Chapter 154: Qi Ruifu's crisis is coming

As soon as Wu Jin's voice fell, the housekeeper's frightened voice came from outside the door, "Master! Master! Steward Zhao is here. ”

The housekeeper's voice was very nervous, as if something big had happened, Qi Wannian felt a little bad in his heart, and immediately ordered: "Let him in!" ”

I only heard a rush of footsteps, and a man stumbled in, he was a steward of Qi Dafu Qianzhuang in Jiangning County, surnamed Zhao, he was holding a stack of silver tickets in his hand, and he fell to his knees at once, crying loudly: "Old master.... The subordinates were guilty and cashed out twenty fake silver tickets! ”

Qi Wannian was taken aback, he took a stack of silver tickets with trembling hands, and looked at the light carefully, Wu Jin also took one, and looked at the light, this is a hundred taels of silver tickets, unique to the Qi family silver ticket, very special paper, seven colored lines are clearly visible under the light.

How to look at it is also a real ticket, Wu Jin suddenly thought of something, he immediately took out a Qi Dafu hundred taels of silver tickets from his arms, the two compared, he finally found the problem, the font of the number is different, they are all black numbers, but one is printed, the other is hand-painted, but the level is very high, it is not easy to see.

At this moment, Steward Liu's crying voice came from the door, "Master, there has been a large-scale run in Weiyang County, which has spread to Pingjiang County, and it is said that the Qi family has been raided by the imperial court." ”

Qi Wannian suddenly shook his body and fainted suddenly.

"Father!"

"Grandfather!"

The room was suddenly in chaos, and the old housekeeper and another family member also rushed in, carrying Qi Wannian back to the house with all hands and feet, and the housekeeper rushed to ask for a doctor.

Qi Huan's heart was in a mess, fake silver tickets appeared, there was a run on Weiyang County, but his father fainted again, he didn't know what to do, at this time, he was full of dependence on Wujin in his heart, he pleaded with Wujin with his palms: "Can you please ask Your Highness to stay for a while." ”

Wu Jin nodded, "Don't worry!" If I need to, I can stay in Qi Mansion tonight. ”

Qi Huan was grateful, and asked people to take Wujin to rest first, but Qi Fengwu was surprisingly calm, she took the silver ticket and compared it carefully.

........ Wu Jin was arranged in an elegant small courtyard, he silently looked at the night sky outside the window with his hands behind his back, although the night in early winter was cold, he could feel that the cold of the Qi family was three points worse than the cold in early winter.

The Qi family encountered a well-designed serial set, with tax silver and large households first raised the Weiyang County Qi Dafu Treasury silver, and then created rumors to incite the people to run, ancient and modern Chinese and foreign, the biggest threat to the bank is the run, once the money can not be paid, not only the reputation is damaged, but also will go bankrupt.

What makes Wujin have to admire is that at this moment, there are fake silver tickets in Jiangning Mansion again, if the news comes, people who demand to redeem the silver tickets will flock to it, even if the Qi family can pay the silver tickets, they will not dare to support the treasury silver to Weiyang County, this trick is very vicious.

In fact, Wujin also saw a deeper crisis, that is, the silver released by the Qi family, those debtors must hope that the Qi family will be raided, and then they don't have to pay back the money, so even if they have money in their hands now, they will not return it for a long time, but will hold the debt and wait and see, which will exacerbate the cash crisis of the Qi family.

It can be said that the opponent chose Qi Dafu Qianzhuang as the attack point, and the vision is very powerful, any economic crisis starts from finance, and the Qi family has encountered big trouble.

At this time, Wu Jin felt something, and when he turned around, he saw Qi Fengwu standing at the door, silently watching him.

"Miss Qi, is there something wrong?" Wu Jin smiled slightly.

"Childe, I want to talk to you, okay!"

Wu Jin nodded and waved his hand, "Please take a seat!" ”

Qi Fengwu walked into the house and sat down, her eyes were calm, and she couldn't see a trace of panic, which made Wu Jin admire her calmness very much, the Qi Mansion was in a mess, only she maintained a calm and sober feeling.

"How's the old man?" Wu Jin asked with concern.

"Fortunately, the doctor has seen it, but he fainted in anger, and the pulse is very stable, and the problem is not big."

Qi Fengwu took out a fake silver ticket just now, and said with a sneer: "I have seen the other party's trick, this is not a fake silver ticket, but a fake silver ticket made of real silver tickets." ”

Wu Jin was stunned for a moment, "Miss Qi, I didn't understand. ”

"It's very simple, the other party actually didn't master the anti-counterfeiting technology of the Qi family's silver tickets, they couldn't make fake silver tickets, so they didn't hesitate to use real silver tickets to fake, all the silver tickets that Childe saw were one hundred taels of silver tickets, because one hundred taels of silver tickets did not enthrone the number, and they could be redeemed at any time, so we don't know the authenticity of this number, Childe, please see!"

Qi Fengwu poured a little tea on the number, let the water moisten for a moment, she touched it with her fingers, and handed the silver ticket to Wu Jin, "Childe, please look!" ”

Wu Jin took the silver ticket, only to see that after erasing the ink, the printed number was revealed underneath, and he suddenly understood that this was just a pen to copy the real number, and it gave people the feeling that the number was fake, and the silver ticket naturally thought it was fake.

"Sure enough!"

Wu Jin praised: "Their purpose is to create panic, and at the same time deceive Qi Ruifu, so that Qi Ruifu does not dare to transport the silver south, or Miss Qi is calm and finds out the other party's tricks." ”

Qi Fengwu shook his head and said worriedly: "Even if I find out the truth, it's useless, they have a way, they can create an incident, let the government come forward to search Qi Dafu Qianzhuang, and then take the opportunity to spread rumors and cause a run, if there is also a run in Jiangning, it will soon spread to all parts of Chuzhou, then Qi Dafu will be over." ”

"Is Qi Dafu's deposit really not enough to deal with?"

"Yes, our biggest weakness was caught by the other party, because Qi Dafu is a century-old store, a golden signboard, and a good reputation, so we have only thirty percent of the silver deposit in the Qi family's bank, and we have to lend seventy taels of silver, leaving only thirty taels in the treasury for withdrawal, and the general money bank is fifty percent, which is also Qi Dafu's top secret, only the person in charge knows it, I suspect that we have a steward who has been bought by the other party, exposing the secrets of the Qi family."

"Miss Qi, do you need my help?" Wu Jin had already understood Qi Fengwu's intention.

Qi Fengwu bit his lip and said: "I don't want to hide the son, in fact, at the foot of the son is a huge underground treasury of the Qi family, there are one million taels of gold, and eight million taels of silver, according to one to ten of gold, there are eighteen million taels of silver in the underground treasury, this is the cash silver wealth that Qi Ruifu has saved for more than a hundred years, and there is an equally large underground treasury in the capital, which does not include the huge industry and land of the Qi family, we can actually survive this catastrophe, but what I am afraid of is not the run crisis, It's the power behind Donglai Commercial Bank and Baifu Commercial Bank, we really can't fight them, and a small county government in Jiangning County can steal all this wealth......"

Speaking of this, Qi Fengwu suddenly fell to his knees, and pleaded with Wu Jin with tears: "Now only Gongzi can save the Qi family, I beg Gongzi to save the Qi family, as long as Gongzi is willing to make a move, the Qi family can pay Gongzi a million taels of silver, and even me.... I can still make a promise. ”

Tears had already rolled down from Qi Fengwu's eyes, and she couldn't hold back any longer, so she cried bitterly.

Wu Jin's face was gloomy, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then glanced at Qi Fengwu and said coldly: "Miss Qi, I know that you are a businessman, and you have to consider buying and selling in everything, yes, I am very powerful now, I have 5,000 plum blossom guards in my hands, and 20,000 sailors, it is easy to help you, so you have to take money to buy me, and even promise it with your body, Miss Qi, you will only make me look down on you if you do this, your body is too cheap, if it is not me who is sitting now, but Wu Huaming, the general of the embroidered guard, Or other dogs and cats, do you also want to make a promise? ”

Wu Jin's tone revealed the extreme dissatisfaction in his heart, Qi Fengwu was shocked, and her face suddenly turned red, and after a while, she said in a low voice: "If I change anyone, I will never say the words of personal promise, because I know that Gongzi has always been greedy for me, and I felt it when I ate noodles from a noodle restaurant." ”

Her last sentence made Wu Jin's old face a little unbearable, he blushed, and still said in a cold tone: "Then even if I misunderstood you, you get up first, don't say anything casually in the future, it will make me annoyed." ”

Qi Fengwu stood up silently, the girl's reserve made her regret what she just said, she was a little out of shape just now, how could a girl casually say the words promised by herself, fortunately, Wujin did not accept her conditions, which made her feel happy, but there was an unspeakable loss, what if Wujin refused to help the Qi family.

She didn't know what to say, Wu Jin saw that she was calm, so she said slowly: "I used to be a businessman, but now I'm not, I don't talk to you about any deals, this time I will do my best to help the Qi family, I don't want you to pay a penny....."

Seeing that she was about to speak, Wu Jin stopped her with a wave of his hand, "Don't ask why?" My idea is not something you can guess. ”

Qi Fengwu whispered: "I understand, I apologize for what I said just now." ”

At this time, a maid walked to the door and saluted Wu Jin, "Your Highness, my lord is invited!" ”

Wu Jin got up and said with a smile: "It is estimated that the old man has woken up, I'll go and see, you have to go!" ”

Qi Fengwu nodded, "I'll go with you." ”

The two walked out of the courtyard, but no one spoke, and walked for a while, seeing that they were about to arrive in Qi Wannian's room, Qi Fengwu finally asked in a low voice, "Do you have any plans to go to Weiyang County?" ”

Wu Jin thought for a while, "I'm going to inspect the Donghai County Navy Mansion, the specific time has not been decided, but I can go at any time." ”

"I'm going to rush to Viyan County tomorrow afternoon, anything you can, I hope you can go with me."

"Tomorrow afternoon!"

Wu Jin thought about his arrangement for a while, although there was something, but since he had decided to help the Qi family, other things could also be pushed forward, so he agreed, "Yes, but I'm going by boat, you can go with me on the same boat, and I guess Humble Jing will also go with me." ”

Qi Fengwu's face showed a hint of a smile, "That's the best!" ”
