"No, I didn't say the Lin family sells fakes. I'm just stating the facts. Your vase is indeed fake."

"Next, we need to confirm, brother, did you buy your vase from here?"

As soon as Wen Xun finished speaking, the nouveau riche looked a little unnatural.

Wen Xun naturally noticed it, and at this moment, an officer came riding from a distance and handed something to Wen Xun.

He flipped through the book in his hand. "All the Lin family shops will write receipts for customers and then file them with the government. Let me see, when was the vase in your hand sold?"

"Oh? You don't have this either?"

The upstart was sweating profusely, "This...this..."

"Well, I confess, sir, I bought this thing from a man named Lin Youyou two days ago."

"He said he was the young master of the Lin family, and that he had secretly taken this thing from the shop and was selling it to me at a low price. I saw that he was dressed in an unusual manner, so I mostly believed him."

"What's more, this thing is famous and in short supply. Now it's a steal at just five thousand taels. I'm tempted."

"But who would have known? I asked someone to check, and it turned out to be a fake. When I returned to the teahouse where I had traded with Lin Youyou, he had already disappeared."

Wen Xun's words were still as venomous as ever. "Oh, so you're going to ask the Lin family for money?"

This caused an uproar among the crowd. It turned out that the nouveau riche was so angry that he was trying to extort money.

"This...Isn't there anything I can do about this?"

Not to mention the shopkeeper, everyone present was amused by his shameless behavior.

He was greedy and got cheated, but now he has to ask others to clean up his mess.

Mingyue also shook her head. This person was really unreliable.

Lin Siyu's mind worked quickly, "Uncle, how did you know for sure that he was the son of the Lin family?"

"Oh, that's the finest material he's wearing. I don't know what it is, but I remember the pattern. It's a dark-colored robe with a gold-threaded edge."

"Also, he had a token hanging from his waist with the word 'Lin' written on it, just like the one you have, except his was carved from wood."

…The air suddenly became quiet.

"Doesn't that person have two moles at the corners of his eyes? Triangular eyes? Not too tall? Very thin?"

"Oh, yes, yes, kid, do you know him?"

Lin Siyu took two steps back and stumbled. He thought of his cousin's face. For some reason, every time he saw his cousin, he felt scared.

He subconsciously felt that he should lock his cousin up forever and not let him out. "That's my eldest cousin, Liang Youyou."

He grabbed Wen Xun's hand tremblingly, "Master Wen, go quickly and arrest him!"

Mingyue and the others looked at each other upstairs, confused. They had never heard that Lin Siyu had cousins.

[Host! This Liang Youyou is a tough guy!]

Bucket! Quick! Tell me more!

[Host, this Liang Youyou is in the book, and his 1v4 record can be found]

What is 1v4?

[That is to say, this person killed four people by himself and seized the huge fortune of the Lin family.

The woman who originally married Lin Siyu's father was not the current one, but Liang Youyou's mother.

His mother disliked merchants and broke off the engagement to marry the county magistrate who was nearly twenty years older than her. Now Liang Youyou is the youngest son of the county magistrate's original wife, and he is uneducated and unskilled.

Liang Youyou's heart and eyes are filled with the Lin family's wealth.

Lin's mother was a clear-headed person. Every time he came to ask for money, he was turned away. So he became resentful and waited for an opportunity to put drugs in her medicine, causing her death.

Later, he killed the three heads of the Lin family one after another, and then took over the Lin family by relying on his relationship with the Lin family's nephew and his status as the son of the county magistrate.

【Oh my god, what a bad man! 】

Mingyue's mind was full of the gentle mother Lin. Every time she visited, mother Lin would prepare something and pamper her like her own daughter.

She couldn't believe that such a good person would be killed by such a bad person in the future.

Not to mention the generous Father Lin, the gentle Brother Lin, and the lovely Lin Siyu.

Wen Xun naturally took over the case. With a reporter and a suspect, what was difficult to handle?

Not long after, Liang Youyou was arrested.

He confessed to his fraudulent behavior, "Yes, I did it, so what?"

"I am the son of the county magistrate, and they are just small merchants."

"At most I'll just return the money to him."

"Ridiculous!" Wen Xun, sitting in a high position in the Dali Temple, said, "Do you think everything can be settled with money?"

The people outside were pointing fingers at Liang Youyou.

"Who are you? Where is this? Call my father! Where is my father? He's the magistrate of Jing County!"

"Do you know what a county magistrate is? He's the emperor's offspring~"

"If my father doesn't come, I won't plead guilty!"

What a filial son! After a while, the county magistrate was also pressed over. He didn't know what was happening. He was tied up while he was on the belly of the eighteenth concubine.

"Excuse me, sir, what is this unfilial son doing? Why are you bothering me?"

Liang Youyou: "Dad, who is he? Why do you have to be so servile? Can't you just give him some money like usual?"

The next moment, he received a slap in the face. "Shut up! Are you trying to kill me?"

Wen Xun laughed. He had seen people cheating their fathers before, but he had never seen anyone cheating like this. "Oh, so that's how it is. Just give them some money. Then I want to see how a small county magistrate like you can give and take money under the feet of the emperor."

"Someone, come here! Search their house for me."

"Yes."

The father and son knelt in the hall and talked to each other. Then his father realized what had happened. Before he could say anything more, the people who were searching the house came back.

"Sir, this is the account book we found in Liang Heng's study. It records all the money transactions, big and small, and the miscarriages of justice in cases. The gold and silver are being sorted out by the brothers in the back."

Liang Heng collapsed to the ground in despair. Liang Youyou was still shouting, "Why?! Who do you think you are? How dare you touch my things!"

"Do you believe that my father hired someone to kill you?"

"Don't touch me, don't touch me, I don't want to go to jail, Dad..."

Mingyue, who was watching the show from the corner, finally understood why Liang Youyou was so confident. If she hadn't been here today and called Wen Xun, the person handling the case would definitely be Liang Heng.

Under Liang Heng's protection, the fake becomes real, and the real is pointed out as fake.

What a black-hearted person!

Then why is Liang Youyou described as an extremely patient person in the book?

Could it be that Liang Heng was behind the scenes directing his son's actions, using a knife to kill someone? The thought was terrifying.

Lord Wen's face flushed red as he watched. His son's work was so exciting! As expected, following the little princess would lead to encountering strange things!

Wen Xun: My dear father, you are causing me so much trouble again.

Rest day = duty day.
