526. Chapter 526 You have no shame, but we do.

Yin Li and Cheng Jinyu both stopped their hands.

Qiao Sheng said without blushing or a racing heart: "What can we do? Of course we're helping tidy up the embroidery workshop. These days our embroidery workshop business is good; the embroideresses have worked hard—how could we still let them do these chores?"

I can clearly see you're hiding the dragon robe!

The man wearing a junior general's uniform, who looked about thirty, gave an order, and several soldiers rushed in, roughly beginning to search.

Not long after.

A soldier walked over to the large chest.

The chest opened.

The soldier was dumbfounded—"There's nothing inside at all?"

The junior general who had spoken earlier walked over and asked, "Did you find the dragon robe?"

"Sir, there is none."

The soldier replied with an unpleasant look.

What!

None!

The junior general almost shouted; he walked over and searched everywhere, but saw that there really was none.

He felt terrible.

What's going on? Wasn't it supposed to be placed here?

Could someone have taken it away in advance?

The junior general narrowed his eyes, looked at Qiao Sheng and the two others, and said, "Did you hide it? Come, search their persons!"

"You have a lot of nerve!"

Shi Lin walked in from outside.

Upon seeing Shi Lin, the junior general pursed his lips and said, "Lord Shi, I am merely following orders; please don't make things difficult for me."

If it weren't for his family telling him to keep a low profile.

At that moment, Shi Lin wanted to kick him away.

"Making things difficult? Is this making things difficult? You want your subordinates to search my wife; if it gets out, what will others say? You have no shame, but we do!"

"You..."

The junior general was choked, not knowing what to say.

However.

Not long after, he found something to say again: "Lord Shi, could it be that you're obstructing me because you really are hiding the dragon robe privately?"

Shi Lin's hands clenched.

Qiao Sheng saw that Shi Lin wanted to hit him, stepped forward and said, "It's just a body search, right? That's fine, but send a woman to do it. Surely you, sir, wouldn't want to be criticized, would you?"

She said that.

The junior general, at a loss for words, had people fetch a few women.

Maybe after a while they'd search others' persons, so they fetched a few more.

They originally thought they'd find the dragon robe soon.

Who would have thought.

They searched everywhere, looked everywhere, but found nothing.

Shi Lin breathed a sigh of relief, stared at Ye Jin Ying and said, "Lord Ye, what else do you have to say?"

That was when.

The Imperial Guard sent by the emperor arrived.

As soon as the Imperial Guard Commander arrived, he greeted Shi Lin and the others.

After the greetings.

The Imperial Guard Commander asked Ye Jin Ying how the investigation went.

Ye Jin Ying immediately gave a look to the embroideress wearing a pink silk flower on her head.

The embroideress understood, fell to her knees with a thud, and said, "Sir, spare me, sir, spare me; we were forced to make the dragon robe by them, it has nothing to do with us."

Cheng Xianglan's chest heaved with anger.

"Zhang Fengjuan, what nonsense are you spouting!"

The other embroideresses also started talking about Zhang Fengjuan.

Zhang Fengjuan snapped, "Are you stupid? At this time you're still speaking up for them—how much did they pay you?"

Qiao Sheng's eyes instantly turned cold several degrees: "How much did we pay them? I want to ask you, who bribed you to say that?"

"No one bribed me; I just don't want to continue sinking with you."

Zhang Fengjuan shouted.

There's no evidence, yet you still want to slander them.

Shi Lin declared solemnly, "You say we privately made the dragon robe—where's the evidence? None, you're just slandering!"

Without waiting for Zhang Fengjuan to speak.

Shi Lin bowed to the Imperial Guard Commander: "Commander Li, this is no small matter; please report to the emperor and investigate thoroughly to give us justice."
