After traveling through time, she took her husband to be a food doctor

Li Xingjian had just finished inspecting the autumn harvest in the fields and was exhausted. After listening to the case, he rubbed his brows.

"Yue Lao San, do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know? This IOU is useless."

"Sir, this is what Boss Bai promised personally and wrote down with his own hands. There are people who can testify to it. How can it be invalid..." Yue Laosan pointed at Aying next to him.

"Yes, I was there when I borrowed the money that day, and I guarantee it's true."

"Yue Lao San, I have another question for you. When you lend money to others, do you always ask for interest in this way?"

"That's not the case... no..."

"Yue Lao San, you should be thankful. If you really had gotten three hundred taels of silver, you would have to be beaten with forty sticks by me first."

"I dare not." Yue Lao San trembled with fear.

"The IOU says 30% interest, which is the highest it can get. 'The interest is no more than 30%, even if the years pass, it's still just 10% interest'. From what Captain Ling said, you knew all this. So, did you commit this crime knowingly?"

"I don't dare, it was Boss Bai who said that..."

"Sir, my husband must have been framed. He has been doing business for so many years, how could he agree to such conditions and put himself in harm's way?" The proprietress interrupted him.

"How would I know? It's written right here in black and white..."

The two began to argue again.

Li Xingjian slammed the gavel and both sides fell silent.

"Boss Bai has passed away, and the past cannot be retrieved. Today, in front of me, you two should settle this matter. One hundred taels of silver, three percent interest, eight months. Bai Mengshi, do you have one hundred and twenty-four taels of silver?"

"Thank you, sir. I'm ready." The proprietress turned her head and motioned for Amu to hand over the box in his hand.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the money was paid. If it weren't for the cloth tied on her hand, the lady boss would have torn the IOU into pieces. God knows what she did to collect the 124 taels of silver - she ruthlessly fired her long-time assistant, got up early and went to bed late every day, and did everything herself; after the epidemic, the business was bad and the profit was limited. In order to save money, she and Amu had not eaten a piece of meat for half a year; she sold the more than ten acres of land that she and her husband had bought with great difficulty, and sold the jewelry she brought as a dowry...

Yue Lao San was furious, but he didn't dare to do anything in front of Li Xingjian. The money issue was settled, and he thought about talking about the injury caused by the hot water.

"Sir, this woman poured scalding hot water on the four of us and injured our brothers' heads. Please take care of this."

"Sir, I was in a desperate situation and acted impulsively to protect my shop and my own life. Otherwise, you will have to hand over the house deed and sell my body to them." The proprietress explained quickly.

"Sir, I would never dare to do such a thing. I just want to get my money back. If you don't believe me, you can ask Captain Ling and the other officials. The only water in the shop was the one she spilled. Everything else is fine. As for this woman, I have wives and concubines at home. How could I be interested in this broken woman?"

"You..." The proprietress was shaking with anger.

"Of course you dare!" Nan Xing on the side couldn't help it, and everyone looked at him.

Lin Mingxuan took a step forward and bowed, and Nanxing quickly followed.

"Sir, this man is my servant, named Nanxing. We once went to the tea shop to buy tea and saw with our own eyes that Master Yue behaved inappropriately." Lin Mingxuan said.

"Yes, sir, he said that if he couldn't pay the money, the shop would belong to him, and he wanted to turn it into a wine shop, and the proprietress would follow him." Nanxing continued.

As soon as these words came out, Yue Lao San and Ah Ying looked at each other and immediately realized that this doctor was the pretty boy who bought tea that day. No wonder he looked so familiar. The two of them kowtowed quickly: "Sir, I dare not, I am innocent, they must have colluded and deliberately framed me."

"Sir." Captain Ling stepped forward. "About ten days ago, I received a letter. The content of the letter is exactly the same as what Doctor Lin said. Considering the peace of the streets and the safety of the people, I carefully observed the teahouse and saw that Yue Lao San's attitude was indeed bad, so I warned him a few times. I think what Doctor Lin and the other two said is credible."

Ding Xirui silently gave Ling Junsheng a thumbs up in his heart.

"Sir, I am innocent. The woman is fine now, and the shop is fine too. It was me who was beaten and burned today!" Yue Laosan began to kowtow.

"I am innocent too." The other three people rolled up their sleeves, revealing the red marks from the burns.

"Okay." Li Xingjian slammed the gavel again:

"Third brother Yue, you have evil intentions and behaved improperly. You should be severely punished. Considering that the four of you were injured today, you have learned a lesson. Please stop acting in front of me."

Yue Laosan and his companions gradually quieted down.

"Doctor Lin, can you take a look at the injuries of these people?" Li Xingjian continued.

"Yes."

Lin Mingxuan went forward to check, and Yue Lao San looked very painful.

After a moment, Lin Mingxuan bowed and said:

"Sir, Master Yue and the other two were splashed by hot water and suffered minor burns. They are not serious because they are covered by clothes. Apply some medicine and they will be healed in five or six days. As for the brother who was hit, he has some bruises on his forehead, but they are not serious. Apply some blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicine and he will be healed in a few days."

"Sir, buying medicine costs money. Please do it for me." Yue Lao San kowtowed again.

The proprietress bit her lip helplessly.

"Sir, if you can settle this peacefully, I am willing to pay compensation."

"You talk as if you've suffered a loss and you should compensate me!"

Li Xingjian sighed and shook his head slightly.

"Doctor Lin, tell me, how much will the medicine cost?"

"Sir, the four young masters of Yue will only need one bottle of burn ointment and one bottle of blood circulation and blood stasis removal ointment, which costs five hundred coins." Lin Mingxuan replied.

"You!" After spending so much time talking, he still couldn't get even one or two taels of silver. Yue Lao San wanted to jump up and hit someone.

"In that case, Bai Mengshi, you must compensate them 500 coins within two days."

"Yes! I obey your command."

"Retire!"

"Thank you, sir."

Ding Xirui and Banxia helped the boss lady out of the government office, and Amu followed happily behind. However, Yue Laosan and the others all had hatred in their eyes.

"Master Yue, do you have a lot of IOUs for borrowing one and paying three?" Nan Xing suddenly said, "For every extra IOU, I will get an extra forty sticks."

The corners of Yue Laosan's mouth twitched.

"You are all in the same group." He pointed his finger and gritted his teeth. Yesterday, two people were injured and the clinic charged one tael. Today, four people were scalded and they could only get 500 coins. He was really angry.

"Master Yue, don't be angry. My servant is just reminding you kindly." Lin Mingxuan lowered his head slightly. "County Magistrate Li and Captain Ling are fair and selfless. You must never do anything illegal again. The wound on your head has not healed yet, and now you have a new wound. You must take care of yourself."

"Don't get angry, don't drink alcohol, and don't eat too much meat and fish. You must remember this." Ding Xirui added expressionlessly.

"Just wait and see!" Yue Lao San snorted coldly, turned and left.
