But everyone knows how this batch of silver came from.

Why did that one give Chen Qianyuan a counterfeit banknote?

Moreover, this counterfeit banknote is particularly realistic, if it were not for an old official like him who has worked in the Criminal Department for decades, he would definitely not be able to see it.

Or is this one a counterfeit?

Zhong Jian picked up the stack of silver tickets next to him and began to look at them one by one.

The more I looked, the tighter my brow furrowed.

These silver tickets, like the first one, have problems.

But it's so fake that even he can only detect that something is wrong, but he can't say what is wrong.

If you don't make a mistake in judgment, this fake technique is simply not too good.

"General Li, take a step to speak." Zhong Jian turned around and looked at Li Changkong with a solemn expression.

Hearing this, Li Changkong didn't react, but Zhang Hongfa said first: "You talk, there is still something to do in the poor road, so I will leave first." ”

"Chen Qianyuan, how to deal with it, how to deal with it, Poor Dao should have confiscated such an apprentice!"

When Li Changkong heard this, he also nodded, since this batch of gold, silver and jewelry was found, the whole thing has completely changed its nature!

After Zhang Hongfa left, Zhong Jian was still not at ease, and said to the officials of the Criminal Department: "You go out to look at the wind, I have important matters to discuss with General Anbei." ”

When the officials of the Criminal Department heard this, they got up and left.

After a while, only Zhong Jian and Li Changkong were left in the entire secret room.

At this time, Zhong Jian lowered his voice and explained the whole story in Li Changkong's ear.

"Counterfeit bills?" Li Changkong groaned a little, frowned, and said, "Are you sure there are all problems?" ”

Zhong Jian nodded and said, "I can't say why, but it's really wrong." ”

"What about the others? Gold and silver jewelry and agate jadeite, etc., also have questions? ”

"No, only the silver ticket is wrong." Prison Road.

Hearing this, Li Changkong's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

If there is only a problem with the silver ticket, then the matter is big!

Agate jadeite is a treasure, even if it is fake, it is only a matter of tens of thousands of taels of silver.

But the silver ticket is the currency in circulation today!

If there is a problem, I am afraid it will shake people's livelihood!

After thinking about it for a while, Li Changkong took a deep breath and said in the same low voice: "Lord Zhong, this matter is very important!" ”

"This batch of silver tickets, your criminal department will hide them first, don't report them."

"I'll talk about it until it's true or not."

When Zhong Jian heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he said, "This batch of silver tickets is not a small number, and so many people have seen it just now. ”

"Even if I am the secretary of the Criminal Department, if I want to intercept it and not report it, I am afraid that it will not be possible."

"What's more, this matter was ordered by His Majesty, if something goes wrong..."

"It's okay, if something really goes wrong, I'll be responsible, and I won't implicate Lord Zhong."

"Also... If this batch of silver tickets cannot be intercepted, can it be replaced? ”

"Swap it out?" Zhong Jian was dumbfounded: "What do you mean by General Li's words?" ”

"The prince and I paid for it and took out the same amount of silver tickets, and the criminal department first handed over these silver tickets as stolen money, and the counterfeit money was left to study slowly."

"Huh?" Zhong Jian is even more dumbfounded, there are a lot of silver tickets in this batch!

Not to mention that there are hundreds of thousands of taels, this... Is the Marquis of Wuling Mansion so generous?

"That can't be done?" Li Changkong couldn't help frowning.

"It can be done! General Li can rest assured that although he can't intercept all the silver tickets, he can just change them, and I still have this ability. ”

"Okay, then without further ado, I'll go back and raise money first, and discuss with the prince by the way."

"There is Lord Lao Zhong here to preside over the overall situation, just do what you want, just go through the process."

"Understood!"

After a while, Li Changkong hurried down Wugong Mountain, and did not go home, so he went straight to the East Palace.

As the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army, the soldiers of the Qianlong Battalion guarding the gate of the East Palace are all his direct subordinates, plus he is familiar with the prince, everyone knows it.

So you can come almost whenever you want, and you don't need to pass it on.

I don't know how much more convenient it is than ordinary officials.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! As soon as Li Changkong entered the door, he opened his throat and shouted.

"Lao Li, what are you shouting, here!" After a while, Liu Yu came out, and when he saw Li Changkong, he knew that there was something big, and hurriedly led him into the door.

But when I entered the door, I realized that something was wrong.

There is another person who is also in the palace, it is Princess Huaiqing!

"Minister Li Changkong, I have seen Her Royal Highness the Princess!" In front of the most prestigious woman in the royal family, Li Changkong couldn't let go, and bowed generously.

"I've seen General Lee." Huaiqing only felt that his heart suddenly skipped two beats, but he still looked as usual on the surface, stood up and returned the salute.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess, is this discussing with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"It's not an important matter, it's just a chatter, if General Li has something important, Huaiqing can avoid it first."

"What did the princess say, you are the sister of His Royal Highness's mother, what else can't be said in front of you?"

Li Changkong smiled and didn't say anything else, but took the lead in asking: "Your Highness, Your Royal Highness the Princess, I want to ask a question before the minister makes this matter." ”

"How is the expenditure of King Jing's Mansion for a year compared to the East Palace?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Yu almost did not hesitate to say: "Far inferior!" ”

"King Jing's Mansion and East Palace are both silver from the treasury, and there is not much difference between the two. It's just that the East Palace is exhausted every year, but the Jingwang Mansion has a large surplus. ”

"Brother Jing will also return the remaining silver to the treasury, and over time, his father will love him more and more, and his reputation will become more and more famous." Princess Huaiqing added Liu Yu's statement.

"But... Today, the minister dug out a secret room in Chen Qianyuan's house, and there were countless gold, silver, jewelry, jade, and jade in the secret room, and the silver tickets were piled up in baskets, and the preliminary estimate was that there were hundreds of thousands of silver taels!"

As soon as these words came out, both of them were taken aback.

Although one of them is a prince and the other is a princess.

But Emperor Jing Xing has always advocated frugality and does not like extravagance and waste.

So they have no worries about food and clothing, but they have never seen so much silver.

Liu Yu is okay, he has made some money through the business of Zhenguo Fast Food.

But Huaiqing really hadn't seen so much silver, and when he heard Li Changkong's explanation, he felt a little frightened.

"How can a mere Taoist priest have so much silver?"

"I'm afraid this money is coming from the wrong way!" Huaiqing said.

"What the princess said is very true, most of this silver was given by King Jing, and it was used to bribe Chen Qianyuan and abolish the prince and establish King Jing."

"No, we have already said that the annual expenses of King Jing's Mansion are far inferior to those of the East Palace."

"These hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, even the East Palace is difficult to take out at one time, let alone King Jing's Mansion." Princess Huaiqing's brows tightened, and she fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he said in a determined tone: "This batch of silver is fake!" ”

"If there is something else, you will not be so flustered, but I am afraid that the one who cheats is a silver ticket!"

"This is a fundamental matter related to people's livelihood!"
