The Qing Dynasty could not interfere with the issuance of paper money, so they used evil tricks and wanted to use counterfeit coins to fish out. There is no need to guess that it must be Cixi, Yi, Yihuan and other conservative schools. They wanted to train troops and seize power, but they couldn't do it without money.

The printing factory soon appeared in front of everyone, and the thick iron gate was full of workers printing money. When everyone saw that the prime minister was coming, they were so scared that they trembled and dared not move.

"Nonsense, except for one traitor, are everyone traitors? Do you want to get into prison?" After saying that, he reached out to help an elderly craftsman.

"Don't be afraid, old man, what are you responsible for in the printing factory?"

The old man never expected that he would talk to the prime minister one day, and his hands were shaking excitedly, "Prime Minister, we really didn't betray you. Old man, I swear by my ancestors, I really didn't leak the secret..."

"The printing factory is scattered in several caves. The paper mill is in the valley on the east side, and the ink is made in the cave on the north side. Now this cave is a printing workshop..."

"The final cutting work is the responsibility of the adults of the Intelligence Bureau... Although I am a master craftsman, I am only able to mix inks. Everyone in the entire printing factory is responsible for their own part, and no one knows all the craftsmanship..."

"If we want to sell it, no one wants it."

The other craftsmen also probably knew what happened and said one by one, "Prime Minister, except for the bank's shopkeepers who can access all the crafts in the printing factory, there is only Lord Yang. He is responsible for safety, and he has the right to enter all workshops..."

"We didn't pay attention before, but now something happened, we only recall that Lord Yang has always loved to inspect workshops in the past few months, and he has become much more diligent than before..."

Xiao Letian nodded and walked into the printing factory's vault, looking at the bundles of bonds and military tickets that had not been cut, and remained silent.

After a while, the criminal investigation team of the Intelligence Bureau began to report the situation. As expected, only Yang Zhi could take away all the craftsmanship in the entire printing factory.

Xiao Letian's face turned pale, "I escaped at around 4 o'clock in the morning, who found out..."

"It was discovered by the light-lit person in the morning. Although it was early at 4 o'clock, many people had already gone to the dock to buy the freshest seafood, so no one was thinking about the extra Yang Zhi..."

New gas lamps have begun to be popularized on the streets of Ryukyu, and there was no automatic ignition device in that era, so both Europe and Ryukyu had a profession called the lamplighter.

Every evening, they have to patrol the streets to light the gas lamps one by one, and to put them out one by one in the morning. This is a special profession of that era.

Yang Zhi's whereabouts were discovered by the light-lighter. When Yang Zhi boarded a fishing boat and went out to sea, the light-lighter was wondering. At four o'clock in the morning, the fishing boats that went out to sea should be rushing back to deliver fresh seafood to the city, why are there anyone going out to sea now?

But I didn't expect that it was a traitor.

At this time, General Luo Huo also rushed over after hearing the news. "Sir, General Cai Mao has taken the ship to sea. Now all possible ships in the east have sent troops to search..."

Xiao Letian shook his head, "It's not enough, absolutely not enough. They have arranged an escape long ago, so they will definitely plan their escape route in advance... It is very likely to be going south, in a direction that people unexpectedly want to escape."

This is a kind of inertia of people's thinking. When they heard that the Qing court was bribing Yang Zhi behind them, people would naturally identify the escape route in the north and the west.

But Xiao Letian didn't think so, "Don't underestimate the cleverness of the Qing Dynasty. If you can rule China for so many years, how can you be without some wisdom? Send a ship to search the south. I don't believe they can fly with wings."

Xiao Letian looked at the people around him sternly. "This incident fully proves that people will change. The loyal old brothers back then will also be defeated in the face of alcohol, sex and wealth... If our careers always rely on the loyalty of others, I am afraid that such things will continue in the future..."

"Wang Huaiyuan, starting today, it's a good idea to sort out the various rules and regulations of the Intelligence Bureau, give up the unreasonable expectation of rule of man, and don't believe that everyone is a saint... The future war will depend on intelligence more and more severely. Whoever loses the intelligence war will be defeated on the battlefield..."

"Miss Wu can discover rebellious in advance this time. Although it is a bit late, the responsibility is not on you. You have made no mistakes. From now on, the Yanzi's budget will be increased by 20% as a reward... After arranging the affairs of Ryukyu, don't go up to Beijing. Contact Chun Shisanniang first and expand the Yanzi's team together..."

"Okay, our work must continue, and our career must move forward... The printing factory will continue to work, giving you half a year to improve the process, we must ensure that the quality of the banknotes is constantly being upgraded... They can first generation process formulas, but they may not be able to steal the second generation. If you want to keep it confidential forever, you must always be ahead."

As tasks were arranged one by one, people's impetuous emotions gradually disappeared in front of Xiao Letian's calm response. The backbone of Ryukyu was not in chaos, so what were they in chaos?

Soon, the Intelligence Bureau began to search for Qing spies in the city according to the information provided by the Swallows. Many hidden and very deep fine works were dug out, and the Intelligence Bureau's prison was overcrowded for a while.

The Ryukyu navy on the sea controlled all the waterways and carefully searched every merchant ship, not even the foreign merchant ships were spared.

But unfortunately, the Ryukyu Navy is not yet capable of arguing with the British Royal Navy. For several British warships cruising Hong Kong and Shanghai, the Ryukyu old warships have no right to search.

Cai Mao and the others looked at the British frigate far south, recalling the arrogant flag verbs of the British just now, and their fists were embedded in the flesh with their nails.

"The strength is still not as good as humans. If the iron-clad ships mentioned by the Prime Minister can be equipped, I don't believe that the British can still be so arrogant..."

On the British warship in the distance, a rosewood box on the table in the captain's room was extremely delicate. When you opened it, you saw that it was full of golden bars.

A full thousand taels of gold were placed in front of the captain. No wonder he would take a private goods with three Chinese people like chickens.
