The commotion in Beiping City naturally couldn't be hidden from Marshal Zhang's eyes.
In the marshal's manor, Marshal Zhang kept the secret letter from the North.
He turned around and smiled at the staff officers in the command center.""Sigh, my little brat is so promising. He looks a little like me back then! Hahaha!"
"Don't flatter yourself.”A person walked in from outside the headquarters. It was Zhang Zuoxiang, one of Marshal Zhang's trusted aides.
Zhang Zuoxiang placed a stack of letters in front of Marshal Zhang and turned to whisper to the advisors beside him,""Your marshal is at the age of a soldier, yet he's still jumping over walls and dancing around!”
"It's still our family's military school that is promising. With such a temperament at such a young age and guns and cannons, if it were anyone else, they might not be able to make these old cannons of Beiping fork out so much money.”
"It's all thanks to the iron-blooded methods that the student soldiers showed when they first entered Peiping that they were scared!”
"Old Zhang, do you still feel sorry for yourself for spending so much effort to please those three commanders?”
"This method is not better than yours!”
"Go! Motherf * cker, only you dare to ruin my stage.”Although he was cursing, the smile on Marshal Zhang's face never stopped.
However, when he received the letter from Zhang Zuoxiang, his face darkened."Kong Xiangxi sent a telegram from Shanghai?”
"Yes, that old Kong Xiangxi is not easy to get along with. How could he suffer such a loss?”Zhang Zuoxiang said with a smile.
Shaking his head in disdain, Marshal Zhang threw the telegram into the trash can.""Damn it, how can you spit out what you've eaten?”
"It doesn't matter if there are precedents in other places, but in my Old Zhang's house, there's no such show!”
Zhang Zuoxiang chuckled helplessly." It's not just that he can't spit out what he ate. He's not done with the soldier. He seems to be complaining that Kong Xiangxi spat out too little."”
"See, before I came, Qishan brought his personal guards to Taiping Bank to look for that Butler Bai.”
"What do you think about this?"
"I'll lie down and watch!" Marshal Zhang laughed." Kong Xiangxi, that old fellow, has eaten so much over the years. It's nothing for him to spit out so little."”
" Besides, Kong Xiangxi is just a local tycoon. He doesn't have any soldiers or guns. It's a great honor for his father and son to eat a big mouthful of him!”
"Understood." Zhang Zuoxiang looked helpless, but in his heart, he mourned for Kong Xiangxi for three seconds.
It was time for Kong Xiangxi to pay a hefty price for provoking such a pair of bandits.
At the same time, Zhang Qishan brought hundreds of armed bodyguards to the Beiping Bank in Beiping City.
Looking at the menacing group of soldiers, those who were strolling in the bank did not dare to stay any longer and hurriedly ran out of the bank.
However, although they ran out, no one went far. They were all gathered in a circle, ready to watch the show.
In the bank, Butler Bai's forehead broke out in cold sweat as he looked at Zhang Qishan, who was coming menacingly with his soldiers.
Yesterday, he had handed over 550,000 yuan, and Kong Xiangxi had given him a good scolding over the phone.
But later, Kong Xiangxi seemed to have said that he would come forward to solve it.
But now…
Helpless, Butler Bai didn't know how Kong Xiangxi had resolved the issue. He could only smile and say,""Lord Zhang, what are you doing? Our Beiping Bank was the first to send the money to the Young Marshal's Mansion yesterday.”
Pa!
Zhang Qishan threw a thick stack of documents on the service desk at the side and said coldly,""So what if I donate? Donating money makes you a traitor?”
"Look at these. They are all evidence of your Beiping Bank buying and selling Beiping antiques to foreigners and colluding with foreigners to set up a smoking house!”
Zhang Qishan shouted at the top of his voice. The moment these words came out, it instantly aroused the crowd outside.
Whether it was selling the treasures left behind by their ancestors to the foreigners or opening a smoking hall, it was something that angered the public.
Usually, due to the tyranny of these despotic gentry, the commoners dared not speak out.
But now that Zhang Shao Shuai had come, it was clear that these commoners had confidence.
"Bring the illegal merchants to justice!"
"Get the manager of Taiping Bank to come out and be punished!”
The shouts rose and fell, and Butler Bai's face turned green and white.
This information had been kept in the hands of the Beiping officials for quite some time.
It was just that the sugar-coated bullets of the Kong family had always obstructed those officials from opening their eyes.
As time passed, even the old butler who had served Kong Xiangxi for decades had forgotten about it.
Now that this old score was brought up, it made him at a loss.
"This... Lord Zeng, can't you make an exception? I'm just a butler. Can I inform Master?”
Zhang Qishan smiled and looked surprisingly warm, but the words he said made Butler Bai's heart skip a beat.""Of course, I'll let the old butler pass on the message. The Young Marshal's intention is to buy peace with a million dollars.”
"In addition, remove all the smoking dens in Beiping and forget about this matter.”
"One…One million…If this old master is willing to agree, we won't be able to gather them in a short period of time…" Butler Bai was flabbergasted and stuttered.
Zhang Qishan continued in a low voice,"The Beiping Bank receives hundreds of thousands of foreign exchange every day. Moreover, your Kong family has more than just the Beiping Bank."”
"Don't pretend to be deaf and mute in front of Lord Zeng. Lord Zeng can easily figure out your background!”
"Send the message. Before I get a reply, I'll be drinking tea in your Beiping Bank!”
Hearing Zhang Qishan's words, Butler Bai did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly ran out of the back door of the bank.
after a while
In a mansion in Shanghai.
Kong Xiangxi received two telegrams.
One was from Marshal Zhang. The reply probably meant that he was busy negotiating with Russia and had no time to deal with other things.
Everything would be discussed in detail after the negotiations with the Russians were over.
Kong Xiangxi naturally understood what she meant.
Commander Zhang was still the same as before, throwing a tantrum and joking around. He would always push everything away unless you had weapons and cannons to beat him into submission. Otherwise, everything would be in vain.
The other letter was a distress letter sent by Butler Bai, who was in charge of Beiping.
After reading the letter for a long time, Kong Xiangxi angrily crushed it into a ball and smashed it on the table.
"What is this little guy doing here?”
"If I take that 550,000 yuan, I'll be able to destroy the industry in Beiping!”
"That old bastard really licked his old face and brought that little bastard to ask for a million yuan?”
"Do you really think I'm a money tree?”
