As the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, they committed theft and misappropriated the treasury money, resulting in a huge deficit. This is an outright beheading crime. The current situation is that Daluo Jinxian cannot save them even if he comes to earth. The only way out is to admit defeat and admit defeat.
It depends on how much loss can be compensated.
That night, Zhang Fulin rushed to Shanghai by train. He treated a dead horse as a live doctor, and the Securities Regulatory Commission's Yamen Tisi himself might be able to boost some popularity and allow the stock price to rise slightly without causing too much loss.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhang received a burst of boos when he stood on the exchange. Everyone had long been dissatisfied with him as the Securities Regulatory Commission, so when he delivered a speech sincerely and encouraged everyone to invest enthusiastically, ushered in
But there are only pairs of blank eyes and sales orders.
The stock price continued to plummet, and there were almost no buy orders on the market, except for the huge sell order placed on the 18th and 88th, which was written on the price board. Zhang Fulin shyly asked to see Peng Jingrong and Hu Yimin, but was rejected.
, although he is the boss of the exchange, and is nominally under the business leadership of the Securities Regulatory Office, but he is also a dignified wife, and his rank is much higher than that of Zhang Fulin, who is a third-grade official. There is nothing we can do if we don't dump him.
Zhang Fulin immediately understood everything when he saw this posture. Who is the shopkeeper Hu? Before Huang Xiaotian came to power, the Ministry of Finance was held in someone else's hands. How much money the Ministry of Finance has cannot be estimated at a glance. Now they are deliberately suppressing it.
The stock price just wants to seal 10 million treasuries here, so that when the incident happens, the court can chop off their heads.
"You want to kill me!" Zhang Fulin's back was still soaked with cold sweat on such a cold day. He begged for mercy and was willing to leave half of his money to deal with the errands for three days to save his life.
However, the two ladies did not see him at all. The concierge threw out the name of the dignified third-rank minister of household affairs when he handed it over.
Zhang Fulin had no choice but to send a letter to Huang Xiaotian, asking him to come forward and ask Zhenwuhou to open the door. Huang Xiaotian hesitated all night after receiving the letter, and finally knocked on the door of Zhenwuhou Mansion.
Huang Xiaotian is the political enemy of Marquis Zhenwu. He has always been tit-for-tat in the court, but now he condescends to pay a visit. The Marquis, who has been idle at home, is very surprised. He serves tea in the West Flower Hall to receive Huang Shangshu.
After meeting, Huang Xiaotian did not exchange greetings. He lifted his robe and knelt down: "Master Hou, help me!"
Liu Ziguang was shocked: "Master Huang, why is this? You have killed me, get up, get up." He tried to persuade him, but he sat on the chair and did not move at all.
Huang Xiaotian's voice was full of tears: "Master Marquis, please consider saving this official's life out of the friendship of serving as an official in the same dynasty. In the next life, this official will definitely repay each other with a ring made of grass."
Liu Ziguang waved his hand to avoid the servants in the hall, and then said: "Sir Huang, although you and I are ministers in the same palace, we don't seem to have any friendship, right? You have been at odds with me several times, and today you came here to sing this song again,
You are just entertaining me, right?"
Huang Xiaotian kowtowed loudly: "Master Hou, you don't care about the faults of others. In the past, I had no choice but to oppose you. The people in Donglin have always had problems with you, and you know this. No matter what happens this time
Please give me your noble hands and put down your official position to find a way out. There is an eighty-year-old mother above me and a child suckling at the bottom. The only thing between life and death depends on the words of the Marquis."
Liu Ziguang said: "I don't understand what you are saying. You have always been your minister, why are you suddenly desperate for life and death and have something to do with me?"
Huang Xiaotian clenched his fists as if he had made great determination, and said sadly: "To be honest with you, Mr. Hou, the recent stock market crash was all caused by Zhang Fulin. He also encouraged me to borrow hundreds of millions from friends and colleagues.
Wan Yinzi was making trouble in Shanghai, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, but something unexpected happened. The stock price actually collapsed and could not be raised again. Several million taels of silver were staked there and lost everything. Although Xia Guan had some wealth, it was difficult for him to do so.
To compensate, now we can only ask the Marquis to come forward and let Madam Hu and Shopkeeper Hu help the market to save the official from life and death."
Liu Ziguang said with a smile: "It turned out that Mr. Huang was trapped in the stock market. It's really funny. The man who played with the hawk was actually pecked in the eye by the hawk. Who can believe this? But even if you lose, it won't be fatal, right? Tangtang Hubu
The Minister doesn’t show any concern at all? Isn’t it just a few million taels of silver? If you insist on not paying it back, they will eat you alive.”
Huang Xiaotian was speechless and Qiqi Ai didn't know what to say. Liu Ziguang saw this and sneered: "The person who lent you the money is probably the current emperor. And you just used it without even writing an IOU. It's not a mere matter."
Several million taels, but ten million taels!"
Huang Xiaotian felt like he was struck by lightning when he heard this. He originally had some luck, hoping that if Liu Ziguang didn't know about the matter, the price he would pay would be smaller. However, seeing this attitude, others already knew it, so he stopped hiding it and went on to
He kowtowed and said, "Master Hou is aware that Xiaguan has indeed misappropriated 10 million taels of silver. I wanted to profit from it, but I didn't expect to be trapped in it. The court will use the money in three days. Once the matter is exposed, Xiaguan's whole family will be affected."
Everyone will suffer, and the only one who can save Xianguan right now is you, the Marquis. As long as the Marquis agrees to support the market and let Xiaguan liquidate the stocks to make up for the shortfall, Xiaguan will agree to whatever conditions the Marquis offers."
Liu Ziguang said: "I have long guessed that you guys are responsible for this. Hmm, you want to profit from it. You are trying to profit from my pocket. To tell you the truth, my wife and shopkeeper Hu are very angry.
, claiming that I won’t stop until I strip you of your skin. It’s normal for women to be petty. As the head of the house, I have to let her go sometimes. Let’s do this. I’ll make peace with you later and let them pay for you.
All the stocks in hand have been taken over, and I won’t take advantage of you. Didn’t you misappropriate 10 million taels of treasury silver? I’ll give you 8 million taels. You can raise more money yourself and seal the hole first to save your life.
"
Huang Xiaotian complained endlessly. He spent a total of 15 million taels of silver to buy stocks and could only get back 8 million. The hole in the treasury was blocked, but most of his net worth and the money he raised from various sources were lost.
The water was gone, but the price they paid was already pretty good. I didn’t dare to bargain anymore, so I could only kowtow and thank you: “Thank you, Mr. Marquis, for saving my life.”
Liu Ziguang then stood up and helped Huang Xiaotian up: "It's cold on the ground, Mr. Huang, it's better to sit down and talk."
Huang Xiaotian knelt for a while, and his legs were already numb due to fear. He was pulled up by Liu Ziguang and pushed down on the chair. He was still uneasy and didn't know what conditions Liu Ziguang would offer.
Liu Ziguang said: "I see that Mr. Huang is also a man of temperament. I want to make friends with Mr. Huang and work as an official for thousands of miles, just for the sake of making money. We all have the same goal. We will wipe out any conflicts we had in the past. From now on
From now on, Master Huang will be my friend. When we have wealth, we will make it together, and when we have difficulties, we will share our responsibility. I wonder if Brother Huang is willing to give me this honor."
There was something in Liu Ziguang's words. He was trying to make friends, but in fact he was trying to draw Huang Xiaotian into his camp. Huang Xiaotian suddenly became embarrassed. He was considered an important member of the Donglin Party. How could he defect so easily?
Seeing Huang Xiaotian's slight hesitation, Liu Ziguang said angrily: "If Mr. Huang is in trouble, just pretend that I didn't say anything and just see him off."
Huang Xiaotian hurriedly said: "That's not what I mean by the official. The Marquis has given me life-saving grace, and my kindness has been rekindled. How can I be qualified to call him my brother? Since the Marquis has this intention, I will be disrespectful. From now on, I will be disrespectful."
We are just people in the same boat, and everything in water or fire depends on what the Marquis says."
Liu Ziguang thought to himself that this was not a second-rank official of the imperial court, he was simply a gangster showing his loyalty. Of course he said politely: "That's great. We will be a family from now on. By the way, there are a few small things that I still want to trouble."
Brother Huang."
Huang Xiaotian said: "Master Hou, it's okay to say it."
"This financial turmoil has made people angry, and someone has to step in to take the blame. I think Zhang Fulin can take on this important task. I will recommend the candidate for the next Securities Regulatory Commission."
"The Marquis and Xiaguan thought of going together. Alas, if it weren't for this Fulin, Xiaguan wouldn't be in this situation. His black yarn will definitely be picked this time. What about other things?"
"I am very interested in meeting that expert who has been advising you behind the scenes."
"Your Majesty, please write down the address now, and the Marquis will just send someone to pick it up."
"I would also like to ask Brother Huang to report any future developments in Donglin."
"This... Lord Marquis, don't worry. As long as your subordinates know about it, they will definitely tell you everything."
The meeting finally ended in a pleasant and cordial atmosphere. Huang Xiaotian, the Minister of Revenue, officially boarded the pirate ship of Zhen Wuhou. Although there is no guarantee of betrayal in the future, cooperation in the near future is definitely impossible.
Liu Ziguang sent a telegram to Peng Jinrong as promised, asking her to spend 8 million taels of silver to purchase all the stocks in Seat No. 13. However, at this time, the cash in hand of Peng Jinrong and Hu Yimin was less than 1 million taels. Even with the addition of silver
The tickets were only six million taels, and there were still two million vacancies. I was worried when suddenly someone reported:
Someone sent money. When people came in and asked about it later, they found out that they were cargo ships from Tianjin and Lusong. They were all loaded with gold and silver. The ones from Tianjin were silver ingots from the treasury of the Beijing Gongrong Imperial Court, which amounted to one million.
Two, what came from the Song Dynasty was the money prepared by the royal family for Zhao Jiao to buy a hundred days of wine, a water of Mexican silver ocean and gold coins from the Song Dynasty, which was equivalent to one million Kuping silver in the Ming Dynasty, eight million taels was just right.
After the funds were in place, Seat No. 13 sold all the chips in his hand to Ri Shengchang and received 8 million taels in one go. Although he lost 7 million, he had almost replenished his treasury and was waiting for them.
As soon as the transaction ended, all the selling orders on the market disappeared and turned into a flood of buying orders. Investors knew that the wind had finally turned, so they actively traded. The price skyrocketed, but there was no market, because most of them had no market.
The bargaining chips were locked in the hands of Hu Yimin and Peng Jinrong, and the pricing power was also in their hands. The buying price kept rising but they couldn't buy the goods, so they could only continue to raise the price, and finally returned to the reasonable price range before the crash. Hu Yimin's
Only then began to slowly sell stocks to raise funds.
Affected by the recovery of the stock market, funds have also begun to reverse course. Although they will never return to ridiculously high prices like three to two or five cents, they will never see floor prices like twenty cents.
The nightmare is over, but Zhang Fulin's official career is also over. Several anonymous letters of report were sent to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, reporting that Zhang Fulin, the director of the Securities Regulatory Commission, had accepted bribes, faked shell companies for false listings, and manipulated the market to make huge profits. One piece of evidence after another
It is true that the Metropolitan Procuratorate had already communicated with the main hall of the Ministry of Household Affairs and immediately took over the case and arrested Zhang Fulin. Zhang Fulin committed suicide by hanging from a beam in the cell of the Metropolitan Procuratorate that night. Afterwards, two documents were confiscated from the Zhang family's simple house.
One hundred thousand taels of silver and five thousand taels of gold. When the news came out, the people all scolded this man for being duplicitous and greedy. Even the emperor was furious and ordered the case to be dealt with strictly. No one from the Zhang family was involved in the case. Male
After killing the girl, Zhang Fulin, the once-famous "upright official", was completely finished, but no one in the household department was implicated.
What is even more dramatic is that after the three-day deadline was up, the emperor never mentioned the Western Army's request for military expenses. It is said that the telegram was made by a translator who was born in Nanchang...
Liu Ziguang was very proud at home. Not only did he gain several million taels of benefits from this round of financial war, he also took advantage of Huang Xiaotian and brought the Ministry of Accounts and the Securities Regulatory Commission into his sphere of influence again. The only fly in the ointment was that there was no
