Chapter 498 The Cunning Rabbit's Twelve Burrows

The other officials laughed, and the Shu family instantly felt gratified.

Exactly, doesn't she know the principle of not flaunting wealth? Now that the officials know she has money on her, they'll only target her.

The Shu family felt that they had found a new path to success and continued to wait for Shu Yu to make a fool of himself.

Shu Yu pursed her lips and said, "I do have some silver notes on me."

Everyone looked at her as if she were an idiot. She actually admitted it?

Shu Yu scratched his head. "But there's not much left. I was suddenly arrested, and I didn't even have time to dig out the hidden silver."

The officer's eyes flickered slightly. Wait, dig it out?

Shu Yu discussed with them, "How about this? You take care of me and get me safely to my place of exile in the southwest. In return, I'll tell you where I buried the silver. Anyway, I probably won't be able to go back to Dong'an Prefecture. The silver is just sitting there anyway. If it can make my journey less painful, it's worth it."

The officers exchanged glances. "You said yourself that you'd only tell me where the silver is after you're taken to the southwest. What if you're lying to us, and there's no silver in Dong'an Prefecture at all?"

"No, I'm not lying. If you don't believe me, I'll tell you two places. When you get to the post station tonight, you can send someone back to find those two places, dig them up, and you'll know. Anyway, we haven't been away from Dong'an Prefecture for more than a few days, so the round trip will be quick."

Shu Yu confidently stated, "Besides, even if I really lied to you, I'll be a complete stranger in the Southwest, all alone. You have friends there who can come after me."

She spoke very sincerely.

The officers' eyelids twitched at this, and they were told two places.

The leading officer asked with a complicated expression, "How many places did you bury in total?"

"There are approximately twelve locations."

Everyone was speechless. "Holy crap, people say a cunning rabbit has three burrows, but you have twelve. How can you dig so many holes?"

The officers exchanged glances and agreed that Shu Yu's words made sense.

If she really lies to them, she will be easily exposed, and the consequences of being exposed will be much more serious than eating dry, hard biscuits now.

They were simply curious, "Where does your money come from?"

This is also the question that the Shu family wants to ask.

The young woman asked directly, "Did you take money from the Shu family?" This slut, taking their family's money to live a good life, dream on.

Shu Yu replied, “Of course not. How could I possibly get my hands on the Shu family’s money? Besides, after the Shu family’s property was confiscated, their accounts were all accounted for. If they didn’t match, Lord Jing would definitely come after me. This money was a reward I received from someone I saved by chance after escaping the mansion. That person was grateful to me.”

The officials didn't ask any further questions. The people who handled the case were Lord Jing and his men, and they were also the ones who compiled the account books. The case had already been settled. They were just bored and had nothing better to do than attribute the money to the Shu family.

Anyway, this money will end up in their hands.

Therefore, they looked coldly at the eldest daughter of the Shu family, who belatedly realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly lowered her head.

The officer then snorted coldly and said nothing more.

but……

"Why did you dig so many holes to put silver in there?"

Shu Yu rolled her eyes inwardly. Of course, it was just to appease you guys.
