Yang Chengye's face was icy cold as he stared at Wang An and said, "What evidence does Lord Wang have to prove that it was Shen You who mixed the sand?"

  "Where is the evidence? Produce it!"

  "This......"

  Wang An was stunned and didn't know how to respond.

  Yang Chengye continued: "On the other hand, you, Lord Wang, before this matter is investigated clearly, you and Zhao Huozhu are also suspects."

  "Nonsense!"

  Wang An angrily said: "The prefectural government ordered Zhao to transport the disaster relief grain to Shen's house overnight, and Shen You personally received it, with his own signature and seal."

  "This has nothing to do with the prefecture and Captain Zhao."

  "Yes, Shen You's signature and seal are both here with this official, they cannot be forged."

  At this time, Zhang Jun said to Yang Chengye.

  "Your Excellency!"

  Yang Chengye cupped his hands and said, "Shen You's signature and seal are genuine, but at that time, the refugees had just arrived and were in a state of chaos. Due to trust in Zhao, they did not inspect them, which is also reasonable. Moreover, based on my understanding of Shen You, he would not do something as foolish as lifting a stone to hit his own foot."

  "The inspector's discerning eye is like a torch; with careful thought, one can infer the underlying reason."

  "This..."

  Zhang Jun furrowed his brow in contemplation. Both sides had a point, but the problem was where did it come from? He couldn't figure it out either.

  "Sir, don't forget that above the heavens there are spirits watching over all of this!"

  Upon hearing this, Zhang Jun's whole body trembled and he almost forgot that the old immortal had once told him that everything he did was within his perception.

  Zhang Jun looked at Yang Chengye deeply and asked: "Then where do you think the problem lies?"

  Yang Chengye said bluntly: "I don't know!"

  Zhang Jun was suddenly enraged by Yang Chengye and scolded: "Don't you know, are you making a ruckus here?"

  Yang Chengye said: "As long as you give me time, I will definitely make it clear."

  At this time, Zhang Jun carefully examined Yang Chengye and said: "Little girl, don't talk nonsense, the public hall can't tolerate your recklessness!"

  Yang Chengye smiled and said: "Sir, why don't we make a bet?"

  "What bet?" Zhang Junqi said.

  Yang Chengye said: "If I find out the problem within seven days, the money and grain that the Shen family has taken out for disaster relief will be compensated by the government."

  "If it can't be found, I'm willing to go on the road with my elder brother."

  "Second brother, no!"

  After hearing Yang Chengye's words, Shen You shouted: "You can't be reckless, with brother me dead is enough, in the future Shen family still has Wan San who needs you to take care of!"

  Yang Chengye turned his head to Shen You and said, "Big brother, don't say that. It was I who urged you to donate money and food to the disaster victims at first. What's difficult for us brothers to bear together?"

  Yang Chengye then looked at Zhang Jun and asked: "What does your excellency think?"

  Upon hearing this, Zhang Jun smiled, but immediately turned cold and said: "Seven days is too long, I'll only give you three days."

  "Okay."

  Yang Chengye immediately replied, saying: "However, sir must agree to one more condition."

  "What's the condition? Tell me."

  Zhang Junxiao looked at Yang Chengye with interest.

  Yang Chengye said, "Your Honor, I am just a commoner, and the people to be transferred are all prominent figures in Jiaxing City. Moreover, there are also our parents' officials in Jiaxing Prefecture. How dare I disturb the dragon's head?"

  "Hmm!"

  Zhang Jun let out a cold snort, took down a rectangular jade pendant from his waist and said: "This is the token of this official. Whoever holds this token is just like this official himself. No matter who it is under this official, they must accept your inspection. Otherwise, it's disobedience, and the punishment will be beheading!"

  "Thank you, sir!"

  Yang Chengye took over the jade pendant and said to Zhang Jun.

  "Big brother, bear with it for three more days!"

  Yang Chengye put away his jade pendant and said to Shen You.

  "Be careful, second brother!"

  Shen Yougang had just finished speaking when he was taken away by the bailiffs.

  "Bang!"

  Zhang Jun slapped the shock wood and said: "Retreat!"

  Watching Shen You being detained, Lin Mei'e cried so hard that she almost fainted, and in the end Yang Chengye ordered a maid to escort her back to her room by force.

  "Following Grandfather's words, what should we do now? Are you confident that you can prove Yu'er's innocence?"

  In the Shen family's main hall, Mrs. Zou sat in the host seat, with Wu Ruolan accompanying her by the side.

  "Mother, you can rest assured, everything will be fine, and big brother will definitely return safely."

  Yang Chengye assured Zou Shi.

  Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zou nodded and said: "Since that's the case, I can rest assured now. With Yu'er not around, the Shen family is relying on you."

  "I'm not feeling well, so I'll head back and rest first."

  Zou said goodbye and returned to the back hall with Wu Ruolan and her maid. Before leaving, Wu Ruolan encouraged Yang Chengye.

  "Uncle Fu."

  Yang Chengye said to Fu Bo: "I'm going to Jiaxing City, and I'll have to trouble you with the big and small matters of the Shen family."

  "There are still Zhuo Tong and Yao Tang who cannot be stopped, you need to comfort them so as not to cause more trouble."

  "Second Master, our grain is already used up, what should we do with those grains mixed with sand?"

  Fu Bo said to Yang Chengye with some worry.

  Yang Chengye thought for a moment and said, "You will transport all the grain to the porridge tent, distribute it to the refugees, and let them pick out all the sand from the grain."

  "I'm sure they'll be able to do it, many hands make light work!"

  "Understood, Master!"

  Fu Bo responded with a "yes" and hastily left.

  After settling the affairs of the Shen family, Yang Chengye rode his horse towards Jiaxing City.

  Yang Chengye first went to the prison cell and took out the jade pendant that Zhang Jun had given him. Under the leadership of the prison head, he saw Shen You, who looked pale and haggard.

  "Big brother, you've suffered a lot! If it wasn't for listening to my suggestion, this wouldn't have happened!"

  Yang Chengye said guiltily to Shen You who was wearing prisoner's uniform.

  "Ah!"

  Shen You sighed and said, "Second brother, you don't have to be modest. Even if you didn't suggest it, I would still help the refugees."

  "At the beginning, I fled to Jiaxing with my brother and mother, and we were just like those refugees. When I see them, it's as if I'm seeing myself back then. How could I stand by and do nothing?"

  Yang Chengye nodded and said: "Big brother, tell me about the whole thing in detail."

  Shen You recounted in detail to Yang Chengye how he had transported grain with Zhao Tou for the Shen family.

  After listening to Shen You's account, Yang Chengye asked: "So that grain was collected by Zhao Hu and Shi Ye, and then sent to the Shen family by Zhao Hu himself?"

  "Was it Uncle Fu who personally put it in the warehouse and no one else touched it?"

  Shen You nodded and said, "Yes, except for Fu Bo, no one else has touched it, and the warehouse key has always been in Fu Bo's hands."

  Yang Chengye asked again: "What kind of person is Fu Bo?"

  Shen You replied: "Fu Bo can be completely trusted."
