Tragic death and rebirth, the daughter of a general poisoned the government and the country

The middle-aged man urged in a low voice, "Hurry up, I have to go back to the mansion to report!"

The servant then reacted and quickly asked someone to move the five large boxes into the main room at the back to open and count them.

"Master Lin is quite capable. He managed to collect 100,000 taels of silver in less than ten days."

The middle-aged man glanced at the servant gloomily.

"Stop talking nonsense. You guys at Changshengpu don't have such a long tongue, do you?!"

The servant continued to smile without any concern, not taking the man's dissatisfaction seriously at all, and waved his hand casually.

"Changsheng Shop has been doing business in the capital for so many years, so you can rest assured about this."

The middle-aged man snorted coldly, glanced at the servant with disdain, and cursed him in his heart for being a slave who relied on the power of others.

He had followed Lin Minglang for many years and was the chief steward of the Lin Mansion. He had always been bossy to servants like him in the mansion, and almost all matters in the mansion had to go through his hands. Therefore, he was one of the few people who knew about the fact that the Lin Mansion owed interest on Changsheng Shop.

While the middle-aged man was staring at the old servants who were counting the silver, the smile on the servant's face faded and he glanced at the middle-aged man coldly.

It took an entire hour to count the 100,000 taels of silver, and several old servants came forward to answer questions.

"It is one hundred thousand taels of silver for sure."

The servant rubbed his eyes and yawned, then casually took out an IOU from his pocket. It was the IOU that the Lin family borrowed from Changsheng Shop at interest.

"Take it, we're even now."

The middle-aged man snatched the IOU from the servant's hand, snorted heavily, and left with a few guards.

The servant sneered coldly, turned around and walked up to the second floor of Changsheng Shop, and knocked gently on the door a few times.

"Come in."

"Manager Xue, the person has left."

Shopkeeper Xue nodded and looked at the person opposite him with an inquiring look.

"Please seal the silver. I will ask the Imperial Guards to come and get it."

After Mu Shang finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of Changsheng Shop. He had been squatting in Changsheng Shop these past few days on Nan Rongjing's orders, waiting for the people from the Lin Mansion to show up with the stolen 100,000 taels of disaster relief silver.

Nan Rongjing was able to predict this thanks to Lin Yushu's reminder.

On the day the disaster relief silver was stolen, Lin Yushu sent someone to remind him of two things.

One is that Changshengpu had lent Lin Minglang 100,000 taels of silver not long ago. Nan Rongjing certainly knew about this, but he didn't care about it. However, after Lin Yushu reminded him, he instantly understood the key.

Both are 100,000 taels, what a coincidence?

The second is the inscription of the Imperial Household Department on the official silver of the national treasury.

Nan Rongjing couldn't help but admire Lin Yushu's sharpness and wisdom. The first thing she reminded him was to give the suspect, and the second thing she reminded him was to give the direction of investigation for the evidence.

Nan Rongjing suddenly felt itchy and wondered if Lin Yushu would be willing to take up a position in the Yulin Guard...

The official silver of the Great Zhou was minted by the Imperial Household Department. Each ingot of silver was printed with an inscription, which included the minting time, place and name of the minter.

Every time the Imperial Household Department minted official silver, it was recorded in the books. After verification by Nan Rongjing, it was found that the official silver used for disaster relief this time was the silver minted in the 28th year of Yongkang, that is, two years ago, and it was the first batch of official silver in the first month of the year, supervised by Lu Ling, the deputy eunuch in charge of silver at the Imperial Household Department.

In other words, apart from this batch of disaster relief silver, there is no other silver ingot in the Great Zhou that has the words "January 17, the 28th year of Yongkang, Imperial Household Department, Lu Ling" printed on it.

That's easy.

Nan Rongjing detained officials of all ranks in the Ministry of Revenue while asking Mu Shang to lead men to guard Changshengpu.

If Changshengpu had not asked Lin Minglang to pay back the money within ten days, given Lin Minglang's old fox character, he would have waited until the matter was settled and Emperor Ming convicted Ye Shibo before running to Changshengpu to pay back the money.

Unfortunately, he didn't dare to do so. If he didn't see the 100,000 taels of silver within ten days, Changshengpu would definitely spread the news that he had borrowed money at high interest, and Lin Minglang's official career would be over.

Sure enough, on the ninth day, which was the day after Ye Shibo was arrested, people from the Lin Mansion appeared in Changshengpu.

At this moment, the steward of the Lin Mansion, who had just left Changsheng Shop, was sitting in the carriage, hurrying towards the Lin Mansion.

His mission today was to quietly return the 100,000 taels of silver to Changshengpu, so he only brought three guards with him when he went out. He sat in a shabby but spacious carriage, carrying five large boxes of silver to Changshengpu.

Fortunately, the journey was smooth and the silver was returned without any trouble. The steward breathed a sigh of relief sitting in the carriage.

Before he could finish his breath, the carriage suddenly stopped. The steward was thrown to the door of the carriage by the huge inertia and almost fell off the carriage. He got a big bump on his head. He lifted the curtain and slapped the guard driving the car on the back of the head.

"Can you drive? Are you looking for death?"

The guard was beaten and scolded but he didn't say a word, he just stared straight ahead.

The chief steward noticed something was wrong with the guards and slowly raised his stiff neck. He saw a row of Yulin guards standing in front of him. The leader was very tall, with a straight posture like a black sword. The moment he saw him, he could make him bleed to death.

"W-what are you going to do?"

Mu Shang waved his hand to the Yulin Guards behind him with a cold face, "Take him away!"

Dozens of Yulin guards behind him leaped up and surrounded the carriage. Two Yulin guards dragged the steward off the carriage like a dead dog.

"Why are you arresting me? Do you know who I am? If you dare to arrest me, Master Lin will not let you off!"

The Yulin Guard who was holding his head thought he was too noisy and stuffed the coarse linen rag used to wipe the horses in the carriage into the steward's mouth.

"Ugh..."

The powerful butler in the Lin Mansion was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat and his legs were so weak that he couldn't stand up before he even reached the gate of the Cliff Prison.

Without waiting for the punishment, the butler told out everything he knew and didn't know, and sold out Lin Minglang and his son Lin Jiang.

The next day, the Imperial Guards blocked the gate of the Lin residence and arrested Lin Minglang and Lin Jiang and put them in jail.

On the third day, Emperor Ming issued an edict that Lin Minglang, who disregarded the laws of the Great Zhou and lent money at high interest, was dismissed from his post. Lin Jiang stole 100,000 taels of disaster relief silver and fabricated false evidence in an attempt to frame Ye Shibo, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue. His crimes were so heinous that he was sentenced to immediate execution.

Shortly after Lin Jiang was executed, Lin Qingrou sat beside the old lady, pried open her mouth and kept feeding her medicine and ginseng soup.

She looked crazy and behaved strangely, with her clothes and hair disheveled. At first glance, it seemed as if the crazy Lin Yazi had come back again. The servants in the Lin residence were so scared that they dared not approach her.

"Grandma, come, take the medicine! And drink the ginseng soup, drink it quickly!"

Although the old lady could not move or speak, she could open her eyes. Her eyes were filled with fear and she kept making whimpering sounds, but she could not stop Lin Qingrou from forcefully feeding her the medicine.

The old lady was choked and started coughing violently.

"Grandmother, are you okay? You must be okay, right? You are the only one I have now. If anything happens to you, I will have no chance of turning things around. You must live well, at least until the day I marry the Fifth Prince!"

Lin Qingrou hurriedly tried to calm the old lady down. As she spoke, her eyes turned red and she began to sob.

"What should I do, grandmother? My mother is dead, my father was fired, and my brother was also executed! What should I do?"
