Qiao Jinyu was thinking about how to change her image of a weak little white flower in the hearts of the people of Xinyang City, when Steward Zhao suddenly rushed over.

"Princess, the person sent out to inquire about the news has just come back and forth, and Qiao Huaishi has been hiding in the mountains during the days when the people in the gambling house were collecting debts, and later heard that his parents paid off the debts for him, so he returned to Xinghua Village."

But after only a few days of peace, he went back to gambling, and as a result, he owed a large gambling debt to the gambling house. Now the people at the gambling house are looking for him, and they don't know where he has gone again. ”

Is gambling addicted so much?

"Have you found out what his character is?"

"Don't worry, princess, this person is very cowardly, and he can't cause any trouble, otherwise he wouldn't have hid in the mountains and old forests before."

Qiao Jinyu nodded.

It's best to be timid and afraid of things, but she's afraid that she's a bold person who is not afraid of death. However, you still have to be careful.

She planned to go back and inform Qiao Dazhu and tell them to keep an eye on it, just in case a gambler was cornered and bit indiscriminately.

"By the way, what about my uncle? How's the case of theft going? Can they sign an IOU? ”

"That case was closed this morning." Steward Zhao replied.

"That Qiao Cuihua, because she is not the main culprit, can only be regarded as an accomplice, so the Qian Governor rewarded her with ten boards." As for Qiao Datian and Tian, they were both the main criminals, and they were each rewarded with fifty boards. ”

"This is the IOU they signed and drawn, and now, they owe a total of more than 320 taels to the in-laws and the in-laws' wives. Presumably, in their lifetimes, they didn't dare to take the initiative to appear in front of the Qiao family. ”

Qiao Jinyu took the IOU in Steward Zhao's hand with two thumb prints and smiled.

After Qiao Datian's family was arrested and taken to the government, she asked Zhao Kuo what kind of punishment she would receive for theft in Nanqi.

Zhao Kuo told her that Nanqi's punishment had always been severe.

Anyone who steals property is less than ten taels, and the thief will be rewarded with ten boards each, and the stolen property must be returned to the owner.

If it is more than 10 taels and less than 100 taels, the thief will be rewarded with 30 boards per person and must return the property.

If the amount stolen exceeds 100 taels, the thief will be imprisoned for three days, in addition to rewarding each of them with 50 boards and returning the property of the owner, in order to reflect on his mistakes.

Of course, these punishments are still provided that the thief does not hurt anyone and is able to repay the owner's property.

If someone is injured and cannot repay the owner's money, the punishment will only become more severe.

Qiao Datian's family, at first glance, was unable to repay so many silver taels.

That's why she asked Steward Zhao to bring a message to the Qian Governor's Mansion and asked Qiao Datian's family to sign an IOU and let them pay off their debts slowly in the future.

With this IOU in hand, she no longer worries that Qiao Datian and the Tian family will make trouble again, and it is too late to hide from them, and her father and mother can also be clean in the future.

In the blink of an eye, the end of May is approaching, and the wedding date is approaching.

Zhao Kuo's previous custom-made wedding clothes have been made, and they were personally sent by Zhao Wenqin and the Yun family from Shengjing.

accompanied by Zhao Yucheng, a little fan brother.

As soon as he entered the Zhao Mansion, Zhao Yucheng ran wildly in the mansion like a crazy horse that had escaped the reins, and shouted "Uncle, cousin, Sister Jinyu" as he ran. ”。

A few years ago, he came to Xinyang once, lived for a few days, and was familiar with the Zhao Mansion, and soon found the courtyard where Zhao Kuo lived.

Xiao Tuanzi, who was in love with his own beauty, heard an unusually familiar voice, and couldn't help but chant poetry: "The sky is high and the sea is wide and the fish jumps, and a crazy horse is admitted to the hospital." ”
