Chapter 415: Lie
So, they first hid Chen Liuliu in a corner at the end of the alley, and only after Chen Linglong came back into the house did they let someone chop the willow.
After chopping, Xia Wan'er came back from outside the house, and deliberately told Chen Linglong that she forgot to close the door, and asked her to close it.
Therefore, Chen Linglong did not lie, and the old lady was worried about Liu Liu, so she only looked at Chen Linglong. She thought that if their mother and daughter did this, Chen Linglong must be the mastermind.
After hearing that Chen Linglong's answer was flawless, and that their mother and daughter could not hurt Liu Liu, they were excluded.
Because of this exclusion, Murong Jie and Hu Huanxi made a wrong decision.
Ni Rong continued to take people out to investigate, and asked the watchman that night, and said that he saw King Nanhuai's car entering Beijing, and it happened to pass through Dongjie just before and after Liu Liu's accident.
Murong Jie also verified with the city gate that it was true that King Nanhuai returned to Beijing at that time, without fanfare, but brought a few people back to Beijing in a low-key manner.
Because it was suspected from the beginning that the concubine Gui did it, and the time when King Nanhuai returned to Beijing coincided with the time when Liu Liu was injured, both Murong Jie and the Chen family thought it was King Nanhuai who did it.
But because there is no evidence, there is no way to win it openly.
However, Hu Huanxi told Murong Jie that King Nanhuai had exchanged bank notes with Lord Liang Hou, and those bank notes had not yet been exchanged at the bank.
Murong Jie instructed Hu Huanxi to tell the bank that if someone brought a banknote, they would say that the banknote was fake and could not be exchanged.
It was a coincidence that Hu Huanxi had just gone back and told the shopkeeper that he had made the counterfeit banknotes, and someone came to exchange them with Lord Liang's banknotes.
Hu Huanxi personally received them. She took a look at the bank note, and it was one thousand taels with the largest denomination of the silver number.
The people who came to exchange came carrying the boxes. There were six people in total. Although they were dressed in homespun clothes, they all had fierce faces, and they seemed to be people who licked blood with knives.
Hu Huanxi had already prepared a fake redemption ticket, because the counter was a bit higher, so after taking the banknote and going in, after careful verification, he raised his head and said, "Where did you get this banknote from?"
The leader was about thirty years old, with a dark complexion, rough skin, and a faint scar from the corner of his mouth to his ear. Hu Huanxi was standing on the high platform, and he could see that his fingers were a bit dark. He heard Hu Huanxi ask, Quickly said: "It's given to you as a business guest."
Hu Huanxi wiped some ink on Zhuo's ground, verified the bank note again, and then withdrew the bank note, "Your bank note is fake, have you been deceived?"
The man was taken aback, "What? Fake?"
Hu Huanxi said to the shopkeeper of the bank: "Go out and explain to the customer why it is fake."
The shopkeeper nodded, "Yes!"
The shopkeeper went out, first asked the other party to sit down, and then closed the door.
The shopkeeper said: "Your Excellency, look at the bank note you gave me. It is made of Chu paper and stamped with our Dingfeng Bank." He took out a bank note of Dingfeng Bank for comparison, "but if you look carefully, There is a difference. The engravings of our Dingfeng tickets are very clear, and the diagonal positions are all curved, but you can see that the ones you took are all right angles without curvature, and look at the rubbings of the silver tickets below. The one you took is particularly dim, and the seal is misplaced, and it’s dark here... Oh, it’s because your hands are dirty here, this doesn’t count, but from the above points, it can be proved to be fake. If you If you don’t believe me, you can ask the government to come and check it, the carved paper and even the seal of our Dingfeng are all marked by the government.”
The man picked it up and checked it carefully, and found that there was a discrepancy, and there were black fuzzy marks on the stack of bank notes, which were stained by his dirty hands.
Hu Huanxi said at the counter: "Your Excellency, are you a foreigner? People in the capital are so cunning, have you been cheated by your guests, or report the case to the government office as soon as possible. If we need to testify, we can also go to the government office." testified for you."
The man stood up, his face livid, and he cupped his hands, "I'm sorry to bother you."
After finishing speaking, he picked up the fake bank note, waved his hand, and led the people away carrying the empty box.
The banknotes that are popular among the people have local authority, so this person did not dare to make trouble, nor did he have any doubts. It is impossible for other banknotes to prepare fake bank notes in advance and wait here.
Hu Huanxi told Murong Jie about this, and Murong Jie said, "Thanks for your hard work."
"It's not hard work, it's a waste of money." Hu Huan laughed happily.
"It's Lord Liang Hou, maybe King Nanhuai will trouble him, you should let him know." Murong Jie said.
"I've already informed you, Master Hou is not afraid, because when I gave the bank note, it was inspected, and there is no doubt that it is genuine."
"Hou Ye over there..." Murong Jie wanted to ask him if his tone was tight enough, but thinking about this matter, he was not afraid of being tracked down, King Nanhuai never dared to really make a big fuss.
"My lord, don't worry, Lord Hou is just a businessman now." Hu Huanxi trusted Liang Houye very much. In the business field, there are not many people who can have such a heart-to-heart relationship.
Let's say that this weapon dealer broke into the palace directly and found King Nanhuai.
King Nanhuai just arrived last night, and went into the palace to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager. The arms dealer couldn't find King Nanhuai, so he sat in the living room and waited.
The Concubine Gui was afraid that Murong Jie would find out the truth when he came back, so she asked someone to lead the weapon dealer to her Qingning Pavilion.
"Who allowed you to come to the door? If you have anything to do, just contact me in private." The imperial concubine made a fuss as soon as she opened her mouth.
Hearing this, the weapon dealer knew that the Concubine Gui knew the truth, so he coldly threw out the banknotes, "You fool me with fake banknotes, it's okay if the business can't be done, this is deceiving people too much, don't If you think you are members of the royal family, we will be afraid of you, and if you don’t give me an account of this matter, everyone will be in trouble.”
The noble concubine said angrily: "The Ai family still needs to lie to you for so much money? Have you been to the bank?"
"I went today. The shopkeeper almost reported me to the Yamen and arrested me. You have to give me the real banknote or make a scene." The weapon dealer sternly said.
The imperial concubine picked up the bank note in surprise, and frowned when she saw the words Dingfenghao. Hu Huanxi and her family were not the only folks in the bank, so why did they change to Dingfenghao?
"Could it be that someone from Dingfeng did something wrong?" asked the noble concubine.
"Impossible, I kept watching, and said that they didn't know that we exchanged bank notes, so how could they prepare fake bank notes in advance? I have also exchanged tickets for the Dingfeng before, and there was no such situation." The arms dealer also said: This is not the first time he has dealt with a bank account. He has exchanged Dingfeng account many times, but he has never tried this.
Therefore, he was certain that they were playing tricks and trying to do nothing.
The Concubine Gui thought for a while, "How about this, you go back first, within three days, Ai's family will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
The weapon dealer was not afraid that she would run away, so he stood up and said coldly: "Okay, I will come back in three days, but I have to calculate the interest on these bank notes, and I will return the principal and interest after three days, otherwise, just wait."
After speaking, he took the people and left.
The Concubine Gui was so angry that she scolded King Nanhuai for being stupid, how could she let the arms dealer know her true identity and come to him.
