136, find out the spies
There was a long queue outside the Dongshui Bank, and people came to the bank with paper money to exchange for gold and silver, and many responsible personnel outside the bank were cleaning up the counterfeit money to prevent the counterfeit money from entering the bank. (8) (1) ΔΔ 文网ん.『 8⒈
"Official, why did you burn so much of my money?" The people were anxious when they saw that the coins they had brought were thrown into the fire next to them by the officials, and they were ready to go up and grab them.
The official sneered: "The prince said that only real money can be exchanged for gold and silver, and anyone who wants to use counterfeit money to fool around and refuse to change will be put in prison." ”
"Why do you say that my money is fake, you bully us ordinary people." When the woman saw this, she was in a hurry, and she sat down on the ground and began to cry and cry.
"Come on, pull it down, pull it down, and if you dare to disturb official business, you will all be arrested and sent to prison." The officer shouted, and immediately another soldier stepped forward and dragged them down.
The people watched many banknotes being thrown into the fire, and the center was dripping blood, and the whole family went into battle to grab so many banknotes, but it was useless, you said it was annoying.
Although the exchange of gold and silver caused a certain amount of turmoil, it generally controlled the further growth of the shock, and the whole market began to stop the collapse of the decline.
At this moment, Chen Chen was talking and laughing with the businessmen in the drunken dream building, Chen Chen drank cup after cup of tea, but the businessmen were unable to sleep and eat, the food was tasteless, and everyone's hearts were drumming.
"Why don't you eat it, huh? Is the food unpalatable? Eat it, we don't waste it. Chen Chen saw that everyone hadn't eaten much, and hurriedly persuaded everyone to eat.
But everyone looked at Chen Chen with blank eyes, and there was still food there.
Chen Chen sneered, and ordered people to retreat from singing and dancing: "Since everyone has no appetite, then let's talk about things, do you know why this king came to you today?" ”
Everyone bowed their heads and remained silent.
"As a merchant in Dongshui, you control the economic trend of Dongshui, this economic turmoil, not only did you not stop it, but on the contrary, you maliciously raised the price, further aggravating the chaos and turmoil, and what is even more odious is that you are bold, and you actually gathered a gang to incite the people to force the court to open gold and silver, this king really underestimated you." Chen Chen slammed the table, and his voice raised an octave.
Everyone was so frightened that they hurriedly left their seats and knelt on the ground, and kept shouting: "The prince is angry, the prince is atoning for his sins, it's all our fault that we were blinded by lard." ”
Chen Chen sneered: "So far, where does this king dare to be angry, if you are unhappy and cause economic turmoil, I am afraid that this huge east water will be turned upside down, and even this king may be ousted by the popular uprising, whether this life can be saved is a question." ”
"The prince is blessed with heaven, and he will definitely be able to protect our Dongshui for long-term prosperity." When everyone heard this, they were frightened, what does this mean, the prince may think that they are going to rebel, but they don't dare to rebel if they are given 10,000 guts, and for a time everyone hurriedly expressed their loyalty.
Chen Chen smiled slightly, and said with some self-deprecation: "If you don't want to stay in Dongshui, go to the bank as soon as possible to take out the gold and silver, please leave Dongshui immediately and move to another country, Dongshui Temple is small, I'm afraid I can't let go of the great god." ”
Several merchants glanced at each other and hurriedly shook their heads: "Lord Wang, I will never leave Dongshui, ask for forgiveness from Lord Wang." ”
Chen Chen closed his eyes and stopped talking, leaving the businessmen aside, but the pot exploded below.
"It's all your idea, raise prices, now it's okay, the prince has shifted his eyes to us."
"You still say that I, who took the lead in going to the door of the bank to make a fuss, is it not you who wants to take the gold and silver?"
"Don't talk nonsense, now let the prince dispel his suspicions as soon as possible, otherwise once he is driven out of Dongshui, it will probably be a nightmare."
A middle-aged man in white kneeling in the crowd sneered: "What are you afraid of, we have most of the wealth in Dongshui, how can he help us, don't scare yourself, as long as we work together, are you afraid that he won't succeed?" ”
"Well said, this king guesses that some of you are instigating, and sure enough, you can't hide the fox's tail." Chen Chen opened his eyes suddenly, stretched out his hand and pointed at the crowd, and several businessmen kneeling around him immediately stepped forward to pull him out.
"You, you" The middle-aged man looked at Chen Chen in disbelief.
Chen Chen smiled: "Why can't you think of it?" The king reckons that some of you must have instigated everyone to mess around, so let some of the soldiers disguise themselves and mix in to see who is causing trouble. It doesn't seem like you're a native of Dongshui with your accent, right? ”
"Lord Wang, I know him, he is a prince of the royal family of the Chen Kingdom, and he has been secretly doing business for the royal family of the Chen Kingdom, but I didn't expect him to get mixed up in Dongshui." Poinsettia, one of the four major merchants in the imperial capital who was good friends with Chen Chen, saw the details of this person at a glance and hurriedly reported it.
Chen Chen looked at the middle-aged man and smiled slightly: "Ao? It's the king's imperial uncle, so Chen Zhuo sent you over? ”
"Chen Chen, you are a rebel, you actually colluded with Nanzhao to betray Chen Guo, you are ashamed of the ancestors of Chen Guo." The middle-aged man struggled fiercely and spat at Chen Chen.
Chen Chen also got angry when he heard it, and he was really easy to sulk when he was wronged: "What do you know? It was Chen Zhuo's mother and son who betrayed Chen Guo, and it was they who forced the king to come to Dongshui. ”
"What are you arguing about?" Just when the middle-aged man was scolding, Shangguan Yu walked in with someone: "Lord Wang, I found out, the fake banknotes all flowed out of this person's house." ”
Shangguan Yu waved his hand, and the soldiers immediately brought several people up.
"Daddy."
"Lord Wang, why have you been arrested too?"
Chen Chen looked at a few people and couldn't help but smile: "It turned out that a family group came to Dongshui to fight against this king." ”
"Chen Chen, let us go quickly, otherwise Your Majesty and the Queen Mother will not spare you." As soon as the middle-aged lady saw Chen Chen, she immediately shouted at the top of her voice.
Chen Chen smiled slightly: "Aunt Wang is talking in her dreams?" If Chen Zhuo's mother and son really couldn't spare this king, they would have sent troops a long time ago, how could they hide in the imperial capital and send a few of you little mice to make trouble? ”
"You are really a great crime to destroy the stability of my east water, I will not be able to spare you today, come here, pull them down and immediately ask the vegetable market to behead, I haven't killed anyone for a long time, I think the people will have some memory." Chen Chen waved his hand and commanded at Shangguan Yu.
"Chen Chen, if you kill your relatives, you will have retribution, you will not die well, you will cut off your children and grandchildren." When several people heard Chen Chen's words, they were so frightened that they scolded, and the soldiers looked at Chen Chen's face dark, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to knock a few people unconscious, and then carried them out.
"You're so vicious and ruthless." Wang Ye Chen, who was caught by the soldiers, saw that his family was dragged out, and looked at Chen Chen through gritted teeth, eager to swallow it.
Chen Chen said expressionlessly: "That's right, this king is indeed vicious, otherwise Dongshui would not have today's prosperity, come on, are the rats ready, pour them into his clothes." ”
The soldier immediately walked over with the cage, Chen Chen ordered everyone to guard the door, and then left here quickly, he didn't want to see the scene later. (To be continued.) )
