Better to live forever [Rebirth]

Bad silver reappears.

Zhu Dingbei paused, stepped forward to look at the opened box, not only silver ingots and gold bricks, but also broken silver of different weights.Picking up a silver ingot, he didn't see the difference between inferior silver and real silver, as he had seen before.

The treasurer of the bank continued: "After the fire, my subordinates found something different when they counted the silver. Although the silver was burnt, the color was now snowflake silver, but the temperature had not faded. The subordinate asked someone to break it open. It turned out that there were stone powder and silver inside. Copper. To be safe, my subordinates also smashed the gold bars, and found that not only the silver, but also the gold was bad."

The silver is very easy to be heated, but it also dissipates heat quickly. After working for more than an hour before and after the fire, the silver did not dissipate heat, which is why the shopkeeper discovered the problem.

It's just that I didn't expect that this time it was not only bad silver, but also fake gold made by those people.

The imperial treasury, the Ning family bank.

These two extremely well-guarded places have been patronized by people, and those people are really arrogant.Besides, this batch of silver was not exchanged by someone taking advantage of the chaos during the fire, but before that, when the Ning family didn't realize it, it was exchanged for bad silver and bad gold.

I don't know when, I don't know who.

Ning Heng and several shopkeepers agreed to deal with it, and then returned to the house with Zhu Dingbei.

Zhu Dingbei said: "I originally suspected that this sky fire was done by a bad person, but now it seems that this sky fire disrupted the other party's plan."

If it wasn't for this fire, I don't know when people in the bank will find out that the gold and silver have been stolen and exchanged. At that time, how much gold and silver will be transferred from the bank to the market, and things will become very difficult.Of course, it is also troublesome to deal with now. The bad silver that has been exposed to the market must be dealt with, otherwise it will not be easy to withdraw the silver after several hands.

Ning Heng nodded, then pulled him to sit down and said: "I will inform His Majesty about this, and ask for orders to use this as an opportunity to uncover the reappearance of inferior silver and fake gold."

When the treasury silver was stolen, it was at a time when Dajing was in trouble in the north and south, and the people's hearts were in turmoil. The matter was suppressed by the emperor due to various concerns.At this time, it is time to uncover the existence of inferior silver and fake gold, so that people and merchants can be vigilant, so as to stop the circulation of inferior silver and fake gold in the market from the source.

Zhu Dingbei agreed: "It's not too late. The reputation of Ningjia Yinzhuang is very good. It can make people take gold and silver for inspection. It's always reassuring." Who did the tailor shop have an enmity with?"

At that time, his first suspicion was that the sky fire was caused by people who stole money, but he also made other assumptions. If the Wang family had a feud with others and caused this disaster, it is not impossible.

After all, the opponent's method was very straightforward, and the timing of the selection was also very good-the businessman surnamed Wang, who was no longer resident in the clothing store, and his only two sons were both in the store that day.

Moreover, he asked shopkeeper Ning afterward that the head of the clothing store, Wang, was not a wealthy man, he did not have a deep background, and his fortune was only more than ten years ago.

But looking at the location of his ready-to-wear store—right in the middle of the street, facing the viewing lake—you can tell that the martyred king has a lot of tricks in front of him.Even the Ning family's shop didn't occupy such an advantageous location. There are still many merchants in the east of the city with the support of government officials and dignitaries behind them. After all these years, it is really eye-catching.

Now that the first suspicion was eliminated, Zhu Dingbei amplified the possibility of this guess.

"His family history is very clean, but after all, he is a foreigner who only moved to Qingcang City more than [-] years ago. His past cannot be taken seriously."

In this short half-day effort, the Ning family collected a lot of information.This king's family not only has good business skills, but also has a benevolent heart. He is willing to do good things in Nanhai County and has a good reputation.

Different from what Zhu Dingbei thought, although Ning Heng also thought that it was the person behind the screen or someone else who set fire to the Ning family, but after walking through the Ning family shop, he concluded that it was It doesn't have much to do with these people, but it seems like a personal enmity.

After all, although the property loss of the Ning family shop was huge, it was not worth mentioning to the Ning family. As long as there were no casualties, it would not be a big deal.Besides, in the whole street, apart from the shopkeeper Chen of the Four Treasures Shop of the Study who went back to rescue the calligraphy and paintings, or some people who were reluctant to risk money and silk to fight against the fire, there were no other casualties in the east of the city.The only ones who died—or, in the arsonist project, were the ones in the tailor shop.

After this investigation, Ning Heng did not take this result seriously.

The more glamorous Wang Dangjia is, the more certain Ning Heng is that the fire is the injustice he suffered in the first half of his life.

Zhu Dingbei rubbed the center of his brows, and was about to say something when Ning Heng asked nervously, "What's the matter, but a headache? Are you feeling stuffy?"

Zhu Dingbei put down his hand and chuckled lightly.

"It's okay to say."

It's just a few puffs of poisonous smoke, after taking the medicine and checking the pulse, how can it be so precious?However, he always knew that Ning Heng attached great importance to his body and could not tolerate any damage, more than himself, so he didn't feel bored at all, but felt ironed in his heart.

Ning Heng touched his face, and couldn't help but said, "Next time, don't be impulsive. It's the same to let others go in and look at it for you."

He couldn't resist Zhu Dingbei, nor would he refuse his request, but there were still some things that he had to persuade.

Zhu Dingbei waved his hand indifferently, and said, "I was just thinking that the people who stole and exchanged the deposits brought you here, and now there is another batch of bad silver, maybe they want to keep you in Guangzhou."

Ning Heng looked at him, and Zhu Dingbei continued: "Even if there was no such accident, I think this batch of inferior silver will definitely show its feet before we set off to return to Beijing. Otherwise, the traces of inferior silver should not have appeared in Ning Heng." On the border of our home, and after you came, the other party also has a counter move waiting. If we hadn't returned from serious injuries at sea, I'm afraid his second move would have been exhausted."

Seeing that he didn't get to the point when he spoke, but instead analyzed these to pave the way for his own conclusion, Ning Heng moved closer and whispered in his ear: "Changsheng wants to say that no matter those people want to overthrow the imperial family or destroy me Dajing Guozuo, they are all planning to get rid of the obstacle of the Ning family first, right?"

Zhu Dingbei raised the corner of his mouth, patted him on the shoulder and said: "The one who knows me is Mo Ruo Aheng."

Ning Heng laughed out loud.

Zhu Dingbei raised his eyebrows and said, "It's best if you are on guard against them."

In fact, he himself was very sure that the other party wanted to get rid of the Ning family's speculation, and vaguely targeted those people who the Li family had hidden in the court.

The purpose of these people's rebellion has never changed, but in the previous life they locked the target in the Zhu family, and after removing the Zhu family, they used it as a stepping stone for them to reach a higher level.But in this life, their wings in the military have been cut off, and they are no longer able to replace the Zhu family, so they changed their target and turned to the Ning family.

Thinking of this, Zhu Dingbei felt bad, so he rubbed his eyebrows irritably just now, but now these negative emotions have faded away.

Thinking about the Li family, he asked one more question: "Have you found anyone from the Li family scattered outside the country?"

In the past few years, Zhu Dingbei has paid great attention to this issue. The grandchildren of the Li family are really well prepared. After escaping from the country, they don't know whether they are hiding behind some deep mountain forest or a powerful force, but they have not revealed their whereabouts at all.Zhu Dingbei thought that this time he would get the same negative answer as before, but Ning Heng nodded and said: "Xiongnu, Qiang, Wusun, Cheshi."

Every time Ning Heng revealed a name, Zhu Dingbei's expression turned ugly, and after counting all the four countries in the Northwest, without Ning Heng's further words, Zhu Dingbei understood: "The battle of Wusun was really done by the remnants of the Li family. "

Ning Heng: "If they weren't too active in the Wusun battle this time, the Ning family might not be able to find these people."

Zhu Dingbei said: "Since there are Li family members in these four countries, do they want to help the Qiang people or the Huns, or are they the masters of each?"

Ning Heng shook his head and said, "Only they know about this matter."

Zhu Dingbei was not at all disappointed when he heard the words, instead he was overjoyed: "Have you captured them?"

Ning Heng laughed, "Since they are unwilling to be alone, I will not let them down."

"Haha." Zhu Dingbei beamed with joy, "If those bastard grandchildren know that I have bribed Lord Changxin, I'm afraid I would like to go back to my mother's womb to hide!"

This is the first-class happy event, which made Zhu Dingbei's previously gloomy mood suddenly cheerful.Seeing this, Ning Heng was also relieved, and agreed without even thinking about hearing him say that he would interrogate the other party himself.

Zhu Dingbei had a good night's sleep, and the next day was the time for Dong Minghe and others to land in Guangzhou Mansion.

After handing over the soldier talismans and completing the defense change, Dong Ming and the others were invited to Ning Mansion for dinner without waiting for a breather.

"Welcome banquet? Even invited me?"

Huang Yu was puzzled, and counted his classmates with Dong Minghe in detail. He hadn't contacted them for a long time and didn't know their movements, but there was no one named Ning among them.What's more, it is Guangzhou Ningfu, a giant businessman in Dajing.

Dong Minghe said while changing his clothes: "That's right, there is still Qianhui. The three of us are written in black and white on the invitation."

Seeing Huang Yu frowning in thought, he couldn't help but stepped forward and put him in his arms and gnawed hard on his face. After being slapped on the ear, he said cheerfully: "I've already agreed, so don't think too much about it. Take that fish with us later, if there is a trap waiting for us, he can block it for us."

Huang Yu laughed loudly, "He has a name and a surname, and you insist on calling him that fish, it's outrageous."

"Tch." Dong Minghe didn't like to hear him defend others, especially the dead fish, and said bluntly, "One day I have to roast him!"

After the four of them were brought into the Ning Mansion, Dong Minghe sighed and said, "Seeing is worth seeing once heard a hundred times. The Ning family is really impressive."

Qian Hui thought to himself: It's not just grand, it's no worse than the imperial palace.

Huang Yu: "Do you know who invited us?"

Before he made a joke and called Yu Deng, he hadn't thought that Dong Minghe would have already guessed the identity of the person who invited him.

Dong Minghe pretended to be mysterious: "Wait a while, you will know."

Huang Yu went through the possible candidates in his mind, but when he saw the real person, he couldn't help but open his eyes wide, and before he could say anything, Qian Hui said in surprise: "Young Lord, you are here! "
