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

Haizhi County said seriously: "Did you ask He Yueqing and Shen Xiaolou to hide the fact that they were married?"

"Yes" Mei Changqing replied

Haizhi County asked again: "Has Shen Xiaolou told you that he and He Yueqing want to reveal their identity as husband and wife?"

"He told me, but I didn't agree! If it were made public, it would definitely affect our theater's profit! I'm not that stupid!" Mei Changqing answered confidently

Haizhi County asked again: "You have to take 60% of the money the guests give to He Yueqing and Shen Xiaolou. He Yueqing and Shen Xiaolou can only take 40%, right?"

"Ah, yes, yes, Master Hai, how did you know?" Mei Changqing answered with a slight hesitation this time.

Haizhixian smiled slightly, did not answer his question, and continued to ask: "Last question, who are your aunt and uncle?"

"My uncle is..." As Mei Changqing finished speaking, he suddenly hesitated and said with a smile: "Oh, Mr. Hai, I'm sorry, my uncle won't let me mention him outside. He doesn't like publicity!"

Haizhi County smiled and stopped asking any more questions. He was suddenly startled: "He Yueqing, Shen Xiaolou comes forward to hear the verdict!"

After hearing this, He Yueqing and Shen Xiaolou hurriedly walked to the front of the hall and knelt down.

Mr. Hai said loudly: "You two are actors, but you don't sing well. For the sake of fame and money, you have evil thoughts, conceal your marriage status, and defraud others of their money. It is really dishonest and evil!"

"If you two return the money, you will be rewarded two hundred taels of silver. You should be sentenced to prison. The county recognizes that you two have difficulties and are repentant, so they will be exempted from punishment and fined fifty taels of silver instead." Drive away from Wangtian County”

"From now on, you two are no longer allowed to perform on stage in Wangtian County. You two go back to the countryside to raise your children!"

"Thank you, Sir." After hearing this, He Yueqing and Shen Xiaolou kowtowed and stepped aside.

Mei Changqing, who was on the side, looked a little surprised when he heard this. He opened his mouth, as if he had something to say, but seeing Lord Hai's majestic expression, he didn't dare to say anything.

"Pah!" Haizhi County was shocked again: "Mei Changqing hears the verdict!"

Mei Changqing walked to the front of the hall and knelt down.

Haizhi County said sternly: "Mei Changqing, as the owner of a big theater, used deceptive means to make profits and defraud the spectators of their rewards. This is really the work of a profiteer! He has no regrets and deserves a heavy punishment!"

"Mei Changqing returned Qian Dagui's reward of 300 taels of silver, which should have been punished, but this county considers your first offense to be open to one side and fine you 20 taels of silver!"

"As a businessman, integrity is the foundation. I hope you will think about your mistakes. If you dare to do it again, you will be punished severely!"

Mei Changqing couldn't believe her ears, she looked up at Haizhi County and was stunned!

I thought: Haizhi County was smiling at me just now, why did he suddenly turn his back on me now?

Damn it, no wonder others call him the King of Hell!

"Master Hai, I don't accept it!" Mei Changqing regained consciousness and said loudly

Haizhixian said sternly: "What's your objection?"

"Which law stipulates that I must tell the guests whether the actor is married?" Mei Changqing said loudly

After hearing this, Haizhi County sneered: "Hmph, not only did you not tell the guests that He Yueqing and Shen Xiaolou were married, you also deliberately told the guests that they were not married!"

"Come on, show him "The Law of the Dragon"!"

The clerk on the side listened to the order and took the "Dalong Code" and walked to Mei Changqing and pointed to the specific provisions on it.

Mei Changqing looked at it and said: "I, does this count as cheating?"

"Pah!" Haizhi County was stunned again: "How dare you, Mei Changqing, to quibble!"

“It’s fine if an illiterate country man doesn’t know the Law of the Great Dragon!”

"The imperial court has strictly ordered all subjects to be familiar with the "Great Dragon Code" several times. You, a son of a wealthy family and a literate person, do not know the "Great Dragon Code". You are clearly contemptuous of the court and the king's law!"

"This county will punish you by copying the "Dragon Law" ten times, and you will be punished twenty times! Retreat!"

After hearing this, Mei Changqing's face turned pale. Still unwilling to give in, she shouted again: "Master Hai, I, I still have something to say!"

"What else can you say?" Haizhixian asked

Mei Changqing said: "Qian Dagui said that he rewarded five hundred taels of silver. Does he have evidence?"

"If he says he rewarded him with a thousand taels, do I still have to refund a thousand taels of silver?"

Haizhi County listened and nodded: "Mei Changqing, you asked well!"

"Litigation Master Zhang, come and tell Boss Mei why this county recognized Qian Dagui and rewarded him with five hundred taels of silver."

After hearing this, Attorney Zhang hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Okay, sir."

Then he looked at Mei Changqing and said, "Boss Mei, you don't know yet, do you?"

"Although Mr. Qian is young and ignorant, his father, Mr. Qian, the owner of the village, is a shrewd man."

"Old Master Qian is very strict with Mr. Qian and requires him to keep an account for every expense."

"So, every time Mr. Qian gives a reward, his followers will record in detail the time, place, amount, and who the reward was given to!"

"Since the beginning of He Yueqing and Shen Xiaolou's show, Mr. Qian has been attending every game, and every time, he has given the most rewards. Everyone present can prove this!"

"The appearance numbers of He Yueqing and Shen Xiaolou are consistent with Mr. Qian's account."

"The specific accounting evidence has been submitted to Mr. Hai when we filed the complaint!"

"So, Boss Mei, it's not unfair at all to ask you to refund three hundred taels of silver!"

After speaking, Mr. Zhang bowed to Haizhi County and stepped aside.

Haizhi County shouted loudly: "Mei Changqing, do you have anything else to say? No, let's execute him! Come on, drag him out and beat him with forty big boards!"

Seeing that Mei Changqing was really going to beat him, she was so frightened that she knelt down with a plop: "Master Hai, I, I have one more request!"

"Master Hai, I have been sickly and sickly since I was a child, and my body and bones are very weak. I really don't need beatings!"

"I, can I pay a fine in lieu of a beating? I am willing to pay an extra fifty, oh, no, one hundred taels of silver as a fine. Please spare me the forty bucks!"

"You are so presumptuous that the law is nothing to play with. Do you think this county is as greedy for money as you are?" Mr. Hai said angrily.

Then he said: "Since you said you are weak, it doesn't matter, this county is also a compassionate person."

"Then let's play 20 big shots today. After your club injury is healed, you can play 20 big shots again!"

"Come on, drag him down and beat him!"

When Mei Changqing heard this, she almost fainted and fought separately? If you still have to suffer the punishment twice, you might as well finish it off in one go!

The government officials on both sides came up, dragged Mei Changqing away, and Mei Changqing shouted anxiously: "Master Hai, please forgive me, I am the nephew of Yuan Wai Lu, and my uncle is Yuan Wai Lu..."

When people outside heard this, they went crazy again:

"Oh, we've been making trouble for a long time, he's Mr. Lu's nephew!"

"Why haven't you heard of it before? Yuan Wai Lu has always kept a low profile. I never heard that he has such a nephew."

"I do know that Yuan Lu has a sister who is married to the Mei family in Huaizhou Prefecture. Could this be his sister's son?"

"Oh, I heard that the Mei family is also a wealthy family. Why do you want your son to come to Wangtian County to manage this big theater?"

"Oh, Master Hai hit Mr. Lu's nephew. Doesn't that mean he was slapping Mr. Lu in the face?"

"The prince has committed the same crime as the common people when he breaks the law. What's wrong with Mr. Lu's nephew? I support Mr. Hai!"

"Yes, Mr. Hai is an upright official. He is not afraid of people other than Yuan Lu!"

……

Everyone was talking and talking about it

After Wang Yugui heard this, he secretly cursed Mei Changqing for being a fool. Who is calling you uncle at this time? Aren't you trying to trick your uncle?
