The rampant comprehensive martial arts starts from Jinyiwei Qianhu

Chapter 12 12. The scheming frog keeps touching your stomach

Zhuge Zheng and I were sitting in the study drinking tea.

There was a stack of silver bills and a bunch of copper coins on the coffee table, his eyes were blank, a little absent-minded.

After Chen Jiu and Tie Shou entered the door relentlessly, they stood in front of the table, waiting for the boss to issue orders.

"Xiao Jiu, your previous guess is correct, those drinkers do have problems."

Chen Jiu has been obsessed with leveling these days, and almost forgot about the fake copper coins. When Zhuge Zhengwo mentioned this, he remembered how he entered the Shenhou Mansion.

But it's been so long, why bring this up?
"Master, should we arrest those people for interrogation?"

"It's too late, the Governor of Shuntian Prefecture has already found their bodies."

Zhuge Zheng shook his head and told him about the progress of the plot.

"These drinkers not only spread fake copper coins in Zuiyue Tower, but also went to the No. [-] winery in the world, and now there are not only fake copper coins in circulation on the market, but also fake silver notes. I also confirmed with Mr. Xu from the Qianjian After that, the copper mold was stolen more than ten days ago, and someone made a lot of counterfeit money and spread it to the market.”

Zhuge Zhengwo pushed the bank notes and copper coins in front of the three of them.

Huo, brave enough, just provoking a Shenhou Mansion is not enough, even dare to plant a flag in a place that Zhu ignores.

Chen Jiu admired An Shigeng's courage, reached out to pick up a bank note and glanced at it, and found that there seemed to be something wrong with the script.

Chase treasure?
Wait, isn't it the plot of the Four Famous Detectives?Why are there other plots messed up?

The counterfeiting case of Datong Banknotes comes from Lu Xiaofeng's series, and the masterminds behind it are Luo Ma, the silver-clothed headhunter who met Chen Jiu before, and the CEO of Datong Bank, Qian Datreasurer.

Chen Jiu couldn't figure out whether these two guys simply took advantage of the flood of counterfeit copper coins and took advantage of the troubled waters, or whether they had something to do with An Shigeng.

If it is the former, then Chen Jiu can still rely on foresight to become a chess player, but if it is the latter, it will be troublesome.

Chen Jiu took both the fake copper coins and banknotes and entered the hall of thinking.

The fake copper coins were the same as the ones he had seen in restaurants before, they were real enough, but they were also fake enough.Except for the weight, the manufacturing process and the details of the printing are consistent with the real coin, which is in line with An Shigeng's purpose of making counterfeit coins.

Folk consumption in Ming Dynasty was dominated by copper coins, supplemented by silver.

It is obvious that Mr. Xu, the supervisor of money, is An Shigeng's pawn, but he still produces and distributes such high-end fake copper coins in large quantities regardless of the cost. His purpose is self-evident, which is to cause social unrest.

As for the Chase Banknotes in Chen Jiu's hands, as one of the bank notes designated by the government, it is under the supervision of the Qianjian, but even the Qianjian is not clear about the manufacturing method.

The circulation rate of bank notes among ordinary people is not high, and basically only officials and merchants hold a large amount of them.

Datong Bank invited Zhu Ting, the owner of the world’s number one craftsman, to make the stamp. Every time the stamp is printed, the stamp will be destroyed. There is no such thing as a stolen stamp, and the imprint that belongs to Zhu Ting on this fake bank note is also Can't see the authenticity.

If it wasn't for the fact that several of the banknotes in this stack had repeated serial numbers, Chen Jiu would have been able to say that this was real money.

One is a high-quality imitation A product, and the other is almost the real product. The counterfeiting methods are very different, and Chen Jiu knows it well.

It seems that this is a coincidence. Luo Ma, the silver-clothed headhunter who controlled Yue Qing, found a flood of fake copper coins, fished in troubled waters and got a bunch of fake bank notes, and it should be a short-term plan.

After all, the fake copper coins involved the theft of copper molds, which was related to the national system and the people's livelihood. Now the attention of the major law enforcement agencies in Beijing is all focused on this case.

As long as Loma stops after the copper coin case is detected, he can get rid of the pot safely and stay out of it.

Great idea, what a clever little ghost.

After pondering for a while, Chen Jiu said to Zhuge Zhengme.

"These should be two cases, best dealt with separately."

"how do I say this?"

Zhuge Zheng and I stroked the twisted beard, quietly waiting for the next sentence.

Chen Jiu put the fake copper coins on the table and signaled everyone to watch.

"Although these counterfeit copper coins are the same as the real ones in terms of production technology, they are obviously much lighter. Most of the copper coins are circulated among ordinary people. Based on their daily contact with copper coins, careful observation can distinguish the authenticity from the fake."

Iron Hands disagrees with this view.

"That's true, but most people are not so careful. It's not too late to find out after taking the money home."

"Brother, let's put this question aside for now, let's talk about the Chase Treasure Banknote first."

Chen Jiu signaled him not to worry.

"These fake banknotes have Zhu Ting's imprint, and Datong Bank destroys the impression every time. Now there are a large number of counterfeit banknotes with repeated numbers. It's very simple, asking for money, but I suggest to ignore this, the point is fake copper coins."

Although Chen Jiu knew who was behind the counterfeiting of Chase Banknotes, there was no way to explain the cheating. Now there were not many clues, so he brought the topic back to the case of fake copper coins.

"Master, at the time I thought these drinkers were a bit strange, but now the master said that they had been to the No. [-] winery in the world, which just confirmed my thoughts. Someone wanted to distract you, Master, and the god of iron courage, Hou Zhu, who ignored you. Walk."

"Jia San entered the capital, and the six doors asked for support from various departments. Jia San happened to be a bounty thief. As long as someone paid for it, he dared to steal anything."

Tieshou and Wuqing looked at each other and spoke together.

"So Jia San stole the copper mold!"

Zhuge Zhengwo nodded and told the news he had received.

"Yes, there are many rumors in the market that Jia San has a good product in his hand, and he is looking for a buyer these days. It is very likely that it is Qian Jian's stolen copper mold."

It seems that An Shigeng really has two brushes, even Zhuge Zheng and I were fooled into it.

Chen Jiu feels that a BGM is needed at this moment to match his next performance.

The scheming frog keeps touching your belly.

Get out of the way, he's about to start pretending.

"Yes and no."

"Jia San stole the copper mold, but as I said before, someone wanted to attract everyone's attention, so the copper mold in his hand is probably fake, because there are too many problems in it."

Chen Jiu paused, looked at the ruthless and curious baby-like appearance, and chuckled lightly.

"First of all, as soon as Jia San entered Beijing, the major departments received the news. It happened that the copper mold was stolen after Jia San entered Beijing. Jia San also happened to be looking for the next house to sell the stolen goods. All kinds of evidence seemed to point to this lone thief. Aren't there too many coincidences?"

"Is not it?"

Iron Hand was puzzled.

"Brother Tie, listen to him."

Ruthless couldn't help but interrupt.

"Daughter-in-law is wise, cough, I mean senior sister is wise."

Chen Jiu was stared at mercilessly, and hurriedly talked about the case.

"The biggest loophole here is time. Think about it, Jia San is still selling stolen goods, so where did these fake copper coins come from? And even if Jia San finds someone to make a copy of the copper mold, he is going to make a second transaction , Then why did the first buyer cut corners, maybe you will think that the person who made the counterfeit currency was to save costs, but I believe that anyone with a little brain can tell the difference.”

Chen Jiu's analysis hits the nail on the head.

"Xiao Jiu is right. If the purpose of making counterfeit money is to make money, and with the official copper mold in hand, there is no need for counterfeiters to save costs and make the city full of storms. This will only make it difficult for them to sell counterfeit money in the future. "

Zhuge Zheng and I also stepped out of the dead end.

"From this point of view, profit is not the goal, and the people behind the scenes want to create chaos."

"Master is wise."

Chen Jiu praised him, then shook his eyebrows at Wuqing.

Brother, I am not a cow.

You can throw a wink at the blind man, but Wuqing ignores him.

Zhuge Zheng, I didn't realize that my little apprentice was still teasing my senior sister, so I stroked my beard and let out a long sigh.

"The storm is coming."
