[Comprehensive] Ask the wine fairy

This question was asked without a clue, and even Dong Xiangyan slapped his mouth, and simply changed the subject.

"Judging from the lack of response for a long time, this assassination should be over, but why? Why don't they want to kill me as soon as you show up?"

Since the old lady appeared just now, Arrow Rain, who didn't mind silencing them, proved that this group of people were ruthless. Although the old lady proved to be with them later, since this possibility exists, it cannot be ignored.

So now there are two guesses.

One is that the opponent is afraid of Baiyun City's strength, and the other is Ye Gucheng himself.

Selfishly thinking about it, Dong Xiangyan suspected it was the latter.

Ye Gucheng shook his head when he heard the words, indicating that he was not clear.

Dong Xiangyan curled his lips, and looked at the sword in Ye Gucheng's hand. Since "it returned to its original owner", he didn't worry about handing over the old woman to Ye Gucheng, while he ran to the place just now, knocking and smashing Several secret letters were dug up.

After he watched it from the beginning to the end, his eyebrows became more and more raised, and finally he almost burst into laughter.

"why are you laughing?"

Ye Gucheng, who walked into this dirty place nonchalantly, said softly, although the others left, but the old woman did not dare to move, obviously no one deliberately guarded her.

Dong Xiangyan shook the paper in his hand, and said with a half smile: "Because it's very interesting..." Then he quickly realized that this Ye Gucheng was not that Ye Gucheng and quickly straightened his expression.

To be honest, Dong Xiangyan felt that he was so twisted in front of Ye Gucheng that he might as well not meet in the future!

Thinking of this, he was also annoyed at his previous behavior of deliberately provoking Ye Gucheng.

It's better not to see each other than to see each other, which is the state of the two of them.

Ye Gucheng seemed to be unaware of his inner voice, and asked indifferently when he heard the words: "What makes you feel interesting?"

Dong Xiangyan pretended to be nonchalant and stood up with a smile, "That's a lot, such as drinking, eating delicious food, and encountering conscious things..."

Ye Gucheng interrupted abruptly: "Walk with me, can you find it interesting?"

Dong Xiangyan's voice stopped in shock, and he looked at him inexplicably.

The ruins of the burnt mansion, the deserted streets and alleys, the dilapidated place where no one passes by and no one will come, yet there are two most noble people in the world quietly looking at each other.

After a while, Dong Xiangyan turned her head uncomfortably, and said awkwardly, "It depends on what you and I will do?"

Ye Gucheng lowered his eyes calmly.

"Let's solve this case together, can't we?"

Dong Xiangyan was even more coy, looking at the sky and said dryly: "It's not impossible..."

Ye Gucheng: "Then let's go."

"Where are you going?" Dong Xiangyan asked hurriedly after being taken aback.

Ye Gucheng glanced at the hand letter that Dong Xiangyan had completely forgotten to put away, those few lines could not escape City Lord Baiyun's eyesight.

"Go to a place where you can investigate the direction of the banks in the capital."

There are more than 30 banks in Qinglong Lane, and the money turnover of the entire Chang'an City depends on these bank accounts helping each other and taking risks with each other. In this way, the scale is getting bigger and bigger, so that it has become the leader in the eight major alleys in the capital. , before the name is crowned with the title of the leader of Qinglong.

As long as people live in Chang'an City, no one knows that people from Qinglong Lane are either rich or expensive, and even the streets on both sides are also rare bustling markets, making money every day!

Ye Gucheng and Dong Xiangyan came together, and it was the Fang Zi Bank that had some relationship with Baiyun City.

Taking the round sky as a metaphor, it is also a metaphor for the squareness of the bank note. A square flag was specially hung in front of the door of this bank, with two square characters on the front and back written in large characters on the lacquered surface, which can be said to have achieved the ultimate in publicity.

Therefore, when Dong Xiangyan came, he couldn't help looking at the flag curiously, and then walked in behind Ye Gucheng.

As soon as you enter the door, the bustling counter is almost full of people coming in as soon as someone leaves, but the shopkeeper does a good job in terms of crowding. Some big-spending customers are taken to the second floor, and there is also a special tea room on the first floor for people. Waiting to rest, so although the hall is lively, it is not crowded.

Dong Xiangyan was taken to the second floor by Ye Gucheng, but he didn't expect that there was a third floor. After being slightly surprised, he walked in openly.

The third floor is much smaller than the second floor. It seems that the craftsmen deliberately used subtle means to make the building appear to have only two floors, so as to hide this room.

Generally, most of the things that are deliberately concealed are of great importance, and Dong Xiangyan's expression can't help but become dignified.

Ye Gucheng was different from him, he sat down generously, someone poured water and made tea, after a while, an old man with a beard walked in from the door.

The square pattern clothes on the old man proves that he is the shopkeeper of this bank, even in the face of Ye Gucheng, he is neither humble nor overbearing, with a loving smile on his face.

Dong Xiangyan sat down cautiously in his greeting, looked at him curiously, and glanced at Ye Gucheng.

After the other party noticed it, he couldn't help explaining with a smile: "I was originally a slave of the Ye family, but because of the meritorious service of my ancestors, I was released by the Ye family to do ordinary work. There are also a few people in the family who are not slaves, but are willing to stay in Baiyun. The city serves the castellan's family, and my elder brother is still in charge of the castellan's mansion."

"Uncle Fang," Ye Gucheng said coldly, "I'm here to ask about the Bliss Building."

The expression of the shopkeeper who was called Uncle Fang changed, and his tone became much lower.

"The Bliss Building is really a disaster. Since the fake bank notes appeared, the nearby banks have lost a lot, but fortunately, the government immediately intervened in the investigation after they found out, so that the losses were still under control."

Dong Xiangyan said sternly after hearing the words: "Is the power of the Bliss Building so powerful? Before the government intervenes, you are all helpless?"

Uncle Fang smiled wryly and said, "My lord, you don't know that a bank's reputation is all about reputation, and no one dares to tell if they receive a fake bank note. Otherwise, who would dare to come to you to deposit money?"

Dong Xiangyan: "That's why I want to say, you really don't notice anything?"

Uncle Fang was speechless when asked, subconsciously glanced at Ye Gucheng.

Ye Gucheng nodded slightly.

Uncle Fang gritted his teeth, and said bitterly: "How could we not find out, but the first ones who took the lead in selling fake bank notes were the local snakes in the capital, the snake king and the red shoes! What we are most afraid of when we are doing money business is being targeted by these people. At that time, not only will the business fail, but people will lose their jobs.”

"It's true that people from the rivers and lakes are cheaper than you," Dong Xiangyan said understandingly: "Heroes use martial arts to break the law, not to mention that they are not considered heroes, they just enrich their own people by doing the business of collecting head money."

Uncle Fang said with emotion: "Young Master, it's good that you know. We have no choice but to make this matter clear. At that time, I will not be the one who is in trouble. The most fearful thing is that I will hurt the whole family."

Dong Xiangyan nodded: "By the way, I want to ask you one more thing."

Uncle Fang wondered: "What's the matter? Since you are the city lord's friend, I must know everything."

"Hehe, it's not a big deal," Dong Xiangyan said with a smile, "I just want to ask if Jin Jiuling has ever come to your place to save money."

Uncle Fang nodded after reminiscing, "Yes, I have been here before. That time he took 2 taels of silver notes and deposited them in. I asked him, and he said that he had done a big business. You know that Jin Jiuling is good at grooming horses, As for calligraphy and painting, there are many rich and noble people in Chang'an who ask him to identify authentic antiques, maybe someone is really generous, so I didn't ask any more questions. What's wrong? Could it be that something happened to the gold catcher?"

Dong Xiangyan shook his head: "That's right, he has been missing for five days."

"That's not right," Uncle Fang said strangely, "The shopkeeper of the Fugui Bank next door told me the day before yesterday that the Jin police went to them to take away 2000 taels. Is there some misunderstanding?"

"..."

Dong Xiangyan paused, and slowly smiled.

"You are right, there may be a misunderstanding here."

After leaving the Fang Zi Bank, Dong Xiangyan went to the Fugui Bank next door, and asked about Jin Jiuling's whereabouts from the shopkeeper. This time, the two went straight to Jin Jiuling's possible hiding place.

If nothing else, it was the same room where Jiang Chongwei's childhood sweetheart died.

When Dong Xiangyan and the others arrived, the door of this dead wooden house was wide open, and from this position one could just see a person sitting inside.

The man was dressed in white and had black hair. The wheelchair was pushed by his hands, and some fine gravel on the ground was rolled over. He turned to the east and said to Yan and Ye Gucheng: "You two came here for the case of the embroidered robber. ?”

Dong Xiangyan said: "No, I was investigating the case of counterfeit bank notes and I came here."

Ruthlessly raised his slender brows, his face was dignified and graceful like that of a son of aristocratic family.

"How?"

Dong Xiangyan said: "The embroidered thief first stole 80 taels of dart silver before going to the palace to commit crimes, but so far no one has thought about what he should do with the 80 taels of gold."

Ruthlessly let out a breath.

"The best way is to exchange it for a bank note that is easy to carry."

Dong Xiangyan: "But with such a large number, he must find a place to put it away, and then take out a part of it, and exchange it without attracting attention at all."

Ruthless: "So you went to Qinglong Lane?"

Dong Xiangyan: "I also asked the shopkeeper about the recent circulation of silver coins."

Ruthlessly said: "What did you find?"

Dong Xiangyan: "Recently, more money has been sold than in previous years. There are three forces. One is the Snake King, the other is the woman in the red shoes, and the third is a person."

Ruthless: "Who is that person?"

Dong Xiangyan: "Jin Jiuling!"

"Squeak--!"

As if to show the shock in the hearts of the spectators, the open door was suddenly shut by the wind.

This is really a quiet small garden, not only is there nothing, but a well with no buckets for water is placed beside it.

Wuqing said coldly: "Even if you have a special status, you must not slander the court officials."

Dong Xiangyan said without changing his face: "If I say this is not slander?"

Ruthless said decisively: "Evidence!"

Dong Xiangyan smiled: "I know where the 80 taels of dart silver were stolen."

As soon as these words come out, no matter whether you believe it or not, you must choose to believe him for the whereabouts of 80 taels of gold!
