Lion's house had nothing valuable, so it was quickly searched and cleared.
However, Holland was holding a chest and his face, was filled with joy.
Opening the chest, he said aloud, "Announcing to the emperor, Lion's room has been searched and found to contain various banknotes, silver, and other jewellery, totalling 150,000 taels! Please judge, your majesty!"
Mr Holland turned around, pleased, and asked, "Lion, how will you defend yourself now?"
The Empress was a bit worried that Lion hadn't handled things properly and had been caught.
She wanted to find a way to help him deceive his accusers.
However, Lion was extremely calm, clasping his hands and saying, "Announcing to the emperor, this money rightfully belongs to me, your majesty!"
Holland laughed heartily, "Haha, it's good that you admit it!"
"But this amount is all legally earned income, and I have no qualms about it!" Lion said loudly.
