Li Changting: "so much gold, Yu poming can't bear it alone, and Fu Xitang just lent money to Beiling army in their name. The reason can be our good intentions."
Xu Qing: "good intentions?"
Li Changting: "both the Yu family and the Fu family have no intention of intervening in the imperial court, so they will certainly focus on kunzhou and Lanzhou. Now they will give the Beiling army convenience, and later they will be given convenience by the Beiling army."
Xu Qing touched his chin and nodded: "I see."
After the Beiling army was stationed in kunzhou and Lanzhou, Yu Boming and Fu Xitang would have to deal with them. If they could get a picture from the Beiling army, it would be absolutely beneficial and harmless for them.
At the same time, Yu and Fu will also appreciate her kindness.
As for where her money came from, Yu poming won't ask more, and he doesn't care. Fu Xitang doesn't know. Xu Qing doesn't know him very well.
But it's better than fooling Hu Ling now. At least Fu Xitang is not here. I don't know the specific situation. It's very easy to find an excuse not to be seen through.
But it's all in the future. Let's talk about it later.
The next day, Li Changting and Xu Qing rushed to a small town on the edge of Lanzhou.
Lanzhou's people are fierce. It's just a small town around. They dare to set up a road block at the gate of the town. People always ask for and ask for tolls.
It's not a small Gang, it's the whole town.
It is said that all the people here are bandits. When Xu Qing saw an old woman drawing a knife from the cabbage basket and threatening them to pay, she could not describe her face. Then he knew that there was no exaggeration in this sentence.
Duanmu rings and sweeps the sign standing at the intersection. It costs three Wen per person.
He took out one or two small silver spindles from his sleeve pocket. The woman's eyes brightened when she saw the silver, and her fierce face immediately turned into flattery.
Duanmu Xiang threw the silver to her: "let's find a blacksmith called a hammer."
The woman took the silver and touched it. She said with a smile, "come with me, I'll take you!"
After entering the small town, the people inside all subconsciously looked at Xu Qing. But before coming, Xu Qing made some disguises, put on black strong clothes, covered his face and only showed his eyes.
Xu Qingmu did not squint, but Yu Guang swept quietly. The horse followed the woman across the street to an alley.
The woman went to the door of a house, slapped the wooden door with a thump, yelled and scolded in a loud voice: "hammer, you bastard, you are still sleeping at this time, you pig head, the shop is not open! Open the door, business is coming
After a while, there was no movement. The woman threatened to split his door. Only then came the sound of footsteps in a hurry.
"It's coming, it's coming!" A short, slovenly dressed young man opened the door from the inside, "just went to the hut, what's the hurry?"
When the woman saw him come out, she didn't say much. She said respectfully to Duanmu ring, "you guys, this is the hammer. I won't disturb you." Then he left with the basket.
Li Changting dismounted with Xu Qing in his arms, looked at their hammer curiously and said, "come in and talk."
The hammer heard his voice, suddenly hit a cold war, his face was frightened.
Xu Qing saw that his knees were bent. He didn't know if his legs were soft, but his face was really white.
Duanmu Xiang said with a smile: "don't be afraid, we just have a small matter to trouble you. If it's done well, there will be a heavy reward."
The hammer swallowed saliva, scanned the people who were not far away from here, and said to them, "please, please come in."
Three people led the horse into the yard, the hammer quickly closed the bolt, and then invited them into the house.
The living room was clean, but Li Changting didn't have time to sit around. He said, "I need you to help me make some money."
The hammer widened his eyes: "ah? Cast What are you casting? "
Li Changting: "golden spindle."
The hammer swallowed his saliva and looked at Li Changting strangely, with a kind look in his eyes, which was similar to that of his peers: "you When will you Have you done such a thing? "
Xu Qing suddenly realized that this man was a forger.
Instead of answering his question, Li Changting said, "pack up, take the molds and follow me to kunzhou."
The hammer frowned: "to kunzhou?"
As soon as his face changed, he was embarrassed and said, "actually, I haven't cast fake money for a long time. Look, would you like to go to someone else?"
Li Changting: "after the natural disaster, the imperial court issued new coins. Later, it was found that many counterfeit copper coins and silver spindles flowed in from Lanzhou."
The hammer quickly waved: "this is definitely not me! I didn't do it
Xu Qing blinked. Why didn't she know about it?
Li Changting: "when you were working in the money casting Bureau, you stole a batch of molds. Do you need me to repeat this?"
The hammer suddenly cried: "my Lord, the dynasties have changed, can we not mention those old things?"Then he sighed and said, "the old molds can't be used any more. Although I have made new ones, what you want to cast is gold spindle, which doesn't need printing."
Xu Qing doubts: "why not need, not want unified printing?"
The hammer explained, "how rare is gold. Gold spindles have the same value as gold pimples, but can copper coins be the same as copper pimples? My Lord asked me to cast a gold spindle. Do you want to remove the printing on the gold so that it can be used conveniently? "
Li Changting nodded.
The hammer was relieved: "that's easy. It's simple. It's just Do you have to go to kunzhou? "
Xu Qing: "why not go to kunzhou?"
Hammer: "except Lanzhou, I don't feel safe."
Xu qingtiao eyebrows, is there anyone else willing to stay in such a chaotic place? It makes sense to think that a hammer is a forger.
Li Changting: "I can't bring money to Lanzhou. You're the only one to come with me. It's not negotiable."
Hammer tangled to think, in Li Changting more and more impatient eyes, hard scalp sigh: "OK."
At last, he rubbed his hands excitedly. "What's the reward?"
Seeing that Li Changting frowned slightly, he quickly waved his hand and said, "I don't want more, really! Just give me a few taels of silver. After all, I have to support my family. Don't you think so? "
Duanmu rang at the door and said, "yes, let's go."
Hammer to pick up things, mainly to take their own money casting guy thing.
Seeing the hammer driving the carriage away with several outsiders, people in the town gathered to ask him where he was going.
Xu Qing saw that they didn't worry much about the safety of the hammer, but more like they came to inquire for information.
The hammer is a blacksmith on the surface, and his private work behind his back is well known. His identity is a special one here.
