Chapter 131-140

Chapter 131 Jiang Family

I heard that the prefect's wife, Cui, was the daughter of a military general. She was rough and strong-willed, but not very smart. She was deceived by the scholar Zhang who came to her house that year and insisted on marrying him.

It was with the recommendation of his father-in-law that Zhang Zhizhou was able to hold his current position.

They had been staying in the mansion for the past two days and had gotten all this information from some servants who didn't keep their mouths shut.

At this time, when Ruan He's family arrived, the courtyard was already full of prisoners. Even the officers stood there obediently, allowing Cui to stare at them.

Their whole family also stood quietly behind the other prisoners.

Cui stared at Li Jiang angrily and became outspoken, almost saying that the gold, silver and jewels were stolen by their subordinates.

"Master Li! Our master checked the treasury this morning and found that all the gold, silver and jewelry had been stolen. Such a large treasury was emptied overnight for no apparent reason. You said it was done by a thief outside, but not only does our master not believe it, I don't believe it either! Moreover... you guys are the only guests who have come to our mansion these past few days, and no one else has come."

Since early in the morning, Cui learned from Zhang Zhizhou that the entire treasury of the mansion had been emptied. She was angry and surprised, and was very upset. She concluded that the things in the treasury must have been stolen by a group of escort officials and exiled prisoners who came from unknown sources.

The reason why she believed this was simple. Most of these escorts were from the lower classes, with poor upbringing and common people. They had never seen many valuable things. Maybe they just took away all the money when they saw their treasury. In particular, they brought a large group of exiled prisoners with them, so they didn't know their details.

When the prefect Zhang saw the empty treasury early in the morning, his heart was bleeding and he felt as if his flesh was being cut. However, as a prefect, he could not make a big deal out of it and make a fool of himself in front of others because of his face.

Seeing his wife making a fuss, after all, most of the gold, silver and jewelry in the treasury came from their Cui family. Zhang Zhizhou waved his hand and let his wife go to settle the accounts with the officials.

Cui led a large group of maids, nannies, and servants and came to confront Li Jiang in a threatening manner.

The old nanny at the side couldn't help but reveal a look of disgust. Following her master's wishes, she angrily scolded them, "Our master took you in with good intentions and promised to help you catch the fugitives. I didn't expect that you would have such evil intentions just two days after entering the mansion. You emptied the treasury of our prefectural government!"

Li Jiang couldn't help being slandered for no reason. He tried to suppress his anger with his veiny face and said in a cold voice, "Since Madam suspects that we took out all the gold, silver and jewelry, there must be a place to hide all the gold, silver and jewelry. You can search as much as you want. If you find gold, silver and jewelry that shouldn't be there, we will let you deal with it. We also hope that if Madam doesn't find any, we will clear our name."
