People follow the crowd, and it is human nature to like to follow and imitate. After all, imitation is much simpler than creation. Just like the popular Douyin and Kuaishou in modern society, they are actually meaningless things, but they can attract people to follow them. This is the best proof.

Nearly 200 people have gathered in the largest market on the east side of Velaclus, most of whom are merchants who come here to do business. Of course, there are also some people who do "no business".

It doesn't matter who it is. When I brought a few people to the market, I was meeting Redfield and others who had withdrawn from the center of the market.

The young man from the special forces called me the boss, blinked at me, smiled with content, and then approached me and whispered: "Boss, get it done!"

I naturally know what he meant by doing it. There is no wind, no waves, and there will be wind when it comes to waves, and Redfield plays the role of wind.

Now it seems that he is still gust of wind!

Almost all the merchants in the market gathered at the gate of the Governor's Mansion, and several tall guys were already roaring loudly!

"Give us an explanation! Why do you use counterfeit coins to deceive us?" One of the guys who looked like a big guy yelled, and his saliva sprayed on the face of the guard of the Spanish Governor's Mansion opposite!

The guard looked angry and was about to speak, but was suppressed by the voice of another guy next to him!

"Three thousand two hundred silver coins, 12,800 lils! This is my income for half a year, but I was deceived by your counterfeit coins! I was deceived!" The guy with a red nose also roared loudly.

When the people behind heard this, they were immediately excited and began to crowd and yell in the direction of the guard!

The two guards were attacked and were very worried at first whether to fight back. As a result, after being besieged by a group of mobs, they had no more choice but to raise the musket in their hands and aim at the excited merchants on the opposite side!

"Retreat! Go back! Otherwise I will shoot!" The guard shouted, raised the gun again, with a vicious look on his face.

However, who is the new novice merchant who can walk in the Caribbean? The merchant opposite immediately drew his gun and pointed it at the direction of the guard!

When pointed at so many black guns, the two guards immediately panicked. One of them shouted with a stern look: "What? Do you want to challenge Spain's authority?"

The merchant opposite immediately stopped being imposing. Seeing that it was effective, the guard said to his companions in a fierce voice: "Go! Call us for someone to come, someone will cause trouble!"

Seeing that the guard was so vicious, the merchants who had already suffered aggrieved immediately became angry and even more viciously started to make trouble!

"Tait!" There were chaotic footsteps in the Governor's Office. It seemed that the guards of the Governor's Office came out to support them!

Some merchants blocking the door showed a panic on their faces. Everyone knows the unreasonable Spanish people. If they really fight, I am afraid that both sides will never die from now on! Even if they can leave here alive, they will not think about doing business on Spanish territory in the future!

The people in the Governor's Mansion came out, and there were about a dozen or twenty people, all of whom were holding muskets to standardize the merchants on the opposite side!

The confrontation became more and more intense, and the air seemed to solidify, exuding a scorching smell.

Just when neither side was willing to give in, a voice suddenly came from the crowd: "I want to use counterfeit coins to cheat people and use my power to bully people! What is this not a pirate act? Give us an explanation!"

The emotions of merchants around the outer circle immediately became excited again! Indeed, even those who come to the Caribbean to do business, even small businesses that sell iron nails will have to have several cabins at least once, and they will have to count thousands of silver coins. It is definitely not a small number, so naturally it is impossible to give up.

Some merchants with hot personalities have already pushed and shoved with the guards, and many people are clamoring for the Governor to come out and give them an explanation!

The noise became louder and louder. Later, even local merchants came over. After hearing the matter clearly, they hurried back to check their own silver coins. They were surprised to find that all the silver coins they received recently were fake!

So more and more people began to gather at the gate of the Governor's Mansion. The small door was surrounded and it was so messy! The guards nervously held the muskets, but unfortunately there were too many people on the other side, and they were afraid that they would accidentally get fire. Then they would definitely have no bones left!

Just as several people were already fighting, a man came out of the Governor's Mansion. He was not too tall, but he looked very majestic.

Many people whispered: "It's Governor Griffith!" "It's Governor!" "The Governor is coming out!"

Griffith was really depressed. He had been serving as governor of Velaclus for nearly eight years and had been in good weather. He had been in good fortune several times when he wanted to transfer himself back to China to serve as local governor, but he was rejected by himself, because he was simply greedy for the absolute power and profits here.

But who knew that there was a scandal of counterfeit coins today! How could this be possible? The mint is full of their confidants. Although - well, I did have an explanation of the weight reduction, but the ingredients are repeatedly required to pass!

Why did the counterfeit coins suddenly appear? Just when the matter began to break out, he urgently found a few silver coins, burned them with fire or other inspection methods to verify them, and found that the silver coins were indeed mixed with a large amount of white copper!

Damn it! Damn it! Griffith cursed in his heart, Griezmann, this bastard! If your aunt hadn't highly recommended you to go to the mint, how could I use you as a prodigal nephew to such a critical position!

But at this point, it seems that these complaints are meaningless! You can only solve the problem here first and then study the next solution!

When they walked to the door, the crowd of people who had a dispute saw the local supreme authority coming out, and their voices gradually calmed down.

"Yeah!" Griffith cleared his throat and focused everyone's attention on him. He said, "Everyone! Today's matter has been found out. Someone deliberately mixed counterfeit coins into our coin supply system! Please don't be nervous, things will definitely be solved successfully!"

There was a buzzing discussion in the crowd. In fact, although this was the argument Griffith asked to stabilize everyone's emotions, it was very convincing because it was indeed the speculation closest to the facts.

People's emotions gradually showed signs of calming down. After all, Spain's overseas traders have great business and would not deceive people for such silver coins, right? These merchants would rather believe that there is indeed a ghost in the middle, which was deliberately destroyed by someone, and would rather believe that the Spanish would handle the matter properly.

Just as Griffith secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thought that things were already moving in a better direction, a voice suddenly came from the deepest part of the crowd: "You are lying! I received counterfeit coins a month ago! You robbers!"

This sharp voice was like a bomb, causing huge waves in the crowd again! A month ago? It was the last trade, and there was something wrong with the silver coins at that time? Why didn't I find it?

Once the seeds of doubt appear, they will definitely take root, sprout, and grow into towering trees uncontrollably! People are excited again. Griffith frowned and asked loudly, "Which chamber of commerce are you from?"

Unexpectedly, before the person could answer, another voice came from the other direction of the crowd: "What? You dare not admit it when you use counterfeit coins to cheat people? Ask clearly whether you are ready to take revenge? Gentlemen, don't be deceived by this hypocritical liar! We have also received several issues of counterfeit coins!"

"Coax"! The merchants were suddenly disrupted, and many people hurried to their fleet, wanting to confirm the authenticity of the previous silver coins, but more people stayed, thinking that it is more important to have an explanation in person.

Tony is one of the merchants standing in the front row, closest to the Spanish guards. He and his uncle are from Barcelona. This time, he came to Velaclus to sell leather products and handicrafts, and brought the cheaper gold and silver here back to Spain.

This morning, after learning that the coins handed over to him by the business association under the Governor General's Office of Velaklus might be counterfeit coins, Tony and his uncle immediately inspected the double-column silver coins they received recently. Unexpectedly, after checking, they were indeed counterfeit coins!

The furious uncle and nephew Tony and his nephew, and brought a few friends, immediately joined the angry crowd outside the door and surrounded the Governor's Mansion!

Originally, they were not here too early and were in the middle of the crowd, but after a while, I wondered what happened, the people in front suddenly disappeared. Their uncle and nephew were already standing in the front row, facing the Spanish guards directly!

During these rounds of competition, Tony was most touched. Looking at the aggrieved, angry, and helpless expressions on the faces of the guards opposite, he was also very puzzled.

Despite its arrogant and domineering nature, the Velaclus authorities have always been fair in terms of business reputation and will not cheat people with counterfeit coins!

But the facts were in front of him, and he couldn't help but believe it. He felt that the temperature around him rose sharply several times and slowly calmed down several times. Tony, in the front row, felt like he was sitting on a crater, as if the eruption of either side would swallow him and his uncle completely!

In the recent rise in temperature, the words of both sides seem to have become much sharper. The words of both sides have deviated from the scope of rational debate, and various terms related to human reproduction have begun to appear frequently in the exchanges between both sides!

Tony felt something was wrong. He vaguely felt that things seemed not as simple as he saw in front of him. He wanted to pull his uncle away, but was pushed forward by the excited people behind him!

Tony, who was not very burly, was immediately pushed and staggered, and he actually hit the saber erected by the guards of the Spanish Governor's Office opposite!

"Puchi!" The blood donated shot out, spraying the sword-holding guards all over their faces! Tony's eyes were wide open, staring at the other party in disbelief!

The guard was also disbelief and pulled out the saber tremblingly, but unexpectedly caused heavy bleeding to Thani's wound!

"The Spanish pirates have killed people! They have killed people to steal money! They have killed people!" Someone behind him suddenly shouted when he saw this! Amid the screams of Uncle Tony and his friends, the crowd defending the Governor's Mansion was finally completely ignited!

"Repay my hard-earned money!"

"Go to die!"

"Robbers are never allowed to run rampant!"

"Roar in! Find our wealth!"

The shouts of shouts from all directions came, and the crowd who had seen blood began to rush forward in anger. The guards couldn't resist and started to fight back. For several rounds, both sides fired real fire, so the physical contact quickly turned into musket shooting!

The market at Velaclus Port was in chaos, and the chaos in the factory quickly spread to other parts of the city.

The entire port began to burn, and people's bad habits were fully revealed at this moment! There are indeed people who suffered losses due to counterfeit currency, but more players who took the opportunity to make trouble under the leadership of those who are interested!

The fire was burning, and the women and children were crying! Velaclus seemed to suddenly enter a state of war, and the situation began to become completely out of control!

At this time, I had already brought people back to my boat. I was not in a hurry to leave because I had something else, but the bustle in front of me, haha, even if it was a little interest for the Spaniards to attack Virginia!

Although the interest rate is a bit high, who cares?
Chapter completed!
