Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan

Lu Ji, deputy director of the branch, took several security guards and escorted Huang Daxin to the office next door for interrogation.

Huang Daxin had something on his mind and was not frightened at all. When he heard that he was being taken to the Jinyi Guards, he was paralyzed with fear and confessed honestly.

His real name was Huang Dafa, a well-known gangster in Huangcun. On the day the Imperial Bank opened, he came to join in the fun, mingled with the crowd and fished in troubled waters, and got more than twenty copper coins.

Listening to the people watching talking about various things at the Imperial Bank, I couldn't help but feel excited when I heard that you could come to the Imperial Bank to withdraw money with a red book.

He remembered that Huang Daxin, the son of his neighbor Huang Laoshi, had gone to join the army. A few days ago, an official came to Huang's house and handed a small red book to Huang Laoshi, saying that Huang Daxin's monthly salary would be red in the future. In this book, the Huang family can use this red book to withdraw money from the Dongseong Branch of the Imperial Bank.

Although Huang Dafa was not present, he heard from people in the village that he finally couldn't bear it after hearing the comments from the people watching the excitement. Early the next morning, while the Huang family was out doing farm work, he broke into the Huang family's house and rummaged through the boxes and cabinets. , I found the passbook, but not Huang Daxin’s seal, so I thought I was smart and spent more than ten cents to ask a craftsman to carve a new seal. I ran to the Imperial Bank Chengdong Branch early in the morning to collect the money, but Chen Hui found out.

Lu Ji encountered this kind of thing for the first time and didn't know how to deal with it. He simply reported it to the branch president and also reported it secretly to Tian Boguang, the acting commander of the Jinyi Guards.

Lu Ji also has another secret identity, Jinyiwei Xiaoqi, Zhu Youjian's spy installed in the banking system, with the responsibility of supervision. He can skip the acting commander Tian Boguang and pass the governor Shen Baichuan to Tianting's privileges.

Lu Ji felt that this matter was just an ordinary theft case, which was generally handled by the county government. There was no need to go to heaven to listen or alert the emperor, so he did not secretly contact the governor Shen Baichuan, but reported it to the acting commander Tian Boguang.

As the leader of Jin Yiwei, Tian Boguang's consideration in dealing with issues is not comparable to that of a small person like Lu Ji. This is also the difference in status.

Tian Boguang knew how important the Imperial Bank was in Zhu Youjian's heart. It was so important that not only did he secretly place a few chess pieces inside the bank, but he also repeatedly told him to send more manpower to secretly pay attention to the changes in the Imperial Bank.

Just a few days after the opening of the Imperial Bank, such an incident occurred. Although it was just an ordinary criminal case of petty theft, he felt that it should be reported to the emperor for a ruling.

Before the county government's arrests could be dispatched, Tian Boguang had already sent a team of royal guards to take Huang Daxin into custody first, and then entered the palace to report to the emperor.

Coincidentally, a village girl named Li Qiaoer picked up a passbook near the Imperial Bank when she went shopping in the city and gave it to the bank staff. Tian Boguang also reported this incident when he entered the palace to meet the saint.

Zhu Youjiang wanted to set an example, so a small case turned into a major case. Huang Dafa was very unlucky and was sentenced to five years of hard labor and assigned to mining in mountainous areas.

With today's mining technology and mining tools, as well as the living conditions in the mining area, Huang Dafa's chance of surviving until his release is only about 20%. If he can survive, he will be considered lucky.

On the contrary, the village girl Li Qiaoer who picked up the passbook and handed it in received a huge prize of ten taels of silver and a piece of fine cloth, which really caused quite a stir and made many people envious.

It was said that Li Qiaoer, who had become the little rich woman in the village, suddenly became a hot commodity. The number of matchmakers who came to propose marriage was like crucian carp crossing the river, trampling down the threshold.

The cases of Huang Dafa and Li Qiaoer are just typical examples of Zhu Youjianshu. There will be no similar heavy fines and rewards in the future, in order to prevent people with bad intentions from using passbooks to deceive banks in the future.

These two things once ranked among the top ten in the imperial capital gossip list and became people's talk after dinner. However, there were too many things happening in the imperial capital every day, and they were quickly replaced by other things and disappeared in the wave of gossip.

Zhu Youjian was still as busy as ever. He had been sitting in his laboratory for the past few days, tinkering with something mysteriously.
