Because the scholar's family was exposed, the servant was forced to stay in the store by the housekeeper, saying that he would get another amount of money.

After returning to the room, the housekeeper said, "Because we only had three hundred taels of silver in our hands, and we were robbed of two hundred taels, we can only put one hundred taels in the box now."

So, in front of the servants and the rich family, the steward put a hundred taels of silver into the box. The three people with six eyes could see it clearly, and he put a lock on the outside of the box.

Then, the servant Jia Ding held the silver box and said, "The silver is locked, all that's missing is a seal. Let's go to your master's house now."

Then, Jia Ding, carrying a box of silver, arrived at the village official's home together with the rich man's son and the housekeeper overnight.

But everyone did not wait for the township official.

Only the boy came out from the inner room and said, "My lord is not feeling well."

Jia Ding said, "In that case, just show the box to the adult. After he confirms it, just put the seal on it."

The village official's boy came into the house with the silver box and came out soon with the seal, "My lord, since everyone has seen it clearly and the scholar's family can't put it away anymore, it's better for you to keep it yourself until the matter is done."

Bring it again."

After that, the boy sealed it in front of everyone.

The housekeeper unlocked the key and handed it to the village official's boy.

After the matter was completed, the three people came out of the township official's house again.

Jia Ding carried the silver box and returned to the store with the rich man and the butler.

When we arrived at the store, the butler put away the cash box.

The next day, the housekeeper wanted to sue the officials and get back the two hundred taels of silver that had been stolen by the scoundrels.

But the young master will take the provincial examination tomorrow. If the important event is delayed because of this, he can't absolve himself of the blame!

Therefore, the housekeeper could only accept the loss.

Wait until the day the results are released.

The master and the servant ran to the bottom of the list with anticipation, but the rich man still fell behind.

The rich man was extremely depressed.

The housekeeper sighed secretly and could only comfort him, "Although the matter has not been completed, sir, the money is still in your hands. We may have to pack our bags and go home quickly, lest the township official comes to ask for money for running errands."

The rich boy was like a deflated rubber ball, embarking on his way home gloomily.

Halfway through, the rich man asked the craftsman to open the lock and take a look. There was a pile of stones inside. Where was the silver?

The rich man couldn't help but feel angry and anxious.

After this calculation, he actually lost three hundred taels of silver.

The rich man was so angry that he wanted to go back and file a lawsuit, but the housekeeper stopped him and said, "Sir, you go home first, don't worry, I will find a way to recover it for you."

The rich man trusted the housekeeper and quickly set off home.

The steward did not live up to his expectations. He returned to the capital and spent money to hire a man and disguised him as a rich man.

Rich people will have to take the exam again in the future. If they show up in public this time, it will be harmful to their reputation.

So, he had to find someone to replace his son.

After finding a good person, the housekeeper wasted no time and went directly to the county government office with his fake "master" to tell the county magistrate about being deceived and robbed, and sued the township officials and others.

After hearing the cause and effect, the county magistrate said, "You shouldn't do bribery in private. Both the briber and the briber are guilty. Besides, you were robbed by scoundrels, and sometimes the silver coins in the silver box turned into stones. This matter has something to do with it.

What does it have to do with the township officials?”

The butler looked bitter and said, "It is true that the silver in your silver box turned into stone was not stolen by us. The scoundrels who robbed the silver, the village official and the servant named Jia Ding are a group of swindlers. They are so impeccable that it is difficult to detect them."

This was the only possibility that the housekeeper came up with on the way back to Fucheng.

When the housekeeper saw that the county magistrate did not want to send people to look for them, he said, "Sir, if you can catch them and recover the silver, I am willing to hand them over to the officials and put them in the treasury. Even if I am punished heavily and I am guilty of the same crime as these liars, I am willing to do so."

!”

The county magistrate thought that he would have three hundred taels of silver if he recovered it, so he immediately sent people to find the township official, but unfortunately the township official had long since disappeared.

Now the grandpa believed the butler's speculation, suddenly realized and said, "This guy is indeed a liar!"

It's just that the gang escaped too fast, and even if the county magistrate had the intention, he would be unable to do so.

Those liars are like a needle dropped in the ocean, with nowhere to catch or fish it out.

Now that there was nowhere to track down the group of swindlers, they punished the housekeeper and the "rich boy" with a cane and sent them home.

Although the housekeeper was cautious, he was still deceived by the scammer. However, after being deceived, he took the initiative to persuade his master to go home, leaving him alone to go to the government to face the reality. Although he did not recover the money, he still managed to get it back.

He did what he could and at the same time kept his reputation as a rich man.

He is also worthy of his loyalty.

If the rich man himself came here, he would not go to this extent.

Some people may want to ask, if a housekeeper randomly chooses someone to replace a rich man, won't he be afraid of being discovered by an official?

In fact, this kind of person who relies on being a dragster definitely doesn't have much talent. There is no need to test him as an official. It doesn't matter if he is discovered or not.

In the tea shed

After listening to the people at the table next to him, Adi said, "This group of liars is really bad. Not only did they rob one thing, but they also deceived another one."

Fu Yuanzhi extracted the key information from the words, "I'm afraid this is a trick."

"The wealthy family's pursuit of fame and status was too serious. Even though they had to pay a lot of money, they couldn't care about it, so they fell into the trap of those people without even noticing it."

"The person who took action in this matter should be a man named Jia Ding. He may have colluded with people from the township official's family."

"Jardin's game was to turn silver coins into stones, which was the process of secretly changing boxes. He didn't come to the door at the same time as the others at the beginning. He was probably still checking the boxes of the rich master and servant, and prepared an identical box.

and lock."

Song Huan said, "Where can I find such a suitable one? What if I bought it temporarily?"

Fu Yuanzhi nodded, "That's why he has to investigate carefully. If there is something ready-made, he can just prepare it. If not, then he has to seek help from others."

Adi said according to his own analysis, "Since Jia Ding's plan is to exchange money, the person who steals the money should be the township official."

Fu Yuanzhi agreed.

There is only one possibility why the township official did this. He did not want to share money with Jia Ding.

Who knows, this pair of master and servant woke up late, and even if they were aware of it, they were defeated by winning the ranking and being immersed in the longing for the future.

Adi sighed, "The world is too sinister and our desires are endless!"

Paying money to support students to enter school and take exams happens everywhere and every year.

There will be individuals in every place who are deceived. Most of these people are rich and impetuous.

Some people in the front were deceived, but those in the back did not accept the lesson.

This liar later often said that this place was a good business for cheating people to take exams.

Just how did this guy drop the bag?

It's always been puzzling.

Obviously the money was sealed in person and returned to the person, but when the scammer left and opened it, it was all stones, tiles, etc. Is there any way to "escape the money"?

It's hard for even smart people to be wary of people who are so mysterious. The best way is to learn from them and not believe in these scammers.

Even if you are a Tuomenzi, you don't need to be awarded any silver medals. It won't be too late until you are on the list.

And don't believe your word. It's not too late to give money after seeing the gold list three or four times.

This will prevent fraud.
