In normal times, Sun Gang would still be interested in teasing Meng Zi with Butler Zhang, but now that the situation was urgent and seeing that the admiral was getting angry, how could he still be interested in chatting with Zhang Ren?
Ren was beaten so hard that he spun around four or five times, with blood spurting from his mouth and teeth all over the floor.
"Don't call me a dog slave. Even if your prince falls into my hands, he will be beaten just like that. You won't tell me, right? Someone, drag me out and feed the dogs!"
As soon as Sun Gang finished speaking, two ferocious dogs burst open the door and rushed in. They picked up Zhang Ren and walked out like an eagle catching a chicken. On the big tree in the yard, two Tibetan mastiff dogs as big as calves were struggling.
He was roaring wildly while holding the iron chain, his red eyes and the saliva hanging on his sharp teeth were extremely terrifying. Zhang Ren was pushed down in the yard, and the two mastiffs were released from the iron chain, and they pounced on him fiercely.
The fishy smell from the dog's mouth sprayed onto Zhang Ren's face. Before the frightened housekeeper Zhang fell into coma, he used his last strength to scream: "I said~~"
Just when Zhang Ren decided to confess, Ri Shengchang finally ran out of money. Facing the people who still lined the streets at dusk, the clerks at the ticket office were helpless. They took out all the money they could. Even these clerks
They all used their own savings to deal with the emergency, but they still couldn't cash out all the banknotes on the market. People were queuing up holding the banknotes, with the intention of never going home until they cashed in their money.
"Why hasn't the silver car from the main warehouse arrived yet?" Hu Yimin asked with a frown. Rishengchang, the railway line from Hefei to Nanjing, can be used with priority. Hefei's main office sent a telegram saying that the silver car has left long ago. Logically speaking, it should arrive now.
, why there is no trace yet? Thinking of the careful planning of this emergency, everyone can't help but worry about the safety of the silver car.
"How many people are there in the escort team?" Liu Ziguang asked with concern.
"The two hundred swordsmen are all good ones trained by Ri Shengchang himself. Their combat effectiveness and loyalty can be trusted," Hu Yimin said.
"That's not what I mean. Our opponents are not ordinary people. They come prepared. They must know everything about Rishengchang. I'm afraid Yinche will be in trouble."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone became more worried. If the silver car was robbed, the loss would not only be one million taels of silver, but also the reputation of Rishengchang and two hundred living lives. The atmosphere in the room became solemn.
, this problem is quite realistic and severe. The people outside have started to make noises of dissatisfaction again recently, ignoring the ticket clerk's request to wait for a while. Occasionally, some irritable people shout and curse. These troublemakers may not all
They are people with ulterior motives,
Nanchang Fanzi cannot arrest people arbitrarily to avoid causing greater civil unrest.
Just when everyone was at a loss what to do, the young man who was suddenly lying on the roof to observe the situation shouted in surprise: "Yin Che!" Then he heard a fierce roar from the distance: "I am Wu~~ Wei Yang."
This is the cry of the Rishengchang escort team. The escort team, which was originally from the escort agency, has retained this tradition. As for the number "101" on the car, it is the unique symbol of the escort team. Rishengchang's 101 escort team not only escorts
My own silver car is also entrusted to escort clients' important items. Except for not protecting personnel, the business scope is very close to that of a regular escort agency. All escorts and escorts have been strictly trained and have superb martial arts skills to deal with emergencies.
Their ability to handle incidents was also very strong, and their relationship with the government had always been good, so ordinary thieves did not dare to attack them. There were once unconvinced bandits who tried to rob the 101 escort team, but in the end the entire army was destroyed and the cottage was even destroyed.
All the belongings accumulated over the years were folded in. Without the participation of state violence agencies, it would be difficult for ordinary armed forces to quickly deal with the escort team.
The escort team sent from Hefei this time is the best of the best. The 200 people are all strong men in their twenties and thirties. Their weapons are swords, bows and crossbows specially made at the Liguo Iron Works, and the clothes they usually wear are also made of specially made money.
Wearing brocade robes, these tough and neat young men now look greatly changed. They are all covered in blood and traces of fire, but there is still a kind of heroic spirit that is difficult to conceal in their eyebrows.
No one spoke, and the people in the street watched silently as the carriages of the 101 escort team drove through the stone-paved avenue and came to the gate of the ticket office. The carriages were lined up in a row, and the escorts drove the people away, forming a
As soon as there was a large open space, several people stood behind each carriage. They untied the carriage and lifted it hard. The silver ingots in the entire carriage rolled to the ground. A total of one million taels, which is equivalent to fifty tons of huge and brand-new filament spindles.
The silver ingots were unloaded onto the ground. The ocean of silver ingots covered up the afterglow of the evening sun. The silver light in front of Rishengchang Gate shone, which was breathtaking. The people were so shocked that they could not close their mouths. How could anyone dare to question the ticket number?
Payment ability.
Inside the ticket number, the guard captain knelt on the ground and reported to Hu Yimin with tears in his eyes: "
Great shopkeeper, Team A of the Hefei Escort Corps is fortunate to have fulfilled its mission, and hereby returns to you. There are only seventy-eight of the two hundred brothers left, but not even a tael of silver is missing! The subordinates took it upon themselves to dump the money at the gate of the ticket office, just for the sake of it.
The spirit in heaven comforting the brothers, please be considerate of the great shopkeeper!"
"Okay! Brothers' sacrifice is worth it. You have saved Ri Shengchang! It's time to show these ordinary people the strength of our bank. You can go down and have a rest."
Shopkeeper Hu wouldn't care about the way the escort team members vented their emotions. Even she herself wanted to vent her emotions and relieve the emotions she had been holding in for a day. The ocean formed by fifty tons of silver ingots at the entrance of the ticket office was exactly what she wanted.
need.
It turned out that after the escort team set off from Hefei, they encountered an ambush on the way. A section of the railway was demolished and a blazing fire was set off. Thousands of bandits were killed on both sides of the road. They seemed to know that the carriage contained a huge amount of silver, so
The desperate charge was thanks to the fact that Team A was equipped with fifty trumpet-mouthed muskets donated by Liu Ziguang, which were particularly effective against enemies charging in groups at close range. However, after all, there was a huge disparity in the number of people on both sides. After running out of bullets, Team A took out cold guns.
The weapons and the bandits fought hand-to-hand. After a bloody battle, the bandits were unable to continue and could only flee. The escort team removed the railroad tracks at the back and laid them in front, and continued moving forward. Only then did they arrive in the capital, where they loaded up the money to pick up the train.
The carriage rushed to the ticket office non-stop, and then the scene just happened.
The run was finally resolved in the evening. The common people were impressed by Rishengchang's strength. Although the redemption window of the ticket number was open all night, not many people went to exchange money. Everyone went home and went to sleep peacefully.
, waiting in line tomorrow to deposit the money back into the ticket number to earn interest.
Some sneaky figures also left unwillingly. These people had exchanged counterfeit banknotes many times and had been targeted by Nanchang for a long time. The steward of the Duke's Mansion, who was frightened by the mastiff, had already
He confessed obediently that all the counterfeit banknotes were given to him by the British prince Zhang Jun. Some time ago, a northern opera troupe came to the house. The prince treated them as honored guests and entertained them with delicious food and drinks. I heard that it was the young prince.
I have fallen in love with a Xiaodan in their troupe, but these people don't sing much, and they are sneaky all day long and don't know what to do.
Although it was already night, the detectives still rushed out to arrest the troublemakers who had been targeted for a long time, and went straight to the British government, trying to uncover the source of the counterfeit money tonight.
Most of those troublemakers are unscrupulous gangsters, and it is not difficult to arrest them. The British government is not so easy to enter. The red lanterns that stay lit all night at the door, the door with red lacquer and copper nails, and the plaque with gold characters on the black ground all show that
Showing the glory of the Duke's mansion, 200 Nanchang fans and 500 soldiers from the Wucheng Army surrounded the mansion, with dazzling lanterns and torches, menacing swords, guns and fire, and a dazzling arc lamp was raised high.
On a high bamboo pole, paper tubes were used to gather the lights into a stream of light, which shined directly into the Duke's Mansion.
Before the fans could knock on the door, the door of the British Duke's mansion opened. An old lady in formal clothes appeared at the door surrounded by many maids and servants. Two tall warriors held something covered with red silk.
Standing behind the madam, you don't need to guess that it is their family's amulet and iron scroll.
The old lady is the mother-in-law of Duke Wei. It stands to reason that Liu Ziguang should sell face to Xu Zengshou, but the nature of this matter is too serious. It may involve treason, and both the person and the person who took the stolen goods will have no denying.
It was possible, so Liu Ziguang boldly led troops to surround the mansion. Of course, he still reported the matter to Wei Guogong to avoid embarrassment to everyone in the future.
The real effectiveness of the Iron Scroll of the Alchemy Book is the same as that of Shang Fang's sword. In fact, it is not as powerful as what is advertised in the playbook. If the powerful people in the court don't like you, it will be useless to have the Iron Scroll of the Alchemy Book. What should be done?
It's a solid case, Shang Fang's sword isn't really something that anyone can kill, it's strength that determines everything.
So Liu Ziguang was ready to break into the British government regardless of the iron scroll.
