The Yamen has been very busy recently, and has been receiving reports one after another, all of which are about fraud by the Yushi Mansion.

They paid for Zhuangzi's shop and were about to receive the goods when they were stopped one by one by the Lin family.

So the people from the yamen carefully read the contracts. They were all white contracts, and they were all stamped with the seal of the old lady of the Xiao family. In short, these contracts were invalid, and these Zhuangzi shops belonged to the Lin family's property.

Since it is the property of the Lin family, the Yamen has to go to the Lin family to verify it.

If the Lin family agrees to sell these properties, there won't be much of a problem. At most, there will be one more process, replacing the white deed with a formal red deed, and completing the procedures to avoid being criticized in the future.

But when the Yamen arrived at General Lin's Mansion and met Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Lin said that the Lin family was not so poor that they would sell off their property and let the Yamen investigate closely.

Since the Lin family did not agree to the sale, the Yamen had no choice but to go to the Yushi Mansion in accordance with the law.

When the people from the Yamen went to the Yushi Mansion to see Mrs. Xiao, the old lady had already finished packing her things and was going back to Xijiang tomorrow.

"Mrs. Xiao, there have been constant complaints in the Yamen today and recently. You are suspected of fraud and selling off property that is not your name." The person who took the right person to the Yushi Mansion was the newly appointed Chief Cao. When he saw the old lady, he got straight to the point.

The old lady didn't say anything, but Mrs. Zheng next to her said angrily: "It's full of nonsense, shut up your dog mouth, what is fraud? Those are the property of the Xiao family, the dowry of the Lin family, but the Lin family has been dead for a long time, those things It belongs to the Xiao family."

"Second Madam, before you speak, you must learn to respect me first. Although I am a policeman, I also work for the court. If the dowry brought with you is exchanged for a red deed in the yamen, you can buy and sell it freely. But now the buyer has nothing in his hands. The contract is signed, so they all belong to the Lin family." Cao Captou said displeased.

Mrs. Xiao said gently: "Okay, I will communicate with the Lin family, and all the money from the sale will go to the Lin family. I don't want it, but something happened to my granddaughter Xinyun recently, and I am uneasy, so The matter was not dealt with in a timely manner.”

"It's good that the old lady knows how to communicate. There are too many people going to the Yamen to complain now. They have spent their life savings, real money and silver, and can't get Zhuangzi's shop. The old lady can either pay double compensation to the buyer, or go to the Lin family to communicate and make the transaction legal." , the buyer will get Zhuangzi's shop, otherwise the buyer will continue to make trouble and sue the emperor, which will be troublesome."

Captain Cao saw the packed baggage in the house and said, "The old lady is not allowed to leave Kyoto without permission before the case is concluded."

The old lady suddenly turned black: "What do you mean? I already said that I would communicate with the Lin family and get things done. You just said you wanted me to double the compensation, and now you told me not to leave Kyoto. So I am a criminal?"

Capt. Cao smiled unknowingly: "Old madam, let's communicate first. Until communication is completed, nothing can be said. We will come again tomorrow."

After speaking, Cao BaTou led the team away.

Mrs. Xiao's eyes were full of coldness: "General Lin and his family have just come back, how can they know about the store? The contract was just signed, why did someone immediately go to the Yamen to file a complaint?"

"Then what should I do? I've already taken the money, do I have to give it back?" Zheng asked worriedly.

"Call your brother over and I'll ask him to negotiate with the Lin family," the old lady said.

"What's the use of my brother going there? Everyone in the Lin family probably hates him. How can they listen to him?" Zheng continued.

"Let him communicate first and delay for a while. We will leave later. We can't wait any longer."

Mrs. Zheng called Xiao Yushi over according to the old lady's instructions.
