Wang Muxue was a little worried that Ye Chang would sacrifice himself for her.
"Husband, this matter has nothing to do with our Ye family after all."
"As for my brother, if he doesn't want to marry, I'm sure my father won't be able to do anything to him."
"You must not damage the reputation of the Ye family for these trivial matters."
Ye Chang was very happy when he heard Wang Muxue talking about how great our Ye family is.
"Mu Xue, don't worry. I know what I'm doing. I will never hurt anyone, and I will never put myself in a difficult position."
Wang Muxue was worried and gave a few more instructions. Only after Ye Chang's repeated assurances did she feel relieved.
"Okay, it's getting late. I have to go to Yaoguang Pavilion."
Ye Chang nodded, then watched Wang Muxue and Qiaoqiao leave together.
After they left, Ye Chang went to Tianji Bank. Today, they had a good show to perform.
After Ye Chang arrived at the money shop, he immediately instructed the clerk to prepare several boxes of different sizes.
Although the guy was confused, he quickly prepared as he said.
There are many boxes of silver in the bank, so it is not difficult to find a few boxes.
Soon, the guys were ready.
"Third Master, everything is ready. Where should we put these boxes?"
The owner of the bank was a little confused, but Ye Chang just smiled and asked them to put the boxes in the backyard of the bank.
Then he handed a booklet to the shopkeeper.
"Shopkeeper, the Tianquan Bookstore, Tianji Bank, and Tianji Bank will come to exchange cash for silver notes. Remember, give them all, no matter how much."
"But there is one thing: apart from these three, no one else, no matter who they are, can exchange cash for silver notes."
"If anyone makes a fuss, just say that all the banknotes have been exchanged to those three families and cannot be exchanged for the time being."
"However, we can accept deposits. Anyone who comes to deposit money, especially those listed in the list, must remember to seal their boxes separately."
"Also, seal the box in front of them and have them sign and seal it."
The shopkeeper took a look at the booklet and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
Seeing the shopkeeper's happy expression, Ye Chang felt relieved.
In the past few days, they have suffered a lot of losses in their efforts to investigate the source of the counterfeit currency.
Now that they have a clue about what's going on, they will naturally fight back.
Look, people on the streets of the capital city started talking about it as they saw the three families' carriages marching into the Tianji Bank.
"What day is today? Why do you have to deposit money on this day?"
"Your Majesty and the Queen are not here. Could it be that something happened that we don't know about?"
"Could it be that someone is rebelling? What are they going to do with the money?"
After hearing the people's wild speculations, someone immediately came out to explain.
"Don't you know yet? Tianquan Bookstore, Tianxia Restaurant, and Yaoguang Pavilion have all posted notices."
"Oh? What? Tell us quickly, what's going on."
The man simply repeated the notices in front of the three houses to the noisy people.
"No wonder, it turns out they use too much cash."
"But it's strange. In the past, rich people used to pay directly with silver notes."
"Why are they suddenly switching to cash now? It's really confusing."
"Hey, look, Tianji Bank has also posted a notice."
[Due to a large amount of cash exchange resulting in a shortage of banknotes, we will temporarily suspend banknote exchanges starting today. If you have banknotes on deposit, please feel free to visit us at any time.]
"What does this mean? It's so strange. Why are we not allowed to use cash out of the blue?"
The people were very puzzled, but a middle-aged man in the crowd who was wearing white clothes and fancy decorations frowned fiercely.
This person was none other than Xu Jiawei, whom Wang Muxue had mentioned before.
He stood in the crowd and listened for a while, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
He ignored other people's strange looks and secretly ran towards his home.
As soon as he left, several people followed him.
Xu Jiawei was so preoccupied with his own affairs that he didn't realize he was being followed.
When he returned home, he found that he had very little cash left.
After thinking it over, he changed out of his gorgeous clothes, put on some servant's clothes, and went out again.
"You guys follow him, I'll go back and report to the Fourth Young Master."
After speaking in the dark, a man quickly left, while Xu Jiawei took many detours and entered the backyard of a wealthy family.
The person who was following ran to the front door to take a look, and after confirming the other party's identity, he went back to the back door.
Not long after, Xu Jiawei actually pulled out a carriage from the back door. From the ruts on the carriage, it could be seen that the things in the carriage were very heavy.
Several people followed him all the way and actually saw him driving the carriage directly to Tianji Money House.
At the same time, there were several other groups of people, each tracking their own targets.
But in the end, they all went to Tianji Money House without exception.
The shopkeeper looked at the customers who came and went to deposit money, but there was no joy in his eyes.
Finally, when it was almost closing time in the afternoon, the shopkeeper could no longer hold it in.
"Third Young Master, you clearly knew there was something wrong with this money, so why did you continue to accept it?"
"Do you know how much silver we have saved today alone?"
"If they start making a scene when they come to collect the silver, we might not be able to handle it."
