Chapter 155 Turning Copper Coins into Chicken Dung: Playing the Victim

"How could that be? How could it be chicken manure? Where's the money? Where did you put the money?"

The money exchange clerk seemed not to have realized what was happening. He was in a very bad situation, his eyes fixed on Lin Luoxi's feet, where chicken droppings were spilling out of the sack that had been torn during the fight.

His eyes were filled with disbelief; he had personally handed that sack of copper coins to this woman.

In just a short while, they all turned into clumps of dried chicken droppings.

"This is impossible, absolutely impossible, you bastard, where did you put the money?" All the men he brought were killed here, and the money in the sack had turned into chicken droppings. How could he let the money shop assistant be satisfied? He roared angrily at Lin Luoxi.

"Money? Wasn't the money stolen by your subordinates?" Lin Luoxi saw the money shop assistant roaring at her in a heart-wrenching manner, but she crossed her arms and asked in return.

"You're talking nonsense! I didn't see your money at all!" Qianzhuang Xiaochi, who had been falsely accused by Lin Ruoxi, immediately started cursing.

"This is an official business; all irrelevant people, please get out of the way immediately!" Just after Xiao Shi finished roaring, Su's familiar voice came from the alley entrance.

"Did you report it to the authorities?" The money shop clerk asked Lin Luoxi in a rather idiotic way.

"What? Do I need your permission to report to the authorities?"

"Or should I just obediently wait for you to rob me? And not resist?" Lin Luoxi had never heard such a stupid question before, and looked at the money shop clerk with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot.

"My lord, my lord, help me!" Lin Ruoxi cried pitifully as she heard the footsteps getting closer at the alley entrance. She quickly pulled Xie Hanchuan to the ground.

The money shop clerk standing opposite Lin Luoxi's transformation widened his eyes in disbelief, forgetting even to run away.

By the time he tried to run, a knife was already pressed against his neck, and he dared not move at all.

"Lord Coffin, are you mistaken? I didn't do anything..." He had tried to rob someone, but failed, so it shouldn't be considered illegal. The money changer looked bitter, attempting to justify himself.

"Lord Su, this thief stole my money... Waaah, that's the money my family saved to build a house, my parents' life savings!"

When Lin Luoxi saw Lord Su approaching with Mu Qing and the others, she hurriedly lay down on the ground, pointing at the money shop servant whose neck was being held to Mu Qing's neck with a knife, and cried out.

When Lord Su and the constables led by Mu Qing saw Lin Luoxi lying pitifully on the ground, their lips twitched.

They would be more inclined to believe that Lin Luoxi had robbed them.

After all, I've dealt with Lin Luoxi a few times, but seeing that Lin Ruoxi could capture those bandits who committed murder and arson, how could she not be able to deal with these few big men?

However, seeing the chaotic scene, Lord Su's expression was also very unpleasant.

Within his jurisdiction, some people actually dared to rob openly; they were practically pulling the tiger's mantle right in front of the tiger's mouth—they were incredibly audacious.

"You're talking nonsense! I didn't steal any of your money. It was a whole bag of chicken manure. You kept the money yourself." He had just been saying he hadn't done anything, but now, with Lin Luoxi's counterattack, he let slip the truth.

"Sir, it's like this, we just came from the money exchange..." Seeing the sack of copper coins at Lin Luoxi's feet turned into chicken droppings, Lin Wenqian couldn't accept it either.

That's a hundred taels of silver! If it were an ordinary country person, they might not be able to spend it all in a lifetime. Damn robber!

Those who dare to rob them will be forced to return their money.

Lin Wenqian was unaware that Lin Ruoxi possessed a personal space, so he naturally assumed that the chicken droppings at Lin Luoxi's feet had been replaced by these people. However, Lin Luoxi discovered this and gave him a good beating.

"By the way, Lord Su, this man is still a servant from that money shop. They must be trying to double-cross me, so they sent this man to rob my sister on the way."

At this moment, Lin Wenqian also recognized the man with a knife to his neck as the clerk from the money exchange where they had just exchanged copper coins, and quickly provided clues to Lord Su.

Seeing that Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan were still lying on the ground, he quickly went over and helped them up.

"Mu Qing, arrest these burly men and take them back." Since the money exchange was involved, Lord Su dared not be careless about this kind of evil practice. He was determined to punish them severely, otherwise, more ordinary people would suffer.

"Send two more people to inform the manager of the money shop to come to the yamen," Lord Su instructed with great experience.

"Lord Su, you can't arrest me! I really didn't do anything! Lord Su, you can't wrong an innocent person!" The money shop clerk panicked completely when two constables grabbed his shoulders and started shouting.

"Hmph, whether you're innocent or not, we'll know once Lord Su investigates. Why are you so flustered?"

"Or is it that you have too many shady dealings going on? You're so flustered because you can't stand being investigated." Lin Luoxi rolled her eyes and said sarcastically when she heard the money shop clerk say that he was innocent.

This man only dares to act arrogantly in front of her, a weak woman. In the face of absolute power, he's as cowardly as a cat, only capable of bristling.

"Shut up, you bitch! Tell the master right now that you hid the money yourself, I didn't take your money..." Upon hearing Lin Luoxi's words, the money shop clerk bristled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"Don't worry, if you are truly innocent, we will naturally release you. But if you really have a motive for robbery, then don't blame this official for being ruthless."

When Lord Su saw that the bank clerk's commotion had attracted a large crowd, he spoke righteously and eloquently.

Just kidding, what kind of good person would be someone Lin Luoxi is relentlessly pursuing?

He's just a habitual offender who had bad luck today and fell into the hands of Lin Luoxi, this tough woman.

"Lord Su is honest and upright, Lord Su is honest and upright..." The commotion over a trivial matter of money attracted the attention of the people on the streets outside the alley, who all gathered around.

Upon seeing Lord Su's upright and impartial attitude in handling the case, everyone cheered.

"Lord Su, we're family, you have no right to detain me..." The money shop clerk shouted desperately as he was being dragged away by the constables, knowing he would be beaten if he went to the yamen.

"Nonsense! How dare you slander me! Produce evidence! If you have no evidence, I will sue you for defaming an official of the imperial court..."

Lord Su was so angry at the clerk at the money shop that his chest heaved. He never imagined that after so many years of handling cases, he would be falsely accused by thieves. He had never been so furious before.

When Lord Su was so angry that he was blowing his nose and glaring, he subconsciously looked at Lin Luoxi, afraid that Lin Luoxi would mistakenly think that he had something going on with the money shop.
