A guide to getting rich

Chapter 112 False accusation
The sum will not exceed two taels of silver.

Meng Nan pointed to the box and asked, "Was your missing 30 taels of silver originally stored here?"

The old lady Bai nodded: "Yes, it's here, it's all here, and now it's all stolen by Bai Zhina—a cruel girl."

Knowing coldly, Meng Nan threw the money box on the ground with a wave of his hand, and the few strings of copper coins inside were thrown out, "You still refuse to tell the truth, you really don't cry when you see the coffin."

The old lady Bai was so frightened that her legs went limp, and she knelt down on the ground with a plop, but her mouth remained firm: "Master, how dare the old woman lie to your lord, what the old woman said is true, please learn from me."

Meng Nan nodded: "Okay, the official will give you this opportunity to learn from today."

Meng Nan turned to the Jin guard and said, "Go get the silver from the carriage."

Guard Jin hurried to go, and when he came back, he was holding a tray in his hand, and the tray was covered with a piece of red cloth.

Meng Nan tore off the red cloth, revealing twenty ingots of silver neatly placed on the tray, five taels for one ingot, 100 taels for a total of twenty ingots.

Meng Nan said to Jin's guard, "Take 30 taels and put them in a box."

When the Bai family heard this, they were all elated. Is Master Meng trying to subsidize them with government money because he can't solve this case?

The golden guard handed the tray to the catcher behind him, then bent down to pick up the box on the ground, took six ingots of silver, and put one ingot inside.

The box was too small, and after only four ingots of silver were put in, it was full and could no longer be put in.

"My lord, I can only put 20 taels, I can't put it down anymore." Jin Shiwei said.

It was only now that the old lady Bai realized that when Mr. Meng asked people to put money in it, he didn't mean to give it to her. . .

Meng Nan sneered: "Your money box can hold up to 20 taels of silver, but why did you lose 30 taels of silver?"

"I, I, maybe I remembered wrongly. It seems that I lost 20 taels." The old lady Bai was very frightened, and her usual sharp tongue became less sharp.

Meng Nan said angrily: "The evidence is already in front of you, but you still refuse to tell the truth. It seems that there is nothing to be interrogated here. Someone will bring all the members of the Bai family back to the yamen. The officials should conduct a thorough trial to see how and how much money was lost."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu turned pale with anxiety, and hurriedly pulled the old lady Bai and said: "Mother, I don't want to go to jail, I don't want to go, let alone Xiaofeng, he will be a high official in the future!"

Old lady Bai didn't know why, she was also very anxious, seeing that the policeman had already taken out the iron lock and was about to lock him up, she hurriedly knelt a few steps forward and kowtowed to Meng Nan: "My lord, I admit my mistake, I was wrong."

Meng Nan raised her hand, signaling the shop to stop quickly: "Are you admitting your mistake? What mistake are you admitting?"

The old lady Bai hurriedly said: "My lord, the old woman didn't lose any money at home. It was the old woman who was playing around with Zhao Lan Baizhi. She didn't lose any money. Really, really, there is no need to go to the Yamen for retrial."

"So, you are the one who falsely accused Zhao Lan and Bai Zhi?" Meng Nan said
The old lady Bai shook her head and waved her hands: "No, no, it's not a false accusation, it's just a joke, just a joke, I didn't expect that she would invite you here, I was scared, so, I didn't dare to tell the truth .”

The Jin guard on the side said: "I don't think you are joking, you are blackmailing, falsely accusing, and breaking the law."
