The World of Martial Arts

Chapter 199 The Misfortune of the Bank
Xu Zhengping had vaguely guessed what medicinal material it was, and asked with a frown, "But Black Jade Ointment?"

Ping Yizhi was a little surprised, "There are not many people in the world who know about this magical medicine, but you do know a little bit."

"Then I have to go to the Vajra Gate to ask for it."

There is no Shaolin in the Western Regions in this world, but there is a Vajra Gate, which is located in the northwest desert, within the territory of Mongolia and Yuan.

It was also created by Shaolin Fireworker Toutuo back then.

Twirling his beard with one finger, Ping said: "This medicine is mysterious, the old man accidentally obtained a fingernail size from a wounded person.

It has been studied secretly, but due to too little material, only two main ingredients have been found out.

If you can find a whole box of Black Jade Intermittent Ointment, not to mention curing the Madam, the old man will give you another big gift. "

Xu Zhengping wrote down what Ping Yizhi said, got up and planned to leave with Lian Xing first.

When he reached the door, he turned his head and warned: "Don't tell others that I have been here, your Excellency should know the consequences."

Ping Yizhi didn't care, "How much do you plan to spend?"

Xu Zhengping threw down a 5000 tael bank note, which said Nanshan money order, but it came from a bank run by the Nanshan Gang.

Today, because of their connections in the underworld, the banks of the Nanshan Gang have spread from the south to the north, covering important cities in various provinces. They have come from behind and become the most powerful competitor of the largest bank in Ming Dynasty, the Four Seas Bank.

Ping Yizhi's eyes shined, 5000 taels is not a small amount, and he only charges so much money for dealing with some extremely difficult and complicated diseases on weekdays.

But when he saw that it was a Nanshan money order, he shook his head in disdain.

"It's better for you to come from the Four Seas Bank."

Xu Zhengping frowned, "Nanshan Bank is no worse than Sihai Bank. There is a branch in Luoyang City nearby. You can get the money you want from it, and you will never be short of a penny."

Ping Yizhi sneered and said, "Mr. Xu is a newcomer, isn't it true that your Nanshan gang didn't even tell you about this?"

Xu Zhengping and Lian Xing looked at each other, feeling very surprised.

He hurriedly asked: "Xu has just come here not long ago, please tell me clearly, sir."

Ping Yi pointed out: "Last month, your Nanshan bank caught fire, and I heard that Ku Yin was burned.

As a result, panic arose the next day, and many people went to run the bank, but the bank really couldn't produce such a huge amount of gold and silver.

It was looted again, and now the Nanshan Bank in Luoyang is already dilapidated, and the matter should have been informed to your gang. "

Xu Zhengping has not been in the gang for the past few months, and such matters are usually handled by the core members of the gang.

Generally, Xu Zhengping would only see these things in the monthly report that did not involve life and death, and under normal circumstances, even if he saw them, he would not care much about them.

Now that I met him in person, I can't ignore it.

So he threw down another 1000 taels of silver notes from the Bank of the World, and left Ping Yizhi first.

After going out, Lianxing said: "How about going to Luoyang to deal with this matter first?"

Xu Zhengping said: "Luoyang City is also the sphere of influence of the Twelve Feipeng Gang, King Wanpeng is not that kind of wimp.

Someone dared to attack our bank under the nose of King Wanpeng, and King Wanpeng didn't seem to pursue it, so I had to ask him about the situation first.

Lianxing, you still act according to the original plan, I will handle this matter, and Tianzun must not let it go. "

Lian Xing nodded and said: "Be careful, although your martial arts are now rare in the northern and southern martial arts, but you also know that life and death in the world are never judged by martial arts."

Xu Zhengping smiled and said, "These are all words I taught you, how could I forget them myself."

The two parted temporarily, Lianxing went south, Xu Zhengping went north.

After Xu Zhengping came to Luoyang, he did not hide his whereabouts, and he did not go directly to his own bank.

I believe that after this incident, the bank must no longer be open, and the deposits in it should have been looted.

The lost floating wealth is a trivial matter, the key is that this matter will definitely bring a great blow to the reputation of his Nanshan Bank.

That is to say, in this era, the flow of information is not smooth. If it is a future generation, I am afraid that banks all over the country will suffer from a run.

However, Luoyang is not an ordinary small city like a state capital in the Ming Dynasty. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Luoyang City was seriously considered as the location of the capital.

Therefore, both politically and economically, Luoyang is the most influential city in the Central Plains, and it is even more important in the entire Ming Dynasty.

This incident happened in Luoyang, and it will inevitably spread with the flow of merchants in Luoyang. The merchants here are not ordinary people.

Ordinary people's withdrawals and livelihoods in Nanshan Bank will not be greatly affected, but large merchants will definitely have scruples about depositing and withdrawing gold and silver, thus losing many large customers, making it difficult for banks around the world to do business.

Judging from the subsequent impact of this matter and Xu Zhengping's ultimate beneficiary, he suspects that the matter of the Luoyang Bank may have something to do with the Universal Bank!
Because the rise of the Nanshan Bank has gradually affected the interests of the Four Seas Bank, if the Nanshan Bank collapses, all the empty market share will be taken away by the Four Seas Bank.

However, since the incident happened on the territory of the Twelve Feipeng Gang, the two parties had an agreement, and the business of the Nanshan Gang would be protected by the Twelve Feipeng Gang.

But the Four Seas Bank can still ignore the Twelve Feipeng Gang, and still carry out such murderous actions, which shows that its power must be very powerful after being arrested.

The Four Seas Bank is an existence that Xu Zhengping has heard of since he could remember. It is said that it has been established for a hundred years. Almost every city in Ming Dynasty has branches. It can be called the largest private bank in Ming Dynasty.

Its influence has even spread outside the region, with branches in Manchu, Mongolian, Yuan, Song and even Jin and Daliao.

It must be no small matter to be able to arrange such a powerful person in a hundred years!
Even Xu Zhengping had to act cautiously and not take it lightly, because he suspected that this bank was not even made by a single power.

Just like the Federal Reserve in his era, although it was also a private bank, the consortium behind it was a dark cloud. Ordinary people can't even try to see through it. I'm afraid the president may not be able to figure out the complicated relationships inside.

Xu Zhengping thought for a moment, and instead of going directly to the Four Seas Bank, he went straight to the entrance of the Twelve Feipeng Gang.

He intends to inquire about some situations through King Wanpeng, and then decide how to do it.

The head of Luoyang's Twelve Flying Pengs helped welcome Xu Zhengping into the hall politely. Although he was aware of the several shocking and vicious things Xu Zhengping had done in the Jianghu recently, he didn't dare to show any strangeness.

It is very normal for the underworld overlord to do such a thing, and no one can punish such a person anyway.

The hall master's surname is Hei, and his nickname is Heiyu. He originated from the local Luoshui gang and relies on Luoshui water management for a living.

Later, he was annexed by the Twelve Feipeng Gang and became the local hall master, and the underworld forces in Luoyang were under his control.

Although he has changed from a gang leader to a hall leader, his authority is greater than before, so he cherishes and is very loyal.

Although Xu Zhengping didn't say a word, Heiyu already knew his purpose.
