Add up to no more than two taels of silver.
Meng Nan pointed to the box and asked: "Your thirty taels of silver were originally stored here?"
Granny Bai nodded: "Yes, it's just installed here, it's all here, and now it's been stolen by Bai Zhi's cruel girl."
Meng Nan knew it coldly, and threw the money box on the ground with his hand, and several strings of copper inside were thrown out. "Up to now, you are still reluctant to tell the truth. You really didn't see the coffin without weeping."
Old lady Bai softened her legs and fell on her knees with a plop, but her mouth was still hard: "My lord, how dare an old woman deceive an adult? What the old woman said is true, so please be clear."
Meng Nan nodded: "Okay, the official will give you this opportunity to learn from you today."
Meng Nan turned to the guard Jin and said, "Go and fetch the silver in the carriage."
The guard Jin hurried to go, and when he came back, he was holding a tray with a red cloth covering it.
Meng Nan pulled off the red cloth, revealing twenty silver ingots neatly arranged on the tray, five or two, one hundred and two, a total of twenty ingots.
Meng Nan said to the Jin guard: "Take thirty taels and put them in the box."
When the Bai family heard this, all of them were enraged. Lord Meng couldn't solve the case, so he wanted to use the government's money to subsidize them
The guard Jin handed the tray to the catcher behind him, then bent over and picked up the box on the ground, took six silver ingots, and put one ingot in it.
The box was too small, and it was full with only four silver coins, and could not be put in anymore.
"My lord, I can only put twenty taels, and I can't put it down anymore." Jin guard said.
Only then did Mrs. Bai realize that Master Meng asked her to put money in, not to give her the money. . .
Meng Nan sneered: "You 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." Old lady Bai was very frightened, and her always agile tongue became less agile.
Meng Nan said angrily: "The evidence is already in front of you, but you are still not willing to tell the truth. It seems that there is nothing to be found here. Come here, bring all the officials from the Bai family back to the yamen, Ben The officer must take a good trial and see how and how much the silver was lost."
When Liu heard this, his face paled in anxiety, and he hurriedly pulled the old lady Bai and said, "Mother, I don't want to go to jail, I don't want to go, even Xiaofeng can't go, he will be a high official in the future!"
No matter how old Mrs. Bai didn't know, she was also very anxious. Seeing that the arrester had already taken out the iron lock and was about to lock people, she hurriedly knelt forward a few steps, and banged her head towards Meng Nan: "My lord, I admit that I was wrong. I admitted wrong."
Meng Nan raised his hand and motioned to the shop to stop quickly: "You admit your mistake? What's your mistake?"
The old lady hurriedly said, "Going back to the lord, the old woman didn't lose any money at home. It was the old woman and Zhao Lan Baizhi playing around. They didn't lose a single piece of money. Really, there really is no need to go to the yamen for retrial."
"So, did you lie about Zhao Lan and Bai Zhi?" Meng Nan said
Granny Bai shook her head and waved her hand: "No, no, no, it's not a false accusation. It's just a joke or a joke. I didn't expect that she would invite you to come. I was scared in my heart. That's why I didn't dare to tell the truth. ."
The guard Jin on the side said: "I don't think you are joking, you are blackmail, false accusation, and illegal."
