Chapter 1432 Revenge
Wan Qixie blinked and said, "If I'm not wrong, the loss of 150 million is just that the borrower can't be found, but they have real estate mortgaged to Baoji Cabinet, that's right!"

Shi Guangping shook his head and smiled wryly: "If this is the case, the matter is simple. The total value of these properties was more than 300 million guan ten days ago, and now there are only less than 50 guan left. Real estate stores, isn’t this a loss of 200 million coins?”

"If the market picks up, I think the capital should be able to rise back."

"Is the market recovering?"

Shi Guangping sneered and said, "Don't think that Xiangguo Wan is so easy to fool me. You and I know whether the market will pick up. Now it's not just a matter of plummeting prices. The key is who will take over and who will I sell these properties to?" ?”

Wan Qixi's face was a little ugly, and he said coldly: "Don't talk so much, it means that the 100 million Guanbaoji cabinet will not be borrowed, that's what it means!"

The other party represented the Son of Heaven, and Shi Guangping didn't dare to speak so coldly. He sighed and said, "It's not that Baoji Cabinets didn't borrow it, it's because they lost all their capital. We have exhausted all our reserve money, and the reserve money is the capital. Now not only is the capital gone, I also borrowed 30 yuan from Pingjiang Mansion and Yuezhou each for emergency. This is the customer's money, that is to say, I still owe it. The guest has 60 guan, how can I lend 100 million guan to the imperial court?"

Wan Qixie exchanged glances with Liu Chen, the Duzhi doctor who came with him, and neither of them could hide the disappointment in their eyes.

Wan Qixie finally gave up on borrowing money. He knew that Baoji Cabinet was just like himself. There were only a bunch of houses and shops left. Without the money, it was just an empty shell. The wealth in the inner treasury was stored by the powerful. , How dare he move.

I can only go to the other two cabinet shops to try my luck, especially the Jiangnan cabinet shop, which is opened by a Jiangnan family. Maybe they are interested in the houses and shops in Lin'an.

Walking out of the shop and coming to the spacious imperial street, Wan Qixie had no choice but to say to Liu Chen, the doctor of Duzhi: "The treasure record can't be borrowed, and the hope of the other two is even less."

"You can try it out. If you can't borrow it, it's not Xiangguo's responsibility."

"How could it not be my responsibility? Everyone wants to put the responsibility on me, and I'm ready to quit."

Wan Qixi sighed, and was about to get into the carriage when a palace guard on horseback rushed over. The horse was running fast and passed by Wan Qixi's carriage. There were four knight guards around Wan Qixi's carriage. , They all thought it was a guard who came out from the palace to deliver a letter, so they didn't take it to heart.

Unexpectedly, the guard suddenly raised his crossbow and shot an arrow at Wan Qixi while running. The crossbow arrow was precise and extremely powerful. The crossbow shot through the forehead and penetrated into the brain, and Wan Tuxi fell to the ground with a scream.

The guards ran away non-stop, Liu Chen and the four knights were stunned, they hurried up to help Wan Qixie, Wan Qixie twitched all over, seeing that it was going to die, and seeing that the murderous guard had already run away, the four of them shouted anxiously : "Come on! There are assassins, come on!"

The people in the cabinet rushed out and hurriedly carried Wan Qixie into the cabinet, and the four knights rode to chase after him. Where could they catch up, the murderous guards had disappeared without a trace.

Before the doctor arrived, Wan Qixi swallowed his breath.

The assassination of Wan Qixie caused a sensation in the government and the public. The emperor Zhao Gou was very angry and ordered the Meihuawei to investigate the murderer. Soon, the news of Wan Qixie's assassination spread like wildfire, causing an uproar in Lin'an City.

Lu Gang, the special envoy of the King of Yong, immediately submitted a statement to Qin Hui, the Prime Minister, stating that the assassination of Wan Qixi had nothing to do with the Kingdom of Yong. He also condemned this shameless assassination in the statement.

The next day, the "Beijing News" published the news of Wan Qixi's assassination on the front page, and described the whole process of the assassination in detail. The collapse in real estate prices has something to do with it.

In the Changfeng Teahouse, Lu Gang slowly said to Wang Mu: "Zhao Gou and his ministers did not really realize the seriousness of the plummeting housing prices in Lin'an, which actually seriously damaged the vital interests of many dignitaries in the Song Dynasty."

"I feel the same!"

Wang Mu sighed and said, "The house I lived in was originally His Highness's mansion. Back then, His Highness sold it to Mr. Zheng for [-] guan, and last year it was estimated to sell for [-] guan, and the mu price was [-] guan. A villager told me that the value of that house is now at most [-] guan, and it has dropped by [-] times.

Lu Gang nodded, "Over the years, the dignitaries have spent most of their money on land in Lin'an, and they have also pushed up the land price in Lin'an step by step. After Fujian Road was lost, Lingnan has been separated, and the imperial court actually only has In the south of the Yangtze River, Lin'an can't afford the high housing prices at all. In addition, the court has attacked the merchants, and the large and medium merchants are basically forced to leave. It will be a matter of time before they collapse. Wan Qixie is selling residential shops at the right time. In the words of His Highness, It was the straw that broke the camel's back."

Wang Mu smiled slightly and said, "The last straw that broke the camel's back. This sentence is brilliant. I will use this sentence as the headline on the front page tomorrow!"

Lu Gang smiled and continued: "The price of houses and shops has plummeted, which has reduced the most important wealth of the powerful by more than ten times in an instant. These powerful people are strongly dissatisfied and will definitely express it, but the assassination of Wan Qixi is just the beginning. They will definitely take revenge on the emperor in other ways."

"In what way?"

"do not know!"

Lu Gang picked up the teacup and said leisurely: "But I believe, it must be the revenge that made the emperor Zhao Gou feel heartbroken!"

In the imperial study room, Zhao Gou stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, his eyes full of anxiety. Behind him, Qin Hui bowed and said, "Lu Gang has already handed over the official statement to the minister, declaring that the assassination case has nothing to do with them, although They have official statements, but that doesn't make them free from suspicion, and Wei Chen still has reservations about their statements."

Xu Xiantu said coldly: "It's already a critical time, why should Mr. Qin confuse the public, cover up the truth, and continue to mislead His Majesty? If you continue to mislead Your Majesty, it will ruin the event!"

Qin Hui said angrily: "Where did I mislead Your Majesty? Is it true that the Western Army has no suspicion at all? They assassinated the Wanqi Xiangguo at a critical moment, mediating conflicts, and causing civil strife in the Song Dynasty. Isn't this in their interest?"

Zhao Gou frowned, turned around and asked Zhang Jun, "What does Zhang Xiangguo think? Is it true that what Qin Xiangguo said is that Chen Qing is instigating civil strife in Song Dynasty?"

He knew that Qin Hui and Xu Xiantu had a bad relationship, and they would quarrel every time, and the two were seriously emotional. It would be more reliable to ask Zhang Jun at this time.

Zhang Jun bowed and said: "What Qin Xiangguo said is also a little possibility, but this possibility is not great. The greater possibility is that the real estate price in Lin'an has plummeted, which has seriously damaged the vital interests of certain forces. They assassinated Wan Teng Xiangguo vents his anger!"
