Kang Yanjiang is a junior of the side branch of the Kang family, in his thirties, who is a money bank shopkeeper in Linfen.

Linfen is not a big place, so it is difficult for the shop in charge of Kang Yanjiang to be ordinary, and the façade is only medium. However, as long as you step into this shop, you will usually be three points quieter. Because this is where the general cabinet of Kangjia Money Village is located! Even if the county magistrate of Linfen comes, he must be careful.

Today, Kang Roaring River is getting up late. Yesterday he drank alcohol, which gave him a headache all the time, so it was already noon before he got up. However, he is not in a hurry, he is the big treasurer, and under normal circumstances, no one will care about him. Therefore, he shook his arms slowly and leisurely, humming Shanxi Bangzi and walked towards Qianzhuang, but when he could see the gate of Qianzhuang at the corner of the street, a person suddenly rushed out and pounced on him, and then, grabbing his shoulders was a flurry.

"Roar, it's not good, there's something big!"

"Stop, stop...... What are you dangling, you? As soon as he stretched out his arm, Kang Yanjiang pulled the person who was holding his shoulder aside, and asked impatiently, "What can be a big deal?" Wouldn't it be better for you kid to go to the county government and call a few people to come over and support the façade? To deal with a few small canthrid thieves who don't have long eyes, do you still need to work me? ”

"Roar, no! There are hundreds of them! Can't be caught, it's all officers and soldiers! …… The county master said that he had already gone out to 'visit friends', and Liu Dascar, that bastard, also took the catch, saying that he wanted to protect the county master, and ran away with him! The person who came to report said with a bitter face.

"Officers and soldiers?" Kang Roaring Jiang's scalp was at first glance, and his eyes, which were still a little blurry, immediately opened wide, and then, with a "slush" sound, he turned around, "You hold on first, I'll go to the fort to report the news!" After that, he pulled his legs and was about to run.

"Don't be cheap! Roar, what are you going to do with me if you want to run away? There are still more than 200,000 taels of silver left in our Zhuangzi! If I let these soldiers disappear, Master Kang won't be able to spare me, and he will definitely not be able to let you go! The person who reported the news was quick-handed, grabbed Kang Yanjiang's clothes and dragged him to prevent him from leaving.

"The king has to enter! You've grown up! Pushing the person who reported the news hard, Kang Yanjiang pulled his clothes back and shouted: "I'm going to find someone to help, why don't you let me go?" You're also a shopkeeper, so you can't block it first? Why is this not righteous? ”

"Grande, you are the big shopkeeper, I'm just a second shopkeeper, I can't count, I can't count. I can't afford to take this seriously! Wang Dejin also pulled Kang Yanjiang hard, but he didn't let him run.

"You let go, let go, if you don't let me go, I'm in a hurry with you! ……”

"Don't let it go, can't let it go!"

……

"Hey, have you pulled enough?"

The "tug-of-war" game between Kang Yanjiang and Wang Dejin, the big shopkeeper and the second shopkeeper, did not last long, and a team of soldiers surrounded them. The lead one asked loudly at the two.

"Master Jun, this, hi, hi, hi......" Under the forced gaze of these soldiers, Kang Yanjiang and Wang Dejin let go. It was Wang Dejin again, this time his eyes and legs were fast, and he retreated behind Kang Yanjiang in one step, so that Kang Yanjiang had to step in front and laugh at these soldiers. The Kang family is not afraid of the county government, not afraid of the government office, and it will not work if it goes up, the last time Ge Li's lesson let them know that the big officials are not easy to mess with, and the Kang family has been careful about people above the three-grade official office since then. And now, the uniforms on this group of soldiers are very different from ordinary soldiers, the front and back are clear, and there are no words such as "soldier", "brave", "salt", "prison", etc., which shows that it is very likely that those who come are the personal soldiers of those big officials, and they belong to the list of people who are definitely not easy to mess with.

"Are you a widow?" The leading soldier asked as he listened to Kang Yanjiang's flattering laughter.

"No, no, no, Master Jun, the little ones are Linfen locals, not Japanese people!" Kang Yanjiang hurriedly said.

"Not? So you're a 'hey', you? The leading soldier scolded Kang Yanjiang, and then pointed to the gate of the money village and asked, "Are you this money village...... Can you be the Lord and a man of words? ”

"This ...... The small one is the big shopkeeper of this bank! Kang Yanjiang bent his legs slightly and said with a smile.

"The big treasurer? That's right. The leading soldier suddenly reached out and grabbed the back of Kang Yanjiang's neck, "Let Lao Tzu catch you!" Let's go. Damn, I actually made Lao Tzu wait all morning, and told you that our wife was in a hurry, and Lao Tzu picked your skin first! ”

"Oh, military master, you slow down, slow down...... "Madame? Kang Yanjiang begged for mercy while trying to make his mind spin, and then, he turned the character he was about to face into a noble lady who came out to fight the autumn wind with the power of the men in the family, so his heart gradually let go, and secretly began to figure it out.

……

"Your Excellency is the treasurer of this bank?" Seeing that Kang Yanjiang was "invited" in by his own soldiers, Mo Jing smiled slightly and asked. She had been sitting in the lobby of the bank. Originally, for a person like her who looks like an extraordinary person or a big customer, the money village will have a quiet room for temporary seating, but because the "Kang million" lives in Kangjiabao in Linfen, and although the store in Linfen is small, it is the general cabinet of Kangjia Qianzhuang, so most of the characters on the table go directly to Kangjiabao to find someone, but they are not waiting here; As for those who can't get on the table, naturally they don't need to be let to the quiet room by the general cabinet of Kang's bank, so "Kang Million" simply cut off this "big room" that is necessary for the bank. Save money!

"Don't dare, don't dare, villain roaring in the river! The shopkeeper of the bank, this ...... I don't know if Mrs. is here, and I don't welcome you from afar, and I ask Mrs. to forgive me! After Kang Yanjiang saw Mo Jing's gentle attitude, he didn't know how to be nervous, and hurriedly adjusted the clothes on his body, and came to a ninety-degree turn.

"Kang Roaring River? What a resounding name! Mo Jing smiled slightly.

"Don't dare, how dare the villain's name be loud? As long as you can not stain Madame's ears, thank God! Kang Yanjiang said with a smile.

"The big shopkeeper doesn't have to be so polite. Actually, I didn't want to bring so many people here, and now this situation is just because of a small misunderstanding, and it's not a big deal. Moreover, since I have come to your bank, you can just treat me as a guest, so you don't have to be so nervous! Seeing some beads of sweat on Kang Yanjiang's head, Mo Jing couldn't help but be a little funny. These people really scared themselves, she thought to herself.

When she first came, she only brought three or five personal soldiers, saying that she wanted to see the steward. The second shopkeeper Wang Dejin didn't treat her as an important person, and when he heard her say this, he asked her to sit aside and wait. As a result, I didn't expect Kang Yanjiang to drink too much yesterday, and he didn't show up after waiting for a long time. At this time, Shen Qingyu and her original personal soldiers couldn't stay in the residence, and sent more than a dozen people to come over to see the situation. As a result, the second shopkeeper Wang Dejin thought that there was trouble, and immediately sent someone to inform the county yamen. And after the people from the county yamen came, they were sent away by her personal soldiers before they got close to Qianzhuang, and then waited! waited until noon, and Shen Qingyu and the team also drove over. Although these three or four hundred soldiers were just standing guard inside and outside the money village, they almost cleared the street at once, and there was a side effect outside, that is, they accidentally sealed the door of the money village......

"This ...... Good! Madame, you are so generous! While smiling at Mo Jing, he was secretly anxious, a woman who was a little bit domineering was easy to deal with, he was most afraid of being such a gentle and polite woman like Mo Jing, most of these women have some skills, and they are difficult to deal with!

"Okay, let's not say it's irrelevant. The big shopkeeper, I have something here that I want to bet on here, in exchange for some silver, I don't know if the big shopkeeper can be the master? Mo Jing motioned to his subordinates to pick up a brocade box that was two feet long and one foot wide, put it on the coffee table beside him, and asked Kang Yanjiang.

"This ...... How dare Madame's trumpet collect indiscriminately? Moreover, Mrs. wants to exchange silver, on the ground in Shanxi, there are pawnshops that can be stored, you can rest assured, they will never dare to give you a low price. Kang Yanjiang looked at Mo Jing's face and said cautiously.

"I know that there are many pawnshops in Shanxi. I heard that there are as many as 4,800 pawnshops in Shanxi Province, accounting for one-fifth of the whole world! It's just that I can't afford this thing at the pawnshop, so it's better to come to the money bank! Mo Jing said with a smile. Since she wants to enter the customs, Mo Jing, the most profitable pawnshop business at present, of course also understands it, in fact, not only Shanxi, but also Zhili, Shaanxi, Shandong and other northern ground business conditions She also has a general understanding. Originally, she wanted to go to the south to have a look, but she encountered the incident of Anhui and had to return north.

"That'...... I don't know what this thing is, madam? Kang Yanjiang secretly screamed bad luck and had to start asking the price.

"Come on, open the box, please take a look at it!" Mo Jing smiled and took a step back, and immediately a pro-soldier stepped forward to open the brocade box. Kang Yanjiang was a little far away from Mo Jing, and after seeing the box open, he slowly took a step forward and looked at the side of the box......

"Western chiming bells?"

"Does the shopkeeper recognize this kind of thing?" Mo Jingxiao asked.

"Recognize, recognize, I've seen one in our old man's house...... Madame, is this self-striking clock you want to be? Kang Yanjiang rubbed his hands and asked Mo Jing.

"It's not dang, it's a bet! Mortgage! Mo Jing corrected him.

"Ahh Yes yes yes mortgage! …… I don't know how much silver you have to pledge, madam? Kang Yanjiang asked cautiously, and at the same time, he was secretly praying in his heart: I hope this woman doesn't open her mouth!

"How much money is mortgaged?" Mo Jing smiled and groaned for a while, then suddenly looked at Kang Yanjiang and said with a smile: "I don't know how much silver do you think this chiming bell is worth now?" ”
