Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 119 The past is exposed
Lin Yanqing's eyes were sharp and he slapped the table angrily.

"The villain framed him? Who framed him? These evidences are clearly in front of you. You can tell the authenticity with just a quick check. How dare you deny it? I asked the General's Mansion to investigate these! If the General hadn't read Lin and Gu In-laws, just because you touch his daughter’s dowry, he will hand it over with a piece of paper and put the entire Liu family in jail for investigation!"

After hearing this, everyone in the Liu family remained silent and stopped defending. The General's Office actually found out about this matter. It seems that things will be hard to do this time.

Mrs. Lin looked at Mrs. Liu and felt angry and her heart ached.

"When I punished Liu Jie that day, I asked you, have you been involved in it? If so, I think your housekeeper is a hard worker and it is your first offender. I will give you a lighter punishment after making up the money. You categorically said that you have never been involved in it. ! Later, in order to cover up the crime, you made more mistakes! You deceived your father and me in every possible way! Even after the Dong Chuang incident happened, you still did not repent, shirk responsibility and refused to admit your mistakes! How can I, the Lin family, keep you?!"

Listening to the old lady's words, Ms. Liu seemed to want to divorce her. Tears of anxiety rolled down her face. She was no longer just making a show of complaining, but this time she cried sincerely.

"Mother, mother, my daughter-in-law has realized her mistake! My daughter-in-law should not have helped Liu Jie escape his guilt. At that time, my daughter-in-law did not know that Liu Jie had embezzled so much money. Mother! If you leave me in the Lin family, I will definitely change my past! I don't dare to do it again. Nothing to hide."

Lin Yanqing asked in a deep voice: "You mean, you don't know about these coins?"

Ms. Liu had just seen the certificates. Although there was a mountain of ironclad evidence that the money was stolen from the shop, there was no evidence to prove that the money was taken by her. As long as she refused to admit it, no matter what others thought, she would not be found guilty.

"Father, my daughter-in-law really didn't know about it! My daughter-in-law thought that Liu Jie was only trying to save him after spending tens of thousands of taels of money, but she didn't expect him to be so bold! He abused his power by taking advantage of my daughter-in-law's trust! The amount of money he had stolen was so huge."

Liu Jie panicked after hearing this, fearing that Lin Yanqing would believe what Liu said and convict himself, so he quickly took out a stack of paper from his arms and raised it above his head.

"Master Mingjian, although I was promoted as the chief shopkeeper by the Second Madam, all other shopkeepers can see the Second Madam. If I didn't have the Second Madam's permission, how could I dare to embezzle so much money, and how could I hide it from the Second Madam! These are the stubs that I went to Sihai Bank to write down in the morning. They record in detail the amount of silver I deposited every month and the amount of silver I took out."

Lin Song stepped forward to take the paper and handed it to Lin Yanqing.

Liu Jie continued: "The second lady asked the villain to give it to her directly after collecting the money at the shop. The villain was afraid that if something happened, the second lady would blame the whole thing on the villain like today, so the villain kept it in mind. He first deposited the received silver into Sihai Bank. He pretended to be ill several times and asked the second lady to send his confidant Liu Wu to pick it up. The villain took Liu Wu to the bank to withdraw the money in person. Both the shopkeeper and the clerk of the bank had seen Liu Wu. The master could send Someone go check it out.”

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she felt that her breathing was not smooth, and her temples were wet with cold sweat.

When Liu Shilang saw this, he stood up again and scolded Liu Jie'en for taking revenge. Because the silver was recovered by the Liu family, he was maliciously slandering him. Several members of the Liu family and Lin Siran and his son also followed suit.

Lin Yanqing ignored the drama in the hall and directly ordered Lin Song loudly.

"Go and send people to the inns and banks mentioned by Liu Jie to inquire whether this Liu Wuxian has ever paid the money and withdrawn the banknotes as Liu Jie said. Find Liu Wu and bring him here."
