"There were, and the counterfeit money reappeared." Zhang Yunwen found Qiu Luoxue and said anxiously.

There has been no news of counterfeit money in the past few days, so Qiu Luoxue sent someone to secretly investigate in the market, and reported it immediately once there was counterfeit money.

"Is it a lot?" Qiu Luoxue hurriedly asked.

A trace of solemnity flashed on Zhang Yunwen's face, and he said: "Big, this time it appeared in large quantities, and it appeared suddenly, and after it appeared, it occupied the market quickly and couldn't control it."

"It seems that the people who make counterfeit money are also in a hurry." Qiu Luoxue said.

Now that those people have made counterfeit money, they are bound to let it go to the market. Some time ago, the wind was tight, and they did not dare to act. Now they are finally in action.

"Bring all those who use counterfeit money to the county office, and the prime minister will be personally interrogated." Qiu Luoxue immediately gave countermeasures.

"All of them?" Zhang Yunwen asked in surprise.

"Questions?" Qiu Luoxue asked rhetorically.

Zhang Yunwen said hesitantly: "There is no problem, but there are too many people, I'm afraid there are not so many people in the county government to take care of it."

Qiu Luoxue thought for a while and said, "Then in batches."

"Nope." Qiu Luoxue suddenly thought of something and said: "It's not just the people who hold the counterfeit money, everyone is called over." By street and alley, and don't say that they are called to investigate counterfeit money, just say that it is a public survey. ”

Qiu Luoxue's purpose in doing this was to be afraid of startling the snake, after all, no one used counterfeit money after the last large-scale investigation. This time, they must not be allowed to escape again.

Qiu Luoxue's plan was quickly implemented, and the ordinary people who did not know it were happy to meet the prime minister of the dynasty. After meeting, what Qiu Luoxue did was to chat with them about family life, and inadvertently ask about the source of counterfeit money.

"What's the family's income lately? It's okay, I heard that you have three children in your family, and there are old people to support, it's very hard. Qiu Luoxue asked another person now, the other party was a woman, Qiu Luoxue asked with concern, in fact, she was setting up information.

"Of course, it's hard, and when the harvest is bad, the adults and children in the family are hungry. But this year is much better, and the child's father made a windfall. Seeing that Qiu Luoxue was so kind, the woman replied very heartily.

"The so-called windfall refers to ......," Qiu Luoxue asked again.

"The child's father picked up a package in the back mountain a few days ago, and it was full of money." The woman replied.

Hearing this answer, Qiu Luoxue and Nie Yuan glanced at each other, this is not the first time that someone has said that they have picked up money in the back mountain.

In addition to Qiu Luoxue's side, Zhang Yunwen's side is also inquiring. Both sides were doing it at the same time, and it was much faster, and when it was over, everyone summed up the information they had heard, and they came to a conclusion.

"In general, the sources of counterfeit money are Houshan, Casino and Zhengfu. We just have to keep an eye on these places and there will definitely be progress. Qiu Luoxue said.

"Yunwen, you take the patrol to patrol the back mountain, don't let go of any clues, Nie Shishi and I will go to the casino to have a look." Qiu Luoxue arranged again.

"What about the Zheng Mansion?" Nie Yuan asked.

Qiu Luoxue hooked her lips and smiled, and said, "Mountain people have their own tricks."

Qiu Luoxue found the beggars in Annan City, gathered them together, and these beggars watched the situation in the Zheng Mansion and promised them a good reward.

These beggars have no fixed place to live, and their whereabouts are uncertain. Even if it suddenly appeared near the Zheng Mansion, it would not arouse suspicion, after all, the Zheng Mansion was a large household and was the most vulnerable to the patronage of these beggars.

"There are a total of five large and small gates in the Zheng Mansion, and you are responsible for keeping an eye on one door in groups of two. During this period, once something unusual happened in the Zheng Mansion, send someone to report to the county office. Qiu Luoxue said to the beggars.

"Now you are only given a portion of the money, and you will be paid more generously after the mission is completed. If you find useful information, we will reward you. Qiu Luoxue said while Nie Yuan gave them money, and no one gave them five taels of silver.

After the money was distributed, the beggars rushed to set off, and Nie Yuan looked at Qiu Luoxue and said, "It's indeed a good idea."

"Of course." Qiu Luoxue smiled proudly and said, "It's time for us to set off and go to the casino to have a look."

"Have you brought enough silver?" Qiu Luoxue asked again.

"Don't worry, I won't let you lose too badly." Nie Yuan said confidently, and the two left the broken temple where the beggars lived side by side and walked towards the casino.

When Qiu Luoxue dealt with the counterfeit money case in Annan City, Xia Zimo had already returned to the capital. Although he really wanted to accompany Qiu Luoxue, there were still many government affairs to deal with in the capital.

"Your Majesty, the relevant matters after the closure of Weichen have been dealt with, the tenth day of the first month of next month is the auspicious day of the zodiac, Weichen thinks it is ......" Feng Changshi stood in the main hall and said respectfully to Xia Zimo.

Xia Zimo, who was watching the folds, didn't raise his head and said, "No need."

"Huh?" Bong Changshi let out a puzzled voice.

Xia Zimo put down the fold, looked at Feng Changshi and said, "I said that there is no need, the matter after the seal will end here."

Then he said, "I still have business to attend to, so you can go down first."

After Feng Changshi left, Xia Zimo looked at the empty hall, and there was a desk for Qiu Luoxue below, when they had handled government affairs together in the imperial study.

Looking at the empty desk, Xia Zimo thought of Qiu Luoxue again, and said to himself: "My queen is still unwilling to marry me."

"Brother Huang, why did you drive Feng Changshi out. Last time, the concubine came to test whether you were in the palace, but I sent her away with the matter of the queen. Xia Ziyan came in from outside the hall and said as he walked.

"So, who told you to say these superfluous things." Xia Zimo said, but he didn't mean to complain, just said it casually.

"Whoever told you to run out if it's okay." Xia Ziyan complained, and said: "By the way, I just saw the palace maid next to the noble concubine, I guess I heard that Feng Changshi entered the palace today, and I came to wait."

"Although the imperial brother doesn't care about the concubine, it's better to appease him, after all, his father is Jiang Shilian." Xia Ziyan suggested again.

"How is Jiang Shilian doing?" Xia Zimo asked.

"What else, the same old way, secretly helping Uncle Chen Wang win over power." Xia Ziyan replied.

Xia Zimo smiled disdainfully and said, "He really does his best."

Then Xia Zimo said again: "Jin Fu, pass on the decree ......"

"Don't you stand up?" Concubine Jiang learned the news from Feng Changshi's mouth and was very disappointed.

"It seems that the emperor knows about my invasion of the palace." Jiang Guifei muttered, and said remorsefully: "It's all my father's fault that I have to go to see the emperor."

Just when Concubine Jiang was immersed in remorse, Jin Fu's voice suddenly came from outside the palace: "The holy decree has arrived~"

When Concubine Jiang heard this voice, she immediately took the people in the palace to receive the order. She knelt on the ground, her wide dress swinging back, and she had a graceful and luxurious temperament.

"The concubine is gentle and virtuous, manages the palace well, and always cares about my condition, and I am very comforted. Ten horses of brocade are specially given...... "Jin Fu held the holy decree of black rolling gold in his hand and recited it intently.

The reason why Xia Zimo gave Jiang Guifei these rewards was just to appease her heart, and this trick was indeed effective, and when Jiang Guifei heard the content of the holy decree, a smile appeared on her face.

However, while appeasing Jiang Guifei, it also brought some other problems. That is, Qiu Luoxue will hear the news sooner or later, how will Qiu Luoxue react after hearing the news? Is it indifference? Or are you secretly angry? Or did you find Xia Zimo to question? Anyway? That's all for later.

"If the younger brother is not mistaken, the imperial brother wants to make Luo Xue the queen." Xia Ziyan asked tentatively, he already felt Xia Zimo's feelings for Qiu Luoxue. This also means that he, Xia Ziyan, can no longer take Qiu Luoxue in his heart. That woman will eventually become his imperial sister-in-law.

Xia Zimo didn't know Xia Ziyan's feelings, and said unabashedly: "I think so."

Suddenly, Xia Zimo remembered something and asked, "You knew the identity of Luoxue when you were eight years old?"

"Yes." Xia Ziyan replied simply.

"I remember that you didn't start to marry Luo Xue when you didn't mess with your father, and you were eight years old, why didn't you suddenly want to marry her? After knowing her woman's identity, shouldn't you want to marry her even more? Do you like men? Xia Zimo asked again.

"It's not like that." Xia Ziyan hurriedly denied it.

"It was my father who said that she was destined to be the woman of the Great Qin Emperor, and I didn't want to rob the imperial brother's country, at least not now." This is what Xia Ziyan thought in his heart, he naturally wouldn't say this, it is better not to have these barriers between their brothers.

"When I think about it later, I don't like her that much." Xia Ziyan said with a smile, although he was smiling, he couldn't help but show a sad look in his eyes.

However, Xia Zimo didn't notice it, he was just immersed in his thoughts and said, "Really? But how do I like her very much? When she's not around, I always miss her. ”

Saying that, Xia Zimo smiled self-deprecatingly again, and said, "I may have been poisoned by her." Although she had said many times that she didn't want to be my queen, I still liked her. ”

"What to do? Do you want to use some threats? Xia Zimo said again.

"It's not that she shouldn't be easily threatened." Xia Ziyan said.

"I would like to take the people of the world hostage and keep her by my side."

Xia Ziyan, who heard this, didn't know how to answer. He suddenly felt that maybe his imperial brother's feelings for Qiu Luoxue were deeper than his. And he seems to have a feeling that Qiu Luoxue also likes Xia Zimo. Could it be that their marriage was doomed from the beginning?

That's right, if it really can, Xia Zimo will use the world's people to blackmail and let Qiu Luoxue stay by his side. It's just that he doesn't want to use that kind of coercive means, he knows that Qiu Luoxue won't be happy like that. What he wants now is not only to let Qiu Luoxue stay by his side, but also to make her happily and voluntarily stay by his side.

For this, Xia Zimo has been working hard. This is a concession he made for Qiu Luoxue, and one day, Qiu Luoxue will understand his intentions.
