Chapter 136 Extrajudicial Fanatics

The money-making business in Nanzhili has always been relatively developed.

The origin of this business still has to start with the Daming Baochao. Before Tumubao, the Daming Baochao had depreciated very significantly and was rarely used by the people. Although the Baochao was still a currency stipulated by the court, copper coins and silver have begun to become popular among the people.

In wealthy places like Nanzhili, "money shops" first appeared, specializing in the exchange of treasure money, copper coins and gold and silver. However, merchants with a keen sense of smell discovered the business opportunities, how could they easily let them go? Soon, these money shops had loans, loans and other businesses. Those with strong strength even opened semicolons in many places, and the bills issued by our store could even be redeemed in other places.

This is the origin of the money house.

However, at this time, most of the money shops are mainly local transactions. They have the ability to open their own money shop's semicolons to various places, so it is easy to transfer large amounts of money locally, but in other places, it is a bit inconvenient.

Now Zheng Cai is encountering such inconvenience.

He estimated that he had bid 80,000 taels of silver at the party head of Hyogo that day, and the chance of making the first place should be not great. Neither the Zhou family, the Chen family, nor the Lin family, they were not the ones who were short of silver. He had even thought about it. If he won, he would directly take the two hundred muskets and sell the remaining weapons to one of them. Such a thing could be considered a waste of money.

He traveled so many people to Yan'an Mansion, hum, he wouldn't be so stupid. Anyway, he just made money, just take the big one.

Early in the morning, Chief Gao sent someone to notify him. He won the bid and asked him to prepare for the delivery of the silver. Moreover, the other party specially ordered that only cash and silver should be cashed, no silver notes, and no treasure money.

He could understand the concerns among them. In addition to Nanjing, he always only collected cash and silver when doing business. However, the problem came. Time was so tight that he could get the 80,000 taels of cash and silver. Even if a small money house with him on weekdays was the background of his uncle's mansion, he could not mobilize 80,000 taels of cash and silver in the future.

"Master Zheng, that's really that much. Even if I add the 10,000 taels deposited in the Jinghai Marquis' Mansion yesterday, my small account will only be able to raise up to 30,000 taels until tomorrow. The other 50,000 taels, if I give me some time, I can still think of a solution, but now, it's really not possible!"

"Then go and borrow it!" Zheng Cai said with a cold face: "No matter what method you use, you have to borrow so much money for me. But I saved so much money and came in, so you would have issued so many silver notes. Or are you deficient in this money?"

"In the past two months, the prince has used more money!" said the bank manager with a bitter face: "I didn't expect that Master Zheng, you have to be so anxious to ask for money. Otherwise, you can go to the prince to settle the bill with the remaining 50,000 taels!"

"The prince knows this!" Zheng Cai snorted, very dissatisfied: "Don't use the prince to suppress me. If I don't believe me, I will have changed people in this business!"

"There is still one way!" The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment: "There is still a batch of gold in the bank deposit, but it is for emergency use for the banknotes issued by the banknotes issued by the banknotes. If you take these away, if someone else uses the banknotes we issued to run, we will not be able to pay the banknotes. Not only will the reputation of the banknotes become bad, but it will have to be a big deal!"

"There is no such coincidence. It's okay to keep it here. Once I take it out, I'll have something to do!" Zheng Cai shook his head: "At most, you can get it back in a few days. Don't talk nonsense, just take it to me!"

Half an hour later, Zheng Cai and his men walked out of the gate of the money shop. At the gate, the two carriages were ready, and the silver boxes were neatly stacked in the first carriage. He directed his people to put all the boxes full of gold into the first carriage, and then walked onto the second carriage by himself.

The carriage began to move slowly, and Zheng Cai leaned into the carriage and closed his eyes slightly.

"Go to Hyogo!" he ordered to the coachman in front of him.

The carriage slowly walked out of the streets of the money shop and merged into the bustling streets in Nanjing. Next to the carriage, his dozens of his subordinates looked bright and followed the carriage slowly. On their backs, those with a little eyesight could tell what they were.

The sun is very bright today, and there are many people on the street.

There was someone quarreling in front of him, and it seemed that he was still fighting, and there were a lot of idle people around him.

The speed of the carriage slowed down, and Zheng Cairan suddenly opened his eyes: "Why did you stop?"

"Boss, there is someone fighting in front of you. Should we go around..." The coachman who turned his head and spoke, his voice suddenly stopped. An arrow with blood suddenly appeared in front of Zheng Cai through the coachman's body and through the carriage.

Zheng Cai subconsciously lowered his body and lay on the floor of the carriage. Then, he heard the sound of "aggressive" sounds as if it was raining on the walls of the carriage.

There were also screams around the carriage, but these screams were quickly suppressed by higher-pitched sounds. The noise created by the quarrels in the distance was simply earth-shaking and enthusiastic.

Zheng Cai's heart seemed to sink to the bottom of the valley, and a thought flashed through his mind: "How is it possible? How is this possible?"

He couldn't believe what was happening in front of him. This was how could such a murderous and robbery happen in Nanjing? Who has the courage to do such a thing!

He pulled out the knife and stared at the door tightly. Time passed very slowly and seemed to pass quickly. I don’t know how long I waited, but the noise suddenly became less harsh.

However, the door of the carriage was still not opened.

The carriage was slightly shocked, and someone jumped into the carriage and replaced the coachman's position. He stood up suddenly.

"Master Zheng, you'd better not act rashly!" The carriage slowly moved again, and a thick black iron pipe reached in from the window and pointed at him: "Your people are dead. If you don't want to die, just sit there honestly and I'll take you to an interesting place!"

"Three-eyed musket!" Zheng Cai took a deep breath: "There is such a thing. Are you from the army?"

There was no response outside the carriage.

He suppressed the fear in his heart and roared: "Is this black food? Is it the Yi Prince's Mansion or that Gao Han? Do you know who I am?"

The speed of the carriage gradually increased. The driver outside didn't say a word, as if he was not going to answer Zheng Cai's words. Zheng Cai looked at the door of the carriage and thought about a serious question in his mind: Should he jump down?
