“Aren’t they government official? How come they are here in our Huangtou Village?”
“Yes, they are, did someone in our village who committed a crime?”
“It seems they are heading towards Hu Changlin’s house!”
“Oh, I know, it must be about the Bai Family losing their money. This morning, Old Lady Bai took her family members to Hu Changlin’s house, saying that Bai Zhi and Zhao Lan stole their 30 silver coins. They want the mother and daughter spit out the money. Otherwise, they will go to jail.”
“This must be a joke. When Zhao Lan and Bai Zhi left the Bai Family, everyone was watching. Everyone saw that they didn’t even take a decent cloth. How did the Bai Family even got themselves 30 silver coins? The Bai Family has always been so poor, so how can they have 30 silver coins?”
Doctor Lu, who suddenly pop up of nowhere said: “They still owe me 4 silver coins, if they really have 30 silver coins, then I will start writing my words upside down.”
“Let’s go, let’s go and see how will this story goes.”
The villagers headed to Hu Changling’s house.

The carriage stopped outside the Hu Family’s courtyard. In the courtyard, Old Lady Bai and Mrs. Liu stopped screaming after hearing horses footsteps. The Bai Family turned around and looked at the gate.
Outside, they saw two people wearing government official’s uniform and has a long sword on their waist. They were riding on a horse and looking at them.
“Is this Hu Changlin’s house?” The Bai Family immediately shivered in fear, when they heard a majestic voice of the government official.
Hu Changlin immediately came forward and smiled: “Yes, Daren. I am Hu Changlin.”
The carriage’s curtain was pushed to the side, as Meng Nan was about to go down. The coachman immediately prepared the footstool.
“This is Magistrate Meng, he specifically visits here to solve this case.” Jin Shiwei gets down from his horse and stood by Meng Nan.
The next moment, the curtain was pushed to the side again. This time, Bai Zhi’s figure appeared in front of the carriage. She looked at the Bai Family with a blank face, but her eyes were as sharp as a knife. As if it was ready to stab the Bai Family anytime.
The Bai Family shivered again.
Meng Nan took a few steps closer to the courtyard and stand in front of the Bai Family, then softly asked: “Who lost the silver coins?”
Old Lady Bai stayed silent, but her legs were shivering and she became speechless.
Mrs. Liu also loses her prestige from earlier, she cannot open her sharp mouth and utter a word.
When Meng Nan saw no one was answering, he looked back and said: “Didn’t you say someone lose silver coins?”
Bai Zhi came forward and pointed her finger to Old Lady Bai and her family members: “It’s them. They suddenly came and visit us last night, saying that I and my Niang stole their 30 silver coins. Although I and my Niang are poor, we are not the kind of person, who will do such a thing. Since they were falsely accusing us, I specifically asked Daren to solve this case fair and square.”
Meng Nan snorted and turned to look at the old lady again: “Is this true? Did you really lose 30 silver coins?”
Old Lady Bai was regretting it, but now that the situation became like this, she couldn’t back down anymore. She could only bite the bullet: “Yes, our family did lose 30 silver coins. They were stolen by these two sluts, Bai Zhi, and Zhao Lan. Aside from them, who else could it be?”
Jin Shiwei’s face became cold and said: “Speak well, you don’t need to curse people.”
Old Lady Bai was so scared and almost kneel when her knees soften. Fortunately, Mrs. Liu helped her in time.
Meng Nan opened his mouth and asked another question: “You said they stole your money, do you have evidence?”
“Aren’t they government official? How come they are here in our Huangtou Village?”
“Yes, they are, did someone in our village who committed a crime?”
“It seems they are heading towards Hu Changlin’s house!”
