Chapter 36 Source
"Zhang Yang, go and stare at the money shop, chase your life and cold blood in the inn. Others act according to the previous plan. Once you find someone using fake copper coins, follow up immediately."
"clear."
Zhui Ming changed his outfit and turned into a friend from Zui Yue Tower. As the most experienced person, Zhui Ming is the one who knows the most about fake copper coins among the people.
"Everyone should remember that fake copper coins are very low in weight and are easy to break, and the workmanship is relatively rough, and the texture and weight are different from real ones. If you look carefully, you can actually tell it." Zhuiming demonstrated it to everyone, and easily broke a copper coins with his fingers.
"The reason why people cannot tell the truth is because the people who sell fake copper coins are also very smart. They mix fake copper coins and real coins together to spend them. Even if four of the ten coins are fake, the whole capital is a big number. And the people spend money back and forth every day, it is impossible for them to carefully identify them one by one. In addition, lack of skills does not necessarily mean that the copper coins can be broken, so it will become more and more common."
After some popular science, people have already gained a new understanding of how to distinguish fake copper coins, so they simply circulated fake copper coins, mainly copper coins, and have not made more refined Chu coins. Moreover, gold and silver are still hard currency, so there is no greater chaos.
Copper coins are placed today, just like one yuan or five cents coins, which are relatively basic currency units and have a relatively large circulation. This also facilitates the circulation of fake copper coins.
After the "training", everyone came to each other and found a place to monitor in the capital, preparing to work hard and grind it carefully.
However, after several consecutive days, everyone did not make much progress. According to the speculation of Zhui Sheng, these people selling fake copper coins were a tightly managed gang. The top and bottom levels were clearly distinguished, and the number of fake copper coins was strictly controlled. Maybe I had guessed that someone had discovered that the time and period of each time the fake copper coins were placed were not fixed, and the number of fake copper coins was not large.
By the fourth day, just as Zhang Yang was bored and continued to drink tea at the tea stall at the corner of the money house, the situation finally changed.
A person who looked like a idle man wandered around the door of the money house for a while. Whenever he met someone who came out of the money house, he would go up to ask if the other party needed to exchange copper coins, and the exchange rate was slightly higher than that of the money house.
If any modern person had a good thing about falling from the sky, he might have developed enough immunity, but people nowadays are still relatively simple. Although some people think something is strange, some people still greedy for this benefit and choose to exchange it with the other party.
All ten taels of silver were exchanged for copper coins. The whole ten hangers were worn in advance, and it was very convenient to count them. The one who took action was a middle-aged man who was not very shivering in clothes. Zhang Yang vaguely felt that the other party looked familiar. Then he remembered. When he was following the gambler a few days ago, when he threw the gambler out when he was following the gambler!
"The main show is coming." Zhang Yang was shocked. Seeing the person who had previously sold fake copper coins turned around and left, he immediately followed him.
Obviously, the guy from the gambling house knew that it was fake copper coins, but he still chose to exchange them. Naturally, he took a fancy to the difference between the money shop. You should know that as a semi-legal gambling house, the amount of coins circulating every day is extremely huge. After all, not all gamblers use gold and silver to block them, and they often use broken silver and copper coins to make bets. In this way, the gambling house can naturally gain greater benefits by using fake copper coins to transfer them to the gambler.
If you do not have the experience of distinguishing fake money, the gambler will naturally be caught. Even if you recognize it, the gambling house can turn against you and throw it out directly. On the other hand, when the gambling house receives fake copper coins, it either chooses to remain silent or deduct the fake money and throw it out.
Anyway, no matter what, the gambling house is definitely a place where you only make money but not lose money.
Following the man turned left and right in the capital, the other party passed several not-so-large inns and shops, and spent part of the fake money. Finally, he estimated that the number was not large, so he started to return.
Zhang Yang calculated that the fake copper coins that this guy took alone reached twenty cents!
The currency ratio at this moment is about 1 tael of gold = 11 taels of silver, 1 tael of silver = 1 guan, or a hang of money, that is, 1,000 citations.
He followed the other party to an ordinary inn near the city gate in the east city. The other party walked in, and Zhang Yang happened to see the big wolf tracking nearby and gestured to the other party.
"Brother Zhang Yang, the person I followed also entered this inn."
As the two met, Dayong and Zhuixian followed him all gathered here, as if this was a stronghold for the other party to meet and trade.
Lengxue found an excuse to go in and take a walk. After coming out again, he brought a useful news: the entire six people were all related to fake copper coins, one of them seemed to be the leader. However, this so-called leader left again soon. After many twists and turns, he actually walked around Nancheng and walked in the backyard of a ready-to-wear shop (a place where clothes were sold).
Zhang Yang winked at Zhuimeng, and then saw the other party jumping gently, like a feather without weight, flying lightly to the roof, and there was no sound from the rubble under his feet. He carefully observed the situation inside. This light skill was exposed, but it was once again widened with everyone. Cold-blooded light skill, but there was absolutely no such thing as chasing life. You must know that being a spy is not that easy.
Not long after, Zhui Ming flew down again, and said cautiously: "That man met another man in the world, nicknamed Huntianhou, and his natal gold was not a question. He had been jailed for casting fake copper coins before, but was later protected by An Shigeng. Now it can be determined that An Shigeng must have a great relationship with the circulation of fake copper coins!"
"But only we know it doesn't work. We don't have direct evidence and have no evidence. If we say it, we won't believe it." Cold-blooded interjected.
Zhui Ming nodded and said, "The problem is here, so if we want to catch Jin Buwen, we must have sufficient evidence and confidence, and it is best to arrest him on the spot."
While everyone was exchanging opinions, the man and Jin Buwen left in two directions. Seeing Jin Buwen's appearance, he seemed to be planning to leave the city, Zhang Yang and chase his life, and Lengxue immediately followed him quietly. After leaving the south city gate, Jin Buwen drilled into a wood in the south of the city and finally came to the branch of the moat. A rather huge dilapidated wooden boat was transformed into a place similar to a workshop, and quietly docked on this remote river where no one came.
The three of them looked at each other, knowing that the source of the fake copper coins had been found. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
