Under everyone's gaze, Xu Jingye walked out of the carriage calmly.
He looked around with a calm expression, and finally his eyes fell on Shangguan Wuji. He stepped forward and stretched out his hand and said, "Sir, there is no need to be polite. Xu is guarding Lingyang by His Majesty's will. From now on, I will have to rely on Shangguan and everyone."
support!"
Shangguan Wuji's breath suddenly hitched.
As the saying goes, those who come are not good, and those who are good will not come. Xu Jingye, as a great scholar of the imperial censor of the dynasty, is definitely not a simple person. He wanted to give the other party a show of authority, but in the end, he gave the other party a chance to establish his authority. He defeated him with just one sentence.
Put in the position of ministers.
However, Shangguan Wuji was not an idle character, otherwise he would not have been sitting in the position of Lingyang City Guards for ten years. He immediately smiled and said: "Master Xu, you are serious, please move to Yuanfeng Tower, we will have a banquet."
Take care of the wind and wash away the dust for the adults!”
"You're welcome!"
How could Xu Jingye allow himself to be manipulated by Shangguan Wuji? He refused without hesitation: "I'm very tired. We'll discuss the matter tomorrow!"
He really didn't give me any face, and even implicitly accused Shangguan Wuji of being ignorant.
No matter how deep Shangguan Wuji's palace is, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes when he heard such an answer. He saluted again and said, "I apologize for not thinking carefully. The mansion has been tidied up. Please come in and rest!"
Xu Jingye ignored him, turned to Qin Yun and smiled: "Little friend, thank you for escorting me all the way. I won't keep you here, but if you have anything to do in the future, feel free to come to me!"
Qin Yun nodded with a smile. He understood that this was not because Xu Jingye had crossed the river to destroy the bridge and turned his back on others, but because he was unwilling to drag himself into the muddy waters of Lingyang officialdom. After all, the path he took was different from that of the other party.
Shangguan Wuji's eyes flashed and he asked: "Who is this?"
"I am Qin Yun, Sword Sect of Tiancheng!" Qin Yun sat firmly on the horse and casually clasped his fists and replied: "Master Xu and I have been friends for many years, but I have something to do today, so I'll take my leave first!"
Tiancheng Sword Sect!
Shangguan Wuji's eyes suddenly shrank. Xu Jingye and his family were relegated to Lingyang. Of course, he had no sense of awe, but after all, the other party represented the Yan imperial power and should not be treated lightly.
If it also gets involved with the Tiancheng Sword Sect, it will undoubtedly be even more difficult!
With Xu Jingye's great reputation in Dayan, it is not surprising that the Tiancheng Sword Sect would send one or two disciples to protect him.
Qin Yun did not look at Shangguan Wuji's uncertain face, saluted Xu Jingye again, then turned his horse and ran towards the end of the long street, disappearing from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
Qin Yun was not worried that Xu Jingye would be in any danger. The other party had told him on the way that Lingyang City was currently controlled by the so-called Seven Families headed by the Shangguan clan, and they would definitely not welcome him who was sent from Yanjing.
The new city guard.
However, the Seven Families were just local tycoons. They dared to send people to intercept Xu Jingye in the middle, but they absolutely did not dare to murder Xu Jingye in Lingyang City. On the contrary, they had to protect Xu Jingye's safety.
Because once something happens to Xu Jingye, all officials in Lingyang City who are closely related to the Seven Families will be closely connected. Dayan can use this as an excuse to clean up Lingyang.
Emperor Longwu didn't even need to send people directly to take action. He only needed to issue decrees to several princes and counties near Jingnan. I believe those princes would be happy to expand their power and take over the wealth of the seven families.
Qin Yun felt that there was something else that Xu Jingye might not be comfortable saying. The reason why the wise and powerful emperor did not give Xu Jingye a guard of honor was probably because he wanted the powerful people in Lingyang to help him kill the censor Yanguan who often made him unhappy.
, and then in turn wipe out these powerful people, it is definitely killing two birds with one stone!
Therefore, Xu Jingye will be fine in Lingyang for the time being. As for the future development of the situation, it is not something Qin Yun can take into account and interfere with. If it were not for the right time, he would not get involved at all.
Turning around the intersection, you will see the bustling main street in front of you.
Qin Yun jumped off the horse and led the black horse slowly forward on the street.
He was in no hurry to go to Shui's house, he planned to get familiar with Lingyang City first and buy a gift along the way.
The current head of the Shui family, Shui Mingdong, is Shui Wanning's father. According to his seniority, Qin Yun should call him his master. How could he come to visit with nothing for the first time, even if he brought items that Shui Wanning wanted to send to the Shui family.
Although Lingyang City is located at the southernmost point of Dayan, it guards the main route from south to north and has the convenience of waterways. Therefore, the shops in the city have a very rich variety of goods, which looks dazzling.
Fragrant rice and salt from the south, silk porcelain, fur and medicinal materials from the north, and fine iron weapons are all available. Customers come and go in various shops, and the trade prosperity is no less than that of big cities such as Qianchao.
Qin Yun looked along and suddenly stopped at the door of a trading house.
The five-story building stands out among the surrounding buildings. The dozens of feet wide facade, the thick lacquered red pillars, and the fierce and elite warrior guards in front of the door all show the scale and strength of this business.
On the porch of the main entrance, there is a huge plaque inlaid with gold on a black background, with the four characters "Kiuzhou Trading Company" shining brightly and eye-catchingly.
Kyushu Commercial Bank is a well-known large commercial bank in the vast continent. It is said that its business covers all parts of Kyushu. Its strength and capital are unfathomable. The gold certificates and silver notes issued by its Jiuzhou Bank are used throughout the continent.
It is not unusual for Jiuzhou Trading Company to have a branch in Lingyang City, but Qin Yun paid attention to it for another reason.
After thinking for a moment, he tied the black horse to the standing stake at the corner of the street and stepped into the gate.
The hall inside was spacious and luxuriously decorated. Although there were not many guests, they all seemed to be rich or noble. As soon as Qin Yun walked in, an old man in gray robes immediately came to greet him.
"Guest, do you need anything?" The old man said with a smile: "I am Zhong Sunhan, the manager of the commercial bank, and I am happy to serve you!"
With such thoughtful and enthusiastic service, if you don't have some strength, you will be embarrassed to pass the high threshold behind.
Qin Yun smiled, reached out and took out a metal plaque from his arms and handed it over.
This metal plate is only half the size of a palm, but it is nearly half an inch thick. It is very heavy and has countless fine runes engraved on the surface. Right above it is inlaid with a bright red gemstone, which is as red as blood. In the middle
The four characters "Jiuzhou Trading Company" engraved on it are exactly the same as the plaque in front of the door.
Seeing this metal plate, Zhongsun Han's expression suddenly changed, and his straight waist immediately bent down, and he said respectfully: "It turns out that this is a distinguished guest. Please come to the back room to talk."
Qin Yun's heart moved, he nodded and followed the old man inside.
There is a cave behind the hall, and through the corridor are rows of houses with beautiful scenery. There is even a rockery flower pond in the middle. It is a quiet and elegant environment amidst the bustle.
Zhongsun Han led Qin Yun into one of the elegant houses.
After sitting down, the pretty maid served hot fragrant tea. There was also a beautiful copper stove placed in the corner of the room. The charcoal inside was burning brightly, making the whole room warm as spring and very comfortable.
Zhongsun Han invited Qin Yun to drink fragrant tea, and then asked respectfully: "Guest, do you need to withdraw cash or banknotes?"
Qin Yun put down the tea cup and asked: "If I want to withdraw, how much can I withdraw?"
Zhongsun Han rubbed his hands and replied: "You also know that with this supreme card, you can withdraw millions of silver. If you want a banknote, we can issue it. If you want cash, the current ticket number can only withdraw up to
Three hundred thousand, please forgive me!"
Withdraw millions of dollars!
Qin Yun never expected that the metal plate in his hand would be so valuable!
This metal plate was accidentally picked up by Qin Yun from the rubble that night after killing Tu Wanxiong. It should have been something that the old demon had carried with him before his death, but it was not damaged by the sword energy.
At that time, he felt that this thing must be very unusual, so he kept it with him. Today he saw Jiuzhou Trading Company, so he came in specifically to ask what its purpose was, because the emblem of the trading company was written on the card.
But the result of the test left Qin Yun completely speechless!
One million taels of silver! The wealth of an ordinary wealthy family is no more than this. If it is piled up, it is like a mountain of silver!
Although he was shocked and surprised, Qin Yun believed that the other party was definitely not talking nonsense. It was normal for a trading company to use tokens to withdraw goods and money. From what the other party meant, it seemed that as long as he had this brand, he could withdraw money.
Tu Wanxiong has been famous for more than 20 years and has repeatedly committed major murders. Unlike White Snake, he has a large group of subordinates to support, so it is not surprising that he has accumulated millions of wealth.
I'm afraid this bloodthirsty old devil would never have imagined in his wildest dreams that all the wealth he had worked so hard to save would end up being advantageous to others.
Qin Yun thought and 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 raise money, Zhongsun Han breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, the Lingyang branch is not the main account, and the stock of cash is limited. Although it is more than 300,000, if so much is withdrawn at once, it will inevitably be stretched. Even though it is better to issue a banknote, it cannot withstand the exchange by others.
As for spending money to buy things, he is naturally very welcome: "I don't know what your distinguished guest needs. I am not boasting. As long as it is something in Lingyang City, our firm will definitely be able to help you get it!"
Qin Yun smiled and said: "It's not a big deal. I'm just going to visit an elder and want to prepare a suitable gift. I wonder if you can help me think about it?"
He entered Jiuzhou Commercial Bank mainly because he wanted to know the origin of the metal plate in hand. Now that he had found out clearly, buying gifts was just a matter of course. Since the other party could pat his chest, there was no need to run around.
Regarding Qin Yun's request, Zhong Sunhan didn't feel any embarrassment at all and said immediately: "That's easy! The store has recently acquired several new treasures from Xiaoyingzhou. I think it is definitely suitable as a gift to honor the elders!"
