A young man shocked the auction house by bidding 150,000 taels for an item, significantly higher than the current bid. When challenged about his ability to pay, he produced paper notes, which the crowd mocked until he revealed they were silver notes from the Royal Bank, each worth 10,000 taels.

Chapter 1427: Chapter 1225: The Scheme

“Not only have you not heard of it, but I also haven’t heard of it, what exactly is this bank?

How can this guy be talking nonsense?

I’ve lived for quite a few years and never heard of such a thing, and he’s talking about a Royal Bank, how does this connect to the Royal Family?

Could this be something new the Emperor has devised? But why hasn’t this old man heard of it?”

“Who knows what kind of gibberish this guy is spouting? The Royal Bank daring to associate itself with the Emperor is truly reckless.

If this matter reaches the Emperor’s ears, knowing someone is using his name for something, there would definitely be an extermination of the whole clan.”

“Exactly, this guy is not afraid of the wind slapping his tongue, haha, it’s really funny. If these pieces of paper in his hand could indeed be worth ten thousand silver taels, this old man would be willing to eat them right here.”

For a moment, this remark stirred up a great commotion, with everyone targeting this guy who spoke up, their gazes shifted to those papers in his hand,

but the tone was filled with sarcasm, meaning, without exaggeration, this guy quickly became the center of attention, everyone looked at him with disdainful eyes, the expression seemed to say this guy is just bragging.

Of course, there isn’t a phrase for this now; if there was, someone would have already said it.

But this guy, upon hearing all the skepticism and disbelief, had a barely noticeable smile on his lips, followed by a cold snort, his eyes turned to the crowd around him, with no intention of backing down.

“Everyone might not know, but I’m not talking nonsense here, it’s indeed discriminating against those who are ignorant, don’t be fooled by its simplicity, it really can be worth ten thousand silver taels,

This is not an exaggeration, just look at if it doesn’t have the ten thousand silver taels written on it, and it also bears the stamp of the Royal Bank, including the quality of this paper, which is extraordinary.

Without exaggeration, no one can counterfeit it, it’s the unique symbol of the Royal Bank and the unique silver notes, which can be exchanged freely at the Royal Bank, withdraw at any time, which saves us the trouble of carrying large amounts of silver taels around.”

As these words were spoken, the people around still appeared skeptical. But as unknowingly a potbellied middle-aged man approached him,

suddenly snatched the silver notes from his hand, which took everyone by surprise.

No one expected this guy would actually seize such a thing. However, it’s quite rare since the Emperor’s ascension, there hasn’t been a precedent for such actions. Without exaggeration, the current law and order is quite good, especially with so many people around, how could someone act so recklessly?

This made everyone’s gaze shift to the guy, but they were surprised upon seeing him, as they all knew this person wasn’t he the famous Merchant?

He’s one of the top merchants in the Capital City! Logically, he shouldn’t do such a thing.

Moreover, those are merely some papers, although the guy claims they can exchange for silver taels, no one believes it, how could such a big Merchant easily trust the guy’s words?

Precisely because of this, curious gazes gathered around, but then the Merchant abruptly spoke, and his words made everyone realized, they heard the Merchant step forward and snatch the silver notes, then observed them closely while asking,

“Hmm, this thing really bears a stamp, and the words on the stamp do indeed say Royal Bank, could this truly be issued by the Emperor?

How is that possible?

If the Emperor issued new money, it would be announced to the world, it wouldn’t be so rash, especially with money worth ten thousand per note, what would be the point of issuing such money?

Kid, are you deceiving us?

Do you know this is a capital offense, if you’re deceiving us, no one will be able to save you, no matter how merciful our Emperor is, he will not spare you.”

This action instantly made the surrounding crowd realize he wasn’t snatching but inspecting, and upon inspection, truly found something new, unexpectedly there was indeed that stamp, this stamp isn’t something easily replicated.

If this is verified as a forgery or anything alike, it’s definitely a huge mistake that’s impossible to avoid, especially in front of so many people, the consequences would be too severe, the Emperor would definitely not spare him.

But upon hearing this, the guy wore a look of mocking stupidity on his face, looking at him with a tone full of disdain.

“Let me tell you, this thing is genuine, and if you damage it, then the responsibility will be yours.”
