Everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Shi's face, watching his every move intently.
The people were all sweating for him.
This honest man, even if the money is really yours, don’t admit it!
Don’t forget how your father-in-law framed you!
Don't forget that he stole your money!
He also said just now that there is no mark on the silver, so you can't prove that the silver is yours. In the same way, he can't prove that the silver is not his!
But they had these words stuck in their throats, but they didn't dare to say a word.
Because the imperial envoy and the imperial guards stood there majestically, as well as the county magistrate.
As long as they say such things, they will be regarded as Liu Shi's accomplices.
Finally, Liu Shi touched all the thirty small silver ingots, raised his head, and a smile appeared on his honest face.
"Yes, these silvers are indeed mine," he said.
"Every ingot is."
The tone is affirmative and the expression is satisfied.
He recognized these small silver ingots, every ingot, because they were all earned with his hard work and sweat.
Every time he earned a small ingot, he would treasure it and hide it. Then he would take it out and touch it carefully every night. Although each ingot looked similar, he felt it familiarly and understood each one. The shape of the little Yuanbao was remembered exactly in my heart.
He knew where there were pits, lines, and dents.
"well!"
After listening to Liu Shi's words, the people sighed in unison and shook their heads regretfully at Liu Shi.
Still too honest!
As long as he does not admit that the money is his, Wu Shan, a bad guy, will not be able to escape the charge of colluding with Wang Yang's thieves and harboring official money.
Now that Liu Shi admitted it, the crime was transferred from Wu Shan to Liu Shi.
As for the money
The people didn't believe that it was stolen goods at all. They believed that Liu Shi would never do anything bad like colluding with the thieves.
"Haha, sir, did you hear it? Did you hear it? Liu Shi admitted it. He finally admitted that the money was his!"
Wu Shan shouted with ecstasy.
He really knew Liu Shi's character very well and knew that Liu Shi would never lie, so he deliberately used this method.
Sure enough, Liu Shi really admitted it.
"Uh!" Lin Fangyuan didn't expect things to turn out like this.
However, whether the stolen money belonged to Wu Shan or Liu Shi, it had nothing to do with Lin Fangyuan.
Now he only needs to trace the whereabouts of the remaining two hundred taels of official silver before he can report it to the imperial envoy.
"Liu Shi!" He was shocked again and asked: "Since you admit that this silver is yours, where did you put the remaining two hundred taels of silver?"
Liu Shi raised his head blankly, with a confused look on his face, and stammered: "I... I don't know."
"Bold! You have admitted that this silver is yours, how can you not know the whereabouts of the silver! It seems that I will not punish you, but you will not tell the truth!"
Lin Fangyuan threatened sternly.
Liu Shi trembled and said calmly: "The villain... The villain really doesn't know. The villain did bring back five hundred taels of silver, but the villain was drunk. When he woke up, the silver... was gone. If you want to ask about the whereabouts of this silver, you should ask the villain's father-in-law. He just admitted that he stole the villain's silver. "
