As soon as Fang Shaokang saw Qian Ruoyu's interest, he quickly started chatting.
"That's natural. Otherwise, why would I hate the Capital Chamber of Commerce so much!"
"There is no such thing as love without reason, and there is no hatred without reason! This Beijing Chamber of Commerce has gone too far. They even sent people to our Ruyi Bank to cause trouble just yesterday, demanding that our Ruyi Bank pay a large sum of money!"
"Yesterday, Ruyi Bank required us to pay four thousand taels of silver as membership dues. We had already ignored them long before that. As a result, they sent people over to cause trouble almost every month. They even injured two of us yesterday.
guest."
After hearing these words, Qian Ruoyu nodded.
Qian Ruoyu also didn't expect that the Beijing Chamber of Commerce would be so arrogant and arrogant. They would even come to cause trouble for Ruyi Bank as large as this one. No wonder Ma Taiyuan still had to hand over such a large sum of money.
"Fortunately, we paid to take care of the two guests. Otherwise, I'm afraid the matter would have been unfinished, and it would have cost us nearly a few hundred taels of silver."
"Tell me, is this Jingcheng Chamber of Commerce a good thing? In addition, the banknotes and silver convoys that our Ruyi Bank escorted to various places were also attacked. If this has nothing to do with the Jingcheng Chamber of Commerce, I would have been nothing.
You won’t believe it!”
Hearing these words, Qian Ruoyu nodded again and asked at the same time.
"The Chamber of Commerce in the capital is so arrogant. Isn't it possible that no one can control them?"
Fang Shaokang smiled and shook his head, with a wry smile on his face.
"There's no way, there's absolutely no way!"
"It is said that the Capital Chamber of Commerce has someone from the imperial court, and they are in cahoots with people from the Ministry of Revenue. Whenever we want to retaliate against them, people from the Ministry of Revenue will come to us, take away a few of our guys, and imprison them.
Three to five days would literally kill us!"
Qian Ruoyu suddenly understood.
It seems that the Beijing Chamber of Commerce is not just as powerful as it appears on the surface, but even colludes with the Ministry of Finance behind the scenes.
The power behind it is so great, no wonder the Beijing Chamber of Commerce is not afraid at all, and even keeps sucking blood.
Qian Ruoyu never thought that the Beijing Chamber of Commerce was really not a small group. No wonder it could have such a huge scale on Cross Street. Even Ruyi Bank was not on the four sides of Cross Street, but in it.
On a street.
While the two were chatting, Nasturtium had already found an independent yard in the backyard.
This yard is located in the middle of the backyard. Nasturtium took its fancy at first glance. This is obviously not an ordinary place.
Because in this independent courtyard, there are rockeries, streams, and a pavilion. It looks like the owner's courtyard no matter how you look at it.
What's more, there are two people guarding the door of the courtyard, and some broken glass is hung on the four walls of the courtyard to prevent anyone from trespassing or sneaking in.
It was precisely because of this that Golden Lotus sneaked in secretly and directly bypassed the two people guarding the door.
The broken glass on the wall had no way of catching the nasturtium. The nasturtium just grabbed the hole in the wall with two fingers and climbed over the wall.
After going around the wall, Golden Lotus saw several small houses in the courtyard, and one of the main houses was obviously occupied by people, so Golden Lotus approached from the wall.
For Golden Lotus, sneaking into such a thing is simply unmentionable. Golden Lotus can enter the Ouchi Palace at will. How can there be a river embankment to enter such a place?
This level of defense is a joke to Golden Lotus.
After arriving near the ancestral house, Golden Lotus saw the people inside through the window, and was immediately startled.
Because the person in the room was exactly the same person that I saw in the courtyard, almost exactly the same.
Jin Lianhua immediately confirmed in her heart that it was indeed the boss Fang in Ruyi Bank. He had just complained of illness. He probably didn't want to see outsiders. In this case, it was very likely that he was the big shopkeeper that Fang Dingbang said.
After confirming this, Nasturtium did not leave immediately. Instead, she stayed in place for a while, still having to observe the place in detail.
At this time, Fang Dingguo stood up, walked to the door, and shouted outside.
One of the guards at the door quickly ran in and said in front of him.
"Sir, what can I do?"
"Go down and tell everyone to take the medicine I gave you before. Those who don't have enough to eat will work in our bank for the time being. After a while, they will return to the bank to work in the bank."
.”
"Those who have taken the medicine can go to the front counter to do their work, and then buy more rice at home."
The guard who heard these words nodded immediately and ran out.
After receiving this news, Golden Lotus climbed over the wall again and returned to Qian Ruoyu's side again.
Fang Shaokang was talking to Qian Ruoyu eloquently at this time.
"Well, you are right, young lady! This Beijing Chamber of Commerce is really arrogant and lawless. They should have been taught a lesson long ago. But don't worry, we will teach the Capital Chamber of Commerce a lesson soon. What do the people of the Capital Chamber of Commerce know?
That’s why it’s called Ruyi Bank!”
Qian Ruoyu also smiled slightly.
At this moment, the six store waiters had already counted all the silver coins brought by Qian Ruoyu and Jin Lianhua, and even took out two pieces of silver and placed them in front of Qian Ruoyu.
"Miss, this is the extra silver you have. There are six extra taels in total."
Qian Ruoyu was slightly shocked. She had never expected that Ruyi Bank would provide such attentive service. Even if it was an extra six taels of silver, it would have been given to her.
After all, the silver Qian Ruoyu took out was close to the official silver, and they were all of the same weight, and some were even much higher.
Therefore, there is actually no problem if there are six taels more than the few thousand taels of silver.
After Qian Ruoyu accepted it, he smiled and said to Fang Shaokang in front of him.
"I didn't expect that your bank would behave like this. It really makes me very satisfied. This time we have cooperated with you so far. I am very happy. If nothing happens, we will leave first."
Qian Ruoyu walked out of Ruyi Bank with Golden Lotus, but at this moment Fang Shaokang's expression changed slightly.
"Follow the two of them and see which house the eldest lady is. I am a bit interested in that woman, but I must investigate the details clearly!"
A waiter next to him nodded quickly after hearing this.
And just after Qian Ruoyu and Jin Lianhua left, Qian Ruoyu asked.
"How's the situation? Have you found the big shopkeeper?"
Golden Lotus nodded slightly, but reminded Qian Ruoyu.
"Mother, I'm afraid now is not a good time to talk about this matter. Someone is following us behind us."
Hearing these words, Qian Ruoyu just nodded slightly, and then handed everything over to Golden Lotus.
