Traveling to ancient times with a sign-in system

Chapter 96 Choose one of the two!

Before Gu Lianshan could say anything, Gu Tang grabbed her father and said, "Why are you trying to stop us? I was the one who lost the silver! I don't care who took it, I must return it in full!"
If I can get the money back by making a fuss, then I will! Even if my mother doesn't make a fuss, I will make a fuss too! In short, the money must be returned!"

Zhang heard what Gu Tang said, and started to curse even louder: "You call me a thief! You, the eldest branch of the Gu family, are also thieves! Wei took away so much silver, I don't believe that you, Gu Liansheng, didn't know about it!

I'm afraid you've spent that money too, so you're hiding in the house, not daring to show your head, holding it in like a coward! Pah! No wonder you studied for decades and didn't even become a scholar! It turns out your mind was all on other things..."

Zhang's curses became more and more vulgar, and she cursed Gu Liansheng to nothing but good things.

Old Master Gu couldn't stand the foul language and cursed, so he covered his chest and gasped.

Feng also had a ferocious look on her face and stretched out her hand to hit Zhang in the face.

Unfortunately, Zhang was taller than her, so she could only breathe on Zhang's mouth.

Zhang was not a pushover either. She was so angry that she completely lost her rationality and even started fighting with Feng!
So, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law started fighting in the yard and the fight was fierce.

Gu Tang watched with great interest, a smile on his face, and the anger in his heart dissipated a lot.

Old Master Gu couldn't care less at this point. He leaned against the wall, covering his chest, his face pale!
Gu Lianshan was afraid that the old man would die of anger, so he forcefully sent the man back into the house.

During the fight, Zhang continued to yell and curse from time to time. Finally, Gu Liansheng in the east wing could not stay any longer and asked Gu Tianbao to support him as he opened the door and left the house.

Watching the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fighting in the yard, Gu Liansheng prayed, "Wei didn't take the silver! But since you're still holding on to it, I'll make the decision. You only have to return half of the thirty-four taels of silver, and you don't have to pay the other half!"

Upon hearing this, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were rolling back and forth on the ground stopped immediately.

Zhang got up panting, her hair was tied into a mess by Feng, and there were nail marks and slap marks on her cheeks.

She curled her lips sarcastically: "Are you admitting it?"

"Admit it!" Feng slumped on the ground, with the same messy hair and the same face covered with nail marks and slap marks.

She spat at Zhang and angrily questioned her son, "Didn't you say Wei didn't take the silver? If so, why did you write off half of it? That's over ten taels of silver! Enough for you and your son to spend for half a year!"

Gu Liansheng closed his eyes and tried his luck again, feeling very annoyed by his mother's stupidity!
"Mother! Having a thief in the family is shameful to begin with. We should have covered it up and made a small matter out of nothing as quickly as possible. Why is it getting bigger and bigger? There are so many people out there who want to make fun of our family. Do you want them to take advantage of this opportunity to laugh at us?"

Feng froze, her mind cleared up a little, she glared at Zhang, turned her head away without saying a word, and tacitly agreed to her son's decision.

Zhang's face also froze. She was sure that the eldest wife could not come up with more than ten taels of silver and would not accept it, so she made a fuss unscrupulously, just to use this as an excuse to delay paying.

After all, she really doesn't have much money at the moment and can't pay it back at all!

She can't even pay back half of it!

But who would have thought that the eldest wife would actually accept these ten taels of silver...

Zhang's heart sank to the bottom, and for a moment she was in a state of anxiety, not knowing what to do.

Listening to their shameless discussion, Gu Tang in the hallway almost laughed out loud. Who gave Gu Liansheng the face? He said to erase half, so he erased half? He wouldn't even dare to do such a thing in his daydreams!
"What bullshit! Not a cent less than the thirty-four taels of silver! If even a cent is missing, I'll file a complaint with the government! After all, there are no scholars in my second branch, so we don't care about our reputation. At worst, we can just take the silver and move away! With silver in hand, we can live freely anywhere!"

A cold look flashed across Gu Liansheng's eyes, but due to Gu Tang's madness, he didn't want to provoke her, so he had to hold back his temper and coax her. "No matter what, she is your mother, and you have plenty of money to spend. Didn't you just sell a goat a few days ago? And then you caught a deer. I see that the deer is gone, I'm afraid you sold it too."

You probably have over a hundred taels of silver in your hand now, so why bother arguing with your mother about a few dozen taels? Don't you know whether she has any silver or not? Even if you force her to death, she won't be able to come up with dozens of taels of silver, so why bother making such a fuss?

This time Gu Tang really laughed.

She ignored Gu Liansheng's shamelessness, put away her smile, and looked at Zhang coldly: "I know you can't come up with this money, now I give you two choices.

First, you sign a letter of confession, admitting that you conspired with Wei to steal 34 taels of silver, and ask for retirement, and the money will be written off.

Second, I can send you to the government office. According to the law, you and the Lin brothers and sisters must be exiled. When the time comes, the Lin family house will be sold to pay back the money, and the fate of you and your children will be determined! Which one do you choose?

Zhang's face turned pale and she staggered two steps.

She looked at Gu Tang: "Are you really so heartless?"

"There is no affection between you and me. If there is no affection, how can there be any talk of being heartless? Make your choice, don't force me to do it!" Gu Tang's face suddenly darkened, and he moved his wrist to scare Zhang into making a choice quickly.

But before Zhang could say anything, Gu Liansheng got anxious: "Si Ya! What are you doing? Your mother is throwing dirty water on your aunt's head, why do you believe her words? Your aunt is definitely not the one who stole the money!"

"I'm not blind! I'm not stupid! Everything you do leaves traces. You said you copied books from a bookstore. Which bookstore? What book did you copy? When did you copy it?
"If you just go out and ask, you can find out everything. Do you think I'm some silly girl who never leaves the house? I've been collecting and selling herbs since I was seven or eight years old. Although I'm not very old, I know more than you!"

These words tore off Gu Liansheng's fig leaf and revealed the truth that he had been trying to hide.

Mrs. Feng didn't understand what these words meant. It took her a long time to come to her senses and she immediately looked up at her son.

Gu Liansheng didn't dare to look at my mother, he looked away, but the fierceness in his eyes was terrifying.

"Which one should you choose?!" Gu Tang yelled at Zhang impatiently, scaring her.

Zhang didn't dare to delay any longer and chose an option with a sullen face: "I sign the confession!"

"Zhang!"

"Brother and sister!"

"mother!"

Three frightened shouts came from Feng, Gu Liansheng and Lin Lang.

Zhang ignored Feng and Gu Liansheng, and just raised her lips sadly at her son: "If you don't choose one, then you have to choose two. If you choose two, you will have no hope..."

Lin Lang clenched his fists, his nails dug into his palms, and his face looked gloomy and terrifying.

He knew what his mother meant, so he chose one. Although it would leave a handle, at least he still had a chance. As long as he passed the imperial examination, he would be able to turn the tables sooner or later!

If you choose the second option, then you will have no hope at all. Not only will you lose the imperial examination, you won’t even be able to save your life.

On the way to exile, I don’t know how many prisoners died on the way. With his physique, he would die before reaching halfway!
