I married the wrong man, and I sent him and his whole family to be executed.
Chapter 282 Orange
"No." Feng Zhao shook his head. "We have no evidence, so we have not reported it to His Majesty."
Indeed, reporting back hastily without evidence would only cause the emperor's displeasure, and might even encourage the people behind the scenes to attack Chu Fei and the others.
"Don't act rashly, let's investigate secretly first." Chu Yuheng looked at Feng Zhao seriously.
The two hit it off and immediately decided what to do next.
On the contrary, Chu Fei casually picked up an orange beside him. Yu Wangfei watched him peeling the orange calmly and said casually, "Is it delicious?"
"Not bad." Chu Fei peeled the orange in his hand and handed half to Yu Wangfei, "You try it too."
Before Yu Wangfei could reach out to take it, Feng Zhao immediately took away the half orange: "He did not wash his hands after returning from the palace. Please forgive me, Princess."
"Fei Fei wants to eat it, I will peel it for you." Chu Yuheng said as he picked up an orange and started peeling it.
For some reason, Yu Wangfei always felt that there was a strange smell in the air.
The next day, Chu Yuheng informed Yunhua about the matter and asked him to lead the secret guards to investigate the workshop that made counterfeit money.
The production of counterfeit money is a big project. The people behind it will definitely choose a very secluded cave with mountains and water, or an abandoned mine to refine it.
Chu Fei and Feng Zhao went into the palace to greet the Imperial Concubine as an excuse to secretly check out the fake jewelry in the palace.
Yu Wangfei and Chu Yuheng were looking for traces of counterfeit money and fake jewelry in major stores in the capital.
As luck would have it, Huichuntang had already received nearly half of the counterfeit money. When Doctor Fu learned about this, he regretted that all his income today had turned into waste.
"Whoever uses counterfeit money to buy medicine, you should record his name separately," Chu Yuheng reminded.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Doctor Fu accepted the order.
Who on earth did such a wicked thing? Although Huichuntang did not make any profit in his hands, it did not suffer any loss either. In this way, he had no choice but to hand over the counterfeit currency, thus suffering a huge loss.
"Don't worry about the money. We in the Yu Mansion have plenty of it." Yu Wangfei saw his concerns and comforted him, "We need to first find out who wants to use counterfeit money to cause trouble."
"Princess, I understand clearly."
Just as a few people were chatting, a group of men suddenly came in and clamored to buy medicine for their injuries.
They all looked ferocious, and perhaps because they were wearing thin clothes and their cheeks were frozen red, they looked particularly scary. Chu Yuheng was worried about being recognized by them, so he took the initiative to hold Yu Wangfei's hand and walked behind the screen.
Those people didn't take it seriously and just thought it was some young lady who came out to buy medicine and was too embarrassed to see anyone.
"Take out your golden wound medicines, we want them all." The leading man took out a bag of silver coins from his arms menacingly.
Doctor Fu immediately put on a kind face, packed up all the wound medicines in the shop, and then handed them over.
After getting the bag of money, Dr. Fu opened it carefully and found that the bag was full of counterfeit coins.
So he boldly asked: "Sir, you gave me too much. Why not take some back?"
"Here, take it." The man snorted coldly, turned around and glanced at the decoration inside the shop, "Your golden wound medicine is very good, but the furnishings in the shop are too shabby. There is an auction at the ghost market tonight. You might as well go and take a look and buy some things to decorate the shop."
After saying that, the man spat and left with his brothers.
After they left, Chu Yuheng and Yu Wangfei walked out from behind the screen.
Yu Wangfei opened the bag of silver coins and looked at Chu Yuheng in surprise. Needless to say, he knew with just one glance that the bag was full of counterfeit coins.
"It seems that someone is deliberately disrupting the market." Yu Wangfei looked solemnly at the street outside the door, "They came out to spend counterfeit money, so that counterfeit money can circulate in the market."
"Didn't those people just say that there would be an auction in the ghost market tonight? Let's go and take a look." Chu Yuheng put the counterfeit money into his sleeve, reminding Yu Wangfei that it was time to leave.
We have a clue after all. Now we just need to let the secret guards follow this group of people closely and we will know who is the mastermind behind them. It is only a matter of time to find out the truth.
After leaving Huichuntang, the two went to Dali Temple with the counterfeit money, because Yu Wangfei believed in Liu Ruchu's character, knew that he would never sit idly by, and also believed in his ability to solve cases.
Seeing the bag of counterfeit money, Liu Ruchu frowned in confusion. No wonder he had been feeling that something was happening recently. It turned out that counterfeit money appeared in the capital.
I thought that after dealing with the Gu family matter, I could rest for a few days in the Dali Temple, but I never expected that counterfeit money appeared in the capital again.
This matter is of great importance and must not be spread outside, let alone cause panic among the people.
In this way, Chu Yuheng handed the case of investigating counterfeit currency to Liu Ruchu and ordered him to secretly find out the truth.
After nightfall, Yu Wangfei and Chu Yuheng changed their clothes and sneaked into the ghost market.
Previously, Yu Wangfei had only heard that there had been a ghost market underground in the capital. The people in the ghost market were all extremely vicious criminals. The items sold in the ghost market came from countless places all over the world. At the same time, there were countless treasures in the ghost market.
But she had never set foot here, not because she was afraid, but because she didn't have the time. On the other hand, the ghost market didn't have what she wanted.
After entering the ghost market, Chu Yuheng deliberately found a clean-looking wonton shop to sit down and took the initiative to order two bowls of wontons.
The wonton shop owner saw the purpose of their visit and took the initiative to talk to them: "You two are here for rare treasures as well, right?"
"Yes." Chu Yuheng admitted frankly.
There is no need to hide the purpose of coming here. If the man in broad daylight could tell Doctor Fu about the auction so easily, he must have told other people as well. His purpose is to attract more people to come here to bid for the treasures.
"Do you have any banknotes with you?" the shopkeeper asked.
"I brought it, but why does it have to be silver bills?" Yu Wangfei wondered.
They not only have silver bills but also counterfeit money.
"According to the rules of the Treasure Pavilion, all items must be purchased with silver notes." The shopkeeper explained to the two of them, "If you use silver coins, those treasures will easily cost hundreds of thousands of taels. If you use silver coins, you will need several boxes. How troublesome."
So that's how it is. It seems that the Treasure Pavilion also knows that counterfeit currency has appeared in the capital, so it requires visitors to purchase with silver bills. It seems that the Treasure Pavilion is inseparable from the counterfeit currency case.
After the two of them talked with the shopkeeper for a few more words, they found the Treasure Pavilion under the shopkeeper's guidance.
At this time, the lights in the Treasure Pavilion were bright, and even outside the building there was a festive scene.
Those who knew about it thought it was an auction, while those who didn’t would think that some rich young man was getting married in the Treasure Pavilion today.
When the waiter saw that the materials worn by Yu Wangfei and Chu Yuheng were expensive, he guessed that they were big customers, and immediately took them to a private room on the second floor, allowing them to have a good rest while waiting for the auction to begin.
"They really know what's good." Yu Wangfei muttered a few words.
