Unexpectedly, this girl has not seen her for a month, but she has grown so fast.

Seeing that she was almost unsteady, Old Lady Su looked left and right, and ordered Wutong to carry the person to the side hall.

After the two of them sat down and Wutong retreated, Su Huaining said, "Grandfather, I remember seeing in a historical record that the imperial court asked the people to work and pay for silver, and there would be receipts and people who wanted to use the silver to sign and draw the pledge, and my father was responsible for repairing the road to Mingyangshan and paying the silver to the other party, so there should also be a receipt and a document to sign the pledge, right?" ”

"Yes, however, after the case came out, those documents were transferred by the yamen, and the signature on the document may not be effective, if the following people come out to testify that it was forced by your father to sign and draw, that document will not only not become favorable evidence, but will also become the key evidence to prove your father's guilt."

Su Huaining seemed to have expected the old man to say this, she hooked her lips and smiled, and said, "Grandfather, I am confident that my father is not a person who will make mistakes for the sake of thousands of taels of silver, since my father did not make mistakes, and the migrant workers did not receive enough wages and pensions, then the matter must be in the middle of the key point." ”

"Grandfather, do you think that those migrant workers did not take the silver directly from their father's hands, but their foremen took their wages and pensions from their fathers, and what if the foreman himself embezzled some of the silver and did not distribute it?"

Su Huaining said that the head was the Tao, and the words were clear, but the old man frowned and said, "What you said, your uncle and I thought of it yesterday, we sent someone to investigate the foreman yesterday, but we didn't find any useful clues, and the foreman didn't have the silver at home, and the most important thing is that the prefect got the foreman's testimony, pointing out that your father didn't give him so much silver at the beginning, so he forced him to sign and draw the pledge first, and then, he asked your father for the silver many times, but your father avoided him." ”

It was because of that testimony that he was disappointed in his youngest son's faith.

"What if the foreman lies?" Su Huaining said calmly.

The old man's face changed greatly, and he stood up, "How is it possible?" ”

"Why can't it be?" Su Huaining said, "People die for money, birds die for food, not to mention thousands of taels of silver, if the foreman is a smart man, after swallowing this silver, he will not use this silver in the open, and it will attract suspicion in vain." ”

The old man was like an initiation, his heart shook, and he turned around and was about to go out, "Grandfather, I'll send someone to investigate." ”

If the silver was really swallowed by the foreman, then, no matter how secret the silver is, there will always be a trace left, as long as you check carefully, you can always find something.

"Grandfather." Su Huaining stood up, "Grandfather, since the foreman went to the yamen to testify, then he must have been on guard for a long time, grandfather wants to investigate him, but I'm afraid it's not easy to start, it's better not to make a big splash, just send someone to follow him secretly, as long as he swallows this silver privately, I believe he will show his feet sooner or later, and also, I have overheard my father talk before, and the foreman seems to be obsessed with a flower prostitute." ”

She didn't tell the old man, Su Bangde did talk about it with the elders around her, but she only knew about it when she had the memory of her previous life, and she didn't hear it.
