Chapter 69 Cases
After happily eating a hot pot meal, Zhuge Zhengwo brought Chu Wanxin and others into the lobby to discuss matters related to the counterfeit copper coin case.

It turned out that although Jia San had been arrested and the copper mold had been chased back, the number of fake copper coins on the market not only did not start to decrease, but intensified instead.

"What do you all think? Everyone present is one of our own, so we can speak freely."

After hearing Zhuge Zhengwo's words, Wuqing and the others began to fall into deep thought, but seeing this, Chu Wanxin also pretended to be thinking hard in order not to let others see the abnormality.

"Uncle Shi, could it be that before the copper mold was recovered, the counterfeiter had already hoarded a large amount of fake money, and now seeing that the copper mold was recovered, he wanted to empty out the fake money in his hand as soon as possible, To completely cut myself off from this matter."

In the end, Wuqing spoke first and expressed his guess.

"Not impossible!"

And Zhuge Zheng and I thought about it after hearing the ruthless speculation, and said something noncommittal.

"I don't think it's possible!"

But at this moment, Leng Xue on the side opened his mouth to deny the ruthless guess.

"Ok?"

When other people saw this, even if they cast doubtful eyes on it, after all, cold blood gave everyone the feeling of being taciturn, and now they suddenly denied the ruthless speculation, and of course others would be curious.

On the other hand, Chu Wanxin laughed secretly in his heart. It seemed that the time for this cold-blooded man to change from a war wolf to a dog licker was not far away.

The reason why he took the initiative to speak at this time, in Chu Wanxin's view, was that he wanted to attract ruthless eyes.

When she was youthful and restless in her previous life, Chu Wanxin also did this to the girls around her, and now seeing Leng Xue's ice face like this, the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up slightly.

But the others didn't notice Chu Wanxin's abnormality. At this moment, they were all looking at Leng Xue, ready to hear his thoughts.

"The copper mold has been placed in the capital mint before, and it is specially used to mint copper coins. Such copper molds have a total of 1 yuan, and they will be inspected by special personnel every month to prevent problems with the copper mold. This time the copper mold is lost. It was discovered during an inspection at the beginning of the month."

"Therefore, the lost copper mold was only lost for about a month at most before it was taken back. The copper coins that a copper mold can mint every day are limited. In one month, even if the person behind the scenes is working overtime in secret use, it is impossible to have too much inventory hoarding."

After hearing Leng Xue's words, everyone present also understood and nodded in agreement.

"Could it be that more than one copper mold was lost at that time, and the one that was recovered before was only one of them. After all, it's not uncommon for those officials to deceive others for their own black hats."

After hearing Leng Xue's words, Zhuiming took a sip of the wine in his hand, and immediately said with a little disdain.

He who had been hanging out in the Jianghu market before, knew the character of those officials and lords very clearly.

"will not!"

But what Zhui Ming didn't expect was that after he finished speaking, Zhuge Zhengwo directly denied his guess.

"After this happened, the emperor sent the prince to personally check the copper mold library in the Beijing Mint, and confirmed that only one copper mold was missing."

After hearing Zhuge Zhengwo's explanation, Zhui Ming shrugged indifferently, then continued drinking without saying a word.

After all, it is impossible for the crown prince to make fun of his own country. Since he has already confirmed that only one piece is lost, there is no other possibility.

"Would someone have taken out multiple copper molds, and then put them back in time without anyone noticing?"

At this time, Tieshou also expressed his guess.

"No, the importance of the Jingshi Mint is second only to the Imperial Palace in the entire capital. It has always had heavy soldiers. It is already very incredible that a piece can be secretly taken out. It is impossible for anyone to do it continuously. Steal the stencil without being seen."

"And if there is someone who can do this, what's the explanation for the recovered template?"

Hearing Tie Shou's guess, Zhuge Zhengwo also directly denied his words.

Seeing this, Tie Shou didn't continue to say anything, after all, when he said it just now, he also thought that this kind of speculation was indeed a bit unreliable.

"Wan Xin, what do you think?"

Seeing the people in front of them enter a state of contemplation again, Zhuge Zhengwo suddenly asked Chu Wanxin who had been silent at the side.

"Ok?"

Hearing Zhuge Zhengwo suddenly call his name, Chu Wanxin who was distracted was startled immediately, but on the surface he said calmly:
"Brother Leng just said that the number of fake copper coins on the market has exceeded the maximum value that a copper mold can cast in a month, and Shenhou also said that the prince has confirmed it, and indeed only one is missing. "

"So now there are only two possibilities. One is that during the period of time when the copper mold was lost, a piece of copper mold was imitated to be a real one. The other is the copper mold that was recovered from Jia San before. The model is a fake, and the real thing is still in the hands of the dark man at this time, continuously casting fake copper coins."

As someone who already knew the whole story of the case, Chu Wanxin could find a reasonable reason to perfect his conjecture as long as he thought about it a little.

"Now that template has been confirmed by the Mint, it is true. Is it true that someone can perfectly imitate a new template within a month."

After hearing Chu Wanxin's words, Tie Shou beside him said in amazement.

"will not!"

Unexpectedly, Zhuge Zhengwo, who was sitting in the chief seat, opened his mouth to deny Tie Shou's words again.

"Each piece of the copper mold in the mint is jointly completed by ten masters who are good at casting copper molds. There are their imprints on it, and only I and the royal family know it. It is impossible for anyone to imitate it within a month. A perfect copper mold, unless the ten masters are gathered again, or the emperor helps."

"Where are the ten casting masters now?"

After hearing Zhuge Zhengwo's explanation, Wuqing who was at the side immediately asked.

"Most of them died of illness a long time ago. Even the few who are still alive are all well-known figures in the world. It is impossible to do such a thing that shakes the foundation of Ming Dynasty."

"Tsk tsk!"

Chu Wanxin on the side heard Zhuge Zhengwo say that most of the ten masters had died of illness, and immediately shook his head in his heart.

Regardless of what other people think about this statement, Chu Wanxin doesn't believe it anyway.

In his opinion, these people were probably "died of illness". Now these people are either secretly working for Daming, or they are really dead, but the most likely is that they died at the hands of the emperor.

After all, the combination of these people can completely shake the foundation of the imperial court. Of course, it is impossible for the emperor to allow them to escape from his control.

Chu Wanxin reckoned that if it weren't for the fact that other people might have a background behind them, the ten people who minted the coins back then would have all "died of illness" long ago.
