Sima Xiangru and old man Sima thought that the village would be very dirty, but when they arrived at Yuntao's hometown, they found that not only was the village very clean, but every household was not a thatched house.

It was much better than any village he had seen before, and Yuntao's house was even more surprising. It was a brick and tile house, and the design and decoration inside were very good. This was something that could be considered good in the imperial capital. The two were very satisfied with what they saw.

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Sima Xiangru was very satisfied. Not only was the room large, but the lighting was also good. It seemed that Yuntao's family was unique in the village. With food and drink here, why would he go back to the capital?

Old man Sima thought it would be a good idea to live in the village in his old age since he wouldn't live that long anyway.

Old man Sima looked at Sima Xiangru with great kindness, "Xiangru, now that we are here, just stay here well. Whether you are used to it or not, don't cause trouble for me, your grandfather. Do you understand, Xiangru?"

Sima Xiangru looked at his grandfather and felt like he was looking at a 250-year-old.

"Grandfather, I am very satisfied. Sister-in-law, you can go back and rest first."

The lady was relieved to see that the two were very satisfied, because the room they lived in was the best guest room in the house.

This room used to be where my grandparents slept, how could it be bad?

The lady returned to her room and immediately took out the silver bill hidden in her chest.

One piece of silver is worth 4 taels. I have never seen so much silver in my life. There are taels of silver in total. I am very excited just thinking about it.

This is a case of seeking wealth and fame at the cost of risk. The lady is still scared now. If she had been discovered, my second uncle would have been in trouble. Fortunately, those two country bumpkins did not recognize a silver note worth ten thousand taels.

The lady is now worried about where to hide the silver bills. She is not at ease with so many silver bills anywhere.

The lady had a sleepless night.

After getting the silver notes, the two brothers Hantie and Hanzhu ran all the way, and when they reached a place where there were horses, they immediately bought a horse.

"Brother, where are we going now?"

"Go to Tiancheng, find a bank, and exchange 10,000 taels of silver. We will settle down in Tiancheng, and then we can each marry a man and a woman. If we can have a few children and live a happy life, I will be satisfied."

Han Tie was very satisfied, "Brother, are you not going back to the village?"

"Go back, what are you going back for? Are you going back to be beaten to death by the villagers?"

"We sent out a few people, and you look at how many people there are now. There are only two of us left. How are we going to explain to the people in the village when we go back?"

"If you want to die, go back alone. I just want to live a carefree and happy life by myself."

"My parents are gone, why should I go back? I just said that casually."

Hantie smiled embarrassedly.

"Little brother, we have money now, and we must not show it to others. I tell you, we have to spend this money slowly, just in case someone with ulterior motives gets their eyes on it. We may not have a good life together, so you'd better keep your mouth shut."

Han Tie immediately covered his mouth.

Han Zhu knew what kind of person his younger brother was, a man without any sense of discipline, who often spoke without thinking.

If someone really wanted to take advantage of it, it would definitely be robbed. Fifty thousand taels of silver, it was a pity that it was too little. I should have called for more. Han Zhu was still a little disappointed.

After riding for two days, the two finally arrived at Tiancheng.

"Brother, look, this is Tiancheng. It really is a good place."

Hantie was extremely excited. Big cities are different. They are much better than small places like villages.

The two of them went to the money shop immediately after arriving in Tiancheng to exchange silver bills.

"Get out, get out, get out! If you don't get out, I will report you to the police immediately."

The waiter's voice was so loud that it attracted other people over.

Hantie was a timid person to begin with, and when he heard the waiter say this, he immediately took the silver bill in his hand and ran away.

The waiter was getting angrier and angrier. He should have called the police to arrest him earlier. What if he harmed other people? Unfortunately, he ran away so early.

Han Tie ran to his elder brother crying.

"Brother, let's go back to the capital immediately. I must settle accounts with those bastards. Since both of us dared to cheat, if I catch him, I will definitely skin him alive."

Han Zhu was confused.

"Brother, what happened? Why are you so angry?"

"Brother, what else could it be? It's just banknotes. Banknotes, brother."

Han Zhu immediately became nervous, "What's wrong with the banknote? Isn't it with big brother? Don't worry, big brother didn't lose it. This banknote is the lifeblood of both of us, and your big brother knows it well."

"Brother, it's not the banknote in your hand, it's the banknote in my hand."

Han Zhu became even more nervous. That was 10,000 taels. His voice was shaking as he spoke, "My little brother, don't tell me that your banknotes have been lost or stolen."

"No, not big brother."

Han Zhu became even more anxious and slapped Han Tie on the forehead, "Can you please finish what you are saying right now? Don't keep me in suspense like this. My heart can't take it. Tell me everything at once, you bastard."

Han Zhu was almost mad with anger. He couldn't finish speaking at once and had to say a little bit every time. It was so annoying.

"Brother, please stop hitting me. It's only since we came out together. You've been beating me all the way. I was almost killed by you. My brain is no longer working properly now."

My brain is not working well anymore. How am I going to find a wife in the future? I don’t want to be single.”

Han Zhu slapped him again, "Tell me what we are talking about now. We are talking about the banknotes. You better finish what you have to do. I don't want to hear it. Tell me quickly, quickly."

Han Zhu immediately became irritable, and the bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.

Han Tie finally came to his senses, "Brother, the banknotes they gave us are fake, fake, brother, my good brother."

"We have completely failed this time."

Han Tie cried as he spoke, a grown man crying so miserably.

After hearing this, Han Zhu stood there stupidly, never coming to his senses.

Han Tie was terrified after seeing this, "Brother, brother, please don't get into any trouble. If you get stupid, what will I do with you, your younger brother?"

After Han Zhu came to his senses, he slapped Han Tie again, "Why are you crying? How could it be fake? If the 10,000 tael note is fake, then the three 10,000 tael notes and the one 5,000 tael note in my hand are all fake."

Han Zhu immediately took out the silver bills in his hand and compared them one by one.

The more I looked, the more frightened I became. My heart sank. It seemed like it was not winter now, but the hearts of the two brothers Han Tie and Han Zhu were colder than winter.

The two men slumped on the ground. "It's over, it's over. It's completely over. Our dreams of getting rich are over, little brother."

"Originally, we two brothers would each receive 2 silver. We would buy a big house and live a life we never dared to imagine before. But now, the beautiful dream is over. We have nothing left, nothing left, little brother."

Han Zhu, a grown man, was crying, holding his head.

"Little brother, what do you say we should do now?"
