The high-ranking officials in the imperial court all started using paper money, and the lower-ranking officials also started using paper money in order to curry favor with their superiors.

Following the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce incident, wealthy merchants throughout Tokyo began to actively exchange their money for paper money at the Imperial Bank of the Song Dynasty.

In the following days, paper money began to spread rapidly throughout Tokyo.

For example, whenever Liu Yanzong went to talk to the younger girls about life, he would use paper money and shout that anyone who didn't use paper money was disrespecting him, Liu Yusi.

Recently, He Liming has been having trouble sleeping at night, feeling that he has failed the emperor's trust.

Ignoring the injury on his buttocks, he has been working like a man possessed for the past few days, leading his men to search the city thoroughly, digging three feet into the ground, determined to find Wu Yi.

That day, He Liming was eating noodles heartily by the roadside, and after finishing his bowl of noodles, he was about to start searching again.

His subordinates rushed over, shouting, "Sir He! Sir He! We've found Wu Yi! We've found Wu Yi!"

Upon hearing this, He Liming immediately threw down the money, mounted his horse, and exclaimed, "Take me there!"

When He Liming and his men arrived at an abandoned temple in the south of the city, they saw Wu Yi's body. The coroner had already arrived and was examining the body.

He Liming's forehead veins bulged, and Wu Yi was also dead. Now the clues had gone cold again!

Wu Yi died from a knife stabbed into the back of his neck.

Wu Yi was personally recruited by He Liming. He was very skilled and was one of the best among the Imperial City Guards. There were almost no people who could kill him with a single blow.

Therefore, the person who killed him must have been someone who knew him, was close to him, and whom he hadn't been wary of.

At that moment, someone brought in a beggar.

"Shangguan He, this beggar said he saw who killed Wu Yi."
