A man travels through time and becomes a widow, only wanting to pursue a career

Chen Changsheng watched the young man slowly get out of the car. His figure was tall and straight, like a bamboo, with elegance and delicacy, and his smooth face showed sharp edges and coldness.

He raised his cold eyebrows and glanced at all the government officials, and finally met the fat man with a flattering look on his face.

Then the man turned around and stretched out his hand to the people in the car. His eyes immediately softened, and there was even a hint of a smile on his brows, which melted the cold temperament around him.

"Mom, Tingyu, we are here."

Qin Tingyu quickly jumped out of the carriage with Bai Xiao's hand, and then the two of them carefully helped Mrs. Bai out of the carriage one by one.

"My Lord County Magistrate, my humble position is Li Biao, the leader of the county government arrests in Baishui County. I just heard from above that a new county magistrate will take office in the next few days. Today is finally the day to wait for you." Fat Tou Da Er stepped forward and introduced himself with both hands. .

Bai Xiao said calmly, "I originally arrived at the dock yesterday, but was delayed for a whole day due to some things, so I came to report today."

Yesterday, Mrs. Bai suddenly felt unwell due to the heat. After leaving the dock, Bai Xiao and others went to the county to find an inn to rest up. After the doctor saw that Mrs. Bai was fine, they rested for the whole night before arriving at the county government office.

After hearing this, Li Biao felt very pity in his heart: [Why is this county master so active in reporting? If he comes back a few days later, Li Biao can take advantage of the intervening period when the county magistrate is away to earn more visiting fees. 】

He glanced into the carriage, "Sir, do you have any luggage? I will arrange for my men to move it in for you."

Looking at the impressive decoration of the carriage, Li Biao probably guessed that the new county magistrate seemed to have a very good family background, and he probably had a lot of money.

Bai Xiao waved his hand and said, "There is no luggage, just two small bags. My accompanying Xiaoyu will take them in."

Li Biao retreated angrily, "Then please come in."

Bai Xiao followed Li Biao and was about to enter the county government office. Qin Tingyu helped Mrs. Bai appear from the other side of the carriage. She looked up and saw a lot of people gathered in front of the county government office.

Qin Tingyu saw Chen Changsheng in the crowd at a glance.

"Benefactor?! Why are you here?!" She exclaimed in surprise.

Bai Xiao and Mrs. Bai both followed Qin Tingyu's voice and saw Chen Changsheng looking at them with complicated expressions.

Mrs. Bai let go of Qin Tingyu's hand and walked over quickly. She said to Chen Changsheng with a smile on her face, "Madam, I didn't expect to meet my benefactor here. It's such a fate!"

benefactor? !

The melon-eating crowd watching at the gate of the county government office all took a breath.

"Why do the county magistrate's wife and the old lady call that humble country woman their benefactor?"

"Where does this woman come from? Does she know the county magistrate?"

"Just now, the officer said that the county magistrate was busy with official duties and had no time to meet him. Why has a new county magistrate arrived now? What's going on?"

"It seems like there is something good to watch. Hehe."

The fat-headed and big-eared Li Biao and the people in the gambling house also opened their eyes wide. Their eyes switched back and forth between Mrs. Bai and Chen Changsheng, looking curious, "How does the new county magistrate know this woman?!"

Chen Changsheng learned from the conversation between the boy and Li Biao, the three people in front of him, that they were the newly appointed magistrate of Baishui County and his family.

She took a step back and saluted respectfully towards the frost-haired Mrs. Bai, "A civilian woman has met Mrs. Bai."

"Madam, you don't have to be so polite." Mrs. Bai supported Chen Changsheng weakly and motioned for her to stand up. Suddenly something occurred to her, and her expression became concentrated and she asked, "Why is Madam at the gate of the county government office? But what grievances do you want to avenge?"

After Chen Changsheng thought for a few seconds, he spoke in detail about the money owed by the original owner.

After hearing this, Bai Xiao glanced at Chen Changsheng and said, "It is only natural to pay back debts. Even though Madam is the savior of my Bai family, you still have to pay back the money you owe."

Everyone in the gambling house nodded with great approval and said in unison, "Your Excellency is wise!"

Chen Changsheng smiled slightly, "This is also the plan for the citizen woman to come to the county government today." She took out thirty taels of silver from her sleeves, "The citizen woman has brought thirty taels of silver today, but I need to trouble the county magistrate to make a Notarize, confirm the documents and then help write a notarization, so that I can rest assured that all the money will be returned to Changle Casino."

After hearing this, Mrs. Bai smiled and said, "Why bother talking about such a trivial matter." She turned around and said to Bai Xiao, "Xiao'er, don't you think so?"

Bai Xiao also glanced at Chen Changsheng and nodded in agreement, "Thirty taels is not a small amount of money. If you ask for a notarial certificate, I will naturally support it. Since I am an official, I naturally have to plead for the people."

"Thirty taels is not a small amount. It is indeed necessary to write a notarization." Qin Tingyu also nodded, "There are so many people here, so everyone should go in and get the notarization together."

When they heard that the county magistrate said that everyone was allowed to enter the Yamen, everyone crowded around and walked in with some excitement.

"It is said that all government offices in the world open to the south. If you have reason or money, don't come in. Ordinary people like us never thought we could go to the government offices today."

Li Biao suddenly blocked the door, "Sir, it's not good for so many people to suddenly break into the county government office, right?"

"Why not? Isn't the door of the county government open to the people? And these people are not unruly people. They were invited in by the official. How can they 'break in'?" Bai Xiao glanced at Li Biao.

Li Biao got out of the way angrily, and everyone rushed into the county government hall.

Bai Xiao changed into his official clothes and tidied his official hat in the back hall before coming out. The office hall was also decorated. He immediately cleared his throat, slapped the table and shouted, "Open the court!"

The two squads of yamen officers held water and fire sticks in their hands and chanted, "Might...might!"

Chen Changsheng cursed in his heart: [It smells like that. 】

Bai Xiao looked at the people in the gambling house and said calmly, "Could Changle Gambling House submit the IOU for a look?"

Seeing that the situation was difficult to change, the leader had to say dejectedly, "Of course you can."

He glanced at his second son. The thin man with a mustache stepped forward and presented the IOU with both hands to the fat-headed and big-eared Li Biao. Li Biao then presented the IOU to Bai Xiao, "Your Majesty, please take a look."

Then Li Biao leaned into Bai Xiao's ear and whispered, "Sir, the Changle Casino wants to get acquainted with you. We are hosting a banquet at Ruyi Restaurant tonight. I would like to treat you to a casual meal."

Bai Xiao nodded slightly, indicating that he understood, then took the note, lowered his head and looked at it carefully.

After a while, he raised his head, looked at everyone and said, "According to the black and white paper, it does say that 'Chen Changsheng' owes Changle Gambling House thirty taels of silver. And in order to prevent the gambling house from cheating, I made a special inspection just now. to find out the authenticity of the documents."

Everyone in the gambling house took a breath of cold air: [Could it be that Magistrate Bai discovered something? 】

Bai Xiao continued, "Judging from the stroke order, strokes, structure, writing method and pen strength on the calligraphy note, the handwriting on this note was all written by the same person."

Everyone in the gambling house heaved a sigh of relief: [It seems that the new county magistrate is very knowledgeable. 】
