"I personally handled all these accounts. My Lin family's accounts are clear and every entry is kept clearly."
Wang Jian discovered that when the original wife of the Marquis of Pingning mentioned the accounts, her eyes flashed with extreme confidence.
He looked at Su Chengye unconsciously, feeling that he would die here today.
When Lawyer Qian saw that Lin Wanyin agreed to question him on the spot, he took out an account book and flipped through a page at random.
Speak out.
"This is the account for the third day of the fifth month of the twelfth year of the Xuande reign. Three thousand taels of silver were spent, and only the word 'Cuihe' was written at the end."

When Qian Ming saw that this matter was about the Su family's scandal, he quickly turned to the next page.
He thought that Lin Wanyin remembered it so clearly because the amount of money in the previous account was too much. This time, he deliberately made a smaller amount because he didn't believe Lin Wanyin would still remember it.
"This is the account for October of the 13th year of the Xuande reign. It contains five hundred taels of silver, and it has the words 'Blood Swallow' written on it."
