Chapter 328: Assassination by Daylight

The wealthy and the people in the fang are different, people search at home and find tens of thousands, which is a small family for a few hundred dollars or two or three times?

If large households collectively ask for exchange, it is easy to form a run, which will put huge pressure on the supply of new banknotes, which is what Li Dan is most worried about.

So he immediately introduced new rules, and commentator articles appeared in newspapers.

On the one hand, inform everyone of the convenience, beauty and anti-counterfeiting characteristics of the new banknotes, and on the other hand, explain to the readers that if you want to exchange new banknotes or handle the withdrawal of more than 1,000 yuan at the counter, please apply to the corresponding branch 12 hours in advance, and the branch will deliver it within 12 hours from the agreed hour after the user has prepared enough banknotes.

In addition, he also gave several examples of reporters using the new banknotes to illustrate everyone's favorability of the new banknotes.

On the other hand, the banknote printing factory in Chitou began to test print the first batch of new banknotes, and the mint also began to produce auxiliary coins to ensure the supply of banks.

There is a plateau in the southeast of Xi'an, which is called Hongguyuan, and is the location of the Du Tomb of Liu Xun, the protagonist of the "Old Sword Love". Duyi is the largest settlement here, and it is also the location of Duling's mausoleum.

The southeast of the cemetery flows the surging Chan River, and the faint oil lights from the small fisherman's courtyard by the river attract the attention of the local inspection department.

"Do you really see it? How many people are there?" The tall inspector Cen Guo had a pockmarked face, and he reached out to take off the Yanling knife from the wall while asking the inspector who came to report the news.

"Master, I'll bet my head that there are no less than twelve people in that room!" The Inspector replied.

"So many?" Cen Guo stroked the beard on the side of his cheeks: "Then we don't have enough manpower!"

"Master, you don't have to catch them all." The Patrol Ding is a local oiler and knows everyone well.

"I saw Yam Qi also there, that guy don't look at it, it's actually a soft persimmon, and with a little benefit, his eyes are shining.

As long as we take him down and subdue him, not only will we be able to ask for words from his mouth, but we may also be able to make this guy a secret stake."

"Great idea!" Cen Guo slapped his thigh: "You kid still has a little brain, if you really succeed, I'll ask for credit for you!" After speaking, he took off his red tasseled and white felt hat: "Call Qi people, let's go!"

They came in groups of seven or eight to the dark behind a sheltered earthen cliff on the river beach, from which they could see the thatched hut more than three hundred paces away reflected in the bright moonlight, and a very faint light was shining from inside.

"Why stop this?" Cen Guo asked dissatisfiedly.

"Master, he has a dog at home, so he doesn't dare to come forward." The patrolman who had been kept under surveillance in the black field came up and replied.

Cen Guo didn't ask any more questions, looked at the hut, and retracted to say to himself: "Mother, I'm quite smart, if I have a dog to gather in this place, I can't get close to it, how is it good?" He thought about it and asked, "Are there any of these people with weapons?"

The inspectors naturally knew what he was up to, but they looked at each other and replied, "I didn't see any weapons, and they were all empty-handed."

"It's not going to be easy!" Cen Guo smacked his lips. If you don't have a weapon, you don't have a legitimate reason to arrest someone even if you have a party at night, so you can't be convicted of "not sleeping at night"?

"Master, Yam Qi." The reminder to deliver the letter.

"Yes!" This reminded Cen Guo, and he immediately said, "Just catch Yam Qi, if there is a noodle to follow first, don't worry about the others. Do you hear you all?"

After half an hour, the lights went out, and the people in the house carefully walked out into the moonlight and soon dispersed along the river upstream and downstream. Cen Guo and his people could see clearly from the cliff and quietly followed behind.

Ya Qi is a poor local farmer who does not have enough food to eat, so he makes a living by doing odd jobs and digging yams on the hill and selling them. He was very familiar with the local area, and even if he walked in the ditch without moonlight, he would not fall, but today was an exception.

"Holy!" He was muttering and trying to get up to see what was going on, when suddenly a weight pressed against his back, something was quickly stuffed in his mouth, his hands were turned behind his back, and then the hemp rope was put on his shoulder.

"Oops, caught!" In a flash, he was hit on the neck, and his eyes were dark and unconscious.

When he woke up, water was dripping down his head. Cen Guo's big black face was frightened

He shuddered! "Do you know where this is?" Cen Guo struck him under the forehead with the handle of the dagger.

"Master, I, I," Yam Qi rolled his eyes, "I remember that I was walking at night, and then my eyes went dark. How did I get here?"

"You don't know?"

Yam Qi's head shook like a rattle.

"You two, help him recall, recall, this kid can't remember."

Hearing Cen Guo say this, two patrolmen with big shoulders and round waists walked over with a smile, one by one set up Yam Qi, hung the rope he tied his hands on a hook, and then pulled the other end of the rope on the wooden gourd.

Yam Qi was hung in the air with only the tips of his toes on the ground, and he screamed in fright: "Master Cen spares his life, we have something to say, we don't have to do it!"

"Really? I want to say it, but haven't you forgotten everything?"

"Well, remember, it looks like I've been to the river."

"Fishing?"

"Fishing ......." As soon as Yam Qi said a word, his feet were already off the ground, so he shouted again: "It's Lao Fu's house who went fishing!"

"Dating his daughter-in-law?"

"Don't be kidding, he is alone, where is his daughter-in-law?"

"That's it, so what the hell are you going to do?"

"Uh......."

Cen Guo stepped aside and pointed to him with his finger, "Have you seen this soldering iron? For you.

If you don't answer honestly, I'll entertain you with this, if the answer satisfies me, do you see the lamb's head meat, mash wine, and stewed noodles on the table? It tastes so much better than a soldering iron! Which do you want to try first?"

"I, I," Yam Qi's lips trembled, and suddenly softened like a deflated sheepskin raft, "I said, I said it all......!"

Wei Xiong rushed into the house like a gust of wind, attracting the attention of everyone who was deliberating. "What, something happened?" Li Dan looked at him and asked quietly. Wei Xiong nodded.

Wu Mao made a gesture, and most of the people retreated, only Gu Da, Yang Yi, Liu Hongsheng and Zhao Jingzi remained unmoved.

"Guard, what's going on?" Yang Yi and Wei Xiong are old acquaintances, looking at his bright eyes, they know that things are not small.

Wei Xiong unfolded the map in his hand and said, "The Duyi Inspection Department reported that an inspector named Cen Guo found a group of people gathering at night by the Chan River, and he managed to catch one of them, and learned from the captives that they were a branch of the Zodiac Sect."

As soon as they heard this, several people in the room gathered around. "Why, in the big night, they will rebel?" Gu Da asked.

He is now a regimental training envoy, not to mention an official robe, and he has learned Li Dan's calm and majestic bearing, not to speak like before, and he has also begun to read and write.

"Lord Gu, you're right, they really want to rebel. But they're not going to attack the city, they're going to destroy the coinhouse!"

"What?" Several people were very surprised.

"The Banknote Factory? Raise an army to destroy the banknote factory? It's weird!" Yang Yi frowned: "Shouldn't the rebellion attack the city of Fuxian County?"

Zhao Jingzi began to understand, and he turned to Li Dan and Wu Mao: "Someone must give them ideas and suggestions, and then there must be a cooperative backhand to come out. It's more like a businessman came up with this idea!"

"Xianfu (Zhao Jingzi) is right! This is certainly not something that ordinary people can imagine, not to mention that now that the new banknotes have just been issued, if we cut off the source of our banknotes and launch a run, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Wu Mao said softly.

Li Dan also thought of this. Commissioned Liaoning to print new banknotes is top secret.

In order to prevent accidents during the long transportation, the convoy from Liaoning changed guards twice in the middle of the journey, so the last guard only knew that he was escorting the royal goods, but he didn't know what was in the car at all.

And on the side of Xi'an Mansion, there are only less than ten people who know about it. In other words, almost all the officials and people in Xi'an thought that the new banknote was printed and minted by the newly built banknote factory from the beginning.

Therefore, the locals naturally thought that by destroying the banknote factory, they could cut off the source of new banknotes! Therefore, this man must be a native and familiar with the affairs of the government

Officials or big businessmen.

"Go and invite Mr. Xiao, Mr. Zhou, and Mr. Lin to come over." Li Dan instructed Cao Jun.

Xiao Gui, Zhou Zheng and Lin Yutang soon came, and they were all shocked when they heard about it. Li Dan, who had already heard all of Wei Xiong's reports, told them that the gang planned to do it tomorrow night:

"The meeting place is in the valley between the east side of the Mausoleum of Qin II and the mouth of the Yellow Qu, and the number of people is expected to be about 4,000 to 6,000." Li Dan finished talking and looked at everyone:

"I think this is a great opportunity to eradicate the Zodiac forces around Jingzhao, you see?" There was a lot of agreement.

"My lord, they shouldn't be the only target of the banknote." Zhou Zheng thought about it and said.

"I agree with King Zhou's idea." Lin Yutang told everyone:

"I have news here, rickshaw dealers have reported suspicious people walking around the bank branch. There is also news that similar situations have been found near Yongning Gate (South Gate) and Changle Gate (East Gate)."

"Let's make a hypothesis, what if the whole thing was a merchant in the city and the Zodiac Sect working together?" Zhao Jingzi asked.

"Shouldn't it?" Wu Mao frowned: "Rectifying the economy is beneficial to businessmen, why did he do this? It doesn't make sense!"

Li Dan thought for a while, looked up and told Xiao Gui and Wei Xiong, "You two go back and arrange to closely monitor Yan Xin's family and check for any suspicious movements!"

"Do you suspect the Yan family?" Wu Mao was surprised: "Aren't they very active in participating in the New Deal?"

"Yan Xin has seen some inexplicable guests recently, and I have just left Beijing, and before I arrived in Xi'an, he actively ran to the prefect's gate to express his willingness to dedicate the garden as a business, which is very suspicious!"

Li Dan said, "No matter what, there is nothing wrong with being careful. As long as he doesn't come nonsense, I will never touch him for the sake of the Yan family's cooperation."

"My lord, I have one more concern." Wei Xiong suddenly said, pointing to the map after being encouraged to speak: "The storage area of Hunyi has just been built, the walls are not high, and there are not many guards.

If I were a thief, I wouldn't let this place go! Moreover, the guy who caught him also confessed that when they had a secret meeting, the master who came to announce it to them said something that "the east and the west are linked, so that the government cannot take care of each other."

We've cracked this east, so what does the west mean? Could it be a warehouse?"

"Oh, the old guard can use his brains too!" Gu Da exaggerated, and everyone laughed.

"Brother Wei has a point, this matter must be guarded against!" Li Dan stared at the map and nodded, "It seems that our opponent has prepared a big meal, so wow, let's compete with him to see who has the appetite to swallow the other party in his stomach!"

He asked everyone to make arrangements and preparations separately, and he went to the political envoy Yamen to talk to Jiang Cunli about the matter in person.

He rode on Zaoliu'er, took Cao Jun, Li Qin, Li Shuo and Du Shiji, and came through the North Gate Inner Street where the political envoy Si Gongfu was located through Changle Gate.

Passing through the city of mules and horses, you can see the tower of Kaiyuan Temple towering in front of the left. This Tang tower is full of shape and dignified, and the sound of the bronze duo on the tower is heard in the wind.

Suddenly, Li Dan felt a figure flash in his eyes, and instinctively turned sideways immediately with his experience of experiencing the battle formation.

"Bang", a feathered arrow sent him from his horse to the dust.

Cao Jun in the back shouted, "There are assassins!" Immediately stepped forward to protect him, and the soldiers behind him shouted, "There is someone on the tower!" He rushed to the temple. There was immediately chaos on the streets, chickens and dogs jumped, and people hurriedly took refuge.

The bamboo whistle sounded, and after a while, multiple bamboo whistles blew everywhere. After Li Dan entered Xi'an, he strengthened the control of the city and partially restored the bad handsome system of the Tang Dynasty.

If there is an accident in the city, there will be patrols of the city, inspections, and bad marshals to lead people from all walks of life to surround the accident site and perform their duties to search for suspects. Look at the book

But Li Dan no longer knew what was happening, he was helped by everyone to get on his horse and lie on his stomach, and the rest were surrounded by the rest, and the horse trotted all the way to the door of the political secretary.

Everyone carried Li Dan into the gate with all hands and feet, and then quickly sent him to the back office. Qin Cha was assassinated, Jiang Cunli was shocked and ordered the whole city to be closed under martial law, and there was no one to command the envoy to sign and approve anyone

No entry or exit. The atmosphere in Xi'an suddenly became tense.

"Ladies and gentlemen, vote for me!"
