Xia and Shang had always been worried about the Miao Village.
When he left Chengdu, he already knew that the Chunfangsi group headed by Jinniang might be the first to take action against the Miaojiang ancient village. At the request of Chunjiao, Xia Shang did not continue to interfere in matters in Chengdu. But this incident
Xia Shang has been looking forward to Chunjiao's answer to the outcome of the matter.
Chunjiao's expression was a little heavy, while Miao Keke lowered her head, and her hands on the table were clasped tightly together without knowing when.
It seems that the situation in the Miao Village is not optimistic, and coupled with Chunjiao's previous words, there is no need to ask in detail what the result will be.
Neither woman spoke, but Xia Shang still asked: "Where is Xian'er? Is there any news about her?"
"Miss Xian'er is fine. She didn't see anyone else when she returned to Miao territory. However, with Miao Keke's voodoo skills, she found the most virtuous and respected wizard of the Miao people. Miss Xian'er continued to study beside her. They had escaped beforehand.
We’ve arrived at a safe place, but we won’t be able to return for a short period of time.”
The result was what Xia Shang had expected, because he believed in Xian'er's skill and vigilance. But after hearing it with his own ears, Xia Shang breathed a long sigh of relief.
Looking at Miao Keke's dull look, Xia Shang knew that the incident in Miao Village had dealt a heavy blow to her.
As early as in Chengdu, Miao Keke had already expressed her attitude. Because of what the old party of the Chunfang Division did to the old Miao village, she wanted to join the New Capital Procuratorate to seek justice for her family.
But now, she was alone, and she was even more determined, and at the same time full of hatred for Jin Niang's family.
For Xia and Shang, this may be a good thing, but such a good thing stone really makes people unhappy.
"Okay, now that things have happened, everything is proceeding according to the original plan. You know more about Jin Niang, so you can track down Jin Niang in the capital for now. And about the love Gu, don't make it public.
I should know more about it, and if there are other ways to relieve it, I can try it. You don’t have to worry so much. For now, as long as I don’t touch women, I won’t cause any discomfort. "
"Sir, can you bear it?"
Chunjiao's irrelevant words made Xia Shang feel a little embarrassed. He coughed twice and waved to indicate that they could go out.
Xia Shang has been recuperating for the next few days. After all, after returning from the hell gate, it is necessary for me to recuperate my body.
At the same time, Fenghui Bank's money began to be allocated, and all the money would be secretly transferred away by people from Prince Yong's Mansion. No one knew where it ended up.
However, a huge amount of one million taels of silver cannot be dispatched in a day or two. For Xia Shang's money, Fenghui Bank has been very busy recently.
In these peaceful days, in the tea shops on the streets, the content of the guests' conversations gradually changed. It was no longer the overt and secret fights between several princes, nor the partisanship in the court. They actually talked about the weather and
Fenghui Bank’s money.
The weather is obvious to all, and the snow this year is really strange. In previous years, we have never seen heavy snow cover the sky in early November, but this year it is snowing constantly, and heavy snow has already happened twice. It is so cold that the clothes of people in the capital are getting thicker and thicker.
Now that the coldest season has not yet arrived, I already wear more clothes than in previous years.
In this kind of weather, it's okay for people with clothes to wear, but the beggars living on the streets are suffering from freezing to death every day. The patrol policemen in the capital are also complaining endlessly, cleaning up dead people every day, and their bodies are full of odor.
Intense bad luck.
Not only beggars, but also ordinary people's homes often freeze to death. Life is not easy these days. The rich families are prosperous and have no worries about food and clothing, but the poor families mostly live without a meal. The weather is weird this year.
It directly killed many poor people.
Everyone in the capital is having a hard time, let alone those outside the capital.
The plague that broke out in Bashu in the summer did not cause devastating harm, but many victims from barren states appeared, and the lives of those people were even worse.
I came to the capital and wanted to seek asylum, but I didn't expect that I couldn't even enter the capital, so I had to hang out in the villages and towns around the capital. Although the court prevented the construction of temporary residences for the victims, they were only temporary measures and could not solve the fundamental problem.
Seeing the dissatisfaction of the victims outside the city growing day by day, the sudden strange weather directly triggered quite a riot.
As a result, it was suppressed by the imperial court and news was blocked.
But there is no airtight wall in the world. Some people say that tens of thousands of victims outside froze to death, and three to five thousand were killed by the imperial army. There were mountains of corpses under the snow outside the capital.
This year has been difficult, and everyone has a heavy burden on their hearts.
The news gradually spread in the capital, and I don't know who said that the weather was not simple, and it might indicate a change in Dahua's fortune.
I thought this statement was untenable, but some people still believed it. The result became more and more mysterious. It was also connected with the floods last year and the transition of imperial power. Thinking about it, everything seems to be foreshadowing something.
.
The weather is the most talked about thing among people. Besides the weather, the other thing is about Fenghui Bank.
I don’t know who said that Fenghui Bank was about to die, saying that all the bank’s money had been lost by the bank’s boss.
This matter was originally a joke. Who in Dahua doesn’t know that Fenghui Bank is the largest bank in the world? How could Fenghui Bank have no money? I haven’t heard that even the imperial court owes Fenghui Bank a lot.
Where is the silver!
But some people also said that Liao Baican, the bank boss, liked to gamble and lost hundreds of millions of money.
Others said it was because the boss’s second wife ran away with the money.
Some people even said that the imperial court did not have enough military expenses and forced the bank to provide the money. Because at this time, they had a bad relationship with the imperial court and were robbed by the imperial court.
There are all kinds of rumors circulating in the market, some are reliable and some are not, and I don’t know whether they are true or false.
But this is something that everyone has noticed. Fenghui Bank has been extremely busy recently. Everyone is busy at all levels, and no one knows what they are busy with.
This incident was far less noticeable than the weather enchantment, but the day before yesterday someone went to Fenghui Bank to withdraw money and failed, and the news was immediately learned by people in the capital.
I took the banknote to the bank to exchange for silver but it didn't change. It was said that the bank had difficulty with capital turnover recently and asked the person who wanted to withdraw the money to wait a moment.
As soon as this news came out, Fenghui Bank immediately became aware of its financial difficulties.
Then someone else said that everyone should hurry up and withdraw money now. Fenghui Bank can still exchange small bills for money, but there is no guarantee that they will be useful after a period of time.
People would rather believe what they have than what they have not. Regardless of whether it is true or not, they always feel that the money from Fenghui Bank at home is not safe, so they rush to Fenghui Bank to withdraw money.
This matter became more and more serious. Today, Xia Shang took a whole room of people to a restaurant for dinner. When paying the bill, the store would not accept the banknotes from Fenghui Bank. (To be continued)
