The most beloved princess in the prosperous world

Chapter 105 Counterfeit Money, Wen's Despair (Part [-])
In Qinbi Pavilion, the shopkeeper took out a set of jewelry to Ruan Fu, "Miss, this is a gift you made a few days ago for Princess Jin'an's wedding, what do you think?"

As he said that, the shopkeeper waved his hand and asked the man holding the tray to bring the tray in front of Ruan Fu.

In the tray is a set of women's full-body jewelry, all of which are missing. It is a gift specially prepared by Ruan Fu for Princess Jin'an's wedding. After a short look, Ruan Fu nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, thank you for your attention." Bo's."

The shopkeeper said with a smile, "Miss said this, it really hurts the little old man. It is also a great fortune for the little old man to be able to create such a complete set of jewelry in this life."

Ruan Fu smiled, and asked someone to put away the jewelry, and then sent it directly to Qianyunju in the Youxiang Mansion. Now, when everything about her is clear, the matter of using the account is not so hidden, Ruan Fu Song didn't know whether he didn't care or even if he knew, he didn't say anything about Ruan Fu, but Ruan Fu didn't care about it.

After talking a few more words about the business situation of Qinbi Pavilion with the shopkeeper, some lively voices suddenly came from the lobby outside Qinbi Pavilion, and Ruan Fu focused his attention, "What's going on outside?"

The shopkeeper's face darkened slightly, "What's going on?"

A young man hurried in from outside, "Shopkeeper, a customer came to the hall to buy something, but the payment was counterfeit money."

"Fake money?" Hearing this, the shopkeeper also frowned, and then said to Ruan Fu, "Miss, rest here first, I'll go out and have a look first."

Ruan Fu nodded first, then stood up again, "I'll go out with you to have a look."

The shopkeeper was still hesitating at first, fearing that things outside would disturb Ruan Fu, but finally nodded, and several people came out from the back hall of Qinbi Pavilion.

When I came to the lobby of Qinbi Pavilion, there were already many people around outside, and a middle-aged customer was showing the banknote in his hand to the waiter, "This is the money I just took from the Jiazhou Bank before I came to Yongjia. How could the bank notes that came out be counterfeit? You see, this bank name, this face value, and the bank name of Jiazhou Bank on it, how could it be counterfeit money."

The little guy couldn't explain clearly, "My guest, although everything is clearly written on the bank note, the bank's money is really fake. Our store does not accept this bank note, so you book We can't let you take this piece of jade away."

The guest still didn't seem to believe it, "Impossible, who didn't take out the big money in Jiazhou from the Jiazhou bank? This is the kind of banknote that is used in circulation. I use it in Jiazhou. No one has ever said that it is a counterfeit currency. Why did you say it was a counterfeit coin when you arrived at your store? Could it be that you are not going to sell this piece of jade to me? I said that you should be honest when doing business in Qinbi Pavilion. This is clearly what I decided , I’m going to take it to give away later, it can’t be a business like this.”

The man still argued with Zi'an.

The shopkeeper has already stepped forward, "So it's Mr. Huang, next is the shopkeeper of Qinbi Pavilion..."

"Shopkeeper, it's just in time for you to come." When the man saw the shopkeeper of Qinbi Pavilion, he stepped forward and said, "I passed by Yongjia two months ago and ordered a piece of jade in your palace. The shopkeeper will never forget it." .”

"Where is there, Mr. Huang's noble face, I will always remember it."

Seeing this, Mr. Huang felt a little satisfied, and the shopkeeper waved the boy who was dealing with this matter to leave, "What's the matter, Mr. Huang?"

Master Huang took out the coin in his hand and put it in front of the shopkeeper, "This coin, the guy in your store said is fake."

The shopkeeper took it over, looked repeatedly at the light projected from the door, and apologeticly appeared on his face, "Boss Huang, did someone drop his wallet on the way?"

The meaning of these words was obvious, Boss Huang said in astonishment, "How is it possible, this wallet has never left your body, you..."

He suddenly realized, "We have used this coin for a long time, how could it be fake?"

The shopkeeper said apologetically, "If Mr. Huang doesn't believe it, he can let everyone see it."

That Mr. Huang is not an unreasonable person. In addition, the previous business has already been in contact with the shopkeeper. People are more curious about the matter of Qinbi Pavilion. At this time, it is probably clear that the reason is cooperation.

However, everyone was shocked after watching it, "This..."

"It is indeed a counterfeit currency."

"Yeah, it looks like it's real. If it wasn't for my father's business, I often help him, but I wouldn't be able to tell that this coin is fake."

But some people didn't see it right away, "How did you see it?"

"See, the seal on it is a fake seal."

Master Huang snatched back the banknotes in disbelief, looked at them over and over again, then took out a few banknotes that were still in his purse, read them again and again, and compared them with the two banknotes that were identified as counterfeit. For a long time, until the expression on his face was like a mourning concubine.

Ruan Fu stood not far away watching this scene, frowning a little, but he didn't go forward to find out.

In the end, what Master Huang took out were all counterfeit coins. There were ten 1000 taels of silver bills, which was a large number.

And Chen Kingdom has laws and regulations, and those who manufacture and use counterfeit money will be sentenced.

This time, he was first struck by the fact that the money on his body was counterfeit, and thinking of this level, Mr. Huang's legs trembled, and he was directly helped by the attendant beside him to sit on a chair beside him.

The people who had been watching shook their heads and dispersed, but their eyes showed more pity for this person.

"How could this be..." Master Huang was still in disbelief.

The shopkeeper also shook his head, "Based on my friendship with Mr. Huang, if Mr. Huang needs this jade urgently, he can take it first, and then he will make up the money later."

Mr. Huang seemed to be unable to hear the words, and he muttered to himself, "This is a bank note from Jiazhou Bank. More than half of the people in Jiazhou would exchange it for silver. Everyone uses it like this. How could it be counterfeit money?"

He was still holding the brand new stack of banknotes, and then suddenly remembered something, "It's over... It's over, this is Yongjia, I'm going to jail..."

Then Ruan Fu came up, "I wonder if you can show me the coins in your hand?"

Mr. Huang glanced at Ruan Fu warily, but seeing that Ruan Fu's face was not malicious, the shopkeeper had no choice but to explain, "This is Miss Ruan, the co-prefect of the Imperial Study who just took office."

Even though this person has just come to Yongjia, no one who enters Yongjia City will hear about the female official in the imperial study. This time, Master Huang became even more frightened and almost knelt on the ground, " My lord, the small one was not intentional, I didn't make this coin, I don't know it at all, I..."

Ruan Fu frowned weakly, "Get up first, I know you didn't mean it."

Hearing this, the man withdrew the tears that were about to fall, "Your Excellency, believe me?"

Ruan Fu hummed nonchalantly, took the coin in his hand and looked at it, then frowned, "Give me one piece of this coin first, and take the rest to the household department to report to the police. The people who are responsible will naturally find out for you, and if you are the victim, they will naturally give you some compensation."

Master Huang was still a little wary, "But..."

Ruan Fu didn't intend to talk too much with him, it's easy to see this man's temperament, "Unless you want to be caught in prison."

Hearing this, the man trembled, and hurriedly said, "I'll go, I'll go."

Then he picked up those counterfeit coins and was about to leave in a hurry. As for the jade, "keep the treasurer's jade with me first, and I'll come back to pick it up soon."

The shopkeeper hadn't responded yet, but the man had already rushed towards the household department with his attendants.

Only Ruan Fu stayed behind, still holding the 1000 tael silver note in his hand, frowning endlessly.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper whispered, "Miss?"

Ruan Fu shook his head, "I always have a bad feeling, Uncle Zhang, these days, pay more attention to the banknotes that come in from outside Yongjia."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper also nodded, Ruan Fu didn't say anything else, and was about to leave, but before he lifted his footsteps, a person came in from the outside, it was Xuan Wang Yu Wulin and the eleventh prince Yu Wuqi.

King Xuan was not too surprised when he saw Ruan Fu, he raised his eyebrows, "What a coincidence, I actually met Ruan Tongzhi here."

Ruan Fu nodded, "His Royal Highness, the Eleventh Prince."

Yu Wulin turned his gaze around Qinbi Pavilion, "I didn't expect Miss Ruan to like the utensils in Qinbi Pavilion, and it just so happens that this king also likes them."

Ruan Fu didn't respond to Yu Wulin's behavior of looking for something to say, "Don't disturb the prince's interest, Ruan Fu bid farewell."

"Miss Ruan stay for a while." Yu Wulin said, "It is said that after Miss Ruan entered the court, because of the busy schedule, I have never consulted with Miss Ruan, but I was rude."

Ruan Fu raised his eyelids, "Is His Royal Highness Xuan Wang joking?"

"How could it be?" Yu Wulin said, "I knew Miss Ruan was very talented, but I am envious of the brothers who have benefited from fighting with Miss Ruan on the battlefield. , and please forgive me, Miss Ruan."

"Heh." Ruan Fu laughed, but he was a little confused, "I dare not take it, Ruan Fu still has something to do, His Royal Highness Xuan Wang please."

After all, she nodded and left.

Yu Wulin would not really step forward to stop him, but only looked at Ruan Fu's leaving back, with a thoughtless smile on his lips.

Yu Wuqi walked up to him and asked in a low voice, "Fifth Brother? How could you?"

"How can you be so polite to her?" Yu Wulin laughed, but did not answer Yu Wuqi's question, but said, "Speaking of which, this king has always forgotten one thing, Miss Ruan did something for Chen Kingdom. This is a lot, although the royal father's rewards are quite a lot, but this king always wants to show that it's not too late now."

The shopkeeper was listening, but he could only pretend to be respectful and didn't hear anything.

Yu Wulin didn't really want to buy things in Qinbi Pavilion, after watching Ruan Fu leave, he just glanced at Qinbi Pavilion again, and went out with Yu Wuqi again.

Yu Wuqi still couldn't figure out Yu Wulin's mind, he hesitated for a while and then said, "Fifth brother, do you really want to recruit Ruan Fu?"

After all, didn't they say that they gave up before? They already knew the outcome of the matter when Yu Wuyan hit a wall earlier. What's more, now that Ruan Fu is in the limelight, who can attract as much as His Majesty today? trust?
Yu Wulin shook his head, "Ruan Fu is almost impossible to recruit now, and you all know that we have no ability to recruit, but..."

Yu Wulin paused, then turned to look at Yu Wuqi meaningfully, "Eleventh, when she returned to Yongjia, if she was just a Meng Changqing who was wooed by all parties, this person would definitely not be able to stay, but now , at least on the surface she is the father's person."

Yu Wuqi pursed his lips and thought for a while, then nodded silently, "Fifth brother, I understand."

Yu Wulin didn't say any more, just took the people away.

On the other side of the street, Ruan Fu squinted his eyes at the direction Yu Wulin was leaving. Naturally, she would not believe that such a coincidence happened by chance. Tsing Yi's face darkened slightly, "Miss."

Ruan Fu waved his hands, and there was a coolness on his lips, "It's okay."

-

When Ruan Fu returned to the mansion, he hadn't entered Qianyunju, but a person rushed out beside him, "Ruan Fu!"

Wen's expression was a bit haggard and he came towards Ruan Phuc, almost grabbing Ruan Phuc's arm, but Tsing Yi moved quickly, holding the scabbard directly to block Wen's who wanted to rush up.

Although Ruan Yan had been recuperating for a while, she seemed to have returned to normal, but Wen's family seemed even more haggard. As the day of Ruan Yan's marriage approached, she became more and more anxious, but Ruan Song never spoke again. Briefing about the exchange of blood between Ruan Fu and Ruan Yan, he was mercilessly reprimanded even when he opened his mouth several times.

Wen was in a hurry. In her opinion, Ruan Song had changed his mind because of the change of Ruan Fu's status.

And under anxiety, there must be reckless behavior.

Today, Wen's couldn't wait any longer.

The corner of Ruan Fu's lips curled up into a sneer, and he finally couldn't help it. "Madam, what's the matter?"

"Fu'er, save Yan'er, Yan'er is your younger sister, please save her."

"I don't know how Madam wants me to save Second Sister?"

"Fu'er, you, you are a kind child, you are Meng Changqing, you will definitely not die, will you?"

"What does Madam want from me?" Ruan Fu continued to ask, she had never shown that she was a kind person, Wen Shi, she really became more and more naive the more she lived.

"Yan'er's health is not good, but she is going to get married, your blood is the most yin and pure blood, you only need three bowls... as long as you give Yan'er three bowls of blood..." Wen said anxiously.

"Three bowls of blood?" Ruan Fu laughed, "Is it just three bowls of blood?"

Wen thought that Ruan Fu was about to agree, and kept nodding, "Yes, as long as three bowls of blood, Fuer, it's only three bowls, you can recover after a few more days of recuperation, and then I will invite you to buy the best from Yongjia." Doctor, I will ask the imperial doctor in the palace to treat you, you save Yan'er, she is your second sister, your father's daughter."

In Ruan Fu's eyes, the Wen family is now only pitiful and pitiful. She has never believed that Ruan Song married Wen's family until now, and there is so much love in it, but now...

She took a step back, "Ma'am, I'm sure it's just three bowls of blood, instead of exchanging half of my blood with Ruan Yan, and giving her a healthy and worry-free body, while I... die slowly?"

Wen Shi was shocked and took two steps back, "You..."

"How would I know?" Ruan Fu smiled harmlessly, but every sentence she said hit Wen's like a knife, "I don't know what kind of posture Madam is using to propose this condition to me now, or Madam has forgotten how you treated my mother back then, forcing her to die of depression, or Madam has forgotten that Ruan Fu left the house at a young age thanks to you? Now, Madam has made such a request to me , isn't it, too naive."

"Ruan Fu, you, you can't ignore death."

"Ma'am, you have to be careful what you say, Second Young Miss is still fine." Tsing Yi, standing aside, couldn't help reminding.

Wen suddenly said sharply, "Shut up!"

Ruan Fu just looked at her coldly, with nothing in his eyes, Wen suddenly realized something, "You knew it a long time ago, didn't you?"

Ruan Fu didn't deny it either, "Ma'am is really a good plan, she wants to exchange my second sister's life with me, but Ruan Fu's life is not something you can take easily."

"Hahahaha..." Wen suddenly laughed bitterly, "Ruan Fu, Ruan Fu... Sure enough, I was wrong, I underestimated you!"

Ruan Fu didn't make a sound, looked at the person behind Wen with a gloomy face, and called out, "Father."

Wen's turned her head abruptly, and said in a panic, "Master Xiang..."

Ruan Song's face was gloomy, "I told you, don't mention this matter to Fu'er."

Wen was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, "Don't mention it, do you think you won't know if you don't mention it, Mr. Xiang, your good daughter already knew the reason why his father asked her to come back is to exchange for another Daughter's life, Mr. Xiang only thinks of cultivating a relationship with his daughter now, isn't it too late?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Ruan Song said angrily, "Come here, take Madam back!"

"Ruan Song, Ruan Yan is having a hard time, you can't think about it either, you father and daughter can't even think about it!" Wen said angrily.

Ruan Song said in a deep voice, "What are you still looking at, madam is thinking too much, she is delirious, hurry up and take her back to the yard!"

"Yes Yes Yes……"

After hearing Ruan Song's words, Wen's laughter became even more piercing.

Unconsciousness?Even Ruan Fu, at this moment, only felt that Ruan Song was ruthless.

After calming down in the yard, Ruan Song said to Ruan Fu, "You don't have to listen to her nonsense, being a father never meant that."

Ruan Fu didn't mind, "Father doesn't have to say such things to me, you and I both know it well."

Ruan Song had forbearance on his face, seeing how she was completely in control of everything, she wanted to get angry at first, but when she saw the cool smile on Ruan Fu's lips, she finally lowered her eyes, "You don't have to think too much, And a few days ago, about the assassin, my father will solve it as soon as possible."

After finishing speaking, Ruan Song's face darkened, and without giving Ruan Fu a chance to speak, he flung his sleeves and left in a hurry.

A sneer appeared on Ruan Fu's lips, Tsing Yi said with some uncertainty, "Miss, Xiangye..."

"It's just that my current value may be higher than taking Ruan Yan away." Ruan Fu said lightly, "Don't worry about it, just do whatever you want."

"Yes." Tsing Yi nodded and said, "Also, earlier, when Madam appeared, Miss San hid in another place to watch."

Ruan Fu paused and didn't say anything.

After returning to Qianyunju, she directly handed over the counterfeit coin in her hand to Xiao Feng, "Take this and go out to check."

Xiao Feng took it and looked at it for a while, "Fake money."

Ruan Fu nodded, "Your footsteps are faster, and you must be more familiar with the circulation of counterfeit money because you have traveled the rivers and lakes before."

Xiao Feng said nothing, just nodded silently and left.

"Miss suspects that this is not an accident?" Tsing Yi said.

Ruan Fu shook his head and said with a smile, "There is nothing to doubt at the moment, but since I have seen it, if I don't figure it out, I don't feel at ease."

Tsing Yi said no more.

However, before Xiao Feng found out any news, a few days later, a piece of paper made Emperor Yuanchang, who had ascended the throne early, get angry directly in the golden palace.
