After hearing this, Chen Shi's pupils shrank, his eyes dilated, and he fell into shock in just a moment.

However, after the brief shock, he immediately came back to his senses, looked at Zhang Han, and angrily shouted: "Impossible!"

"Why are you so slandering the current prince? Why do you want to seek death?" Although Chen Shi was just a fake painter, he had learned a lot in Prince Jing's Mansion, so when he scolded him, he was actually quite powerful.

If he were an ordinary person, he might have been coaxed by him.

Unfortunately, he met Zhang Han.

Facing Chen Shi's threat, he didn't take it seriously, but waved his hand and said, "Tell him how Yan Zhi died."

At that moment, a member of the Imperial Forest Army stood up and vividly told the story of the cause and consequences of Rouge's death.

After listening, Chen Shi frowned, but still didn't want to believe it.

In his heart, Liu Jing is a good person! An out-and-out good guy!

The paintings I draw are fake. Even if I am a skilled painter, in the eyes of those who really know how to paint, I am nothing more than a clown.

It was Liu Jing who gave him a chance to get ahead.

If it weren't for Liu Jing, he probably would never have seen so much money in his life.

Besides, what is Yan Zhi’s identity and what is Liu Jingyou’s identity? These two people are incompatible with each other, so Liu Jing has no reason to kill Yan Zhi at all.

Even though Zhang Han had already given the reason, in Chen Shi's view, it was still not sufficient.

After all, Liu Jing was kind to him. With this love in his heart, he would naturally put a layer of filters on when looking at things.

Hearing this, Zhang Han sneered and said, "You really won't die until you see the Yellow River, and you won't shed tears until you see the coffin."

"Then let me ask you, you are living a safe and comfortable life in Prince Jing's Mansion, why did you run out?"

Although Zhang Han didn't know the specific reason, he could guess at least seventy-eight points based on his intelligence.

"This..." Chen Shi choked up for a moment, because he did find something wrong in the letter and was worried that something would happen to Rouge, so he came out.

But..., he had never doubted that Yan Zhi's death had anything to do with Liu Jing.

But after being reminded by Zhang Han, he felt like he was enlightened and suddenly realized.

Yes!

Even Zhang Han knew that Yan Zhi was dead, and it was impossible for the prince not to know.

If that's the case, why didn't you tell me and instead kept hiding it from me?

Thinking of this, Chen Shi's heart began to waver.

He also remembered that Rouge's letter said that his parents were sick and needed a large sum of money for medical treatment.

That letter reached him about twenty days ago. Since then, he has started to draw new rubbings day and night.

So he hurriedly asked: "When did Rouge die?"

Zhang Han heard this and said bluntly: "It will take about a month after death."

"Almost everyone knows about Anshan Lane and Yingchun Tower. If you don't believe me, you can go and find out for yourself."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Shi suddenly became weak, his body was like a puddle of mud, and he collapsed to the ground.

Since Zhang Han dares to say this, then this news is most likely true.

But how could someone who died a month ago write to him twenty days ago?

There's something strange about it. As long as you think about it a little, you can easily find out the reason.

The letter was written by Liu Jing to ask someone to help him make new rubbings!

Chen Shi was not stupid, he just didn't want to believe it or believe it.

But at this moment, he had to believe it.

The former Bole actually only thought of himself as a machine that printed banknotes.

Coupled with the tragic death of his beloved, several blows came one after another in an instant, almost overwhelming the man.

Seeing this, Zhang Han frowned slightly and said, "Is it possible that you don't want revenge?"

"Revenge? He is a noble prince, and I am just a commoner. How can I get revenge?" Chen Shi smiled mockingly to himself.

Zhang Han heard this and sneered: "You haven't realized what you are doing?"

"Printing counterfeit banknotes privately, even if you are a prince, will be punished by death!"

"As long as you are willing to come forward and correct me, I can plead with the emperor for you and give you a lighter sentence."

As soon as he said this, Chen Shi looked at Zhang Han with burning eyes, as if he was dying again, and asked: "Is this true?"

It was not that Chen Shi had never thought about revenge, but..., he felt that since he had fallen into such a situation, there was probably no way out.

Why do you need to confess Liu Jing?

If he fails to kill the other party, it will only be his relatives, friends, parents and relatives in Ganzhou who will suffer.

He knew how ruthless and decisive Liu Jing was.

But now, with Zhang Han's words, he couldn't help but have a new thought in his heart: "As long as you can save me..., no, I know that I cannot escape the death penalty. As long as you can save my parents and relatives in Ganzhou, I will Tell me everything you know, and tell me everything you know.”

Zhang Han felt a little emotional when he heard this. Although Chen Shi had committed a heinous crime by helping Liu Jing secretly print counterfeit money, he was still a filial person.

"Don't worry, Liu Jing is going to Yizhou now. When he comes back, he will probably go through some big changes."

"He doesn't have many followers in the court anymore."

The implication is that Liu Jing is no longer a match for His Royal Highness.

However, when these words fell into Chen Shi's ears, they seemed extremely strange.

It's not that His Highness the Crown Prince is not Liu Jing's opponent, but the word "Yizhou".

"When did Liu Jing go to Yizhou?"

"About twenty days ago, what happened?" Zhang Han was a little confused when he saw Chen Shi's expression was wrong.

"The timing is right. Before Liu Jing left, he used a fake letter to trick me into making new rubbings."

"As for the counterfeit banknotes made from new rubbings, I have made some inquiries in private. Most of them are shipped to the state capitals around Qiandu City. I have never heard of any being shipped to Yizhou."

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Han suddenly became alert and said: "New rubbings? Even if there are new rubbings, how can you print out banknotes without oil ink and ingot seals?"

"The Yuanbao Seal has already been rubbed and imitations made."

"Although it is difficult, I can draw rubbings, let alone ingot seals?"

"As for oil, coal and ink, Prince Jing's palace has a lot of them stored. It is estimated that they will still be used for a while."

Hearing this, Zhang Han's face turned visibly ugly.

Unexpectedly, the counterfeit banknotes they had worked so hard to resist could actually resurface. Could it be that Liu Jing had to make the entire Daqian people unable to buy food and have enough to eat before he would be willing to give in?

But then, he remembered Chen Shicai's words: "You said that all the printed banknotes were shipped to the surrounding state capitals? Not to Yizhou?"

Chen Shi nodded again when he heard this, expressing his affirmation.

When Zhang Han heard this, he stopped talking and began to ponder.

That much money must be used to recruit soldiers and horses. After all, bribing ministers is no longer possible.

But even if we want to recruit troops and gain an advantage in countering the rebellion, we should still send the money to Yizhou. Why send it to the surrounding state capitals?

Zhang Han frowned, confused.

After pondering for half a stick of incense, he suddenly realized that his face turned ugly at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
