Chapter 654 Private Coin Kiln

"How far?!" King Pengcheng wiped the sweat off his brow, and looked at the man leading the way in dissatisfaction.

The man was dressed very tightly, even in such a hot weather, he was still wearing a blue long shirt and trousers, with a hood on his head.

Under the scorching sun, if others stood beside him, they would inexplicably feel a chill.

Hearing King Pengcheng's question, he reined in his horse, looked around, and carefully observed the stream beside him, before saying: "It's coming soon, along this stream, you can see it after passing the forest."

The place is deserted, except for the large trees and weeds, there is not even a village.If it wasn't for the man in Tsing Yi to lead the way, others would probably get lost once they entered the forest.

King Pengcheng was inevitably a little uneasy, but looking back at the large group of elite soldiers he was leading, he became more courageous.He snorted coldly at the man in Tsing Yi: "If what you said is true, you will naturally be indispensable to a high official and generous salary. But if you dare to lie to this king, you will be cut into pieces by five horses!"

The eyes of the man in Tsing Yi were obviously covered by the shadow of the hood, but it still made people feel sharp and aggressive.He didn't explain too much, just said: "King Pengcheng will soon see my sincerity in surrender." After speaking, he walked forward immediately.

Pengcheng Wang Chong winked at the elite soldiers behind him, "Follow me."

As the man in Tsing Yi said, after carefully walking through the woods in front of him, the front suddenly opened up, revealing a large open space.

On the open space, someone has built a small workshop.Although it occupies a small area, it has all internal organs.Not only is there a tall kiln, but a waterwheel was built beside the stream.

The man in Tsing Yi signaled everyone to get off their horses to hide their whereabouts. After confirming that the people in the workshop hadn't spotted them, he walked up to King Pengcheng and said, "This is the place. The forging workshop needs a lot of water, so a waterwheel must be built to draw water. They are afraid The dense smoke from the firing attracted the attention of others, so they chose to hide in such dense forests."

King Pengcheng's eyes were shining, looking at the workshop in front of him, it was like looking at a gold mine!He waved to the elite soldiers behind him, and the team immediately assembled and quietly approached the workshop.

The man in Tsing Yi and King Pengcheng stayed where they were, only to hear the sound of shouting and killing coming from the workshop after a while, and calmed down again after a while.

When the leader of the elite soldiers returned and reported that it was ready, King Pengcheng walked into the workshop in three steps at a time.

The smell of blood mixed with the rusty smell of burning copper and iron made King Pengcheng show a very disgusted expression.He covered his mouth and nose, looked around, but turned a blind eye to the scattered corpses on the ground, and walked straight to a huge bamboo basket.

When King Pengcheng inserted his hand into the copper coins in the bamboo basket, a great sense of satisfaction swept through his body.

He picked up a copper coin and looked at it carefully, and then couldn't help admiring: "It's really confusing the real thing. If you hadn't told me, even I would have been hard to tell the difference."

The man in Tsing Yi said plainly: "These people have been casting counterfeit money for generations, and their craftsmanship is probably better than that of the government. If it wasn't for the imperial court's control over copper, these counterfeit coins would have flooded the market long ago."

At this time, another guard brought a set of mother money molds to King Pengcheng.King Pengcheng took it and flipped through it fondly.

"As long as there is this little thing, I can make as many copper coins as I want. This is not a mold, this is my money tree!"

"That's right!" King Pengcheng suddenly turned to face the man in Tsing Yi, "You said earlier, there are four or five other kilns like this one? Where are they all?"

The man in Tsing Yi was unmoved by King Pengcheng's increasingly frenzied eyes, "My lord once promised me that as long as I find out the counterfeit currency kiln here for my lord, I will allow me to work in the palace. You won't go back on your word, will you? "

"Of course not!" King Pengcheng held the key to Jinshan Yinhai at this time, no matter what the other party asked him, he would not object, let alone this person just wanted to be his own dog.

The man in Tsing Yi slowly took off his hood, showing his face like a jade, and said coldly: "Although I know that there are four or five other workshops near Jiankang, I don't know the exact location. If the prince can trust you , let this matter be handed over to the subordinates. The subordinates will not disappoint the prince."

King Pengcheng rolled his eyes, and smiled with his mouth crooked: "Of course this king can trust you. Otherwise, I wouldn't personally bring someone to accompany you to such a remote place. That's right, this team of elite soldiers are all accompanied by this king." , I will leave it to you, at your disposal, and find out the rest of the kiln openings for me as soon as possible! If this is done, I will definitely reward you heavily!"

The man in Tsing Yi cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, my lord, for your appreciation."

Seeing that King Pengcheng's eyes seemed to be glued to his mother's money mould, the man in Tsing Yi asked again: "How does the prince plan to deal with the kiln here? Do you want to report it to the officials?"

King Pengcheng handed over the mold in his hand to his entourage, and said with a sneer, "Ask the question knowingly. You are a smart man, and you know the truth that a good bird chooses a tree to live in. Otherwise, why would you bother to meet this king in private? But... ..."

King Pengcheng squinted his eyes and looked the man in Tsing Yi up and down again, "This king appreciates you very much. You are courageous and insightful. If others want to meet this king in private, they dare not choose the time for the Xie family's eldest son's banquet."

The man in Tsing Yi suddenly softened his expression, "The big hermit hides in the city. The more crowded the place, the less suspicious it will be."

"That's right!" King Pengcheng praised: "It seems that this king has added another talented person. Don't worry, if this king can ascend to the ninety-five supreme position in the future, he will never treat you badly."

King Pengcheng's words were obviously not only addressed to the men in Tsing Yi. A group of elite soldiers knelt down on one knee and lined up in unison: "This subordinate is willing to go through fire and water for the prince."

King Pengcheng nodded in satisfaction, "That's right! Everyone present today will be rewarded!"

With this workshop, King Pengcheng suddenly became wealthy.

Hearing King Pengcheng's loud laughter, the man in Tsing Yi suddenly fell into a trance for a moment.Although everything is going according to their plan right now, he still feels empty in his heart.

He didn't want to hide in the city as he said, that's why he asked King Pengcheng to meet Xie Huilian's eldest son at the banquet.

Instead, he wanted to see the girl from a distance, even if it was to see the girl from a distance, to make sure that she was all right, and that she was not slumped because of a series of difficulties.

But when he saw the girl's ability to face the crowd with ease, he was inevitably disappointed.He used to think that he was very important, that he would not be able to do without the girl.

But when he left... the girl was still standing like a pine and cypress in the cold wind, enduring in the wind and snow.

Even though he was lost, he still chose to give everything for the girl, even if he risked his dignity and life.Because this is the only thing he can do for the girl right now.
