They found no official silver, so the trip was a complete waste. Song Tantan was frustrated. "The grain and silver must be hidden in the county magistrate's house. We should go to his house to look for them."
Ye Moxun also felt displeased. Originally, he wanted to let the county magistrate off the hook and leave him for the court to deal with. But this corrupt official was too inhumane.

So Song Tantan took all the magistrate's jewelry and silver. He left the silver with the official seal behind, but took all the silver without it.
