There will naturally be no rain of money in the sky.

Money is iron tin money, and rain is artificial rain.

Fan Xiaodao threw a pile of fake money from the pool into the air and spilled it on the ground.

Although he suspected that there was fake money hidden in Qianyun Pool, he was plotted by Xie Zhihua, Fan Xiaodao, and Zhao Xing had to act cautiously, so he came up with a move to retreat as an advance and took the opportunity to fall into the pool. When Fan Xiaodao fell into the water of the pool, he was immediately stunned by the situation under the water.

Dozens of iron boxes sank at the bottom of the water, some of which were locked and some iron tin coins were spilled all over the floor. In addition, there were also several pig iron ingots three or four feet square at the bottom of the water, which were the iron materials used to cast fake coins.

As expected, the other party had no time to transport the stolen goods, so they took the opportunity to throw them into the Qianyun Pool. They wanted to use a move to cross the sky, but in the end they were Fan and Zhao and the others noticed clues, and the truth was revealed in the end.

Niu Gong was so scared that his face turned pale and he sat on the ground.

Young Master Feng was also confused and at a loss.

Xie Zhihua looked stunned and didn't realize what was going on. Of course, he pretended to be a decent, but the essence of being an official is that he is never vague when he should be smart, and he does not hesitate when he should be confused.

Fan Xiaodao jumped out of the water.

"Mr. Governor, I found dozens of iron boxes at the bottom of the pond, which were filled with fake money. There were also some pig iron materials, so please decide."

Xu Ting was already full of anger, and he was never vague when he saw this and asked, "Sir Xie, what's going on?"

Xie Zhihua said, "I didn't understand why these things appeared here? Niu Gong, please explain it?"

Niu Gong said tremblingly, "Sir..., this is as your instructions..."

Bang!

Xie Zhihua stepped forward and slapped her in the face, "If you can't speak, don't talk nonsense. Feng Shaojian, tell me?"

Seeing this, Feng Shaojian pointed at Niu Gong and said sharply, "It's all done by him! Sir, I report to Niu Gong, the head of Jiangnan Foundry Bureau, to cast fake money privately and make a living!"

Niu Gong's face was dark.

It’s really like sitting in the house with a closed door and the pot comes from the sky.

From beginning to end, Xie Zhihua gave instructions. Feng Shaojian was responsible for the whole city. As the top leader, he never asked about it on weekdays. He was thinking that he would eat, drink, play with women every day, and then he would have money to pay. The official of the Jiangnan Foundry Bureau chief is so easy to be. Unexpectedly, when something happened, he would become the scapegoat!

Xie Zhihua sternly said, "There is such a thing. Come and take Niu Gong down!" He said to Xu Ting again, "Governor General, such a bad thing happened under his rule. I thought it was a stolen person, but I didn't expect that these people were really stolen. I was not strict in my rule and neglected. Fortunately, the Governor General discovered it in time, but fortunately it did not cause a major disaster! I have to thank Lord General for this."

These words are said without any loss.

Contains four meanings.

First, Xie Zhihua was not aware of this matter. Second, even if it had become a fact, he only had management responsibilities. Third, although the matter had happened, the consequences were not serious. Fourth, whether this matter could be settled, I have to ask Governor Xu to offer a price, depending on how much money it would be needed to thank him.

How could Xu Ting not hear the implication?

However, he had already been full of anger. Just now, Xie Zhihua sneered at him, causing Xu Ting to lose all his face. Now he finally caught Xie Zhihua's handle. In addition, he had kidnapped his daughter before, and how could Xie Zhihua bargain with her new and old hatreds?

Xu Ting was unmoved and ordered: "Zhao Xing, Fan Xiaodao!"

"I obey the order!"

"You can seize the Jiangnan Foundry Bureau. Zhao Xing led people to dirty money at first, and after counting them one by one, they reported it to me. Fan Xiaodao immediately detained all the officials of the Mint Bureau, all the workers, and interrogated them on a surprise. Before tonight, ask me the whole story."

"yes!"

Xu Ting said again, "Li Mo!"

"The last one will be here!"

"Mobilize the Jinling Garrison Army, block the surrounding entrances and exits, and properly place private soldiers from the Mint Bureau. No one is allowed to be released privately until the court comes!"

"Receive the order!"

The orders were issued from Xu Ting, without giving Xie Zhihua any affection.

Of course, the two of them had already broken up and had no sympathy.

"Governor!"

Xu Ting said coldly, "Xie Zhihua, you are just a transshipment officer in Jiangnan, a fourth-rank official. Why don't you kneel when you see me?"

Xie Zhihua secretly cursed that this was avenging his personal grudge at the private banquet just now.

Not long ago, Xu Ting pleaded with Xie Zhihua, and Xie Zhihua forced Xu Ting to kneel down. In order to win a turning point, Xu Ting knelt down to Xie Zhihua. Unexpectedly, things turned around in less than an hour.

I am a fisherman.

He secretly hated him, but he had to kneel down and beg for mercy, "Governor General, please spare the officials."

Seeing this, Xu Ting felt relaxed and said lightly, "It's too late. If you guessed correctly, the news in the capital has already known the news."

Just yesterday, Xu Ting wrote a secret memorial, which was 800 miles in a hurry and sent to the capital. From here to Nanjing, it was nearly 2,000 miles. He used the military post with the highest secret level to constantly change riders and horses along the way, and could be delivered as soon as one day. At this moment, the secret memorial should have entered the capital.

However, if the secret report entered the capital, even if it was urgent, it would take some time to send it to the imperial court.

After all, the secret memorials received by the court every day are as numerous as ox-haired. No matter how big or urgent it is, it is not a big deal to go to the capital.

When Xie Zhihua heard this, he was completely in a state of dismay.

If it was seized on the spot, as long as it was not submitted, everything would have room for maneuver. But unexpectedly, Xu Ting was so decisive in his work that he would inform the capital in advance. Of course, there was no way out. Xu Ting's memorial was written to prevent the court from pursuing him to act without authorization in the future. There was no real evidence. It was just that public opinion was heard. As long as Xu Ting's subordinates showed mercy and reported another memorial, the matter would have room for action.

He said: "Mr. Governor, the lower officials serve the country and the people, are diligent and loyal, occasionally make people confused, and are obsessed with money. Only by being bewitched by the people below can you find your current situation. It is really your own fault. I hope that the higher officials can see that they have no credit and hard work. Please be more comfortable."

Xu Ting said coldly: "Tongrong, how to tungrong? Can it be considered tungrong to arrest Xu Miaozi and force me to submit?"

Xie Zhihua said, "That was also forced by the situation."

Xu Ting's commander Xie Zhihua stood behind Princess Taiping. Before the imperial court's order came down, he did not dare to act rashly, so he said, "Come on, Lord Xie is unwell. Please invite him back to Bishuilou first. Before the case is revealed, you will not leave the house without my order!"

This sentence is equivalent to putting Xie Zhihua under house arrest in disguise.

After all, although he is a second-rank official, Xie Zhihua is not under his jurisdiction and cannot be taken to the capital for trial immediately.

Several of Xie Zhihua's private soldiers wanted to take Xie Zhihua back, and Xu Ting sternly said, "Do you want to rebel?"

This frightening sound made the private soldiers let go of their weapons one after another.

Xie Zhihua was placed under house arrest in Bishui Building.

The seizure of the Jiangnan Mint Bureau is also underway in an orderly manner.

Regarding today's incident, Xu Ting sent another quick report to the capital.

According to general procedures, if such a thing happens, the court will send a censor to inspect the case, or appoint an imperial envoy to set up a special task force to investigate. However, even if it is fast, it will take ten days to come at the earliest. Before that, Xu Ting could do only the entire case, and he could collect all the ins and outs of the case, as well as evidence, physical evidence, and confessions.

Before dark, all the large boxes in Qianyun Pool had been salvaged.

A total of seventy-six boxes.

It is definitely too late to count. Zhao Xing sent someone to make a note of one iron tin coin, three cents, one hundred, three jin. A box filled with nearly five thousand jin of iron coins, which was converted into more than four hundred taels of silver. After conversion, a total of four thousand taels of silver!

And this is just the production of the character C field in the past ten days!

Fan Xiaodao's interrogation of the personnel was also carried out in an orderly manner.

The Mint staff, not counting private soldiers, were about 100 people. He divided the people brought by the Six Gate into ten groups and interrogated them separately. The evidence was as strong as a mountain. Except for a very few people, the rest of the people no longer covered them. What is shocking is that almost everyone in the Mint participated in this unprecedented fraud activity.

The low-level employees were just ordered to act and could not find out why. Some people even thought that these iron tin money were the new Tongbao that the court was about to issue. They were completely unaware of the fraud they participated in, and what they did was just work and get money.

As for why I insisted that I didn’t know when I asked before, there was a reason.

Feng Shaojian claimed that the court sent people to investigate the recent excessive salary. If the iron casting coins were revealed, the court would recover the job allowances issued from last year to the present. They came here for money. Under this intimidation, they naturally lied to Fan Xiaodao and others. However, they saw that the officers and soldiers sealed the Mint, and even Niu and Feng were arrested, and they realized that they had been deceived.

According to the instructions of several foreman, they would mint a batch of iron tin coins almost every ten days and a half months. To speculate, from last year to now, at least nearly millions of taels of fake money have flowed privately to the black market through the Jiangnan Mint, and then circulated into the lives of the people.

Such a large scale counterfeit currency has been rare since the founding of the Ming Dynasty!

Although the seal was sealed very promptly, the Mint account book was still not found until dawn the next day.

It seems to be missing!

Niu Gong and Feng Shaojian were detained in a cell alone.

Feng Shaojian insisted that the whole thing was instructed by Niu Gong. After he learned about it, he repeatedly dissuaded him and even took out a letter of dissuasion, but the other party was unmoved. Later, after Niu Gong gave him a large amount of money, he turned a blind eye.

The charge was confirmed, but he only admitted his guilt.

Niu Gong heard Feng Shaojian’s testimony and was furious in the interrogation room.
Chapter completed!
