Farmer’s Wife Has Magic Skills

Chapter 492: 492. Received Fake Money

Chu Xujin immediately sent someone to bring Mrs. Zhou's cousin over, but the cousin was not at home, and hadn't been at home since the afternoon.

Ge Lihua frowned, "Absconded in fear of crime?"

When Xu San heard this, he immediately yelled, "Look, I'll just say it's him, let me go, it's none of my business."

Chu Xujin looked over, "It is not yet possible to prove that he killed someone. You should be patient. If you kill him, you won't be able to run away. If you didn't kill him, you won't be wronged."

Xu San shrank his neck from Chu Xujin's stern eyes, he didn't dare to speak any more, and stayed honest.

Chu Xujin said to Ge Lihua, "Look here, I will go back and bring my wolf to find someone, even if it hides in the ends of the world, I will find him."

Ge Lihua nodded, "Okay."

Chu Xujin took the three wolves to the village of Zhou Fu's cousin. When the three and a half big wolves appeared, no one dared to approach them. The wolves sniffed Zhou Fu's clothes and started looking for them.

First walk along the road of the village, then turn into the mountain, and go straight to the deep mountain.

Chu Xujin brought two yamen servants with him, just in case.

The two yamen servants looked at the deep mountain, worried, "There are so many wild beasts in the mountain, if a tiger or something suddenly jumped out, we would have to finish playing."

Chu Xujin turned back and said to the two, "Don't worry, it won't happen, I promise."

Seeing that Chu Xujin's words were so uncertain, the two yamen servants felt relieved.

Chu Xujin smiled, and was about to say something when the three wolves stopped suddenly. He quickly gestured to the two of them, and then squatted down.

After the three squatted down, they observed the situation ahead through the gaps in the bushes.

The three wolves rushed up at once, and pressed the person who had sneaked out of the cave to the ground. One of the wolves held the opponent's head with its claws majestically, and looked at Chu Xujin with a particularly proud look.

Chu Xujin hurriedly called the two of them to come forward and tie them up, "Are you Mrs. Zhou's cousin?"

This is a tall man with regular features, dark blue clothes, flustered eyes, but he tries to keep calm, his face looks distorted.

Gao Changyong wanted to deny it, but seeing the three wolves staring at each other, he couldn't express his panic, "I am, what are you arresting me for?"

Chu Xujin asked back, "What do you think?"

Gao Changyong panicked, "How do I know, I've been staying in this deep mountain, and I don't know what's going on outside."

"Do you really not know? Or are you pretending not to know?" Chu Xujin's expression turned serious, "When did you come to the mountains?"

Gao Changyong said, "I am a hunter in the village. I entered the mountain yesterday afternoon. Everyone watched me enter the mountain. If you don't believe me, you can ask the people in the village."

Chu Xujin secretly said, this is really hard to explain, "It's okay if you don't go into the mountain, but who knows what you did if you go into the mountain."

Gao Changyong cried, "If I knew that entering the mountain would bring me trouble, I would definitely not enter the mountain."

"Now I only believe in evidence." Chu Xujin and two yamen guards escorted Gao Changyong back to the yamen.

To everyone's surprise, Gao Changyong did not admit that he killed someone. He also asked a question, saying that he killed someone, but where was the murder weapon?

Chu Xujin wiped it with the quilt, which can cause suffocation, but it doesn't mean that it was the quilt that smothered the person to death.

This question stumped everyone, and these people are very capable of carrying it, and they don't admit to killing people.

...

After the garden closed, everyone returned home and counted money like last night.

At this time, Chu Xuhua came over with a stack of bank notes, "This is the money collected for today's delivery, Ruyue, please order it and put it into the account."

"Okay." Shen Ruyue opened the ledger, then took the banknotes to count, and lit them. She suddenly stopped, frowning slightly, and took out three of the fifty taels of banknotes, "Look, there seems to be something wrong with these three banknotes."

Everyone look over here.

Chu Qingyue hesitated, "This bank note seems to be fake."

When Chu Xuhua heard this, he hurried back, took out the banknotes and looked at them carefully, and took out the banknotes beside him that he didn't think there was a problem for comparison, his face darkened.

Chu Qingzhi took the bank note in her hand and looked at it, "It is indeed a fake."

Shen Ruyue frowned and asked, "Xuhua, do you know who took this bank note from?"

Chu Xuhua shook his head, his expression was not very good, "I don't know who exactly, but today I delivered the goods to ten companies, and they must have given them to me."

Shen Ruyue murmured, "Did they do it on purpose? Or did they not know?"

"I'll go and have a look." Chu Xuhua couldn't hold back his breath, grabbed three silver tickets, rode on Fubao, and left home. He had to go to these merchants to confirm that it was one hundred and fifty taels, not fifteen taels, and the loss was too heavy.

"Hey, Xuhua..." Shen Ruyue chased after him, but Chu Xuhua had disappeared.

"I'll go and have a look." Chu Qingzhi followed out.

Tang Jinghong saw Chu Qingzhi leave, and hurried out, "Qingzhi, wait."

Chu Qingzhi stopped Hou Fu, Tang Jinghong flew over using lightness kung fu, sat behind Chu Qingzhi, and the two chased after him on the same horse.

He didn't catch up with Chu Xuhua, but he ran into Chu Xujin.

Chu Xujin was very frustrated. Seeing that the case was about to be solved, the most important murder weapon could not be determined, "Fifth Sister, Brother Jing Hong, where are you going?"

"Go after big brother." Chu Qingzhi said, "Have you met big brother?"

Chu Xujin nodded, "Meet me, brother went to the county seat and said he was looking for the Meng family, is there any problem?"

"We'll talk about it when we get back." Chu Qingzhi raised his horsewhip and followed again.

Chu Xujin looked at Ge Lihua beside him, "It feels like everyone is very busy tonight."

Ge Lihua followed the direction Chu Qingzhi and the others left, "Shall we go and have a look?"

Chu Xujin chose to follow without hesitation, "Let's go."

Chu Xuhua came to Meng's house to call the door. When he heard that it was Chu Xuhua, Master Meng immediately asked someone to open the door, and came to the front hall to entertain him, "Master Chu, this is?"

Chu Xuhua took out the fake banknote from his skirt and gave it to Master Meng, "Look at it."

Master Meng took the bank note in his hand for some unknown reason, and suddenly his expression froze, "Fake?"

"Yes, I supplied goods to ten merchants today. You gave me these banknotes. Both money and goods are paid. I blame my lack of eyesight. I didn't see it. I came to find Master Meng, not to exchange money. I mainly hope that Master Meng can see if there are any fake banknotes in his house. If so, let's find out the source together."

Master Meng nodded, "Okay, shopkeeper Chu wait a moment, I'll go and have a look."

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong walked in, "Brother."

Chu Xuhua stood up and looked at the two of them, "Sit down first, we will leave when Master Meng comes out."

"good."

After a while, Chu Xujin and Ge Lihua came in again, Chu Xujin asked puzzled, "Why did you come to find Master Meng?"

Chu Xuhua sighed, regretting that he didn't check the bank notes carefully, and the loss was so great, "I received a fake bank note."
