At the beginning of nightfall, the area of the City God Temple in Weiyang County gradually quieted down, the City God Temple is close to the Eight Immortals Bridge, and the newly repaired God of Wealth Temple is only separated by a river, but it is this river that completely separates the two temples that should be together, from the City God Temple to the God of Wealth Temple, to go around a big circle, cross the river from the Eight Immortals Wooden Bridge, and walk three miles.

However, a new bridge is already being built, but this time it is not led by Jin Fu Ji, but dozens of shops of the Eight Immortals Bridge jointly raised funds to build, and they invited the most famous feng shui master in Pingjiang County to see it, and the repair of the bridge here does not destroy the feng shui of the Eight Immortals Bridge.

What's more important is to build this bridge without a long detour, directly into the Baxian Bridge business district, will greatly improve the flow of people, and the road of Humin Lane has been repaired, pedestrians have to take Humin Lane, walk to the Bada Wood Bridge and then turn east, in this way, the two acres of land at the south end of the Bada Immortal Bridge will become the intersection of the three golden roads.

The vicinity of the Chenghuang Temple is also a more lively commercial area in Weiyang County, but it is mainly famous for the gathering of jewelry workshops, and there are hundreds of large and small jewelry workshops gathered nearby, and the jewelry of Weiyang County is also quite famous in the Daning Dynasty.

In the vicinity of these jewellery workshops, that is, on both sides of the City God Temple, more than a dozen jewellery shops have been opened, and the largest Balvenie jewellery store stands among them, there are two Balvenie jewellery stores, one in the North City Jewelry District, and the other is in the Cheng Hong Temple, many of the jewellery workshops in the Cheng Hong Temple are directly supplied to the PAX jewellery store.

At night, the visitors and customers of the temple gradually left, and the square in front of the temple had become deserted, when a man walked quickly, he glanced at the Baifu jewelry shop opposite, and then looked at the alleys on both sides, a black-clothed man walked out of the alley quickly, and whispered: "There are no suspicious people leaving, and no carriage stops." ”

"What about the back door?"

"This jewelry store doesn't have a back door!"

The man nodded, took out the flint and fire fold, 'Click! Click! Two sounds, lit the fire, this is the signal, for a moment only the footsteps of the brigade were heard, and soon from the streets on both sides of the two sides poured out two or three hundred sailor soldiers, they put on their armor, murderous, surrounded the Baifu jewelry shop, and then more than thirty plum guard sergeants rushed into the shop, they were experienced, quickly controlled the shopkeeper and the men, and rushed into the basement.

Huangfu Wujin walked in, "Is that person still there?" ”

Sun Jianhong, the leader of the guards, nodded, "Back to the general, the shopkeeper said that the person lives in the backyard." ”

"Is there a secret passage?"

"There are no secret passages!"

Huangfu Wujin walked quickly to the backyard, and as soon as he walked to the backyard, he only heard 'Boom!' A knock on the door was followed by a woman's scream and a man's roar, "Who are you?" ”

Hearing this familiar voice, Wu Jin couldn't help laughing, and in a moment, several Plum Blossom Guard soldiers carried the Huangfu Qu tied like a dumpling to the courtyard, 'Plop! Suddenly, he threw it at the feet of Wu Jin, and after a few months, he grew even fatter, shiny and black, like a boar.

Huangfu Qu was frightened by the plum blossom guard trembling, he thought it was the plum blossom guard who came to arrest him into Beijing, as soon as he raised his head, he looked at Wu Jin with frightened eyes, he suddenly recognized it, and hurriedly climbed forward and kowtowed and begged: "His Royal Highness King Heiliang, spare my life!" Please spare my life! ”

Wu Jin remembered his original majesty, Donghai County, the only county prince in Weiyang County, without an official position and title, he became like a dog and despicable, Wu Jin did not have a trace of pity for him, this kind of heart was full of despicability.

"Shut him up and take him away!"

Several soldiers gagged him with rags, stuffed him into a hemp bag, and carried him out, at which point Sergeant Plum Blossom Guard pushed the shopkeeper and several of his men up, and the two girls in the room were also dressed and came out, standing by the wall shivering.

Wu Jin said to them coldly: "We are the plum blossom guards sent by the imperial court, and no one of you is allowed to report, no matter who asks, you will say that Huangfu Qu ran away over the wall, whether he was caught, you don't know, if any of you dare to disobey, I will immediately ask for his life, do you hear!" ”

"Listen.... See you! The crowd trembled with fear.

"Let's go!"

As soon as Wu Jin waved his hand, the large group of sergeants was like a receding tide, and they were clean in an instant, leaving only a group of frightened men and shopkeepers.

．．．．．．． The next morning, several officials came to the Baifu Money Village, He was busy with things, his silver eyes saw the bottom, there were thousands of people outside, he didn't know what to do, suddenly heard that the officials came to the door, no matter how busy he was, he had to put down what he was doing, and went out to deal with it.

"Steward He, someone has sued you in the county office, you can come with us!"

Steward He was stunned, and stammered for a while before asking, "Yes.... Who is suing? ”

"You can find out when you go, it's not an ordinary small depositor complaining, it involves millions of silver."

Hearing that millions of silver were involved, Steward He was so frightened that he hurriedly came back and ordered the deputy steward, and went to the county government with the official nervously.

When he entered the lobby, he found that Steward Zhao of Beishi Qianzhuang and Steward Wang in charge of the business house were also there, and he was a little relieved in his heart, as long as he wasn't looking for him alone.

He saw that Su Hanzhen was dressed in official uniform, and after sitting on the public case, his expression was very serious, he was scared in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Xiaomin He Yun knocked on Lord Assassin Shi!" ”

"The one who knees is the director of the Balventro Bank?"

"The villain is the director of Nanshi Qianzhuang!"

"Very good, since everything is here, then I'll talk about it."

He took a copy of the contract on the case and ordered the servants to hand it over to them, Su Hanzhen said solemnly: "Qi Dafu Qianzhuang has submitted an arbitration application to this official, and they have bought Donglai Qianzhuang's one million taels of silver creditor's rights, and now they ask you to repay the debt immediately." ”

When Steward He saw the mortgage loan contract, he secretly complained in his heart, it was at the beginning of the year that they temporarily borrowed one million silver from Donglai Qian Zhuang to mortgage the restaurant, shop and warehouse, they originally wanted to redeem it in two months, but the total money bank said that the interest was very low, and let them repay it after a year, but they did not expect this matter to happen at this juncture.

The three chief stewards looked at each other, they all knew about it, but none of them expected that Donglai Qianzhuang would betray them, and the three of them all showed helpless expressions, if it was them, they might also betray Donglai Qianzhuang.

"Let me ask you, do you recognize this contract or not?"

Steward He's steward level was half a level higher than the two of them, so he had to bow down and say: "Lord Hui, this contract is true, it was signed between us and Donglai Qianzhuang, but between Donglai Qianzhuang and Qi Dafu, we don't know." ”

Su Hanzhen glanced at Qi Fengwu, the arbitration plaintiff standing on the other side, and said to Steward He: "This official has confirmed that Donglai Qian Zhuang has sold this debt to Qi Dafu Qian Zhuang, which is correct, and this official sees that there is no time limit in the loan contract, that is to say, Qi Dafu Qian Zhuang can ask you to return the silver at any time, and now Qi Dafu Qian Zhuang has officially filed a lawsuit for repayment of the money, asking you to return the silver immediately, this official has ruled according to the contract, their request is valid, and this official requires you to return the silver before the fall, Otherwise, the mortgage will be awarded to Qi Dafu Qianzhuang. ”

Su Hanzhen spoke very slowly, but he said every word clearly, and every sentence hit the hearts of the three of them like a sledgehammer, making their hearts almost burst, one million taels of silver, where can they come out at this moment when the mountains and rivers are exhausted.

Shopkeeper He asked Steward Zhao in a low voice, "How much silver is still in the North City Money Village?" ”

"We only have 150,000 taels, but there are at least more than 1 million taels of redemption outside, how many more are there in Nanshi?"

He Guan Shi screamed, they are less than 100,000 taels, and the Baifu Commercial Bank is really going to be finished this time.

Steward He bowed down again and said: "Lord Hui, although we are the manager of Qianzhuang, the chief manager of Donghai County Baifu Commercial Bank is Huangfu Qu, I am afraid that only he can call the shots in this matter." ”

They had no choice but to push it to Huangfuqu, but Su Hanzhen threw down a document and said coldly: "This is Qi Dafu's repayment request, Huangfuqu has already signed it, he has agreed to return it immediately, and the official asked you to come, just to ask you to take the silver." ”

The repayment request fell to the ground, and there was clearly Huangfuqu's signature and his handprint underneath, 'Admit the creditor's rights and return it immediately, Huangfuqu!' ’

The three of them were stunned, they didn't know that Huangfu Qu had been arrested, what should they do now?

"This official is to give you face, so he let himself pay the money, Huangfu Qu has signed, and this official is going to send someone to the money bank to withdraw the silver."

In desperation, he had to say: "Our treasury has run out of silver, there is no silver to take, we are willing to use 1.2 million debts or silver bills to pay off the debt, I don't know..."

Before he finished speaking, Qi Dafu's steward Qiao categorically refused, "No, our Qi Dafu only needs to repay the debt in cash, and don't want anything else, this is stipulated in the contract." ”

Chief Steward Wang always felt that Qi Fengwu's posture was very similar to Mrs. Chen yesterday, but Mrs. Chen covered her veil yesterday, he didn't dare to confirm it, he was very suspicious in his heart, and hurriedly said: "My lord, we are willing to use 1.2 million goods to pay off the debt." ”

Su Hanzhen glanced at Qi Fengwu, "Miss Qi is willing to accept it?" ”

Qi Fengwu's tea had been shipped away overnight last night, and she didn't have any worries, so she glanced at Steward Wang, and shook her head resolutely, "We only do things according to the contract, there is no silver, we take away the mortgaged property." ”

At this time, Wang Daste heard her voice, it was Mrs. Chen yesterday, he suddenly weakened his legs, and almost fell, he felt that he had been fooled, and he was actually bought 420,000 quintals of tea by Qi Ruifu at a loss of blood price, which was simply a great shame for Baifu Commercial Bank. He hated blood in his heart, but he bit his lip and didn't dare to say a word more, he would never dare to let people know that he was in charge of the Qi family, let alone let the other two stewards suspect, otherwise Huangfu Yibiao and those people knew that he was going to be beaten to death by them, and they would take all their anger out on themselves.

Su Hanzhen shouted, "The official finally asked again, can the Baifu Money Village immediately repay one million taels of silver?" ”

The two money village stewards are like defeated roosters, their heads are wilted, since Huangfuqu has signed, what's the point of them fighting again? Both of them had the strength to say, "I really can't get any money." ”

"Smack!"

A crisp sound sounded in the lobby, Su Hanzhen slapped the shocked wood, and announced loudly: "This official pronounces the verdict, Baifu Qian Zhuang cannot repay the silver according to the contract, according to the contract, all mortgaged real estate stores belong to Qi Dafu, and this judgment will take effect immediately!" ”
