Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

"My lord, the officer has found a strange thing."

Fang Qingping said in a low voice.

At the same time, he looked around, as if he was afraid of being discovered.

"No one, tell me."

Fang Yuan was surprised, said in a deep voice.

It's so late, what can I find out?
"We found a large number of banknotes in a shop of Changsun, which were banknotes without anti-counterfeiting technology."

Fang Qingping said in a low voice.

This matter is very important, he dare not tell Fang Yuan in the household department.

So after learning about the situation, he went to Fang Yuan overnight to explain the situation.

"Is there anything else like this?"

"Take me to see!"

Fang Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then said in a deep voice.

Could it be that the counterfeit money has something to do with Changsun Wuji?

Did Princess Gaomi hide something from herself?

"Yes!"

Fang Qingping led the way immediately.

Fang Yuan took Xue Bowu and set off.

Soon, Fang Yuan and others came to a shop.

This is a shop on the side of the street, a shop selling antiques.

After lighting the torch, there is nothing surprising about seeing the scene here.

They are all normal antique shop layouts, and there is a high probability that the antiques are real and have everything you need.

However, Fang Qingping took Fang Yuan past the antique shop and walked into the backyard of the antique shop.

As soon as they entered the backyard, the situation changed. The doors of the rooms were all locked and tightly closed.

The door of one of the rooms was forcibly opened, and there were two people from the household department guarding here, as soon as they saw Fang Yuan approaching, they immediately came to salute.

"Look, my lord, they are all banknotes!"

Fang Qingping walked into the room and opened the box in the room.

The box is full of banknotes, all of which have no anti-counterfeiting technology.

According to a rough estimate, there are thirteen boxes in this room, probably millions of them.

The number of this room alone has exceeded the part printed by Huaxia Bank itself.

"Open the other rooms too!"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Terrible, there are so many counterfeit coins.

Where did the eldest grandson's family get so many counterfeit coins?
Are they also related to the counterfeit currency case?
Soon, other rooms were also opened.

Without exception, the boxes in the room are all counterfeit money, those without anti-counterfeiting technology.

Among them, Fang Yuan also found a printing machine in a room, which was the same as the ones reported by Princess Gaomi.

"Immediately have someone come and move these banknotes back to the household department!"

"Also, don't tell anyone about this for now."

"Otherwise, if something happens to you, I won't be able to save you!"

Fang Yuan said with an incomparably dignified expression.

Fang Qingping and the two household officials present had lustful looks on their faces.

But after hearing Fang Yuan's reminder, he immediately shivered, only then remembered that this was the shop of Changsun Wuji's family.

Although Changsun Wuji was suspended from all duties, he was not dismissed. Sooner or later, he will be reinstated as an official.

So it is necessary to be careful, so as not to be retaliated afterwards.

There was a lot of commotion about the moving, it was Fang Yuan who mobilized people from the Chang'an County Yamen to come and move it away.

Every box was sealed, and the Chang'an county government and the people who watched the theater secretly didn't know what was inside.

But from the antique shop, there is a high probability that it is some expensive antiques.

Fang Yuan didn't go to the palace to look for Li Shimin immediately, but went to Princess Gaomi.

When he just arrived at the gate, a car came out of Princess Gaomi's mansion, Fang Yuan immediately winked at Xue Bowu.

"stop!"

Xue Bowu shouted loudly and stood in front of the carriage.

The coachman driving the carriage was taken aback and quickly pulled the rope.

"Are you blind? Didn't you see that we are from the Princess Mansion?"

The coachman cursed.

"Shangshu Fangyuan is doing business, please get off the princess!"

Xue Bowu didn't even glance at him.

And after the groom heard that it was Fang Yuan's identity, he immediately faltered.

Although Princess Gaomi is a princess, she is the princess of the Supreme Emperor, and her status is very ordinary.

In the face of Shangshu, one of the six books, the status of a princess is not enough, so the coachman dare not go too far.

"Fang Yuan, why are you here?"

Princess Gaomi seemed to get off the carriage very kindly.

She looked at Fang Yuan with a smile, as if seeing an old friend.

"Where is the princess going so late?"

Fang Yuan said calmly, expressionless.

"Go to Princess Dongyang, what's the matter?"

Princess Gaomi approached Fang Yuan and said with a smile.

"As for your exchange of counterfeit currency for copper coins, I think you are making an exception."

"But now I find that there are still some things you haven't told me, what do you think?"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

In the case of Princess Gaomi exchanging banknotes without anti-counterfeiting technology for copper coins, Fang Yuan just recovered the copper coins, without further punishment.

"What are you talking about, I don't quite understand."

Princess Gaomi's eyes changed slightly, but she still looked like she didn't know anything.

"I found millions of counterfeit money and a printing press in a shop in Changsun's house."

"Are you sure you don't intend to explain clearly to me?"

Fang Yuan snorted coldly.

He didn't believe that Princess Gaomi didn't know about it.

Must know something more secret.

"Hundreds of millions?"

Princess Gaomi exclaimed.

This is a very large number.

If ordinary people are wrong, even if it's me, with so much money, I won't have to worry about it for the rest of my life.

"If you don't want to say it, then follow me."

Fang Yuan said indifferently.

"No, no, I say."

"Go inside and say, it's not suitable here."

Princess Gaomi took a step back, waved her hands quickly and said.

But she was not in a hurry to speak, but pointed to her mansion.

Fang Yuan had no objection, and followed Princess Gaomi into her mansion.

"Actually, I don't know much about Changsun's banknotes."

"But in fact, the organization I took you to arrest was said to belong to five surnames and Qiwang, but in fact it should have joined the Changsun family. I was introduced by the Changsun family to cooperate with them."

Princess Gaomi said solemnly.

"The relationship is so complicated?"

Fang Yuan frowned.

People with five surnames and Qiwang actually joined the eldest grandson's family?
After thinking about it, if the five surnames and Qiwang really leave Chang'an City, it is not impossible for someone to take refuge in the Changsun's family.

After all, the Changsun family is also a big family in Chang'an City, and it is destined to become stronger in the future, so it is very possible to join the Changsun family.

"There are elements of my guess in it, and I'm not sure if it's so complicated."

Princess Gaomi said in a deep voice.

"Why did you leave late at night just now?"

Fang Yuan nodded, then asked.

"Isn't this afraid of getting angry?"

Princess Gaomi suddenly said embarrassingly.

She already knew about Fang Yuan's finding of Changsun's banknotes.

Not only she knew, but the eldest grandson's family also knew that they had informed her to leave.

"It's too late to go now, follow me back and cooperate with the investigation."

Fang Yuan said coldly.

Want to go?Not so easy.

There are hundreds of millions of counterfeit money suddenly, this matter must be investigated carefully.

Otherwise, if the money flows out of the market, it may have a great impact on the market.

Even though Huaxia Bank has announced that this banknote is fake, there is still a lag.

Some old people or ordinary people accidentally received the money, which is also a problem for Huaxia Bank.

"Ah? No need?"

Princess Gaomi jumped up immediately.

Let her go back to investigate, isn't this putting her under house arrest?

"Protesting is invalid, and you don't want me to use force?"

Fang Yuan stood up, said calmly.

Princess Gaomi immediately followed Fang Yuan obediently like a discouraged ball.

It's not that she didn't think about resisting Fang Yuan, threatening Fang Yuan with her identity, etc., but she knew it was useless, so she didn't dare to do it.

the other side.

The eldest grandson's family also knew about Fang Yuan's removal of the banknotes.

They thought about stopping it, but Fang Yuan mobilized the Chang'an county government, so he could only stand by and watch.

"Chang Sun Chong, didn't you say that Fang Yuan promised not to interfere?"

Changsun Wuji cursed at Changsun Chong.

Losing such a large sum of money is a great loss to the eldest grandson's family.

But that's all the price, and the loss is acceptable, but the hidden dangers brought by this money are the most terrifying.

"Father, I don't know either, I clearly agreed with Fang Yuan."

Chang Sun Chong was also speechless and very upset.

Just after discussing with Fang Yuan on the front foot, Fang Yuan went to seize it on the back foot.

This seizure completely exposed the secrets of their eldest grandson's family, and the consequences may be serious.

"Let's enter the palace!"

"Before Fang Yuan reveals the matter to the emperor."

Changsun Wuji frowned tightly into the word Chuan.

In the end, I felt that I still had to go to the palace to find Li Shimin for this matter.

Only by confessing to Li Shimin may there be no dire consequences.

"Father, why don't you wait?"

"As long as those banknotes are destroyed, Fang Yuan will have no evidence against us."

Chang Sun Chong said in a deep voice.

The consequences of millions of notes are too serious.

If the emperor wants to punish their eldest grandson's family, then his eldest grandson Chong will also be affected.

At that time, don't talk about marrying Princess Changle, even if you can't keep your official position, you may not be able to keep it.

"Our relationship with the Chang'an County Government is not strong. It may not be easy for people to burn it down."

Changsun Wuji thought about it and sighed.

"We have nothing to do, but King Wei does!"

Chang Sun Chong said in a deep voice.

"Let him do it?"

Changsun Wuji's expression suddenly became serious.

"It's this time, Dad, you still want to protect him?"

The grandson said angrily.

Since Li Chengqian came to Rome, the eldest grandson's family gradually turned to Li Tai.

The counterfeit money of Changsun's family was actually done for Li Tai.

For Li Tai, Changsun Chong actually didn't want to support him, but he couldn't make the decision for the Changsun family.

So now when Li Tai needed to make a move, Chang Sun Chong never hesitated even if Li Tai would be exposed.

"Then you should inform him."

Changsun Wuji thought for a moment before agreeing.

Now that the matter has come to this point, it is really necessary for Li Tai to take action.

In the fight for the crown prince, one cannot help him behind his back, but he has to be capable.

If he can't even do this, then there is no need to fight for the crown prince.

"I'm going right now!"

Chang Sun Chong immediately left overnight.

Soon, Li Tai in the palace knew the whole story.

"It's a mistake, the eldest grandson's family can't be trusted."

"Also Fang Yuan is too damned, he actually found this place."

After Li Tai learned of the situation, he dragged his chubby body back and forth in the palace anxiously.

He is very fat now, weighing more than 200 kilograms, his body is almost as round as a ball, and it is very troublesome to walk.

After walking a few steps, he felt out of breath, and was forced to sit down and rest.

"Go, take what I mean to Chang'an County Prime Minister."

Li Tai finally made a decision, following Chang Sun Chong's wishes, and burned those banknotes.

As long as the evidence is destroyed, then Fang Yuan will have no evidence against the eldest grandson's family, and will not affect himself.

But before the meaning was spread, Li Tai received the news from his servants that Li Ke, king of Shu, was visiting.

"What is he doing?"

Li Tai was stunned for a moment, thinking of the banknotes in an instant.

Coming here so late, and the fact that the banknotes were discovered just now, must be related.

"Go, take my idea to Chang'an County Prime Minister immediately."

Li Tai urged.

Then he got up to meet Li Ke.

Not long after, the two brothers met.

"Third brother, what wind brought you here so late?"

Li Tai greeted Li Ke's arrival with a smile.

"Paper money blows in the wind."

"Fourth brother, it's amazing that there are so many banknotes hidden."

Li Ke laughed.

"Third brother, why can't I understand what you said?"

Li Tai's face changed slightly, then he smiled.

"Do you really don't understand, or do you pretend to understand?"

Li Ke laughed.

The two brothers walked into the hall slowly.

"I really don't understand."

Li Tai shook his head and said.

He felt that it was impossible for Li Ke to have evidence.

Fang Yuan has not yet entered the palace to report to the emperor, and the news has not leaked out.

Li Ke's biggest possibility is guesswork.

"Hehehe, why is fourth brother hiding so much money?"

Li Ke looked deeply at Li Ke, and said with a smile.

In fact, he really didn't know the whole story.

They just sent people to watch Changsun's house, just happened to find that Fang Yuan sealed up the antique shop of Changsun's house late at night.

It is definitely not as simple as an antique to be seized at such a late hour, and thinking of Princess Gaomi's frequent contact with Li Tai recently, Li Ke had a guess, so he came here to inquire.

Of course, Li Ke has already sent people to Fang Yuan to inquire about the situation, and also sent people to Chang'an county government office to inquire about the situation.

"Third brother, I said that I didn't hide any money."

Li Tai refused to admit it.

As long as there is no evidence, he will not admit it.

The two competed for the position of prince, and both wanted the other to fail, so how could there be problems with themselves?

"Okay, I was the one who was abrupt."

"I want to have a drink with you tonight, let someone prepare some?"

Li Ke said with a smile.

He didn't believe it, he thought there must be something wrong with Li Tai.

In order to prevent Li Tai from making arrangements, he decided to stay here tonight.

It's a pity that Li Ke didn't know that Li Tai had arranged for a backup and was on the way to send a letter.

"Of course it's fine."

Li Tai snorted coldly in his heart, but his superficial skills were in place.

He had no objection, and immediately asked the court ladies and eunuchs to prepare the banquet.

Naturally, Li Tai could more or less guess what Li Ke was thinking.

Soon, the back kitchen delivered delicious food and wine.

The two brothers chatted happily as if they had a good relationship.

But both of them hated each other in the bottom of their hearts because of the crown prince.

Born in the royal family, this is the sorrow of the princes, there is not much family affection to speak of.

On the other side, Fang Yuan brought Princess Gaomi to the familiar Chang'an county government office, and began to interrogate Princess Gaomi.

It's just that Princess Gaomi didn't cooperate very much, she was full of lies and couldn't ask questions.

At this moment, Zheng Jiu hurriedly rushed in to interrupt Fang Yuan's interrogation.

"My lord, something has happened!" (End of this chapter)
