Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

Chapter 158 Exchange money for 2 Ya’s freedom

I haven't seen her for a while, but I didn't expect that Shen Ping has become more beautiful, she has lost a lot of weight, and her face has become fairer. This sight made Yang Wei unable to take his eyes away.

"Ms. Shen, I haven't seen her for a few days. She has become so beautiful that she is almost unrecognizable." Yang Wei laughed, which seemed incompatible with the sinister appearance.

"Steward Yang is really good at joking!" Shen Ping said with a smile. Even though Steward Yang was getting close to her now, he was also someone who could eat people without spitting out their bones.

I remember that at that time I couldn't afford to pay back ten taels of silver, so I had to use Lele to pay off the debt! "

Seeing that Manager Yang had arrived, Magistrate Xu sent people to bring Liu Neng and his son to the hall and kneel down. He also asked the clerk of the yamen to write a letter of release for Liu Neng. After writing the letter of release, Liu Neng had Liu Neng stamp it with his handprint and seal.

"Sir, this Shen Ping hasn't paid back the money for us yet. Let her pay back the money for us first!" Liu Gao looked at it, stopped Liu Neng from stamping his fingerprints, and said quickly.

"Snapped!"

County Magistrate Xu was stunned and shouted: "How outrageous! I have my own sense of discretion. It's not your turn to dictate the housework."

Liu Gao was scolded by the county magistrate. He immediately shrank his head and did not dare to say anything again.

The clerk brought his wife's letter on a tray and asked Liu Neng to stamp it with his fingerprints. Liu Gao and Dou also stamped their fingerprints.

Finally, the document was brought to Shen Ping, and Shen Ping also stamped it with her fingerprints.

The wife's release letter was witnessed by the husband and wife and the parents of both parties at the same time, stamped with handprints and signatures, and made in triplicate. One copy was given to the Yamen for safekeeping, and each husband and wife kept one copy.

Because it was inconvenient for Erya to come out, Shen Ping specifically explained the reason to Magistrate Xu. In addition, it was the woman's subjective consciousness that asked the man to write a letter of release, so her mother did it for her, and there was also the witness of the county magistrate, so she did not need to appear in person.

The clerk then read out the contents of the letter to let go of his wife. When he read the words "separate from each other and have nothing to do with each other in the future", the corner of Shen Ping's mouth twitched.

Finally, under the witness of County Magistrate Xu, both parties stamped their fingerprints and signed the document, and the document brought the wife's release letter to the Magistrate's desk.

Magistrate Xu checked the wife release documents and nodded. With an expression that was calm but powerful, he looked at Yang Wei standing aside and said, "Yang Wei, how much money does Liu Neng owe your gambling house?"

Yang Wei quickly bowed his hands, bent down and saluted: "Sir, Liu Neng owes our gambling house a total of 240 taels of silver!"

"how is this possible!"

Liu Neng was shocked, his face suddenly turned pale, and he quickly said: "Manager Yang, I only borrowed 210 taels in total, how did it become 240 taels?"

"That's it, how come it's only a few days? There are dozens more taels, you might as well grab them." Dou also said loudly.

After listening to Liu Neng's words, Yang Wei said calmly: "Yes, you owed 210 taels of silver at the beginning, but this is already the third day, and the daily interest is 10 taels of silver.

This IOU is written in black and white! If you don’t repay the interest after three days, it will double again. Sir, if you don’t believe me, look at it! "After speaking, Yang Wei handed the IOU to the clerk standing beside him.

The clerk took the IOU and presented it to Magistrate Xu.

What Yang Wei said was right. This is indeed what was written in black and white on the IOU. Looking at the eye-catching item above, Magistrate Xu frowned.

"Oops!"

Seeing the county magistrate's frown, Yang Wei's heart skipped a beat again.

The IOU does say that the daily interest is ten taels of silver, which will double after three days.

But there is a more important thing, that is, if Liu Neng cannot pay back the money after a week, then he will use his wife as a pledge.

Because it was my own idea at the time, I thought that if I couldn't get the money back from Liu Neng, I would snatch his wife away and send her to Chunxiang Tower. I thought that this would definitely force Shen Ping to help Liu Neng pay off his debt.

I never imagined that things would go so smoothly now. Shen Ping actually agreed to pay off Liu Neng's debt. And he took the matter to court.

Now that the IOU was in Magistrate Xu's hand, Yang Wei broke into a cold sweat. It was all his own fault for forgetting this item.

Magistrate Xu had just taken over and was known as an upright official. If he caught any evidence, it would bring trouble to the gambling house.

Moreover, the shopkeeper said that he had been warned by his superiors that he must not let Magistrate Xu target Hongyuan Gambling House.

If something went wrong, his life would be at risk. Thinking of this, Yang Wei didn't dare to breathe.

"Snapped!"

Magistrate Xu slapped the alarm again and shouted loudly: "How dare you, Yang Wei, Liu Neng originally owed 210 silver, but this compound profit turned out to be so much.

It seems that there are many things going on in your Hongyuan Gambling House. You hid it from me, and you also wanted to force a good girl into prostitution. You acted recklessly under my nose. What crime should you be punished for? "

Magistrate Xu was so frightened that Yang Wei knelt down and kowtowed: "Sir, please forgive me! I just want to scare Liu Neng so that he can pay back the money as soon as possible!"

snort!

Magistrate Xu raised his eyebrows. After he took office, he heard from Master Shi that there was someone behind the Hongyuan Gambling House. He didn't know if it was related to that person. He heard that the background was not small and involved too many things, so he asked him to investigate secretly.

I have been struggling with nowhere to start, but I didn't expect to see the flaw now. I think Chunxiang Tower must be inextricably linked to Hongyuan Gambling House.

But we can't scare the snake now. Thinking of this, County Magistrate Xu looked at Yang Wei calmly and said calmly: "Yang Wei, according to my wishes, Liu Neng owes you 210 taels of silver for the gambling house. He will pay back 210 taels.

Let's talk to your shopkeeper. I believe he won't have any objections. What do you think? " Magistrate Xu's calm words made Yang Wei shudder.

He couldn't understand what Magistrate Xu meant, but his intuition told him that something was wrong. Then he remembered what the shopkeeper said, not letting Magistrate Xu target Hongyuan Gambling House.

Thinking of this, Yang Wei nodded like a fool: "My lord, Liu Neng can just pay back 210 taels."

Seeing Magistrate Xu frowning when he saw the IOU, Shen Ping was also curious, what was written on the IOU?

She didn't know why, but she always felt that what the county magistrate and Yang Wei said was a bit strange and subtle, but she couldn't understand it or figure out what it was.

After listening to what Yang Wei said, Shen Ping took out two 100 taels of silver notes and 10 taels of cash, and handed them to the clerk. The clerk then presented the bank note and the money to the county magistrate for inspection.

After Magistrate Xu checked, the clerk gave the money to Yang Wei and the IOU and the wife's release letter to Shen Ping.

This letter of release was made in triplicate, one was kept in the county office for safekeeping, one was given to Shen Ping, and the other was given to Liu Neng.

When Liu Neng saw that Shen Ping paid off his gambling debt for him and got the wife's release letter, he felt mixed in his heart. He was relieved that the gambling debt was finally paid off.

He signed the letter of letting go of his wife, and he and Erya were officially divorced. Unexpectedly, Erya was pregnant with his own child, and he himself killed his own child. Letting her go like this could be regarded as atonement for himself.

Shen Ping took these two pieces of paper and breathed a sigh of relief, sighing in her heart that these were the two pieces of paper she had exchanged for more than 200 taels of silver, but these two pieces of paper were Erya's lifelong freedom.

It was the original owner's sin to let Erya get married in the past, now let her slowly make up for it.
