Because Xiucai's house was exposed, the next person was left in the store by the housekeeper, saying that he would take another silver.

When he returned to the room, the butler said, "Because we only had three hundred taels of silver in our hands, and two hundred taels were robbed, we can only put one hundred taels in the box now." ”

So, in front of his subordinates and the rich man, the butler put a hundred taels of silver into the box, and the three men and six eyes could see it clearly, and added a lock to the outside of the box.

Then, the servant Jardine held the silver box and said, "The silver is locked, and there is only one seal left, so let's go to the adult's house now."

Then, with the box of silver, Jia Ding went to the village official's house overnight with the rich man and the housekeeper.

But everyone didn't wait for the township officials.

Only the little servant came out of the room and said, "The adults are not well. ”

"In that case, show the box to the adult, and when he has confirmed it, he will put the seal on it." ”

The township official's servant entered the house with a silver box, and came out with a seal after a while, "My lord said, since everyone has seen it clearly, and Xiucai's house can't put it anymore, it's better for you to keep it yourself, and bring it after the matter is completed." ”

After that, the little servant sealed it in front of everyone.

The housekeeper untied the key and handed it to the village official's servant.

When the matter was done, the three of them came out of the village official's house again.

Jardine hugged the silver box and went back to the store with the rich man and the housekeeper.

When I got to the store, the housekeeper put away the cash box.

The next day, the steward wanted to go to the official and recover the two hundred taels of silver that had been robbed by the scoundrel.

But the son will take the township test tomorrow, and if he delays the big thing because of this, he will be to blame!

As a result, the housekeeper could only swallow the loss.

Wait until the day the list is released.

The master and servant ran to the bottom of the list with an expectant look, but the rich son was still famous in Sun Shan.

The rich man was very depressed.

The housekeeper sighed secretly in his heart, so he had to comfort, "Although the matter of the son has not been completed, the silver is still in your hands, we may have to pack our luggage and go home quickly, so as not to ask the township officials for errand money." ”

The rich man was like a deflated ball, and he embarked on the way home sullenly.

Halfway through, the rich man asked the craftsman to open the lock and see that there was a pile of stones inside, where was there any silver taels?

The rich man couldn't help but be angry and anxious.

So he lost three hundred taels of silver.

The rich man was angry and wanted to go back to sue the official, but was stopped by the housekeeper and said, "Childe, you go home first, just rest assured, I have my own way to recover it for you." ”

The rich man trusted the housekeeper very much, and only quickly set off for home.

The steward also lived up to his expectations, and he returned to the city, where he hired a man for money, and dressed him up as a rich man.

The rich family will have to take the exam again in the future, and if he shows his name this time, it will hinder his reputation.

In this way, he had to find someone to replace his son-in-law.

After finding a good person, the housekeeper went directly to the county yamen with him, the fake "master", and told the county magistrate about being cheated and robbed, and sued the township officials and others for their crimes.

The county magistrate listened to the cause and effect, and said, "You should not do bribery in private, both bribery and bribery are guilty." Besides, you have been robbed by scoundrels again, and sometimes the silver in the silver box turns into stones, what does this have to do with the township officials? ”

The butler looked bitter and said, "The silver in the silver box turned into stones, my lord, is indeed not our guards who stole it. The scoundrel who robbed the silver, the township official, and the subordinate named Jia Ding were a gang of liars, and they couldn't be guarded against. ”

This was the only possibility that the butler had come up with on the way back to Fucheng.

The housekeeper saw that the county magistrate did not want to send someone to look for him, so he said, "My lord, if the lord can catch them and recover the silver taels, I am willing to hand them over to the official and put them in the warehouse, even if I am severely punished for the same crime as these liars, I am willing!" ”

The county magistrate thought that if he recovered it, he would have three hundred taels of silver, so he immediately sent someone to find the township official, but unfortunately the township official had long been gone.

Only then did the current master believe the butler's speculation, and suddenly realized, "This guy is really a liar!" ”

It's just that those people fled too fast, even if the county magistrate had the heart, he was powerless.

Those liars are like a needle in the sea, with nowhere to catch or catch it.

Now there was nowhere to go after the swindlers, so he punished the housekeeper and the "rich man" with a cane, and sent them to their house.

Although the housekeeper was cautious again and again, he finally let the scammer deceive, but after being deceived, he also took the initiative to persuade his master to go home, leaving himself alone to go to the government to face the reality, although he did not recover the silver, but he also did his best, and at the same time kept the reputation of the rich family.

and worthy of his faithfulness.

If the rich man himself had come, he would not have done this.

Some people may want to ask, if the housekeeper casually finds someone to replace the rich man, is he not afraid of the discovery of the official?

In fact, this kind of person who relies on procrastination must not have much talent, and the official does not need to test him, and it doesn't matter if he finds out or not.

Tea shed

After listening to what the people at the next table said, Ah Di said, "This gang of liars is also bad, not only robbed one, but also deceived another." ”

Fu Yuanzhi extracted the key information in his words, "I'm afraid this is a plan." ”

"The rich man's heart for fame and position is too heavy, even if he has to pay a lot of money, they can't take care of it, so they fall into the trap of those people, and they can't notice it."

"The person who did this first should be a person named Jia Ding, and it is possible that he has already colluded with the people of the township official's family."

"Jardine's game is to turn silver into stones, which is the process of secretly changing boxes. He didn't come to the door at the same time as the others at the beginning, probably still checking the boxes of the rich family's master and servant, and preparing the same boxes and locks. ”

Song Huan said, "Where can there be such a suitable one, what if it is bought temporarily?" ”

Fu Yuanzhi nodded, "That's why he has to investigate carefully, if there is a ready-made one, he can just prepare it, if not, then he has to seek help from others." ”

Ah Di said according to his own analysis, "Then since Jia Ding's plan is to exchange silver, it should be the township official who robs the silver." ”

Fu Yuanzhi agreed.

There is only one possibility why the township official would do this, he doesn't want to share the money with Jadin.

Who knows, this pair of masters and servants woke up late, and even if they were aware of it, they were scattered by the middle list and the longing for the future.

Ah Di sighed, "The world is too sinister, and the desires are endless!" ”

Spending money on enrollment, entrance examinations, this kind of thing happens everywhere and every year.

There will be people everywhere who have been deceived, and most of these people are rich and impetuous.

Someone in front is deceived, but someone behind is not a lesson.

This scammer later used to say that this place was a good deal to cheat on entrance exams.

But how did this guy drop the bag?

It's always been confusing.

Obviously, the silver was sealed in front of the face and handed back to me, but when the scammer left and opened it, it was all stones, tiles, etc., is there any "silver escape method"?

Even smart people are hard to watch out for in this way, and the only way to do this is to learn from it and not trust these liars.

Even if it's a doorman, don't seal any silver, it's not too late to be on the list.

And don't believe the message, it's not too late to give the silver after seeing the gold list three or four times.

In this way, it can prevent fraud.
