Hearing that no caterpillar talked about what happened, Du Er just complained in his heart, he never expected that Feng Zhisi and the three of them would do such a thing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info no caterpillar is still there muttering that the three people who worked together finally did not have a bad conscience, and left a cart of copper coins down, and did not let themselves be busy in vain. Du Er knew that it was not that the three of them were kind-hearted, but because there were not many caterpillars, they couldn't swallow them alone, so they deliberately left a cart to stumble over the caterpillars.

After complaining for a while, no caterpillar asked Du Er: "Outside, where did the three people come from?" Why do you not abide by the rules of the rivers and lakes so much, we heroes do things, saying that one is one, how can there be such a person who kills people and swallows them alone afterwards! ”

At this time, where did Du Er dare to mention Feng Zhisi and a few people, there was no caterpillar in his heart, and there was no door on his mouth, so if he told him, it might be known to many people. just said vaguely: "A few outsiders who met by chance before, they really know people and don't know their hearts, I can't imagine that they can do such a thing!" When I encounter it in the future, I can't be spared! ”

He didn't have a caterpillar brain, and he didn't dwell on this kind of thing, so he asked Du Er: "Outside, what should I do now?" There are so many lives on the official road, and the government will definitely investigate it strictly, so I have to hide and avoid it. ”

"Yes, yes, but it should be arranged first, so as not to arouse the doubts of others. If this kind of thing happens in Longmen Town, a few of you will definitely be suspicious, and you will suddenly get lost at this time, which is suspicious. By the way, where did you hide the copper coins? Be careful, if you show it, you will cause great trouble! ”

Speaking of copper coins, no caterpillar hurts as if it was cut off from the flesh of the heart: "Those three killers have pushed the boat away, how can we move the copper coins?" After dragging in the river for a while, I had no choice but to hide at the bottom of the river first, and then go to fetch it when the wind passed. ”

Du Er's mind was now full of what troubles Feng Zhisi and the three of them would cause, and he was not so enthusiastic about the copper coin, so he just nodded again and again: "You are doing the right thing, hide the copper coin first, and talk about it in a few days." ”

It wasn't until three poles in the morning that Xu Ping took Tan Hu and a few people to the Yamen of the transfer envoy slowly and leisurely. Being an official in a foreign country is this advantage, and you don't have to go to court every morning like in the capital, and black and white are reversed. In Luoyang City, when Xu Ping could choose to go to the yamen according to his own temperament, sometimes he was annoyed, and there was nothing until he went to the yamen for a few days. Even a few days ago, there was nothing to do in the yamen, Xu Ping also went to Songshan for a tour, and he had a very good time.

After entering the yamen, he first went to the governor's hall and dealt with his daily affairs, so Xu Ping changed into civilian clothes and came to the garden of the back office. I chose a shade with a cool breeze, made tea, and sat comfortably looking at the backlog of official documents.

I don't know how much time passed, I heard the sound of chaotic footsteps, and without waiting for the official to report, I saw Wang Yaochen hurriedly walking in and rushing in front of the official.

In front of Xu Ping, Wang Yaochen even forgot about the ceremony, and said to Xu Ping: "Yunxing, something big happened in Henan Mansion!" ”

It was rare to see the gentle Wang Yaochen like this, Xu Ping hurriedly stood up and said to him: "What is the matter, Bo Yong sat down and said slowly!" Come on, tea! ”

Wang Yaochen waved his hand: "Don't want tea!" Yunxing, a robbery occurred on the official road in Longmen Town, outside Luoyang City in the early hours of this morning, and robbers killed more than a dozen escorts and robbed five carts of copper coins! ”

Hearing this, Xu Ping frowned and asked Wang Yaochen: "Grab copper coins?" What do you do to grab copper coins? ”

"What else can be done? Yunxing, grabbing money, they are grabbing money! Of course, the money grabbing is for the pleasure of spending all day drinking! ”

"Don't be in a hurry, Boyong, let's talk slowly. I know it's a money grab, but what's the use of them grabbing a few carts of copper coins? Now not only in Xijing City, but also in the surrounding states and counties, large transactions do not use copper coins, and they have to be delivered in the money bank. These thieves snatched a few truckloads of copper coins, but they couldn't transport them, and they spent them again, what do they want to do? Boyong, there must be something strange about this matter! ”

Wang Yaochen was stunned for a moment, and only said after a while: "Yes, this money can't be spent!" What did they rob for? ”

After speaking, he slowly sat down beside Xu Ping and began to think carefully.

Xu Ping's new policy actually abolished a large part of the circulation capacity of copper coins, and it was no longer the same as before, as long as copper coins were in hand, they could be exchanged for anything. Now, as long as there are more than 10 transactions, theoretically speaking, the accounts must go from the bank. In fact, the ten copper coins weigh more than 50 catties, and it is not convenient to carry them on the body. Counting the carts of copper coins, according to the current situation, it takes a lot of effort to spend them, and it is not something that ordinary people can do.

The New Deal has not been implemented for a long time, and many people's thinking is still stuck in old habits, often ignoring the impact on real life. Wang Yaochen was in a hurry just now, so he forgot about this stubble, and Xu Ping reminded him that this case was not so simple.

After Wang Yaochen calmed down, Xu Ping asked about the specific situation.

After listening to Wang Yaochen, Xu Ping thought for a while and asked, "Didn't the escort leave a single living mouth?" ”

"There is another one who has a breath left, and it is called Gong Liu. At that time, he was slashed to the bone in the shoulder with a knife and fell in the rice field, not fatally wounded. But when someone treated him, after a long time, he bled too much and fainted. Now, although he is hanging for his life, he has been in a coma and cannot ask questions. According to the doctor, you have to wait a few days to recover your spirits. ”

Xu Ping nodded: "It's good to have such a person, there is always a clue." Boyong, I think it is not feasible for you to think about it if Henan Mansion has to do such a few things now. First, copper coins are bound to be difficult to spend in Henan Province, especially when a robbery occurs and the state and county step up investigation. These robbers either hid the copper coins or transported them away. How can the hearts of robbers be united? They do this kind of big case just for money, if they hide it, it's okay to talk about it for a day or two, but as the days go by, they will inevitably show their feet. If they transport it away, they can only take the road by land, tax cards everywhere, a few carts of copper coins can't hide from people, and nine times out of ten they have to go by water. The town of Longmen is close to the Yi River, and it flows down to the Luo River and is the most likely route. You must hurry up to the prefectures and counties, block the waterways of the Luohe River, especially the Doumen of Shakou Town, Gongxian County, and check all the boats that pass by. Of course, although the upper reaches of the Luo River may not be large, it is still necessary to send people to inspect them. In addition, even the Ru River could not be spared, and the patrol army was informed to strictly inspect all the boats on the river. Second, we must prevent the robbers from trying to get ahead of us, find a place to exchange copper coins for gold and silver and light goods, and abscond with them before they find out. I don't think it's possible to come to Xijing City if I want to change, it must be outside the city. In addition to the Xijing City in Henan Prefecture, there are not many large households that can exchange a few cars of copper coins at once, and the officials of the prefecture and county have been sent out to inspect these large households one by one. ”

After this meeting, after listening to Xu Ping's words, Wang Yaochen gradually figured out his clue and said to Xu Ping: "Yun Xing is right, that's what he did!" By the way, the case happened in Longmen Town, where Tong Dalang and a few people were idle and vagrants, people who were riddled with crimes, I was going to send someone to investigate them, how about Yun Xing? ”

"If there is such a big case, none of the bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods in Longmen Town can be missed, of course, it must be carefully investigated." Speaking of this, Xu Ping remembered the routine in "Water Margin" he watched in his previous life, and added, "There are also errands in the yamen, these people have collusion with local idlers, you'd better send your henchmen to check them in private." ”

After chatting a few more words about the case, Wang Yaochen took a sip of tea and hurriedly went to make arrangements.

Watching Wang Yaochen leave, Xu Ping sat on the stone bench and thought alone. Now that the cash of copper coins is not easy to spend, coupled with the strict investigation of money in households, it is also difficult to collect it in private, and this case is not difficult to solve. But it's one thing to be able to solve a crime, but the perpetrator may not be able to catch it. Let Xu Ping choose by himself, but also quickly take off the copper coin, exchange it for gold, silver and jewelry, and leave Jingxi Road with it. In other places, with the actual conditions of this era, it will be difficult to arrest people again.

It is easy for a robber who has a family and a job in the local area to catch, just like the Chao Gai of the Birth Gang, and the homeless people will have a lot of difficulties, so they can only try their luck. The most important thing now is to put the case aside first and minimize the impact on the bank.

Thinking of this, Xu Ping sent a public official to call Chong Shiheng over.

When Chong Shiheng arrived at the back office, he saluted Xu Parallel and said, "Du Cao called the lower officials to come over, I don't know what to order?" ”

Xu Ping said: "The five truckloads of copper coins that were transported from the Qianzhuang in Longmen Town to the city in the early hours of this morning were robbed, and I don't know how much I lost. I would like to send you over to take a look, first, to understand the local situation, and second, to find out how much has been lost, so as to prepare early. Don't cause people to panic and think that the bank has no money to pay. In particular, there is a large camp of the forbidden army there, so as to prevent them from making trouble. ”

"Yudu Cao, as far as the lower officials know, the carriages that transport copper coins are all three hundred and fifty full of one cart, without exception. Five carts of copper coins is 1,750 yuan, and there is no problem with the payment of money in the city. ”

Xu Ping nodded: "I also know that there is no problem, but I am afraid that someone will take the opportunity to make trouble and create rumors." When it comes to money, the people are very easy to be instigated, and they must be guarded against. ”

The weight of the copper coin varies according to the year of casting, the copper coin at this time is still quite fine, according to the regulation of the Tang Dynasty "Kaiyuan Tongbao", the weight of the foot is five catties and a few taels, and the province has always been about four catties. A carriage can't pull 2,000 catties of goods, so it can only hold more than 300 feet, and the amount is actually not particularly large. But when it was publicized, as soon as I heard that a whole five carts of copper coins had been robbed, people with hot brains were afraid that they would think it was an astronomical amount, and maybe something would happen. The ordinary people are okay to be appeased, and the forbidden troops in those barracks are idle every day, and there may be something going on.

Chong Shiheng bowed his hand and said goodbye, Xu Ping said again: "By the way, when you go, bring two carts of copper coins over by the way, so that the people of Longmen Town can see that there is no shortage of real money in the money village." If anyone forcibly wants to pay it, he will give it to them, but he must say that all the rules such as the money must not be broken, and those who take it back must follow the law. ”

Chong Shiheng agreed and turned around.
