"Reporting to the marquis, according to this subordinate's investigation, the head shopkeeper of Yuan Xiang Bank is called Cao Guangqi. However, during our investigation, we discovered that apart from his name, all other information about Cao Guangqi is fake. Even the owner behind him is extremely mysterious. I only heard that he is a young man, but there is no other useful information."
In the Mo Estate, Constable Cao reported the information he had investigated. The more he investigated, the more shocked he became. Who would have thought that there was such a mysterious bank in Chang 'an City? If something happened, he would have to bear the consequences.
"Just as I expected!" Meton was not surprised by this result. If the Zi Qian Family did not have some tricks up their sleeves, how could they have existed for so long? Yuan Xiang Bank was just a stronghold of the Zi Qian Family.
"Not only that, even the shop in the Yuanxiang Bank was rented. I couldn't find the remains of the staff in the Yuanxiang Bank, and the property was only a few copper coins. I couldn't find any useful clues at all," Constable Cao said with a bitter smile.
In everyone's impression, a bank was the richest place. It must be filled with treasures. However, Yuan Xiang Bank was like an empty shell.
Meton was also speechless. He did not think that the Zi Qian Family would be so decisive.
"However, Yuan Xiang Bank is not completely without money. It is said that they have a batch of money outside. However, Yuan Xiang Bank has become a pile of ruins. There is no list of names or IOU. I don't think anyone will admit it. " Constable Cao smiled bitterly. The bank that borrowed money suddenly ran away. It was impossible for them to ask for payment. It was like a pie falling from the sky. No one would admit such a good thing.
"Then make an announcement. Anyone who borrowed money from Yuan Xiang Bank can report to the Mo Family if they are being chased. The Mo Family will reward them handsomely." Modun sneered.
"Merton is wise!" Constable Cao nodded.
"In that case, the case will end here. We only need to arrest Craftsman Liu and the head shopkeeper of Yuan Xiang Bank! There is no need to investigate anymore. "Meton waved his hand.
"Thank you! Marquis understands! " When Constable Cao heard that the case could be closed, he couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. Although he had never heard of the Ziqian family, he naturally knew that they were involved in the Hundred Clans Dispute after seeing how resourceful they were. This was no longer something a mere constable like him could get involved in.
"But if the case is closed, what about the rest of the people who were scammed with fake banknotes?" Constable Cao hesitated. He had been pestered by the scammers for the past few days... According to Meton's promise, once the mastermind was found, he would compensate the scammers. Although Mo Jiazi had already compensated some people, the scammers, the scammers, the scammers, the scammers, the scammers, the scammers. the scammers.
. Yuan Xiang Bank was was only an empty bank.. how would they have the money to compensate the scammers? to the scammers to scammers to scammers and the scammers. the scammers would be compensated the scammers would would be the scammers and the scammers. the scammers of the scammers Bank.
Modun took a deep breath and said, "The rest of the money can be paid by the Mo family."
. "Merton is merciful!" Constable Cao immediately turned solemn and bowed solemnly to Modun. These people who had been deceived were all people with large sums of money. Some of them even had all of their belongings. If they were all turned into scrap paper, how tragic would that be?
However, in this case, almost all of the people who were cheated were compensated by the Mo Family Village. That was nearly 20,000 strings of cash. It was not a small sum to anyone, but Moton had taken it out without hesitation.
"The fake banknote case is closed!"
"Yuan Xiang Bank is the mastermind behind the fake banknote case!"
"Cao Guangqi is wanted. The imperial court will reward him with 100 taels of silver."
With the publication of the Mo Family Village and the imperial court's wanted order, the fake banknote case, which had caused a bad influence in Chang 'an City, finally came to an end. In the eyes of ordinary people, Yuan Xiang Bank was the scammer. Coupled with the rumor of Yuan Xiang Bank's big fire and the wanted order of the manager of Yuan Xiang Bank, the fake banknote case was completely solved.
However, some well-informed people knew that the Mo Family Village had suffered a great loss this time. They not only failed to find the scammer, but also lost 20,000 strings of cash as compensation for the victims.
"Manager Hu, this is your banknote. You must identify it carefully in the future. If you can't identify it, refuse it directly or ask the bank of the Mo Family Village for help." Outside the bank of the Mo Family Village, Shen Hongcai admonished a middle-aged man.
"Thank you so much, Manager Shen. Thank you so much, Merton." Manager Hu said with tears in his eyes. He was the unlucky guy who was scammed of thousands of taels of silver. He used to be rich, but he became poor overnight. If the Mo Family Village did not promise to compensate him, he would not have a chance to recover in the future.
"Continue to do business. There are many opportunities in the Mo Family Village!" Manager Shen patted Manager Hu's shoulder and said.
"Okay!" Manager Hu wiped his face full of snot and tears. He lost control of his emotions under the great sorrow and joy.
Subsequently, the victims who were scammed with banknotes of more than one tael received compensation. The case of the fake banknotes was finally solved with the Mo Family Village paying compensation and reissuing the second generation of banknotes.
However, although the Mo Family tried their best to solve the case of the fake banknotes and closed the case as soon as possible, it still inevitably affected the credibility of the banknotes. Apart from the Mo Family Village, the acceptance of banknotes in Luoyang and Chang 'an fell to the bottom.
"Meton, the banknote business continues to grow. However, although the second generation of banknotes has been replaced, the circulation is still not as good as the first generation of banknotes." Mister Shen frowned and said. The second generation of banknotes had just been issued and the possibility of fake banknotes had been eliminated. However, the acceptance of banknotes was still low.
Meton pondered for a moment and said, "Compared to the cumbersome copper coins, banknotes have a natural advantage. The bank doesn't need to be too anxious. As long as the credibility of banknotes is guaranteed, more and more people are willing to accept banknotes. However, the bank can't be indifferent. It needs to take the initiative."
"Take the initiative?" Shen Hongcai didn't understand.
Meton nodded and said, "For ordinary people, there is enough space in their homes to store copper coins. Banknotes are mainly targeted at merchants who frequently settle accounts. What are the most merchants in Chang 'an City?"
"The two cities!" Shen Hongcai suddenly understood.
Meton nodded and said, "The bank of the Mo Family Village can open two more branches in the two cities. They can directly open the exchange business and banknote business in the two cities and identify the banknotes. In this way, merchants don't need to go out of the city and can make transactions easily. Who can refuse banknotes? "
"That's a good idea!" Shen Hongcai's eyes suddenly lit up. The two branches only needed to use a small amount of money and manpower to solve the bank's crisis. It couldn't be more cost-effective.
"I'm afraid that the two branches in the two cities can't be built in a short time. The bank still needs to take precautions in advance." Shen Hongcai said seriously.
"Headmaster, please tell me." Meton said seriously.
Shen Hongcai said, "The bank has sent 300,000 strings of cash to the Imperial Treasury, plus 20,000 strings of cash as compensation for the fake banknote case. Now the banknote issue suddenly decreases and the bank's cash is very tight. If there is another accident, I'm afraid that the reputation of the Mo Family will be damaged."
"Cash is tight!" Meton suddenly frowned. Now the Mo Family Village was very large and expanding rapidly. It needed to ensure sufficient cash flow to operate. Once the cash flow was broken, the impact on the Mo Family Village would be fatal.
"Boss, bad news. I don't know when the business circle in Chang 'an City started to spread the news that the Mo Family Village is short of cash. Now many merchants want to trade with the Mo Family Village in cash and no longer accept banknotes." Xu Jie came in a hurry and brought bad news.
"This is extremely confidential. How could it be spread?" Shen Hongcai said in surprise.
Meton suddenly gnashed his teeth and said, "The Qian Family!"
"Is it possible that the Qian Family is behind this?" Shen Hongcai and Xu Jie said in surprise.
Shen Hongcai, as a member of the hundred families, and Xu Jie, as an elite in Chang 'an City, naturally heard of the Qian Family. They did not expect that the Mo Family would be targeted by this vampire.
Modun nodded and said, "Although we don't have any concrete evidence, but based on all kinds of clues and the case of Yuan Xiang Bank escaping, it must be the Qian family without a doubt."
Xu Jie couldn't help but frown. He knew how terrifying the Zi Qian Clan was. Once an ordinary merchant got involved with them, they would immediately fall into eternal damnation. That year, when he was in a crisis, there were also Zi Qian Clans that wanted to lend him money, but he avoided them like snakes and scorpions. Even if he cut off his wrist, he still didn't fall into their trap.
"Since the Qian Family wants to weigh the Mo Family, we can only accompany them to the end. Shopkeeper Xu, send a message to all the banks in Chang 'an City. Tell them that the Mo Family has something to discuss with them. "Meton said with a smile.
"All the banks!" Shen Hongcai suddenly frowned and said.
"Boss, the banks have a bad reputation. What do we want to do with them?" Xu Jie was puzzled.
Meton laughed and said, "What else can we do with them? Of course, we want to borrow money!"
"Ah!" The two suddenly exclaimed. In terms of the harm of money, Meton was probably the one who knew it best. A game of coins could show the dangers of money. They did not expect that Meton would take the initiative to borrow money.
"To be precise, we should be borrowing money from the Qian Family." Meton corrected.
"Are you so sure that these banks are all from the Qian Family?" Shen Hongcai frowned and said.
Meton shook his head and said, "Of course not. As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. How can the Qian Family only have the Yuanxiang Bank as a cover? There must be some hidden Qian Family among these banks. The Mo Family does not have time to choose one by one. So we have to find all of them!"
These banks might not be from the Qian Family, but Meton firmly believed that there must be some among them who were puppets of the Qian Family.
"What? Mo Jiazi wants to borrow money from us!"
Once the news spread, all the banks in Chang 'an City were in an uproar.
What kind of person was Mo Jiazi? Naturally, all the banks had heard of him for a long time. Especially the recent fake banknote case and Yuanxiang Bank, which pushed Mo Jiazi and the bank to the forefront of the storm.
