"Mirror? What mirror?"

Zhao Daliang's wife looked at Song Nan with confusion on her face. Seeing her determined look, she looked at Zhao Daliang without hesitation.

Zhao Daliang pretended to be calm and said: "How can you be sure that it was me that day? There were so many people, maybe you saw it wrong. I took home the two bottles of shampoo I bought that day."

"Really?"

Song Nan chuckled softly: "I wonder what shampoo number Mrs. Zhao got that day? This account book records the shampoo number that Zhao Daliang bought. If it is different..."

Before he finished speaking, Song Nan looked at the couple with deep meaning.

Under Song Nan's guidance, Zhao Daliang's wife hesitated again and again, but finally revealed the model of the shampoo that Zhao Daliang brought back that day.

"It's two bottles of No. [-] shampoo. Although I asked him to buy No. [-] and No. [-], Wan Qingsi sells a total of fifty bottles a day. It's good if he can grab two bottles."

Zhao Daliang's wife still preferred to believe her man in her words, but she didn't know that Zhao Daliang had lied to her.

Song Nan pointed to the account book in Song Youliang's hand and said: "Uncle Youliang, please read out the number of shampoos that Zhao Daliang bought that day, and also read out the numbers of the other people."

"Zhao Daliang, two bottles of No. [-] shampoo, worth ten taels of silver."

"Wu Shan, a bottle of No. [-] shampoo costs five taels of silver."

"Zhou Zhu, a bottle of No. [-] and a bottle of No. [-], worth ten taels of silver."

"..."

As Song Youliang read out the details of the last time these people bought shampoo at Wanqingsi, the expressions of all the women in the court changed.

Among them, Zhao Daliang's wife's expression changed the fastest. She glared angrily and said to Zhao Daliang: "Two bottles of No. [-]! Ten taels of silver! Did you exchange them for the mirror that cost more than ten cents?!"

"Zhao Daliang! If you don't give me an explanation today, just live with your little mirror!"

Seeing the change in Zhao Daliang's expression, Zhao Daliang's wife couldn't bear it.

If she doesn't realize what's going on now, she might as well die of stupidity!

It seems that what Boss Xiao Song said is right!

This guy really hid a lot of things from her!

Zhao Daliang did not answer his wife's words, but instead said to Song Nan: "You must have made a mistake in that account book! What I bought was obviously two bottles of No. [-] shampoo!"

Seeing his unrepentant look, Song Nan directly waved his hand: "There are two copies of the Wan Qingsi and Linlang Pavilion account books, and they will be transcribed before closing every day. The county magistrate can ask someone to check whether the handwriting on these two account books is correct. It was written on that day.”

"What's more, Uncle Liang and several others followed Zhao Daliang and his group to the county government office after they came to make trouble. Naturally, it is impossible to write a new account book temporarily."

Song Youliang handed the account book forward very politely.

After Master Zhang caught Li Shan's look, he immediately took the two account books and placed them in front of Li Shan.

Li Shan carefully looked at Song Youliang's folded pages and found that what he wrote was indeed the same as what he read.

"There is nothing wrong with the ledger."

He looked at Zhao Dabin with sharp eyes: "Zhao Dabin, who took the two bottles of No. [-] shampoo you bought? Where are the mirrors? Where did the two bottles of No. [-] shampoo you took home come from?! "

"How dare you lie to me in court? Why don't you explain it quickly?!"

Zhao Dabin immediately knelt down as soon as the scaffolding hit him.

"Lord County Magistrate! You can't favor Boss Song just because she is your sister-in-law!"

"You said there is nothing wrong with the account books, but what evidence can we ordinary people find?"

These words over tea almost made Song Nan unable to hold back her feet.

I really want to kick him to the sky!

Fortunately, Zhao Daliang's words involved Li Shan, so she didn't have to speak out herself now.

I saw Li Shan's eyes darken, and he glanced at the other men: "You are not scholars, let me tell you, on what day this word was written on the paper, I may not be able to tell it at a glance, but according to the ink soaked into the paper To the extent that I can tell that these words were definitely not written within three days."

"If I hire someone to come and check, it will be useless if you confess."

"Gathering a crowd to cause trouble, destroying shops, falsely accusing others, deceiving officials, and being punished for several crimes are not just a matter of being jailed for a few years. Serious cases require hard labor."

"If you were not the mastermind and you confessed now, I would certainly treat you leniently."

Li Shan's words made those men panic.

And what could those women not understand when they saw them like this?

One by one, they patted their men’s arms and shouted:

"Master, you can't let anyone seduce you! There are several children at home. If you go in, how will we survive!"

"Shanzi, please explain what you did! We should apologize to others when we are wrong. Don't be like that wild boy in the village who was sentenced to more than ten years of hard labor and never come back!"

"Okay! What did you do without telling me? You exchanged for me the things I bought with my dowry money?! If you don't explain to the magistrate, we will make peace! We must make peace!"

……

The pressure of the county magistrate and the shouts of the people around them immediately made the men break their defenses.

One or two of them were fighting to be the first to tell the whole story, to be the first to confess.

Only Zhao Daliang still lowered his head and said nothing.

After those people explained clearly one by one, Li Shan stared at Zhao Daliang and said: "Zhao Daliang, they said that this action was ordered by you? Do you have anything to say?"

Zhao Daliang still lowered his head and remained silent.

The person in the room who knew Zhao Daliang best was his wife. Seeing that he didn't speak, his wife knelt down and said, "Please ask the county magistrate to send people to various gambling houses in the county to inquire. Zhao Daliang must be in debt." Gambling debt, being taken advantage of!"

"Gambling debt?" Li Shan murmured softly, and then waved to Master Zhang.

After receiving the order, Mr. Zhang immediately ordered two government servants to follow him out of the county government office.

Zhao Daliang, who was still pretending to be calm, immediately fell to the ground like a puddle of mud when he saw the people in the gambling house.

"Lord County Magistrate, spare your life! Lord Magistrate, spare your life!"

"I said it! I said it all!"

"I originally made a living by reselling things from several nearby counties. Wan Qingsi's shampoo was famous. I bought two bottles of shampoo that day. I wanted to go home and discuss it with my wife, so I could sell one bottle out. If you go to the county, you might be able to earn a few taels of silver."

"But Linlang Pavilion was very lively that day, so I went over to take a look. I didn't expect that I had only been out for a few days, and Linlang Pavilion actually sold such magical things as mirrors."

"Everyone must know the magic of this mirror. The most important thing is that this mirror is limited edition! Seeing the business opportunity, I exchanged two bottles of shampoo for a mirror."

"But as soon as I got the mirror, several maids from wealthy families came to me, and I sold it for 30 taels."
