Adding up, it will still not exceed more than 2 silver coins .
Meng Nan pointed his finger to the small box and asked: “You lost 30 silver coins that were originally inside here?”
Old Lady Bai nodded her head: “Yes, they were all here . All of them were here . But now, they were stolen by that little girl . ”
Meng Nan coldly throws away the small box to the ground . The few pieces and stringed copper coins were thrown away outside the box: “Even up to now, you’re still refusing to tell the truth? You will not cry unless you’ve seen a coffin . ”
Old Lady Bai was so scared to the point her legs soften and she fell to the ground . However, her mouth was still determined: “How can this old woman dared to deceive Daren . This old woman is telling the truth . Please investigate it clearly . ”

Meng Nan nodded his head, then said: “All right, this official will give you an opportunity to learn something today . ”
Meng Nan turned around and said to Jin Shiwei: “You go and take the silver in the carriage . ”
Jin Shiwei rushed to go . When he came back, he had a tray in his hand with a red cloth on top .
Meng Nan pulled the red cloth, revealing 20 pieces of silver ingots that cost 100 silver coins, that were neatly placed in the tray .

Meng Nan then said to Jin Shiwei: “Put 6 silver ingots in the small box . ”
When the Bai Family heard this, they were all overwhelmed . Local Magistrate Meng Nan couldn’t solve the case, so he decided to give them money to make up for their losses .
Jin Shiwei handed the tray to the public servant next to him and bent his knees to pick up the small box on the ground . Then, he put the silver ingot one by one inside .
The box was too small, only 4 silver ingots were put inside but it was already full . It could no longer accommodate another piece .
“Daren, I can only put 20 silver coins . I can’t add another one . ” Jin Shiwei said .

At this moment, Old Lady Bai understood . Local Magistrate Meng Nan didn’t let his people put money inside the box to give them money but to… …
Meng Nan sneered: “The small box can only hold 20 silver coins, but why did you lose 30 silver coins?”
“I, I, maybe I remembered it wrong . It seems that I only lost 20 . ” Old Lady Bai was so scared . Her tongue that was always sharp seemed had lost its sharpness .
Meng Nan angrily shouted: “The evidence is already in front of you, but you still refuse to tell the truth . It seems that there is no government official in your eyes . Someone come, bring all the Bai Family in the Judicial Court . This officer will give them a good trial in there to see how they lost the money and how much they lost . ”
When Mrs . Liu heard this, she became so anxious, so she hurriedly pulled Old Lady Ba’s sleeve: “Niang, I don’t want to go to the prison, I don’t want to go . Xiaofeng, he cannot go in there, he will become a big official in the future!”
Old Lady Bai doesn’t know what to do, she was also very anxious . However, when she saw the public servants taken out the iron lock and preparing to lock them . She hurriedly kowtowed in front of Meng Nan: “Daren, this old lady admit her mistake, this old lady was wrong . ”
Meng Nan raised his hand, indicating for the public servants to stop: “Do you admit your mistake? What did you do wrong?”
Old Lady Bai busily replied: “Answering back to Daren, this old woman didn’t lose any money at home . This old woman was just playing around with Zhao Lan and Bai Zhi . I’m serious, I didn’t lose any money . We don’t need to go to the Judicial Court . ”
“So, you were only falsely accusing Zhao Lan and Bai Zhi?” Meng Nan asked .
Old Lady Bai shook her head and waved her hand again and again: “No, no, I did not . I didn’t falsely accuse them . It’s was only a joke . I didn’t expect Daren will suddenly visit here, so this old woman was afraid, to tell the truth . ”
On the side, Jin Shiwei opened his mouth: “I don’t think you were only joking, you are blackmailing them, you are falsely accusing them, which is illegal . ”
