Xingqing four years, early spring, three watches, Lin'an City, outside the Wulin Gate, grass market.

There are tens of thousands of people along the river in the grass market, the residents are dense, the shops are lined up, and the transactions are prosperous, which is no different from the original urban area within the Lin'an City, and even more lively. The houses in the grass market are of different heights and dense, and the streets are as dense as weaving nets, and it is also a good place for some criminal acts.

Heaven and earth are shrouded in darkness and gloom, the streets are full of passers-by, the cold wind is howling, the branches are shaking, and from time to time fallen leaves are shaking from the trees, cold and lonely, filling the night.

At the entrance of the "Sunjia Grain Store" at the end of the street, two white lanterns blown by the wind swayed left and right, and the dim lights swayed up and down, illuminating the palm-sized place at the entrance of the store.

"Figured it all out? You can't go wrong, right? ”

In a corner, dozens of black shadows squatted, and a black shadow in the lead asked a person next to him.

"Don't worry! Mayor Cao, the villain is bold, and he doesn't dare to lie to you! This place has been idle for a long time, so we should start it sooner to save them from slipping away again! ”

The answerer lowered his voice, swore an oath, and did not forget to remind him.

"Remember! You don't know anything, keep your mouth tight! ”

Mayor Cao looked at the black shadow and told him seriously.

After half a year of secret visits, I put a long line to catch big fish, and the bright line and dark line can not be out of the half-point pool.

"Mayor Cao, although rest assured, the villain still wants to live for two more years! But be careful, these guys are vicious, they have all the guys in their hands, but be careful! ”

Although the swords, guns, and spears of the Great Song Dynasty were sold publicly, although there were examination and regulations, it was inevitable that swords, guns, and weapons would flow into the hands of ill-intentioned criminals in various ways, and they would be used as traitors.

"Dong Er, I have a heart."

Mayor Cao took out a stack of coins and handed them to Dong Er, who thanked him again and again, and carefully packed the money.

Mayor Cao turned his head and whispered to another dark figure squatting next to him.

"Hong Xianggong, you don't use these little things at all. Don't you feel at ease when I do things with the forbidden army? ”

Mayor Cao's surname is Cao, because of a leg injury in the northwest battlefield, he had to retire, so he got the position of deputy mayor of Renhe Town, Renhe County, Lin'an Prefecture, and was in charge of the town's public security.

As for Renhe Town, the "town" government institution, it is obviously a new product of the new township-level institutions under the rule of the new emperor.

"Mayor Cao, it's not that I'm not at ease, but the counterfeit money is very important, it is related to the country, Your Majesty is staring at the back, I have to come over. You don't know, Director Xu hasn't stopped yet, and he is waiting for our news in the Yamen of the Anti-Corruption Department, I'm afraid he wants to report the counterfeit money to the emperor! ”

Hong Tianxi, the new science and technology scholar in the second year of Xingqing, finally followed the emperor's advice and entered the anti-corruption department, working under Xu Liang, the director of the anti-corruption division of the two Zhejiang.

"I see!"

Cao Yi was taken aback, and then became serious.

"Hong Xianggong don't worry, this time these guys will be uprooted!"

The emperor personally inquired, no wonder the forbidden army was dispatched. So many court officials are staring, but they have to cheer up their spirits.

Dong Er on the side heard it clearly, and secretly sweated. Unexpectedly, the emperor of the Ninety-Five Supreme also set his sights on the matter of counterfeit money. These counterfeit guys are going to be out of luck.

If he knew that this was the case, he should have asked Cao Yi for more money.

Cao Yi looked at the sky and said softly.

"Order everyone, prepare to arrest people, and those who disobey will be killed!"

As the military order was handed down, countless forbidden troops with guns and bows appeared from the darkness, like ghosts, and they soon surrounded the "Sun Family Grain Store", sticking to the root of the wall, blending in with the night.

Cao Yi limped to the door of the store, waved his hand coldly, and some forbidden soldiers cautiously climbed the wall from the darkness and climbed up.

"Who's ......"

The forbidden army jumped off the wall, but after all, it still startled the men who were on guard in the courtyard, one of them asked, and the two of them grabbed knives and guns together, raising their vigilance.

A "whoosh" sound sounded, and several crossbow arrows rushed in, and the two of them were hit by arrows in the chest throat and fell down in response. The forbidden army squatted in the courtyard, waiting for the battle, as if the whistling wind drowned out the sound of crossbow arrows and falling to the ground, and did not arouse the alarm of the people in the house.

The door of the shop was opened, and the forbidden soldiers entered the courtyard, and the door was gently slammed shut.

The forbidden army entered the courtyard, and two rows of crossbowmen of the forbidden army stood in the courtyard, squatting in the front row and standing in the back row, with the crossbow bow raised horizontally, and the sharp arrows aimed at the main room. The other forbidden troops moved forward to the area around the main house, some armed with spears, and some of them unscrewed the iron cover with the earth-shattering thunder in their hands.

Mayor Cao and Hong Tianxi entered the courtyard, and the two corpses in the courtyard were impressively visible, apparently the guards who had been shot and killed by the other party.

Mayor Cao nodded, and several forbidden soldiers came to the outside of the main room, clinging to both sides of the door.

The grain store covers a large area, with sundries piled up in the front and back yards, and a two-story main house in the middle spanning east and west. The house was brightly lit, but because the walls, doors and windows were covered with black cloth, there was hardly any wind and grass inside that could be seen outside.

"Hurry up! It's almost dawn! ”

Inside the room, a scribe in his forties whispered to the busy men and women, his face gloomy.

Doing this kind of headless thing, he can't help but be nervous.

On the long table in front of him, there were stacks of huizi, and on the huizi, there were five big characters such as "Xing in the Huizi Library", "Da Yi Guan Wen Province", "Forge Huizi Prisoners Punished ......" and other handwritings were clear.

Some men and women are carefully screened, sorted and sorted, bundled neatly, with a clear division of labor and an orderly manner.

And in various parts of the room, some big men with sharp blades in their hands, watching every move of everyone in the room.

"Hurry up! Don't be lazy! ”

A dignified-looking man in a green robe and a black head followed softly, and walked over to comfort the scribe.

"Li Daguan, the big guy has stayed up late every day these days, and he is tired. Take care of yourself. ”

"Sun Er, I can't help it, someone above is urging. The government is tracking down tightly and has to be careful. ”

As he spoke, the scribe still sat down, and Sun Er hurriedly added hot tea to the scribe.

"Li Daguan, don't worry! It's a remote place, and the big guy is careful and will never go wrong! ”

"Hopefully. Somehow, my right eye has been jumping all the time these days, which makes my heart go up and down! ”

Li Daguan picked up the tea and drank it slowly absentmindedly.

"Li Daguan has more than 300,000 yuan, quite a lot. ...... above"

Sun Er said softly, pointing his finger to the second floor.

I'm afraid that the people above have some backgrounds.

"Sun Er, do your errand, take your share, don't inquire, and don't meddle. Asking too much won't do you any good. ”

Li Daguanren frowned, Sun Er nodded again and again, and stopped talking.

Li Daguan's eyes gestured to the door.

"Sun Er, if you go out to see it in person, I always feel a little unsettled!"

Sun Er hurriedly agreed, and as soon as he walked to the door, a knock on the door sounded, accompanied by a low voice.

"Second brother, it's cold outside, give a cup of hot tea to drink."

"These bastards, their mouths are still tricky!"

Sun Er lifted the teapot from the honeycomb coal stove on the side of the door, took the bowl, and went over to open the door.

“…… Fast...... Run ......"

The teapot and tea bowl in Sun Shuang's middle school fell to the ground, the word "run" was hoarse, and his body was kicked down and fell to the ground.

"Don't move! Get down! ”

"Death to those who resist!"

The door was slammed open, and the forbidden soldiers poured in, and they ran to all corners of the room in groups of several people, some of the forbidden soldiers shot crossbows and bows, and strong men with sharp blades fell to the ground one after another. Some of the forbidden troops rushed to the second floor, and those who stood stabbed and shot down one after another, without mercy.

At the same time that Sun Er's body was kicked down, Li Daguan moved like a rabbit, got up and rushed to the back door behind him, and as soon as the door was opened, he was forced back by a few bright guns and squatted on the ground.

"Spare your life! We just helped Yin Huizi, and we were all forced by them! ”

"We are all innocent! Spare your life! ”

The forbidden soldiers were fierce, and there were people in the room begging for mercy.

"Squat! Let's not talk about killing! ”

The forbidden army was unmoved, and the air was cold.

On the second floor, the screams and fights were endless, and it seemed that someone broke the window and jumped off the building, followed by the screams in the backyard. The men and women squatting on the ground on the first floor with their heads hugged, including Li Daguan, all of them had faces like dirt, and they didn't dare to come out.

The forbidden army is blockaded in all directions, layer by layer, and there is no way to escape unless it flies away.

The fight finally came to an end, Mayor Cao and Hong Tianxi entered the room, Hong Tianxi came to the table, picked up a scattered brand new meeting and glanced at it, and snorted coldly.

It was clearly written on the meeting that "forgers will be beheaded", and these people are bold and bold enough to take risks driven by profits.

Looking at these printed meetings, I'm afraid there will be hundreds of thousands.

"Mayor Cao, there's still one on it!"

Several forbidden soldiers came down from the second floor, carrying a few cloth bags, and opened them in front of Mayor Cao and Hong Tianxi, which was full of printed huizi. Followed by a few well-dressed men, they were escorted down.

"Steward Yang, it's been a long time!"

Hong Tianxi looked at the steward of the famous "Yang's Gold and Silver Shop" in Lin'an City, and said coldly.

This man didn't know him, but he knew him well.

The dignified "Yang's Gold and Silver Shop", dealing in coins, and also came to buy counterfeit money, knowing the law and breaking the law, I am afraid it will be over.

"Spare your life! Spare your life! ”

Steward Yang's face was like earth, muttering to himself, and he collapsed to the ground.

"Li Daguan, not to mention that your porcelain shop is shoddy, and now you are still buying and selling counterfeit money. Have you ever thought about how your wife and children will make a living in the future? ”

Hong Tianxi's eyes turned to Li Daguanren, shook his head and sighed, Li Daguanren knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and "Bangbang" sounded.

"Shangguan, spare your life! I'm all recruited! I'm all recruited! It's all Liu Inspector who is buying and selling counterfeit money, I'm just an errand runner! ”

"Li Daguan, go back and confess well, strive for leniency, the greater the meritorious service, the lighter the crime!"

Hong Tianxi waved his hand, and the forbidden army took Li Daguan and the people aside.

"Hong Xianggong, this is the copper plate of Huizi!"

Mayor Cao took the forged copperplate and handed it to Hong Tianxi with a happy face.

"Mayor Cao, all the papers, papers, paints, printing machines, etc., all bring back to the Anti-Corruption Division!"

Hong Tianxi held the copperplate and whispered.

The forbidden soldiers escorted the prisoners out, and it was already dark.

Looking at the gradually brightening sky in the east, Hong Tianxi let out a sigh of relief.

The counterfeit money case finally gave an explanation to the emperor.

I heard that the emperor is going to set up some kind of bank to deal with counterfeit money, and I don't know if it's true or not?
