At daybreak, all the streets and alleys of Luoyang City suddenly had all kinds of rumors flying all over the sky, saying that Shengtai Bank was involved in wine making. The government has sent people to Shengtai Bank to arrest people, and the next step is to seize all Shengtai Banks.

Under the rumors and rumors, the people in the capital are unavoidably panic-stricken. No one knows whether the news is true or not, and those powerful and businessmen are even more worried. After all, they have a lot of real money in Shengtai Bank. If they were seized by the imperial court, the money they stored in the bank would be confiscated by the imperial court.

Soon, an even more shocking news came, that is, the Zhongdu Guantuli of Sili Xiaowei's Mansion actually surrounded the Shengtai Bank in Nanshi for unknown reasons.

This news is tantamount to throwing another boulder into the muddy water in the capital, and it seems to confirm the rumor that the government may really want to attack Shengtai Bank. What about Qianzhuang?

With the attitude of seeing is believing, many people and businessmen flocked to the Shengtai Bank in Nanshi with bank notes, and they saw a scene that made them desperate.

Hundreds of Zhongdu officials and apprentices have surrounded the entire Shengtai Bank, and they don't allow any idlers to get close.

Inside the bank, treasurer Bao and a group of assistants from Shengtai Bank were looking at the uninvited guests in a room full of panic, feeling uneasy in every possible way.

Especially shopkeeper Bao, Yang Dai, the son of the Yang family, suddenly ran over to find him in the middle of the night last night, saying that he had finally escaped and asked shopkeeper Bao to hide himself.

Shopkeeper Bao turned out to be a slave of the Yang family, and he was able to become the shopkeeper of this Shengtai bank thanks to the recommendation of the Yang family, so he knew better than anyone who he was helping. Now that the Yang family's children are in trouble, he naturally Not daring to sit idly by, he quickly hid Yang Dai in the backyard, thinking that he would go to the Yang Mansion in person to report a letter to the Yang family at dawn.

Unexpectedly, before he had time to report to the Yang family, people from Sili Xiaowei's mansion came uninvited at dawn, and surrounded their bank without saying a word, saying that they wanted to arrest the criminal Yang Dai.

Shopkeeper Bao regretted it now and it was too late. Although he didn't know why the people in Sili Xiaowei's Mansion knew that Yang Dai was hiding in their Shengtai Bank, but he knew that if these people really caught him in the backyard of the bank, he would Even if he has a long mouth all over his body, he can't tell clearly, and the whole bank will be implicated.

What he can do now is to try to hold these people back as much as possible, hoping that the Wei family or the Yang family will send someone to rescue them as soon as they hear the news, so as to relieve their urgent needs.

At this time, a carriage finally arrived outside the Qianzhuang, and Wei Tao rushed over in the carriage.

Ever since there were bad news about Shengtai Bank everywhere in the capital, he finally realized that Xiao Jie was looking into wine making on the surface, but his real target was the Shengtai Bank jointly established by the Guanzhong Family and the Heluo Family.

Although it is said that Shengtai Bank is only one of the properties of their big families, it is their most profitable business, because with the financial resources of their big families, many dignitaries and businessmen are willing to keep real money Shengtai Bank, each of their several aristocratic families can get a lot of money each year.

But now all kinds of news are very unfavorable to Shengtai Bank. Seeing that the situation is not good, many people have exchanged bank notes from Shengtai Bank for money. The cash of several shops is already in a hurry. If the situation is allowed to worsen , Shengtai Bank is completely over.

If something really happened to Shengtai Bank, although it would not be a fatal blow to their big families, it would still be a traumatic loss, and it would also affect other industries under their names , it was a severe blow to the reputation of several of them.

Because of this, Wei Tao had no choice but to come to Nanshi by himself, trying to see if he could rescue Shengtai Bank so as not to worsen the situation.

"Please ask, who is calling the shots here."

Wei Tao had always been proud and arrogant, but now he had to let go of his airs, lower his face, and ask these servants in a nice voice.

One of them couldn't help turning his head when he heard the words, smiled and said, "It's me!"

Wei Tao saw that the other party was dressed like an uncle, so he couldn't help but frowned, but he continued to ask in a good voice, "May I ask your honorable name."

The other party grinned: "I don't dare to do it. I am the boss of Zhongdu Guantuli, named Feng Chang. I am ordered by His Royal Highness King Qi to perform official duties here. I don't know if the son is..."

Wei Tao restrained his temper and clasped his fists and said, "My name is Wei Tao, a son of Jingzhao Wei's family, and my father is Shang Shuling Wei Zhe. Shengtai Bank is the property of our Wei family. I heard that it was surrounded by people from the government. Come and find out."

Wei Tao is usually the most disgusted by the children of other aristocratic families who always talk about their family backgrounds, but now he has no other better way. His father, who is a minister, moved out, hoping that these officials would be afraid.

When Wei Tao reported himself, Feng Chang couldn't help laughing: "It turns out that he is the son of Wei Shangshuling's family. I'm being rude."

Feng Chang's voice was a little loud, and Wei Tao could hear the sarcasm in his tone, and he felt a little embarrassed on his face, but he suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and continued to ask: "I don't know if your Sili Xiaowei's mansion is here. To perform any official duties."

"Well...we shouldn't have leaked the official affairs, but since the Shengtai Bank belongs to Mr. Wei's family, it's okay to tell Mr. Wei." Feng Chang smiled, and then said seriously, "To tell the truth, It was because our people were unfavorable in custody, and the prisoner Yang Dai escaped, and someone saw him hiding in Shengtai Bank, so we will naturally come and arrest him."

Yang Dai actually ran away?

Wei Tao was startled inwardly, but he quickly realized that the Yang family had so many shops in Nanshi, and instead of searching for Sili Xiaowei's mansion, they went straight to Shengtai Bank.

Yang Dai, this idiot, fell into the trap of others, and would implicate Shengtai Bank, and then implicate several of their aristocratic families.

After pondering for a moment, Wei Tao cupped his hands and said, "Shengtai Bank has always been safe and secure. I believe it will never do anything to take in criminals. You Sili Xiaowei's mansion came to surround you for no reason. It is probably inappropriate to damage the reputation of Shengtai Bank."

Feng Chang smiled and stretched out his right hand. On the palm was a beautiful jade pendant with the word "Yang Dai" engraved on it.

"I found it at the gate of Shengtai Bank. I don't know how Mr. Wei will explain it." Feng Chang sneered with a mocking look on his face.

No matter how eloquent Wei Tao was, he was speechless at the moment.

Feng Chang stopped talking nonsense, and directly ordered Zhongdu officials and apprentices to start searching the entire Shengtai Bank.

Although Wei Tao's face was ashen, he was powerless to stop it. He had an ominous premonition in his heart that Shengtai Bank might really be doomed this time.

Not long after, two guards escorted the dejected Yang Dai out from the backyard.

Feng Chang glanced at Shopkeeper Bao and a group of assistants, and waved his hand: "You guys are harboring important criminals, take them all away."

The people outside the bank soon saw that the Zhongdu officials and apprentices escorted all the people from Yang Dai and Shengtai Bank out of the bank, loaded them into prison carts, and then put a seal on the gate of the bank.

Every onlooker and businessman didn't know the cause and effect of the incident, and there was only one thought left in their minds at this moment, that Shengtai Bank was really involved in the wine making case, and the imperial court really investigated Shengtai Bank.

What can they do with the money they keep in the bank.

Soon someone thought that Shengtai Bank had more than one shop in Luoyang City, and they wanted to take out their money as soon as possible before the imperial court sealed up other shops.

All of a sudden, the common people and merchants in Luoyang City were all moved by the news, and flocked to every Shengtai bank in the capital with bank notes...
