Chapter 145

That gambling addict deliberately blocked the path that the Liu patriarch had to take to return home that day, putting on a pitiful act. Seeing his wretched state, the Liu patriarch took pity on him and gave him some food.

The gambling addict pretended to be grateful and presented the life-swapping copper coin to the Liu patriarch with sincere words. The Liu patriarch accepted it at the time, even praising the beggar as someone with integrity and gratitude.

Who would have thought he had actually encountered a treacherous wolf? By the time he woke up the next day, he was already locked up in the county prison. He had gone from being the richest man in Nanling to a condemned prisoner.

No matter how he tried to defend himself, everyone treated him as a madman. The constables even gave him a beating.
