"The root cause of this matter is not the fluctuation of prices, but why those silver banks suddenly collapsed, and did the bosses of these silver banks arrest them?" Chu Xian asked expressionlessly.

Changshi Li Ji said at this time: "It's all arrested." ”

"Bring them here, and the officer himself will question them. Chu Xian put down the file in his hand, still with an unchanged posture of Mount Tai collapsing forward.

Seeing this scene, the originally frightened hearts of many officials present also calmed down, and Lord Thorn Shi was so calm and calm, they could only follow suit.

Soon several silver village owners brought them up.

Those who opened the silver village, those are all those who have some ability, and they are not short of money, Chu Xian is very strange, why they can't get the silver at the same time, because of the people's run.

Chu Xian felt that there would be no such coincidence in this world.

These silver village bosses are honest, their silver village is down, and their subordinates can't be held accountable, but their bosses will never be able to run away, and the Holy Dynasty has rules to find in the control of this silver village, and it is reasonable to arrest them.

Chu Xian asked them what was going on, and these silver village bosses began to tell one by one.

"Lord Thorn Shi, my family was originally an oil shop, from my grandfather's generation to do this business, accumulated a lot of family funds, and later relied on the oil shop, opened the silver village, these are in line with the law of the Holy Dynasty, the silver village mortgage is my family throughout the three cities of fifteen oil shops, these years are also smooth sailing, but adults you know, do business, sometimes there is really no money in hand, a few days ago, our oil depot fire, burned clean, naturally the price of oil rose, this is also a last resort, the most troublesome thing is that the silver in the hand before are used to buy new grain, in the outside of the pressure of 200,000 taels, but who would have thought, in my small money in the people who deposited silver suddenly came to run, The first day can still hold on, to the next day, someone suddenly took away 50,000 taels, this time there is no money in the silver village, the back of the run is more and more people, as a result, there is an accident, the silver village is upside down, even with me in Shacheng a few oil shops have to be sold, but even so, it is not enough to repay the money, hey, my family three generations of family wealth accumulated by three generations, are ruined in my hands, I am sorry for my father, sorry for my grandfather. ”

Although the owner of this oil shop is fat, he is crying with rain pear blossoms at the moment, and his fat is trembling.

Chu Xian asked several other silver village bosses, basically the same situation, those who open a silver village, the silver cannot be kept all the time, it will be used for turnover, as long as it can be maintained, it will be like a snowball, rolling bigger and bigger.

But if the silver is suddenly interrupted at this time, and there are people on the other side who 'maliciously' exchange silver, then these people must have no money in their hands, and once a common person can't redeem the silver, then the follow-up will also snowball, rolling bigger and bigger, out of control.

And these people who do business, more or less, will encounter some 'coincidences' and 'accidents', which make their situation worse, fortunately, they all have their own shops or industries, which can be mortgaged to raise silver, but obviously, this method is to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, and it won't last long.

In just a few days, most of the industrial shops of these traders have changed hands.

Chu Xian suddenly asked at this time: "Who is the person who agreed to let you mortgage? At this time, who will buy your shop?"

The officials who asked these questions were stunned, but even these traders didn't react at once.

For them, it is a benefactor who can lend them money for emergency at such a critical moment, so the owner of the oil shop said before: "It is a person surnamed Shang, a guest of my silver village, with a solid family background and very rich." ”

Several other bosses also said it, but they were not alone, and they couldn't contact each other, so there didn't seem to be any suspicions.

Chu Xian didn't ask much at this time.

At present, these people still owe millions of taels to the people of Shacheng, plus the prices of various commodities on the market are soaring, and the people are panicking, this kind of thing must be solved first.

Chu Xian turned his head to look at Li Ji at this time, and then walked outside, Li Ji estimated that he knew what Chu Xian's plan was, so he also walked out, and when he arrived at a place where no one was, Chu Xian said: "Take the money from the state government for emergency first." ”

Li Ji hurriedly shook his head and said, "Lord Thorn Shi, the state government has just had a little money in its hands, and it already has a place to use it, so we can't raise so much silver." ”

"Take it out for emergency first, at least stabilize the people's hearts first, otherwise there will be chaos, and you and I will not be able to escape the involvement. After Chu Xian finished speaking, Li Ji gritted his teeth and actually refused: " No, Lord Assassin Shi, for other things, the lower officials must obey the order, but this matter is not good, if the money is taken out, it is equivalent to a waste, these silver village bosses are finished, even if they take this amount of silver to help them fill the hole, they can't pay back the money, although the silver they put out can take back the grain for oil extraction, or other things, but their own shops are gone, they can't redeem it, and the possibility of repaying this money is too slim. ”

Chu Xian smiled: "Do you think I'm throwing silver into the water?"

Li Ji nodded: "Lord Assassin Shi, if we really use the money from the state government to go to the emergency, and then the household department will track it down, it will be a big crime, and the consequences will be much more serious, so even if it is for our own sake, this kind of thing must not be advanced into it." ”

I have to say that what Li Ji said is very reasonable, but Chu Xian obviously has his own plans.

"Li Changshi, you are good at internal affairs, and I Chu Xian is not as good as you at this point. But what I'm good at Chu Xian, Li Changshi, you can't compare to me, I, Chu Xian, am good at judging cases, but I'm better at calculating, especially good at deduction, you might as well follow me to deduce this matter, if you still refuse at that time, then I, Chu Xian, will definitely not give orders again, how?" Chu Xian asked.

Li Ji thought about it and nodded, anyway, he made up his mind in his heart, the money of this state capital must not be put into the water, if this money is used indiscriminately, then he and Chu Xian will have to bear the responsibility, and I am afraid that it will not be as simple as losing the official position at that time.

Chu Xian said: " The way of deduction lies in the assumption of reason, then we might as well assume that if this matter was premeditated from the beginning, let's say that the owner of the oil shop, where he stored the oil, someone deliberately set fire, so that he suffered heavy losses, of course, before that, the other party may also use the low price of raw materials for oil extraction, let the owner of the oil shop use most of the cash to buy raw materials, at this time, only need to suddenly cash out the large amount of silver that has been deposited in the oil shop silver village, empty the cash in the silver village, and then spread rumors, let other people to exchange the silver, then this oil shop owner is not what it is now？”

Li Ji was stunned when he heard this.

If you think about it, it's also a cold sweat.

"This, if what Lord Thorn Shi assumed is true, then it is indeed terrifying, but who can do this?" Li Ji asked.

Chu Xian said: "Li Changshi, don't worry, my deduction is not over yet, or suppose there is such a person, I have long expected that the owner of the oil shop will raise money everywhere because of the collapse of Yinzhuang, and even do not hesitate to mortgage his own life, the oil shop, let me ask, if you are the mastermind behind the scenes, will you take over?"

Li Ji thought about it carefully, and his eyes lit up: "Yes, it will be, at this time, because the owner of the oil shop is in urgent need of silver, so even if I reduce the price, the owner of the oil shop will cut the meat, because if he doesn't cut the meat, he will definitely die, so that I spent a small amount of money to buy the original oil shop with a high value." ”

"Yes, let's assume that this person buys the oil shop, or temporarily mortgages it, then he will definitely go further and kill the oil shop owner, because as long as the oil shop owner can't slow down, then they will be the ones who will benefit in the end, right?" Chu Xian asked again.

Li Ji nodded: "That's true, the owner of the oil shop can't pay the money, so the oil shop is naturally theirs." ”

After speaking, Li Ji seemed to think of something, and said excitedly: "But if the state government lends the money to the owner of the oil shop, then he can repay the other party's money and redeem the shop. ”

Unexpectedly, Chu Xian shook his head: "If you really do this, the things that have risen in price before will inevitably plummet, because from the beginning, it is the black hand behind the scenes who is manipulating all kinds of prices, and the price will definitely drop at that time, and it will still make the oil shop owner lose money, and at that time, in order to survive, the oil shop owner can only mortgage the shop for emergency, and the result will still fall into the trap of those people." ”

This time, Li Ji was confused.

Because if this is the case, whether the state government saves the world or not, the result will be the same.

Li Ji said what he thought in his heart, but Chu Xian shook his head: "It's different, because it's the same money, it depends on what method is used to spend it, if the usage is improper, it is as you said, it is to throw silver into the water, and it is estimated that you can't even see a splash, but if you use it properly, perhaps, you don't need to use real money, and you can resolve this crisis invisibly." ”

Li Ji was excited at this time, and he couldn't figure out how to deal with it when he thought about it, because in his opinion, they were all 'dead' in this matter, and they all had to be hit by the board in the end, and the difference was the difference between the severity and the severity.

But if there is a way to resolve the crisis, then of course he is willing to do it.

"Master Assassin Shi, if you have a way, just say it, the lower officials really can't wait, and if this matter drags on for a while, it may bring unpredictable consequences. Li Ji was in a hurry at this time.

Chu Xian looked at it and smiled: "Li Changshi, you come here with your ears." ”

Li Ji nodded hurriedly and leaned his head over, Chu Xian said a few words, and Li Ji's eyes lit up directly, as if he had heard some golden words.

"Do you understand?" Chu Xian asked, and Li Ji nodded hurriedly.
