Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 83 Finding Evidence
Seeing Lin Jinyan's calm expression, Bai Yiran thought she didn't realize the seriousness of the problem.

"Yan'er, just before these two shopkeepers were dismissed, I had someone calculate the total number of falsified accounts recorded in the books within two or three months, and it was as much as 6000 taels."

Lin Jinyan nodded. She had checked these things herself after marrying her to Chu Chengyao in her previous life, so she had known about them for a long time.

"It's okay, aunt, don't get angry. Now that you have these evidences, you don't have to worry about not being able to find the mastermind. If you can find the mastermind, you can get him back."

Bai Yiran: "Well, Qing Lan's dowry is reserved for you and An'er. How can we allow others to get their hands on it? We must get it back."

Lin Jinyan smiled and said: "With my aunt helping me, it is not difficult to recover the money. Have you checked the assets under the shopkeeper's name and the assets of the family members? Is there anything wrong?"

Bai Yiran frowned and said, "Uncle Zhong also sent someone to check. The new shopkeepers have indeed added new assets to their family, and some of them have taken in concubines and purchased land."

Lin Jinyan: "Can I ask my aunt to help me find out when these properties were purchased, and get the land deeds for these properties from the government. If there is money deposited in the bank, please help me get the stubs."

Bai Yiran nodded: "I'll find it for you. What do you want to do after you get it?"

Lin Jinyan smiled and said: "Make the matter bigger and let the grandparents investigate on their own and remove the General's Mansion from this matter."

As he spoke, he carefully explained his thoughts to Bai Yiran. After hearing this, Bai Yiran couldn't help but nod in praise.

After a while, Zhou Yuexue also came to Yan Yuxuan. Bai Yiran said some polite words of praise to her, and on the pretext that there was something else in the house, he got up and left.

Lin Jinyan and Zhou Yuexue sent Bai Yiran to the door of the house. They watched Bai Yiran get on the carriage and the two sisters turned around and went back to the house.

"Sister Jinyan has become somewhat estranged from me recently."

Looking at Zhou Yuexue's smiling and aggrieved face, Lin Jinyan's eyes were cold, but there was a slight smile on her face.

He said in a brisk tone: "Cousin, I'm overthinking it. It's just that my master's recent lessons are more difficult and I don't have much time to play. I have to go back to practice piano, so I won't accompany my cousin."

"It's okay that sister Jinyan is not separated from me. It's important to practice the piano. I'll come see you another day."

Lin Jinyan smiled and nodded at Zhou Yuexue, and returned to Yan Yuxuan without saying anything.

Zhou Yuexue looked at Lin Jinyan's retreating back, her face turned cold, her eyes were full of displeasure, and she no longer looked aggrieved just now.

A few days later, Qiu Rong, who was beside Bai Yiran, came to Yan Yuxuan and told Lin Jinyan that the things had been obtained and the matter was settled.

Early the next morning, Lin Jinyan went to Songmao Hall to say hello, and after saluting and saying hello.

Lin Jinyan said with a smile: "Second Aunt, I want to take sister Wanrong out to buy some gadgets, and I also ask Second Aunt to give me some money."

Mrs. Liu smiled with a tone of love for the younger generation: "If Yan'er wants to buy something, just take it from the public school. You have to come to me personally to approve the little money."

"But Yan'er wants to buy a lot of things and needs a lot of silver. It's better to talk to the second aunt."

Mrs. Liu asked: "How much silver does Yan'er want?"

Lin Jinyan smiled and said: "1000 taels of silver."

Mrs. Liu said displeased: "1000 taels? What do you need to buy so much money?"

The old lady also said: "What does Yan'er want? You can ask the government to buy it."

Mrs. Liu: "Yes, if you need anything, you can ask the government to buy it. Yan'er, you just spent 1000 taels a few days ago. It's not that the government can't come up with the money, but you can't be so arrogant and extravagant at a young age." habit."

Hearing this, Lin Yanqing, who was drinking tea, also looked at Lin Jinyan with disapproval in his eyes.
