"I remember, it was a young man, probably in his early 20s."
"He has a round face, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looks quite energetic."
"She's not that tall, she's about the same height as me, she's fair and fair, and her hair style is similar to mine."
The painter in the county government quickly drew a young man based on his description.
He brought it to the studio and asked, "Could it look like this?"
The painter looked at it carefully and nodded, that's basically what it looked like.
After determining the person's appearance, the county magistrate Ji Feo asked people to post the portraits and offer a reward for the person's arrest.
For a while, this matter was widely circulated.
Because this kind of thing has not happened in their place for a long time. Usually there are very few thefts and robberies, let alone privately minted counterfeit coins.
Three days later.
There were many people who came to report the crime, but none of them were right.
The fourth day.
Suddenly an innkeeper ran into the county government office out of breath.
"Master Qingtian! The common people discovered counterfeit money again!"
In the afternoon, they are open as usual. Because the service attitude is very good, there is an endless stream of people coming and going every day.
He originally asked the account clerk in the store to calculate the accounts after closing and then show them to him.
Because of the counterfeit currency incident, the boss was also more concerned about it and would go over to check it from time to time.
As a result, I found counterfeit money!
He hurriedly called the waiter: "Are there any suspicious customers? Do you still remember who gave the money?"
The waiter was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly.
"Boss, the old one, and the young one don't remember either."
The boss made a decisive decision and must report the crime immediately, otherwise they would be arrested together as accomplices, and the matter would not be clear.
He told the waiter never to let a customer leave, and he hurried over to report the incident.
The county magistrate personally took the person there. According to their thinking, since this person spent counterfeit money to stay in the inn, he must still have it in his hand.
All the people in the county were mobilized to search everyone who was eating or staying in the inn.
But the strange thing is that after searching for a long time, I found nothing.
They had no reason to detain these people for too long and could only let them go if they couldn't find the counterfeit money.
The innkeeper panicked: "Sir, this is really not a lie!"
The county magistrate didn't want to arrest the innkeeper. He could only keep an eye on him and report immediately if he found counterfeit money again.
After returning, the county magistrate was very worried.
This is already the second incident of counterfeit money, but not even the person making the counterfeit money has been seen. If things continue to develop, I am afraid that my black hat will not be protected.
Fearing what might happen, the master ran in in a panic: "Sir, the counterfeit money has appeared again!"
The county magistrate didn't even have time to take a breath, so he rushed over and saw an old man selling candied haws, sitting there with a sad face.
"what happened?"
The old man was extremely anxious. He said it several times before he heard what was going on.
It was a child who came over with money to buy candied haws.
When he saw it was a child, he didn't check the coins carefully.
After the child left, he discovered that it was a counterfeit currency and hurriedly told the patrolman.
The county magistrate felt something was wrong: "Are you sure you saw clearly, it's not a young man, but a child?"
The old man nodded and said that he could not see clearly. It was indeed a child of six or seven years old.
The county magistrate suddenly became confused. If this was the case, then the counterfeiter was not just one person, but probably a group.
The master helped analyze and said: "Sir, in the opinion of a villain, this may not be the case."
"how do I say this?"
"Perhaps, the counterfeiter is just one person, but he knew that he was wanted, so he released a lot of smoke bombs. These counterfeit coins might be given to others by him."
The county magistrate felt that what he said made sense. There were still some people who couldn't tell the difference between real money and counterfeit money, so he took advantage of it.
"Master, what do you think we should do next?"
The master thought for a while and felt that this matter could not be delayed any longer.
He suggested that the county magistrate must report it immediately. If the matter becomes serious, he may be held responsible.
The county magistrate thought the same way. Since the matter was beyond his ability, he should quickly let the people above him solve it.
Eventually, the matter reached Xiang Kunlun.
Xiang Kunlun took this matter very seriously and told the matter directly in the morning.
"It's indeed my negligence. I didn't expect someone to be so bold and not afraid of death."
"Private counterfeit coins must not be tolerated!"
He immediately gave the order and devised a clever plan to arrest people.
Soon, when a young woman came to the store to buy rouge, the police suddenly rushed out.
"Don't be afraid, just tell us where is the person who gave you the money?"
The woman looked confused, feeling that something strange had happened to her this morning.
First, she walked well, and then a young man came over and handed her some money, saying that he was robbing the rich and giving to the poor.
The woman got greedy and asked for the money by accident.
Although she can live with the money she usually earns, she can't afford Rouge jewelry.
At such an age, which woman doesn’t want to be beautiful
So after getting the money, she happily came to the store and wanted to buy a box of rouge.
Xiang Kunlun has already deployed additional manpower in some luxury stores and streets, so he can detect counterfeit coins as quickly as possible.
The woman pointed to the southeast: "There is a small alley over there. That man gave me this money."
The detectives rushed out without saying a word and caught the counterfeiter on the spot.
Xiang Kunlun sentenced him to death to set an example and let everyone know that breaking the law would lead to death.
Zhuge Liang added: "Your Majesty, as long as this kind of thing happens once, it will definitely happen a second time."
"In order to completely eliminate it, it is best to think of a way to permanently eliminate future troubles."
Xiang Kunlun thought what he said made sense.
In terms of coins, he has not yet been able to unify.
He might not have been able to think of such a thing at ordinary times, but now when he was planning to unify the coins, he realized that the situation was more complicated than he thought.
In the original Three Kingdoms period, before he established the Dragon Kingdom, there was a lot of money circulating in the market.
There are counterfeit five-baht coins, Daquan five-hundred coins, and Taiping one-hundred coins.
Before these were unified, different currencies were used in different places.
After unification, everyone still uses his own, but it can be circulated.
Xiang Kunlun was a little excited after Zhuge Liang talked about the coins.
"It seems that it is time to create a kind of money that cannot be copied."
He personally drew and designed a coin and named it RMB.
