He also thought of the method that Zhou Heng said, but this method did not work, tax silver is not ordinary silver, the imperial court has strict regulations, and the size, weight, and shape of tax silver are clearly stipulated.
If you take some of it out, you may not be able to do it in terms of weight, so wouldn't it be easy to find out?
"Since you can extract a part, there is naturally a way to fill it, lead!"
Zhou Heng said.
It is a delicate job to add something else to the tax silver to achieve the same weight.
Gao Lang and Su Nuanyu finally understood from Zhou Heng's description how the fake tax silver was made.
"There is such a means!"
Su Nuanyu didn't expect the Yue family to be so powerful.
"This is deceiving the imperial court!" Gao Lang said, the Yue family turned the tax silver of the imperial court into ordinary silver and made huge profits from it, which was simply madness.
It's a very clever plan
The Yue family had a place where they made their own tax silver, as well as specialized craftsmen.
At the same time, this is also a huge network of relationships that abuse power for personal gain, starting from Jingzhou officials to every place in the imperial court.
"Is the mastermind Yue Hezhang?"
Su Nuanyu said.
In Yue Hezhang, I am afraid that this matter is the mastermind.
"It's not just Yue Hezhang, but the household department also has their people, otherwise how could this silver pass through layers of inspection!" Zhou Heng said, Yue Hezhang is just a person who has a direct relationship with the Yue family, so how many people are behind this?
"I'm afraid this trip is very dangerous!"
Zhou Heng sighed, he felt that once he made a move, there would be countless pairs of eyes staring at him.
Those people will definitely put themselves to death, and they will not only cut off their financial resources, but also endanger their lives.
"What are you afraid of!"
Su Nuanyu said heroically, feeling that this matter was not a serious matter.
"Don't you know, officialdom is much more terrifying than the battlefield, the battlefield is a real battle of swords and guns, and above the officialdom you never know who your opponent is. ”
Zhou Heng explained to Su Nuanyu that officialdom seems to be infinitely beautiful, but there are murderous intentions hidden everywhere.
It was getting dark.
Outside, there was the sound of gongs and drums on the third watch, and only the sound of watchmen sounded on the street.
"My lord, it's getting late, and I'm leaving!" Gao Lang got up and said goodbye to Zhou Heng and Su Nuanyu.
"Slow down, sir, I'll let you send you. ”
Zhou Heng got up and said to Gao Lang.
Now that it's night, what if there is danger, Zhou Heng thought that it would be safer to let Jun Buqi send Gao Lang.
"Thank you, sir. ”
Gao Lang thanked Zhou Heng, but just as Gao Lang's voice fell, a voice came from outside the door.
"Who?"
Zhou Heng, Gao Lang, and Su Nuanyu had already walked to the position of the door, and Zhou Heng was about to reach out to open the door, when he heard a broken drink, Zhou Heng knew that this was Jun Buqi's voice.
The three of them immediately took a few steps back and looked warily at the closed door in front of them.
Jun Buqi came up from the first floor, and saw a person standing at the door of the second floor.
As Jun Buqi stopped drinking, the man's body trembled, and he immediately rushed out to the side.
"Where to go!"
When Jun Buqi saw that someone was leaving, he immediately followed.
The sword in his hand flashed, the cold light was pressing, the sword qi swirled out, and the sharp sword qi slashed towards the person in front of him, and at the same time, Su Nuanyu also jumped directly from the window.
"Lord Gao, just in case, you should leave quickly!"
