"What's going on? Who is it?"

"Is Lao Liu back? Why is there such a big movement?"

Hearing the door knock, Qiu Yan's aunt, sister-in-law and aunt Liu who were staying in the house all came out, but then they were frightened by the formation in the yard.

"You, who are you?"

There were seven or eight people standing in the yard. Although not all of them were tall and powerful, they were scornful and sneered, but they still had a certain intimidating power. What's more, the leader was a soldier in military robes.

The three Lius were all ordinary women. When they saw the soldiers arriving and breaking into the house, they immediately became panicked.

"Who are you..." Qiu Yan's aunt bravely stepped forward and asked.

"Stop talking nonsense! Where is Qiu Yan? Let him come out!"

Before the soldiers could speak, someone shouted, which startled the Liu family members and turned pale. Qiu Yan's sister-in-law was even more frightened and trembling slightly.

"What kind of behavior is it to threaten women and children? If it spreads, people will laugh at you. However, people like you should not be afraid of stigma. You have long been used to it."

At this time, a male voice came from behind Liu and others, followed by footsteps.

"Wang Qiao'er, you are a lot more courageous this time."

His voice was neither high nor low, but when it fell on the ears of several people in the courtyard, it made them feel inexplicably cold, as if a mouse had seen a cat.

Suppressing the chill in his heart, the man who shouted followed the sound and saw Qiu Yan's slightly thin but tall figure.

"It's you!" Wang Qiaoer subconsciously took a step back, then he was shocked, steeled himself, and sneered, "Mr. Qiu, we meet again, but this time, I, Wang Qiaoer, will not be deceived by your words again. "

The person who spoke was none other than Wang Qiaoer. A few days ago, he was intimidated by Qiu Yan's words and left in panic. Today, he brought other gangsters back to kill them, and also killed all the soldiers surnamed Li who were stationed at the city gate. Please come.

Qiu Yan ignored the clamoring Wang Qiaoer, but turned his back to him and spoke gently to comfort his aunt and others.

"What's going on with these people? Are they here to find you? Have you provoked them?" Aunt Liu asked in a low voice.

"Yes, Yan'er, what should we do? Your uncle and the others are not here. If something happens..." Aunt's face was filled with fear.

Qiu Yan said with a smile: "It's okay, they are all villains. They give orders, forget their loyalty when they see the situation, and are good at seeing the wind. They can't do anything. It's a good thing that they came here today, just leave it to me."

Wang Qiaoer was left aside. Seeing that Qiu Yanhun didn't take him and others seriously, and showed even more contempt in his words, he couldn't help but get angry. Taking advantage of the strength of the crowd, he was about to explode if he took one step forward.

However, before he could say anything, there was a sinister voice next to him——

"Mr. Qiu, you have such a venomous tongue. I wonder if I am also considered a villain in your heart?"

The one who spoke was the soldier surnamed Li. He took a step forward with a smile on his face: "That day, you deceived Mr. Li, saying that you were a student returning from a study tour. I didn't check for a while and let you into the city. I only found out yesterday that you What kind of student is he? He doesn’t even have the reputation of being a scholar. He is a refugee from the south! Do you think he should be punished for this crime of deception? "

"Of course!" Wang Qiaoer echoed from the side, "If there is no punishment, then will there be any law? How can good citizens like me swallow this breath?"

"That's right! It's time to catch him!"

"Master Li dares to lie, so why not!"

"Liu Huai and Liu Yue have both been kicked out of the Pan Mansion. What else can this poor man have to rely on?"

"It's time to beat up the drowned dog!"

"What a 'good citizen', what a thick skin. You, Wang Qiao'er, are quite accomplished in the art of confusing right and wrong." Qiu Yan turned around and looked directly at Wang Qiao'er and the others after hearing this. "I haven't asked for advice yet. Qiu's fault." What kind of crime is it? Could it be that in our country of Darui, even "escape" has become a crime? I don't know when Taizu's law of "setting up warehouses to provide disaster relief" changed. "

Of course, fleeing is not a crime, but all dynasties have always been wary of fleeing refugees to prevent civil unrest.

However, this troubled situation in Yuanning Prefecture only involves a few villages within the territory, and the number of people is not large. According to the laws of Dali, the local government is responsible for channeling. Not only cannot they punish the criminals, but they also have to open Changpingcang, Grain is stored in Guanghui Granary.

Let the world set up righteous warehouses to prepare for disasters.

This is the rule set by Taizu Da Rui. It is the law established by the ancestors. In Qiu Yan's previous life, this law is social welfare.

"Don't talk nonsense! What kind of person is Grand Ancestor? Are you a poor man who doesn't even have any fame?"

Listening to Qiu Yan talking about the law, whether it was Wang Qiaoer or other scoundrels, or leading the soldiers, they all felt guilty. In this world, the Shinto is prosperous, and the maintenance of the law does not only rely on the tacit understanding of the people. The dynasty is determined, and the gods and ghosts are restrained. Nobles who go to court are afraid.

When they heard Qiu Yan talking about Taizu's laws, Wang Qiaoer and others had to change the topic quickly, for fear of startling the ancestor dragon spirit, even if they came here intentionally to cause trouble.

"Okay, let's not talk about the law, let's talk about something else." Qiu Yan followed suit and glanced at the leading soldier, "Li Bo, have you put away the twenty taels of silver in your home? From Zhengjia Village in the north of the city. How is the repair of the small courtyard going?"

"You, you, you, what did you say? How did you know?" When the leading soldier heard this, his expression changed drastically and he began to tremble. He even forgot to ask Qiu Yan how he learned his name.

He got the twenty taels of silver through extortion while guarding the door. In his greed, he simply squandered it without reporting it. If his superiors knew about it, he would definitely offer a share of the money, and he would inevitably have small shoes to wear in the future.

But this is not bad. The problem is that the courtyard in Zhengjia Village was built for a widow in the village. Li Bo and her have been living together for a long time. If it is exposed, not to mention moral laws, just the strong wife in the family will be It's enough for him to make trouble, and he won't stop.

Ignoring Li Bo's expression, Qiu Yan glanced at Wang Qiaoer: "The Cai family in the south of the city lost a cow years ago. Do you know where it went? The Liu Mansion in the north of the city was stolen a few days ago and the jewelry was lost. Do you, Wang Qiaoer, have any clues about the thief? ?”

"You, you, you..." This time, Wang Qiaoer was trembling.

He accidentally found the Cai family's lost cow, and couldn't help but indulge in it. If this matter was spread, he would be imprisoned immediately. In this farming society, it is not allowed to slaughter the cow privately. It was a small crime, not to mention the fact that he killed a strong working cow!

As for the jewelry stolen from the Liu Mansion, although Wang Qiaoer was not responsible for the crime, the thief was looking for him to sell the stolen goods, and it was still a crime after being investigated.

The punishment for both crimes is probably to be tattooed and exiled.

Qiu Yan ignored the frightened Wang Qiaoer and looked at the other gangsters around Wang Qiaoer. He opened his mouth to speak and actually named several people one by one. Then he said something to each person. Everyone's expression changed, and they all showed panicked expressions.

After hearing the end, the soldier Li Bo narrowed his eyes and stared at Qiu Yan with a ruthless look on his face, as if he had made some decision.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Yan suddenly glanced at him, and with a flash of light in his eyes, Li Bo felt his head roaring, as if he had been hit hard, his body swayed, and he almost fell, but then the feeling disappeared, as if it was an illusion.

When he came to his senses, he found that Qiu Yan took out a stack of paper from his arms and distributed it to everyone. Li Bo subconsciously took it, glanced at it, and his expression suddenly changed.

"The current situation is enough to make you take risks. However, do you think that Qiu will be unprepared at all? I have written down the crime and evidence in several copies and made arrangements. It is useless for you to silence or deny it. ! It’s just one more crime that takes someone’s life, and the punishment of hanging is unavoidable.”

When Qiu Yan said this, he seemed not to care about his own life, but it made Wang Qiaoer and others look even worse. Li Bo also put away his evil intentions, his eyes showed fear, and he looked at Qiu Yan in confusion. Asked in a low voice: "How do you know these things?"

"If you want others to not know, you have to do nothing."

Qiu Yan said, raising his hand and pointing upward.
