Daoist Liyue, I live in the Hall of Rebirth!

"Those people from Zhidong Kingdom talked to him, and it must be related to the loan, but I can't think of any reason why Zhidong Bank would lend to such a person."

"Unless it's usury or something, or some kind of human experimentation, and other illegal activities, if these are really the case, we can report it to Tianquanxing."

Shen Ming and Hu Tao also quietly followed behind.

"Shall we go in?" Shen Ming asked in a low voice.

"Just wait here, it will look suspicious if you enter the bank without doing business." Hu Tao.

"Isn't it suspicious that we're just waiting here?" Shen Ming complained.

"So, let's play it. Play it! I'm going to buy a newspaper," said Walnut, and ran to the newsstand.

Shen Ming had nothing to do, so he couldn't just stand like this, otherwise it would be even more suspicious, so he simply found a place with a fairly wide view, found a bench and sat down.

Hu Tao bought a large newspaper and came back, looked around, found Shen Ming's position, and sat on the bench with him.

hula-

As soon as the newspaper was opened, two heads were hidden behind the newspaper, glancing in the direction of the bank from time to time.

"That's it? We should not be discovered." Shen Ming.

"Don't worry, there is still something that the Hall Master can't handle?"

"I always feel that the guard in front of the door is watching us two." Shen Ming.

"You're guilty of a guilty conscience. We're here to read the newspaper, so let's calm down." Hu Tao glanced at the door of the bank, then retracted her head, and said in a low voice.

"Shen Ming, point that way, your head is squeezing my head."

"oh oh."

Chapter 67 Treaty

"Look, look, he's out!"

Hu Tao suddenly raised her head to look in the direction of the man, and tugged at the corner of Shen Ming's clothes.

"Hey! You are too obvious!" Shen Ming said.

"It's okay, there's no need to hide anymore, and we didn't break the law, he would be the one who is really guilty!" Hu Tao took the newspaper away with a clatter, and kicked off with both legs and rushed out.

Surprised, Shen Ming quickly took the newspaper, raised his legs and started running.

It's a pity that people's physiques can't be generalized after all, no matter how hard Shen Ming runs, he can't outrun Hu Tao, and it's even more impossible for that man to outrun Hu Tao.

After all, Hu Tao was caught in an alley.

"Hey! You, what are you doing!" the man said in fear.

"It's nothing, I just asked you something." Hu Tao said with her arms folded.

"Yes, yes, we abide by the law and will not do anything horrible." Shen Ming nodded.

"Let me ask you, what have you been doing at Beiguo Bank?" Hu Tao asked directly.

"Borrow, borrow money..." the man said angrily, "I asked you to borrow and you said no, and the bank didn't lend, so I had to go to Beiguo Bank to borrow."

"Then why don't you go to Liyue Qixing's industry?" Hu Tao said, "No matter how bad it is, the banks run by major chambers of commerce can also borrow."

"You also need to look at my credit, can I borrow money from a big bank with my credit?" the man said.

Hu Tao frowned and looked at the man, and said after a while, "Did Beiguo Bank lend you money?"

"Borrowed." The man.

"What's the interest rate?" Walnut.

The man started to look away.

"Wow, you really went to borrow usury, right? Beiguo Bank really dares to borrow it! See if I don't report it!" Hu Tao.

"No, no." The man quickly waved his hand, "The interest rate they give is legal, normal, and normal."

"I would lend it to you normally?!" Hu Tao stared.

"I use this money to do business, and I will definitely pay it back when I earn it. Why can't I borrow it?!" The man became angry with embarrassment.

"There must be other costs." Shen Ming touched his chin and continued.

"How do you know?" the man said.

"Nonsense, the fools who take the initiative to lend money to those who are unable to repay the debts cannot be full of food." Shen Ming sneered, "Most likely they are doing some tricks again."

"I said I have the ability to repay the debt!" The man retorted.

"Tell me, what is the price?" Shen Ming said.

The man hesitated, "It's not illegal to be left or right, and the contract doesn't say you can't tell others."

"They want me to imitate Dijun to do what I can, imitate Dijun's tone to make a promise to others, and imitate Dijun to establish a contract with others."

"This is the condition of the money they lent me, whether the money should be paid back or not, and these three things must be completed before the deadline."

"I think it's just imitation anyway, it's no big deal, nothing big will happen."

As he said that, the man took out a Mora from his trouser pocket. This Mora had obviously undergone special treatment. The lines on it were not the normal Mora style, but some incomprehensible lines were engraved on it.

"They said this is a proof and cannot be lost. If lost, compensation will be paid."

"Can you show me?" Shen Ming said.

"Huh? What are you going to do? This is my lifeblood. I rely on it to turn around and make a fortune. I can't show it to you!" The man said vigilantly, "I can't afford to lose it."

Shen Ming and Hu Tao frowned together, because both of them vaguely felt the elemental power from this Mora.

But since they don't give it to them, the two of them can't grab it directly.

In fact, Hu Tao was still a little disappointed, she didn't expect Beiguo Bank to be so honest, completely within Liyue's law.

The two let the man go.

"What do they want someone to imitate the emperor?" Shen Ming frowned.

Walnut poked his head with his index finger, "Hmm... let more people know about Emperor Yan Wang?"

"...No matter how you think about it, it's impossible." Shen Ming complained.

"I'm just kidding." Walnut.

"Well—forget it! Don't think about it!" Hu Tao shook her head repeatedly.

"Speaking of which, when did Beiguo Bank become so big?" Shen Ming looked at the main entrance of Beiguo Bank.

That's a style.

"Maybe... it started when the small bank was run against?" Hu Tao tilted her head.

"Small bank... By the way, why do we deposit the funds of Xiangshengtang in that small bank, can't big banks and big banks work?" Shen Ming was puzzled.

"That." Hu Tao turned her hands behind her back and walked step by step, saying as she walked, "That was set up in my grandfather's time. The bank at that time was not a small bank."

"The current small banks were all time-honored brands at the time, and they were very trusted. I have been depositing there, and it can be regarded as maintaining the friendship and connections of the older generation."

"And who told you where I saved everything?" Hu Tao turned her head to look at Shen Ming and smiled, "Isn't it common sense that you can't put all your eggs in the same basket?"

"I have been going through that small bank to pay employees wages, and I have to walk around more to maintain the contacts left by my grandfather, but I will still deposit most of the funds in the bank under Liyue Qixing."

"Although the current Zhidong financial offensive is very fierce, it has brought down many time-honored banks, but Liyue is not decadent." Hu Tao.

"The time-honored bank has collapsed, but it has been replaced by the newly born Liyue Seven Stars and their new generation of banks. Maybe the small banks are almost unable to survive under the run on by Beiguo Bank, but Liyue's real financial power has already been consolidated and concentrated. complete."

"From shops to banks, a huge industrial chain has been formed, and it has been in the hands of Liyue Qixing. It is said that it is Qixing, but in fact it is mainly in the hands of Tianquan."

"That's why I don't want to deposit all my money under the banner of Seven Stars." Hu Tao suddenly said with some annoyance, "Depositing it all means that the lifeblood of Xiangshengtang is being choked by the light."

"But I have to admit that it's really convenient for Ningguang to make the whole industry. It's very efficient to store Mora in it no matter what you do." Hu Tao said enviously and unwillingly, "Damn it! Why is there her Ningguang everywhere? shop!"

"Why can't my Pastoral Hall do it?"

In fact, it wasn't long before Shen Ming came to Liyue, just over three months, and he is still not very familiar with the real high-level layout and situation of Liyue.

As a native of Liyue, Hu Tao gave Shen Ming a little education.

As the saying goes, Liyue's salary is passed on from generation to generation, the old group fell down, and the new group stood up again. When Zhidong launched a financial offensive against Liyue, the new generation of Liyue Seven Stars was also growing rapidly.

The Liyue Seven Stars, which concentrated most of Liyue's wealth, and their banks and big capitals are Liyue's version of "state-owned banks" and "state-owned capital", holding Liyue's lifeblood.

Chapter 68 When Names Have Power

The two went to Wanmintang for dinner, and Hu Tao seemed to have endless energy, and went out again after eating a few bites of food in Wanmintang.

Today is the time to go to the Adventurers Association to sell coffins, and she has made up her mind to sell a few coffins.

It should work...

Shen Ming was not interested in this aspect, so he didn't follow, but sat leisurely on a chair, eating small dishes, and listening to the noise of Wanmin Hall.

In addition to being busy, Xiang Ling also took time to chat with Shen Ming.

Of course, she was still complaining most of the time, because Hu Tao frightened her again, she couldn't control Hu Tao, so she came to nagging Shen Ming.

She hoped that Shen Ming could take care of Hu Tao, at least to make her less wicked.

But this is destined to be a futile act, Shen Ming doesn't want to care about it, he even feels like talking about it, but he doesn't show it on the surface, just listening to Xiang Ling's nagging and nodding constantly.

Moreover, Shen Ming, can he control the walnuts? How is it possible?

"Hey, have you heard that there was another disagreement in Yinyuan Hall yesterday."

"Silver Hall? Where is that?"

"Brother, how long have you been staying at home? The Yinyuan Hall, which is in charge of the salt industry in the Seven Stars and Eight Gates, doesn't even know?"

"Oh, there it is, what happened yesterday?"

"I don't know, I heard that someone broke a lot of things, and there was a violent quarrel..."

Talking without the intention of the listener, these diners may think it's nothing, but it makes Shen Ming's heart.

After so many times of divination and the application of Qimen Dunjia, Shen Ming's intuitions about premonitions are already a bit strong, even if they are not counted, there is still a vague feeling.

"Pity......"

Shen Ming said regretfully, he didn't hear any more critical information, so he could only keep it in mind, and then quietly put it in his heart, without further studying it.

Shen Ming thought of the man who got a loan from Beiguo Bank again, and his heart moved, and he quietly made a calculation.

Although Ziwei Doushu could not be used because of the starry sky, he could start from the details, calculate the man's state in recent days, and then judge whether Zhidong really had any plans.

It's a foregone conclusion.

Seeing this, Shen Ming frowned.

Duiqigong, Zhengxi, Wujiaji is the image of nobles being imprisoned, which is not good for public or private.

It's typical to do whatever you want, Shen Ming remembered that the man was going west, if the money was used for business, he might lose it again, and the loan could not be repaid within the stipulated time.

Leaving the Nine Palaces, Yijiaxin Qinglong fled, the master died and his wealth was ruined, the slaves were kidnapped, and all six animals were injured; Guijiaxin, the net was built into the sky prison, the master's lawsuit was lost, the death penalty was inevitable, and the disease was also a serious crime.

What about stacking Buffs?

This man has only this pair of hexagrams, and he has to pay close attention to it these days, maybe fools will find him at any time, and he may even be a debt handler.

Shen Ming thought of the three things that the man said that the fools wanted him to do.

The more I think about it, the more strange I feel, you fools want to help the emperor to do publicity?

is it possible?

The weasel greets the chicken with New Year's greetings, uneasy and kind.

After a meal, Shen Ming left Wanmin Hall, returned to the Hall of Rebirth, and found Zhongli.

......

"You mean, Beiguo Bank gave a loan to a person who obviously has no ability to repay, and asked him to imitate my tone and do three things?" Zhong Li sat on a chair, holding a teacup in his hand.

He hadn't had a drink for 5 minutes, thinking about it all the time.

"If it is malicious, then it should be preparing some kind of spell. This kind of imitation based on idol worship will also be effective if the conditions are right."

"Perhaps we should stop them. No matter what purpose they have, as long as they stay in the embryonic stage, they won't be able to do it." Shen Ming said.
