Chapter 114 False Accusation

It will not add up to more than two taels of silver.

Meng Nan pointed to the box and asked, "Is your lost thirty taels of silver originally packed here?"

The old lady Bai nodded: "Yes, it is installed here, all of it is here, and now it has been stolen by Bai Zhina, the cruel girl."

Meng Nan knew coldly, and threw the money box on the ground with a flick of his hand, and several strings of copper coins were thrown out.

Mrs. Bai was so frightened that her legs softened, and she fell to her knees with a thud, but her mouth was still hard: "Sir, how dare the old woman deceive the master, what the old woman said is true, please learn from it."

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

Meng Nan turned his head to Jin Guard and said, "Go and fetch the silver from the carriage."

Guard Jin hurriedly went, and when he came back, he was holding a tray in his hand, and the tray was covered with a red cloth.

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

Meng Nan said to the Jin guard: "Take thirty taels and put them in a box."

When the Bai family heard this, they were all overjoyed. Master Meng wanted to subsidize them with government money because he couldn'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 silver coins, and put one ingot inside.

The box was so small that it only filled four pieces of silver and could no longer be put in it.

"Sir, you can only put twenty taels, but you can't put it down." Jin Guard said.

It was only after a while that Mrs. Bai realized that Lord Meng asked people to put money in it, not to give her money. . .

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

"I, I, maybe I remembered it wrong, it seems that I lost twenty taels." The old lady Bai was so frightened that her usual sharp tongue became less sharp.

Meng Nan said angrily: "The evidence is already in front of you, but you are still unwilling to tell the truth. It seems that there is nothing to be tried here. Come and bring everyone from the Bai family back to the yamen. The official should have a good first trial to see how the money was lost and how much was lost."

When Liu Shi heard this, her face turned pale with anxiety, and she quickly pulled the old lady Bai and said: "Mother, I don't want to go to jail, I don't want to go, Xiaofeng can't go, he will be a high-ranking official in the future!"

Why did the old lady Bai do not know? She was also very anxious. Seeing that the catcher had already taken out the iron lock and was about to lock the person, she hurriedly knelt down and took a few steps forward, and gave Meng Nan a knock: "Sir, I admit my mistake, I was wrong."

Meng Nan raised his hand and motioned for the shop to stop quickly: "You admit your mistake? What is your mistake?"

Mrs. Bai hurriedly said: "Go back to the lord, the old woman didn't lose any money at home. It was the old woman and Zhao Lan Baizhi who were playing around, and they didn't lose any money. Really, I really don't need to go to the yamen for retrial."

"So, are you falsely accusing Zhao Lan and Bai Zhi?" Meng Nan said

The old lady Bai shook her head and waved her hand: "No, no, it's not a false accusation, it's just a joke, a joke, I didn't expect that she would invite the adults to come, I was scared in my heart, that's why I didn't dare to tell the truth. ."

The golden guard on the side said: "I don't think you are joking. You are blackmailing, making a false accusation, and breaking the law."
