"Two adults, please take a seat. My master will be here soon!"
Zhu Gaoying and Su Wu were invited to the other side of the county government office. At this time, the maids had already prepared fine saffron for them.
"Our Pingshou County has high mountains and cold roads. You two adults can drink some saffron first to get rid of the coldness on your body!"
"Huh, Lao Su, have you never drank this? This is the national flower from the Western Plateau, Wu Si Zang!"
Su Wu glanced at Zhu Gaoyan and felt that it was no longer strange. After all, it was normal for people who had read thousands of books to recognize these foreign foods!
But, why can he remember everything he has seen, but what I have seen needs to be repeated many times before I can remember it?
It seems that Your Majesty is truly a genius that is rare to see in a century.
"What this gentleman is saying is absolutely true. This saffron comes from the snow-covered plateau and is grown in an extremely cold environment. It is endowed with the perseverance and enterprising qualities of the local people!"
At this time, a powerful voice outside the door slowly reached the ears of Zhu Gaojing and Su Wu.
"Later, herdsmen picked it and found that it not only has the effect of promoting blood circulation, replenishing qi and dispelling wind, dampness and cold, but also is a rare treasure to keep out the cold for people who live on the plateau all year round!"
"And for us ordinary people, it is an excellent nourishing product!"
A young figure walked through the door frame. I think this person was the magistrate of Pingshou County, Zhang Qixin.
"master!"
When the maid in the room saw Zhang Qixin, she quickly bowed and said hello.
"Lord County Magistrate!"
When Zhu Gaoying saw Zhang Qixin, he also said hello. This made Su Wu who was standing beside him a little uncomfortable. I, a dignified person who can be on an equal footing with the minister, actually wanted to exchange greetings with a small county magistrate?
And even though this guy asked His Majesty to take the initiative to say hello to him, this is a capital offense of great disrespect!
"Haha, Xiaguan is just a small magistrate of Pingshou County, how can he compare with the two of you?"
When Zhu Gaoyang asked the county government officials to report the matter, he specifically stated that they were sent by the Third Division.
However, Su Wu felt that they had no credentials and no tokens, so there was no way the county magistrate would think that they were officials sent by the Third Division.
However, what surprised Su Wu was that after hearing this, the yamen servant at the county yamen gate didn't ask too much, but ran in without hesitation. After making an announcement, they were let in.
What's even more puzzling is that after they waited here for a while, the county magistrate actually showed up and completely believed their identity!
How is this going?
Is it possible that just anyone can cheat on this cliff?
Is there any secret behind this?
Su Wu looked at Zhu Gaoyan again and saw that he looked confident and had the victory in hand.
How come you are confident of winning again? Where does the confidence come from?
Zhu Gaoying looked at the county magistrate in front of him and thought to himself, it seems that the casting of counterfeit coins this time has something to do with the appointment of the county magistrate of Pingshou County!
Although all this is just Zhu Gaoying's speculation without any substantive evidence, it still cannot dispel Zhu Gaoying's suspicion about Zhang Qixin in front of him at this moment.
Whether it was the unusual changes in the waiter at the inn at the beginning, the innkeeper who left in a hurry last night, or the vague feeling of being spied on this morning, it seemed that he had just arrived in Pingshou.
The moment he entered the county, someone had already noticed him.
"Sir Zhang, I don't speak secretly. I am here this time because I have something important to talk to Mr. Zhang!"
Zhu Gaoying's face was serious, and Su Wu couldn't tell what kind of medicine his majesty was selling in the gourd, and he just felt confused.
"Oh, then you and I, let's talk about it while drinking tea!"
Soon, the doors and windows in the house were closed, leaving only Zhang Qixin, Zhu Gaoying and Su Wu.
"Master Zhang, look!"
Zhu Gaoyang took out a Yongle Tongbao and placed it on the table. Zhang Qixin's pupils shrank when he saw the copper coin.
"You two, what does this mean?"
"Haha, it's not interesting. It's just that we discovered that an unknown currency appeared in Pingshou County. It seems to be a copy of my name's Yongle Tongbao!"
Su Wu was startled and quickly exclaimed, Your Majesty would not do this. We are still at their base camp. If they have malicious intentions, they can just shoot a few government officials and kill us two!
I saw Zhang Qixin taking the copper plate from Zhu Gaoying's hand, holding it in front of his eyes and carefully identifying it for a while, then looking at Zhu Gaoying with confusion and confusion.
"Isn't this the Yongle Tongbao printed by my Ming Dynasty? Is there any problem?"
Zhang Qixin pretended to be very confused, because Zhu Gaoyang's straight to the point just now shocked him, so now he has to be cautious. He must first find out the purpose of these two people, otherwise he will never be able to reveal his trump card, or even
When necessary, the hole cards must be discarded.
Of course, Zhang Qixin actually couldn't tell the difference between their imitation Yongle Tongbao and the real Yongle Tongbao.
"Then, Your Excellency, how about using this one for comparison?"
Two Yongle Tongbao were placed in front of Zhang Qixin. He looked left and right, but he couldn't figure out what was going on.
"Well, please forgive me for being stupid, but I really can't see any difference!"
"Please don't make fun of me anymore!"
"Haha, Mr. Zhang was born in the imperial examination. He is not so sensitive to these mundane things. It is my fault!"
Seeing that Zhang Qixin seemed to have a sulky look on his face, Zhu Gaoyan quickly laid a step for him.
"No, no, money is what the people depend on. I can't see it because I have poor eyesight. Please help Zhang solve his doubts!"
Then, Su Wu told Zhu Gaoyan the difference between the two currencies, and at the same time, he also told him that someone might be secretly minting counterfeit coins near Pingshou County!
"It's reasonable to beg. Since some people are so rampant, they dare to mint coins privately in broad daylight!"
Zhang Qixin stood up as he slapped the case, making a fist with his other hand, his face full of resentment, as if he was questioning why there are such crazy people in this world.
"You two, please rest assured. I will send someone to investigate immediately and find out who dares to secretly manufacture counterfeit coins behind the scenes. I, Mr. Zhang, will definitely catch him personally!"
Zhang Qixin looked like he was sworn in with the thieves. Even Su Wu felt that this man was full of righteousness and seemed to have found a like-minded person.
But who would have thought that Zhu Gaoyan suddenly said:
"Haha, Master Zhang, don't be so angry. This kind of treasure is enough to be fake and real. Hasn't Master Zhang thought about the benefits it would bring to himself if he could hold it in his hands?"
"To be honest, Master Sansi attaches great importance to this business, so he sent me here..."
