The other officers laughed, and the Shu family instantly felt very satisfied.
Didn’t she know that she shouldn’t reveal her wealth? Now that the officials knew that she had silver on her, they would only target her.
The Shu family only felt that there was a silver lining and continued to wait for Shu Yu to make a fool of herself.
Shu Yu pursed her lips and said, “I do have some banknotes on me.”
Everyone looked at her as if she was a fool. Did she admit it?
Shu Yu scratched her head. “But there’s not much left. At that time, I was suddenly arrested and didn’t have time to dig out the silver that I had hidden.”
The officer’s eyes flashed. Wait, dig it out?
Shu Yu discussed this with them. “Then what do you think? If you take care of me and send me safely to the Southwestern Land of Exile, I will tell you where I buried my silver. In any case, I probably won’t be able to return to the Dongan Province, so the silver is still there. It’s worth it if I don’t suffer too much on the road.”
The officers looked at each other. “You said it yourself. You’ll only tell me where the silver is after I send you to the southwest. What if you lied to us and the Dongan Province doesn’t have the silver you mentioned?”
“No, I’m not lying. If you don’t believe me, I’ll tell you two places. When you reach the relay station at night, you can send a message back to find those two places and dig them out. It’s only been a few days since I left Dongan Province, so I’ll be back very quickly.”
Shu Yu vowed, “Besides, even if I lied to you, I’m still a stranger in the southwest and will be alone. If you have friends over there, you can also come and settle scores with me.”
She was being very sincere.
The officers’ eyelids twitched when they heard that. Tell them two places.
The officer in the lead asked with a complicated look, “How many places did you bury them in total?”
“About twelve.”
Everyone was speechless. F*ck, people say that a cunning rabbit has three burrows. You have twelve burrows. How can you dig so well?
The officers looked at each other and felt that what Shu Yu said made sense.
If she lied to them, it would be easy for her to be exposed. Moreover, the consequences of being exposed would be much more serious than eating a dry biscuit now.
They were just curious. “Where did you get all the silver?”
This was also the question that the Shu family wanted to ask.
The eldest girl asked directly, “Did you take the Shu family’s silver?” This b*tch was using her family’s money to let her live a good life. In her dreams.
Shu Yu said, “Of course not. How can I touch the Shu family’s silver? Moreover, after the Shu family was raided, the account books were checked. If they don’t match, Lord Jing will look for me. After I escaped from the residence, I saved a person by chance. That person thanked me and gave me this money to repay me.”
The officers did not ask much. The people who tried the case were Lord Jing and the others. They were also the ones who sorted out the account books. The case had already been settled. They were so bored that they attributed the silver to the Shu family.
In any case, this money would fall into their hands in the future.
Therefore, they looked coldly at the eldest daughter of the Shu family. The latter realized that she had said something wrong and quickly lowered her head.
Only then did the officer let out a cold snort and not say anything else.
However…
“Why did you dig so many holes to put the silver?”
Shu Yu secretly rolled her eyes in his heart. Of course, it was to deal with you guys.
