Chapter 167 Forgery
As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes fell on Lu Chengjing.
Just say something is wrong, Lu Xiucai was in a wheelchair just now, but now he is stepping out!
Yuan Musheng’s eyes almost popped out of his head.
He knew best how serious Lu Chengjing's injury was. Yesterday, he went to get a medical pack for soaking his feet. Why was it healed today?
Is his medical skills better than the miracle doctor?
Lu Chengjing let everyone look at him, looked at Shan Dajun and said, "Since the magistrate has sent you here, I think there is evidence."
There is nothing to hide. Shan Dajun nodded and said, "There is a witness."
He motioned sideways for a middle-aged man in a blue shirt to come forward, "This man once saw you and your wife go to the pawn shop to pawn the Lu family's lost property."
Lu Chengjing looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "What kind of property is it?"
"Ornament." The middle-aged man said, "The red jade Pixiu has the emblem of the Lu family on it. I have been in the Lu family for twenty years, so there is no way I can get it wrong."
Lu Chengjing then asked, "Where is the ornament?"
"You didn't buy it because you thought the price offered by the shopkeeper was too cheap. It's definitely in your hands now." The middle-aged man looked at the newly built house. "There are a lot of things missing in the Lu Mansion. I'll definitely find them after a search."
After the initial surprise, Manager Liu also turned his attention to searching for the stolen goods and asked Shan Dajun to lead a search of the house to find the stolen goods.
Shan Dajun smiled apologetically at Lu Chengjing and Shang Wan. He could only obey the county magistrate's orders.
Shang Wan glanced at the confident manager Liu with a half-smile, and said to Shan Dajun: "What if I can't find it? Is it considered a false accusation?"
"If you can't find it, it's a false accusation." Shan Dajun secretly didn't believe that Shang Wan and Shang Wan would steal things from the Lu family.
He knew that Shang Wan was good at martial arts, and was worried that Shang Wan would do something stupid, so he reminded or warned, "Anyone who hinders the execution of errands under the orders of the magistrate will be punished with a cane."
Shang Wan had no intention of stopping him, but his face showed an angry look about to hit him.
Lu Chengjing hugged her cooperatively and persuaded her in a low voice, but at least Shang Wan was not allowed to rush out and beat someone.
Shan Dajun gave Lu Chengjing a grateful look. After all, if he really faced Shang Wan, he would only get a beating, and the goodwill he had gained before would have to be wiped out, which was not cost-effective.
Reciprocating the favor, he immediately ordered his men to go in and rummage around, but not to break anything.
The officers dispersed the search, and Manager Liu also brought people in to help search. Xiaohuan and Shitou were worried that they would rummage through things, so each of them carried a kitchen knife and followed several others.
The kitchen knife was sharpened just last night. The blade is sharp and sharp at first glance.
Manager Liu's calves were trembling inexplicably, and it felt better to be next to the two guards.
The two guards originally wanted to threaten them, but when Shang Wan threw two stones, the two guards knelt down on the spot. How could they dare to make a mistake?
The middle-aged man shrank his neck, did not dare to say anything, and hurriedly chased Shan Dajun. He has to help testify about the stolen goods.
When the officers searched, the villagers immediately started talking, and most of them didn't believe that Shang Wan and the others would steal things.
Aunt Zhou sighed, she was so happy to have built a new house, but such a happy event was ruined.
He Sizhi winked at the two apprentices and asked them to go in and help them keep an eye on it.
Chu Xu covered his round little ears and muttered, his cat eyes full of cunning.
Yuanyuan nodded her little head vigorously and rode Xiao Hui away.
Shang Wan asked Madam Rong to help greet the guests. After a while, the official search was completed and the banquet started as usual.
Half an hour later, the search was completed.
The officials searched inside and outside, but found none of the missing items reported by the Lu family.
Seeing this, Manager Liu secretly winked at the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man understood and stepped back, shrinking his neck and trying to get into the house. "Hey, that house has been searched. Why are you running around?" Gao Yan followed up, grabbed the middle-aged man by the back of his collar, and pulled him out with force.
"Let go!" The middle-aged man struggled, but his strength was no match. Instead, he shook off the things hidden on his body.
Manager Liu hurriedly bent down to pick it up. Chu Xu came over at some unknown time, picked it up like a monkey, ran out, and handed the things into Shang Wan's hands.
What the middle-aged man lost was a gold hairpin with two round pearls on the head. Lu Chengjing recognized it as Mrs. Lu's at a glance.
Without him, he had seen Mrs. Lu wearing it more than once. Moreover, all of Mrs. Lu's jewelry are marked, with a small plum blossom carved at the end of the hairpin.
It’s also on this gold hairpin.
Seeing that nothing could be found, he wanted to frame him.
Shang Wan changed hands and handed the gold hairpin to Shan Dajun, "This is Mrs. Lu's jewelry. Please help return it to its original owner."
Shan Dajun looked at the plum blossom mark on the tail of the hairpin and didn't understand that this was an attempt to frame him. His face suddenly darkened and he glared at Manager Liu fiercely.
He raised his hand and pointed at Manager Liu and his party, "Catch them and take them back to see the adults."
The government officials didn't give Manager Liu a chance to defend himself, so they rushed over, gagged and tied him up.
With such a fuss, Shan Dajun was no longer in the mood to eat, and wanted to go back to work as soon as possible.
When Shang Wan was about to entertain guests, the Lin family, who had been watching silently, began to act like a monster.
Village Chief Lin took out the house deed and land deed, and asked Shan Dajun to make the decision to help drive Shang Wan and his party out of the village.
"You're talking nonsense, this is my house! When did it become yours?" Shitou jumped out in a hurry and wanted to stab Village Chief Lin.
Gazing across Village Chief Lin's neck, Xiao Huan touched the knife with a gloomy expression. I want to pick fruits with just two pieces of paper, bah!
The villagers also felt that Village Chief Lin had gone too far. It was clearly the scholar's house, so why did it belong to the Lin family?
Everyone spoke one after another and accused the Lin family.
"The house deed and land deed are in the hands of my father, so the house and land naturally belong to my family. It's not the outsider's turn to point at my family's things." Lin Jianshan raised his chin proudly, looking directly at Shang Wan with malicious eyes.
You didn’t expect that the house deeds and land deeds were always in their hands, right?
No matter how well-repaired the house is, it still doesn’t belong to their family in the end.
Hahaha, he was waiting to see this vicious woman cry bitterly!
Shang Wan rolled his eyes at him like a fool.
Lin Jianshan's proud expression paused, and Village Chief Lin also frowned, feeling something was wrong.
Why were the couple not panicked at all?
His heart was pounding, and when he saw Shang Wan's almond-shaped eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, a bad premonition rushed into his forehead.
The next second, Shang Wan's actions confirmed his suspicion.
Shang Wan took his hands out of his sleeves and took out two pieces of paper.
A house deed, a land deed.
Lin Jianshan's eyes widened instantly, "Impossible! It must be fake in your hands!"
"You can tell if it's true or not." Shang Wan smiled and handed the house deed to Shan Dajun, asking him to help distinguish it.
Shan Dajun put the two land deeds together and compared them, and he could see the clues at a glance. Looking at the two house deeds again, a look of anger suddenly appeared on his face.
He raised his head and glared at Village Chief Lin angrily, "How courageous! He even forged official seals. Someone came, tied them up, and took them back together to be dealt with by the adults!"
