Uncle Summoning

Meng Luochuan suddenly made a decision, lifted up his robe and knelt down directly to Ding Baozhen:

"Master Governor, this matter has nothing to do with Lord Jin and Master Long. It is my fault alone. Because Ruifuxiang lacks working capital, I took the risk and did something illegal. If you punish Your Excellency, punish me!"

"Confused!" Ding Baozhen's face turned purple with anger, and he gasped and scolded, "I thought you were a sensible person, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid. Selling iron embryos can be done? What's more, in the mutiny Time, that is the most important crime plus the third class!"

Meng Jinhou had already knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and said:

"My lord, this matter has nothing to do with our boss, it is me, and I ordered them to do it."

"You two are affectionate and righteous, don't think that I dare not kill you!"

In fact, he really didn't dare, if Meng Luochuan and Meng Jinhou were slaughtered, then the payment debts would be exhausted, where would the military salary come from?If the rebel army really came, what would he do to stop it?That being the case, there is only one Dragon Master who can give up.

"Both of you get up, people who do great things must not be so reckless."

Then he told the two of what happened at the gate of the yamen today, then stroked his beard and said:

"I can hold back this matter for a while, and the court will know about it sooner or later, so we must think of a way so that we must not implicate Ruifuxiang Cloth and Bank. If rumors spread, the debt will fall short."

"It's up to the adults to decide what to do. I don't care what I do. I just hope that the adults can keep the century-old Ruifuxiang brand."

Selling iron embryos is said to be small to do business secretly without the knowledge of the court, and to say that it is big is collaborating with the enemy or even treason. Who knows if you are selling this thing to make weapons for the enemy?If it is really spread, Ruifuxiang's centuries-old reputation will be ruined.Ding Baozhen was also in trouble because of this matter, but he had to act as a shield for Meng Luochuan, deeply regretting that he was blind at the beginning.

"Let me think about this matter first. Someone has to be responsible, and I will block it for you first. But, no matter what happened, you don't know anything about the trafficking of iron embryos, and you can't mention a word to anyone in the future." ! Otherwise, not only you, but even this residence will die."

Both of them nodded in agreement, but Ding Baozhen didn't want to see them again, so he waved his hands to send them out, closed the door by himself, and began to think slowly.

************************************************** ******

Before the case of Iron Embryo came out, cracks had already appeared in the Xiangshou bond.

The operation of capital is like dancing on a tightrope, beautiful and fragile, as long as someone touches it lightly, the dancer can be killed without a whole body.

Meng Luochuan found another way to build a good relationship with the government. Not only did he gain Ding Baozhen's favor, but he also won 30 years of tea monopoly rights. The inflow of funds into Ruifuxiang will inevitably lead to runs on other banks.

Ai Xiaohua has long been persuading young Ai Longbiao:

"Brother, you are too dull on weekdays. In fact, it is better to make more friends. As long as you have friends, you can do some things that they can't do, and they will do for you if you can't do it yourself. It's just a message. Either way, it’s better than being alone.”

The young man lowered his head for a moment, then wrote a small note to Geng Baokun, so after a few days, rumors spread in Jinan Prefecture:

"I heard that the Xiangshou bond is about to be sold out, and if you don't buy it again, you won't be able to buy it!"

"I also heard that if you buy the bond, you can double it. People in Ruifuxiang can't buy it without trust!"

"Yeah, yeah, I've also heard that it's a guaranteed deal!"

"Then I will quickly take out all the money stored in the bank to buy bonds."

"That's what I planned too. Who doesn't do business that makes money for nothing."

More and more people began to withdraw money to buy bonds from major banks, and Jinan's capital market was facing a collapse.

So, some people started quitting.

That's right, you, Meng Luochuan, were born to Ding Baozhen, and we were not raised by his stepmother. Even if the money he earned was given to the government, we usually pay taxes and donations. Are we going to wait for nothing to close down?

The shopkeepers of the Jinan Bank discussed with each other, okay, since the government is guaranteeing the ticket, then we have to settle the score with Ding Baozhen, a small cloth shop owner in Meng Luochuan, who is nothing in front of the big capitalists of the bank, and it is not worth it meet him.

Taking advantage of the auspicious weather, which is auspicious and easy to travel, several families went directly to the governor's office and blocked Ding Baozhen inside to ask for an explanation.Behind the major shopkeepers are the major banks in Shanxi, Anhui and other places, all of which are inextricably linked to the court officials. How could Ding Baozhen not know how many years he has been in the officialdom?You can't force them out, you can only persuade them slowly:

"The government didn't know there would be such a big mess, but Meng Luochuan issued the bonds to raise military pay, and in the final analysis, was it also for everyone's safety? If the rebellious army invades, you can't do business, and what's more Or even lose their lives!"

So everyone bear with it, is it all for the country?The shopkeepers glanced at each other, but one stood up and spoke:

"If it's for the sake of the country, we can't talk about it, but I heard that Meng Luochuan has exchanged the debt with the Lord for 30 years of tea monopoly, and the debt is only run by his Ruifuxiang family. Does the governor know the details? "

You use government guarantees to engage in venture capital, what if you lose money, pay with taxpayers' money?The shopkeepers are all human beings, so they naturally know the risks involved. Is bureaucracy killing people?Ding Baozhen really couldn't tell the details, so he could only cough in a low voice:

"This Meng Luochuan is a descendant of Mencius, and Ruifuxiang has been a name for over a hundred years. Nothing will happen."

"It has nothing to do with us if there is an accident or not. It's just that if the run on happens, we will have to withdraw from Jinan Mansion. How will the governor explain to the court?"

Once the major banks withdrew, this Jinan Prefecture would be an isolated city. Ding Baozhen knew how powerful he was, and was forced to sweat:

"This is absolutely impossible. Please allow me a few days, and the government will definitely give you an answer."

It was only after talking hard and loudly that he persuaded people, and then immediately called Meng Luochuan.

It's just that Meng Luochuan didn't expect the incident to be so big, so he stayed for a long time before replying:

"In this case, I think it's better to stop the debt. The ones that have been sold are slowly recovered, and I will use the name of Ruifuxiang to entertain the shopkeepers of the major banks. I will make it clear in person. If it doesn't work, I will apologize to them! "

It's a big taboo for businessmen to mess around on other people's land without saying hello, Meng Luochuan suddenly remembered it at this time, but it seems, it seems a bit late, and there is only a remedy.

************************************************** ******

In Shanghai, Ai Xiaohua has been hiding in the back kitchen for several days, and has been devoting herself to spreading rumors.

"That is to say, your father was framed to death?"

When Zhou Yawen was free, she took her to his office and listened to the little girl tell her tragic life experience.Ai Xiaohua nodded vigorously:

"That's right, sister Zhou, my father was framed by Meng Luochuan, the owner of Ruifuxiang in Jinan. At the beginning, our Ai family had an agreement with the Meng family ancestor that the Ai family would always be Ruifuxiang's big shopkeeper, and then he went to Meng Luochuan. He thought I My father would tell him what to do if he had nothing to do, which ruined his interest in being a master, so he asked his subordinate named Meng Jinhou to force Boss Liang to sell my father inferior cotton yarn. In the end, my father paid all his belongings to Rui Fuxiang and hanged himself He committed suicide. But not only did that Meng Luochuan feel no guilt at all, he took the money to redeem a prostitute and raised her as his own concubine."

"And he keeps a prostitute? Doesn't he have a wife?"

As women, no matter how broad or narrow their knowledge, their focus is always very strange.

Ai Xiaohua nodded:

"Why not? His wife is the daughter of a county magistrate. It is said that he refused to come out to be an official and insisted on doing business. As a result, the father of the Miss Wang's family wanted to withdraw the engagement. Young Master Meng quit, and the joint governor forced the Wang family to marry their daughter. give him."

"and after?"

"Later, Miss Wang married Meng Luochuan for the sake of her father's future. I don't know if she is doing well."

Ai Xiaohua pouted and shook her head, her eyes full of regret.Zhou Yawen tickled her little nose, and said slowly:

"You're really a young man. Then how did you come to Shanghai Beach?"

"I came here with a fellow villager to join relatives. My second uncle teaches in Shanghai, but I don't know which school he is in. That fellow went to Guangzhou again. I came to you when I was hungry."

Eldest sister, the point is not here, but the evil man bullying the market and killing people, you must remember it!

"I want to find the second uncle, and then let the second uncle help me go back to avenge my father! My father died so badly, Meng Luochuan is simply not human! He ruined my family. I heard that it was not only me, but also the man from Ruifuxiang in the capital city. The shopkeeper also let him kill himself."

With the addition of key symbols and another prestige point, Zhou Yawen finally formed in her mind: Meng Luochuan is a complete bastard who bullies men and women and disregards human lives.

At this moment, a waiter knocked on the door and entered:

"Miss Zhou, a gentleman outside said he was looking for a little girl surnamed Ai. He claimed to be the second uncle of the little girl."

"Second uncle? My second uncle is really here to pick me up!"

Ai Xiaohua bounced downstairs, and saw Uncle R dressed in black, standing there leaning against the door, with long braids hanging down his waist, very coquettish and beautiful, but what Zhou Yawen saw was a man wearing a Looks like a gentle teacher with glasses.

"Second Uncle, you finally came to pick me up!"

If I don't come again, I will indulge in the sugar-coated shells of delicious food and beauties!It is worthy of being the most luxurious restaurant in Shanghai. The dishes inside are really not covered, and there are soft big bed rooms.

Uncle r picked up Ai Xiaohua's collar with his two little fingers, thanked Zhou Yawen with a smile, and offered some money for compensation, which Zhou Yawen naturally refused to ask for.Ai Xiaohua watched the two of them evade, then tugged on Zhou Yawen's sleeve, put her finger against her lips, used a prestige point, and said in a low voice:

"Don't tell anyone else about it, my lovely sister."
