Ming Qingda glanced at her indifferently and said indifferently: "Mother doesn't know that you used to be the palace maid of the eldest princess, but you know that I know this very well...... So you don't have to remind me of anything. Your Highness and I are in the same boat, and I am not going to get off the boat. ”

He paused, felt that there was no need to be angry with this woman, shook his head and said: "The letter has already been sent to the palace, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess must have a way to hold Fan Xian's hand." ”

If Her Royal Highness the eldest princess had free time, of course, there would be enough tricks to argue with the court to delay the Supervision Yuan's attack on the Ming family.

The problem is that everybody is actually very busy right now.

――――――――――――――――――――― the big shopkeeper of China Merchants Qian Zhuang sat indifferently in the luxurious flower hall of Mingyuan, the tea in his hand did not move, his right hand was bandaged, I don't know if he was injured in the fight the night before.

At this time, at that time, the day before yesterday, it was China Merchants Qianzhuang who took the initiative to talk to the Ming family about business, but today it was the Ming family who reluctantly took the initiative to request after the secret hand was ineffective, so the attitude of the big shopkeeper was obviously different.

Ming Qingda secretly looked at the other party's face in the rear, thinking that although the big shopkeeper was angry, he still came, presumably the owner behind the money bank, and he didn't want to affect the big deal between the two parties because of the incident the day before yesterday.

He was about to lift the curtain and go out, but he found that his sleeve was pulled, and he looked back in amazement, and found that his most painful son Minglan Shi's face was pale, and he stopped talking.

Ming Qingda frowned and shouted in a low voice: "What time is it now, if you have something to say, you can say it." ”

Ming Lanshi glanced into the hall, his face became even more ugly, pulled his father's sleeve into the back hall, and then without saying a word, he made a sound and knelt in front of him.

"Children are not filial...... Please father kill the child......" Ming Lanshi mustered up his courage, raised his head and said, "We must not let China Merchants Bank exchange those silver for shares!"

Ming Qingda was silent for a moment, then slowly opened his lips and asked, "What happened?"

Ming Lanshi lowered his head in shame and said, "Child...... Privately transferred a batch of silver to China Merchants Bank, using half of the dry shares in his hand to make a pledge. ”

Ming Qingda gasped, his face became extremely ugly, but he immediately regained his composure, and asked hurriedly: "When can I return the silver? What kind of deed did you order? Can you find Taiping to transfer the deed?"

This is asking a few key questions, because it involves the major matter of the Ming family's shares, Ming Qingda didn't have time to scold his son, so he asked it first, hoping not to let China Merchants Qian Zhuang have more of this.

"Death deed...... Ming Lanshi said with a sad face: "As for returning to the silver...... At first, I thought it would be three months, but now it seems that I can't get a penny back, and Taiping should also know about it, and they won't be transferred. ”

It turned out that the Ming family was in the wind and rain for a year, and Fan Xian relied on the inner library to produce, and he was about to lose his breath. As the young master of the Ming family said to his father, he always thought that the general direction of the Ming family's business should be adjusted, and only in this way would he not be played by Fan Xian forever.

Because of Ming Qingda's insistence, Ming Lanshi had to secretly make his own attempt, at the end of last year, he used half of his shares in the Ming family, in exchange for the cash support of China Merchants Bank, he thought that this attempt would get great benefits in a very short period of time, convince his father, but he didn't expect it...... Ming Qingda had a buzz in his head, and he almost fainted, and only after a while did he gasp slightly and ask, "What kind of business is it?"

Ming Lanshi looked at his angry father, hesitated for a long time before he trembled and said, "Yes...... Illegal salt business. ”

Ming Qingda was stunned and didn't say anything for a while. There are always only three most profitable businesses in Qingguo, one is the Qinglou business, the other is the imperial merchant in the inner library, and the other is the big seller of illicit salt. Among these three, selling illicit salt has the fastest return on investment, and the profit is also the highest.

"Why can't you get back to your roots?" Ming Qingda stared coldly at his son's eyes, and said word by word: "I know that you are a calm person, even if it is a risky private salt, you must have a way to keep your capital...... Sue me, why can't you get back to the book?"

"Because ......," Minglan Shi yù cried without tears, "a few days ago, the Yancha Yamen suddenly investigated, and I don't know how they knew the news, so they detained all the twelve boats of illegal salt...... I've been looking for someone, but I can't help it. ”

He didn't notice his father's increasingly blue face, and explained vigorously: "Those related checkpoints and yamen have always been well raised by the family, and I didn't expect them to suddenly make a move. Besides, Yang Jimei has always taken the line, he assured the child that it must be fine......"

There was a crisp snap! Ming Qingda slapped him violently, and he slapped the Ming Lan stone to the ground!

Ming Lanshi covered his numb face, half lying on the ground, feeling blood flowing out of his mouth, looking at his father who was as angry as a sick lion, he couldn't speak at all.

"Yamen? Yamen! You also know that it is a yamen! The Yancha Yamen does not dare to find out the family...... But wouldn't the Supervision Yuan force them to investigate!" Ming Qingda lowered his voice and roared, his eyes full of disbelief and anger, "Yang Jimei! Is there water in your head? That coolie who sells salt is Xue Qing's dog! Fan Xian lives in Suzhou in his garden!"

Ming Qingda felt a chill in his chest, kicked his son's body, gritted his teeth and scolded: "How did I raise you to be such a stupid loser!"

He finally calmed down, and said weakly: "Can this salt business be left behind? ”

"Rest assured, father. Ming Lanshi struggled to kneel in front of him, "That batch of silver came directly from China Merchants Bank, although Yang Jimei's dog thief knew that it was me, but the government couldn't find any evidence." ”

"If the merchant bank takes the deed between you and them...... The government has proof. Ming Qingda sighed helplessly.

Ming Lanshi suddenly felt a chill in his heart: "This money village ...... It can't be Fan Xian's, right?"

Ming Qingda's body trembled, and after a while, he shook his head silently: "It can't be Fan Xian's, the eldest princess checked the household department in the capital, and we also keep an eye on Fan Xian, he doesn't have so much silver to do this game." ”

This is simple, but the hard work behind it is extremely great, the Ming family wants to do business with China Merchants Bank, of course, the bottom of China Merchants Money Bank is investigated clearly, and it is confirmed that Fan Xian has nothing to do with China Merchants Bank. However, Ming Qingda didn't expect that although the results of his investigation were good, the owner of China Merchants Bank was indeed not Fan Xian...... That owner is the little emperor of Northern Qi!

"A qiē proceeds from prudence. Ming Qingda raised his head, barely controlling his failed feelings: "Give up Sancheng...... I'm sorry for the ancestors, but I can let us delay it for a while and wait for the back hand of Jingzhong. ”

However, in the past two years, the Ming family has gradually declined until it finally collapsed, in fact, it is because ...... This "procrastination"!

............ After a long time, when the grand shopkeeper of China Merchants Qianzhuang sitting in the hall yawned for the twentieth time, Ming Qingda, the contemporary owner of the Ming family, walked out with a calm face.

The big shopkeeper smiled slightly and said, "Old man Ming makes people wait." ”

Ming Qingda didn't bow his hand, nor did he say anything else, and asked indifferently: "Bring the half-share deed book of Lanshi and sell it as soon as the book is sold, and I will meet the request of your owner." ”

"Yes, Master Ming. The big shopkeeper still had the same face, took out a document from his arms, and sent it to Ming Qingda, it was the deed letter left by Ming Lanshi to raise and sell salt and silver, it seemed that he had already prepared.

Without waiting for Ming Qingda to speak, the big shopkeeper said softly: "That share, I will cancel it when I go back." ”

Ming Qingda nodded weakly.

In the afternoon, the Ming family and the major account offices of China Merchants Bank rushed in, and the wealthy businessmen who were strongly requested by the big shopkeeper to watch the ceremony also sat aside, and the official notary sent by the Suzhou government was also ready.

Three pieces of white paper were laid on the desk, an ink pen was flying, and in a moment, three debt-to-equity documents were written. The wealthy businessmen of the Sun Xiong Zhu clan who were watching the ceremony and the elderly people in Suzhou City watched for a long time before they understood what was written on it, and they couldn't help but inhale the cold air again and again, and they were shocked beyond words!

China Merchants Money Zhuang shares in Mingjia, accounting for 30% of the shares!

Although the big people in Jiangnan had already seen the embarrassment of the Ming family, no one expected that the Ming family, which was rich enough to rival the country, would be so sad that it could not be called exhausted, but they exchanged four million taels of silver for thirty percent of the shares of the Ming family?...... The businessmen pondered for a while, thinking that the Ming family's current predicament was mainly focused on the turnover flow, so they immediately understood this, but felt that the asking price of China Merchants Money Village was very fair.

Ming Qingda lifted the brush and pondered for a moment, without pretentiousness, very calmly signed his name and pressed his fingerprints.

Everyone watched this scene silently, whether they were friends or enemies with the Ming family, they all felt extremely admired for the city and courage of the old lady Ming.

On behalf of China Merchants Bank, he signed, danced, and pressed his fingerprints...... It was a young man, a young man with a beautiful face, but always standing behind the big shopkeeper of the bank.

Everyone didn't notice his deposit, and it wasn't until this time that they came to their senses, looked at them in surprise, and thought to themselves that the mysterious big proprietor of China Merchants Money Dealer was this little-known young man?

Ming Qingda finally frowned at this time and said, "It turns out that you are the big proprietor of Qian Zhuang, and it is no wonder that you were rude." ”

It's no wonder that he can't see it, because Wang Shisanlang has a chic and sparse atmosphere, and he really doesn't look like a tyrant in the business world, and he doesn't even have a trace of the feeling of being on top.

Wang Shisanlang was slightly stunned, not knowing whether he should admit it, because he didn't know if Fan Xian would stay behind the scenes at this moment.

............ At this time, there was a commotion at the gate of the Ming Garden, followed by the sound of the middle door opening, followed by the second door and the third door, and the noise was directly transmitted to the signing hall, and the sound of those hurried footsteps came very fast, faster than the sound of singing, revealing a trace of domineering and arrogance.

Ming Qingda frowned and looked out of the hall, not knowing who was coming.

The footsteps are extremely light.

Because the owner of the footsteps is in an unusually brisk mood.

Fan Xian, who was dressed in a black sè supervision court official uniform, crossed the long threshold and walked in, with a happy smile on his face, behind him, followed by Hong Changqing and the officials of the Supervision Yuan, as well as Xia Qifei, the seventh young master of the Ming family.

He didn't say hello to those officials and businessmen, and walked directly in front of Ming Qingda, looking at the old man with a rather unpredictable eye.

I don't know how long I watched it, Ming Qingda frowned slightly, looked at the Lord Qincha who was rumored to be still in the Shazhou area, and asked, "Lord Qincha is here, and it is not far away." ”

Fan Xian smiled and said: "Such a grand event, how can you not come, especially if this official wants to come and say thank you to Old Man Ming." ”

"Thank you?" Ming Qingda's heart trembled slightly.

"Thank you for your three-percent shares. He attached it to Ming Qingda's ear, and said softly in a voice that only the other party could hear: "Merchants Qianzhuang...... It's mine. ”

Ming Qingda frowned slightly, wondering if he had heard something wrong?

Fan Xian looked at the paperwork on the case that had not yet dried, a happy smile bloomed on the corner of his lips, he had worked hard for a year of planning, and he had endured for a year, and finally received results today, how could he be unhappy?

Although he knew that revealing his identity would make China Merchants Qianzhuang no longer able to avoid the eyes of the imperial court, but this was a matter of time, and he also needed to take advantage of this limelight to make the little emperor of Northern Qi earn a lot...... Although under the attention of Emperor Lao Tzu, Fan Xian may have to bear a loss of more than one million taels of silver, but he doesn't care about this.

The Ming family, which has been crisscrossing the south of the Yangtze River for a hundred years, crisscrossing temples and rivers and lakes, and controlling the life and death of hundreds of people...... How could Fan Xian miss such a grand show? Spending 1 million taels of silver to buy a movie ticket and being able to witness this scene with his own eyes is really worth it!

He looked at Ming Qingda, whose face was constantly changing, and squinted his eyes and thought badly, if the old lady Ming suddenly fainted, then this ticket would be even more valuable.

It seemed that the heavens heard his heart, Ming Qingda looked at the big shopkeeper of China Merchants Qianzhuang standing behind Fan Xian, and watched the young man hand the deed to Fan Xian's hand, he finally figured out something, but he still couldn't figure it out...... It is also impossible for the Ministry of Household to move the treasury out...... Where did Fan Xian get so much money and make a bank?

Ming Qingda trembled all over, his eyes were slightly red, his throat grunted twice but he couldn't speak, his blood attacked his heart, and his body fell down as soon as he stood up!

Fan Xian looked at the people who were looking at each other from all sides, bowed casually, and laughed in this empty and luxurious Mingyuan Hall.
