Zhao Kang's wife, Zhao Liu, came before Lu Tu and knelt down, saying, "Lord Lu, I can testify that Zhao Kang embezzled a lot of silver, but it has nothing to do with me!"
Lu Tu quietly looked at the gold bracelet that was inadvertently revealed on Zhao Liushi's wrist: "Oh? So you're innocent?"
"I'm truly innocent, sir! I can lead men right now to find the gold and silver that Zhao Kang embezzled!"
