Tianyu Mountain, Yaoguang Peak.
"Hey, brat, have you ever been cheated on?"
One evening, after a day of training and teaching, the master and the disciple sat side by side on the steps in front of the bamboo house. Perhaps it was because Yaoguang Peak had been deserted for too long. Liu Bailu had no idea about Qingya’s experience at the bottom of the mountain. Showed great interest.
Speaking of Qingya's experience at the foot of the mountain these years, it was really unremarkable, even miserable, but she was still full of curiosity about it.
"Yes, when I was twelve years old, the proprietress of Zhang Ji Mi Shop asked me to go to the tailor shop in the east of the city to pick up her custom-made robe, and promised to give me five cents as reward afterwards. When I got it back that day It was getting late when we arrived, so I put the robe in front of the rice shop as she said. But the next day she insisted that I had lost the clothes. There was no evidence at the time, and she was talking lightly, so she had no choice but to work in the rice shop in vain. You have to live for five days before you let me go, alas."
"Then you have to remember that women in the world will lie to others. The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie to others."
"Then will you lie to me?"
"Of course, now you go for a run on the mountain road again."
Qiantang County.
"I thought it was a Taoist teaching that could penetrate the heaven and earth, and I was talking about the Golden Dragon Vein. It turned out to be just a banknote with a heavy number. No wonder they are so generous?"
Growing up in a place like Huayinglou where good and bad people were mixed, Hua Qing'er's eyesight was sharpened and she could clearly discern the clues of the stack of banknotes in Qingya's hand at a glance.
Although this method is simple, it is also effective. After all, the banknote with a heavy number is not a fake banknote. It can still be exchanged for cash at the bank. The key is to get the printing plate of the banknote. It’s just that if things go on like this, the value of the banknote will become lower and lower, and eventually it will become a piece of waste paper. By then, the common people will really be so poor that only money will be left, and these people from the Wild Fire Cult have already earned it. Let's leave with a lot of money and a lot of stuff.
"In this case, let's go to the bank to check and see what clues we can find. Who has the ability and courage to print banknotes privately."
"I don't believe in this kind of deceptive trick of making money with money. You only have a few taels of silver in your life. If you have the guts, you can double my one hundred taels of gold."
Qingya and the two were about to leave when they suddenly heard such arrogant words. They couldn't help but wonder which family's culprit was so simple that he just rushed to give money to others.
Following the voice that sounded rich, I saw the man beside the tripod. He was twenty-eight years old and in his prime. The flying clouds on the temples reflect the light, and the red clothes are decorated with white feathers. She is half pretty and half handsome, and she looks like Mulan wearing red makeup. This bend of spring water is surrounded by green grass, and the reason is that it is the shadow of the startling tiger.
After saying that, the boy following behind the girl opened the baggage in his hand and poured the heavy gold neatly into the cauldron.
After a while, she looked at the thick stack of one hundred taels of silver notes in her hand, her eyebrows furrowed, and her little head filled with doubts.
Qingya, who was not far away, couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene, thinking: "Master said that all the beautiful women in the world can cheat, but this girl definitely can't cheat me. Since they can print heavy-numbered banknotes, , even if you take out ten thousand taels of gold, it’s just a few pieces of paper to them.”
"You're still laughing after someone was defrauded of money. You're heartless. I'll go talk to that girl." Hua Qing'er glanced at Qing Ya who was giggling in disgust, turned around and walked towards the girl, Qing Ya had no choice but to Followed.
As the girl left, she was thinking hard about all the clues just now, hoping to find a trick to expose them. She even forgot to hold the horse, but Qing Ya, who caught up behind her, took it.
"Girl, please stay."
When she heard someone calling her, she raised her head and saw the girl in front of her standing in front of her like a jumping elf. Although she was also a woman, she couldn't help but be deeply attracted by the person in front of her.
"This sister, are you calling me?" It was like the sound of spring water and the stream flowing out of a deep stream.
"That's right, I just caught a glimpse of the girl's clothes in the distance. I couldn't help but feel happy. I came here to ask the girl where such exquisite clothes were made." Hua Qing'er didn't talk about the banknotes straight to the point. , but start the conversation with the topic that the girl is most interested in.
"I brought this back from Chang'an."
"Sister, your hairpin is so beautiful."
…
It didn't take long for the two girls who met for the first time to become close friends, walking hand in hand and talking and laughing. Only Qingya was left alone to follow him. Oh, by the way, he was still holding the girl's horse.
Alas, I also want to hold Sister Qing'er's hand.
"My name is Xia Ci, a native of Qiantang. Where are you, sister?"
When he heard her name, in this early summer season, Qingya suddenly felt a sense of coolness. The ice cubes and plums in the white porcelain bowl collided with each other in the water. Qingya even felt a little tongue-tied, even though it was such a good way to describe a girl. The feeling is a little subtle.
"My name is Hua Qing'er, and the one in the back is my younger brother Qingya. He is also from Qiantang, but he lives out of town now."
"Sister, are you here to make money too? It seems like a scam. I will expose them when I go back and think about it."
"Actually, this is not a deceptive trick. After all, the banknotes they gave are indeed not fake. Then we will go to the bank again. If these banknotes can really be exchanged for cash, we cannot say that they are fake. .”
"Sister, why are you speaking for them? Do you really believe their lies?" Xia Ci grabbed Hua Qing'er's hand, looking a little nervous.
"Of course not. Let me ask you, what is the difference between this bank note and silver?"
"What's the difference? Aren't they all used for payment? If so, banknotes should be more convenient." Xia Ci's eyes seemed to be attracted by the topic, and her eyes were full of curiosity.
"Actually, gold and silver are real money, and silver notes are just substitutes issued by the court. They are essentially just a piece of paper with no value.
Look at the numbers on the banknotes in your hands. Many of them are exactly the same. Those are the banknotes with the same number printed by them. Now they are so wantonly collecting cash and issuing banknotes. When there is no money to exchange in the bank in the future, the banknotes in the hands of the people will become pieces of paper, and they will not be able to afford even a bag of rice. "Hua Qingyi patiently explained to Xia Ci.
"This is unreasonable. It's damning to peel off the cocoon and secretly plot the plan." Xia Ci couldn't help but clenched her little fists.
"But where did they get the ability to make the unique silver bill printing plate exactly the same, or are they colluding with the imperial court?" Qing Ya, who was holding the horse in the back, interrupted.
"No matter who is behind him or what his background is, even if the King of Heaven comes and does something harmful to the world, I will not let him go. Qingya, are you afraid?"
Hua Qing'er's lofty ideals displayed at this moment made Xia Ci beside her stunned.
"Afraid? If I'm afraid, I won't have the face to wield a sword, and I won't have the face to meet all the teachers. If someone stirs up trouble in Qiantang, I'll level it with my sword."
Let's go back to the county town, go to a bank, and learn about cults.
