"Let's change it, I don't like these copper coins." Taking the copper coin from Chen Jintong's hand, Dongfang Xuanze grasped it and put it on the table, he was reminding the shopkeeper not to deceive people with tricks, this low-level deception will be easily exposed.

But the shopkeeper didn't see through the embarrassment at all, he slowly grasped the copper coin, slowly approached his storage cabinet, replaced a few brand new coppers, and then sent the copper over with a polite smile.

Chen Jintong took a look and found that the copper luster was wrong, the general copper is forged from brass, and the copper coin will radiate a faint pearl after casting, which is a kind of luster unique to silver coins.

At this moment, the color of the copper she saw was white, indicating that the material was likely to be an alloy body, but it was difficult to say what it was.

Dongfang Xuanze was already a little angry, his eyes stared at the old man with hatred, and at the same time that Chen Jintong took the copper, he stood on tiptoe and stared at the old man's box very quickly, and found that the copper in it was the same.

When she saw this, she seemed to understand something.

"East." Chen Jintong signaled Dongfang Xuanze not to be mad, she took the copper from the old shopkeeper's hand, smiled and thanked him, and the two of them were on their way.

"This copper is not right." Dongfang Xuanze's eyes were solemn, holding the copper and looking repeatedly, the weight of alloy and brass is different, the alloy is slightly higher than brass, and the density is also different. The alloy is looser, and the brass is much denser.

No one knows who made so much fake money, these coppers can be circulated in this poor countryside, to the front, Chen Jintong saw that there were sugar gourds for sale, and bought two strings in the past, she took out the copper nervously, thinking that the other party would refuse, where did she know that people just took it at a glance.

Chen Jintong continued to experiment with fake money, but found that no one saw the problem, and then, in the back and forth transactions, Chen Jintong was shocked that the people in this town used fake money.

The so-called fake is true and false, and at this moment fake money has replaced the existence of real money, and everyone has become accustomed to using fake money.

"It's horrible!" Chen Jintong only felt sweaty, behind this conspiracy, what kind of greedy hands were manipulating.

Someone forged a counterfeit coin, put it on the market in large quantities, and then took the real copper coin himself, which is a good deal.

"Check it out, I'm not in a hurry to go back to Beijing anyway." Dongfang Xuanze hates this kind of deception the most, he is already angry at the moment, but he is used to being the kind of person who is not angry, so he doesn't have any special performance.

In the afternoon, someone came from the Black Wind Cliff, Chen Jintong and Dongfang Xuanze told them about the matter, and when those people heard it, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded, "Although the subordinates are from this county, the subordinates rarely go out, and the young master, you also know the identity of the subordinates." ”

"Nonsense," Chen Jintong quickly found a loophole in this person's words: "If you don't go out, where does the food and clothing of the people in the manor come from?" ”

"Young lady," the man seemed to be messing around, in his opinion, Chen Jintong was the most difficult Fujin in the East, "You don't know, what we do is a knife and lick blood, no one is willing to show up, as for clothes, we have tailors in the house, who settle accounts year after year, and gave them silver years ago." ”

"There are thousands of acres of fertile land outside our manor, which are all our own, and we really need things to come out to procure, but even if we go to buy things, it is a time-honored brand, and we never pay for money and goods, we sign the bill, and we only calculate the account once a year, and everyone knows our style of Heifeng Cliff, so it is the first time I have seen this kind of copper."

The man held it and looked at it, bit it with the back groove, and found that there were faint marks on the copper, and the brass would not show traces anyway, which was incredible.

"Check! Who's doing it. Dongfang Xuanze gave an order, the man was in awe, and immediately nodded, "Young master, don't worry, there will be results in 357 days, and once there is a slush claw, I will report it to you immediately." ”

"Okay, it's on you." Dongfang Xuanze closed his eyes.

Chen Jintong had something to say here, and patted the man on the shoulder: "Come here, let's talk for five cents." ”

The man approached Chen Jintong, his eyes were a little cowardly, a little innate servile respect, Chen Jintong said: "Don't be afraid of me, we are on an equal footing, let me ask you if there is a blacksmith shop or mine nearby?" ”

"Out of our town and two miles to the east, there is a place for forging iron mines, and the old and young masters in the town are all doing things in it, and it is also prosperous."

"Okay, got it! This matter will be handed over to you in the future, pay attention to safety during the investigation, and go ahead. Chen Jintong waved at the man.

When the man went, Chen Jintong began to straighten things out, looking at Chen Jintong's ready appearance, Dongfang said, "Where are you going?" ”

"The iron mine is nearby, I see them selling dog meat on sheep's heads, and go over to find out, will you go?" Chen Jintong silently invited with his eyes, Dongfang Xuanze got up, "What do you mean, there is a secret in this mining area?" ”

"Nine times out of ten, it's not simple, let's go and see." Chen Jintong felt that this matter should be grasped from the source.

This kind of trade can only be circulated in small isolated towns, and once it reaches a place where there are many people, everyone can discern the treasure, and who will be deceived.

Seeing that night was falling, the two of them changed their night clothes and got on their horses and looked for the place described by the person in charge of the Black Wind Cliff in the daytime, the town was not very big, and the terrain was not very complicated, and it only took a short time for the two of them to find the mine in the mouth.

From ancient times to the present, people's working time is very regular, modern society is 9 to 5, from Chen Jintong after she also found that the ancient society work time is every morning from the hour to the afternoon of the unitary hour.

Eight o'clock to five o'clock.

Same!

But at this moment, they saw that the mine was fighting at night, and the lights were bright, which made Chen Jintong and Dongfang Xuanze very curious.

The two of them were as light as swallows, staring outside the wall, both of them showed surprised expressions, and Chen Jintong pointed inside.

"These people are really strange, they don't sleep in the middle of the night, it's so suspicious, go in and take a look."

"There are dogs in the mines, and there are mastiffs in it."

"Don't be afraid, I have my own arrangements." Chen Jintong rose from the ground and went up to the high wall, the wall was very high, and the two of them flew inside, and there were really mastiffs rushing over, but they quickly knocked Chen Jintong unconscious.

After Chen Jintong landed, she unhurriedly took out a chicken intestine rubber band from her sleeve, and she crossed the thumb and index finger of her left hand to form a slingshot launcher.
