Qun Jade Pavilion is a palace in the sky hovering above Liyue Harbor. It is the private palace of Tianquan Ningguang among the Seven Stars of Liyue. At the same time, it is also a symbol of her power and status in Liyue.
Whether it is its extremely splendid appearance or the height that overlooks Liyue Port and even the entire land of Liyue, it unquestionably shows people that she is the leader among the merchants of Liyue Port. Like Qunyu Pavilion, Ningguang's power is also supreme.
Looking at the whole of Liyue, she is inferior to one god and superior to ten thousand people!
Almost all the people in Liyue could only look up to her, except for the former God of Liyue—Emperor Yanwang.
Of course, that emperor is no longer here...
Therefore, the current 'Tianquan' Ningguang is the de facto leader among thousands of people, and is the actual ruler and uncrowned king of Liyue!
"..."
However, at this time, almost at the same time as the Young Master of Fools received the report, in the Jade Pavilion, which was as magnificent as a fairy pavilion, Ning Guang was staring at the bag of gold coins on her table with an ugly expression. His eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"..."
In front of her was her secretary and maid Bai Xiao.
Facing Ning Guang's stern and ugly face, she was also slightly uneasy and uneasy, but she didn't dare to leave easily. She had to bite the bullet and lowered her head slightly, standing there helplessly waiting for her master's question. .
"..."
'Tianquan' Ningguang didn't speak, but frowned slightly and stared at the gold coins in his hand as he pondered.
Actually, to be honest, she could tell right away that they were counterfeit coins!
Not to mention anything else, just the serial number composed of secret words dedicated to the Golden House directly betrayed it. Therefore, even if it is very realistic and even better than the real Mora, the fake one is still fake. Yes, no matter how well it is done, it is still fake.
However, although it is fake, what Ningguang values more is that it appeared at this critical point in time and may have an impact on Liyue's originally unshakable financial hegemony in the Tiyvat continent!
To be honest, if what the other party forged was exactly the same as the real thing, and even the power of the God of Rock contained in it was not bad at all, then forget it. She has more important things to do now, and she has no time to worry about this nonsense. , maybe put it aside for a while?
But!
The 'counterfeit coins' created by the other party are not only exactly the same in appearance, but they are actually filled with several times more power from the God of Rock, and the power is even purer. So what's going on?
Another thing she couldn't figure out was that the other party's metal refining process seemed to have reached a terrifying level that Liyue could only look up to. In fact, the purity of the gold used was actually higher than their genuine gold produced by the 'Golden House' The purity of the mola gold produced is much higher?
Even some alchemical levels of gold are inferior to it?
Therefore, Ningguang gradually came to understand that some people were messing around unscrupulously, even at a loss, and it was obvious that they had bad intentions, and it was obvious that they wanted to attack them. Liyue and the 'Golden House' were here. The world's financial status, this is the kind of person who wants to put them Liyue and the 'Golden House' to death, and they are still trying to draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron!
"explain!"
"Where did these counterfeit coins come from?"
So, after thinking about it, Ningguang spoke.
She raised her head, holding the golden and brand-new molas in her hand, and asked Bai Xiao, the secretary who brought her the bag of gold coins, in a non-arrogant tone.
"yes……"
"Lord Ningguang."
"This bag of gold coins was collected from Xinyuexuan and Liuli Pavilion. It is only a small part of it."
"They have a new shareholder, and these gold coins are that person's franchise fee. After our people found out, I was bold and asked them to collect all the counterfeit coins. There were more than 100,000 in total. That’s more than one billion?”
"After all, you know that we have shares in Xinyuexuan and Liuli Pavilion and are the major shareholders. Moreover, with your status in Liyue, Lord Ningguang, they don't dare to refuse."
Bai Xiao, the maid and secretary, certainly didn't dare to hide anything, and hurriedly told everything she knew.
"More than 100,000 pieces?"
"Um……"
"Although the quantity is not large, it is far inferior to the previous monthly output of the Golden House. It is still a bit powerless to use this to attack Liyue's financial order, but this quantity..."
"It's not that little!"
"continue!"
"What else happens?"
After mumbling to himself for a while, Ning Guang continued to ask without comment.
"correct!"
"I heard that these things seem to be circulated in small batches in the market?"
“There’s also the black market in Liyue!”
“These things have been sold to very high and ridiculous prices recently!”
"It is precisely because of the huge profits that have recently reached a premium of nearly 20 times on the black market. After that, many people went to the market to search. Occasionally, someone got three or five coins. I guess the total amount should not be much."
Secretary Bai Xiao gave a high-five, and then she remembered and quickly added what she knew. After all, in her opinion, this news should be considered good news?
"Yeah?"
"very good!"
“It’s a good thing there’s no large-scale circulation, which means we discovered it fairly quickly!”
"only……"
"That's it!"
"go!"
"Have people go to Xinyuexuan and Liuli Pavilion again, tell them that the matter is very important, and ask them to turn over what they have hidden away!"
"I know their character."
"If I don't open my mouth, it would be good if I could hand over half of it to you."
Ning Guang snorted coldly, and then ordered like this.
"ah?"
"yes……"
Baixiao quickly lowered his head and then responded.
Regarding this, Bai Xiao couldn't help but clicked his tongue. This was really unexpected. Xinyue Xuan and Liuli Pavilion only turned over part of it. Doesn't that mean that there are at least more than 100,000 counterfeit coins?
If you include the ridiculous premium that was speculated, the value of more than 200,000 coins is actually more than 40 billion?
That's crazy!
You know, counterfeiting molas is a serious crime, and the amount is so large. Who would be so bold to create so many of them, and they are better than the real ones?
"correct!"
"Lord Ningguang."
"There's one more thing we heard..."
"This kind of 'counterfeit currency' Mora was first discovered by people from the Northland Bank. They were also the first to start purchasing this newly minted 'counterfeit currency' in Fangshi. They even sent people to Xinyuexuan and Liuli Ting to discuss the currency exchange?"
"It was precisely because of their abnormal behavior that the secret of the 'counterfeit currency' was later discovered and they began to be speculated on in the black market."
Thinking of another thing, and it was related to the fools, Bai Xiao certainly did not dare to neglect, and quickly reported the important information with a straight face.
"!
"
"Northland Bank!"
"Fools?!"
as expected!
Hearing what Bai Xiao said, Ning Guang raised his eyebrows, then he snorted angrily and stood up from his seat.
"I knew it!"
"The matter has nothing to do with them!
"
Obviously, from Ningguang's point of view, the Fools took the lead in secretly recovering the counterfeit coins, and the matter may...or must have something to do with them!
In fact, even if they make no move, those guys will be the first ones she suspects!
After all, Beiguo Bank is the only foreign financial institution in Liyue. Who has the strength to conduct such large-scale counterfeit currency casting except Beiguo Bank and the fools behind it?
Furthermore, she knew that the things that the Fools forged were not just Mora, but also other sensitive things, such as some kind of talisman and the Eye of God?
Those things they consider to be secret, do they think she, Tianquan Ningguang, doesn't know anything?
"that……"
"Lord Ningguang, she seems to be the one who brought counterfeit coins to spend money in Xinyuexuan and Liuli Pavilion, and even in the entire market in Liyue. In the end, she also bought shares in two restaurants?"
Seeing his master's angry look, Bai Xiao swallowed in fear, then hurriedly pointed at a wanted list posted on the 'Qunyu Pavilion Intelligence Wall' posted to the side.
"!?"
"is her?!"
Her expression was slightly startled, which quite surprised her.
"Yes."
"but……"
"According to reliable information, the other two suspects who have contact with the little girl Anne, and an astrologer from Fontaine seem to have some connection with Northland Bank?"
"The blond girl and the little flying thing who appeared at the Immortal Invitation Ceremony were seen entering the North Country Bank before they left Liyue."
Then, Bai Xiao, who was afraid that she might provide wrong information and lead to Master Ningguang's misjudgment, hurriedly continued to report some of the information she had investigated.
"Um."
"Then that's right."
"All the clues and connections definitely point to the fools!"
"but……"
"Didn't Mond fall out with the Fools?"
"Could it be..."
"Is this all a facade?"
After frowning and muttering for a few words, Ningguang suddenly stopped talking.
They already knew that the little girl Anne came from Mondstadt and had a subtle relationship with the Knights of the West Wind. The blond girl was simply an honorary knight of the Knights of the West Wind. It was said that she had done something wrong in solving the Wind Demon Dragon turmoil and fighting against the Fools. A lot of force?
But now, why are they hanging out with the Fools again? Could it be that the quarrel between Mondstadt and the Fools was just an act to show Liyue, and Zhidong and Mond are playing a big game of chess?
"..."
As he thought about it, Ning Guang's face couldn't help but become a little uglier.
Before, because she needed to implement a certain plan, she defaulted to thinking that the little girl Anne from Mondstadt was responsible for the assassination of the Rock King Emperor, and used this to carry out large-scale operations and searches. But now, things have become complicated and confusing again. Getting up, she didn't know how to judge.
"Lord Ningguang?"
"How are we going to deal with this?"
For a long time, Baixiao, who saw that his master was silent and had reported all the information he had obtained, couldn't help but ask cautiously.
"snort!"
"Don't do anything!"
"Continue collecting information!"
"Our first priority now is to stabilize order in Liyue!"
With a cold snort, Ning Guang's originally hesitant expression instantly became firm, and he gritted his teeth decisively as he seemed to have made a certain decision.
"That……"
"What about the black market?"
"They are allowed to speculate on counterfeit coins, and the prices are twenty times higher than the real coins. Isn't it a little bad that the counterfeit coins are worth more than the real coins?"
Baixiao is really worried about this issue.
Because, once those black market guys continue to speculate, the news that the 'counterfeit coins' are better than the 'real coins' will definitely spread to Fangshi, Liyue and even the entire Teyvat continent. Oh no.
"snort!"
"So what if it's not good?"
"but……"
"It's true that we can't just let it go!"
"But, we have to start from the source!"
After thinking about it, Ningguang quickly thought of a way to deal with it. After walking back and forth for a few steps with his arms crossed.
"??"
"Source, source?"
Bai Xiao was startled, unable to realize what the source of her Master Ningguang's words was.
"go!"
"First of all, send someone to find the little girl as soon as possible!"
“If you can’t find it in the city, look for it outside the city!”
"If you can't find it outside the city, send someone to Mondstadt to look for it!"
"Anyway, we must find her as soon as possible!"
"But remember, don't act rashly after you find it, and be sure to report it to me as soon as possible!"
Ningguang didn't explain, she just walked to the scale on her very elegant long table, and then gave these instructions to Bai Xiao, the secretary and maid in front of her, in a crisp voice.
"yes!"
Baixiao quickly lowered her head and silently remembered her master's instructions in her heart.
"besides!"
"Send someone to keep an eye on Beiguo Bank and the Fools, twelve hours a day!"
"They are the culprits behind this matter!"
"As for the little girl..."
"snort!"
"Maybe it's just a smoke bomb they threw?"
In Ningguang's view, compared with the little girl from Mondstadt, the Fools and the Northland Bank, who have been eyeing Liyue for some purpose, are more suspicious, and only the other party has that. The ability to mass-produce 'counterfeit currency' Mora!
Therefore, she remained unchanged in response to all changes. No matter what happened, she just kept her sights on the Fools and the North Country Bank, and she only needed to pay attention to other minor details, and there should be no problems.
"OK."
"Lord Ningguang, will that slave withdraw first?"
Bai Xiao, who nodded and knew what she should do, glanced at Ning Guang first. After finding that the other party had no more instructions, she quickly retreated, preparing to convey their master's order as soon as possible.
"..."
After Baixiao left for a long time, he turned around to look at the bag of brand new gold coins and picked up one of them. After carefully feeling and absorbing the abundant and pure power of the Rock God, Ningguang couldn't help but feel a smile on his face. There was a trace of satisfaction.
But soon, her face turned cold, and with a little force of her fingers, she squeezed the brand-new gold coin, which had lost the power of the Rock God, into an irregular small golden ball.
"Ten thousand face value..."
"You can make a profit several times by making a coin. Does the person who makes this kind of 'counterfeit coin' really want to kill one thousand enemies and lose ten thousand to himself?"
"whispering sound……."
“It’s really like one wave after another!”
If we only consider the benefits itself, we have to say that this gold coin is indeed better than the real thing. If possible, Ningguang herself would like to use the 'real coins' produced by their gold house to exchange the other party's 'counterfeit coins' Yes, and it also guarantees that you can exchange as many as you have, even two for one, or even five for one?
But...
The nature of this matter is very bad and serious, she must not turn a blind eye!
Otherwise, their financial status in Liyue will be hit like a tsunami, which she absolutely cannot tolerate. She must find the source as soon as possible and kill it!
And then...
Although the specific reason for the emperor's death is not yet known, it is an indisputable fact that the Golden House has ceased production. She must think of a way to deal with it as soon as possible!
"Fools..."
"I hope you have nothing to do with this real thing, otherwise..."
Obviously, Ningguang still doesn't want to believe that the little girl who appeared inexplicably will be the source of the gold coins. She is more willing to believe that the Fools attacked the emperor in some way, and then gained the emperor's power and used it to humiliate him. And attack them in Liyue!
After all, the fools in the Kingdom of Ice have that ability, that strength, and they even have that criminal record!
But she already knows what happened in Mondstadt. It is said that the god of Mondstadt, the heart of Barbatos, was taken away by the "lady" of fools?
Therefore, she is extremely vigilant and wary of fools!
And now, since some people have begun to attack Liyue's financial and minting status, and the Fools want to secretly recover the 'counterfeit coins', then she will naturally put the suspect on the Fools. As for the truth Whatever it is, it doesn't matter now.
"but……"
"Things always seem to get around her!"
After the analysis, Ningguang walked back to the 'Qunyu Pavilion Information Wall' where various information was posted, and looked at the photo of the little girl on the wanted list.
First it was the Emperor of the Rock King, then the 'counterfeit coins' of the Fools, and then there was the immortal war between Jueyun that had just been reported. It seemed that all these things were related to this little girl Annie, so she felt that she should find the other party as soon as possible. , and go to the meeting in person?
