Chapter 219: A Million Silver Taels
Under everyone's gaze, Xu Jingye walked down from the carriage unhurriedly.
He looked around with a calm expression, and finally his eyes fell on Shangguan Wuji's body, and he stepped forward and stretched out his hand and said: "Lord Shangguan doesn't need to be polite, Xu Mou guards Lingyang at the holy will of His Majesty, and he will have to rely on Lord Shangguan and you to support him in the future!"
Shangguan Wuji's breathing suddenly suffocated.
As the so-called those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come, Xu Jingye, as a great Confucian of the imperial history of the dynasty, is definitely not a simple person, he wants to give the other party a dismount, but in the end, he gave the other party a chance to establish his authority, and put him in the position of a minister in one sentence.
However, Shangguan Wuji is not an idle role, otherwise it would be impossible to sit in the position of Lingyang City Guard for ten years, he immediately smiled and said: "Lord Xu is serious, please move Yuanfeng Building, I will set up a banquet for the adults to catch the wind and wash the dust!"
"You're welcome!"
How could Xu Jingye be at the mercy of Shangguan Wuji, and refused without hesitation: "This official is very tired, let's talk about it tomorrow!"
really didn't give any face, and he also implied that Shangguan Wuji was ignorant.
No matter how deep Shangguan Wuji's city government is, when he heard such an answer, he couldn't help twitching the corners of his eyes a few times, and saluted again: "I don't think about it and ask your lord to forgive me, the mansion has been cleaned up, please come in and rest!"
Xu Jingye ignored him, turned his head to Qin Yun and smiled: "Xiaoyou, thank you for escorting you all the way, I won't keep you, but if you have anything in the future, just come to me!"
Qin Yun smiled and nodded. He understood that it was not Xu Jingye who crossed the river and demolished the bridge and turned his face and did not recognize people, but he was unwilling to drag himself into the troubled waters of Lingyang officialdom. After all, the path he took was different from the other party.
Shangguan Wuji's eyes flashed, and he asked, "May I ask who this is?"
"In the Lower Heaven City Sword Sect Qin Yun!" Qin Yun sat steadily on horseback. casually clasped his fists and replied: "Master Xu and I are forgetful friends, but I have something to do today, so I will leave first!"
Heavenly City Sword Sect!
Shangguan Wuji's eyes and pupils shrank suddenly, Xu Jingye and his family were reprimanded to Lingyang, of course he didn't have any awe, but after all, the other party represented the imperial power of Dayan and could not be insulted.
If it is also stained with the Heavenly City Sword Sect. That would undoubtedly be even trickier!
With Xu Jingye's great reputation in Dayan, it was not surprising that the Heavenly City Sword Sect sent one or two disciples to protect him.
Qin Yun didn't look at Shangguan Wuji's uncertain face, and saluted Xu Jingye again. Then he turned his horse's head and ran towards the end of the long street, and disappeared from everyone's sight in a blink of an eye.
Qin Yun was not worried about any danger Xu Jingye, the other party had told him when he was on the road that Lingyang City was currently controlled by the so-called Seven Masters headed by the Shangguan Clan, and he would definitely not welcome him, the new city guard sent from Yanjing.
But the Seven Masters are just local heroes, they dare to send people to intercept Xu Jingye halfway, but they definitely don't dare to murder in Lingyang City, on the contrary, they have to protect Xu Jingye's safety.
Because once Xu Jingye had an accident, the officials in Lingyang City, big and small, who were closely related to the Seven Families, would be inseparable, and Dayan could use this as an excuse to purge Lingyang.
Emperor Longwu didn't even need to send someone directly to do it. As long as the order is given to a few princes and counties near Jingnan, I believe that those county kings will be happy to expand their power and collect the wealth of the seven families for themselves.
Qin Yun felt that there were still some things that Xu Jingye might not be convenient to say, the reason why the wise and martial emperor didn't give Xu Jingye a guard of honor was probably because he wished that the local heroes of Lingyang would take action and help him kill the imperial historians who often made him unhappy, and then in turn to wipe out these heroes, it was definitely killing two birds with one stone!
Therefore, Xu Jingye will not have anything to do in Lingyang for the time being, as for the development of the situation in the future. It's not something that Qin Yun can take care of and interfere with, if it weren't for the coincidence, he wouldn't have intervened at all.
Turning the road crossing, there is a bustling main street in front of you.
Qin Yun jumped off the horse's back and led the black horse slowly down the street.
He was not in a hurry to go to the Shui family, and was going to familiarize himself with Lingyang City first, and buy a gift by the way.
The current head of the Shui family, Shui Mingdong, is Shui Wanning's father, according to the seniority, Qin Yun should call the other party Shigong, how can he be empty-handed when he visits for the first time, even if he carries the items that Shui Wanning wants to send to the Shui family.
Although Lingyang City is located in the southernmost part of Dayan, it guards the main road from south to north, and has the convenience of waterways, so the variety of goods in the shops in the city is very rich, and it looks dazzling.
Fragrant rice, refined salt, silk and porcelain from Tiannan, fur medicinal herbs, and fine iron blades from the north are all available, and customers come and go from various shops, and the trade prosperity is no less than that of large cities such as Qianchao.
Qin Yun looked all the way and suddenly stopped at the door of a commercial bank.
The five-storey building stands out from the crowd of surrounding buildings, and the dozens of feet wide façade, the thick red columns, and the fierce and elite samurai guards in front of the door all show the size and strength of this trading house.
On the porch of the main gate, there is a huge plaque with gold on a black background, on which the four big characters of "Kyushu Commercial Bank" are shining and very eye-catching.
The Kyushu Commercial Bank is a well-known large trading house in the vast mainland, it is said that the business spreads all over Kyushu, the strength of the capital is unfathomable, and the gold and silver coupons issued by the Kyushu Money Bank under his command pass through the entire continent.
It was not uncommon for Lingyang City to have a branch of the Kyushu Commercial Bank, but Qin Yun's attention to it was for another reason.
After a moment's thought, he bolted the horse to the stake on the street corner and stepped into the gate.
The hall inside is spacious and luxuriously decorated, although there are not many guests, but they all look rich or expensive, Qin Yun just walked in, and immediately a gray-robed old man greeted him.
"Guest, do you need anything?" the old man said with a smile: "I am Zhong Sun Han, the steward of the trading bank, and I am happy to serve you!"
With such thoughtful and enthusiastic service, if you don't have some strength, you're really embarrassed to cross the high threshold behind.
Qin Yun smiled, reached out and took out a metal plate from his arms and handed it over.
This metal plaque is no more than half the size of a palm, but it is nearly half an inch thick, heavy and heavy, and there are countless fine runes engraved on the surface. Directly above it is inlaid with a bright red gem like blood, and the words "Kyushu Commercial Bank" are engraved in the middle, which is exactly the same as the plaque in front of the door.
Seeing this metal plate, Zhong Sun Han's expression suddenly changed, and his originally straight waist immediately bent down, and said respectfully: "It turned out that it was a distinguished guest who came to the door, and please come to the room to talk." ”
Qin Yun's heart moved, nodded and followed the old man towards the inside.
There is a hole behind the hall, and there are rows of houses with beautiful scenery through the passage corridor, and there is actually a rockery flower pond in the middle, and the quiet environment is very elegant.
Zhongsun Han led Qin Yun into one of the elegant houses.
After taking a seat, the pretty maid brought hot fragrant tea, and there was a delicate copper stove in the corner of the room, and the charcoal in it burned vigorously, making the whole room warm and very comfortable.
Zhongsun Han invited Qin Yun to drink fragrant tea, and then asked respectfully, "Guest, do you need to withdraw cash or silver tickets?"
Qin Yun put down the teacup and asked, "If I want to mention it, how much can I extract?"
Zhongsun Han rubbed his hands and replied: "You also know that with this supreme card, you can withdraw millions of silver, if the silver ticket can be opened, if you want to cash silver, the current ticket number can only withdraw up to 300,000, please forgive the guests!"
Withdraw millions!
Qin Yun definitely didn't expect that the metal card in his hand was so valuable!
This metal plaque was inadvertently picked up by Qin Yun from the ruins after killing Tu Wanxiong that night, and it should have been an object that the old demon carried with him before his death, but it was not damaged under the bombardment of sword qi.
At that time, he felt that this thing must be very unusual, so he kept it on his body, and today he saw the Kyushu Commercial Bank, so he came in specially to ask what it did, because there was the emblem of the Commercial Bank on the card.
But the result of the temptation made Qin Yun completely speechless!
One million taels of silver! The ordinary rich family's wealth is nothing more than that, and it is a mountain of silver when piled up!
Although he was shocked and surprised in his heart, Qin Yun believed that the other party was definitely not talking about it, it was normal for the firm to rely on tokens to pick up goods and silver, and listening to the other party's meaning, it seemed that as long as there was this brand, he could withdraw money.
Tu Wanxiong has been famous for more than 20 years, and he has repeatedly committed major bloody crimes, and it is not surprising that he has a large group of war horses to feed like the White Lady, and has accumulated millions of fortunes.
I'm afraid that this bloodthirsty old devil would never have dreamed that the belongings he had worked so hard to save would end up being cheaper than others.
Qin Yun's heart was racing, and he said casually: "I'm not here to withdraw money today, I want to buy something from your bank."
Hearing that Qin Yun was not here to withdraw the silver, Zhongsun Han breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, the Lingyang semicolon is not the general number, the stock of cash silver is limited, although it is more than 300,000, but if it is taken away so much at one time, it will inevitably be stretched, although it is better to issue a silver ticket, it cannot stand the exchange of others.
As for spending money to buy things, it is naturally very welcome: "I don't know what your guests need, it's not a little old man boasting, as long as it's something in Lingyang City, our firm will definitely have a way to help you do it!"
Qin Yun smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that I'm going to visit an elder and want to prepare a suitable gift, I wonder if you can help me think about it?"
He entered the Kyushu trading house mainly to understand the origin of the metal card in hand, and now after listening clearly, buying gifts is completely just a trend, since the other party can pat his chest, then there is no need to run around.
Regarding Qin Yun's request, Zhong Sun Han didn't feel embarrassed at all, and immediately said: "That's easy! There are a few new treasures from Xiaoyingzhou in the line recently, and I think it is absolutely suitable as a gift for honoring the elders...... Thanks to Xie Zhixiu...... Tips from friends!rq
