Yipin Tang

Chapter 232 Uneasy
Zhang Dashou was already very vigilant, and being so frightened by Qianzhuang made him even more suspicious. Tie Dan was not good at tracking, so he was spotted right after he followed Zhang Dashou.

The guilty Zhang Dashou immediately wanted to run away, but was caught up by Tie Dan in three or two steps and slapped his face almost fainting.

When he woke up, he found that he was locked in a small, cold and dark room. It seemed that he was the only one surrounded by the silence. It was strange, and he could still feel the burning pain on his face.

The reason why Zhang Dashou is called Zhang Dashou is because he has a pair of big hands, but Tie Dan's hands are bigger than his hands, and they are stronger. When the slap came over, he was completely dumbfounded...

Looking around, Zhang Dashou finally realized that this is a prison cell, not as messy as he had imagined, it looks quite neat, but no matter how clean it is, it is still a prison cell, and indeed it was sent by Qianzhuang to follow him People get themselves dizzy.

Thinking of this, Zhang Dashou couldn't help crying: "I'm wronged! I'm wronged!"

"What's the noise! ​​What's the noise!"

Just howled twice, when I heard voices coming from the dark, the howls became more vigorous, and I grabbed the cell door, put my face against the cell door, and shouted loudly.

"Wrong! I'm really wrong!"

From his point of view, it would be easier for someone to handle it. When he woke up just now, he touched his bosom, and the bank notes were still there.

"Bang Bang Bang!"

A lazy figure walked out from the dark outside the cell, holding a wooden stick in his hand, knocked on the cell door in front of Zhang Dashou and said impatiently: "Stop yelling, whoever comes in is not calling yourself wronged."

The person who spoke was a young man dressed as a jailer. Perhaps because he had been in the cell for a long time, his face looked a little pale and he was relatively thin, but his hands were not weak, and the knock on the cell door resounded.

Afraid of being hit by the wooden stick in his hand, Zhang Dashou quickly retracted his body and took a small step back, looked at the jailer flatteringly, and said with a flattering smile: "This little brother, I am really wronged, I was done for everything, yes I was knocked out on the road, and somehow I came here when I woke up.”

The jailer gave him a cold look and didn't speak. Seeing this, Zhang Dashou quickly took out a few bank notes from his pocket.

"I have some banknotes here, brother..."

Seeing the sneer on the jailer's face, Zhang Dashou paused, and nine out of ten he was arrested because of the bank ticket.

Seeing that Zhang Dashou stopped talking suddenly, the jailer smiled and said, "Why didn't you talk? Are you planning to bribe me with a silver ticket?"

Zhang Dashou's face froze, and he quickly said: "I have cash, I still have hundreds, not thousands of taels of cash, as long as the little brother lets me go, I will definitely..."

"Hmph." The jailer interrupted with a sneer, "Do you know where this is?"

Zhang Dashou said in surprise: "Isn't this a prison cell?"

The jailer smiled strangely: "This is not an ordinary cell. Do you know why the cell here is so small and you are the only one?"

"No, I don't know." For some reason, after listening to the jailer's words, Zhang Dashou suddenly felt a chill down his back.

"Because there are very few prisoners who can be locked up here, and they don't last long."

"Why...why?" Zhang Dashou's teeth were chattering.

"Because all the people who are locked up here are those who committed the crime of treason. You say how many people in this world dare to conspire against the ambitious leopards? Don't say a few thousand taels of silver, even tens of thousands of taels of silver. Keep it for yourself and spend it slowly later."

Hearing what the jailer said, Zhang Dashou was completely dumbfounded, and there were only two words in his mind - treason.

It's just picking up some banknotes and going to the bank to exchange them for cash, so how could it become treason!This time he really felt wronged...

Perhaps because of yesterday's example, and Li Er's big fanfare to transport the cash from the palace, the bank exchanged more cash today.

The patriarch of the aristocratic family who heard the news sneered secretly.

After hearing the servant's report, the old man of the Cui family said to himself with flickering eyes: "It seems that Li Shimin is planning to fill this bottomless pit in order not to lose the hearts of the people. I want to see how much money you have to fill it in."

Cui Ming stood aside and said respectfully: "Today, the Chang'an Bank exchanged 50 taels of cash. I heard that the palace is planning to allocate cash to banks in various places. Li Shimin wants to use the bank to suppress our family. I can only swallow my anger, or my father has a way to come up with the printing of counterfeit banknotes, if I ask you, we don’t need to involve other companies, they just got our millions of taels of banknotes.”

The reason why the Cui family was able to print silver notes was because the Cui family had an old craftsman with superb craftsmanship who could carve anything to perfection. This kind of craftsmanship might be hard to find in the entire Tang Dynasty.Therefore, even if other aristocratic families want to print silver notes, they don’t have such skilled engravers. In Cui Ming’s view, this time, the other aristocratic families completely took advantage of their Cui family and got millions of taels of silver notes for nothing. .

Cui Hong, the old man of the Cui family, shook his head when he heard Cui Ming's words, and said, "They must be involved in this matter. How are those families reacting now?"

"How can there be any reaction? Of course, I quickly exchanged the banknotes in my hand for cash. After testing yesterday, the banknotes we printed were exactly the same as the banknotes issued by the bank. Master Wu's craftsmanship is really amazing. "

Cui Hong laughed and said: "Master Wu used to be a sculptor in the palace, and the birds and beasts he carved could look like real ones. Later, he offended Sheng Yan and was exiled to a remote place in the South of the Five Ridges. Our Cui family took him in. Then Master Wu has a proper arrangement?"

"Don't worry, father, I have placed Master Wu in Yangzhou, and the newly printed bank notes will be transported by water in a few days."

"Well, it seems that the bank has really helped Li Shimin earn a lot of money. I would like to see how long the money he earns can last."

In the Wang family mansion, Wang Tong, who was reading in the study, saw Wang Yuan come in and put down the book in his hand, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Chang'an Bank exchanged 50 taels of cash today."

"En." Wang Tong nodded indifferently, "Is there anything else?"

"The Cui family sent a letter, saying that the next batch of banknotes will be sent to Chang'an in a few days, and let us send someone to pick them up."

Wang Tong frowned upon hearing this.

Seeing Wang Tong frowning, Wang Yuan asked cautiously, "What's the matter, father?"

"Cui Hong is too anxious."

"Too urgent?" Wang Yuan was a little puzzled.

Wang Tong shook his head and didn't explain. Today, when he heard that Li Er was transporting cash to the bank with great fanfare, he felt a little uneasy.

Based on his understanding of Li Er, he wouldn't be surprised if he arrested people with great fanfare, but the current approach gave him a bad premonition.

"For the time being, don't have too much contact with the Cui family for the time being."

A hint of doubt flashed across Wang Yuan's face: "Then the bank note newly printed by the Cui family?"

"Isn't it going to be a few more days?" Wang Tong, who had always been calm and composed, suddenly felt an inexplicable irritability, and Wang Yuan quickly bowed his head and stopped talking.
