"A strong man breaks his wrists! I underestimated the Mexican family!"
In Yuanxiang bank, the second owner of Ziqian family took a deep breath and said something with a frozen face.
He never thought that the MOH family would calm the anger of the deceived people so quickly, and he didn't have a chance to incite him at all.
The Mohist family is now publicly offering a large reward for fake silver tickets. The whole city is terrified. The Ziqian family does not dare to act rashly. Moreover, the Mohist children publicize the knowledge of distinguishing true and false silver tickets on the streets. In addition, the revision of the silver tickets in the Mohist village is imminent, and the fake silver tickets he tried hard to print have become a pile of waste paper.
"But this time, I won't lose any money." the big shopkeeper of Yuanxiang bank smiled. This time, the son Qian family used fake silver tickets to pit the Mohist family for nearly 20000 yuan. It can be said to make a lot of money, which is much faster than printing money.
"If you can let the famous Mohist eat, the world will give up who I am." the second owner of the Zi Qian family was not ashamed, but proud. He was even complacent about his sneak attack.
"However, the Mohist family is not the loser. I think it will be tracked down. We......" the big shopkeeper of Yuanxiang bank said anxiously. Today's Mo family can't be underestimated. The folk forces in the court are not small. If they trace the Zi Qian family, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Don't worry, I have made precise arrangements, which will surely make the Mohist school return in vain." the second owner of the Ziqian family said carelessly. The Ziqian family can inherit for thousands of years and has been suppressed by the imperial court, but it still lives well. Naturally, it has its own set of hidden means.
The chief manager of Yuanxiang bank put down his doubts.
………………………………
In the Mo mansion, Merton and Shen Hongcai sat face to face and discussed the plight of the bank.
"Merton, the bank has lost a lot this time, and after the bank admires the people under a silver note, I'm afraid the rest of the victims are going to be unbearable." Shen Hongcai said with worry.
Merton nodded and said, "don't worry, master. I've sent people to investigate the counterfeit silver ticket case. I believe there will be a reply soon."
At this time, Mo Er came back to Mo's house and reported: "tell me, young master, there is news from Sichuan. Chu paper has no clue!"
The raw material of the fake silver note came from Chu paper. He was ordered to go to Sichuan, but he didn't expect that the other party's work was very hidden and wiped out all the clues.
Merton nodded, which was not surprising. Although Chu paper was precious, there were not many sales channels, and it was not surprising that it could not be found out.
"I've sent someone to investigate the famous ink making masters in the Tang Dynasty, but no one is suspicious." Xu Jie hurried to say, worried.
There are not many famous ink masters in the Tang Dynasty, especially around Chang'an city. He made great efforts to investigate and found nothing.
"I tell you, marquis, we have investigated the printing houses around Chang'an City, and there is no clue." Constable Cao of Chang'an County Yamen said with a tired face. Even if the bank has compensated 80% of the cheated, 20% of the cheated are constantly putting pressure on the Chang'an County Government.
Merton immediately looked disappointed. He didn't expect that the other party should be so cunning and do it without leakage.
"However, it is reported that an old craftsman from the Confucian journal recently asked for leave to go back to his hometown and hasn't come back yet." Constable Cao hesitated.
"Confucian journal!" Merton couldn't help himself.
"I'm not wrong. Only Confucian journals have such skills to imitate such a fake silver note." Mo Er said angrily.
"Mo Hou, do you doubt the Confucian journal?" Constable Cao hesitated. The Confucian journal is a Confucian journal. A small Constable dare not investigate Confucianism.
Merton shook his head and said, "Confucianism cherishes feathers most. Naturally, it will not do such a thing. Just focus on the craftsman. Go and check his hometown to see if he really goes back."
"Humble position, understand!" Constable Cao nodded.
Although Merton knew that the old craftsman was very suspicious, he also knew that the other party was just a nobody. Even if he found it, he would return in vain.
For a moment, the investigation of the fake silver ticket case was in trouble. Naturally, everyone knew that there was little hope and couldn't help but frown.
Suddenly, a constable hurried into the Mo mansion and bowed down and said, "I inform you, sir. There is a message from Zhuque street. The shopkeeper of the pan restaurant caught a man who used a fake silver note."
Cao was surprised and said, "OK, please tell me the good news of your humble position."
Immediately Constable Cao hurried away with his men, and Shen Hongcai couldn't wait to say, "I'll have a look, too."
Merton waved and asked Mo Er to follow Shen Hongcai. It was just a true and false news, which was not worth him.
The pan restaurant has been surrounded by a large number of people. These days, the fake silver ticket case has become the hottest topic in Chang'an city. The pan restaurant suddenly caught a person using fake silver tickets, which immediately aroused everyone's public anger.
"Chang'an County Yamen is in charge of affairs, and idle people get away." with Constable Cao yelling, the onlookers quickly opened a passage.
"Lord Cao is coming!"
When shopkeeper pan saw Constable Cao appear, he hurried forward.
"Where are the people?" Cao Li couldn't wait to say, not to mention the high reward offered by Mojia village, that is, he only solved the case, which is also a great achievement!
"Here you are!" shopkeeper pan pointed aside and saw his nephew tugging with the rich man.
Seeing the arrival of constable Cao, the rich man quickly shouted, "my Lord, I am wronged!"
Shopkeeper pan sneered: "wronged? The quality of the silver note you used is wrong. It's not a real silver note at all."
"Fake silver ticket!" the people couldn't help but brush their eyes on the rich man.
"Impossible, my silver ticket must be real!" the rich man argued with a red face.
"True or false! Let me have a look!" Constable Cao waved his hand. Recently, in order to track down the case of counterfeit silver tickets, he has made up a lot of knowledge to explain the true and false silver tickets.
"Sir, this is the fake silver ticket used by this man." shopkeeper pan handed one or two fake silver tickets to Constable Cao.
Constable Cao stretched out his hand to take it. He couldn't help but look at it. His eyes suddenly moved. The quality of this silver note was really wrong.
"This person has other silver tickets! This is the only one." Constable Cao asked cautiously. If the previous cheated person did not report in time, it would cause a wrong case.
"Lord Hui, there are still some silver tickets with wrong color in this man's arms." the nephew of the Cao family took out several silver tickets from the rich man's arms, and they were all wrong.
Cao Chuan's face sank and said coldly, "how can you explain this?"
The rich man was not confident enough: "in fact, it's all my mother-in-law's fault. She didn't look at it when washing clothes and directly soaked the silver ticket in water. This is what it looks like. If you don't believe it, the watermark of the silver ticket is still there."
"Watermark!" Constable Cao was stunned. The watermark is the most important sign of silver ticket anti-counterfeiting. He raised the silver ticket and saw the watermark as expected. However, due to soaking in water, the watermark is naturally more blurred than normal paper money.
"This..." Cao was in a dilemma when he caught the first meal. If the silver note was true, it was wrong, if it was false, and there was a watermark, even he was embarrassed.
"I'd better give it to you!" Shen Hongcai came forward and tied the silver note in Constable Cao's hand.
"This is master Shen, the chief manager of the Bank of Mojia village. He used to be a doctor of mathematics in the Imperial College. If you are a real silver note, you will not be wronged. If you are a fake silver note, you'd better be honest, or the crime will be even worse." Constable Cao threatened the rich man.
Upon hearing this, the rich man immediately said excitedly, "Dr. Shen, you have to make the decision! These silver tickets have indeed been washed. They can't be fake silver tickets."
Shen Hongcai carefully looked at the silver note, nodded and said, "this is really a real silver note. I think it's not good because it's washed."
"Unexpectedly!" shopkeeper pan was greatly disappointed. If he really caught the fake silver ticket, he would certainly get a rich reward from Mojia village. Now it's empty joy.
"Thank you, Dr. Shen, for vindicating me." the rich man broke away from the pull of the pan nephew and solemnly saluted Shen Hongcai.
"Aren't silver tickets made of paper? They are washed without breaking!" many people said.
"What if it's not broken? The quality is wrong, and it can't be spent. If the silver can't be washed away," someone sneered. Compared with a thin note, he still believes in white silver.
The rich man immediately frowned. The money was not a small sum. If he couldn't spend it, wouldn't it become waste paper?
Shen Hongcai waved his hand and said, "it doesn't matter. If your money is washed, you can go to the nearby Mojia village bank to exchange for a new silver ticket of the same amount for free."
"Can it still be like this?" the people couldn't help but exclaim.
The rich man smiled again. He was worried that his money could not be used, so he risked spending it. If he had known that he could go to the Mojia village bank to change it, how could he have made such a big misunderstanding.
Shen Hongcai Lang said, "not only that, even if your silver note is broken into pieces, you can go to the Mojia village bank to exchange it for a brand-new silver note. Even if you lose one piece, you can exchange it in full as long as there are three-quarters. If there is only half left, you can only exchange it for half of the denomination. If it is less than half, you can't exchange it."
"Can it be so?" many people were very surprised when they heard this little knowledge for the first time.
"The bank is really honest." shopkeeper pan exclaimed. With such humanized regulations of Mojia Village Bank alone, he believed that the bank would be able to stand firm.
"This time, my pan restaurant wronged you. In order to apologize to you, your meal expenses are free this time. How about compensation?" shopkeeper pan solemnly said to the rich man.
The rich man was also unjustified. He nodded his head to promise, and a misunderstanding was solved.
Seeing the public's response, Shen Hongcai couldn't help showing a trace of pride. Although it was an empty trip this time, it was a worthwhile trip to publicize the knowledge of silver tickets.
