Xu Yang and Ma Zichen went to a clothing store, bought a set of civilian clothes to change into, and threw the prison guard's clothes into the dung pit. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Xu Yang saw that the heavy silver tied to his body caused inconvenience to walking, so he asked Ma Zichen where he had a rich bank, so that he could exchange all the silver into silver tickets, so that it would be easy to carry. Ma Zichen led the way for Xu Yang to Hengxing Bank, and was surprised to find that the money village had also been looted, the gate of the money village was closed, and more than a dozen bodyguards stood around to patrol around.

The two of them saw that this money bank had been looted, not to mention that Henghe and Hengyuan had also been looted. Ma Zichen saw Xu Yang crying and mournful, thought about it, and said, "There is still a money village at the gate of the city, we can go there to see if the door is also closed." If this bank is also closed, then it can be guaranteed that all the money houses in Xiangcheng will be looted. It's just that this money bank is not as powerful as the four major money houses of Hengli, but it is also well-known in the Celestial Empire, and there are semicolons all over the country, which can be exchanged. ”

Xu Yang thought about it, and that was the only way, so he walked towards the south gate under the leadership of the other party. As the two approached the south gate, they saw a magnificent building standing on the side of the street. I saw that the building had four floors, and there were guards standing around it, watching everyone who came and went. Xu Yang and the two came downstairs, and when they saw that the door was open, there was an endless stream of people coming in and out, and they immediately smiled from ear to ear. I saw a plaque hanging upstairs, with the title "Jinxin Qianzhuang", and the left and right couplets were written: The family has a thousand gold, and the waist is wrapped around to ensure Wan'an.

Xu Yang saw that although the pavilion of "Jinxin Qianzhuang" was not as magnificent as the four major Qianzhuang such as Hengli, it was fortunate to survive the catastrophe, and there must be something extraordinary. The two walked into the lobby of the bank, and immediately a person wearing small glasses came up and asked, "Are the two guest officers saving money or cashing money?"

"We want to exchange the money we have for a silver ticket. Xu Yang said.

The man looked at Xu Yang and Ma Zichen, and found that although the two of them were dressed in good quality, they felt that there were too many people who pretended to be pigs and ate tigers in recent years, and asked tentatively: "How many taels of silver tickets do you want to exchange?"

Xu Yang thought that he had obtained more than 2,000 taels of silver from the tobacco house, and he had also found dozens of taels of silver and gold from the prison guard. Xu Yang saw that the staff of Qian Zhuang looked at him disdainfully, snorted coldly, and said, "I want to exchange two thousand taels of silver for a silver ticket." ”

When the officer saw that the other party was going to exchange two thousand taels of silver, his eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, and he thought that he had heard it wrong, so he hurriedly asked, "Are you sure you want to exchange two thousand taels of silver?"

"What's the matter? You don't exchange silver tickets here? If you don't, we'll have to look elsewhere." When Xu Yang spoke, he pulled Ma Zichen and walked outside.

When Xu Yang pulled Ma Zichen to leave from Jinxin Qianzhuang, the Qianzhuang staff behind him immediately blocked the way of the two, smiled and said happily: "The two guest officers are wrong. Our Jinxin Money Village is the most powerful in the Celestial Empire, and there are semicolons all over the country, and it is very convenient to exchange. The two guest officers still don't go to other money banks, just exchange them at our Jinxin Money Bank. ”

Xu Yang saw that the other party was wagging his tail like a pug, with a pair of eyes open to see money, and said to Ma Zichen: "Since people are kind enough to leave us to exchange it, and we don't bother to go elsewhere, we just exchange it here." ”

Ma Zichen originally thought that Xu Yang was really leaving, but he didn't think about it, but he pretended to leave, not really wanted to leave. Ma Zichen just nodded, and then the staff of the money bank said: "The two of you are our VIPs here, let's go to the back room and talk!" When he said that, he saw that the two of them were empty-handed, and they didn't carry any packages or anything like that, so they wondered where the two of them put the silver?

As the two of them walked from the lobby to the back, they looked at the vendors and residents on the left and right who were exchanging money and depositing money, and there was a counter on the left and right sides, which was more than one person high, and the people who were exchanging money outside could only see what was inside with a pair of eyes. Inside the counter, the staff of the money bank walked back and forth, weighing gold and silver with scales. Behind these bankers are rows of large cabinets, in which money and other things are placed.

Xu Yang and Ma Zichen went to the back under the leadership of the Qian Zhuang staff, only to see that behind them was a four-story courtyard, and there was a guard with a knife at each door. Xu Yang looked at the formation of the courtyard, and guessed that if someone dared to rob the money, there would be no return, plus the guards guarding outside, if they really wanted to rob the money from Jinxin Qianzhuang, I was afraid that it would be more difficult than climbing to the sky. That's why the bank wasn't looted. But what made Xu Yang puzzled was that the strength of the four major money banks in the Celestial Empire was so strong, it was impossible for the defense to be worse than this money bank, but why was it looted one after another, and only this Jinxin money bank was still operating normally?

Just when Xu Yang was full of doubts in his heart, Ma Zichen's voice came from his ears: "Brother Xu, it is the first time in my life that I have come to the back of Qianzhuang. It turns out that the back of the money village is like this! This heavily guarded guard has simply surrounded the money village like an iron bucket, who would dare to attack the idea of the money bank?"

"Two guest officers, please come into this room. The money dealer said.

Xu Yang saw that there was a room in front of him, and when he saw the other party making a gesture of please towards him, he knew that he was negotiating in this house. At first, Xu Yang thought that he could exchange the silver for a silver ticket at the counter outside, but he didn't think that he would have to go into the back room to exchange it. The three of them came to the back room one after another, but saw that there was only a table and a few stools in the room, and there was nothing around. The staff of the money village asked the two of them to sit down, and then asked one of the people outside to make tea.

After Xu Yang and Ma Zichen were ready, they saw someone come in and put a kettle and three cups, then made tea, and turned to leave. The money dealer asked the two of them amiably, "Are the two guest officers doing business?"

"We're just doing a little bit of business. Let's redeem the silver ticket as soon as possible!" Xu Yang naturally did not tell the other party the truth, but said ambiguously.

The staff of the money bank naturally understood that the secret of the guest could not be asked indiscriminately, and when he heard that the other party was going to exchange the silver ticket immediately, he was shocked, wondering if the two of them had brought two thousand taels of silver with them? and asked: "Two guest officers, do you want to exchange the two thousand taels of silver for one silver ticket, or two silver tickets of one thousand taels? Or twenty silver tickets of one hundred taels, or forty pieces of fifty taels, or do you want to exchange them for silver tickets of small denominations?"

"It's good to exchange it for twenty silver tickets of one hundred taels. Xu Yang said.

Seeing that the other party was so happy, the staff of the Qian Zhuang smiled on their faces and said, "How about asking the two guest officers to let the two thousand taels of silver be weighed on the next scale?"

"Wait. Let's talk about the interest first!" Ma Zichen hurriedly said. It turns out that the money banks of the Celestial Empire have a rule: when depositors deposit money in the bank, the money bank will charge the depositor a certain interest according to the length of time the depositor has saved, instead of paying the depositor the corresponding interest. (This is the opposite of today's financial industry.) ）

When the staff of the money bank heard the other party ask about the interest, they still smiled and said: "Our Jinxin money bank can stand tall with credibility. Originally, depositors were charged a certain amount of interest on depositing silver, and a certain amount of interest was also charged on the exchange of silver bills. However, our money bank stipulates that if the guest official exchanges more than 1,000 taels of silver, he does not need to pay extra interest. Therefore, you do not need to pay any interest to our bank. ”

Xu Yang and Ma Zichen breathed a heavy sigh of relief after listening to each other's explanation. Xu Yang untied the silver from his waist and put it on the table, and Ma Zichen also untied fifty taels of silver from his waist and put it on the table. The money dealer saw that the two of them had tied the silver around their waists, so they didn't find out where the money was. When they saw the two of them putting the silver on the table at the same time, they heard the familiar sound of "jingling bell", and their faces suddenly turned into red flowers with smiles.

The staff of the money bank saw that the silver of the two people was picked up in a package, and also heard the sound of the silver, so he immediately said to the two of them to wait for a while, and then walked out of the door, whispered a few words to a person outside, and then came back and sat down. After waiting for a while, I saw two Qian Zhuang personnel walking outside, each holding a plate with a box, two small scales, and two abacus, and four sword-wielding guards behind them.

When the two money bank personnel walked to the room one after another, one of them handed the box to the money bank staff who was talking to Xu Yang, and then the two of them began to count the silver taels and calculate the abacus. While Xu Yang and Ma Zichen were drinking tea, they saw that the two personnel were carefully counting the silver.

In less than half an hour of incense, the two staff members of the money bank counted the silver, and there were two thousand one hundred and twenty taels of silver and twenty taels of gold. The staff of the money bank asked if they were all exchanged for silver tickets, and Xu Yang only exchanged for silver tickets of 2,000 taels. After the money village staff calculated, they returned one hundred and twenty taels of silver and twenty taels of gold to Xu Yang, and then took out twenty silver tickets of one hundred taels from the box and gave them to Xu Yang, and said something to come back later.

Xu Yang saw that the twenty silver tickets in his hand were covered with strange patterns and large and small seals, and in the center were the four big characters "Jinxin Qianzhuang". Xu Yang cautiously put the silver ticket in his arms, and then said goodbye and left.

When the money village staff sent Xu Yang and the others away, Xu Yang looked back and saw that the two money village personnel who had just counted the money for themselves came down to the second floor under the escort of the guards, and then walked into a room in the south.

Xu Yang and Ma Zichen left Qianzhuang, smiled in their hearts, discussed a thing or two, and decided to go to a restaurant in the city to have a full meal. Just as the two of them walked towards the street, they didn't notice that the two pairs of eyes were already fixed on them.

The two of them came to a restaurant not far from the south gate, only to see the traffic, the flow of people in an endless stream, the aroma of wine, and the sound of laughter endlessly. I saw that this restaurant has four floors, and the plaque on it is inscribed "Laifu Inn", and the left and right couplets are written: In the bamboo leaf cup, thousands of miles of streams and mountains send green;

Just as the two of them were looking towards this Rift Inn, a junior second came up to the two of them and asked, "Is the guest staying or eating?"

"Of course I'm here to eat. What delicacies do you have here?" asked Xu Yang.

Xiao Er saw the two gods of wealth sent to the door, and saw the two of them face to face, still smiling, such as a few family treasures: "Beasts in the mountains, swallows in the clouds, cattle and sheep on the land, fresh under the sea, monkey head bird's nest, shark fins, bear's paws, dried scallops, and deer tail tips." One product of heavenly fragrance, two plum blossoms, three-color dragon and phoenix, four treasures of beauty, colorful fruity, six kings of the city, seven star peas, eight immortals scattered feast, nine turns of fat intestines, ten flavors of shark fin. As long as the guest officer wants to eat, we have it here. ”

"We want to eat dragon liver and phoenix gall, do you have one here?" said Xu Yang with a smile.

Xiao Er saw that the other party was joking, and laughed dryly, not knowing how to answer. Xu Yang didn't joke with the other party, but said: "Choose a clean room for us, you can't benefit from it." ”

Xiao Er smiled and said, "Please go up to the third floor and sit down." After speaking, make a gesture of please for the two of them.

Xu Yang and Ma Zichen walked into the restaurant, only to see that the first floor was full, full of people, and the fragrance of wine was overflowing. The two of them went up the stairs to the second floor, and saw that the second floor was neatly arranged and full of tables, and each table was basically full of people. The two of them went up from the second floor to the third floor, only to see that half of the tables on the third floor were vacant. The two of them chose a table near the window to sit down, and then the little two sent the tea, put the recipe, and asked for the name of the dish.

Xu Yang handed the recipe to Ma Zichen and motioned for the other party to report it. Ma Zichen asked the other party if he ate meat and vegetables, and Xu Yang nodded acceptably. Ma Zichen thought about it, ordered a "step by step", and then gave the recipe to Xu Yang, signaling the rest of the other party to order.

Xu Yang saw that the other party only ordered one, and also guessed that the other party was shy in his pocket, so he ordered the hawthorn Tai Chi cup, one palm to set the country, the overlord to wear gold armor, and the four dishes to dominate the top. After Xiao Er memorized the name of the dish, he asked what kind of wine he wanted? Xu Yang asked what kind of good wine there was? Xiao Er reported each wine like a few treasures, and said all the benefits of it. Xu Yang ordered a "Cangzhou Gin", and then took out a broken silver from his arms and gave it to Xiao Er, asking the other party to hurry up.

Xiao Er was overjoyed to get the silver, and when he was about to leave with the name of the dish, Ma Zichen next to him said, "Wait a minute." Brother Xu, I heard that this 'Cangzhou Gin' costs a tael of silver to drink, which is very valuable, and we spend money lavishly, isn't it too extravagant?"

Xu Yang waved his hand at Xiao'er, signaled the other party to leave, and then said: "I suffered such a great disaster with you in prison, use this good wine to go to the disaster and sweep away the criticism." Today, it is rare for us to escape death again and again, and I have befriended you, a talented person, which can be described as a friend of life and death! Don't say so much, I invite you today. ”
