Shen Yue, who wanted to be angry, was so frightened that she swallowed the angry reprimands when she raised her eyes to see the head and physique of the thug.

"Y-How much do I owe?"

The expressionless thug took the account book from the record boy on the side, flipped through a few pages, looked at the final amount and said indifferently: "No more, no less, one thousand taels." ”

"What?! A thousand taels?! "Don't say it's a thousand taels, now she can't take out a hundred taels even if Shen Yue'e is asked to take it out.

"Impossible, I just bet so much, how can I lose a thousand taels?" Shen Yue, who didn't want to believe this amount, stepped back with her eyes wide.

But for a guest like her, the thug has seen too much, and he didn't change his expression at all because of her panic and disbelief, "Gold, the amount you gambled on is gold, so it's a thousand taels of gold." ”

Shen Yue, who was already shocked by the thousand taels of silver she owed, now felt that her eyes were black after hearing this.

She couldn't even take out a thousand taels of silver, so how could she get a thousand taels of gold?!

Knowing that she couldn't take it out, he pulled out a dagger from behind him without the slightest hesitation, and stated extremely calmly, "One finger is a hundred taels." ”

Shen Yue, who was thinking about what to do, watched the thug suddenly pull out the dagger, and suddenly her legs became weak in fright, and she collapsed directly to the ground.

His lips trembled and he begged for mercy with a slurred speech, "Don't ...... Don't, I'...... I give money, yes, I give money! ”

The thug who had already put the dagger on Shen Yue's little finger stopped his still moving hand after hearing this.

But Shen Yue, who said that she wanted to repay the money, where could she get a thousand taels of gold to repay the debt?

"I—I don't have that much money on me right now. My name is Zhuang Mingyue, I am the dean of Egret Academy, I will give you an IOU first, and I will send money when I go back! ”

The thug who listened to this, looked at Shen Yue'e's panicked expression, and then recalled what the steward had just said to him, and finally asked the bookkeeper to write an IOU.

Shen Yue, who signed the IOU in the name of Zhuang Mingyue, hurriedly ran down the first floor from the second floor after pressing the red seal, and then hurriedly ran out of the casino, as if there was a flood beast chasing after her.

Shen Yue, who returned home, did not mention this matter to anyone, let alone repay the huge sum of 1,000 taels of gold.

One is because she doesn't have so many silver taels at all, and more because of that. She used Zhuang Mingyue's name, which means that as long as she doesn't admit it, then the person who will be in trouble in the casino at that time is Zhuang Mingyue, and it will have nothing to do with her Shen Yue.

In the next few days, Shen Yue'e completely concealed this matter, and deliberately avoided Zhuang Mingyue.

Zhuang Mingyue was not unaware of Shen Yue's abnormality, but she also had a lot of things, and if she could not contradict Shen Yue, it was naturally impossible to take the initiative to stir up trouble and waste precious time.

Although Shen Yue'e pretended that nothing had happened, this incident did not mean that it really ended like this.

If you don't see "Zhuang Mingyue" go to the casino to repay the money, you will soon find the banker's courtyard and come to ask for a thousand taels of gold in person.

Listening to the words of the person in front of her, Zhuang Mingyue only felt full of absurdity, "A thousand taels of gold? I'm afraid that Mr. has recognized the wrong person, I am indeed Zhuang Mingyue, so I have never been to a casino, let alone owe so much gold in gambling. ”

The accountant who heard this, his own face that was still smiling and groaning, also sank at this moment.

I saw that he directly put down the salute in his hand, and then said in a very cold tone, "Miss Zhuang, don't deny it like this, people who gamble here in us will leave evidence in the casino, if you don't recognize it, then we will see you directly in court!" ”

At this moment, Zhuang Mingyue was busy teaching in the academy, and looked at the two people in front of him, who didn't look like the so-called casino people at all, so he subconsciously thought that they had found the wrong person.

After all, she really hasn't been to a casino, so it's even more unlikely that she can think so easily, and the culprit of this matter will be Shen Yue'e.

"I'm sorry, I have something very important to do now, and I can't accompany you." After saying this, Zhuang Mingyue ignored the obstruction of the two of them, and directly spared the side.

The two people who didn't catch her could only watch Zhuang Mingyue leave in front of them like this.

Zhuang Mingyue, who didn't take this matter seriously at the moment, didn't know what the consequences of her handling this matter in such a hurry were.

Zhuang Mingyue, who drove to the Egret Academy, was a little short of in time to leave school because of the obstruction of the two people in the casino.

"What we are going to learn today is ......"

Zhuang Mingyue's class was in the middle of the day, and by the time she hurried to the academy to start teaching, the sun on the horizon had just slowly risen from the east, and it was not strong.

As the sun rises, little by little, towards the center of the sky, and when it becomes smaller and smaller, the daylight in the academy also becomes a little hot.

"What ...... this?"

Zhuang Mingyue, who was lecturing, was directly interrupted by the little scholar who hurriedly ran in from outside before the class was finished, "Sir, something is wrong!" ”

Zhuang Mingyue, who was suddenly interrupted like this, naturally couldn't say that her expression was very good, but when she saw the anxious look of the little scholar, she also understood in her heart.

Something big must have happened, otherwise this little scholar, who has always been quite calm, would never make such a mistake of interrupting the lecture.

Knowing this, he slowly put down the book in his hand, and looked at the students below with a calm expression, "Study and discuss first, and there will be other masters coming over in a while." ”

After saying these words again, Zhuang Mingyue followed the little scholar and walked out.

"What happened to make you panic like this......"

Before Zhuang Mingyue could finish asking, a few catchers came out in front of the two, and the moment they saw Zhuang Mingyue, they walked directly in her direction, "Zhuang Mingyue? ”

Although the words were questionable, Zhuang Mingyue had already heard a sense of certainty from them.

Seeing these quick catches, Zhuang Mingyue also knew why the little scholar said something bad was wrong, but she didn't know what happened.

"Grab it!" The leader of the catcher quickly commanded the two catchers behind him.

Looking at the two catchers who suddenly rushed up, Zhuang Mingyue did not panic, but first comforted the little scholar beside her, and then instructed: "You go back first, let Master Lu come over to teach, don't spread this matter first, just wait for me to come back." ”

The little scholar who was appeased was not very bold in his own right, and now he was scared when he saw this kind of scene, and now when he heard the words, he nodded a little stunned, "Okay, okay, I'll wait for Mr. to come back, sir...... You'll definitely be back, right? ”

Looking at the little scholar's appearance, Zhuang Mingyue was amused and wanted to laugh, "Yes, don't worry." ”

The two trappers who had already restrained Zhuang Mingyue with a wooden frame no longer gave her any chance to speak, and directly left the Egret Academy and rushed in the direction of the official mansion.

And along the way, Zhuang Mingyue didn't ask the reason for the quick mouth, and only when he stood on the court and saw the two casino people who asked him for debts during the day, did he understand when it happened.

"My lord, this is the person, who obviously owes me a thousand taels of gold in the store, but when we went to ask for it, not only did he not admit it but also ran away, and he asked the lord to make the decision for us!"

Hearing this, the county Cheng immediately set his eyes on Zhuang Mingyue's body, and asked extremely seriously, "Zhuang's, since you already owe the casino a thousand taels of gold, and say that it will be returned within three days, why don't you return it?" ”

Zhuang Mingyue, who didn't go to gamble at all, looked at the county and said honestly: "Back to my lord, the people didn't go to the casino at all, and it is impossible to owe a thousand taels of gold, please be aware of it!" ”

The man in the long shirt who was refuted, looked at Zhuang Mingyue who did not admit the debt he owed, and suddenly his anger swelled up, "No debt?!" I didn't expect you, an unmarried woman, to be so shameless! ”

The man in the long shirt who reprimanded Zhuang Mingyue, then took out a piece of rice paper directly from his sleeve and raised it above his head, "Lord Qiqi, this is the IOU that Zhuang signed and drew with his own hands after owing a thousand taels of gold that day, and please ask your Excellency to see it!" ”

When she saw the IOU, Zhuang Mingyue was also shocked, even if she couldn't see how it was written on the rice paper, she could guess that her name must have been written on it, and there was even her handprint of "Zhuang Mingyue".

The little guy on the side passed the rice paper to the hands of the county Cheng, glanced at it slightly, and then wrinkled directly, and then stared at Zhuang Mingyue with blazing eyes, "Zhuang's, this black and white IOU is here, what else do you have to quibble!" ”

Looking at the look on the county Cheng, Zhuang Mingyue knew that something was wrong.

"My lord, the folk girl has never been to this casino, let alone signed an IOU with a thousand taels of gold!"

Seeing that Zhuang Mingyue still didn't admit it, the county Cheng's face also turned cold, and he picked up the town platform on the right hand, "Bold Zhuang, dare to lie in the court!" ”

"Please also be enlightened! The folk girl really never owed such a debt, and this IOU was never signed by me! Zhuang Mingyue, who was wronged, bowed to the county, and then slowly turned his head and looked at the man in the long shirt in the casino, "Or, this so-called IOU is fake!" ”

As soon as Zhuang Mingyue's words came out, the crowd of onlookers outside the yamen also talked about it.
