Chapter 375: The Bad Currency Case (1)

After hearing what his nephew said, Guo Yongning didn't know what to do for a moment.

It turned out that the person who entered the palace was her distant nephew, named Guo Shouye. He was in his twenties and belonged to Guo Fengchao's branch.

During the Later Zhou Dynasty, he was still young, so he stayed in his hometown. In history, Guo Yongning was already dead, so the descendants of the Guo family did not show up in order not to cause trouble.

When Guo Shouye grew up, the Guo family asked him to come to find Guo Yongning. After all, Guo Yongning is also a concubine. If you help the Guo family a little, the Guo family will not be too down.

Due to the friendship between the same clan, Guo Yongning did not refuse and asked Guo Hao to enthrone him a title. Guo Yongning was in charge of the cost of the palace, so he thought about how to make more money.

Last time, Guo Zhiyu was bewitched and sold the exam questions. Guo Hao punished the big warnings and thought the matter was over, but Guo Yongning was always very aggrieved.

Why did Qiunan and Li Fu have power outside the palace, but she didn't? She didn't cultivate power for nothing else, just to make some money.

So someone gave her an idea to mint money privately. She wanted to draw a little bit of each money, but she didn't know that the person who helped her do the work also thought so.

"How much money do we have in our hands now?"

"Three hundred thousand, the rest are sent out."

"Three hundred thousand, I finally saved this little money. Now I'm going to hand it over, it's really a life-threatening death."

Seeing that Guo Yongning was reluctant to leave, Guo Shouye suddenly whispered: "Auntie, why don't we give it to me? They won't find you anyway.

We all agreed to make money together and find solutions if something happens. They also know your identity and can't do anything to you!"

Guo Yongning felt that Guo Shouye said this. Although the court asked the handover of inferior coins, she would not hand over whoever she liked.

At worst, I won’t make any noise during this period. I will wait until the news comes over. Even if Guo Hao finds out, she will say she has been bewitched and find a scapegoat.

After so many years, Guo Yongning is still the same as before. Without Guo Wei's support, his personality is more restrained, but in fact he bullies the weak and is afraid of the strong and has no scheming.

Just like the new Zhou Wei, Guo Yongning wanted to make things difficult for her and withhold her daily expenses, but Qiu Nan reminded her.

"Sister Ning'er, Concubine Xiang has just entered the palace and will definitely be favored by Your Majesty. If you make things difficult for her at this time, will Your Majesty not see it?

Actually, I understand your mood, but who made our husband the emperor? The emperor could not have only one woman, so you have to figure out some things."

Guo Yongning did not make things difficult for Zhou Wei when Qiu Nan reminded him. Zhou Wei was very grateful when she learned about it and was closer to Qiu Nan.

Guo Yongning did not grow up, and the other two women were different. Li Fu was in charge of the Beggars' Sect, and there were ministers such as Ang Lee and Lu Duoxun. Needless to say, Qiu Nan was in charge of the inner guards and had a great power.

It can be seen that career is still very important to women.

There was an undercurrent in the harem. Guo Hao had actually noticed it, but he didn't want to spend too much effort and tried to do it as much as possible. As long as there was no big deal, he could not stop the palace fight anyway.

Unless she takes back the rights of several people and makes them ignore the world, if this happens, they will become cage birds, which will make them more likely to stimulate their rebellious psychology.

Guo Yongning minted money privately. Qiunan and Li Fu both knew about this, but she didn't say it. She wanted Li Fu to talk about it.

...

Bianliang City, Juxianlou Private Room.

"Everyone, you all know what Empress Rong means. If you decide whether to hand over or not, don't blame me for not reminding you. This matter has alarmed Your Majesty. You can think clearly about how to do it!"

Guo Shouye sat in the main seat, with several merchants on both sides. These people have made a fortune in recent years and want to invest in other businesses, but ended up on this pirate ship.

"Little Marquis, we understand that the Empress did this, but if we hand over it all over, the loss will be too great!" said a businessman.

"Hmph, who made you so greedy? You didn't listen. Now you are afraid of losing money!"

"Don't calm down, we don't mean that." Another businessman quickly smoothed out: "Little Marquis, we are not afraid of some losses, but it's not easy for us to make money.

Otherwise, if you see this, we will give all the money to the Empress and avoid this moment. If we can use it in the future and take it back, we will not want it, just get the capital back!"

When the businessman said this, Guo Shouye was a little moved. If this is the case, with Guo Yongning's identity, if he avoids the news, he would have several times the profit.

"You really want to give all the money to the Empress?"

"willing!"

Two businessmen agreed at that time, while the other two were a little hesitant. In fact, they minted money to make money. Now this transaction cannot be done, so they went home to raise the money and re-minded it.

"I'll go back and ask my aunt, if she agrees, I can do this."

...

Ten days passed quickly, but not many people handed in counterfeit coins. Guo Hao learned what they were thinking after learning about it.

"I will send an order to thoroughly investigate all the shops in the capital, find suspicious records and observe them, and find a large number of bad money to be arrested directly!

At the same time, let the Beggars' Sect keep a close eye on it. These unscrupulous merchants, bad money, drive out good money, and this is to make my country destroyed in the Song Dynasty!"

Modern people are not aware of any economic crisis or inflation, so they are not aware of the seriousness of the matter.

When Guo Hao's decree was issued, Kaifeng Prefecture immediately dispatched, and ordinary people did not need to go to their homes. The main target was that those wealthy families, even princes and nobles, would not let go.

The Marquis’ Mansion, Guo Shouye’s mansion, and several yamen runners came to the door and one of them came forward to knock on the door.

The door of Kung Fu was not open, and a man dressed in a servant came out: "Who are you? Don't you know this is the Marquis' Mansion!"

The headed yamen runner was not polite, and took out a document with a seal from Kaifeng Prefecture on it: "Your Majesty has an order to search for bad money in the capital. We are just a routine business. Please ask your brothers to do some convenience and report to the Marquis."

When the man heard this, his expression changed slightly. He was a servant of the Marquis' Mansion, so he naturally knew what his Marquis did. At this time, Guo Shouye collected the money from the merchants and hid them all at home, and had not had time to transfer it!

However, his expression just turned away, and after being nervous, he became arrogant: "Bold, if you search for bad money in the capital, then go to those merchants. Can you come to the Marquis' Mansion at will?

He is the nephew of Concubine Rong, and Concubine Rong is the manager of the harem. If she knew about this, wouldn’t you be afraid that the Empress would blame him?”

The head yamen runner frowned when he heard this. Guo Hao's standard for selecting officials was professional. As the captain of Kaifeng Prefecture, he has made countless cases in recent years and has been promoted to captain based on his performance. The man's expression just now aroused his suspicion, so the Marquis's Mansion is very suspicious.

But Concubine Rong's identity made him afraid. After all, Guo Yongning is not an ordinary person. She is Guo Hao's wife, and her nephew is also Guo Hao's nephew.

"Why should this kind of brother make things difficult for us? We are just routine. All officials in the capital must go through inspection. Your Majesty once said that the prince committed the law and the common people. If the marquis did not do anything wrong, let us go in and see what if!"

The headmaster weighed the pros and cons, but finally decided to do business, but at this moment.

"What if I don't let you in!"

The door opened and Guo Shouye walked out. Several yamen runners hurriedly saluted, and Guo Shouye snorted coldly.

"I've seen the little marquis!"

"Hmph, you are so brave. Do you want to break into the Marquis' Mansion?"

"The officials dare not. The officials have a search warrant from Kaifeng Prefecture. The officials are also in charge of official duties and have no choice but to come to the Marquis' Mansion!"

Knowing that these princes and ministers were difficult to deal with, Kaifeng Prefecture sent all the exquisite people. Guo Shouye looked at the yamen runners and tried hard to keep himself from showing his timidity.

"Since I don't dare, why are you still standing here? Let me tell you sir, Kaifeng Mansion is not theirs!"

"this……"

The captain was a little embarrassed, but he really didn't dare to offend Guo Shouye. Just when he didn't know what to do, a voice sounded.

"Isn't it just going in and take a look? Cousin, what are you afraid of? It's not easy for them. Cousin, why bother to make things difficult for them!"

Hearing this voice, Guo Shouye was stunned. The yamen runners looked back and quickly saluted: "I have seen the second prince!"

The person coming was Guo Zhishun. He got off the carriage, nodded at the yamen runners with a smile, walked to Guo Shouye and said, "I just came back from my grandfather and happened to pass by here.
