Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 422 The Confidence of King Wuyue
A tiny weird Gu worm crawled out of the nostrils of the three of them quickly. At the same time, Ye Chen took out the black gourd from his bosom and released three black soldier ant Gu. He wanted to return to the bodies of the three people, but the black soldier ant Gu was a strange species among the Gu insects. It was as fast as a gust of wind, and caught up with the three nameless Gu insects in an instant, biting them to death and devouring them in twos or twos.Then the three black soldier ants, Gu and insects occupied the dove's nest and got into the bodies of the three of them.

In the carriage, Ye Chen frowned and thought, while Yu Qingyan sat quietly opposite him.

Mr. Zheng, Mr. Yi, and Mr. Zheng's concubines are all core members of the holy hall. Among them, Mr. Zheng is the big shopkeeper of Jiangnan Trading Company in Jinling City, and Mr. Yi is the big shopkeeper of Jiangnan Trading Company throughout the Southern Tang Dynasty.Of course, it is impossible for them to be such easy-to-handle characters who really dominate the Jiangnan Trading Company.

Therefore, Ye Chen just learned from them that the Holy Church was going to attack the Wuyue Bank and that a large amount of cash had been mobilized.But exactly how to do it, they don't know.

Go back to the Chen family compound and enter through the side door.Passing through a garden, I met a servant who greeted Ye Chen, Ye Chen suddenly said softly: "Tell Hu Sanguang, the Holy Church is going to attack the Wuyue Bank, and only knows that a huge amount of cash has been mobilized. What kind of conspiracy is there?" I don’t know, let him inform Wuyue Bank and help them take precautions.”

The servant's expression remained unchanged, as if he didn't hear what Ye Chen said, and after saluting as usual, he backed away.

More than a month ago, before Ye Chen and Yu Qingyan pretended to be Chen Qing and his wife came to Jinling, due to various coincidences or accidental reasons, seven or eight servants and nurses were dismissed from the Jinling Chen Family Courtyard. .As a big family like the Chen family, ordinary servants have fixed duties, and when the person is gone, someone needs to do some daily things, so the Chen family recruited some servants from various channels. No one knows, this The seven or eight new guards who entered the Chen Family Courtyard are all members of the Huaxia Weifu Intelligence Department.Even, the famous person just now was Feng Zhiyuan, the head of the intelligence analysis department of the intelligence department.

The speed at which the song "Reminiscence of Homeland" spread was incalculable. In short, after a few days, people began to hear people talking about it in teahouses and taverns.For Chen Qing, who Ye Chen pretended to be, there have been many discussions about affirming his talent and learning about his next poem. After the talented Fu Ruojin has become the biggest laughing stock in Jinling these days, no one will say that he copied words. , a small number of people even pinned the praise of "Jinling's No. [-] Talented Scholar" on his head.Of course, there are also most people who say that there is only one poem and one word. Although it can be called excellent, especially the song "Reminiscence of Homeland" has reached the level of the eternal masterpiece, but after all, the number is too small, maybe it is Chen It took Qing several years to carve out these two poems.Therefore, most Jinling talents still have various dissatisfaction with this sudden rise of foreign talents, and there are many people who want to challenge the poetry competition.It's just that after Ye Chen's Xiangyuelou literary meeting, he hardly participated in the poetry and literary meeting, even if someone sent an invitation, he would ignore it.

No matter what Jinling City and even the entire Southern Tang scholars think of Chen Qing dressed by Ye Chen, Ye Chen's fame has attracted the attention and attention of certain people, and thus the goal of having the opportunity to contact certain people has been achieved.And, as time goes by, it is fermenting or exerting force.

On the second day after "Recalling Home Country" was born in Xiangyue Tower, Liu Guangyuan, the largest tea merchant in the Southern Tang Dynasty and the head of the Liu family who was engaged in brothel business, held a banquet in his yard for "Chen Qing". Chen Qing said at the time that she would bring her wife with her.Liu Guangyuan naturally would not disagree.

In addition to Liu Guangyuan, Liu Zongyang and two other children of the Liu family who had the reputation of scholar were eating at the same table that night.After drinking for three rounds, there was a little episode, that Chen Dacai said that he had a very important matter to report to Liu Guangyuan, and motioned him to turn away others.Liu Guangyuan didn't let Liu Zongyang and the others avoid him, but just let a few of his servants go out, and then closed the doors and windows.

After the hall was quiet for a while, it was opened again. The servants of the Liu family didn't know what Ye Chen told their Patriarch, or what happened in the box.Anyway, it looks like business as usual.

This matter is naturally the biggest matter for the Liu family, but it is just a trivial matter for Ye Chen today.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the holy hall was too difficult to deal with, and Ye Chen had Gu worms available, otherwise, with his current status, no one would agree to him lurking in Jinling City, the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty.You know, Lou Yanming, Yufeng, and Zhao Guangyi are the people who want to kill Ye Chen the most in the world, and who have such ability. In addition, there should be Li Yu, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty.Among them, Lou Yanming and Li Yu are the masters of Jinling City and even the entire Southern Tang Dynasty.Just imagine, if Ye Chen's identity is exposed, he will be surrounded by the armed forces of the entire Southern Tang court and all the masters of Maitreya Sect.Even though the Huaxia Weifu had made some arrangements in Jinling City and even the territory of Southern Tang these days, and even Yu Daoxiang chose to stay despite his elder brother Emperor Khitan's illness for another month or two, it was precisely because of this that he was worried.

Quietly, in places invisible to ordinary people, some subtle changes are taking place in some areas of the entire Jiangnan business community.

Today, in a brothel under the Liu family, Liu Zongyang invited Ye Chen over to have fun.Later, Liu Zongyang met a few friends in the brothel, and invited them into the private room.

No matter how many people with various identities entered the entire brothel, at this moment, in the box where no one approached within five feet outside, besides Ye Chen and Liu Zongyang, there were two other people——Hu Sanguang and a A middle-aged scholar dressed as a teacher.The name of this middle-aged scholar was Su Zengshu, and he was the confidant of Liu Jinyuan, the envoy of the Southern Palace of Huaxia Weifu.It was also the master of the Dajiang Gang, a think tank-like figure, and a talent.Ye Chen wanted to do something big in Jiangnan, how could he leave Nanfu.In fact, under the leadership of Liu Jinyuan these days, Nanfu has quietly made a lot of arrangements.Liu Jinyuan was going to be in charge of the Dajiang Gang, and Su Zengshu was the person responsible for conveying Ye Chen's orders and contacting Hu Sanguang.

Hu Sanguang took a look at Liu Zongyang, who brought them in to see Liu Zongyang just now, and knew that this person must have been controlled by the Chief Commissioner. Yanming thought it was impossible to approach within five feet without a sound.Thinking of this, Hu Sanguang no longer had any scruples, and said in a low voice: "My lord, there are two unusual things about Wuyue Bank recently. First, since mid-September, wealthy merchants and grain gentry from all over the south of the Yangtze River have deposited cash in Wuyue Bank. The number of people is increasing day by day. If you just look at a few days, it can only be said to be a coincidence. However, people of various identities go to Wuyue Bank to deposit cash every day for half a month. So far, Wuyue Bank There are already 150 million taels of silver deposited in each branch. Second, several large commercial banks behind Wuyue Bank have serious problems due to various reasons, and they all need a large amount of silver to rescue them."

Ye Chen frowned slightly, and said, "What's the reaction from Wuyue Bank?"

Hu Sanguang quickly took out a secret letter from his pocket, handed it to Ye Chen, and said: "This subordinate is about to report this matter to the lord, and the third day after the lord asked the subordinate to send a letter to Wuyue Bank. , King Wuyue sent someone to send a secret letter to your lord."

Curious, Ye Chen opened the secret letter and read it on the spot.

There were no greetings or reminiscences, only the content read: According to the information sent by Brother Ye to the Huaxia Weifu these days, my younger brother already knows what Jiangnan Bank and Jiangnan Commercial Firm intend to do.If there was no information from Brother Ye to remind him, the Wuyue bank and the businesses left by his family would probably be destroyed this time.But now thanks to Brother Ye's help, he has already guessed the other party's conspiracy, but the younger brother is sure to deal with the difficulties in front of him.Although the shopping mall is like a battlefield, Brother Ye is not as good as the younger brother in terms of money and business, so Brother Ye only needs to help the younger brother with two things.First, let the Huaxia Weifu help pass the inquired information to the younger brother as soon as possible.Second, Brother Ye helped the little brother raise 100 million taels of silver within half a month, and reached Hangzhou City.In the end, if Brother Ye can find out some core information about the Holy Church in the first time, and have the ability to snatch things from the Holy Church in the river outside Jinling City.That little brother is 100% sure that Brother Ye's 300 million taels of silver will become 300 million taels of silver.Of course, whether Brother Ye can bring back the [-] million taels of silver under the siege and interception of the Southern Tang Navy and Maitreya masters, that's not my worry.

After reading the secret letter, Ye Chen's eyes flickered, and he was silent in thought.

This time, he took advantage of his fake death opportunity to sneak into the hinterland of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and acted in Jinling City under the eyes of Li Yu and Lou Yanming, but he had the lowest purpose and the greatest purpose.The lowest purpose is just one——from the mouth of a certain figure in the temple who controls the Jiangnan Commercial Bank and the Bank, or through the flow of money or business transactions of the Jiangnan Commercial Bank, to find out those powerful forces or figures in the Song Dynasty who are related to the Holy Church.Then after going back, wipe out all these people.And the biggest purpose is to see whether it can severely damage the Jiangnan Commercial Bank and Jiangnan Bank, and destroy the foundation for the development and growth of the Holy Church.

Qian Zhiyin has a high talent for doing business, Ye Chen knows this.Therefore, Ye Chen had no doubts about the confidence expressed in Qian Zhiyin's letter.What's more, as Qian Zhiyin said in the letter, if he was caught off guard without knowing the purpose of the holy hall, Wu Yue's bank would be severely damaged, or even suffered a catastrophe. Zhiyin and Wuyue Bank's background, coupled with the information that Huaxia Weifu and his side helped him inquire in the first time, he believes that
Qian Zhiyin can do what he says.
