Yu An asked Yu San to take out a small dark red box from the warehouse. After opening it, there was a box full of copper coins, which were hung with threads.
Ying Chu took out his usual copper coins and observed them carefully. The characters on the coins were natural, the handwriting was clear, and there was nothing wrong. He got closer and smelled it, and there was a smell of new copper.
"This should be the newly minted copper coin this year." Ying Chu weighed it and said, "There is nothing wrong with the other coins. An An, did you find anything?"
Yu An put a whole box of copper coins into Yingchu's arms, "Mr. Master, please weigh it again."
Ying Chu followed Yu An's wishes and tried it, but he still didn't find anything unusual. He didn't have many opportunities to touch money, so it was natural that he couldn't weigh it out.
"Is it too light?" There should be a first-time blind guess.
Yu An nodded and then explained the matter slowly, "After we finish the business with the Hu people, we will use the banknotes after the transaction to exchange some money at the bank and pay wages to the people in the showroom and shop."
"Zhou Hongzhu was in the store that day, and Yu San just happened to withdraw the money. Zhou Hongzhu helped me pay the wages to the workers. As a result, he noticed something was wrong as soon as he took a few coins, pulled me to the back of the store, and said This matter."
At that time, Zhou Hongzhu was afraid that Yu An would not believe it, so he took out all his private money to compare with this box of copper coins. Yu An started to compare and found that the copper coins taken out from the bank this time were indeed much lighter.
If it were just one or two copper coins, they would definitely not be able to notice the difference between the two. But for the convenience of the workers, he always picked up copper coins from the bank, so the quantity was larger.
Moreover, Zhou Hongzhu had been staying in Nanning before. As soon as he came into contact with the money in the capital, he could feel the difference instantly.
"Yu An, do you think we should report this to the official? I think it's the boss of the bank who dared to use it to deceive you. We can't let it go." Zhou Hongzhu simply thought that Yu An was deceived. I want to report to the official to seek justice for him.
Yu An grabbed Zhou Hongzhu, who was walking out in a hurry. He felt that this matter was not simple. He glanced at the copper coins on the table with complicated eyes and said in a deep voice,
"Hongzhu, please don't be impulsive. The boss of this bank knows that I am an official's wife, so he absolutely cannot give me money unless..."
Zhou Hongzhu interrupted him angrily, "What else could this be if it wasn't sex? Could it be that the government deliberately..."
He suddenly stopped talking and looked at Yu An in disbelief, "Yu An, do you mean that this money was ordered by the government? Someone in the court secretly minted copper coins. No, it was embezzlement!"
Zhou Hongzhu said quietly and shocked, glanced at the whole box of copper coins, and took a breath.
Fortunately, he didn't actually report it to the official. The copper coins were already circulating in the capital. It was impossible for them to be the only two people who discovered something was wrong. However, no one has ever exposed this matter, which shows that this corrupt person is not only tough in the background, but also very rampant. , it is expected that no one can fight.
If he really went to the Yamen, he would probably go in vertically and come out horizontally.
Zhou Hongzhu couldn't help but break out in cold sweat when he thought of this. Yu An remained silent, but seemed to agree with Zhou Hongzhu's guess.
