"The owner, the owner, it's not good, I heard that many people went to the Wanyuan Commerce Bank Store to cash in, the owner should go and take a look."

"Hey, no, who did you listen to the money shopkeeper, didn't you say that the silver ship of Huitong Bank was hijacked, and everyone was afraid that the money stored in the bank would not be cashed, so they ran to Huitong Bank to run, what happened to Wanyuan Tongshang Bank?"

"Ouch, the owner, you only know one of them, you don't know the other, now it has spread outside, Wanyuan Tongshang Bank and various money banks have also deposited their silver into Huitong Bank, wanting to get interest from it, this is terrible, if Huitong Bank has no money to cash to the banks, how can the silver banks have the money to cash to us."

"Is there such a thing? This, this, this"

"The owner, don't believe it, the guys from Wanyuanhao Tongshang Bank have now gone to Huitong Bank to cash out, many people have seen this, it can't be fake, the owner should go quickly."

"Money shopkeeper, hurry up, bring someone and follow me to Wanyuan Commerce Bank, quick"

In addition to the silver money exchange business, the silver shops were mainly engaged in the service of depositing money for merchants and ordinary people, but in these money houses, whether it was deposits or loans, interest was charged. Despite this, there are still a lot of people who keep their money in the money bank due to various needs.

Now I heard that the trend of the run has actually affected all the money banks, and all merchants and depositors can't sit still, so they have rushed to the money banks to cash out.

"Master, master, no, there are a lot of people from outside our silver shop, shouting to exchange cash, master, what can I do? Come up with an idea. Jin Changfu, the old housekeeper of the Jin family, hurriedly ran into the backyard and said to Jin Million out of breath.

"What? How so? How can someone come to our money bank to run? "After Huitong Bank took the initiative to post a notice that the silver ship was hijacked. Jin Million was uneasy in his heart, always feeling that something bad would fall on him, and after listening to the old housekeeper's words, he was so shocked that the teacup was overturned.

"Master, I don't know what's going on, anyway, there are a lot of people outside our silver shop, and the old customers from before are here, and there is a steady stream of people coming from behind, master, what should you do, hurry up and get a charter."

"Let's go. Go out and have a look. ”

In front of the Wanyuan Commerce Bank, there were already hundreds of people rushing to the bank, and the people who were lucky enough to squeeze in front of the counter waved the bills and kept shouting.

"Cash in the silver for me, I'll come first."

"My, I'll come first, give me the cash first, hurry up, I'm the old customer of your bank."

"Give it to me first. Give me a cash first, I have a lifelong friendship with your boss Jin, hurry up, give me a cash first. ”

The front one was yelling and yelling. The latter is even worse, for fear that it will not be his turn, so he shouts even more stakes: "What kind of fateful friendship, Lao Tzu won't give it to me if he doesn't have a friendship?" ”

"Yes. This is the bill issued by your Wanyuan Tongshang Bank, two thousand taels, quickly redeem it for me. ”

When the gold million is driven out. All I saw was a surging crowd of heads and waving arms, and the entire silver shop was almost crowded, and there was a steady stream of people coming from behind, and the people who couldn't squeeze in front of the counter were very excited, and the scene could get out of control at any time.

Jin Million hurriedly stood on a cash box and shouted at the crowd outside the counter: "Don't squeeze everyone, don't squeeze, listen to me, my Wanyuan Tongshang Silver Shop is a time-honored brand for many years, the foundation is sufficient, there will definitely be no shortage of everyone's silver, don't listen to rumors, your silver is stored in our silver shop, it will definitely be fine, you can cash it out at any time"

"Boss Jin, since you can cash it out at any time, then give it to us now."

"Boss Jin, I, Liu Changqing, have traded with you for many years, but the old customer, you have to cash it out for me first."

"Boss Kim"

"Boss Blonde." Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "Jin Million has deposited all the silver in Huitong Bank to earn interest, in case Huitong Bank collapses, how can he cash in the silver to us." ”

"That's it, that's it, I saw with my own eyes that Shopkeeper Liu of Wanyuan Tongshang Bank took a group of guys to Huitong Bank to run, and this matter can't be faked."

"Damn, isn't this a pit for us with a million dollars, let's deposit the silver to him, but he deposited our silver in Huitong Bank, this is the business of that door."

"Erzhu, smash the door for me to go in, the golden million is not able to cash out to us, while there is still some silver in the counter, slam the door and go in, grab a little better."

"Bao, you have a lot of strength, smash it quickly, if it's like this, it's all those who have a relationship with the golden million haode can redeem the silver, and it won't be our turn at all."

"Smash!"

Without waiting for Jin Million to react, the small door against the wall by the counter had been smashed open, and under the encouragement of the well-intentioned people, the emotional people rushed in.

"How much money can you have at the counter, go to the vault in the back, go quickly."

I don't know who shouted, the surging crowd suddenly rushed into the back yard with a hula, less than half of them really came to exchange silver, most of them were street gangsters, or watching the lively market people, everyone's emotions were stirred, and they all rushed in to check the cheap.

On the teahouse opposite Wanyuanhao Tongshang Silver Shop, Huang Lianshan was leisurely drinking tea while watching the excitement.

There is no need to guess, it was the people who instigated the people just now and took the lead in smashing the door.

This person has the heart of conformity, no matter what he does, even if it is murder and arson, as long as the scene enters a state of disorder, and someone takes the lead, driven by the luck of the law and not to blame the public, everyone is too lazy to think about the consequences, and they will join the ranks of destruction in a swarm.

Huang Lianshan is very particular about the timing of the selection, at this time it is almost dark, and the chaos is together, and once the sky is dark, many things can be covered in the darkness.

After the dozens of people he arranged took the lead in rushing to the silver vault, he quickly smashed open the silver vault, each of them filled the bag with gold and silver, and then rushed out, and the people behind were red-eyed, facing the golden gold ingots and white silver ingots, who could not hold back and not stretch out their hands. A disorderly robbery ensued. Out of control.

The people arranged by Huang Lianshan not only took the lead in grabbing money, but also took advantage of the chaos to set fires, and the fire spread rapidly, and after a while, thick smoke billowed and the fire was raging

And this kind of chaos is not only Wanyuanhao Tongshang Silver Shop, but also Fugui Money Village, Juyuan Money Village, etc., a total of more than a dozen money banks are also similar chaos at the same time, and there are countless people involved in the robbery, and there are shouts everywhere. There was fire everywhere.

The officials of the various yamen in Nanjing City took care of one thing and the other, and when the night came, people couldn't see clearly, and countless people participated, how many did you catch?

There is gold and silver scattered all over the ground, and the officials are also people, and they will be tempted when they see gold and silver, and there are not a few who are busy carrying silver in their arms, and a few can still take care of arresting people.

The turmoil also involved Huitong Bank. Many ruffians in the city rushed to the city, also wanting to make money in the chaos, but the counter was quickly smashed, and the ruffians took the lead in rushing in to grab the silver. When the crowd behind saw the chaos, they also rushed inside.

Fortunately, Xu Yingjie was prepared, and hundreds of guards came out with knives and guns, and cut down more than a dozen ruffians who took the lead in smashing and looting on the spot. The guards of Huitong Bank were ruthless, reckless, and some ruffians had their entire arms cut off. Bloody, whistling and rolling on the ground, it is terrifying

In addition to his own guards who dared to be ruthless, Xu Yingjie also quickly sent people to ask for help from Han Zanzhou, the eunuch of Nanjing.

This disorderly robbery attracted tens of thousands of participants, and even when the army came, it took more than an hour to gradually calm down.

Huitong Bank due to the proper response, the loss is not big, according to Xu Yingjie said that only more than 10,000 taels of silver were robbed, as for whether it was really robbed so much, the ghost knows, anyway, the ruffians who rushed in first did not get the money, they were cut down, anyway, it was like that at the time, it was hard to say, Xu Yingjie said that he was robbed of more than 10,000 taels, that is, more than 10,000 taels.

As for the other banks, it was miserable, the chaos was first triggered by the banks, and the banks were not only robbed of the treasury, but also burned to the ground by the fire, miserable!

Like Wanyuan's commercial silver shop, not only was the treasury silver robbed, but even most of the compound was burned down, and the gold million was really bankrupt this time, and there was no place to cry.

The government arrested people overnight, but there were too many people involved, and the scene was chaotic like that, who knows which one participated in the robbery? Have you been caught so much?

In the entire city of Nanjing, only Huitong Bank is still open, cashing out the silver to the uncertain depositors overnight, Xu Yingjie personally sat in front of the counter, while arranging for the guys to cash, while comforting the depositors outside: "Everyone, please listen to me, don't worry, our bank has a capable guard, and now there are military guards sent by Han Gonggong, there will be no more trouble." Our bank has a thick foundation, and the silver in the treasury is still full, enough for everyone to cash;

In fact, I want to advise you, you don't need to rush to cash out the deposits, you must have heard that Han Gonggong, Dingguo Gong, etc., many nobles have silver in our bank, who saw them in a hurry to cash?

No, don't they feel sorry for their money or not? Of course not, that's because they know how thick our bank's foundation is, and the loss of one million taels is completely within the tolerance of our bank;

And Xu has sent someone to ask for help from Lord Qin, the governor of southern Jiangnan, Xu is willing to donate 100,000 taels of silver as military funds, Lord Qin has promised to send troops to chase down the gang of water bandits in the waves, what kind of person is Lord Qin Mu, 2,000 men and horses can defeat Zhang Xianzhong's hundreds of thousands of troops, with him out of the horse, the waves will not be able to run, and the little silver lost by our bank will be recovered sooner or later."

Xu Yingjie laid out the facts and reasoned, anyway, he won't stop you, you want to cash it out like him, but many people really listened to his words, yes, it was Gonggong Han and a group of powerful people who first took the silver to deposit, and now people are not in a hurry to cash it, which means that Huitong Bank can't collapse yet;

There is also Qin Mu, with him out to kill Langlijiao, the people of Nanjing still believe that they can recover the robbed silver, after all, where is Qin Mu's brilliant record, Zhang Xianzhong's hundreds of thousands of troops have been defeated and defeated, what is the calculation of hundreds of minions in Langlijiao?

No matter what, if something like this happened today, the depositor door still felt more at ease with the silver in his hands, so they still cashed out, but their hearts were much more stable, orderly, Xu Yingjie was not ambiguous, if you want to cash, you will be cashed, and the fixed deposit will be charged 3% of the breach of contract, and the bank can't lose.

In fact, it is true that the silver ship was robbed, but the loss of one million taels of silver is fake, and the principal of the bank and the silver deposited by the depositors are still in the silver treasury safely, where is Xu Yingjie afraid that they will come to run.

By the evening of the next day, almost all the depositors had cashed out their deposits, and Xu Yingjie had people carry out large boxes of silver, standing in front of the counter and shouting: "Who else?" Who else has not cashed in and wants to cash, come on, our bank still has silver, not a penny short of you, who else has not had time to cash? ”

Whether it is the depositors who have cashed out, or the people who are watching, looking at the mountains of silver piled up in the counter, they can't help but look at each other, oh my God, Huitong Bank is really not built, everyone has cashed out the silver, people are still gold and silver, I knew so, why bother to stay up all night in this last night!
