Chapter 205 Fake banknotes

There are two reasons for Xiao Mo's doubts. The first is that Xiu Zhiming himself dislikes shopkeeper Zhou; the second is that Xiu Zhiming is the owner of Huitong Bank. Huitong Qianzhuang's face, or because of its relationship with itself, should not make peace with others, either it is to help shopkeeper Zhou, and continue to fight with himself, or...the shopkeeper Zhou should be severely punished in the name of Xiu!

But Xiu Zhiming chose to calm the matter, if there is nothing wrong with it, Xiao Mo would not believe it.

Another point, judging from the expression on Zhou Quan's face when he saw Xiu Zhiming just now, he obviously didn't know that Xiu Zhiming came to Jiangning. Some can't justify it!
"Hehe... As expected of Xiao Ziheng!" Xiu Zhiming laughed, and then whispered in Xiao Mo's ear: "To tell the truth, Brother Xiao, I'm really helpless..."

Xiao Mo didn't speak, and then continued to listen.

Xiu Zhiming continued: "On the third day of August, the chief treasurer of Huitong Bank came to Xishan, and then took out a few bank notes for my subordinates to see...here, here are the bank notes!"

After all, Xiu Zhiming opened a black box that he carried with him, and there were some bank notes in the box, Xiu Zhiming casually grabbed a handful out, then handed it to Xiao Mo, and then he continued to search in the box!
Xiao Mo took the bank note, and then carefully observed it. Xiu Zhiming didn't say anything, but Xiao Mo also guessed that there was something wrong with the bank note, so Xiao Mo took out two for comparison, and found that the two A bank note, no matter whether it is dark pattern, bright pattern, or the serial number signed with the place name, they are almost the same!

"This banknote..." Xiao Mo asked halfway, and Xiu Zhiming handed him a few more banknotes.

Xiao Mo counted, there are twenty cards in total, and all of them are 1 taels. The numbers are all in groups of two, and they are all exactly the same. For example, the one Xiao Mo is looking at now, the number on it is Jiang Ningtian The number is one hundred and one, and the one affixed to this bank note is also the number one hundred and one in Jiang Ning Tian!
"This..." Xiao Mo was surprised, 1 taels a piece!
Xiu Zhiming shook his head, and said to Xiao Mo: "All over the country, discoveries have been made one after another, but Jiang Ning's amount... is the largest!"

"So... the official Xiu came to Jiangning this time, obviously to attend the Famous Flower Fair, but in fact... for the fake bank notes of Jiangning?"

"I'm dissatisfied with Brother Xiao. This time, besides Jiangning, there are also Qiantang, that is, Hangzhou, Xijing Chang'an, Central Capital Luoyang, and Suzhou. They have also found fake bank notes this time!"

"Why didn't you report it to the officials?" Xiao Mo was puzzled. Why didn't Xiu's name be reported to the court when such a big incident happened, instead he wanted to hide it and investigate secretly?

"Report to the official? Of course!" After Xiu Zhiming said, he shook his head self-consciously, then looked at Xiao Mo and said, "Brother Xiao doesn't know yet! This Huitong Bank already has royal shares..."

"Royal..." Xiao Mo was relieved, no wonder Huitong Bank is so big, the relationship is backed by the emperor!It seems that Xiu Zhiming, the richest man in the world, has an unusually wide network, even the royal family is involved!
"Cough cough..." Xiu Zhiming suddenly whispered in Xiao Mo's ear with some embarrassment: "The current emperor's concubine Yun is my aunt..."

Damn...it turns out that this kid is actually the emperor's nephew, so it's no wonder that the Xiu family can grow to the size it is now!
But... No matter how large the scale is, it can't withstand the losses caused by the successive discovery of fake bank notes!

Xiao Mo looked at Xiu Zhiming and asked: "What will the emperor say when he finds out?"

"The emperor asked for a strict investigation, of course Long Yan was furious!" Xiu Zhiming sighed!
"Strict investigation, I'm afraid it can't be made public! After all, the fake bank note is a bit involved, especially for your reputation as a bank. If the fake bank note is spread, I'm afraid it will affect Huitong Bank. I have to go to your bank to get the silver back, no matter how rich Huitong Bank and Xiu Daguan are, they can’t withstand the run on deposits from all over the world, right? At that time, this Huitong Bank will be destroyed!” Xiao Mo said with a smile own opinion.

"That's right!" Xiu Zhiming nodded, then looked at Xiao Mo and said, "So Brother Xiao has to keep this matter a secret!"

"That's natural..." Xiao Mo nodded!

But Xiu Zhiming said: "But I don't believe it!"

"..." Xiao Mo looked at Xiu Zhiming in surprise, and it took him a long time to react, then he looked at Xiu Zhiming and said, "Mr. Xiu, what do you mean?"

"Hey... Brother Xiao, don't hide it from me. I know that besides being a Jinshi granted by the imperial court, Brother Xiao is also with the eldest princess... Haha! This time there was a fake bank note, and my aunt got the imperial edict. , I recommended someone to investigate the case..." Xiu Zhiming looked at Xiao Mo and laughed, and in his words, he seemed to have succeeded in his scheme.

"Could it be that I'm going down?" Xiao Mo wondered, could this be Yun Xue's meaning?No wonder my letter has been silent for so long after it arrived in the capital. Could it be that it was delayed because of the counterfeit banknote?So Xiao Mo looked at Xiu Zhiming helplessly, and said to him: "This is the way of a high official Xiu! No, I didn't say anything to the high official Xiu just now, and I didn't see anything. , I don't want to mess with this muddy water!"

"I'm afraid you can't help it!" Xiu Zhiming chuckled, then took out a handbook and handed it to Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo took a piece of yellow cloth that Xiu Zhiming handed to him. The quality of the cloth was very good, soft and silky. After thinking about it, Xiao Mo gave Xiu Zhiming back.

"Why don't you open it and have a look?" Of course Xiu Zhiming refused to answer it. If he did, wouldn't it give Xiao Mo a chance to play tricks?
Xiao Mo had no choice but to open the yellow cloth, only to see it said: "Xiao Mo, since you know about this matter, I will investigate it for you, if not, I will ask you!"

Such a domineering tone, such a harsh wording!
Xiao Mo looked at the yellow cloth in his hand, feeling a little helpless, why is this emperor so arrogant?
But on second thought, he is the emperor!Is there anyone better than him in this world?
Moreover, it is clearly written on the handbook, you know this matter, you have to help me investigate the case, the implication is that if you don't know, then forget it, it seems that the emperor should have given Xiu Zhiming a difficult problem .

It is estimated that the emperor also gave such an order to Xiu Zhiming that he could not explain it clearly, let Xiu Zhiming test himself!
At this time, Xiao Mo's intestines are full of regret, why do he have to talk so much?
