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

The onlookers felt that what the wretched man said made sense.

"Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. Everyone goes shopping to buy some snacks. It's not surprising that you have money on you."

"Yes, I just bought a bowl of iced tofu puffs by the river. It tastes really good, and the heat is gone in no time."

"Where?"

"No, it's on the west side, sold by two kids. Hey, it seems to be those two kids."

Hearing the voices of approval around him, the wretched man suddenly felt that he had the upper hand. He didn't care where Te Niang's money bag came from. He wanted to keep it as his own now.

He spat and said triumphantly, "This money bag is mine, how come it's stolen from you?"

Chen Changsheng smiled, "Really? Are you sure?"

The wretched man insisted, "That's necessary! Otherwise, who else could it be?"

"Okay!" Chen Changsheng nodded, "Then please help me, the official, to check the money bag carefully and see if there is a red rope tied to the mouth of the bag."

"It's true! You little thief, you really stole someone's money bag and you're still making excuses."

After the officer confirmed it, he punched the wretched man and made his nose bleed.

"Ah! Sir, please forgive me! It's not unusual for the red string on the money bag. It must have been seen by the woman when the lady took out the money bag just now. From this close, anyone can clearly see what the money bag looks like. "The wretched man wailed and said, covering his face in pain.

"That's right. The official officer just took it out. I was so far away that I could clearly see the color and style of the bag."

"I saw it too. Just because it's tied with a red string doesn't prove that the money bag belongs to that woman."

"..."

Chen Changsheng pulled his lips and smiled coldly, "Just looking at the money bag really doesn't mean anything. Then please open it, sir, and ask everyone to take a look at the silver coins inside. Are they a half-cent silver tael and forty copper coins?"

The officer poured out the contents of the money bag on the ground and counted it. Sure enough, it was half a dime of broken silver and forty copper coins!

The onlookers were immediately in an uproar.

"Ah, it's really like what the woman said, it's so much money!"

"If you can even guess the number of copper coins, then this money bag must belong to the woman!"

"That man really stole it!"

The wretched man also started to panic. He didn't expect that the number of copper coins was really forty as the man said!

what happened?

Why doesn't he remember stealing the money bag?

The wretched man refused to give up and continued, "You must have made a wild guess! Who doesn't have any money on me? I just went to buy food and took out the money and you discovered it, so you only know the amount of money!"

Chen Changsheng remained silent.

"Did you see? She didn't speak, so I must have guessed her! It's you who knew the amount of money I had on me a long time ago, and you have been following me, waiting to frame me!" the wretched man shouted with blood on his face.

The officer frowned and looked at him, then looked at his own hands and asked in confusion, "What is this?"

After speaking, he stuck out his tongue and licked it. It tasted sour and sweet, "It's hawthorn pieces? How come there are hawthorn pieces?"

But the melon-eaters watching remembered something.

"Sir, I know! This woman and her children are selling tofu puffs at the pier. The ingredients of the tofu puffs are brown sugar and hawthorn chips. I just bought a bowl to drink."

"Yes! I also bought a bowl. It must have been when she was collecting the money that the hawthorn foam was stained on her hand and fell into the money bag. You must have gotten some of it on your hand just after you counted the copper coins."

"Ah, I remembered that the handsome young man also bought two bowls just now, and even gave half a tael of silver to the child. He was very generous!"

"He must have been targeted by the little thief, so he first stole the woman's money, and then wanted to attack the young master."

"That's it!"

"..."

The people around you said something to me, and everyone turned into the detective Di Renjie.

Chen Changsheng then said, "Everyone has seen it, right? First the red rope tie, then half a tael of silver, forty copper coins, and the broken hawthorn. All these indicate that it was not me who framed the frame, but that it was indeed the thief. Steal my money.

My children and I got up before dawn to start a small food business to earn hard money, but this person stole it! Lord Yamen must make the decision for civilian women! "

The wretched man turned pale and collapsed on the ground, muttering to himself, "How could it be possible? How could it be possible?"

The Yamen's head was buzzing from the noise, "Stop arguing! Now that the matter is clear, it's you who stole someone's money bag and you still want to make excuses. Be careful if I punch you again! Take it away!"

Without saying a word, the two cadres stepped forward to pick up the wretched man who was yelling "ouch" and left.

The commotion on Chen Changsheng's side was a bit loud, which attracted the attention of people on the dock platform.

Shen Bohu and Bai Xiao were anxious on the second floor of the passenger ship. They heard from Manager Wu that the two of them had changed into men's clothes and ran out without a servant. They didn't know where they were now.

Manager Wu exclaimed in shock, "Master, those two people seem to be the eldest lady and Mrs. Bai."

Shen Bohu and Bai Xiao looked in the direction of Steward Wu's finger, and immediately saw Shen Jianing and Qin Tingyu among the crowd on the shore, as well as several government officials around them.

Shen Bohu's face darkened, he waved and whispered a few words to Manager Wu, while Bai Xiao said a few words to Xiaoyu, the attendant who was accompanying him. Manager Wu and Xiaoyu immediately went downstairs and went ashore towards Dongjing.

The remaining official said to Chen Changsheng, Qin Tingyu, and Shen Jianing, "You guys also come with me and make a record."

Although these three people are on duty at the county government, Bai Xiao and Qin Tingyu just arrived at the government office yesterday to report, and not everyone in the government office has recognized them yet. Moreover, Qin Tingyu and Shen Jianing were dressed as men again today, so the three of them did not recognize that one of them was the county magistrate's wife.

Firstly, Qin Tingyu ran out in men's clothes and did not want to cause trouble to Bai Xiao. Secondly, because Shen Jianing had just said that she had been touched on the buttocks. If she publicly admitted that she was a woman now, it would be bad for the little girl's family's reputation. After much hesitation, she did not reveal her identity.

"We've already checked it out just now, why are we still allowed to follow?" Shen Jianing was frightened just now and her mood has not yet calmed down. Now the yamen official asked them to go to the county yamen again, and she was absolutely unwilling.

The official looked displeased.

Chen Changsheng picked up the copper plates and half a dime of broken silver from the ground and put them into the money bag. He smiled and stuffed them into the hand of the yamen officer, "These officials just solved the case so quickly. They have to be on duty at the dock on such a hot day. It's really hard." Thanks for your hard work."

Ya Chai's face suddenly looked much better.

She continued, "I think these two young gentlemen dressed in unusual clothes seem to be a little frightened. I guess their families will come looking for them later. Now that the matter has been clarified, it is better to do more than to do less. I'd like to bother the officials. Let me see how to deal with it."
