When Prefect Lu heard the Shu father and son asking about this, he could not help but get angry.

”Hmph.” Prefect Lu snorted coldly and rolled his eyes at Master Shu. He placed the silver ingot on the table and said to the Shu father and son, ”You two really have the guts to frame me!”

When Old Master Shu heard this, the hairs on his body stood on end. He knew exactly what kind of person this Prefecture Lord Lu was. If he offended him, then not only would he be rich, even the tomb of his ancestors would be dug out by this Prefect.

Old Master Shu quickly pulled his son. The two of them knelt down in front of Prefect Lu with a 'putong' sound, kowtowing to beg for forgiveness.

”My Lord!” This little one doesn't dare! This lowly one has no enmity with the Lord, moreover, I am relying entirely on the Lord to achieve this peaceful family business, so why would I do such a foolish thing? ” Master Shu said with a sullen face while Shu Lin was scared silly.

In fact, Prefect Lu was only probing the two, he didn't really want to punish them for their crimes. Prefect Lu saw their reactions and knew that they were not lying. It seemed that the two of them didn't know much about old man Wang.

Prefect Lu saw the two of them kowtowing to him and felt annoyed. He waved his hand, signaling the two of them to hurry back. The Shu father and son were full of questions after they heard what Prefect Lu had to say. However, when they saw Prefect Lu was in a bad mood, they did not dare to ask. Thus, the father and son duo returned home dejectedly.

When he got home, the third son of the Guan family stepped forward to welcome him.

”Old master, young master, the two of you have returned. Do you want to eat something?” Manager Ding spoke to the two respectfully.

Old Master Shu waved his hand and said, ”I have no appetite. You can leave for now. I'll call you if you need anything.”

Ding San nodded and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something. He turned around and said to Shu Lin, ”That's right, Young Master, we have heard about that Old Man Wang you mentioned yesterday. We can't touch him, he has the backing of the capital, so we can't offend him.”

Old Master Shu was stunned when he heard Ding San's words. He quickly called Ding San back to the living room and asked him a question. Ding San told him everything he knew.

Hearing that such a sloppy old man actually had the backing of the people from the Grand Dominance Manor supporting him, Old Master Shu not only broke out in a cold sweat, but also had cold sweat. Shu Lin felt a lingering fear in his heart. No wonder this old man acted so arrogantly that day. It was because there was someone above him!

Old Master Shu also understood why Prefect Lu had said that his father and son were framing him. Moreover, he could explain why a poor old man like old man Wang had so many years of government funds.

The father and son duo sat at the table and looked at each other. After a long while, Old Master Shu let out a long sigh of relief. He said to his son, ”You, ah, what can your father say about you? Because you are so lustful and greedy, the wealth that my Shu Family had painstakingly accumulated over several generations, has almost fallen into your hands! ”

Upon hearing these words, Shu Lin trembled in fear. ”Putong!” He immediately knelt in front of his father. Old Master Shu thought for a moment before sighing, ”Forget it, let it be like this for now. In the future, you are not allowed to harass others. Otherwise, you will be beaten up by then. Don't blame your father for not telling you in advance.”
