"Ha, it must be that when no one was at home, the residents of the compound took advantage of the situation and broke in, and took away ten taels of silver without permission!" Jia Zhang sneered, with a sinister tone in her words.

To steal her money is to take her life!

"We can't let this matter rest here. I will definitely report this to the authorities!"

"In my opinion, Li Aimin behaved strangely in the compound. Maybe he was the one who did this!" Jia Zhang's words were full of sarcasm.

Qin Huairu explained helplessly: "Mother-in-law, Li Aimin's family is rich, how could he have done that?"

"Hmph, Qin Huairu, if what you said is true, then this money was probably taken by you, right?" Jia Zhang stared at Qin Huairu and said coldly.

Qin Huairu was speechless when she heard this. She had nothing to do, so why would she steal her own relatives' money?

Jia Zhang glared at Qin Huairu, then went straight to Liu Haizhong to argue. This matter was serious, and she needed Liu Haizhong to be fair.

At this time, inside the house——

Liu Haizhong was constantly blamed by his wife.

"This time Jia Zhang has gone too far. She is simply lawless. She is capable of doing such a thing!"

"Especially you, you asked so many people in the compound to testify for Jia Zhang. Now you have offended them all at once!" Aunt Er looked at Liu Haizhong with a bad tone.

At this moment, Liu Haizhong was also feeling very depressed.

In this matter, he shouldn't have asked people in the compound to speak for Jia Zhang.

What's more, Jia Zhang didn't even say a word of gratitude afterwards.

Especially since Jia Zhang was coveting her two granddaughters, people in the compound had long since lost their patience with Jia Zhang.

Just as Liu Haizhong was frowning, there was a knock on the door.

After opening the door, Liu Haizhong saw the figure that annoyed him - Jia Zhang.

He frowned and asked, "What's the matter? Just say it."

When Jia Zhang saw Liu Haizhong, she immediately showed her grievance: "My family's silver was stolen, please help me get justice."

At this moment, she was very humble, just because she wanted to ask a favor of the old man in front of her.

Of course, if Mr. Yi could solve the problem, she wouldn't have to kowtow to him.

However, Jia Zhang did not expect that her behavior had already broken their hearts.

"Lost property? You should ask the constable for help in this matter!" Liu Haizhong said impatiently when he saw that it was this matter.

Then, without waiting for Jia Zhang's response, he slammed the door shut, leaving only Jia Zhang outside.

Jia Zhang was stunned for a moment, then became furious.

"Uncle Yi, are you going to ignore this matter? Okay, I'll report it to the police!"

"Just wait and see whether this compound will be embarrassed or not!" Jia Zhang cursed, pointing at the gate in Liu Hai's eyes.

Originally, Jia Zhang was planning to find Liu Haizhong to resolve the matter first.

If Liu Haizhong can handle it and find the thief, she might even be able to threaten to call the police and make the thief pay the price.

But she also knew that this must have been done by someone in the compound.

Now seeing that Liu Haizhong was unwilling to intervene, Jia Zhang was deeply irritated.

After scolding a few words, she went straight to the nearby government office to report the case.

Jia Zhang still believed in the ability of the government.

Soon, many yamen runners came into the compound!

When the people in the compound saw this scene, they immediately became curious.

What happened in the compound? Why did so many yamen runners come?

Is there new evidence in Jia Zhang’s human trafficking case?

When everyone thought of this, their hearts tightened.

This is not a good thing for them, as it means they may be suspected of harboring a criminal.

......

Suddenly, the ladies who had previously testified on behalf of Jia Zhang became nervous.

Soon, people in the compound were called out, and Li Aimin also watched from the side.

A yamen runner saw that everyone in the courtyard had arrived and said:

"Our main purpose of this trip is to deal with the matter of Jia Zhang's lost silver."

When the people in the compound heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief. They had originally thought it was a case of human trafficking, but now it seemed that was not the case.

This is great news for them!

"Mrs. Jia Zhang lost some money?"

"Who knows? After her son died, there were so many problems. It's really worrying!"

"Indeed, it's really pitiful for Qin Huairu to have such a mother-in-law."

"Yes, Qin Huairu is so unlucky!"

When everyone heard this, they began to discuss quietly...

......

"When I left home this morning, there was no shortage of silver at home. I just counted it and found that there were ten silver taels missing!"

Jia Zhang said with a hint of grievance.

These ten taels were a huge sum of money for her, as Qin Huairu only gave her three taels of money for her retirement every month.

This is equivalent to three months' pension.

When she thought of this, Jia Zhang felt very uncomfortable.

"I hope you can help the investigation by writing down what you have been doing during this period, so that we can solve the case."

A yamen runner said.

The people in the compound did not shirk their responsibility and were quite cooperative.

After all, this matter has something to do with them.

If they don't cooperate, they might be mistaken for thieves, which would not be a good thing for them.

Soon, after an hour of investigation, the yamen runners set their sights on Qin Huairu's child!

Banggeng had never seen such a scene before, and Kuihua and Xiaodang were also quite scared.

"Little boy, did you steal your grandma's money?" a yamen runner asked Banggeng with a smile.

At this time, Bang Geng's legs were shaking with fear.

He was frightened by being stared at by so many yamen runners.

"Uncle police, I took the money, I didn't steal it!"

Bang Geng said this tremblingly, and took out the unspent silver from his pocket.

When Jia Zhang saw that her beloved grandson had stolen her money, she hurriedly took the unspent silver.

"This is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!" Jia Zhang explained with a smile on her face. She didn't expect that the person who stole her money this time was her precious grandson.

Qin Huairu, who was standing by, felt a sinking feeling in her heart when she saw this.

In this day and age, stealing will result in jail time!

"Misunderstanding? I have already reported it to the police. He has violated the law. He must be properly educated. Otherwise, if he steals when he is young, won't he be even worse when he grows up?"

A yamen runner looked at Banggeng and gave him a lecture.

When Banggeng heard this, he was so scared that he burst into tears.

He just took a few things from his grandmother, but he didn't expect it to cause such a big fuss.

Unexpectedly, such a thing would attract the yamen runners to the door.

"This was purely an accident. The child is ignorant. Please teach him better in the future!"

At this time, Sha Zhu came forward and said quickly...
