Seeing Chen Shi's gesture, all the civil and military officials frowned and looked at Zhang Han doubtfully.
This matter has caused such a big fuss. In the end, it couldn't be a misfortune, right?
If this is really the case, the charge of slandering the prince is enough to make Duke Ding drink a pot of wine.
Zhang Han was speechless when he heard this. He stood up and said, "Your Majesty, in order to get Chen Shi to confess, I promised this person earlier that if he can provide valid information and perform meritorious service, his relatives will be pardoned and his sentence will be given a lighter sentence."
"I am good at making opinions, so please punish me."
After saying that, he fell to his knees with a pop.
After hearing this, Emperor Jing Xing understood. He waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. Although the crime you committed is extremely heinous, as long as you can help the court and make meritorious deeds."
"I agree to pardon my relatives."
After Chen Shi heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, knelt down on the ground, and told what he knew in detail.
After Chen Shi finished speaking, Zhang Han's guess was confirmed.
For a time, the civil and military officials couldn't help but feel heavier.
Even...some people are panicking.
If a prince rebels on weekdays, although they will be frightened, they will not panic.
But now, there are only 30,000 imperial guards left in Qiandu City. How to resist the coming rebels?
At the critical moment, Jia Pingsheng stood up. He looked at Chen Shi and asked, "How many banknotes have you printed in total?"
"Well..., the villain is only responsible for drawing the rubbings. As for the rubbings, the villain is not responsible for it."
"So I don't know exactly how many were printed, but I can be sure that the number is huge."
"So all these banknotes have been shipped away?" Zhang Xun also stood up and asked.
"Not yet, time is tight, and new banknotes are printed every day. They don't have time to transport them all at once, so they can only transport a small part every day."
"There should be a lot of fake banknotes in Prince Jing's Mansion."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all the civil and military officials brightened up.
Li Zhufeng took one step forward and asked for orders: "Your Majesty, I would like to lead the army to Prince Jing's Mansion to seize all counterfeit banknotes."
"Yes."
"In addition, those that have not been transported out of Qiandu City, or those that have not been transported far out of the city, must be chased back."
"This matter will be handed over to you."
"Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty. I will fulfill my mission!"
Afterwards, Li Zhufeng took the order and left, and the remaining civil and military officials continued to discuss with Emperor Jing Xing.
But until the sun sets and the moon rises above the branches, no reason is discussed.
The most difficult thing now is that Liu Jing is in the dark and they are in the open!
Everyone knows that there are 30,000 troops in Qiandu City. They have no idea how many men Liu Jing has, what his configuration is, whether he has cavalry, what kind of armor he wears, and what weapons he uses.
As the art of war goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.
On the contrary, if you don't know anything, no matter how much you discuss, it will be of no use.
In the end, we can only come to the conclusion that one soldier will block it and the water will cover it.
…
At this moment, in Prince Jing’s mansion.
Yan Xiaosan looked at the mountains of banknotes in front of him, unable to stop the greed in his eyes.
"What are you looking at? This is going to be sent to Jizhou. If there is one missing piece, our heads will be used as chamber pots." Lao Tang, an older money carrier on the side, said.
When Yan Xiaosan heard this, he didn't take it seriously.
He lost his parents because of urination, and was later sold into Yingchun House as a tortoise, living a life that even the lower class despised.
After many trips, he finally entered Prince Jing's Mansion by chance and found a job that provided him with no worries about food and clothing.
But... to be honest, he has never seen so many banknotes in his life!
Not to mention taking them all away, just taking away one or two is enough to keep me happy for half a year.
The girls in Yingchun Tower were all delicate and delicate, and when I was still there, I was busy carrying their excrement and urine.
Growing up in this land of smoke and willows, I had never even touched a woman's hand.
For a man who has already grown up, it is really a shame and a great humiliation.
"Lao Tang, the prince has left. There is no one in charge of the palace."
"Besides, we don't want to take more. With so many banknotes, if one or two are missing, it won't matter. No one will notice at all." Yan Xiaosan swallowed, the greed in his eyes was like substance.
When Lao Tang heard this, he frowned and lowered his voice: "If you want to die, don't take me with you."
After saying that, he picked up a basket of banknotes and turned around to leave.
They are cash carriers in Prince Jing's Mansion. They have room and board in the Prince's Mansion, and their monthly income is quite high.
The only condition is that the work content must be kept confidential and no information must be leaked to the outside world.
But this doesn't matter to people like them who are trying to make a living.
So, this is a perfect job!
There were a lot of people vying for it at first, but he relied on a lot of connections and was an honest person to grab such a spot.
So he cherishes this job very much and keeps to himself.
Yan Xiaosan is completely different. Growing up in the land of smoke and willows, he has never known the meaning of the word "rules".
All he knew was that something seemed to have happened in the palace recently.
In the past, these banknotes had to be carefully inspected.
But the nearest counting houses only glanced at it, and after confirming that the number was probably correct, they were allowed to continue carrying it.
This is...a good opportunity!
Seeing that there was no one around after Lao Tang left, Yan Xiaosan silently took a handful of banknotes from his backpack and stuffed them into his crotch.
Then he picked up his backpack and walked towards the accounting room.
Prince Jing's Mansion hired many accountants, all of whom were smart and capable.
In the past, when I was stared at by those pair of narrowed eyes, even if I didn't do anything wrong, I couldn't help but murmur in my heart.
Recently, things have been unusual. The eyes of these accounting gentlemen are no longer shrewd, but full of anxiety.
After Yan Xiaosan put down his backpack, the accountant in charge of him just took a cursory look at it and said, "It's over, go move a new one quickly."
"If the move cannot be completed within seven days, no payment will be issued."
Hearing this, Young Master Yan would have been sarcastic in the past.
Today, he was surprisingly docile. After nodding and bowing, he left the accounting room in a flash.
In the courtyard of Prince Jing's Mansion, there were many carriages parked. The carriages were well sealed, and hidden among them were cart after cart of banknotes.
What Yan Xiaosan had to do was to dump the banknotes he had brought in into the car.
In the evening, they will be transported away by the convoy.
But he didn't know exactly where it was going.
Yan Xiaosan poured out all the banknotes in the basket under the eyes of the guards.
When it was time to go back and carry it again, he hurriedly covered his crotch and cried mournfully: "Master Jun, I am in a hurry, can you go out for a while?"
The guard did not doubt that he was there, and just snorted: "Lazy people poop a lot." Then he made way for the gate leading to the palace.
When Yan Xiaosan saw this, he immediately became excited. He felt that he was about to live the life of his dreams.
However, when he walked to the door of the palace and stretched out his hand to push, a huge force came from outside the door.
The door was kicked open abruptly!
Accompanied by a cry of "The officers and soldiers have arrived, everyone will be arrested immediately."
The door fell towards him with a bang, pressing him under the door.
