Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

Shi Mo hurriedly filled out the form, feeling dizzy for a while.

He didn't remember what he had filled in just now. He only had one thought in his mind, which was to exchange Datang coins as soon as possible, and then leave with the money.

However, when Shi Mo came outside, he was greeted by Li You, who was smiling but not smiling, waving to him.

"Captain Shi Mo, come here."

After Shi Mo passed by, Li You said directly as if he was the Minister of the Household Department: "Take out all the Tang coins you brought. After we inspect them on site, we will pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other."

Then Li You turned his head, pointed to the row of officials sitting behind him, and said, "There are ten windows over there, and ten people will inspect them together. I think it won't take long to get your 300 million Tang coins."

At this time, Shi Mo remembered the banknotes brought over by the Taiyuan Wang family through a secret channel yesterday.

He quickly pretended to be embarrassed and said, "King Yan, I'm really sorry."

"300 million is only the amount from three days ago. I heard that we are going home these days, and many Persian merchants have given us the Tang coins they received."

"They want us to take that money back for them as well."

"Now the amount is nearly 500 million."

"Is there no problem with King Yan?"

After listening, Li You frowned slightly, then looked at "Jin Shan" beside him and said hesitantly, "It should be fine."

"Since you have brought them all, let's count them together."

After finishing speaking, Li You waved his hand and summoned a servant behind him.

After Li You and the servant whispered a few words, the servant hurriedly left the scene.

Shi Mo quickly asked: "Why is there any problem?"

"If there is any problem, I can also explain it to other Western Region merchants. I think they can all understand Datang's difficulties."

Hearing this, Li You couldn't help but sneered in his heart.

[Just now I kept saying that I was helping a few Persian businessmen to bring money home, but now I’m going to tell the entire Western Regions businessmen. 】

[Should I give you a loudspeaker and put it at the gates of Dongshi and Xishi to say that the Datang household department has no credit and cannot exchange Datang coins! 】

[But the number of 500 million, the people behind you are really not ordinary ambitious! 】

[I don't know if you want to mess with Li Er or me. 】

Although he sneered in his heart, on the surface Li You still looked embarrassed but tried his best to cover up: "Of course there is no problem with the household department."

"But you also know that an extra 200 million guan is not a small sum. I have to get someone to prepare."

In fact, it was true that Li You asked the boy to go out to inform the person, but the content of the notification was that he was going to collect the net, and the other party's counterfeit banknotes had arrived according to the number.

At this moment, Shi Mo, who was facing Li You, was relieved a lot.

"Yan Wang, although your acting skills are considered good compared to those of your age, but you are still a little tender in front of me!"

"But it's okay, if you don't pretend like this, how can I feel at ease."

However, when Shi Mo felt a little relieved, the actions of those inspectors made him a little uneasy.

He hurriedly scolded loudly: "This is Datang coin, be careful, it really burnt, can you afford it?"

Shi Mo saw a candle in front of the ten people who were tested before.

Li You's printing workshop has preheated color-changing ink, which is known to many people. Many times, when trading Datang coins, they would choose to bake them with candles to identify the authenticity.

So at first, Shi Mo thought these candles were normal.

At the same time, he taunted Li You fiercely in his heart, and at the same time he was complacent that this time the Wang family solved the problem of color-changing ink.

But now, Shi Mo saw these inspectors holding Datang coins and directly burning them towards the candle flame.

Such a reckless style is not at all identifying whether there is a color-changing potion, but really burning money.

Seeing that the inspectors remained indifferent after he shouted, Shi Mo became a little angry: "King Yan, is this your plan?"

"Are you planning to have these Tang coins burned and then refuse to exchange them?"

"If you really think so, I won't take the money today."

"But from now on, all merchants in the Western Regions will no longer use Datang Coins!"

Facing Shi Mo's anger, Li You smiled slightly, and then signaled him to be calm.

"Shi Mo, I think you already know that there is a color-changing potion in Datang coins that changes color after being heated."

"Because of the existence of this inspection method, it is common for all Datang coins to be roasted by fire."

"But you also know that the more times this paper is baked by fire, the more brittle it will be, and the easier it will be to catch fire."

"In order to prevent the Tang coins from being turned into a pool of ashes when the authenticity is verified, I added a more fire-resistant potion when making the Tang coins."

"So you see, those real Tang coins, after being burned by candles for a while, there is actually nothing wrong with them."

Then, in order to reassure Shi Mo, Li You walked to an inspection counter, picked up a Datang coin, put it on the candlelight without looking at it.

However, just as Li You swore and triumphantly showed the fire-resistant properties of Datang Coins to Shi Mo and other onlookers, everyone exclaimed!
Then Li You also found out that something was wrong.

Because a burning sensation was coming from his hand!

"Oops, I'm burnt to death!"

It turned out that the Datang coin in Li You's hand just now turned into a hotter ball of fire when it came into contact with the flames.

If it wasn't for Li You's quick response, he probably wouldn't be able to keep his sleeves now.

"how can that be!"

Li You looked unbelievable, and then picked up a stack of Datang coins and burned them.

Seeing Li You's crazy "burning money" behavior, Shi Mo's heart was already ashes.

He knew that nine out of ten things today could not be improved.

He wanted to step forward to stop Li You's actions, but two guards had already stepped forward quietly, blocking his way forward, so he could only watch Li You burn money one by one.

At this time, voices of doubt also came from the audience.

"King Yan, don't try it, it seems that you have been deceived. Where is there any paper that cannot be burned? Now that the news has just spread, go and arrest the person who sold you the potion."

However, Li You seemed to be completely unable to hear the voice below, and continued his behavior of burning money.

Finally, when the pile of money in his hand was about to be reduced to ashes, Li You finally showed a smile on his face.

He shouted loudly: "Look quickly, there is finally a real one!"
