Chapter 1403: Destroy the Heavenly King Chapter 1403: Destroy the Heavenly King Ding Yi didn’t ask any more questions.
He knew that his brother still had a backup plan waiting for him.
He looked at the banknotes, silver, and copper coins at the side and narrowed his eyes.
No matter how good the money was, it was useless even if he didn’t have the life to spend it.
Hurried footsteps sounded.
Someone who lived near the government office ran over excitedly with his household registration.
As these people appeared, more and more people rushed over.
…
They were afraid that if they were slow, the silver would be exchanged in the next second.
“Get them to form a dozen lines and start in a row,” Zhang Ronghua ordered.
Cao Xing had the Mysterious Heavenly Golden Scaled Army cooperate with the prefectural soldiers to complete the task assigned by the Marquis.
There were a total of nineteen rows, and the number of people in each row was increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Some places were narrow, and the number of rows was reduced.
They could only stand behind others.
He looked at the burning passion in their eyes.
“Come here,” said Zhang Ronghua.
The first row stepped forward with their household registration in hand.
Tie Changlin ordered his men to check that all of them were real.
There were silver, copper, and silver notes.
There were even some who were carrying bulging sacks.
He asked them to place the banknotes, silver coins, and copper coins into the two bath barrels.
Under the effect of the potion, they would immediately reveal their true forms.
The former would become smelly, and the latter would lose its color.
They were all fake.
These people were not depressed.
Although they were holding it in, they still showed their excitement.
Out of the 19 people, only three of them were of ordinary backgrounds.
They wore simple green clothes and coarse cloth clothes.
Their expressions were also different.
They had gained and lost, and they looked as if they were secretly relieved.
Their money added together was only eight taels and twenty-six wen.
The rest of the people had at least a few ingots of silver and one or two one-hundred-dollar notes.
The one with the most money carried a sack with a stack of notes.
There were ten thousand taels of silver each, five thousand, two thousand, and one thousand notes, as well as some silver and copper coins.
Zhang Ronghua ordered his men to give the money to the three of them.
Get the silver.
The three of them were deeply grateful and hurriedly left.
The remaining people were anxious.
They wanted to speak but did not dare.
Zhang Ronghua didn’t even look at them.
He waited patiently for the news.
He wanted to see if the powerful intelligence network of the Primordial Demon God could support his investigation.
In just one or two minutes.
All the information about these people was sent over.
He took it from Xia Ningyu’s hands and read it carefully.
It was recorded in great detail.
Everything he did was recorded.
He thought to himself, No wonder His Majesty sits in the deep palace.
Nothing in the world is hidden from him!
The person with the most fake silver was called Pang Peng.
“Take him down!” Zhang Ronghua ordered.
Two prefecture soldiers rushed forward and immediately subdued him.
The latter struggled and shouted desperately,” Lord Marquis, what do you mean by this?”
Zhang Ronghua said coldly,” Three years ago, you molested a woman from a good family on the streets.
A few days later, you broke into her house under the influence of alcohol and raped her.
You spent money to bribe her and use her family to threaten her.
If she agreed to drop the case, you would get 20 taels of silver as compensation.
If she disagreed, you would send them on their way.
The victim had no choice but to submit.
Now that the evidence is conclusive, your house will be raided immediately.
Everyone in the Pang family will be thrown into the prison of the Ministry of Justice and executed on a date!”
“I’m innocent!
Lord Marquis, please be more observant…”
Before he could finish speaking, he was knocked unconscious and taken away by the soldiers.
The bailiffs rushed out and went to Pang Manor to arrest them.
His gaze fell on these fifteen people, and he listed out their crimes one by one.
He took them all down, and the outcome was the same.
They would be confiscated and beheaded!
* *
The sound of hurried and orderly footsteps rang out.
Zheng Fugui, who had received the order, led the soldiers of the Fifth Division of City Defense to help.
They were in charge of capturing people.
“Continue,” said Zhang Ronghua.
Some of the people in the second row were panicking.
Those who were fearless naturally weren’t afraid.
They took their household registration and stepped forward.
Just like what they had said to the Xia Emperor in the royal study, if they dared to jump out at this time, as long as the crime was magnified infinitely, they would be punished severely.
They would target the great clans, merchants, and noble families.
The ordinary people would be compensated, and the stability of the people below would be guaranteed.
After checking, some people took the silver and left, while the rest stood in panic.
Xia Ningyu handed over some files again.
Zhang Ronghua continued to read them out and then arrested them.
More and more people were caught, and the commotion was huge.
Even a pig understood that the Marquis of Shangjing was too ruthless!
He had guessed a little of their intentions.
They were targeting the rich families and wanted them to swallow this loss in silence.
Otherwise, they would bring up old scores.
Although this bit of silver was painful for them, it could support them.
Unlike ordinary people, without this money, they would suffer huge losses.
Some of them might not even be able to survive.
He cursed in his heart.
He said it in a dignified manner, but it sounded better than singing.
No one knew who took the lead, but they came happily and left silently.
The prefecture soldiers, the Fifth Division of City Defense, and the Golden Scaled Mysterious Heaven Army did not stop them.
Someone took the lead, and those who were wavering gritted their teeth and followed.
As the news spread, all the higher-ups in the capital knew about it.
Zhang Qinglin had killed two birds with one stone.
He had threatened them with the past and ensured that the situation below was stable.
No matter what they did, they wouldn’t be able to cause any trouble.
No matter who it was, officials and businessmen were afraid of investigation.
There was no one clean under their buttocks.
After a while.
There were less than half of the people present.
Although the remaining people were all low-class commoners, there were all kinds of birds in the forest.
Some of them wanted to take advantage of him but were exposed on the spot.
What awaited them was the same outcome as the former.
At this point.
The mastermind’s scheme had been broken, and the counterfeit banknote case was half-closed.
They just needed to wait for news from Jiu Xuanji.
Time passed.
It didn’t end until dawn, when the last person left happily with the silver.
“Have you recorded it?” asked Zhang Ronghua.
“The records of the silver exchanged are all here,” Tie Changlin said.
