Chapter 517: Closing the Net

The third day.

Xie Ling's side's blockade against the Yinzhou Coin had already entered its most frenzied stage.

The entire Liangzhou was in chaos.

The entire Yinzhou was in chaos.

Xie Ling had gone mad.

Smash!

All the gold and silver in his hands, he smashed it all in!

Eyes turned red.

At a time like this, who wouldn't have red eyes?

The gamble between the group of wealthy men led by Xie Ling and Yintan City allowed many retail investors to achieve overnight wealth and financial freedom in a single day. Among them, those who bought long and those who bought short were all caught in the turbulent vortex; some hauled in a pot of gold, while others lost everything overnight. Those who jumped into rivers or jumped off buildings were countless.

Qingyang Shuo was right.

This was a battlefield without gunpowder.

Several times.

Yintan City had nearly collapsed several times.

But through the efforts of all parties and the addition of their own cash, they turned the tide in several perilous moments.

Thrilling.

Dangerous.

This was the charm of financial warfare.

And on Xie Ling's side.

It seemed they felt the situation was already in the bag.

With funds continuously pouring in to support them and every condition favorable to them, if they didn't win this time, when would they?

The scales of victory seemed to have tilted completely toward Xie Ling's side.

The entire Longyan was shocked.

Could it be that Xie Ling, coming with such fierce momentum this time, could really take down the treasure land of Liangzhou?

Was the Governor of Liangzhou, who had never known defeat since he first debuted, really about to suffer his first failure over the Yinzhou Coin?

Dark clouds loomed over the city, threatening to crush it.

Three days.

Three consecutive days.

Yintan City and the Liangzhou side had been beaten by Xie Ling's side until they were tottering and bloodied.

But...

They were always still on the verge of collapse.

Just a little bit more.

Just a little bit more.

Yet this little bit required more, even more massive amounts of capital to pull back and forth, to gamble back and forth.

Xie Ling and the group of wealthy men he brought with him had already fallen completely into madness.

Just a little bit more!

Smash!

Keep smashing!

The precarious Liangzhou was plunged into a strange atmosphere.

"Sir, sir, they have smashed another five million silver in!"

"Sir, this time they are selling off..."

"Sir..."

Qingyang Shuo in Yintan City remained as steady as a mountain.

It was the third day...

That's right.

It was already the third day.

According to the news sent back by the Scouts, in addition to the initial twenty million gold, another large batch of funds had come in today!

A sharp glint flashed in Qingyang Shuo's eyes.

This was likely already the trump card of Xie Ling's side.

It was the third day.

He smiled slightly and looked into the distance.

Young Master, it is time to close the net...

Just when everyone thought that Yintan City could not last through today.

Suddenly.

At this moment, Longyan Jinghua.

A piece of bombshell news was released.

Qingzhou, where the King of Wei resided; Hanzhong, where the King of Yong resided; Shuzhou, where the King of Shu resided; Jizhou, where the King of Liang resided; and Youzhou, where the Chen King resided.

Five great provinces simultaneously issued a proclamation to the world.

Starting today, Yinzhou Coin will be recognized as legal tender and legal currency in these few provinces. The specific exchange rate will be calculated strictly according to the exchange rate of both territories...

Once this news broke, the whole country was shocked.

Yinzhou Coin rose immediately.

And it rose in a frantic manner. This interval was exactly when Xie Ling had just sold off on a large scale, causing Yinzhou Coin to fall, and he intended to buy the dip once it hit the lowest price!

Therefore.

When this news arrived at this moment, he was stunned on the spot.

"What did you say?"

"How could this be? How could this be?"

Clearly, this explosive news brought him shock that was beyond measure in a short period of time. He stood up, shaking Yang Xiao frantically, his eyes splitting: "How could this be, how could this be!"

"Impossible!"

"What do these Feudatory Kings want to do!"

"What do they want to do!"

He roared it out, nearly.

These wealthy merchants were already panicked for a moment.

"His Highness, at this time, we must stop losses as soon as possible!"

"Yes, this, this, we must act, otherwise..."

For the past few days, they had been frantically crashing the price, holding only one thought: to crash the price of Yinzhou Coin to the bottom as much as possible! And then they would use the cash in their hands to make a large-scale bottom-fishing attempt!

In this way.

Yintan City would collapse, and it would be a natural matter for it to change hands to Xie Ling by then. So in this process, they didn't pay attention at all to how much money they had spent... how much they had invested, how much gold and silver they had poured in!

They were carried away.

It can only be said that they were indeed too carried away, and also had too much confidence in their own side.

"Yes, yes, yes, hurry up and buy, buy!"

"What are you all staring at, buy, keep crashing it for me!"

Reminded by so many people, Xie Ling finally reacted and roared.

"No matter the price, crash it! Keep crashing it!"

Rising on one side, crashing on the other.

Back and forth, the cash poured in was countless. But Xie Ling had no way back now; he had thrown so much in during the early stages, and now he hadn't reached a balance at all.

Crash!

The cash on Xie Ling's side poured into the market once again.

Indeed, so much cash did suppress the frantic rise of Yinzhou Coin. But... for Xie Ling's side, this was a mode of frantically cutting their own flesh. In this wave, they lost at least one-third of their principal.

But.

They were still crashing it.

The investors in Yinzhou also fell into a frenzy once again.

Exciting!

Too exciting!

Yinzhou Coin becoming the recognized legal currency of five major provinces simultaneously provided a massive endorsement for the credit of Yinzhou Coin. Yinzhou Coin, which had been suppressed to just over one gold, began to rise frantically.

Those who bought the dip and went long became wealthy overnight again.

Those who followed Xie Ling to short the market jumped off buildings again.

Skyrocketing.

Plummeting.

In this process, Yintan City finally gained a glimmer of life from its dying state.

However...

Xie Ling, who was still frantic at this time, did not know.

This glimmer of life was the beginning of Yinzhou Coin starting to turn defeat into victory.

Because next.

Another piece of heavy news was released.

The Blockage of the Ship was solved by Liu Zheng.

At this, Xie Ling panicked completely.

The third day.

Liu Zheng, almost under the mockery of everyone, brought the Liangzhou Army to the scene of the Blockage of the Ship.

"Prefect Liu, can you actually do it or not!"

"If not, just let the Ministry of Works handle it!"

"Hahahaha, watering it every day, what is the point?"

"Are you waiting for stones to bloom?"

These people mocked him one after another.

Dong Feng, standing on the side, also smiled coldly and said indifferently: "Prefect Liu, you said three days, and this is already the third day. If it still cannot be solved here, I fear the Emperor will punish you..."

Liu Zheng smiled faintly, noncommittal.

"This time, switch to hydrochloric acid."

He turned his head to look at Jiang Xuan and gave the order.

"Yes!"

Jiang Xuan responded excitedly.

It had been three days...

It was indeed time to resolve it.

In fact.

For these past few days, Liu Zheng had been waiting, waiting for news from that side.

Just this morning.

The five great provinces of Longyan spoke out simultaneously, recognizing the legal status of the Yinzhou Coin.

It was time to close the net.

"Begin!"

Liu Zheng nodded.
