Chapter 008: It's All Fakes
"Because I can't see clearly, I can only follow the map, I really want to see what is hidden under this cloud and smoke......"
"Hehe, what if you see it clearly, childe? The clouds are thick and the fog is heavy, how can human beings do it? ”
At this moment, although Baili Feng said it very lightly, his eyes were already secretly looking at Ye Yu, and his eyes were full of surprise and astonishment, which already explained his complicated feelings.
Ye Yu said disapprovingly: "In the clouds and fog? I don't mind lighting a fire and burning the clouds and mist above it."
"This painting can be painted below, but I'm afraid Childe can't afford it"
"Oh? How so? ”
Baili Feng stared at Ye Yu tightly, and said bluntly: "It will make the son's family bankrupt, and the family may be ruined......"
"The daughter is gone and comes back, if I am worried about this, I will not tell Brother Baili about this"
Looking at the hesitant Baili Feng, Ye Yuzhen smiled: "Since you have the ambition of Guan Zhong, why bother to bury yourself here all day long?" If you want to have the world in your heart, you must first have you in the world"
Ye Yu's words made this Baili Feng's body obviously shocked, but then he shook his head and said to himself: "It's just a fallen person, and how to talk about the world, the son has a good reputation......"
"Heroes don't ask where they come from, not all of them are handsome, and those who fall off the list are also geniuses. And all these people lack is an opportunity."
Baili Feng looked at Ye Yu for a long time this time, and then asked with a tone of surprise and questioning: "Mo Fei, ...... childe?"
"Brother Baili, the surname is Ye, and the single name is Yu"
Having said that, if Baili Feng still can't detect anything, it will really disappoint Ye Yu.
The guess in his heart was confirmed, and Baili Feng's love was pleasantly surprised, but he was obviously superior to ordinary people, but after calming down a little, he stood up and bowed slightly: "The student has seen Lord Ye"
"Well, Brother Baili can't be like this, since you and I are the same age, there is no need to be so rigid in etiquette"
Ye Yu was very speechless for many people to call himself a student, who made him a scholar of the Guanwen Palace.
Baili Feng is not a pedantic person, and after a few pleasantries, he returned to the state of conversation.
"Abbot Zhiyuan once recommended you in front of Ye, so Ye Mou came to test it today, I never thought that Brother Baili was really different from ordinary people......"
Last night in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, Abbot Zhiyuan recommended to Ye Yu that it was Baili Feng.
Although Bailifeng is young, he is well-informed and knowledgeable, not only has traveled for ten years and is well-informed, but also has both civil and military talents.
And the reason why Abbot Zhiyuan knows so much is because Bailifeng and Zhiyuan are friends who have forgotten their years.
Although this hundred miles of wind is not shallow in knowledge, it is loose and uninhibited by nature, especially after the imperial examination is landed, it is even more to entertain himself by selling calligraphy and paintings.
Occasionally, I went up the mountain to play two games with Zhiyuan, and I was at ease when I tasted tea and talked about Buddha.
Zhiyuan couldn't bear the muddled life of Baili Feng, so he recommended Baili Feng to Ye Yu.
After all, they are all young people, and with mutual encouragement, they may be able to use them greatly.
Regarding Abbot Zhiyuan's recommendation of Bailifeng, Ye Yu only had a questioning mentality, and he came here today to test the reality of Bailifeng.
And from Fang Cai's remarks and calm demeanor, Ye Yu recognized from his heart that what Zhiyuan said was true.
Baili Feng's attitude at the moment was much more humble: "Lord Ye has an overreputation, the student is just a man from the mountains, how dare he be praised by Lord Ye like this......"
Although he is loose and uninhibited by nature, and sometimes there is no lack of rebellious words, but these words are sincere.
For the name Ye Yu, he has been a god for a long time, but this is not worship but admiration. Now that Ye Yu is really sitting opposite him, he naturally has many emotions in his heart.
Ye Yu smiled and didn't say anything here, but said solemnly: "This official Weifu arrived in Shaoxing first, just to know the people of Shaoxing clearly, I don't know if Brother Baili can help me?" ”
"Have you really made up your mind?" Baili Feng hesitated for a moment, and then asked with a solemn expression.
"Do you think I'm joking?"
"Well, the students are willing to incarnate the 'clouds and smoke stacked maps, and guide the way for adults."
"Thank you Ye here......"
In fact, Ye Yu used the clouds and smoke as a dumb riddle, in fact, he hoped that Baili Feng could help. In Shaoxing, he is an outsider, and he is not familiar with the place and has no way to find out
Even if you can find some clues, you don't know what year or month you have to wait for the investigation.
And with the help of Baili Feng, it is equivalent to having a direction and route, and acting will be much smoother.
Therefore, the picture of clouds and smoke is not really a Danqing picture scroll, but refers to the person of Baili Feng.
Both of them are smart people, and as soon as Baili Feng heard this picture, he knew that the man in white in front of him was not good.
It was precisely because of this that Ye Yu's identity was gradually guessed.
Besides, everyone knows that in a few days, Ye Yu, who patrols the heavens, will come to Shaoxing, and it is not difficult to guess Ye Yu according to his appearance and temperament.
Baili Feng looked at the left and right and saw that there was no one else, so he lowered his voice and said: "This matter is related to dozens of lives, please allow the students to find a secluded place and explain it to the adults in detail......"
"Dozens of lives?" As soon as Ye Yu heard these words, his face suddenly became gloomy.
Knowing that this matter could not be delayed, he found a restaurant in the city and waited for Baili Feng to explain in detail in the wing.
"My lord, the students who have been unjust, false and wrongly decided in recent years will not state it, but there is one thing that may be helpful to adults on this trip to eastern Zhejiang."
Baili Feng said and took out two copper coins from his sleeve, one was badly worn and dirty, and the other was a brand new copper coin.
Put the two copper plates in front of Ye Yu, and then said solemnly: "Have you ever seen the difference between these two copper coins?" ”
Although Ye Yu didn't know what he meant, he felt that Bailifeng's move must be reasonable.
So after careful identification, he spoke: "These two copper coins, except for the old and the new, there is no difference......
Regarding Ye Yu's remarks, Baili Feng seemed to have expected it, and then smiled and said, "My lord, please put these two copper coins in the palm of your hand and give them a try." ”
Then Ye Yu weighed the two copper coins in his hand a few times, and suddenly frowned slightly, and said to himself: "This new money is actually lighter than the old money......
"What my lord said is that even if this old copper coin is sticky with dirt, it will wear out over time, and it will be much lighter than when it was baked, and this new copper coin should have just appeared, according to common sense, it will be heavier than the old money."
Hearing this, Ye Yu nodded and said, "Brother Baili means that there is something hidden in this copper coin?" ”
"Although there is a special money supervisor responsible for the production of money in the imperial court, it is not surprising that the weight of each copper coin is different."
"Although what the adults say is good, each new coin is lighter than the old one, and the plate pattern is slightly different, which is not something that common sense can explain."
"Well, the pattern of this new money is a little rough, but before this new money leaves the factory, a full-time official will be responsible for inspecting it, and if there is a flaw, it will be destroyed and recast immediately, and it will not flow into the market......"
Ye Yu thought of this, and a thought appeared in his mind: "Could it be that someone is bold and reckless and can't mint fake money in the dark?" ”
"My lord, to tell you the truth, the students were wandering in the mountains a few days ago, and it happened to be raining heavily, so they took shelter in a cave for a while. Heavy rain washed the mountain stream mud and slid down, and the result was ......"
"The result?" Ye Yu looked at Baili Feng's expression, and his heart sank.
"As a result, the students were asked to see the corpses, and then the students reported the matter to the government, and after excavation, 67 corpses were buried in the pit......
Ye Yu listened to the news and didn't speak for a long time with a stunned expression.
After a while, Ye Yu asked in a deep voice, "Do you suspect that this person's murder is related to this privately made counterfeit money?" ”
"According to the time of death of those people, it should be the time when the adults will go out of Beijing on behalf of the Heavenly Patrol. And a few of those dead bodies were recognized by the students as city blacksmiths, but they later changed careers......"
"Then have the murders of these sixty-seven people been solved now?"
Baili Feng shook his head and said: "There is no clue about this matter, so the county government will be shelved and handled as a headless public case......
"Huh, headless case? I think there's something else going on."
Ye Yu thought about it for a while, a doubt haunted his heart, and then asked: "Brother Baili, the price of this copper is not low, even if this copper coin is mixed with other substances, the value of a copper coin is not high, if the circulation is not smooth, it will not make a profit at all, and no one should be willing to take such a big crime."
It's not that Ye Yu doesn't believe in Bailifeng, it's really because the manufacturing cost of this copper coin is too high, the price of copper is very expensive, and the face value of a copper coin is too low, so the profit in it is not optimistic.
"The students are also puzzled by this matter, but this is not only counterfeit money made privately, but also circulating money."
When Baili Feng said this, the expression on Ye Yu's face became even more solemn.
"My lord, this will be officially printed and circulated by the imperial court, and the anti-counterfeiting marks of the banknotes are paper, patterns, and monograms. But now the pattern of the money is simply on the paper, not in it......"
Ye Yu took the money and looked at it carefully, but he didn't see anything unusual.
Baili Feng gently soaked the tea in the cup of banknote, and then gently split the banknote in half and placed it in front of Ye Yu.
"My lord, please see, the banknote paper is the imperial court tribute paper printed by Huizi, thick and not easy to wear, after separating it, only the upper layer has a color pattern, and there is no ...... at all below."
Baili Feng then divided a real piece into two according to the method of Fang Cai, and the result was that the layer below still had a color pattern.
Ye Yu immediately understood the reason, the workshop that made the counterfeit banknotes must not have pressed the pattern deep enough, so that the pattern was only superficial.
The paper used by Huizi is special, called banknote paper, processed with the bark of the tree as the main material, many literati make sour, and also call the banknote "Mr. Zheng".
When embossing a pattern, it is especially difficult to grasp the force, so this is a big flaw in the counterfeit banknote......
