Old man Wang saw that Shu Lin had run home, so he didn't want to chase after him. He knew Shu Lin would not let this go easily. He thought for a while, then went home. He quickly ordered the embroidery mother and mother to pack their luggage and hide in his sister's house outside of the city for a few days.
Flowers two open, each table a branch. Meanwhile, old man Wang tried to convince the embroidery mother and daughter not to mention it for now. First, he wanted to see what had happened after Shu Lin returned home.
In this side of the house, Shulin came home with a pile of dog shit. The butler saw that Shulin's butt was covered with a pile of shit. Feeling a little curious, he came forward and asked: "Young master, have you eaten something bad?"
Shu Lin rolled his eyes at him and said, "What are you saying!?" This is dog shit! "
"Yo, you can still shit dog shit." The butler had drunk too much with Old Master Shu yesterday, and since the wine was still wet, he said this.
When Shu Lin heard this, his anger rose. He slapped the butler and said, "What did you say!? How could this young master be the one to pull it!? "
Only then did Shu Lin recount what happened to him on the way here. When the housekeeper heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Just as he was about to ask Shu Lin about something, he heard a servant girl report to them.
"Young master, butler, the lord wants to invite the two of you to the main hall. I have something to ask the two of you."
"Fine, you'll tell my dad, I'll go wash my hands after I change." Shu Lin dismissed the maidservants and left in a hurry. After Shu Lin left, the maidservant saw the dog shit on his buttocks and seemed to have thought of something. Her face blushed as she thought to herself, I thought that Young Master was so refined and refined, how could he do such a thing. From then on, everyone in the Shu Family knew that the eldest young master went out one day in a hurry without finding a latrine to hide his feces in his pants.
By this time, Shu Lin had changed his clothes and arrived at the main hall. When he reached the entrance of the main hall, he saw his father sitting at the head of the table, holding a silver ingot and carefully inspecting it.
Upon seeing this, Shu Lin hurriedly bowed to his father.
"Your son greets you, father." Although Shu Lin acted wildly outside, he did not dare to disobey his father. Every time he saw his father, Shu Lin would look at him with fear in his eyes. Thus, Shu Lin had always been very obedient at home.
"Yes." Old Master Shu nodded his head in agreement.
"I ask you, where did you get this silver?"
Master Shu said as he handed the silver ingot to Shu Lin.
Shu Lin took the silver and carefully examined it. He realized that it was the silver that Meng Liang had given him yesterday.
"Father, this was lent to us by our son. Yesterday, he returned the money to us." Shu Lin did not dare to tell his father what he had done. Even though his father would usually tolerate him having sex outside, if his father knew that he had put in so much effort and effort for a girl from a lower class family, then he would definitely not have a good time.
"Humph!" Old Master Shu saw that Shu Lin was still stubborn, so he slammed the table and said: "You're still not speaking the truth!"
Seeing how furious his father was, Shu Lin was so frightened that he dropped the silver on the ground and smashed it against his own foot. He was in so much pain that he grit his teeth and grimaced.
"Your son doesn't dare!" Shu Lin then told his father about how he found the embroidery lady, how he coaxed her to sign a fake loan, and how old man Wang bullied him.
After listening to Shulin's explanation, Master Shu pondered for a long time before pacing up and down the room. Finally, he sat on the teacher's chair and sighed, "Ah, my son, do you know where this silver came from?"
"I don't know. Father, please enlighten me." When Shu Lin saw his father in such a state, he knew that he had caused a disaster. Thus, he was extremely obedient and did not dare to speak anymore.
"The imprint on this silver tael is the special mark of the officials' warehouse silver. Not long ago, a batch of silver taels was robbed on the road. This silver taels must have been stolen goods!" "In our family, if people were to find out that we have government officials with six hundred silver taels, our family would not be able to bear the consequences!" Old Master Shu said.
When Shu Lin heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he immediately panicked.
"Father, this silver isn't ours. It was sent by the embroidery lady. Let's send it back to her!" Shu Lin said with a sullen face.
Master Shu shook his head, "It's alright. Let's quickly send this silver to the Prefecture Lord's Mansion to prove the origin of the silver. We can definitely get rid of this sin."
Both father and son made up their minds and hurriedly sent the silver to Prefect Lu. Prefect Lu was also extremely grateful to Master Shu for knowing about this. As a government official, he had to leave the Ming Lin Manor after a few years of service. Moreover, this Old Master Shu was a famous local squire.
That day, the Prefect of Ming Lin Prefecture hurriedly brought the matter to court, bringing the mother and daughter pair, Lady Zheng and the embroidery mother, to the court.
Hearing that someone had come to ask her to go to the yamen, her heart skipped a beat. She thought that Shu Lin really intended to denounce her, so the mother and daughter both went to the yamen.
Seeing the prisoner kneeling on the ground, Prefect Lu smacked the wooden log and bellowed: "You two have such big guts!"
When had the mother and daughter pair ever seen such a scene before? They were immediately scared senseless. When Prefect Lu saw this, he nodded and instructed a bailiff to place the piece of silver with the official's insignia on it in front of the two of them.
"I am asking the two of you, do you know where this silver came from?" Prefect Lu asked.
At this moment, the embroidery lady was scared silly and stammered, "This … This is... My neighbor, Uncle Wang, gave it to me. "
When Prefect Lu heard this, he nodded and thought to himself that he had scared the little girl silly.
"Someone come!" Quickly go and get old man Wang! " Prefect Lu gave an order and the constables left. Soon, they brought an old man in his fifties with a messy appearance.
Prefect Lu saw this person from a distance. His heart skipped a beat as he secretly complained.
This person was none other than old man Wang. Prefect Lu didn't know whether to laugh or to cry when he saw that old man Wang had arrived. For some reason, this old man Wang had connections with the Guangling King's Mansion, so there was no need to interrogate him today. Since old man Wang gave that silver to the mother and daughter, then there was no need to think about it. Old man Wang's silver must have been given to him by the Grand Dominance Manor. He had also lost face in public because of old man Wang.
When Prefect Lu saw this, he knew that he was almost tricked by the Shu father and son. In the end, he could only brace himself and interrogate the three of them before sending them home.
Not long after Prefect Lu returned to his residence, the father and son of the Shu family paid him a visit.
"Prefect Lu, how is the case?" Master Shu smiled and cupped his hands towards Prefect Lu.
