In the gambling hall of Luoyang City, there was a lot of people's voices, the sound of sieves, shouts, and the sound of betting silver and copper coins, constantly filling the not spacious room.
In the back alley of the casino, a middle-aged man in his forties was constantly being punched and kicked. Every punch and every kick hit him hard, making him cry again and again.
"Don't... don't fight, I will definitely pay back the money I owe the casino!" The middle-aged man choked out a mouthful of blood and said desperately.
"Repay? What do you take back? Abao, do the math for him, how much money he owes our casino in total!" The man in the lead stomped heavily on the middle-aged man's chest, causing the other party to cry out in pain.
"Yes." The man called A Bao took out a stack of IOUs with fingerprints, "Uncle Fa owes our casino a total of 1,345 taels of silver."
"Uncle Fa, you can hear it clearly." The leading man took the receipt and slapped Uncle Fa in the face.
"Hu... nonsense." Uncle Fa looked in disbelief, "I only owe you fifty taels of silver!"
"Uncle Fa, don't you know the principle of making profits? If you pay back the money later, I'm afraid you will owe more than this amount."
"I... How can I have so much money to pay you back!" Although he knew that borrowing money in the casino would not end well, he just couldn't control his gambling addiction, and he always thought that he might be able to turn over the book next time.
"Money, of course we know that you don't have that much. Don't you still have a daughter? If you sell your daughter to a brothel, are you afraid that you won't be able to pay back the money?"
"How can I sell my daughter to a brothel?"

"Don't want to sell? That's fine! Keep fighting!" The man at the head waved his hand, and his subordinates continued to beat Uncle Fa hard.
"Ah... ah! Don't, don't fight, I will pay back the money, but my daughter is still married, how can I sell it to a brothel!"
"Since I don't want to sell my daughter, then I have to kill your old life!" Another punch made this uncle Fa's nose bleed.
"Ouch, spare, spare me!"
"Then is your daughter to sell or not to sell?"
"I... I..." Uncle Fa's lips trembled, and he was still a little reluctant to take his own life. Just as he was about to agree, a woman's voice suddenly came from this alley.
"The money he owes you, I'll pay it back."
"Girl, you're not mistaken, do you know how much this old guy owes us?"
"Are these enough?" The woman threw down a bag of silver.

The man at the head saw it and said repeatedly: "Enough is enough! Since the girl has repaid the old guy's debt, then these IOUs belong to the girl!" After speaking, he handed the IOUs to the other party.
The woman was wearing plain clothes and a hat, obviously not wanting people to see her true colors. No nonsense, just took the IOU.
Before long, only the woman and Uncle Fa were left in the back alley.
"Are you Uncle Fa?" the woman asked, and Uncle Fa sounded completely unfamiliar.
"...Yes." Uncle Fa stood up staggeringly, "I don't know who the girl is, why are you helping me pay back the money?"
"To help you pay off your debts, I just want to be with you. Once you succeed, what you get will be far from the amount just now. But—" The woman's voice paused, and her originally indifferent tone became fierce, "If you don't If you are willing to do this, then not only the gambling debts just now, but your daughter will also be sold as a military prostitute and do the most despicable deeds."
"What?" Uncle Fa was dumbfounded. "You... Who are you and what are you doing with me?"
"Anyway, you will be able to do what I do with you. As for who I am, that's not what you should ask!" The woman said.
That night, the maid next to the tenth princess hurried back to the palace and entered the princess's boudoir.
"How are things going?" Tenth Princess Dai Ruiqian asked coldly.
"Everything is done, the man has already agreed." The palace maid replied.
A fierce light flashed in Dai Ruiqian's eyes, and she said faintly, "I didn't expect Brother Three Emperors to be so useless. This time I'm here in person, but I want to see how Xiao Zhizhi can save that woman!"
