Because the scholar's house was exposed, the servant was forced to stay in the shop by the housekeeper, saying that he would take another money.

After returning to the room, the housekeeper said, "Because I only had 300 taels of silver in my hand, 200 taels were robbed. We can only put 100 taels in the box now."

So, in front of the servants and the rich family, the butler put the white 100 taels of silver into the box. The three people and six eyes could see clearly, and locked the outside of the box.

Then, the servant Jia Ding held the silver box and said, "The silver is locked, and there is only one seal missing. Let's go to the adults' house now."

Then, Jia Ding went to the township official's house overnight with the rich man and the housekeeper, holding the silver box.

But everyone didn't wait for the township official.

Only the young man came out from the room and passed on a message, "My lord is not feeling well."

Jia Ding said, "If that's the case, show the box to the adults. After he confirms it, just stick the seal on it."

The town official's boy entered the house with the silver box, and came out with a seal after a while, "My lord said, since everyone has seen it clearly, and the scholar's house can't put it anymore, it's better for you to keep it yourself. Bring it again."

After all, the boy sealed it up in front of everyone.

The butler untied the key and handed it to the town official's servant.

After the matter was completed, the three of them came out from the township official's house again.

Jia Ding carried the silver box and went back to the store with the rich man and the butler.

When we arrived at the store, the butler put away the cash box.

The next day, the butler wanted to sue the officials and recover the 200 taels of silver that had been robbed by the rascals.

But the young master is going to take the provincial examination tomorrow, if he delays the big event, he will be blamed!

Therefore, the housekeeper could only swallow the loss.

Wait until the day of the list.

The master and servant ran to the bottom of the list looking expectantly, but the son of the rich family still lost his name.

The rich man was very depressed.

The housekeeper sighed inwardly, and could only comfort him, "Young Master, the money is still in your hands, although the matter has not been completed. Maybe we have to pack our bags and go home quickly, lest the township officials come to ask for errand money."

Like a deflated ball, the rich man set foot on his way home sullenly.

Walking halfway, the rich man asked the craftsman to open the lock to see that there was a pile of stones inside. Where is there any silver taels?
The rich man couldn't help being angry and anxious.

In this way, he lost 300 taels of silver back and forth.

The rich man was so angry that he wanted to go back and sue the officials, but was stopped by the housekeeper, who said, "My lord, you go home first, just don't worry, I have my own way to recover it for you."

The rich family trusted the housekeeper very much, so they set off quickly to go home.

The housekeeper did not disappoint, he returned to Fucheng, hired a man with money, and dressed him up as a rich man.

The rich son will have to take the exam again in the future, if he shows his name this time, it will damage his reputation.

In this way, he had to find someone to replace his son.

After finding a good person, the steward went to the county yamen together with his fake "master" without wasting time, told the county magistrate about being cheated and robbed, and sued the township official and others.

The magistrate of the county heard the cause and effect and said, "You shouldn't do bribery in private. Both the bribery and the bribery are guilty. Besides, you were robbed by scoundrels, and sometimes the silver in the cash box turned into stones. This matter has nothing to do with What's the relationship with the township officials?"

The steward looked bitter, and said, "It is true that we did not steal the silver in the silver box of your lord. The rogue, the town official, and the servant named Jia Ding are a bunch of liars, and they are hard to guard against."

This was the only possibility that the steward could think of on the way back to Fucheng.

Seeing that the magistrate did not want to send someone to look for them, the steward said, "My lord, if you can catch them and recover the silver, I am willing to hand them over to the treasury. !"

The county magistrate thought that if he recovered it, he would have 300 taels of silver, so he immediately sent someone to find the township official, but the township official had long since disappeared.

Only now did the grandfather believe the butler's speculation, and suddenly realized, "This guy is really a liar!"

It's just that those people escaped too fast, even if the magistrate wanted to, he was powerless.

Those liars are like a needle dropped in the ocean, with nowhere to catch or fish.

Now there is nowhere to track down the gang of crooks, so the housekeeper and the "rich man" were punished with sticks and sent to their homes.

Although the butler was cautious, he was eventually deceived by the liar. However, after being deceived, he took the initiative to persuade his master to go home, leaving him to go to the government to face the reality. Although he did not recover the money, he did his best. As much as he could, he also kept his reputation as a rich man.

Also worthy of his loyalty.

If the rich man came himself, he would not be willing to do this.

Some people may want to ask, if the housekeeper randomly finds someone to replace the rich man, isn't he afraid of being discovered by an official?
In fact, this kind of person who relies on dragging his door must not have much talent, and the official does not need to test him, and it doesn't matter if he finds out or not.

After listening to the people at the next table, Ah Di said, "This group of liars are really bad. They not only robbed one, but also cheated another one."

Fu Yuanzhi extracted the key information from the words, "I'm afraid this is a trick."

"The rich family's pursuit of fame and status is too serious. Even though they have to pay a lot of money, they can't care about it. So they fell into the trap of those people, and they still don't know it."

"The one who set up the game in advance should be a man named Jia Ding, and he may have already colluded with the people from the township officials."

"Jardin's game is to turn the silver into stones, which is the process of secretly changing the box. He didn't go to the door at the same time as the others at the beginning. It should be because he was still checking the boxes of the master and servant of the rich family and prepared an identical box. and locks."

Song Huan said, "How can there be such a suitable one? What if it was bought temporarily?"

Fu Yuanzhi nodded, "That's why he has to investigate carefully. If there are ready-made ones, he can just prepare them. If not, then he has to seek help from other people."

Adi said according to his own analysis, "Since Jia Ding's plan is to exchange money, the one who robbed the money should be the town official."

Fu Yuanzhi agreed.

Why did the township official do this? There is only one possibility. He didn't want to share the money with Jia Ding.

Unexpectedly, the pair of master and servant woke up late, and even if they were aware of it, they were scattered by winning the list and immersed in the longing for the future.

Adi sighed, "The world is too dangerous, and the desires are endless!"

Spending money to enroll students and take exams, this kind of thing happens everywhere and every year.

Everywhere, there will be individuals who are deceived. Most of these people are rich and impetuous.

Someone in the front was deceived, but the people behind did not accept the lesson.

The liar later often said that this place is a good business for cheating on exams.

Just how did this guy drop the bag?
It has always been puzzling.

Obviously, the money was sealed in person and returned to the person, but when the liar left and opened it, it was full of stones, tiles, etc. Is there any "escape method"?

It is difficult for smart people to guard against such elusiveness. The only way to learn from it is to not believe these liars.

Even Tuomenzi, don't seal any money, it won't be too late if he is on the list.

And don't believe the word of mouth, after seeing the gold list three or four times, it is not too late to give the silver.

This will prevent cheating.
