After time travel, I ate glutinous rice bran in ancient times

Early the next morning, people on the street came to the county government office in groups to watch the excitement.

Today, Haizhi County is going to court to hear the case of Young Master Qian suing He Yueqing and Shen Xiaolou for defrauding money rewards.

Wang Yugui and his second sister also came to watch the excitement outside the county government office. There were too many people watching, and Wang Yugui finally managed to grab a seat slightly forward and stand firm.

After a burst of "mighty...", Haizhi County was promoted to court!

Wang Yugui looked inside and saw that Haizhi County, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, was still energetic, upright and had a strong aura.

"Pah!" Haizhi County was stunned: "Come on, bring both parties to the court!"

The officials on both sides obeyed the order, and soon He Yueqing, Shen Xiaolou and a middle-aged man were brought to the hall.

Wang Yugui frowned and thought to himself: I didn't expect Mr. Qian to be a middle-aged man. I thought he was a young man!

After the three people entered the hall, they saluted Haizhi County. Haizhi County said loudly: "Whoever is standing in the hall, please tell me your name!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man stepped forward and said, "I am Zhang Wenjing, the litigator of Mr. Qian, the master of Qian Dagui. I have been entrusted by Mr. Qian to litigate this case on his behalf!"

Wang Yugui was a little surprised when he heard this, "Litigator?" Isn’t that a lawyer?

Ah, this Mr. Qian is quite fashionable and even hired professionals to help him litigate!

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, please step aside." Haizhixian nodded.

Shen Xiaolou stepped forward and said: "Shen Xiaolou, a small citizen, is a niche student of the big theater."

He Yueqing stepped forward and said: "He Yueqing, a humble citizen, is the leading actress of the big theater!"

"Pa" Haizhi County was shocked and said loudly: "He Yueqing, Shen Xiaolou, Qian Dagui, Mr. Qian is accusing you of concealing the fact that you are married and defrauding him of his high reward, a total of five hundred taels of silver. Is this possible?"

As soon as these words came out, before He Yueqing and Shen Xiaolou spoke, the people watching outside were in a panic:

"Wow, five hundred taels of silver, so much!"

"Wow, five hundred taels, how many girls can you buy? This rich man is really rich!"

"Wow, with five hundred taels of silver, you can go to Yihong Mansion to buy two high-class girls."

……

"Master Hai, you are wronged!" He Yueqing shouted, "You are wronged" and fell to the ground.

He Yueqing dressed very simply and low-key today, and her face was very haggard, but it was still clear at a glance that she was a lovely person.

He Yueqing cried: "Sir, Xiaomin is just an opera singer, Mr. Qian is an opera listener, and the rewards are based on the rules of the big theater."

"Master Qian, he rewards all of his own volition, there is no such thing as cheating!"

"He Yueqing, are you married? When did you get married? To whom?" Haizhi County did not answer her words and asked directly

He Yueqing hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Xiaomin got married three years ago, to senior brother Shen Xiaolou!"

"Shen Xiaolou, is what He Yueqing said true?" Haizhi County asked Shen Xiaolou again

Shen Xiaolou nodded and replied: "It's true, He Yueqing is indeed my wife."

"He Yueqing, does Mr. Qian know that you are married?" Haizhi County asked again

He Yueqing said: "I don't know if he knows! Sir, I am just an opera singer, Mr. Qian is just a guest of our theater, there is no need for me to tell him my personal affairs!"

"Sir, I have something to say," Zhang Liangshi suddenly said loudly.

Haizhixian nodded: "Speak!"

Attorney Zhang stepped forward and said, "Sir, He Yueqing is lying!"

"Every time Mr. Qian gives you the highest reward, according to the rules of the theater, the person with the highest reward can ask the leading actress or young student to enter the private room for a chat!"

"He Yueqing went into the private room many times to talk and drink with Mr. Qian. The first time Mr. Qian saw her, he asked her if she was a match."

"She told Mr. Qian that she only cared about singing and nothing else!"

"She coaxed Mr. Qian to continue to reward him. Not only did she reward her, she also asked Mr. Qian to take care of his senior brother Shen Xiaolou."

"That's why Mr. Qian keeps giving rewards to them!"

"Sir, He Yueqing's behavior is fraud! Not only Mr. Qian thinks she is an unmarried girl, but everyone outside also thinks so. It can be seen that this couple of actors and actresses have been deceiving people!"

"Sir, what I said above is true. I still have witnesses!"

"Two of Master Qian's personal followers and several other young masters who often give rewards can prove this. They have also submitted papers to the Yamen accusing He Yueqing of being married and pretending to be unmarried to defraud the reward money!"

"In fact, anyone who has seen a theater in the city or knows the theater will mistakenly think that He Yueqing and Shen Xiaolou are not married!"

"According to the "Great Dragon Law", the money obtained through fraud should be returned to the owner, and the deceiver should also be punished! Please be careful!"

After a long speech, Mr. Zhang politely stepped aside.

Haizhi County nodded and looked at He Yueqing and Shen Xiaolou: "Did you both hear what Mr. Qian's lawyer just said?"

They both nodded and said, "I heard it!"

"But, Mr. Hai, you can't just listen to those litigants. Let me just say one thing. I, He Yueqing, am a singer, not a prostitute. Whether I am married or not has nothing to do with Mr. Qian's reward or not."

"Master Qian is rewarding my play, not me!" He Yueqing refused to accept it and continued to quibble.

Haizhi County smiled slightly: "He Yueqing, if you say so, why did you go into the private room to talk and drink with me?"

"You didn't sing that play alone. If you weren't so interested in you, why would Mr. Qian only reward you and not other actors?"

"This... it's the theater's rule to go into private rooms to talk and drink. I, I can't help it."

"He, why does he only reward me? It's because he likes my singing skills." He Yueqing also tried to argue, but her voice was much softer.

Haizhi County's face suddenly sank, and he slapped the crowd with surprise: "He Yueqing, Shen Xiaolou, you guys are making unreasonable sophistry even though you know you are wrong!"

"You two are well-known characters in the city. Even this county has always thought that you two are not married. Everyone outside thinks that you two are not married. It is obvious that you deliberately concealed the facts and deceived the onlookers!"

"He Yueqing, as someone else's wife, can't you really see why Mr. Qian gave you so much silver reward?"

"You know it clearly, but you still pretend to be confused, deliberately defrauding the young master into giving you a reward, and you dare to quibble in the court. You are really not a kind person!"

"Just now, Advocate Zhang mentioned the "Dragon Law", didn't you two hear clearly?"

"Those who defraud people of money will not only have to pay back the money in full, but they will also be punished!"

"Do you know what punishment is? Even you two have to go to jail!"

As soon as he heard that he not only had to pay back the money, but also be imprisoned, He Yueqing immediately collapsed to the ground, and Shen Xiaolou couldn't bear it anymore. He knelt down and said loudly: "Master Hai, we have been wronged, we have been wronged!"

"We have no choice but to do this because boss Mei Changqingmei asked us to do this!"
