After rebirth, dominate the courtyard

"This was not my fault, so don't blame me!" Sha Zhu argued, his words revealing helplessness.

Qin Huairu was shocked when she heard this! Could it be that this was not done by Sha Zhu, but by Bang Geng and his gang?

"Banggeng, did your teacher tell you whether you took your grandmother's money?" Qin Huairu looked at her beloved son and asked with concern.

"Mother, I didn't take the money!" Banggeng replied, confident in his own cunning plan. He was sure that no one could find the silver he hid outside the yard.

The money was not with him, and no one knew where he hid it.

Qin Huairu felt relieved after hearing this. As long as her son had nothing to do with the matter, she would have no scruples about calling the police. Sha Zhu was not a lazy person either, and he would handle the matter seriously.

At this moment, everyone in the compound gathered in front of Jia Zhang's door. The men went out to work, and most of the women and children were left at home. They had nothing to do in their spare time, and their favorite thing was to gossip.

In a short while, Sha Zhu led the yamen runners into the courtyard.

"Master Yamen, you are finally here!"

"I lost ten taels of silver and I suspect that Sha Zhu stole it. Please investigate!" Upon seeing this, Jia Zhangshi felt like she had found a savior and quickly appealed.

"What happened? Please describe it in detail!" a bailiff asked. They were no strangers to this Jia Zhang.

Sha Zhu quickly clarified: "I never took her money, she is just making a false accusation!"

At this moment, Sha Zhu felt extremely aggrieved. How could he encounter such a difficult thing?

"I see. This is easy to explain. According to what you said, the silver may have been lost somewhere else and was not noticed."

"This is also possible!" explained another yamen runner.

Jia Zhang shook her head and said, "That's impossible. My silver has always been kept close to me. It won't be anywhere else!"

Hearing this, the two yamen runners looked embarrassed and said, "Well, if it's as you said, the silver was either taken by Sha Zhu or the children took it away accidentally."

"My grandson didn't do this. I've just asked him and nothing was found on them. We've checked!" Jia Zhang denied it decisively.

"In that case, please wait a moment!"

"Let's go get something and come back later!" said a yamen runner, and then left and went straight to the yamen office.

He planned to bring out the dog in the mansion and let the dog solve the problem. The dog had a keen sense of smell, so he only needed to follow the scent to find the target.

Soon, as everyone had been waiting for, the bailiff returned to the compound with the dog.

"This is a police dog. Take out your silver and put it under its nose."

"The lost ten taels of silver should be found!" the bailiff ordered.

Jia Zhang took out the bulging money bag from her bosom and reluctantly unfolded it, which was actually just wrapped tightly with a handkerchief. The silver was exposed in front of everyone, causing a lot of exclamation!

Everyone else in the room was dumbfounded. Oh my God, so rich?

He was so rich, yet he was still crying poor every day? They thought about the past, when he had asked them for help time and again. Now, looking at the silver, he was obviously richer than them!

They were furious that this beggar was begging every day and was richer than them! So they decided not to help the Jia Zhang family anymore.

Qin Huairu's face suddenly changed when she saw that Jia Zhang had hidden so much silver! She had never expected her mother-in-law to amass so much wealth. She worked hard and had to go hungry. She felt heartbroken when she thought about it.

"Okay, that's enough!" Upon hearing this, Jia Zhang put away the silver. A yamen runner stroked the dog's head gently, and the dog seemed to understand something and immediately started searching the room.

Soon, the dog came to the stick terrier and sniffed it repeatedly. Finally, it sat down in front of the stick terrier.

Bang Geng was so frightened that he thought the dog was going to bite him, so he dared not move.

“The result is known.”

"The silver was taken by this boy, and the dog has smelled the scent in his hand." announced the bailiff.

Qin Huairu was so upset when she heard this! Banggeng was so scared that he almost cried. He never thought that the yamen runners could find him.

"The silver was taken by Banggeng? Is there a mistake?" Jia Zhang frowned. This was not what she wanted.

"No mistake. Unless you have touched this silver, your hands will not smell."

"This boy must have taken some silver, otherwise where would the smell of banknotes come from?" the bailiff explained patiently.

"Sir, my son doesn't have this silver on him. Maybe there is something wrong with the dog?" Qin Huairu said hurriedly. She did not find any silver on Banggeng just now.

"Don't worry!" A yamen runner smiled, walked towards the dog and patted its head. The dog stood up and sniffed the air with its nose.

After a while, the dog left the room and came to the door. After searching for a while, it stopped at a place and began to dig with its front paws.

When everyone saw this, they were all shocked and didn't understand what the dog meant.

Just when everyone was confused, a ten-liang silver note appeared before them.

"Look, that's ten taels of silver!" the sharp-eyed man shouted in surprise.

"Sure enough!" This scene shocked everyone.

A bailiff picked up the banknotes on the ground and walked into the house.

"Your lost silver has been found."

"It was this child who took ten taels of silver and hid it outside the door," said the bailiff.

Qin Huairu's face turned pale. After hearing this, she knew the situation was serious. Bang Geng's legs went weak when he saw this. The matter was exposed.

"You old woman, you are already old, yet you still want to frame my grandson!"

"You are so cruel and you should compensate my grandson for his loss!" When the deaf old lady saw the truth, she immediately scolded Jia Zhang.

"Pay ten taels of silver!" the deaf old lady shouted.

Jia Zhang never expected this result. She thought it was Sha Zhu who did it, but now it seems that is not the case.

Thinking of this, she felt extremely regretful that she had agreed to the unreasonable request of the deaf old lady.

"Now that the silver has been found, do we need to continue the investigation?" asked a bailiff.

"Sir, we will not pursue this matter any further!" Qin Huairu said before Jia Zhang could speak.

"Well, if there is nothing else, we will take our leave first!" Seeing that the matter had been resolved, the two yamen runners left with the dog.

After the bailiff left, Qin Huairu picked up the stick and started beating him with the stem. He was almost taken away, how could she not be anxious?

"Ms. Jia Zhang, give the money quickly. So many people are watching us!" the deaf old lady urged.

"No!" Jia Zhang took the silver and refused, even acting like a spoiled child.

"You shrew, you framed my Shazhu and went back on your word, right?" The deaf old lady saw how shameless she was and swung her stick to hit her.

Jia Zhang refused to surrender and would rather die than surrender and accept punishment than pay twenty taels of silver.

"Grandma, forget it. I don't want these twenty taels anymore.
