Yipin Tang

Chapter 233
Before the second batch of bank notes were delivered, chaos broke out in Chang'an, and many people were arrested at once.

Not only in Chang'an, but there were reports of people being arrested everywhere. I heard that the people who were arrested were all people who had gone to the bank to exchange bank notes.

If the net is not collected for a day, Li Er's internal treasury will consume a large amount of cash, so Li Er decided to close the net the moment the person holding the fake bank note exchanged the cash and came into contact with the aristocratic family.

Although Wang Xiang felt that it might be better if he waited a little longer, after all, those chess pieces sent to the bank were only contacted by small people on the periphery of the family, but these people could not hurt the family, but Li Er couldn't wait, In just one day, the warehouse consumed 50 taels of cash. It is conceivable that the consumption will probably be even more in another day.

Zhang Dashou, who was terrified in the prison, found that there were suddenly more "rebellious" people, and many people were crammed into the small cell at once, all wailing and wronged as loudly as when he first came.

Zhang Dashou was very familiar with these people, they were all big money holders who went to the silver equipment to exchange cash for cash two days ago, Zhang Dashou's last thought of being lucky disappeared, and it really was because of the bank notes.

He is extremely regretful now. If he had known this before, he should have stopped when he exchanged thousands of taels of cash on the first day. Thousands of taels of cash are enough for him to live a life of wealth. If it wasn't for greed, how could he end up like this? .

Everyone is not stupid. If you were not sure why you were arrested at the beginning, but now you see each other and understand, there must be something wrong with the bank note.

"Cui Guanshi, didn't you say that there is nothing wrong with these bank notes?"

"That's right, shopkeeper Zheng, didn't you say that these bank notes are all bank notes used by your Zheng Family Commercial Bank for business?"

"This matter has nothing to do with us. The bank note was given to me by the Cui family."

"My banknotes were given to me by the Zheng family. I didn't know there was something wrong with these banknotes."

……

Steward Cui, shopkeeper Zheng and the others suddenly turned pale.

The guard of the cell was still the pale young man from last time. Looking at the noisy crowd, he sneered and said, "I don't know? You can get [-]% of the benefits by exchanging cash. How come I haven't met such a person?" What's a good thing? Has their money already reached this level?"

"I... I was fascinated by ghosts for a while, I... I have bank notes here, and I have cash..."

"Okay, don't talk about these useless things, I'm afraid you don't know where this is, promise, that..." The jailer pointed to the big hand in the crowd, and said: "That one came a day earlier than you , he knows more than you."

After hearing the jailer's words, everyone looked at Zhang Dashou one after another, and Zhang Dashou wanted to cry.

After a while, the wailing in the cell became louder.

Nima, how can exchanging cash become treason, this is a serious crime of family robbery, can you not cry bitterly.

Seeing that the fire was almost ready, the jailer said lightly: "You don't need me to say more, you can guess that there is something wrong with this batch of banknotes, that's right, the banknotes on you are all fake banknotes, and privately set up banks to privately print banknotes." Tickets are all crimes of treason!"

"We didn't print banknotes privately. These banknotes were given to us by others. We just helped them go to the bank to exchange for cash."

Seeing that the jailer seemed to be thinking about it, they immediately felt a glimmer of hope, and pushed Guanshi Cui, shopkeeper Zheng and others out one after another.

"It's them, they're the ones who gave us the bank notes."

Steward Cui, Shopkeeper Zheng and the others were suddenly frightened and angry. The jailer squinted at them and said calmly, "If this is the case, I will report the truth to the higher authorities. It seems that you are the ones who printed the bank notes privately."

Printing bank notes privately is treason, they dare not admit it, and quickly argued: "We didn't print the bank notes."

"Hmph, the banknotes came out of your hands, and most of the cash exchanged also came into your hands. Who are you?"

"Yes……"

Cui Guanshi and the others suddenly kept silent, with bitter expressions on their faces. Even if they said it, they would end up in the same end. If they didn't say anything, the family would take care of their family members for the sake of their sincerity, so they simply admitted Bar.

"Who is it?" the jailer asked.

"It's...it's us." Manager Cui confessed, and shopkeeper Zheng and others also confessed their guilt with ashen faces.

The jailer knew what they were thinking, and said with a sneer, "Since you are willing to plead guilty, you can sign and pledge."

Just when Steward Cui was about to sign and draw a deposit, the jailer said something lightly.

"Conspiracy is the crime of the nine clans. Your majesty is angry, who in the world can protect you, and... your family."

Butler Cui shook his hand, and the brush fell to the ground, his hands were trembling non-stop...

At this time, the aristocratic family was also in chaos. They never expected that Li Er had just sent a large amount of cash to the bank for everyone to exchange, and then arrested people wantonly, and the arrest was so precise that they were all sent out. None of the chess pieces fell, and even the steward sent by the family to join them was arrested.

At this time, how could they have guessed that there must be something wrong with the bank note, otherwise it would be impossible to catch it so accurately!

The gate of the Wang family mansion was closed, and Wang Yuan had just finished drinking a cup of ginseng tea and was about to take a rest, when he suddenly saw Wang Yuan running in with a panicked expression, his heart skipped a beat.

"Father, His Majesty is arresting people wantonly in Chang'an, and many people have been arrested!"

Wang Tong focused his eyes and said in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

"Something happened to the banknotes. Those who took the Cui family's banknotes to exchange for cash were arrested, and even some managers and shopkeepers of several other companies were arrested!" Speaking of this, Wang Yuan couldn't help secretly rejoicing. He listened to Wang Tong's words and gave up the cash exchanged from the bank, otherwise the Wang family must be more panicked like the others now.

But now, as long as the Wang family denies it, no one will be able to link the fake bank notes with the Wang family. Wang Yuan finally understands how important the old man's caution is.

After hearing Wang Yuan's words, Wang Tong closed his eyes and pondered.

"Father, what should I do now?"

"Don't panic, our Wang family has nothing to do with this matter."

Wang Yuan was taken aback when he heard the words, and then nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, our Wang family has nothing to do with this matter." Wang Tong's calm and composed appearance made him feel a lot more at ease.

In fact, Wang Tong was not at peace at all. As soon as he heard about the accident, he knew that the family had passed away this time. He had considered this possibility a long time ago. It won't be that simple.

He kept an eye out and didn't let the Wang family fall into it, but if the other families were involved, then the Wang family would definitely not be able to survive alone.

Those who were arrested were only the stewards and shopkeepers of a few side branches, but he was sure that Li Shimin would dig hard from these stewards and shopkeepers.

Thinking of this, Wang Tong took a deep breath, his eyes flashed brightly, he tricked Wang Yuan to whisper a few words in his ear, and Wang Yuan's face suddenly revealed a look of astonishment...
