In a pawnshop in Jiaxing, a few servants came one day, dressed in neat robes and accompanied by a few young attendants. When they entered the shop, they first asked how much silver was in the shop. The pawnbroker said, "If you want to pawn something, you can do as much as you want, you don't need to ask about our assets." The men carried into a box full of gold products, which were dazzling and valued at 10,000 taels of silver. They said, "This is something from a certain manor, because the master is in urgent need of money and wants to mortgage 3,000 taels."

The people in the pawnshop knew a certain mansion, so they pawned the tickets and exchanged the money and goods. After these people left, they carefully checked and found that these things were all silver-plated, and it was too late to catch up. The pawnshop stipulated that anyone who received a counterfeit loss had to share the compensation with the person responsible for the transaction. This time the loss was too much, and even if several parties did not receive a penny, it would take ten years. And in that case, how could the family support itself? Everyone was stunned and helpless.

The shopkeeper came out and was very worried when he saw this situation. Thinking that the liar would definitely not come to redeem, he had a plan in his heart. He asked everyone to keep quiet, and made another pawn ticket and quietly threw it on the road, hoping that there would be greed to redeem it, so that the scourge could be blamed on others.

In the morning, someone went to the market and found a fake pawn ticket. Seeing that the amount of money was so large, the collateral must be very expensive, so he wanted to redeem it for a profit. Unfortunately, the family had no money, so he found relatives and friends to add up. Relatives believed in his usual character and promised to borrow money. Someone and his relatives and friends first came to the shop with the pawn ticket to inquire, and they had to open the box for inspection. The pawn shop said, "The redemption period is only two days. Since you are here, do you want to redeem it?" Someone said yes.

The pawnbroker opened the box for him to see, and tried his best to declare the value of these things. When someone went back, he raised three thousand taels of silver, plus interest, to redeem these things. Then he took them to the big city to sell them, but they all turned out to be fake. He cut it open and verified that it was silver inside and wrapped in gold, which was worth a hundred taels together. Someone wanted to get rich with this, but he went bankrupt and couldn't repay the loan. He cried and went home. The next morning, he wandered by the river, ready to throw himself into the water.

Suddenly a man came over and asked him, "Are you the one who ransomed the fake gold?" Someone asked back, "How did you know?" The person who came said, "I know by looking at you. Don't cry, go home immediately, take all the fake gold with you and follow me, and you will definitely get your money back. I am waiting for you here, but don't let others follow." Someone thought, it is better to see what the other party is going to do if you are dead on the left and right. He went home and got something. The person who came took him on a small boat, walked all day and night, and went ashore to a luxurious mansion. A few people came out, the same people who went to be the things. After inspecting the items, they said to someone, "I have caused you a lot of trouble!" Arranged for food and drinks, kept it for a few days, then gave him the full amount of money he lost, and sent him the travel expenses to go home.

A few days later, a few of the servants who came to be counterfeited went to the pawnshop again, took out the pawn tickets, and wanted to redeem the goods. The people in the shop were shocked, and the owner had no choice but to compensate tens of thousands of taels of silver, and even went bankrupt. The owner said to the guys, "I pitied you, so I designed to put the blame on others. Who knows that dismantling your own pawnshop is really retribution!" There was no other way but to sigh and regret.

A year later, a pawnshop in Jinling also encountered the same thing and received fake gold. The owner said to the crowd: "I heard that a pawnshop in Jiaxing wanted to put the blame on someone else, but it suffered a big loss. Then, secretly asked a goldsmith to make a batch of imitations, the weight is exactly the same.

A month later, the imitation was made, and the owner said to everyone: "This batch of counterfeit goods I received can almost be messed up and circulated, and I don't know how many people will be hurt. It was agreed that one day, all the colleagues would be invited to watch it, and then the fake gold utensils they made would be melted down at the Temple of Salvation. All the merchants didn't know it was a plan, and they all promoted it.

After the liar heard about it, he had the intention of blackmailing again and took the pawn ticket to redeem. The pawnbroker pretended to be panicked and delayed, and the liar repeatedly asked for compensation. At this time, the store carried out the fake gold from behind, and the liar checked it again and again, and had to redeem it according to the price.
