At this time, Liu Yong stood up and said, "Lao Jia, what nonsense are you talking about......"

But Liu Yongcai regretted this sentence after saying it, and his dissatisfaction with Judge can be said afterwards, so what does it mean to point it out on the spot?

Although the mint has not yet proved that something is wrong, according to Jinyiwei's consistent logic, then he is also covering up.

Sure enough, Chen Xiaoting slowly turned around and faced Liu Yongdao: "Liu Sicheng, it seems that you know a lot!" ”

The fear that was re-revealed in his heart just now, and Liu Yongcai's nerves that had not been relaxed for a while were immediately full of strings.

"Master Chen...... This ......"

What is this...... Liu Yong didn't know how to answer at all, although he was a little clever in the officialdom, but he was completely useless in the face of Jinyiwei.

"That's right, you are Si Cheng, if the Minting Division really has an internal ghost, you are also responsible......"

"So Liu Sicheng, don't talk nonsense, listen carefully, think about it, maybe come up with clues, and find a chance to make meritorious contributions!" Chen Xiaoting's tone was cold.

He was almost certain that the Mint had an internal ghost, and it was without any evidence.

But does the evidence matter? Dealing with a yamen like Jinyiwei, many things can't be said clearly.

"Adults have to teach you a lesson!" Liu Yongman said humbly.

Anyway, he is also a noble son, although his family is now inconspicuous, but it is extremely aggrieved to grovel so much.

Fortunately, Chen Xiaoting didn't come to play prestige, I saw him turn around and say to Jia Qi: "Open the door of the warehouse, this official wants to go in and have a look!" ”

Actually, it was not in accordance with the rules, but no one in the audience was too talkative.

I saw Judge beckoning to the side, and then saw the clerk in charge of the treasury enter the wing room and take a bunch of keys out of it.

At the same time, Judge himself took a key from his bosom, and the two of them walked towards the door of the storeroom together.

Chen Xiaoting also stepped forward, only to see that the two of them worked together to open the heavy lock.

Before the two of Jia Qi stepped aside, they saw Chen Xiaoting beckoning back, and several lieutenants rushed forward and pushed the heavy gate in front of them open.

Thundered...... The door opened, and the smell of metal smelting came from inside.

Chen Xiaoting stepped into the door, Jia and Liu also followed, and the others waited outside honestly.

Inside the warehouse, I saw that there were tin boxes, and each box was locked.

Not only that, but the boxes were also sealed and painted.

"Yongzhi fifteenth year casting ......"

"Yongzhi 16th year casting ......"

As Chen Xiaoting wandered around the warehouse, he found that the seal on the box was from the first year of Yongzhi to the twenty-second year of Yongzhi.

Only the middle box is not sealed, but is completely locked.

"These are molds?" Chen Xiaoting asked in a deep voice.

"That's right, my lord, these are molds for coinage, and they're all stored here!"

"Every year there is coinage, so every year a batch of molds has to be replaced, so there are so many of them!" Judge explained.

Chen Xiaoting nodded, and then asked, "Yin and Yang are all together?" ”

Jia Qi shook his head again and again, and then pointed to the underground: "Yang carving is stored in the basement, it is the most safe, and it needs Lord Liu to take out the key to take it out!" ”

At this time, Liu Yong had already gone back to get the key, but was stopped by Chen Xiaoting raising his hand.

"Don't bother!" Chen Xiaoting said calmly.

The purpose of his entry was to see if the storage environment was safe, and it seemed to be generally good now.

"Yan Congshan, what year was the counterfeit money made?" Chen Xiaoting asked suddenly.

Yan Congshan, who was outside, immediately came in, bowed down and said, "Tell my lord, there are from the seventeenth to the twenty-second year of Yongzhi!" ”

So Chen Xiaoting said to Jia Qi on the side: "Since you have a special person to register as a cashier, then let's count it now and see if the number of molds is right!" ”

"Yes......" Judge replied.

Then he beckoned out the door, and a servant hurried in, still holding a booklet in his hand.

I saw Judge pointing to the box on the ground and said, "Count all the molds from the seventeenth to the twenty-second year of Yongzhi!" ”

The clerk nodded, then hurried out of the storeroom again, and in a few moments came in with a bunch of keys.

First, the seventeenth year of Yongzhi was opened, revealing the long strips of molds inside, each of which could make a hundred copper coins at a time.

Picking up the booklet, Chen Xiaoting flipped through it and found that there were a total of two hundred and eight inscriptions in the seventeenth year of Yongzhi.

In other words, if all these inscriptions are used, more than 20,000 copper coins can be made at one time.

At first glance, the scale of money production is very large, but with the demand for copper coins in the country, this is actually not large.

After counting them one by one, Chen Xiaoting also immediately checked the number of molds in other years, which were almost around two hundred.

"My lord, there are two hundred and seven molds in the seventeenth year of Yongzhi!" Yan Congshan said on the side, and at this time, a pile of molds had been placed on the ground.

Chen Xiaoting nodded, the numbers matched, and then it was time to check them in turn.

During this process, Judge's expression has been very calm, thinking that he has an absolute grasp of the number of molds.

After about half an hour, the results came out, and the molds were all there, which meant that there was no problem.

But Chen Xiaoting did not say anything, but walked around the warehouse a few times, and finally determined that he could not force himself in from the outside, and then dispelled some of his suspicions about Jia Qi and others.

At this point, the object of suspicion needs to be transferred.

As Judge said, all the molds can be made of the only chance that there is a normal minting task.

So Chen Xiaoting asked, "When was the last time you minted coins?" ”

Liu Yong stepped forward and replied: "Back to my lord's words, the last time I minted coins was a month ago!" ”

"Since the mold is going to go to the mint, let's go over there now...... Can Zhong Guan be available? Who is it? ”

Zhong Guan is the official in charge of the mint, and the next step is to check whether there is anything suspicious.

When the time comes, the two will be compared, and Chen Xiaoting will take whoever is more suspicious in the mint or the mint, and who will be taken away for questioning.

"Back to the adult's words, Zhongguan Hu Sichun is also sitting at the entrance of the yamen!" Liu Yong replied.

Chen Xiaoting nodded, and then said, "Then let's go to the mint!" ”

Immediately, ignoring other people's thoughts, Chen Xiaoting walked straight out, and Liu Yong and the others hurriedly followed.

But just as he was about to leave the gate of the production office, Chen Xiaoting stopped, turned to Jia Qi who came with him, and said, "Jia Zhifan, you don't have to go over, stay here!" ”

"It's best that you and your people stay here these days and don't run around until things are cleared!"

Hearing that he was under house arrest, Jia Qi immediately changed color, and hurriedly defended himself: "Chen Baihu, you will never dare to do that headless thing, you have to find out!" ”

While pleading, Jia Qi did not stop to make color to Liu Yong, but unfortunately the latter did not call at all.

What can Liu Yongneng say, he can't protect himself now, how can he still care about Jia Qi's life and death, and it's just grounded.

"It's all for your good, stay here honestly and wait for the truth to come out!"

Judge was unwilling, and planned to fight for himself, but he was afraid that he would be a scapegoat.

But without waiting for him to speak, Chen Xiaoting said in a cold tone: "Go in!" ”

Judge lost his voice completely, and had to turn away, starting the process of his own house arrest.

For Chen Xiaoting, the suspicion of the Fence Office has not been completely cleared, so it is necessary to isolate these people.

"Leave two people here, and the others will follow me!" Chen Xiaoting said in a deep voice.

These things were arranged by Yan Congshan, and Chen Xiaoting, under the leadership of Liu Yong, slowly rushed to the mint.
