.,

Fang Jifan's words gave everyone a glimmer of hope.

People... can they really be found?

then silver...

But all of this seemed to be within Fang Jifan's expectations.

As the news spread, at least the capital was a little more stable.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Jifan and Wang Bushi got together.

Five million taels of silver was paid out. With such a large amount of silver, and it is still missing, Wang Bushi is still really indifferent.

In fact, he didn't really care about it.

If a person knows how to earn money, as long as he has enough capital, he can always earn the money back easily.

But for a person, the more money he has, it is precisely the time when he is most uneasy. If he can do something for the world, it is not a bad thing.

So in these years, Wang Bushi has lavishly supported many people and opened many philanthropic halls. Of course, compared with the speed at which he earns money, this expenditure is still too slow.

Wang Bushi took his seat, Shi Shiran held the teacup and took a sip of tea leisurely.

Fang Jifan had a bad temper and ignored him.

Wang Bushi was not angry either.

Perhaps... the biggest advantage of Fang Jifan, who has a brain disorder, is that he doesn't have to spend all his time thinking about people's hearts and the so-called art of speaking.

When I was young, I was like this, how?

Everyone laughed it off, the child is still brain-dead, and he doesn't have the same knowledge as him.

Now, as they get older, these people who laugh it off, even if they think Fang Jifan thinks that he shouldn't be a child, but they are used to it. The first time he was born, the second time he was acquainted, no matter how outrageous things Fang Jifan did, everyone would not take it seriously.

The guards who came in a hurry filed in and began to report the case.

Fang Jifan squinted his eyes, looked sleepy, and sat on the chair, not seeming to care about these latest reports.

His Majesty ordered the results to be found out in three days, so... naturally it will be three days.

As for Wang Bushi, he was not in a hurry, still calm and calm, gently took off his big sunglasses, breathed towards the mirror, then took out a silk handkerchief, and wiped it carefully.

only……

Suddenly, Fang Jifan seemed to wake up, opened his eyes, turned his eyes slightly to one side, crossed his legs and said, "What do you think about this case?"

Wang Bushi said with a smile: "The lower officials don't have any opinions. With the Duke of Qi, he can easily capture him."

This guy... speaks very nicely.

Fang Jifan nodded naturally: "Of course, otherwise I'd be sorry for your five million taels of silver, and I'd better recover the stolen goods."

Wang Bushi smiled and said: "Five million taels is not a small amount, but compared with such important family and country affairs, it is nothing more than mediocre."

A rare flash of surprise flashed in Fang Jifan's eyes, he glanced at Wang Bushi strangely, and couldn't help but said, "You don't love money?"

"No." Wang Bushi shook his head directly.

Fang Jifan looked in disbelief.

Wang Bushi then explained: "The sage has a saying. If you are poor, you will be good for yourself, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world. The lower officials are the disciples of the sages. This truth is understandable. What's more, no matter how much money the lower officials earn, it is just hair. There are many things in the world, which are much more important than money. To be honest with the Duke of Qi, the lower officials do have some floating wealth. It is because of this that they have some confidence and know that the easiest thing in the world The matter is precisely what money can solve.”

Fang Jifan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this person is very enlightened, almost surpassing Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan became more interested in talking, and said: "This is your opinion. The problems you think money can solve are small things. But there are still many people in this world who love money like their lives. They regard wealth as a It's more important than life, because... people live, it's too hard, with no clothing, no food, for them, life is worse than death."

Wang Bushi looked at Fang Jifan thoughtfully, and then said: "Your official has been taught. However, I think that Duke Qi seems to mean something."

Fang Jifan sighed and said, "I can't eat or sleep when I think about how many people have suffered from the traitors. Your Majesty ordered us to catch this criminal, but what happens after we catch him and return the stolen goods? Xueshi Wang Have you ever thought about how to return the stolen goods next? You must know that the recovered stolen goods will definitely not be able to return all the money to the victim. How many."

Wang Bushi understood, and said succinctly: "Naturally, everything depends on the male horse of Qi State."

"Okay." Fang Jifan clapped the case excitedly: "I knew you were a conscientious person."

Baoding Prefecture Xishan Bank.

A man came to collect a sum of Daming Banknotes.

This person was dressed as a merchant and delivered the treasure to the counter.

After the clerk behind the counter took the banknote, he only glanced at it, and while doing the registration, he winked at the bank guard at the side.

Daming banknotes are issued based on the credit of gold and silver.

To be precise, it belongs to the silver standard currency.

Because of this, the Xishan Bank guarantees that anyone who holds the banknotes can come to the bank to exchange the full amount of silver.

However, not many people actually come to exchange money.

After all, Daming Banknotes have excellent credit, and are easy to carry and trade.

convenient.

But there are also a small number of people who are always worried, and there are also cases of withdrawals.

After a while, the merchant was invited to the back of the bank.

Before he sat down, seven or eight warriors surrounded him, and the leader said: "The guest officer wants to take ten thousand taels of silver?"

The merchant's face was not overly panicked, and he asked, "Yes, yes, is there any problem?"

"Yes, where did this treasure come from?"

"This...is for business, why..."

"Heh...someone asked you to withdraw it?"

The merchant finally couldn't hold back the panic in his heart anymore, his face suddenly changed, and he wanted to escape subconsciously.

It's just a pity that there is no escape at all.

Someone had already restrained him.

The leading warrior yelled: "Interrogate carefully and trace the source of this treasure, huh... You know, the master behind you is a key criminal wanted by the court, and has a lot to do with Ruyi Bank. He invested five million taels in Ruyi Bank, all of which were new banknotes issued by Xishan Bank, and all these new banknotes were marked. He had long expected that the prisoner would flee, not only to hide his name, but also to flee overseas. , but if you want to escape, you have to take these treasures and exchange them, but you don’t know that all these treasures have been marked, huh...you see..."

Merchants have been pushed to the ground.

The samurai stepped forward, and the heels of his boots ruthlessly stepped on the back of his hand.

The merchant howled.

The samurai's expression was full of satisfaction, and he grinned: "Look, shouldn't you say something about the case that Duke Qi personally handled? To tell you the truth, a person like you who is entrusted to come to collect the money must be Quite a few, in order not to arouse suspicion, it must be the money houses scattered all over the place. Now... I am afraid that all of them will be arrested. For Duke Qi's face, you should always give some. If you don't say it, some people will say, At that time, don't regret it, Qi Guogong has a bad temper, you know it."

The merchant's face was miserable, and he gritted his teeth: "I don't know anything, these treasures are picked up..."

The patience of the samurai has reached its limit: "Fight for a few hours first!"

Tianjin Wei Liuji Pawn Shop.

A man who looked like a merchant appeared, and then took out a banknote of 30,000 taels of silver.

This pawn shop is responsible for a wide range of transactions. In addition to pawning, they are also responsible for exchanging treasure notes.

Some precious banknotes are not visible, and it is extremely cumbersome to go to the bank to exchange them. Therefore, if someone needs real gold and silver urgently, they will bring the precious banknotes directly to the pawn shop.

Pawnshops often have enough gold and silver. Of course, the premise is that the pawnshop will take 10% of the profits, 30,000 taels of silver, and only exchange 27,000 taels of silver.

Seeing such a big deal, the pawnbrokers didn't dare to call the shots, and immediately went to the backyard to inform the owner.

Not long after, the owner came out, and he met with the businessman without showing any signs of expression, talked for a few words, and then said: "It takes one or two hours to count and raise such a large amount of money, please wait a moment."

The merchant's face was very calm, and he nodded.

But not long after, a group of warriors rushed in.

Then, the merchant saw the owner of the pawnshop smiling meaningfully at him.

The warriors unceremoniously knocked the merchants to the ground.

The owner of the pawn shop said: "Brother, I have offended you. There is something wrong with your precious banknote. Although I am a businessman, I dare not do some business."

The merchant roared, but was quickly taken away by the warriors.

…………

One individual begins to be caught.

It seems that something is wrong.

In a courtyard, Chen Zheng paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.

His face has changed drastically.

Even... even the yellow book to prove his identity made him a different person.

He is now a small businessman belonging to Dengzhou Prefecture, Shandong.

Over the past year, he has been carrying out withdrawals in secret.

There is already a lot of silver accumulated now.

But this time... five million taels of silver is a big amount, and it will take a certain amount of time if you want to withdraw it slowly.

But... this money must be exchanged.

To be precise, Chen Zheng was from Quanzhou.

His beard and hair are slightly curly, yellowish, his skin is exceptionally fair, and his nose bridge is straight.

According to the genealogy, Chen Zheng is a descendant of the Semu people in the Yuan Dynasty.

There were a large number of Semu merchants in Quanzhou at that time. During the reign of Emperor Gao, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, because the Semu people had resisted the Ming army with the Yuan people, they slaughtered a group.

But even so, there are still many Semu people who have gradually assimilated. Many people are engaged in business, and their accents and customs are no different from the locals.

Most of these people are still in their duty.

He also regarded himself as a Han Chinese.

Chen Zheng felt a little strange. So far, everything has been terribly quiet, with no movement at all. The more this is the case, the more disturbed he is.
