Chapter 233: The Gaomi Princess whose heart is about to jump
Princess Gaomi wants to run away.
But the middle-aged shopkeeper is here.
As a weak woman, it would be difficult for her to escape by force.
"Sister, it will take a long time to check the money. Let's talk about other things."
The middle-aged shopkeeper smiled evilly and walked to Princess Gaomi.
I reach out and want to hold Princess Gaomi’s little hand.
"I, I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."
"Just check the money and notify my people."
Princess Gaomi quickly stood up and made excuses to leave.
She is so panicked now that she can no longer let the middle-aged shopkeeper take advantage of her.
"Wait!"
The middle-aged shopkeeper's expression suddenly changed and he shouted at Princess Gaomi.
"What to do?"
Princess Gaomi forced herself to calm down and looked back at the middle-aged shopkeeper with a stern face.
"My sister comes to my place to exchange copper coins over and over again, asking me to help you over and over again, but you get nothing in return?"
The middle-aged shopkeeper said with a stern face.
Time and time again, he lost all patience.
If he can't get any more benefits from Princess Gaomi today, he will never help Princess Gaomi again.
"Help me?"
"If I exchange copper coins normally, does it make any difference who I call you?"
"I'm seriously exchanging your banknotes for copper coins. What's wrong with me and why do I need your special care?"
Princess Gaomi snorted coldly.
She just wants to leave now, she just wants to get out of here.
I probably won’t have any interactions with the middle-aged shopkeeper in the future.
Therefore, I don’t care about my relationship with him, I will just break up with him.
"You..."
The middle-aged shopkeeper's face turned ugly.
But he had to admit that he didn't give him any special care.
It's just faster in terms of time, not as careful as others.
"Farewell!"
Princess Gaomi snorted coldly, turned around and left.
But just as he was about to walk out of the door of the single room, he saw someone walking in from the outside.
When the middle-aged shopkeeper saw the visitor, his expression changed drastically and he quickly saluted him.
"It turns out to be Princess Gaomi. I wonder who has exchanged my family's copper coins many times."
Cui Runyu looked at Princess Gaomi up and down and said with a half-smile.
He happened to pass by and asked about the situation at the bank, and learned that Princess Gaomi was exchanging copper coins.
After asking around for a while, I learned that Princess Gaomi had come to the bank to exchange copper coins several times, all of which were 20,000 yuan, which was quite a large amount, so I came over to take a look.
When the middle-aged shopkeeper heard that Princess Gaomi was actually a princess, he was so frightened that his mouth opened wide and he looked at Princess Gaomi with disbelief.
He suddenly thought that the bank had recently exchanged so many banknotes, but not many copper coins had returned. Was it because of Princess Gaomi's exchange?
"Clan Chief Cui, can it be that the banknotes of the Five Surnames and Qiwang can be exchanged out, but they cannot be exchanged back?"
Princess Gaomi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
She understood that she could only stay calm at this time.
Only by being calm can Cui Runyu not doubt her and have the chance to let her go.
As long as she leaves here, the problem will not be traced to her.
"That's definitely not the case."
"We, the Five Surnames and Qiwangs, open our doors to do business, and what we pay attention to is integrity."
Cui Runyu stroked his white beard and sat in a seat.
"Since it's not the case, then I'll resign first."
Princess Gaomi is ready to leave again.
However, they were blocked by Cui Runyu's people.
"Princess, why should we leave in such a hurry?"
"It's not too late to leave after your banknotes are verified to be genuine."
Cui Runyu looked at Princess Gaomi.
From the information revealed by other shopkeepers just now, we know that Princess Gaomi has come four times in total including this time.
And each time it was 20,000 banknotes, which totaled 80,000 banknotes. If exchanged for copper coins, it would be 80 copper coins.
Not too much, but definitely not a lot.
"Just give it to my servant."
Princess Gaomi forced herself to leave.
You have to break through the two Cui guards blocking the way.
Cui's guards did not dare to harm Princess Gaomi, but directly blocked the way out.
"Is there something fishy about Princess Gaomi?"
Cui Runyu looked deeply at Princess Gaomi.
He felt that Princess Gaomi was related to the strange things that happened recently at the bank.
"What's wrong with this princess?"
"What do you mean, Patriarch Cui, to block my way?"
Princess Gaomi pushed the two guards who were blocking the way.
But it's a pity that she, a weak woman, cannot push them away.
In the end, I could only look at Cui Runyu angrily, with a ferocious look in his eyes.
"Something happened in the bank recently. I'm just leaving the princess to cooperate with the investigation."
"Would the princess not cooperate with this little thing?"
Cui Runyu is even more suspicious of Princess Gaomi.
If she wasn't Princess Gaomi, why would she be leaving in such a hurry?
"That's none of my business."
"This princess wants to leave, let me leave!"
Princess Gaomi was even more panicked.
She felt that if she couldn't escape, she would be discovered by Cui Runyu.
If the Five Surnames and Qiwang really find out that they exchanged counterfeit coins for their money, not even the emperor can save him.
Regret, regret that she didn’t listen to Fang Yuan’s reminder. Fang Yuan had clearly reminded her several times not to take the risk of redeeming it by herself.
Now comes the dilemma.
"It's okay to let the princess leave. The princess just needs to answer a few questions for me."
Cui Runyu pondered for a moment and asked.
"You said."
Princess Gaomi held back her composure and spoke.
"Where did the princess get so many banknotes?"
Cui Runyu said in a deep voice.
He thought of the key point, that is, where did Princess Gaomi get so many banknotes to exchange for copper coins?
Normally, Princess Gaomi is a member of the royal family, so if she wants to use banknotes, she has to use Tang Dynasty banknotes. There is no reason to use their five surnames and seven Wang banknotes.
"I, what's the problem with having so many banknotes in my business?"
Princess Gaomi was even more panicked.
Beads of sweat secrete involuntarily on the forehead.
The longer time went by, the more worried she became that the banknotes would be found to be fake.
"As far as I know, princess, you don't have much business."
"And... shouldn't the princess's business support Datang Baochao?"
Cui Runyu's eyes were sharper.
He stood up and looked at Princess Gaomi with careful eyes.
In the eyes of Wu Xing Qi Wang, ordinary members of the royal family are not worthy of their respect.
There are only two people they will give face to: the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor.
"I, I, I..."
Princess Gaomi was speechless.
She was even more frightened, afraid of being discovered by Cui Runyu.
Cui Runyu's eyes are so terrifying, staring at her makes people unable to express panic.
Moreover, Princess Gaomi does not have much business, and her business is also supporting Datang Baochao.
As long as the other party checks it, they can know whether what they said is true or false.
It’s about to be exposed.
The beads of sweat on Princess Gaomi's forehead became even bigger.
The middle-aged shopkeeper on the side also became flustered.
He also guessed what happened and was very scared.
If Princess Gaomi really makes counterfeit coins, then if you help her exchange it yourself, the consequences will be very serious.
"Say!"
"Are you making counterfeit coins to exchange them for copper coins?"
Cui Runyu walked up to Princess Gaomi and shouted loudly.
Princess Gaomi jumped up in fright, her eyes became even more panicked, and she was about to blow herself up.
However, at this moment, two bank staff came over carrying copper coins.
"Clan leader, shopkeeper, the exchange of 20,000 banknotes has been completed."
The bank staff put the twenty coins on the coffee table and said respectfully.
"Have the banknotes... been verified in all three ways?"
Cui Runyu was stunned and asked.
Princess Gaomi even blinked, unable to believe what she saw.
He almost revealed the truth and went out, and then the money exchanger came back?
After hearing Cui Runyu's question, Princess Gaomi looked nervously at the person who sent the money.
Similarly, the middle-aged shopkeeper stared at them with his heart jumping into his throat.
"I have checked all three methods and it is real money."
The bank staff said respectfully.
"Let's have an afternoon."
Cui Runyu frowned and waved her hands.
It doesn't make sense. If it was real money, Princess Gaomi had no reason to be so nervous just now.
Before the person who sent the money just came, the other party almost couldn't help but burst out.
Now...
"Clan Chief Cui, are you satisfied now?"
Princess Gaomi breathed a sigh of relief and said coldly.
"Sorry, it was my mistake. Please forgive me, princess."
Cui Runyu was still confused, but she could only apologize.
"The patriarch of the Bolingcui clan is really amazing, I can see it today."
"All kinds of suspicions, all kinds of threats, and restrictions on my princess' personal freedom. In the end, I only have an apology."
Princess Gaomi said with a strong sense of ridicule.
She sat down directly, leaned on the stool, crossed her legs, and looked at Cui Runyu with contempt.
"What does the princess want?"
Cui Runyu frowned again and said in a deep voice.
"How dare a little girl do anything like this."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to see the sun tomorrow if I raise a few opinions."
Princess Gaomi snorted coldly and continued to mock.
"The princess is a member of the royal family, how dare I."
Cui Runyu frowned deeper.
Although he feels sorry, he will not be too groveling.
If the woman in front of him was not a princess, he would have kicked her out by now.
"Listen, ordinary people don't know when they will die in front of the Bolingcui clan leader."
"I can't afford to offend you. I really can't afford to offend you. I always want to kill someone. I will never come to this bullshit bank like you again. I can't afford to play with you."
Princess Gaomi stood up and said in a strange tone.
She said as she walked, and soon walked out of the single room, calling her people to come over and withdraw money.
Cui Runyu looked at Princess Gaomi leaving with disgust in her eyes.
Just when I thought things were going to be over, Princess Gaomi's voice sounded outside again.
"That's good, that's good. Qiwang's banker with the fifth surname can't afford it."
"I exchanged 20,000 of their banknotes for copper coins, but I almost couldn't get out."
"It's only 20,000 banknotes. They checked it for a whole hour without saying anything. They also suspected that my money was counterfeit and said they would prevent me from seeing the sun tomorrow."
"If I hadn't revealed that I was Princess Gaomi, I wouldn't have been able to leave the bank today. Everyone, please be careful when exchanging money. Be careful."
Princess Gaomi shouted at the door of the bank like a shrew.
The bank staff immediately wanted to drive her away, but after hearing her say that she was the princess of Gaomi, they did not dare to step forward.
The people who were queuing up to change money began to talk about it, discussing whether what Princess Gaomi said was true or false, and also wanted to see how the bank would deal with it.
"Hmph, how could the royal family have such a shrew?"
Cui Runyu heard Princess Gaomi making trouble in the private room.
He did not immediately go out to stop it, nor did he ask anyone to go out and stop it.
The other party told half truths and half lies, and she was also a dishonest woman.
You can wait for the other party to leave and then spread the information to the outside world, saying that it is a dirty trick of the royal family to occupy the market.
Princess Gaomi was still cursing, so much so that her throat was almost smoking.
After seeing that no one paid attention to her, she felt bored and left with everyone.
She is very curious now and wants to verify one thing: why the counterfeit currency has not been discovered?
And the only one who knows about this is Fang Yuan!
For more than a month, she traded with different people every day, but she couldn't contact them, so she could only ask Fang Yuan for verification.
Therefore, after Princess Gaomi had the money sent back to the Prince Consort's Mansion, she went to Chang'an County Government.
As the Gaomi Princess, she quickly met Fang Yuan.
"Fang Yuan, how did you..."
Princess Gaomi is eager to know the reason.
"Princess!"
Fang Yuan interrupted Princess Gaomi.
He didn't know why Princess Gaomi came.
But just guessing, what other reason could the other party come here for besides counterfeit money?
What a stupid woman. This is the Chang'an County Government, where everyone is a mixed bag, and everyone is there, and many of them are not his people.
If you say something casually here, the whole Chang'an City may know about it the next day. Why is she so stupid to say such things here?
"Ah?"
Princess Gaomi was interrupted and a little puzzled.
"What does the princess want to do with me?"
"Is it a civil dispute or something else?"
Fang Yuan stood up, walked towards Princess Gaomi, and winked at her.
"Oh, oh, it's a civil dispute."
"My princess went to Qiwang Bank of the Five Surnames to exchange copper coins. They imprisoned my freedom and threatened me. I want to seek justice."
Princess Gaomi finally understood what Fang Yuan meant.
What a cautious man, he is also so cautious in his territory.
Thanks to his caution, nothing happened to him this time.
I just don’t know how he did it. Did he improve the anti-counterfeiting technology of banknotes?
"Is there any evidence?"
Fang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Although this woman is stupid, she is not so stupid that there is no cure.
But she was really stupid. I reminded her many times not to redeem it in person, but she just didn't listen.
This time, if Juzi and others had not used their materials to develop waterproof properties, Princess Gaomi would have been in danger.
"Yes, I am a witness, and a shopkeeper of the bank is also a witness."
"As for the physical evidence...it's the twenty copper coins I exchanged."
Princess Gaomi said loudly.
At the end, I feel a little embarrassed.
Because she remembered that Fang Yuan asked her to exchange small amounts every time.
Twenty thousand is a large amount, but she not only exchanged it for a large amount, but also went there many times.
"I know."
"Zheng Mingzhu, you are responsible for seeking justice for Princess Gaomi."
"You can just ask Princess Gaomi why."
Fang Yuan was a little speechless again.
This woman is really not afraid of death.
She dared to redeem such a large amount of 20,000 yuan.
I guess it’s not just once, it’s really not ordinary luck.
Then Fang Yuan called Zheng Mingzhu and asked him to do whatever he wanted.
"Yes, I obey!"
Zheng Mingzhu walked out of the side room.
He didn't know what happened.
But when I found out that the person asking for help was a princess, I was very excited.
If you do well in public affairs, your future will be endless.
"I..."
Princess Gaomi also wants to know how Fang Yuan did it.
I even want to thank Fang Yuan.
"Go princess."
Fang Yuan waved his hand, not wanting to say more to her, at least not wanting to meet her at the county government office.
Princess Gao Ming pursed her lips and was reluctant to leave.
Fang Yuan sat back down, secretly thinking whether he should speed up the exchange of copper coins for Five Surnames and Qi Wang.
Now that they have discovered clues, they believe they will soon know about the counterfeit money.
If you don't take advantage of them and make another profit before they discover it, you may not have the chance in the future.
When I was thinking about what to do, the gatekeeper walked in.
"Fang Ling, a princess asked you to go to the fifth floor of Yipinxiang when you were young."
