"Don't worry, you know how I can be recognized. Hurry up and do it. ”

Several bank staff left, saying that they were going to the head office to withdraw money. When the news reached the outside, it somehow became that Zhengyuan had run out of cash and went to the concession to borrow money from foreigners.

Most of the savers who save a small amount of money are staking all their savings in the positive yuan, and at this time, they would rather lose the interest than guarantee the principal. When I heard the news, I put down my work and rushed to the head office and branch office desperately. Outside the two banks, there is already a run trend.

Meng Siyuan was in the teahouse not far from the semicolon, looking at the bank with a telescope, "This trick is two-pronged, I don't know if Xiurong has thought of it." If you move the deposits from the head office, you will lose your roots. Compared to the fact that the branch has no money to redeem, the head office is wireless, which is even worse. If you really transfer the money from the head office, you really won't be able to survive today. ”

A backbone of the local Xingzhong Association asked, "Mr. Meng, are you afraid that Mrs. will not forgive you in the future?" ”

"Mr. Lin can be a letter to his wife, and the relationship between their husband and wife is more important than me and Xiurong. But for the sake of justice, he can abandon his children's personal affairs, although I don't have the courage of Mr. Lin, but I also have the determination to sacrifice. Even if she hates me all my life, even if the world says I'm treacherous, I have to do it. I believe that what I am doing is right for the country and the nation, and that it doesn't matter if my reputation or kindness matters anything else. ”

After about 20 minutes, I saw more than 30 people, driving a rubber-tyred cart towards Zhengyuan. Several merchants dressed in silk and satin, as they walked, took handkerchiefs from their hands and wiped the sweat on their foreheads, and the attendants around them shook their fans, but it was still difficult to resist the heat. In the car, there were one box after another, and the yards were like a hill.

"Silver? Could it be that Zhengyuan found the silver from elsewhere? ”

The local Xingzhong member said urgently: "It's bad if they find the money, our plan is not successful, and we will lose interest." ”

"It's not silver, it's stone." Meng Siyuan replied: "This is a method that my wife and I thought of when we were at school. If we run a money bank and encounter a run, we will use this strategy to stabilize people's hearts first. As soon as people's hearts settle down and they are not in a hurry to withdraw money, I have a way to turn around. The run can only be used once, and it can be dealt with at one time, and the depositors are at ease, and what should happen in the future will still be the same. She remembered this strategy, and it was also a trick to survive in death. But she ...... Doomed to be self-defeating. ”

Several big men suddenly appeared on the way of the cart, deliberately collided with the driver, and then shouted and cursed. There are many people in the convoy, and they have to drive a few big men away. I don't want these big men to have martial arts, and they are extremely brave when they move. Two or three people were knocked to the ground, and one of the attendants tried to persuade them, but was caught by a big man and pushed hard towards the cart.

The person crashed into the car, the body of the car was crooked, and the wooden box stacked at a high place tilted, and then slipped off the car and fell heavily to the ground.

"Stones, all stones! Look, Turtle Son Zhengyuan has no money, and he uses the empty city ......" A big man immediately shouted according to the arranged script, but before he finished shouting, he found that the situation was wrong. The people around him all looked at him with a look of doubt or ridicule. Then I heard someone playfully reply:

"Friend, you took the money to look at your eyes, didn't you? If you look closely, have you ever seen a stone like this? If you have one, you might as well give me some! I don't know which one forgot to spread rumors, saying that Zhengyuan has no silver, this is not a good silver ingot, just this car, there must be tens of thousands of taels. A few cars before and after, no less than fifty or sixty thousand. We don't have that much in our savings. ”

Scattered on the ground were not stones, but full-colored silver ingots, shining in the sunlight. The big man seemed to have been punched, and he was speechless for a while, and then forcibly argued: "Turtle son, you use fake silver, which is filled with lead." ”

"Your family's silver is filled with lead." A middle-aged man in a silk shirt stepped forward and scolded: "Lao Tzu is Cheng Million from Yangzhou, and he has more than 100,000 catties of Huai salt every year. Marinate you into salted meat, and you can marinate thousands of times. When have I used fake silver? Don't go, you robber, let you know how powerful I am today. Someone! ”

I saw that a group of officers and soldiers in coats rushed out from all directions with fast guns and surrounded several big men. The leader of the team was Mr. Qian, and with a wave of his hand, "Tie up these people for me and take them to the yamen for interrogation." ”

There are dozens of officers and soldiers, and there are guns in their hands, and the bare-handed big man can't resist it, so he can only obediently admit it. In the teahouse, Meng Siyuan had already put away the binoculars, and his face became extremely gloomy.

"Let's go, you won't be able to leave any later. Suyoung was smarter than I thought, and she in turn designed a game for me to jump in on my own. This turmoil, not only failed to shake Zhengyuan, but instead broke a signboard for them, its reputation will be better in the future, and everyone's silver will dare to be deposited in it. David Lee's plan was a complete failure. I really can't figure out how she got the money. ”

Outside Zhengyuan Qianzhuang, several depositors heard that the person who came was actually a Yangzhou salt merchant, and automatically got out of the way. Although the times are very different from those of previous dynasties, salt merchants are still the richest part of the group in this era. Yangzhou salt merchants, with the benefits of Huai salt, food and clothing, rich than princes. However, there has never been a salt merchant from Yangzhou who came to Songjiang to make a deposit, which is also the first time to solve the problem.

A salt merchant said as he walked: "Zhengyuan has a backer behind him, and he is the governor of Liangjiang and the governor of Jiangnan, and no one can not give face." Obviously, I came to save money, but I want us to wait a few days, but fortunately, the interest is fair, and I won't eat the debt, otherwise I don't like to wait. 500,000 taels of silver, it is also very troublesome to have luck several times. I don't care about the silver in the back, just let the brothers in the standard camp escort me, I want to have a good rest. ”

500,000 taels!

This number quickly exploded in the ranks, and the people who were waiting in line to withdraw the money, cursing the rumors, turned around and left the line. More than 500,000 taels of silver are put into the account, what else can't be paid? Moreover, even a tycoon like a Yangzhou salt merchant dares to save money in Zhengyuan, will it still rely on his own small money?

In the manager's room, Zou Xiurong was still smiling, fiddling with a revolver in his hand, "Old Luo, what do you think of my method?" Is it a fairy trick to survive in death? The salt merchant has someone to receive, you come with me, let's go to the head office to have a look. ”

Outside the door of the head office, boxes and boxes of silver, with open lids so that everyone can see clearly, are pulled in from the outside, and put them in the counter to wait for payment. There are foreign soldiers with guns to protect them, and they are not afraid of someone coming to rob them. Soon, another news came out in the crowd that Wang Xuetang, the comprador of HSBC, was talking about business in Zhengyuan Bank.

HSBC had a sum of 300,000 yuan in its hands that could not be released, and Wang Xuetang had no choice, so he asked Miss Chen San for help and loaned the money. Miss Chen San refused to agree because she had a very loose money at hand, so she didn't need a loan at all, but Wang Xuetang was stubborn and didn't leave if she didn't agree. He also called more than a dozen guards from HSBC to help Zhengyuan maintain order and sell his friendship to Miss San.

Some people rushed to lend money to Zhengyuan, but Zhengyuan didn't want it, which shows how rich the silver in his hand is. Then queuing up to withdraw money by yourself, isn't it a loss of interest in vain?

When Zou Xiurong arrived at the place, he saw that the queue outside the door was still there, but it was not a run but a deposit of money, and those who had just taken the money had to line up again and deposit the money back. Li David, Xiao Jiarui and others, who were ready to give a speech, and then led everyone to rush to the rental industry and take to the streets to attack the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, seemed to have punched in the air, and they couldn't breathe for a long time.

David Li shook his head and said, "This is impossible!" It's absolutely impossible! How could they have cash, how could they have such a large sum of cash, this is completely inconsistent with the calculation. ”

Several colleagues from the Xingzhong Association looked at him with disdain, and Chen Wuwei shook his head and said: "It's exaggerated, it's useless." Let's go, if you don't go, the patrol will come. ”

There were more and more red-headed Ah San in the public concession, and the Xingzhong Society realized the danger and began to retreat, and soon, gunshots and explosions of fried eggs rang out in the concession. But for the officials of the Dajin court, this can only be regarded as an attempted civil uprising, or a law and order incident, and it is nothing at all.

On the contrary, the Yankee consulate, because of the appearance of fried eggs, immediately dispatched detectives and sent a diplomatic note to the official Daikin government, asking the Chinese community to cooperate with Yankee and arrest the gangsters who possessed fried eggs. The concession and the Chinese community were in turmoil, officers and soldiers patrolled and arrested, and an unwarranted disaster befell the head of the Xingzhong Society.

Soon, the name of a suspect appeared in front of Zhao Guanhou and Chen Lenghe: David Li. (To be continued.) )
