Shuang Daqin Comparison, No Comparison, No Harm

Li Xin was shocked to learn that the circulation of counterfeit money was not just those merchants disrupting the market, but someone above the imperial court doing it deliberately.

"What they did was such a big blow to Qin's economy, they dared to take the risk."

Zhao Ze didn't take it seriously, "Money can make ghosts turn the clock. Their monthly salaries in official positions are almost one hundred taels to two hundred taels."

"It's not enough to consume at all. For money, they can only do so."

Seeing that Zhao Ze didn't seem particularly annoyed by the matter, Li Xin asked, "Then what should we do next?"

Zhao Ze sneered and said: "Since Wang Li, Zhao Haitao and Qi Jianshu both colluded in this matter, of course I will overturn them together.

With the goal determined, Zhao Ze deliberately asked Lin Zhizhou to pay attention to the movements of the three of them.

Zhao Ze doesn't intend to scare the snake right now, I intend to find out the real coins they annexed first.

For the counterfeit currency circulation, Zhao Ze has found those merchants, and the so-called real currency has been searched out from the accounts of those merchants.

Now that money has flowed into the national treasury, it is still a little worse to count.

Ying Zheng originally thought it would be good to be able to recover most of them, so he didn't pursue it.

Zhao Ze thought about it, the money was not the real currency that was exchanged at all.

It's the merchant's own money.

Those merchants are now being tried at Dali Temple.

Dali Temple is under the care of Zhao Haitao, so even if they have grievances, they can't tell.

He thought of the merchants that Qi Jianshu said he wanted to solve in the restaurant just now.

Zhao Ze immediately sent Li Xin to Dali Temple.

Li Xin came to Dali Temple with Zhao Ze's token.

Dali Temple is located in the northeast of Xianyang Ring City, about one kilometer away from Xianyang Imperial City in the direction.

Those under pressure are all criminals who have committed serious mistakes in recent years or prisoners who are awaiting arraignment.

The entire dungeon is in the shape of a ring, made of huge stones, with a total of ten floors and a height of more than 30 meters near the road.

A natural patio is formed in the middle for the officials of Dali Temple to rest and eat.

Next to it are the cells, which are airtight, with only one small vent in each room.

Such terrain advantages make it difficult for the prisoners in Dali Temple to escape.

Even outsiders can only enter through the gate of Dali Temple.

In order to prevent people from entering the marble cell, a different mechanism was designed.

As long as someone steps on it, they will be attacked by tens of thousands of arrow feathers around them.

So as long as anyone who understands marble dare not break into it.

There are nearly a thousand cells inside.

The scale is almost half the size of Xianyang Imperial City.

Counting from the previous dynasty to the present, there are nearly a thousand prisoners held there.

If calculated, there are almost tens of thousands of those who were exiled.

There are nearly 10,000 imperial guards guarding the entire Dali Temple.

It is enough to see how important the position of Dali Siqing is.

Therefore, Zhao Haitao's official rank is actually not low, and it is also the third rank.

Li Xin entered Dali Temple with Zhao Ze's badge.

As soon as he stepped in, he saw Zhao Haitao walking towards him.

Zhao Haitao was followed by several imperial guards with swords in their hands.

He stepped forward and asked Li Xin with a sneer: "The eldest son of the emperor said that he will be interrogated, do you have an order?"

Zhao Haitao smiled, but it could be seen from his hand holding the scabbard tightly that he was nervous at the moment.

Li Xin faced him directly, and said without fear: "The token of the eldest son of the emperor is the handbook, so it is possible that something else is needed to prove the identity of the eldest son of the emperor?"

Faced with Li Xin's doubts, Zhao Haitao cleverly changed the subject, "That's not what it means, but these people have been judged as prisoners who will be exiled, and they will be exiled to Changzhou the day after tomorrow."

«There is still an interrogation now, what is the reason? As Dali, I have to ask clearly, right?」

"When it comes time to go into exile, if they run away, then I will be responsible for the Dali incident.

"Even if it is the eldest son of the emperor, then we have to follow the procedure."

Those traders confessed to their private minting of counterfeit coins.

Also remembering that they had already returned those real coins, the imperial court did not sentence them to death, but let them be exiled.

This matter has already been decided, and Dali Temple will send people to Changzhou the day after tomorrow.

It is really unreasonable for Zhao Ze to be interrogated at this time.

Before Li Xin came, Zhao Ze reminded (Wang De's) that Dali Temple Minister Zhao Haitao would definitely make things difficult.

So I deliberately found a good reason for Li Xin.

Li Xin directly followed what Zhao Ze said at the time: "The prince feels that there are several things wrong with the counterfeit currency circulation this time, and it needs to be re-examined."

"If you think something is wrong, you can report it directly to the emperor, and the eldest son of the emperor will take care of it himself.

"But if you refuse to let people go, and it turns out to be a misjudgment, then you, Dali Temple, will also have to take responsibility.

Having said all this, Zhao Haitao didn't dare to take out the posture just now to hold him down and refuse to let him go.

He looked at Li Xin unwillingly.

Li Xin looked at him with provocation and complacency in his eyes. .
