Chapter 364: Hundreds of millions of silver

Qingjiangpu.

The next day, the shops around Yinhui Bank that opened their doors as usual suddenly discovered that Huitong Bank was about to reach business hours and there was still no movement at all, and the door continued to be closed?

Someone came over to take a look and found that there was an additional notice on the door, which was the general idea that Huitong Bank needed to take stock of it, and temporarily closed for three days. After three days, the bank will be open as usual.

Isn't this nonsense?

Since its opening, Huitong Bank has not closed for one day except for one day of holiday during the Chinese New Year. This is still the publicity stunt they have made to the outside world. Compared with those bank accounts that have to be closed for a few days, Huitong Bank is not only a model of labor, but also a sense of credibility.

However, some people who think of bank deposits and withdrawals are a little unhappy, but no one doubts anything yet. After all, Qingjiangpu knows that Huitong Bank has recently received a huge deal, and it is indeed possible to take a look at it.

Until the afternoon, when someone found that there was no one in and out of the entire front and back yard of Huitong Bank, it seemed like an empty courtyard and there was no one at all, he had to doubt it. Of course, no one expected Huitong Bank to escape for no reason.

But the news of "Huitong Bank's escape from the money" soon spread rapidly.

This is not because the merchants in Qingjiangpu really suspect that Huitong Bank has run away, but because of the rumors released by their peers.

When the River Governor's Office received the news and sent the yamen runners over, it was already sunset, but nearly a thousand people were still surrounded in front of Huitong Bank.

A few of these people came to watch the fun, and some were even sent by Huitong’s peers to provoke trouble.

Most of them are those who have deposits at Huitong Bank.

Everyone looked excited and wanted to smash the door of Huitong Bank to see if they could get their deposits back.

This is human nature.

Humans are a group creature, and blind herd mentality is inevitable for the vast majority of people.

Unfortunately, Huitong Bank's door is completely made of steel and is very strong. Hitting it with your hands will only hurt your hands, and it is difficult to smash it open even with tools. And they are short of money, so who has any tools?

"Haha, who told them to believe in a bank? Now, I'll lose all my money." A voice gloated and said, "No need to look at it, it must be someone who watched the fun."

Those people in the money shop won’t speak like this, they’re so stupid.

"The Governor is here."

This shout finally made everyone excited a little quiet.

Li Fenghan got out of the sedan chair and his legs became a little weak.

I just sent 2.5 million silver dollars to Huitong, so don’t be cheated by Huitong.

The notice posted on the Huitong Bank's door has long been torn to pieces, but he already knew the contents on it. Seeing Huitong Bank's still closed door, the uneasiness in his heart became stronger.

Not to mention anything else, this is not the case with Huitong Bank’s response.

If there is someone inside, then the matter will not develop to the current level, right?

Just show your face to the person inside, everything can be solved, right?

But no one has appeared in it yet, which only means there is no one inside.

But if the bank really takes stock, how could there be no one?

Li Fenghan felt like a mess in his heart.

The money he sent to Huitong Bank alone was 250 taels of silver dollars. What about the banks in other places?

I think I know that if something happens to Huitong Bank, it will definitely not be a branch. If there is a problem in the whole thing, the trouble will be great. As for Huitong Bank's real money escaped, he still doesn't believe it.

"Break the door open."

"yes."

The yamen runners took the sledge hammer and smashed heavily on the iron door lock. The sound of dingdong and dingdong sounded. Although the Huitong Bank gate was strong, the iron lock could not withstand the sledge hammer. After more than ten consecutive times, with a "bang" sound, the iron lock finally opened. The yamen runners carefully pushed the door open.

Seeing the door of Huitong Bank open, the people around were immediately excited and wanted to squeeze into the bank, but were desperately blocked by the yamen runners of the river yamen.

"Sir, look, there is a notice here."

A yamen runner took out a piece of paper from it and handed it to Li Fenghan.

Li Fenghan took the notice and saw that the general idea was that because of the government, Huitong Bank had to temporarily end its business in Qingjiangpu and return to his hometown in Chenzhou. But please rest assured that anyone who has deposits at Huitong Bank can bring a voucher to Chenzhou to handle business. Those who hold Huitong Bank drafts can also withdraw cash from Chenzhou.

If it is inconvenient to go to Chenzhou, please wait patiently for some time. I believe Huitong Bank will have a day to return to Qingjiangpu in the future.

Huitong Bank will pay the interest in this period completely.

Li Fenghan really wished he could faint in an instant.

The reason for the government is that he has returned to Qingjiangpu and farts. As the governor of the river, why didn’t he know that the government wants to deal with Huitong Bank?

This is a business in Fu Chang'an. How could the government do it?

Huitong Bank clearly wants to escape with money. Li Changhong has a big deal, which is clearly a knock on the river yamen before "escaping with money".

Hey, it's not right. Li Changhong does have a big deal to do because he wants to rebel with the Zhao family.

Otherwise, why did Huitong Bank "escape" back to Chenzhou? It took the imperial court's money but ran back to Chenzhou. Is this a waste of this?

Li Fenghan is not a rookie in the officialdom, so how could he not know what this means?

It was his lack of greed that caused heavy losses to the river yamen. How could he make up for the gap of 2.5 million silver dollars and the faults of the "investors"?

It's over, now it's all over.

Li Fenghan's hands and feet were cold and he felt that he was completely finished.

And as he thought before, the banks in Qingjiangpu only scraped away 2.5 million silver dollars from the river yamen. What about all the branch semicolons? And there were so many depositors' money.

I'm afraid it's impossible to hit tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars.

How big can the Zhao family have to do with this strong fund? Li Fenghan felt his eyes turn black and his body shaking whenever he thought about it.

"Sir." Several followers hurriedly supported Li Fenghan.

One of them came to Li Fenghan's ear and whispered: "Sir, go and ask someone to see if there is any money inside. How can they transport so much bank deposits in Qingjiangpu Bank overnight? I didn't hear that a brigade of silver carts were going out yesterday. And even if they transported it out, would they go to Chenzhou by water? This is not safe."

The court urgently informed everyone that it was much faster than going on a waterway. As long as there were people in front of them blocking them along the river, wouldn’t the money be returned to the court?

Li Fenghan instantly came back to his senses and almost said in a roaring voice: "Hurry up, check it out to see if there is any silver left."

"Yes." The yamen runners hurriedly entered the bank again, looking for the bank's warehouse, but the bank warehouse was much stronger than the large iron gate outside, and the yamen runners could not open it for a while.

But the locals in the backyard who had been tied up for almost a day and a night were discovered by the yamen runners.

Of course there are those corpses.

Then the Zhao family rebelled, and the news that Huitong Bank followed could no longer be concealed.
