late Qing Dynasty arrest

Li Guolou's mood is almost the same as that of the bag next to him, the corners of his mouth are slightly pursed, he refrained from snickering, his face has a gloating expression, he can't escape the sharp eyes of Lin Qingxie next to him, he hopes that the dark psychology of Wanjia Bank's downfall is at work , a small person died, and he was as unmoved as those police officers. This case is a businessman who lost a huge amount of money, and has little to do with the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The police were not doing their best with the case.

But Li Guolou quickly adjusted his mentality and abandoned his dirty ideas. To realize his ideals, he must unite the whole nation, do a good job in economic construction, let the Qing Dynasty embark on the road to revival, and the Wanjia ticket office collapsed. There is no benefit to the Qing Dynasty, and the banking industry should not be dominated by foreigners.

Li Guolou asked about the situation of the Wanjia bank account at the time of the incident, and asked about the personal experience of the deceased Jirong in detail. Before the incident, the Wanjia bank account was calm and nothing happened. Nor did he expect that the young fellow would sell out the Wanjia bank account and send himself to his death.

Li Guolou is not a god. Although he found several flaws of the thieves, the insider who guarded Ku Yin died, and the clues were cut off. He had to go to the living room of the Wanjia ticket office first.

Walking in the corridor, Li Guolou lowered his voice and said, "Lord Bao, for the great cause of the nation, and for our future prosperity, we must let the Wanjia Bank pass the hurdle!"

"Well, anyway, you can handle the business as you see fit, just don't marry a rich widow and go home." Bao Yitong did not forget to tease Li Guolou to adjust the tense and serious atmosphere.

"Hey...Master Bao, after the happiness is over, it is a heavy burden. I regret it every day, it's so troublesome." Li Guolou looked at the charming young woman Xie Yunfang in the living room, and he didn't feel heartache. Rest assured, Wanshoulu and Xie Yunfang are already considered friends.

"Hey, Mr. Li, have you cleaned yourself up?" Lin Qingxie next to him, although his official position is low, but he and Li Guolou are old acquaintances, and he teased Li Guolou without hesitation.

"You two, if you put your mind on the case, would it be a waste of a day?" Li Guolou was extremely dissatisfied with the two old comrades-in-arms beside him, his mind was full of dirty thoughts.

Wan Shoulu didn't expect Li Guolou to come, so he was surprised and happy, and walked out of the living room quickly. At this time, he had long lost the arrogance of the past, and took Li Guolou as a life-saving straw, and said shamelessly: "Master Li, you want Help me, I can only rely on you!"

Li Guolou nodded and said: "Wan Dong's family, don't worry, the Wanjia Bank will get through this difficult time!"

"Xiaolou, there will be a run on the Wanjia bank in the past two days. I have the cheek to ask you to come to the bank to borrow 50 taels of silver. You will have no objection." Xie Yunfang held a cup of fragrant tea and handed it to Li Guolou, almond's eyes were bloodshot, as if Li Guolou would pounce on him and suck all his blood if he didn't agree.

Li Guolou said in shock: "Mrs. Xie, the thief stole only 30 taels of silver, and it won't hurt the Wanjia bank. Why borrow such a large amount of money!"

Xie Yunfang had something in her words: "Master Li doesn't calculate accounts like this. I'm afraid that villains will cause trouble. Now those officials are trying to please Mr. Li, and the money stored in our ten thousand bank accounts is shrinking day by day. This time, I'm afraid someone will spread rumors and hurt us!"

Li Guolou bowed his head to drink tea, and promised vaguely, not daring to look at Xie Yunfang's face. I have seen a lot of thick-skinned women, and I have never seen such a black-hearted woman. If I make a straightforward move, I will borrow 50 taels of silver from him. , It's just an emergency, 10 taels of silver has already turned upside down, and the price gap with the price in my heart is too far away. Could it be that the business of Wanjia Bank is in a downturn.

"Xiaolou, we are half fellow villagers, so you can help the fellow villagers." Xie Yunfang concealed her plan and clung to Li Guolou, refusing to leave the living room.

"Master Li, we can still talk about cooperation in the future. This time, I can only ask you to help me with a cheeky face. First, I will lend you 50 taels of silver to Wanjia Bank so that we can get through this crisis." The husband and wife sang together, not giving Li Guolou a chance to breathe.

Li Guolou remained silent, thinking about the solution. If there is a run on bankrupt, lending 50 taels of silver to Wanjia Bank will not solve the crisis. The scale of Wanjia Bank is one of the largest in Qing Dynasty, with [-] banks , The loaned money will not be recovered so quickly, and those customers who have saved at Wanjia bank account will come to withdraw their money after hearing about the theft of Kuyin. Difficulty, in the next period of time, Wanshoulu will borrow millions of silver, or even tens of millions of taels of silver, from various bank offices, banks, and big businessmen in order to survive this crisis.

After thinking clearly, Li Guolou put down the teacup in his hand, and said slowly: "Wan Dong's family, Mrs. Xie, I will definitely help you with this favor, and I will lend you Wanjia's bank account at the minimum annual interest rate of 2%. For a period of time, but there is a mortgage!"

Wan Shoulu was overjoyed when he heard that Li Guolou was willing to lend him 2 taels of silver at an annual interest rate of 50% and for a period of one year. You must know that the general loan has to pay interest every three months, with an annual interest rate of more than 2.5%. It is to pay interest for three months first, and Li Guolou is willing to lend to his colleagues at such a low interest rate, which is giving him a lot of face.

Wanshou Lu bowed his hands and wanted to express his gratitude, but Xie Yunfang interjected: "Master Li, it's a deal, our Wanjia Bank will first ask you to come in and borrow 80 taels of silver from the bank to mortgage the five Wanjia Banks in Tianjin and Baoding." Come in to the bank, Mr. Li, now you can rest assured!"

Li Guolou shook his head and smiled wryly, "Mrs. Xie, Tianjin is a pool of stagnant water. You mortgaged the three tepid bank accounts there to me, and you let me rest assured. How can I rest assured!"

"Hey hey hey." Xie Yunfang smiled slyly and looked at her husband Wanshoulu. She is still very good at doing business. Her incomprehensible tricks and her femininity helped to borrow 200 million taels of silver for Wanjia Bank, the biggest crisis in the history of Wanjia Bank. , about to pass.

Although Li Guolou has just stepped into the banking industry, he still understands the unspoken rules of this line. This time there will be a lot of news that is not good for Wanjia Bank. Will endure a bloody massacre, and his "Please Come to the Bank" will take advantage of the situation and build a financial empire.

Hundreds of police officers have been sent out to inquire about the news. Li Guolou comforted Wanshoulu a few words and prepared to leave. Various news from the capital will follow one after another. Whether it is true or not has to be checked, and it will take a day to figure it out.

Li Guolou and Bao Yitong left the Wanjia ticket office together, unwilling to spend time at the scene of the crime, Bao Yitong pointed to the teahouse opposite and said, "Master Li, your old brothers are on the opposite side, so stay here Command, I happen to be going to the Yamen of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so give me the notes!"

Li Guolou was already tired of the wrangling among the various factions in the court, and when he went to the prime minister's office, he held meetings and gave speeches to win all the forces into his camp, and he also had to endure the pungent smell of princes and nobles smoking cigarettes.

"Okay, Mr. Bao, I'll save face for you." Li Guolou couldn't let go of his love for solving crimes, put his job aside, and handed Bao Yi a note to Prince Gong.

In fact, Li Guolou didn't want to leave the scene of the crime, but he didn't want to stay in the Wanjia bank. At the same invitation, they brought Ma Dequan and other four guards into the teahouse.

Ma Dequan greeted his old colleagues brazenly, showing off the brand-new military uniform he was wearing. Li Guolou lowered his head in thought, focusing on the case, and even ignored the greetings from the people next to him. Get used to it, it's no surprise.

Suddenly Li Guolou thought of a loophole and almost forgot it. Li Guolou turned his head and said, "Gao Yao arrests the head, quickly take me to the room where the deceased Ji Rong lived." After speaking, Li Guolou went to the Wanjia ticket office And Xing, secretly ashamed, and said to be a gentleman, was confused by Xie Yunfang, and even forgot the clues to solve the case.

Gao Yao Wu Yun asked suspiciously: "Master Li, aren't all the remains of the deceased Ji Rong here!"

"No, I want to see the room where Ji Rong lived." Li Guolou found no valuable clues in the pile of Ji Rong's clothes and daily necessities, but if he didn't go to see the deceased Ji Rong's residence, he would always I can't let go.

The room Ji Rong lives in is in the west wing of the courtyard behind the Wanjia ticket office. There are shopkeepers, clerks, bodyguards, and servants living in the ticket office. There are usually at least fifteen people. There are two small beds in the small room, and Ji Rong usually sleeps There is a bed on the right, another man in this room, Wan Kangyong, who looks old and stable, he introduced Ji Rong's abnormal behavior in his daily life, but these bad habits cannot be used as clues to solve the case, and he deals with money all day long It is normal for a person to say a few big words and have unreasonable thoughts. After leaving his hometown for thousands of miles, who would not want to sit on the throne of the shopkeeper and return to his hometown in the future.

A small room of less than ten square meters, where you can’t see him all day long. This is the boring life of the deceased Jirong. The cold mattress, the roommates you can’t get along with, and the life no one cares about. As for the promotion, it’s still out of reach. People who can't live in loneliness, are tempted by others, want to make a fortune, but step on a dead end.

There are very few holidays in the bank. Except for the annual family leave, there are only two holidays a month. The deceased Jirong has worked in the headquarters and branch of Wanjia Bank in the capital for five years, and his income is much higher than ordinary people. The dividends are at least five or sixty taels of silver, but looking at Ku Yin who has tens of thousands of taels of silver all day long creates a greedy desire, but what is the triggering factor? Jirong was lured by theft to this road of no return, who will play the decision Factors, except money is a woman, Jirong must have a good woman in the capital, and the token of love given to Jirong by that woman was also taken away by the murderer.

Li Guolou searched on the three-foot-long wooden bed. He took apart the quilt and pillow. A red sachet fell out of the pillow and fell on the floor with a "pop", which immediately attracted a lot of exclamations. .

Gao Yao Wu Yun rushed forward, picked up the sachet to look around, and sighed disappointedly: "Hey, I didn't write my name!"

Li Guolou took the sachet that concealed countless secrets. On the exquisitely crafted sachet, there were only two blooming peonies embroidered with gold silk on the front and back, and a residual musky scent. He put it on his nose and smelled it carefully. Hearing this, he hurriedly said: "Captain Yao, buy me all kinds of musk raw materials from the rouge pollen store in the capital for a penny. I want to know which store made this musk. The smell is so familiar! "

Yao Cuo looked at Li Guolou who was contemplating hard, cupped his fists and said, "Zha, Mr. Li, once you come, I won't have enough manpower!"

Li Guolou squinted and said: "Captain Yao, the case was solved, 3 taels of silver, but everyone wants to share it, I want to collect all the incense powder in the capital today, this is a death order!"

"Zha, I'll make arrangements right now." Yao Cuo left with a smile on his face. He believed in his heart that Li Guolou would be able to solve the case. With so many subtle clues, he would always find the thief if he followed the clues. All the gangsters in the capital were mobilized.

Li Guolou kept putting the sachet under the tip of his nose to smell the smell. His nose was born with a keen sense of smell. Where did he smell this faint musky smell? Which beautiful girl has this smell? , Li Guolou was thinking in his mind, and used the method of elimination to exclude all the women he knew one by one. He really knew too many women. Li Guolou couldn't remember for a while, and kept walking back and forth in the small room , Which Meijiao Niang likes to use this musk, Li Guolou thought about the Meijiao Niang he knew in Fengyue place, the women in Fengyue place, most of the powders used were mixed by himself, this familiar musk fragrance, It seems to have been left by his side.
