After being reborn with Sister Zha, I was stunned!

The old lady also gave the two of them some loose change, as it would cost money to gather information.

But I was worried about how to get out.

"Let them push my manure cart out? This manure cart is different from other things. It's dirty and smelly, and no one wants to get close to it." Yu suggested.

The old lady and Mrs. Du nodded immediately, and asked the two to dress up and push Mrs. Yu's manure cart out through the corner door.

Sure enough, there were quite a few people gathered outside the corner gate, but no one was willing to get close to the manure cart. The two men pushed the manure cart all the way to the main road outside the mansion gate, and no one stopped them.

However, just as they breathed a sigh of relief, they saw a few people coming towards them...

Shen's house, in the main hall.

It was already the hour of Xu, and Wang Si and Yu'er hadn't returned yet. The old lady became so anxious that she could no longer sit still.

"Why are these two so slow? It's really frustrating!"

Mrs. Du was also anxious.

Although she had her doubts about Yu's words, she couldn't help but feel scared.

Who wouldn’t be afraid if something like this happened to them?

I was really worried that instead of waiting for Wang Si and Yu'er to come back, they would wait for soldiers...

Yu comforted her, "Madam, when they left, it was almost the evening hour. It takes more than half an hour to get from Shen's house to Jingzhao Prefecture. So, they can't be back until the evening hour at the earliest."

Also.

The two could only continue to wait, and they waited until the hour of Hai before they finally returned.

"What's going on? Have you found out clearly?" The old lady asked anxiously without waiting for the two to catch their breath.

"Reply, reply to the old lady, reply to the eldest lady, I heard that the master could not bear the torture and fainted and has not woken up since then..."

Wang Si panted heavily as he told Yu the news he had heard in detail, and what he said was exactly the same as what Yu said.

The old lady looked at Yu'er suspiciously.

Yu'er also nodded: "That's right, old lady, what he said is true. The two of us pooled our money and bribed a jailer in Jingzhao Prefecture to find out the truth..."

The old lady slumped back into her chair.

What Yu said turned out to be true!

"Then, if the master confesses, will the Shen family be implicated?" Mrs. Du became even more panicked.

"I heard that the officials were colluding with the bandits. Once confirmed, they and their families will be exiled for 3,000 miles..." Wang Si said in a low voice.

Yu'er also added: "The guard also said that the children were as young as newborns and as old as eighty..."

Mrs. Du also fell back into her chair with a thud, looking at a loss.

The old lady rolled her eyes and fainted.

He was eighty years old... She was only sixty, an old woman, how could she endure the pain of exile three thousand miles away?

Yu'er seemed to have anticipated that the old lady would faint, and she and Yu immediately went forward and pinched and twisted her. After a flurry of activity, they finally woke the old lady up.

"What should I do? What should I do?" The old lady started crying when she woke up.

Yu said slowly: "I heard that unless..."

He opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

This made the old lady and Mrs. Du very anxious.

"Unless what? Tell me quickly!" Mrs. Du was so anxious that she couldn't speak.

"Unless the two masters can draw a clear line with the master as soon as possible..." Yu said again.

"What do you mean? How do we draw the line?" Mrs. Du seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw.

"I heard that if the family members can stand on the side of the government and actively cooperate with the government in collecting evidence, they will most likely not be implicated..." Mrs. Du continued.

As if she was afraid of being blamed by the old lady and Mrs. Du, her voice became lower and lower.

Mrs. Du heard it very clearly.

Even the old lady didn't miss a word.

After Yu finished speaking, Wang Si and Yu'er also confirmed this statement.

"Yes, that's what the prison guard said..."

After hearing this, the old lady and Mrs. Du remained silent with expressionless faces.

It seems that he is thinking about what to do.

After a while, Mrs. Du seemed to have made up her mind and spoke to the old lady: "Old lady, even if I am insignificant, but Kedaer and Duoer are your grandchildren. We can't help but make plans for them. They still have a long way to go in the future!"

"Besides, how can you, old lady, endure the torture of three thousand miles of exile... Let alone other things, I'm afraid you can't even walk that distance..."

The old lady was in great pain, and the flesh on her face was shaking.

Even though she still doesn't want to believe that her son would collude with bandits, what's the use?

Whether it is allowed or not, that is up to the prefectural governor to decide...

Standing on the side of the government, he took the initiative to testify against his own son...

That’s her own son...how could she bear to let him go?

But if she doesn't do this, her two older grandsons will be involved...

Even her old bones have to be involved...

From now on, the Shen family will be completely finished...

"Well, let's find a way to protect the Shen family, and protect Daer and Duoer..."

The old lady said this with difficulty.

I couldn't help crying again, crying my heart out.

"Old lady, you'd better stop crying. Now that the decision has been made, you and the eldest lady should quickly discuss what to do specifically... Otherwise it will be too late..." Yu reminded from the side.

The old lady suddenly stopped crying.

"Then, what should we do?" The old lady looked at Yu and then at Du.

Mrs. Du had no idea what to do and couldn't help but go to see Mrs. Yu again.

"I don't know... But I heard that Scar Liu said in the hall that he gave the master a lot of money every time... If the master didn't give the money to the old lady and the eldest lady, then I guess he hid it somewhere... I think if I can find the money or the account book and hand it over to the government, it will definitely be a great achievement..."

As Yu spoke, she turned to look at Wang Si.

Wang Si also said he had heard about it.

The old lady and Mrs. Du looked at each other, with shock and temptation in their eyes.

Shen Zhinian actually has extra money?

They don't know anything about it.

"Don't look at me, I haven't seen the money!" The old lady turned her face away.

"I have never seen it...I have never even heard of it!" Mrs. Du also said.

"Since the two masters don't know, why don't they look for it in the mansion? The government will come to investigate this money sooner or later, but if we wait until the government finds out, the Shen family will not even have this chance..." Yu reminded again.

What Yu said makes so much sense!

Looking for it? Where to look for it?

After thinking about it, Mrs. Du took a few people to Shen Zhinian's study.

Normally Shen Zhinian stays in the study most of the time, and he doesn't let anyone in easily. It should be right to start looking in the study first, right?

Several people lit the lights, entered the study and searched everywhere, shaking out all the books and calligraphy and paintings, but found neither banknotes nor silver.

"Could it be that it was kept with Aunt Qing?" Mrs. Du looked at the messy study and guessed.

When Shen Zhinian was awake, he was mostly in the study.

When it’s time to sleep, I almost always stay in Aunt Qing’s room!

Without saying anything, Mrs. Du led a few people to Aunt Qing's courtyard.
