Chapter 122 Real and Fake Silver Dollars
Liu Yueya turned over and sat up: "Aidundun, what are you doing?"
"Cover Sister Qiaoqiao with a quilt, otherwise she will catch a cold and have to take bitter medicine." Juanjuan said as she pulled the blanket at the foot of the bed.
"Let me do it. You can't carry her like that." Liu Yueya jumped off the bed, picked up the blanket at the foot of the bed and gently covered Bai Qiao with it.
Bai Qiao had huddled up because she was a little cold, but now that she was warm, she felt much more relaxed.
Juanjuan struggled to grab the quilt and climb onto the bed, but the bed was still a little too high for her.
She only felt someone hugging her tightly on both sides of her body and supporting her with force, and then she was already on the bed.
Turning to look at Liu Yueya, she smiled with her eyebrows curved: "Thank you, Sister Yueya."
"If you know you're short, don't run down. If you go down, you won't be able to get up. Sister Baiqiao won't catch a cold, but you will be the first one to do so."
Liu Yueya complained as she walked to the bed, lifted the quilt and stuffed her in: "Lie down."
Juanjuan lay down obediently, with a smile on her face: "Sister Yueya is the best."
Liu Yueya climbed onto the bed from the other side and covered her with the quilt: "Go to sleep!"
Several children were awakened by the sound of firecrackers outside. Many families bought firecrackers on New Year's Eve.
Bai Qiao woke up with a start, and when she saw the blanket on her body, she realized that she had fallen asleep.
She looked at the two ladies on the bed. Both of them looked confused, as if they had just woken up.
Siming was looking out the window in the study on the second floor. The sound of firecrackers made him instinctively want to draw his gun.
"Knock knock knock." The housekeeper stood outside and knocked on the door.
"What's wrong?" Siming turned to look at the housekeeper.
"General, there's a call from the hospital." The butler explained the reason for coming to see him.
Siming walked to the desk, picked up the phone and answered: "Hello."
"Hu Youlin and Shen Congyin have woken up. Their noise made the entire hospital unable to work." Weng Jin's voice came from the other end of the phone.
The shouting of Hu Youlin and Shen Congyin could still be heard from inside.
"What did you do to my legs? I want to find my dad."
"You are just seeking revenge."
…
"Throw the man out of the hospital. As for the problem of medicine, you can try it on guinea pigs." Siming is not a philanthropist. He only said to save their lives.
But I didn't say that I have to serve them for free for the rest of their lives. Since they are so disobedient, there is no point in keeping them.
"Send them back to the Hu and Shen families?" Weng Jin was not surprised by his decision.
Siming: "The Hu family is gone, and the Shen family no longer has this daughter. Just throw her out of the hospital. If she makes any more trouble, let the soldiers take care of her!"
"Okay, I'll have someone throw him out." Weng Jin had no doubts.
"Come over to have the New Year's Eve dinner when you're done. Don't stay in the hospital all the time. It feels like I'm torturing you." Siming added.
Weng Jin was stunned for a moment and then smiled: "Okay, I'll be there as soon as I'm done."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
"Dad." Juanjuan stood obediently at the door and did not go in directly.
"Why don't you come in?" Si Ming looked at her with a smile on his face.
"Dad is busy and I can't disturb him." Juanjuan answered seriously.
"Now that you're done, you can come in." Si Ming put down the phone in his hand and waved at her.
Juanjuan jumped up and ran to hug his thighs.
Siming bent down and picked her up: "It seems heavy."
"Yeah, I've gained weight." Juanjuan said while touching her round belly.
"Hahaha! It's good that you've gained weight." Siming laughed happily as he watched her movements.
After a while, Si Jinchen ran over to find Juanjuan to play.
Si Ming put her down and let her go play with Si Jinchen.
Adjutant Qi hurried into the study, and when he saw him, his expression became more serious: "Something happened to the Governor."
"What's up?"
"There are a lot of counterfeit banknotes and silver dollars on the market now, and many people have been deceived. The police station is now short of manpower."
"I just found the Military Governor's Office and they want us to help investigate the counterfeit money issue." Adjutant Qi explained why he came to see him today.
Siming frowned slightly: "When did it appear?"
"There have been a few cases before, but the numbers were small, so the police didn't take it seriously. But with more people buying New Year's goods during this period, the frequency of counterfeit money has increased."
"Now many people suspect that the money they have is counterfeit. Since the banks are closed, they all go to the police station."
Adjutant Qi felt a headache just thinking about it. When he came, he even went to the police station to take a look, but he couldn't get in the gate because there were a lot of people crowded outside.
"You're really good at looking for trouble." Siming supported himself on the table with both hands.
"The source of this counterfeit money is difficult to trace. If it floods the market, I'm afraid Beiyang City will be in turmoil again." Adjutant Qi had a headache.
Siming: "Go and call Second Master and Second Master Liu to the small living room. Also, contact the Miao family and General Chen to see if they have any clues."
"Yes." Adjutant Qi said and immediately turned and left.
When Si Tian and Liu Cheng'an were called to the small living room, they were still playing with a few children, so they simply brought the children into the small living room.
Siming didn't say anything when he saw them coming together.
Juanjuan and Si Jinchen sat next to Si Ming, one on each side, and sat very straight.
Liu Yueya also sat next to Liu Chengan without saying a word.
"What happened?" Yan Anqing followed in and sat aside.
"Just now, Adjutant Qi said that there are a lot of counterfeit money in Beiyang City now. Many people have been cheated and are now blocked at the door of the police station." Siming briefly explained the matter.
"Fake money?" Si Tian frowned and looked at Liu Cheng'an.
"I haven't paid much attention to collecting money recently. If there really is counterfeit money, I'm afraid we must have a lot of it in our hands." Liu Cheng'an was shocked.
This fake money is no joke, and the losses are enough for them to bear.
Yan Anqing: "How come so much counterfeit money is pouring into Beiyang City?"
"We don't know yet. We have no idea about counterfeit money at the moment, and it's difficult for ordinary people to tell the difference." Adjutant Qi took out a few banknotes and silver dollars from his pocket and placed them on the table.
Juanjuan looked at the things on the table with curiosity on her little face.
Si Tian took the banknote and looked at it. Without looking carefully, it was impossible to tell whether it was real or not. Even the weight of the silver dollar was the same as the real one.
I took the silver dollar and blew on it, and found that the sound was crisp and pleasant, almost the same as a real silver dollar. Unless you listen carefully, you can tell the slight difference.
"Is this silver dollar fake?" He looked at Adjutant Qi with some uncertainty.
Adjutant Qi nodded and said, "I asked someone at the bank to check it, and it's indeed fake."
Liu Cheng'an and the others checked the silver dollars on the table one by one. They were quite experienced in handling paper money and could still notice the difference.
But this silver dollar is so fake that it can be mistaken for the real thing. Not to mention ordinary people, even people like them would fall into their trap.
