Ji Yongjia waited for a long time but didn't hear Shen Yong say a word to him, so he could only purse his lips and chase after Sun Ren.
This time Sun Ren called all the officials.
Twenty thousand taels of silver in cash, with each box containing five hundred taels, that would require a total of 40 boxes of silver, which would probably fill two carts.
As it was getting dark, it was natural that there would be more people and the pace would be faster.
The clerk at the money shop had half of the door panels installed when a group of people suddenly squeezed in.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?"
"Didn't you see it's closed?"
The guy hurriedly chased after everyone and shouted.
Looking at the dozen or so tall and strong men, the guy was very scared.
No one would be so bold as to rob a bank, right?
"It's not closed yet." Sun Ren stopped and looked around.
"Go call your shopkeeper out, we'll exchange some cash and leave right away."
The guy frowned and looked at them, then sighed helplessly.
"Wait, I'll go call the shopkeeper."
Seeing that they were obviously martial artists, the guy didn't dare to kick them out directly.
This matter needs to be notified to the shopkeeper.
If you want to exchange some cash, you need to go to a money shop. Restaurants and other places all accept silver notes.
He suspected these people of having ulterior motives.
After hearing the clerk's description, the money shop owner's first reaction was that someone was looking for trouble.
No one would wait until the bank closes to exchange cash.
I exchanged some cash for cash. A dozen people showed up, and something sounded amiss.
"Well, go and inform Master Zhang now and tell him about the situation here."
The owner of the money shop felt uneasy and asked his clerk to report what he had just seen to Master Zhang.
After watching the clerk leave from the back, the owner of the money shop walked towards the lobby counter with four of his thugs.
"How much cash would you like to exchange?"
The owner of the money shop originally wanted to send the people away, so he counted and sealed all the silver in the money shop before closing.
After these people did this, he had to seal it up again.
However, after seeing Sun Ren and his companions, the owner of the money shop immediately gave up the idea.
These guys look ferocious, so it’s better not to cause trouble.
"Twenty thousand taels of silver!"
Sun Ren took out two silver bills and slapped them on the counter.
The bank owner was slightly stunned and picked up the banknote to look at it carefully.
There is no problem with the silver notes. Twenty thousand taels of silver in cash is neither too much nor too little.
The money in the bank can still be exchanged.
"Okay, wait a moment, everyone. I'll go count the silver."
As he spoke, the bank owner winked at the four thugs and walked quickly towards the warehouse.
Soon, four thugs carried boxes of silver from the warehouse to the hallway.
Sun Ren stood with his hands behind his back, watching the people from the bank bring the box over with a calm expression.
Ji Yongjia silently counted the boxes and estimated how many were still missing.
Liu Yi excitedly opened the boxes of silver and counted the silver in the boxes with his mouth watering.
A box of silver contains exactly five hundred taels, no more, no less.
Sun Ren looked at his officials, who were touching the silver in the box with trembling hands and couldn't take their eyes off it. He felt very embarrassed.
He went up and kicked Liu Yi on the butt, cleared his throat, and winked at him.
Liu Yi looked up and saw the strange look in the banker's eyes. He pursed his lips and stood up immediately.
A quarter of an hour later, the shopkeeper counted out the 20,000 taels of silver.
Sun Ren and Ji Yongjia reviewed the items and randomly selected a few boxes for inspection to prevent any adulteration.
Although I know that money houses normally don't dare to issue fake silver, it's safer to do a random inspection.
A moment later, two carts loaded with boxes left the door of the bank.
At this time, the sky was even darker and there were almost no people on the road.
The sudden appearance of Sun Ren and his group pulling carts attracted the attention of merchants on both sides of the street.
"Sir, do you need help moving the boxes?"
The innkeeper saw the two carts parked at the door and hurried forward to inquire.
When he walked out of the inn and saw the mark of the box on the cart, his eyes flashed slightly.
Wow, this is the box from the bank. I’m going to withdraw cash.
"Need not!"
Sun Ren waved his hand to refuse the innkeeper's help.
How can we let others touch the money? If there is less, it will be difficult to deal with.
"The rest of you carry the silver to Boss Shen's room. Brother Ji, please guard the cart at the door."
After Sun Ren finished giving the order, without waiting for Ji Yongjia to reply, he directly called Tie Zhu to help him carry the two boxes to Chen Yong's room.
Ji Yongjia's hand had just touched the box when he heard Sun Ren's words. Before he could say anything, he could only see Sun Ren's back.
He pulled the corners of his mouth and sneered.
Watching the officers carrying boxes in pairs towards the guest rooms, he simply stood by the cart with his arms folded.
If someone is willing to do the hard labor, let them do it.
He didn't take these officials seriously.
In terms of martial arts, these officers are no match for him, and in terms of knowledge, there is a world of difference between them.
We can ignore his family background for now, but he has a relationship with his cousin Lu Man. As long as he sincerely relies on Chen Yong, he will naturally be above all else in the future.
Do you really think you can crush him with just a little extra effort?
Ji Yongjia sneered and glanced around, and saw the innkeeper still standing at the door.
The innkeeper met Ji Yongjia's eyes and smiled slightly.
"Would you like some tea, sir?"
"......" Ji Yongjia glanced at the innkeeper scrutinizingly, "No need."
Why does this shopkeeper look a bit weird? His eyes are evasive and he doesn't seem like a decent person.
Ji Yongjia frowned slightly. Could it be that they were staying in a shady shop?
The innkeeper nodded and went back into the inn with a smile.
The officials were very quick, and in less than an incense stick of time, all forty boxes were neatly placed in Chen Yong's room.
At this time, Zhang Wenyuan also came back with the waiter who was delivering food to the restaurant.
Several chefs from the restaurant worked together to prepare the food for three tables, and it was quickly ready.
If you give enough money, the food will be prepared quickly.
When the officials saw that they could help move the silver and have a big meal, they became more convinced of Shen Yong.
They had worked for those officials before, and they were always sent away with a box of snacks or a few nice words.
After all, they are the lowest-ranking officials, so no official would look at them with respect.
Unless the family members of those officials were exiled and happened to fall into their hands, they would be more polite to them.
This situation is relatively rare. They can only escort the prisoners twice a year at most. The journey is too long and it takes a lot of time to run back and forth.
After a few days, the women of the Shen family had become accustomed to Shen Yong not eating with them and no longer coming to exchange food.
