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

Li Biao also praised, "You have good eyesight, you have the ability to identify handwriting. I am so impressed by you! My admiration for you is like a torrential river, endless, just like..."

Before Li Biao could finish his flattery, he was interrupted by Bai Xiao's next words.

"But only the word '十' was written by another person, and the ink seal of the word '十' is different from other handwritings. It is obvious that it was added later. There are traces of modification on this handwriting. My official It is determined that the document says 'Ow three taels of silver' rather than 'Owe thirty taels of silver'."

After Bai Xiao said the last word, he glanced at the people in the gambling shop with sharp eyes and said angrily, "Who among you is responsible for this? Hurry and get the truth!"

The leader blinked his eyes uneasily a few times and tried his best to act as if nothing had happened, but the two younger brothers and the two doorkeepers were so frightened by the county magistrate's eyes and tone that they trembled.

The thin, short man with a mustache even softened his feet and knelt down directly, "Lord County Magistrate, that document was not changed by a villain, but by our boss..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the leader yelling, "Idiot!"

The thin, short man with a mustache received a blow from his boss and was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head.

The people outside the government office were whispering again.

"Damn it, I didn't expect this gambling house to be involved in privately changing IOUs! It's so shameless!"

"Why should you talk to a gambling house about being shameless? What they do is to destroy people's lives."

"This new county magistrate is so awesome. He can actually tell that the IOU is fake."

"That sister-in-law is also lucky. She originally had to pay back thirty taels of silver, but now she only has to pay back three taels of silver. Thank you so much to the county magistrate!"

There was some confusion.

Bai Xiao coughed again and patted the gavel hard, "Quiet!"

Chen Changsheng, who had been silent until now, said quietly, "Thank you, the county magistrate, for notarizing it for me. Since this document is true, I will return the three taels of silver to Changle Gambling House now."

Repaying debts is justified.

She paid back what was due.

Chen Changsheng took out three taels of broken silver from his sleeve and handed it to the short, thin man with a mustache who was kneeling on the ground.

Under the watchful eyes of Bai Xiao, the people in the hall, and the gambling house, the short, thin man with a mustache took the money with a smile, and said with a pale face, "Thank you."

Bai Xiao looked at Chen Changsheng again. He originally thought that this woman would use the excuse that the IOU was fake to squander the money, but he didn't expect that this woman was not a defaulter.

Now that the money has been repaid, Chen Changsheng no longer needs to stay at the county government office. She bowed slightly to Magistrate Bai and then left.

As soon as he came out of the government office, Chen Changsheng was held by Qin Tingyu's hand, "Is my benefactor leaving now? Last time, my benefactor refused to leave his name and address, so we didn't have time to come and say thank you. Today, since we are destined to If you meet your benefactor again, why not stay for lunch?"

Chen Changsheng politely declined Qin Tingyu's kindness, "I understand Madam's thoughts. The county magistrate has done me a great favor today by helping me understand my affair with that gambling house."

Qin Tingyu smiled heartily and said, "Since Bai Xiao is the county magistrate, he should ask for orders for the people. This is what he should do, so why should he help?"

She enthusiastically took Chen Changsheng's hand and said, "Madam, you saved my mother-in-law's life yesterday, and you were so generous that you refused to accept your thanks. My mother-in-law has been talking about you, saying that she has never seen a woman like Madam. She really admires her.”

Qin Tingyu kept praising Chen Changsheng, which made Chen Changsheng feel a little embarrassed.

Above the government office.

Several people in the gambling house accepted three taels of silver from Chen Changsheng. The leader signaled the third child to help the second child, who was still weak and kneeling on the ground, and prepared to leave.

Bai Xiao's cold voice sounded, "Are you planning to leave Changle Casino?"

The leader slowly replied, "Since we have received the money, there is no need for my brothers to stay here any longer. Of course they have to go back."

"Did I tell you to leave?!"

The fat-headed Li Biao immediately stepped forward to persuade him, "Sir, since the woman just returned the money, both parties will be fine. You just came to report, so why don't you go down to the hall and rest early? Changle Bet The banquet has been prepared at Ruyi Restaurant."

"This officer is deciding the case, how can it be your turn to speak?" Bai Xiao glanced at Li Biao coldly.

Li Biao stepped aside angrily.

Bai Xiao continued, "Ms. Chen Zhao returned the money to your Changle Gambling House, and her matter has been cleared. But your gambling house has committed fraud, and I haven't investigated your case yet. Everyone in the Changle Gambling House, do you know your guilt?" "

The man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks looked at his boss in shock, "Brother, are we breaking the law?"

"May I ask your Majesty the County Magistrate, what have we committed?" The leader looked calm and unmoved.

"Changle Gambling House, it was originally not a crime to collect money according to the IOU, but you privately modified the amount of the IOU. Master Bai, how should those who privately modify the IOU be punished?"

Master Bai took a step forward and said, "According to the laws of Dasheng Kingdom, if an IOU is changed privately, it depends on the amount. If it exceeds five times the original amount owed, the penalty will be thirty according to the law, and the debt collected will be turned over and confiscated according to law. "

This statement came out.

The five people in the gambling house all looked stunned, and then looked frightened. This new county magistrate is quite ruthless.

The corner of Li Biao's mouth moved slightly, and he took a small step forward and said with a smile, "My Lord County Magistrate, can you and I take a step in the back hall to talk?"

"I don't know what Mr. Li wants to say. If you have anything to say, just say it here."

Bai Xiao didn't want to give anyone a chance to speak.

Taking a step to speak is just to bribe him.

It's a pity that Bai Xiao is not short of money and doesn't like this trick.

Li Biao looked embarrassed and could only whisper beside Bai Xiao, "The county magistrate doesn't know something. The Changle Gambling House has always had a good relationship with our county government. During every year and festival, people will be arranged to send some money to you." we.

The previous county magistrates were their regular customers. According to convention, our county government should turn a blind eye to their gambling houses. "

Li Biao didn't believe it. What he said was so obvious, unless the new Magistrate Bai was a fool and couldn't understand the meaning of his words.

After hearing this, Bai Xiao raised his head and glanced at Li Biao with an unpredictable expression, "Oh? Then according to Li Yashou's intention, I will turn a blind eye today?"

"Lord County Magistrate, it's good for you to know and there is no need to say it out loud." Li Biao chuckled.

"Then what if I have to open my eyes today? According to the custom?! Ridiculous, what kind of custom?! That is the practice of previous county magistrates, it is the practice of your Yamen Chief Li, not my practice!

According to the laws of Dasheng Kingdom, the penalty shall be fined and the payment shall be paid. Come, arrest all five people in the hall and put them in jail first, and then beat them in the afternoon! "

He then turned to look at Li Biao and said coldly, "And you, Chief Li Yamen, I haven't punished you yet."
