Chapter 65: The Money Village Turmoil (2)
Xia Yiyu took everyone to the lobby on the first floor first, at this time the lobby of Qianzhuang was already full of people, even the street at the door was crowded with people, and the guards of Qianzhuang were all maintaining order inside and out.
Almost all the people in the team were saying that the royal money bank had embezzled the people's silver taels, and they were talking about many negative topics about the money bank.
Xie Yufei noticed that this thing was strange, how could ordinary people have spare money to save for a fixed time? Even if there are, there are a small number of them, and most of them will only be greedy for small and cheap savings. Fortunately, the bank has been open for a short time, and there are not many low deposits over the counter.
Xie Yufei frowned and looked at these noisy people, even if these people had bad intentions, they couldn't be touched at this time, otherwise they would have to sit down on their agitation, and it would cause panic. You can make noise, and we can appease us, and we will say our own thing.
Xie Yufei gave a few orders to the office clerks next to him, and they followed the crowd into the street.
Several scribes shouted loudly inside and outside: "Everyone, please don't be impatient, the royal money bank still has millions of taels of silver, and the royal money bank has absolutely not embezzled the people's silver taels, if you are really not at ease, the royal money bank also welcomes you to come and take the silver back, as long as you line up and don't be bewitched by people with intentions, the royal money bank can definitely get the silver." ”
There are four sentences of 'Royal Bank' after shouting, constantly reminding that the backstage of this money bank is royal, so that the small number of people who are really encouraged will feel a lot more at ease after hearing it. As long as they saw that the people in front of them would receive the money, they would have dispersed, but now it is seen that the silver cannot hold them until they are scattered.
Xia Yiyu saw that the crowd became a lot quieter after the scribe shouted, "Yu Fei, are you going to open the five windows where the silver is stored too?" ”
"Don't open it! If they want to make trouble, let them spend more time queuing, and the people who are not here to make trouble will see that the person in front of them can get the silver, and the impatience of waiting will dissipate. Cousin! Leave it to me here, you go to the East Market to have a look! Xie Fei said that he would go up to the second floor, the second floor was the most important, and the amount to be taken was very large.
"This lord, this is a delaying strategy, I am afraid that the silver we have saved has been misappropriated, and we will not send another batch of silver out at noon? I'm afraid that the royal money will run out of money, and now we want to get our money back, otherwise it will be even more difficult to get it back after a long time."
Xie Yufei was still on the stairs when he heard someone making a loud noise, so he quickened his pace and went up the stairs.
"This brother is right, although the money bank has saved a lot of money recently, but it has borrowed more, and the royal bank must have no money to take so it has been dragging us all the time."
Xie Yufei looked at the person who spoke, his eyebrows raised slightly, how did this person know to borrow more? Nonsense happens to be accurate? Or does he know the inside story? Judging by his affirmative tone, it didn't look like nonsense.
There were a few people shouting at the scribe in front of them, and some people didn't know when they went upstairs, Xie Yufei stepped forward and coughed dryly, and everyone turned their heads to look.
"Ladies and gentlemen! I am one of the stewards of the Royal Bank, and the Bank will not embezzle your silver taels, if you have a current deposit, you can withdraw it at any time! But please line up and follow the rules of the bank, this is an official office, not a place where you can make noise. Xie Yufei's face was extremely gloomy, and after that, he found a place to sit down and stopped talking.
Everyone looked at each other, not daring to make a loud noise, this royal money house has been heavily protected from the first day of opening, and they really don't dare to make trouble, so they have to line up with interest.
"Lord steward, the villain is polite, the villain wants to ask the three windows on the third floor before, there are three scribes working, why is there only one left today, so many cumbersome things, a... How busy people are coming, this makes me wait for something to get the money! The person who spoke was a white and fat middle-aged man, the one who said that the money bank lent out more.
"Huh! Please bear with me! The two of them met on vacation! If you're in a hurry to withdraw your money, why don't you get a good spot? Look, you're at the end of the queue, isn't it... Don't you want that? Xie Yufei teased with a good time. I'm too lazy to find excuses, and I can't kill you. If you want to make trouble, just wait.
The white fat middle-aged man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and he didn't dare to say anything more with a smile, and walked to the end of the line to line up.
This was arranged before, and the two of them let them take a vacation in the morning, leaving an older scribe, who would be even slower to do things after following orders.
An hour has passed, and five people have already withdrawn the money and left...
"When is this going to be? That's it, the old man doesn't take it, the old man believes in the royal bank. ”
Seeing that the five people in the front of the queue had all received the money, an old man in fancy clothes in the back of the queue turned around and left after speaking.
"I won't take it either!"
Three people left in succession, and after watching for a while, six more people left, and there were thirty people left in the group.
Xie Yufei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, got up and walked to the office counter, checking the voucher counter tickets that had been returned after taking the money and leaving.
Zhang Qifeng has three counter tickets alone? I saved three times in less than a month, all of which were current, a total of 200,000 yuan, 200,000 yuan is a large amount, deposited in the royal bank to get interest from time to time, the latest deposit date is three days ago, why do you want to move here so quickly? Isn't it more convenient to have your own warehouse?
The remaining four people, 25,000, 30,000, 57,000, and 80,000, these four people seem to have really come to withdraw money, and they have taken up their positions early, but they also have to be checked, and those who leave do not need to check.
It was so busy that it was almost dark, and the royal money bank closed its doors, and the money houses in the east and west cities took out ninety percent of the silver deposited in the afternoon, leaving a total of less than 300,000 yuan.
Xia Yiyu has already sent someone to secretly investigate those customers who have deposited large amounts of silver, and there are many people who are making noise in the lobby on the first floor, so they can only investigate and confirm and record.
"Miss, why did you come back so late today?"
The two maids who were guarding the courtyard saw the two coming back and greeted them.
Xie Yufei and the others were almost silent all the way, and when they returned to the house, Xizhu's question, Xie Yufei didn't pay attention to it, and both of them thought about what happened today.
"Sister Xizhu, let's go and bring out the food in the pot, Your Highness and Miss will go and sit inside for a while!" Xiaoqing saw that the two of them were not very good, and pulled Xizhu away to stop her from continuing to make noise, but she knew that His Highness didn't like Xizhu the most to always make noise.
Xie Yufei took the lead in breaking the silence between the two and said, "Cousin, I suspect that there is eyeliner around us!" Someone actually made it clear that the money banker lent more money than deposited money! ”
Xia Yiyu's face was gloomy when he heard this, and he said: "Only you and me can know the inventory, the bank clerk, the money village business clerk, even the clerks who handle the business at the counter will not know the total number of business in the lobby and VIP area, and the bank keeper only knows the amount of silver in the warehouse, and the only one who manages the business is suspicious." ”
"Cousin! There is another person that you have overlooked, Tao Zhongzhi, a subordinate official of the Prince's Mansion. When something like this happens, it can't be mixed with personal feelings. Both of them are to be investigated. Xie Yufei reminded him.
"That's right! It's me who shouldn't be emotional! The warden sent someone to investigate, and I know a little about him as a subordinate official. Xia Yiyu didn't want to believe that the people around him would be ghosts.
After Xia Yiyu woke up, he continued:
"Tao Zhongzhi has been with me since I opened the mansion, it has been four years, before he was just a tried and tested person, and he had no choice but to enter the Guozi Prison and wait for the election of the officials.
Tao Zhong's family was in the middle of the road, and he couldn't get the money, so he was doomed to be unlucky, and he was elected to the Three Princes' Mansion as a subordinate official. However, after entering the house, he was also conscientious. There has not been anything wrong with it before. ”
