Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 691 Big Shots, Little Shots (5)

When this person accidentally found a cockroach crawling on the ground, he didn't need to think too much, because there was already a nest of cockroaches in the invisible place.

"Crack~"

"Crack~"

In the main hall of Shuntian Prefecture Yamen, a crisp sound could be heard from time to time. Han Yilian was sitting on the official chair, tapping the table with the silver dollar in his hand.

"Great Jingzhao."

There was a middle-aged man standing in the hall, with a complicated expression on his ugly face. After glancing at Han Yilian, his eyes fixed on the table in front of Han Yilian.

On the table, piles of silver dollars were neatly arranged.

"How many have risen?"

Han Yilian's hand paused, and the silver dollar hung in the air.

"Return to Great Jingzhao."

The ugly middle-aged man hurriedly bowed to Han Yiliang and said, "In the past half month, there have been 71 cases involving Huahui Bank!"

“That’s a lot.”

Han Yiliang looked melancholy, glanced at the ugly middle-aged man, and sighed, "What do you think after reading the file that I gave you?"

The ugly middle-aged man's hands trembled slightly.

"Return...Return to Great Jingzhao."

The ugly middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, and said, "If the file given by the National Taxation Bureau under the Ministry of Revenue is true, this matter may not be as simple as we thought before."

"Yes."

Han Yiliang narrowed his eyes and said with emotion: "Youcheng, it's a good thing that you said that this government didn't rush to submit a memorial to His Majesty. Otherwise, the real culprit might really be at large! ”

"These guys are so thoughtful that they even took advantage of the Huahui Bank. All the counterfeit money circulating in the market has started to be used to pay taxes!!"

The ugly middle-aged man's Adam's apple moved up and down.

As early as half a month ago, the Shuntian government office received a lawsuit, directly pointing out that the Huahui Silver Bank had refused to admit to paying out counterfeit banknotes. The victim was a vegetable vendor who had cooperated with the convenience society in the capital. Now, his son was getting married, so he wanted to withdraw the money deposited in the Huahui Silver Bank in advance. It didn't matter whether it was profitable or not. As long as the marriage was finalized and his son could get married, wasn't this more important than anything else?
But who would have thought.

It is true that the money was taken, but more than 10% of it was fake. Coincidentally, the girl who was engaged to the vegetable vendor had a distant relative who worked as a servant in the Shaofu. She wanted to go to this family to discuss this matter and inquire about the recruitment of workers in the Military Preparations and Cleaning Personnel Department, hoping to ask him to help with some running errands.

It's not easy in Beijing.

At that time, the Shaofu planned to build various industrial workshops in the capital and other places in northern Zhili, and even started many large-scale projects to absorb refugee groups from all over the country.

This is a good thing and a beneficial policy, but in the eyes of ordinary people, because they don’t understand or are not familiar with it, no one who has any prospects would think of signing up.

This person always thinks about things that are unfamiliar to him over and over in his mind. As he thinks about them, even the best thing will become a bad thing.

Those refugees who once went hungry three times a day gradually, through their own hard work, not only earned money to support their families, but some of the clever and smart ones even bought houses in Xishan. Not to mention other places, this caused quite a stir in the capital alone.

For ordinary people, what they care about are food, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. If something big happens, they will follow the crowd and show concern, but when the limelight is over, how many people will keep watching it?
Right now in the capital, even for ordinary people, if someone says he works in the Shaofu, it will be different. Changes always happen quietly.

This is where things go wrong.

The officer on duty in the Shaofu happened to be from the Mint and Qingli Division. Although he didn't know any secrets, he still knew how to distinguish the real from the fake.

The new coins minted by the Mint and the Mint were not known to the people there. If this matter got out, wouldn't it be a joke? Finally, the matter was reported to the Shuntian government office!

This was the trick suggested by the officer. Instead of going to the Daxingjing County Government Office, he went straight to the Shuntian Prefecture Government Office. After all, the Huahui Silver Bank had a great background!

Han Yilian, the then governor of Shuntian Prefecture, learned about this.

In the next few days, the Shuntian government received more than ten complaints, all of which were related to the counterfeit currency of Huahui Silver Bank.

After figuring out the situation, Han Yilian immediately decided to send people to Huahui Bank to summon some people to investigate the case, but he was persuaded to stop.

The one who advised Han Yilian was the ugly middle-aged man in front of him. This man was sent to work in Shuntian Prefecture this year. Well, he also had another identity, which was that he was a second-class Jinshi in this year's palace examination!
The ugly middle-aged man said, "Great Jingzhao, the new currency of Huahui Silver Bank was specially granted by the Shaofu Yousi. The background behind Huahui Silver Bank is not small, but Great Jingzhao should not forget that the new currency was approved by His Majesty. How many people in Huahui Silver Bank have the guts to do such a capital crime under the feet of the emperor?"

"Yes, they can make a lot of money by minting counterfeit coins, but Huahui Bank doesn't need to do that. Just the cross-regional exchange alone can make them a lot of money every year. Why would they take such a risk?"

It was these words that persuaded Han Yilian, who could not tolerate any sand in his eyes, and this led to the secret investigation. However, this investigation was not a big deal, because on the one hand, there were endless complaints, and on the other hand, something went wrong at the National Tax Collection Bureau.

During a normal tax inspection, a batch of counterfeit banknotes were seized at the Chongwenmen Customs and Hexiwu Customs under the jurisdiction of the department. The counterfeit banknotes were not much different from the real ones, and an inexperienced person could be easily fooled.

"You Cheng, what kind of people are they?"

After a brief silence, Han Yiliang stared at the counterfeit money in his hand and said to the ugly middle-aged man in front of him: "What exactly are their intentions? They have woven such a big network behind the scenes, involving Huahui Bank, the National Taxation Bureau, and even the Shaofu in disguise."

"This government has been thinking about this matter for the past few days. If this matter is really exposed, it will cause panic among the people, and the chaos will not just be as simple as the capital."

"Great Jingzhao, this is probably what they think."

The ugly middle-aged man frowned and said, "It's better to be in chaos. The current Ming Dynasty is not the same as before, but some people hope that the Ming Dynasty will be in chaos. Only when there is chaos will they have a chance."

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound was heard in the main hall.

Han Yilian's face was gloomy, and a cold light flashed across his eyes. The anger in his heart could not be concealed no matter what. This was exactly what he couldn't stand the most.

"Great Jingzhao!!"

At this moment, an official came running in quickly. Before he entered the main hall, a voice came, "Chen Tirong is here!"

Ok?
Han Yilian and the ugly middle-aged man both showed surprised expressions when they heard this. Why did Chen Ce, who was the commander-in-chief of the Beijing Police and the Earl of Fushun at the time, come to the Shuntian Prefecture?
Although the position of the Capital Guard Commander was specially created by the emperor and it has not been long since its creation, the importance of this position has become increasingly prominent as the Capital Guard Commander's Office has gradually taken over the guard and garrison of the capital, and even clarified some powers with Shuntian Prefecture and other relevant officials to ensure the stability of the capital's territory.

There is even a saying among the people that Da Jingzhao is not as good as the imperial guards in the capital. There is nothing you can do about it, because they hold the military power! !

Not to mention anything else, all the gates inside and outside the capital were transferred to the Capital Guard Commander's Office. Once the curfew whistle was blown, apart from the emperor's gold and jade orders, only the capital guard commander's hand order could order the opening of a certain gate in the capital. Of course, if one wanted to issue such an order, it had to be a major matter and several core officers had to be present.

"Why did Chen Ce come to my Shuntian government office?"

Han Yilian thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.

"Great Jingzhao, if there is no important matter, the Earl of Fushun will not come." The ugly middle-aged man said at this time: "Great Jingzhao should go and see him first."

"Walk."

Han Yiliang lifted his robe and stood up, saying, "You are right. Let's meet first. To be honest, if we want to conduct a thorough investigation of this case, we really need the Capital City Police Commander's Office!"

After saying this, Han Yilian walked out of the hall.
