Chapter 2732 The Capital (85)

Before he finished speaking, he felt dizzy and a little nauseous.Li Rufeng hurriedly said: "Chief, the effects of the medicine haven't worn off yet. You'd better drink this soup first and have a good rest. Now that you're out of danger, there's no rush for this moment."

Leng Ningyun nodded feebly: "You are right."

Li Rufeng returned to the locker room and asked someone to deliver the letter while dealing with the matter at hand.The injured had to call a doctor, the two dead bodyguards had to buy coffins, and they had to find a place to report to the government for an autopsy before they could be buried.He Liansheng has a strong reputation and strong foundation in the capital, so this is not difficult, but the required procedures must not be omitted at all.

While he was busy, an escort quietly came over and whispered: "Chief escort, Xiao Bazi is dying. Do you want to go and take a look."

"I'm going over here."

His heart tightened, and he immediately put down what he was doing and went to a side room in the backyard.

Xiao Bazi was leaning on the kang, his upper body half naked. Although it had been bandaged, there was a large amount of blood on the bandage. Next to the kang, the shopkeeper's wife was sitting, constantly wiping the blood from the corners of his mouth with a hot towel.

"How to say?"

"The meridians of the lungs have been injured, and there is nothing Hua Tuo can do." The doctor whispered, "If he hadn't used red wound medicine to temporarily stop the bleeding, he wouldn't have been able to delay this."

"Can't the bleeding stop now?"

"Yes, the meridians are injured. The best red wound medicine is useless." The red wound doctor said helplessly, "If you have anything to say, please say it quickly. I see that he is still a little worried."

Li Rufeng nodded and sent the doctor away.Come to the Kang.The shopkeeper's wife said that Xiao Bazi was delirious, sometimes sober and sometimes confused.

"Did he say anything?"

"Tell me you want to see your godmother."

"anything else?"

"It said his parents were in the yard asking him to come over." The shopkeeper's wife said anxiously, "I'm afraid this kid is about to leave. He doesn't even have any clothes."

"Go ahead and talk to the shopkeeper to prepare clothes and wrapping materials for Xiao Bazi, and add another one to the coffin."

Originally, he still had a glimmer of hope for Xiao Bazi's injury, but when he saw blood foam coming from his mouth, he knew that there was no way to save him.

He called out in a low voice: "Xiao Bazi! Xiao Bazi! I am escort leader Li."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Bazi actually opened his eyes with this call. His eyes were bright and bright. When he saw it was Li Rufeng, a surprised expression appeared on his face.

"Chief escort!" He whispered, "Master Leng..."

"Peace." Li Rufeng nodded and said gently, "What do you think?"

"I'm much more comfortable than before. I'm breathing smoothly." As he spoke, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth again. Li Rufeng quickly wiped it for him, "I dreamed about my parents just now. Let me go over there. I said there's no one over there. Gao is great. Sanniangzi told me that Lingao is a paradise on earth... the people have food to eat and are not bullied... my parents are even angry..." At this point, he actually showed a smile.

"Yes, yes," Ren Li Rufeng was a tough guy, and the corners of his eyes were slightly wet. He knew that he was getting better at this moment, and said, "When you get better, let's go to Lingao to see..." He calmed down. , said, "You are the first to save Shopkeeper Leng this time! If it weren't for you, Elder Leng would have been injured by a thief. Liao Sanniang would have been very happy when she found out. It was not in vain for her to accept you as her adopted son." "

"I'm just afraid... cough cough cough..." Xiao Bazi coughed up a lot of blood foam again, looking a little sluggish, "I'm just afraid, afraid of losing face to my godmother..."

Li Rufeng helped him wipe away the blood: "Don't worry, she will have something to brag about now that she has you as her adopted son."

Xiao Bazi smiled and said: "That's good, that's good." He closed his eyes and said, "I'm tired. This time I'm the first to do it..." After saying that, his voice gradually became lower and there was no movement.

Li Rufeng sat beside him for a long time and saw his complexion gradually darkening.I tried to breathe with my hands, but found that I had expired.He sighed and stood up, just as the shopkeeper's wife came in with clothes.

"Find two people, get a basin of hot water, wash him and then change him."

"This child, what a pity."

"Being a bodyguard and a sniper. This is not the end!" Li Rufeng lamented, "It's just a matter of risking one's life in exchange for the noble's money and safety! Let's have a good pregnancy in the next life."

The news that Leng Ningyun had been rescued was passed to all groups operating in and around the capital within 24 hours, as well as to Lingao and Guangzhou.

It's a good thing that people are back safely.Originally, this matter ended here.Even if the mastermind behind the scenes was not found, the Foreign Intelligence Agency had no intention of digging deeper and had to "eliminate all evil".After all, in the current historical environment, this kind of thing is not new, and there is no need to spend too much manpower and material resources to eliminate it.As for the intricate relationship, I don’t even bother to figure it out.

The findings of Min Zhanlian's team excited the nerves of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau and the Political Security Bureau.Because this matter not only involves political conspiracy, but also involves the "Shi Weng Group" that has long troubled the Senate.In particular, there is direct evidence that the Shi Weng Group is the mastermind behind the kidnapping.

As a result, the original elder kidnapping case was immediately upgraded to an extremely important case.Under the order of the Government Affairs Council, a number of capable personnel were dispatched from the Foreign Intelligence Bureau and the Political Security Bureau to the capital to conduct investigations.Unlike the last time when no elder was dispatched, this time it was decided to assign a elder to go directly to the capital to direct the operation. Through the clues exposed in the case, the Shi Weng Group could be wiped out.

But for Leng Ningyun, who had just escaped from danger, his most important thing was to restore Delong's business reputation.

After he was kidnapped, Wu Kaidi used the method of "active seizure" to prevent Delong from being bankrupted due to a run.It can be said to be a wonderful move.

However, the sequelae are also quite serious. Although the seizure was caused by the government, as an operator, the situation caused by such a situation can be said to be "poor management", which is a very serious blow to business reputation.This is directly reflected in the silver notes issued by Delong. The exchange price on the market has dropped to only one-seventh of the face value.And it's falling every day.There is a tendency to be worthless.

For the current plan, the first is to immediately lift the lockdown, resume all exchange transactions, and re-establish market confidence; the second is to mobilize enough money to meet the next wave of runs.

The latter worries Leng Ningyun even more.Delong has been in business for many years, and there are as many as 50 million taels of deposit certificates and bank notes that have not been redeemed.After opening the door, many depositors were just worried about Delong's stability and would inevitably come to the door to make a run.

He learned from Wu Kaidi that Shanxi House had purchased more than 30 Delong silver notes at a low price during his kidnapping.Including other depositors, a rough estimate shows that once a run occurs, it will be difficult to survive without [-] taels of silver.

The money they have now is less than half of that amount.We need to raise more money.

"The 10 taels of silver deposit from Eunuch Yang will be withdrawn as soon as the door opens." Wu Kaidi smiled bitterly, "He has already sent someone to greet me. In fact, he can only redeem 5 taels. .”

Leng Ningyun frowned and said nothing.Although he didn't have a ledger at hand, he knew the bank's operating situation clearly, and he tentatively asked, "Can you ask the head office for a favor and transfer some money from Tianjin and Denglai?"

"I'm afraid the head office can't do anything, let alone the branches in Tianjin and Denglai. Even if it gives me all its treasury in Guangzhou, it won't be able to raise 15 taels of silver."

"How about the reserve?" Wu Kai said.

"It's difficult for them too." Although Leng Ningyun is not in Guangzhou, the Reserve Bank's current excessive printing of silver dollar certificates is very clear, and it can be said that it is too busy to take care of itself.

But this cannot be said to Wu Kai, lest it affect his almost blind confidence in the Senate.

The two of them thought about it over and over in the study, wondering where they could raise money.Suddenly, Wu Kaidi said: "I do have a way, but it's not on the stage."

"What method?" Leng Ningyun asked curiously.

"Didn't you say last time that all kinds of banknotes issued by Ming Dynasty banks are not worth mentioning to prevent counterfeiting?"

Leng Ningyun was a very smart person and immediately understood what he meant.

"Are you talking about forging the money receipt for the house in Shanxi?"

"That's right! Let's make a few and show them to them. Don't let them come to cash in, otherwise if millions of Shanxi House notes are put out, we will all be destroyed!"

"It sounds like a solution, but how do you know if the person coming to exchange is from Shanxi House?"

Wu Kaidi was speechless for a moment.

"This method can only be used when you are desperate." Leng Ningyun shook his head.

"Then what else can we do?"

"There is only one way." Leng Ningyun said, "Go and negotiate with them."

"negotiation?"

"Negotiation." Leng Ningyun affirmed.

"But this time you are in trouble, and this Shanxi house is also involved. Now that you are back safely, they have the opportunity to kill Delong. How can they agree? This is seeking the skin of a tiger."

"What you said makes sense. But this time I escaped danger and came back. The conspiracy went bankrupt. It must have been a big blow to the old Xiers. In the final analysis, the old Xiers are just seeking money. There is no risk in doing things that add insult to injury. . If they want to fight with real swords and guns, they may not have the courage."

Jian Wu Kaidi still didn't understand, so he continued: "Think about it, how much power did they secretly use to kidnap me this time? I just came back like this, and I want to continue to open a bank, so they are not afraid that I will join them. Falling out? I am not a businessman from Guangdong, but the person standing behind me is a thief!"

"That's right. This is the same as what you meant by making fake notes. If you push me into the river, I will drag you into the water and finish with you!" Leng Ningyun said fiercely, "Now this table is just overturned. Half. If they really take down Delong, aren't they afraid of revenge from the thieves? We'll also invite them to be the God of Wealth."

At this moment, Wu Kaidi suddenly realized that the clouds were clearing, and he said happily: "Proprietor, you are right! What are we afraid of?! In the worst case, we can call the special reconnaissance team to uncover their blankets!"
