Chapter 20: The Bandit (Part II)

Li Wei naturally knew that the Ren family did not report to the official, he just used this as an excuse to deceive the Xu family, and when he heard Xu Chang's words, he snorted coldly: "You answered well, but do you know why I asked you this?" ”

Xu Chang shook his head: "I don't know if it's small." ”

Li Wei said: "That shepherd's name is Ren An, and there is an eight-year-old girl named Xiuxiu, has she been sold into your village?" ”

There is nothing to hide about this, Xu Chang nodded: "Not bad." We hire people who are serious and toothy people as guarantees, and there are contracts, and even the taxes and payments are cash, which is clear. ”

Li Wei slapped his thigh: "It turns out that you also know about this!" Why did you lie to me just now, saying that you didn't know about the theft of Ren Muzi's sheep? But I bought someone else's daughter, this is clearly a ghost! ”

Xu Chang said: "We are just hiring people, where will we inquire so much?" ”

Li Wei consciously found the handle, how could he listen to Xu Chang's nonsense, and greeted: "The sheep of the Ren family over there was stolen, and here I bought someone's daughter, how could it be such a coincidence?" This Xu Chang's answer was hesitant, and it was obvious that he didn't dare to let people know that he had hidden secrets, and he might have done something treacherous. Little ones, take this man down with me! ”

A group of strong men followed the errand, only listened to the commander's orders, and were not familiar with the Xu family, and when they heard this, they surrounded Xu Chang with sticks.

Xu Ping can understand that this Li Wei is here to find trouble. It's just that I can't understand why, the Xu family is a big family, and rich people are superior to others wherever they go, and if they get provoked, they may not spend money to buy what relationship they will from. Li Wei is so bold, isn't he afraid?

Seeing that Xu Chang was surrounded, he knew that he couldn't come out of it. stepped forward and said to Li Wei: "In Xia Xu Ping, he is the son of the master in this village." What is this called? ”

Li Wei raised his head and said: "My name is Li Wei, everyone calls me Desperate Li Erlang, you remember!" ”

Xu Ping smiled: "You are so majestic! That's me over there, a banker, Gao Daquan, do you recognize it? ”

Li Wei looked at Gao Daquan, the muscles on his face were pulled, and he said with a smile: "It looks a little familiar, but I haven't heard of this name!" ”

Gao Daquan listened and said curiously: "Li Erlang, how much effort is this, you just pretend not to know me?" You are just an elder, and in the eyes of the official, you are just an errand and lowly person, so high-eyed? ”

Li Wei turned his face away and ignored him.

Xu Ping said: "I, a villager, have all my strength, if I give you an order, I can tear you off the horse and throw you into the ditch on the side of the road!" Do you believe it or not? ”

When Li Wei heard this, he turned his head suddenly, looked Xu Ping up and down, and shouted: "You are so bold!" I'm the elder of the patrol thieves, and you dare to intimidate me like this! ”

Xu Ping sneered: "Who is the thief in my village?" Do you have any official documents? Brought people to my village with knives and guns, surrounded my village, what do you want to do? It's not that you have an elder status, I'll take you as a thief first! Now there are dozens of bankers in the courtyard, as long as I give an order, see where you run! ”

Li Wei's eyes rolled, his tone softened a little, but his words were unforgiving: "When you talk about going to the sky, I also think that you are suspicious to buy Xiuxiu, a female envoy!" You let her come out and confront me! If you don't dare, I'll take you to the county, and I will know the county! ”

Xu Ping heard him bite Xiuxiu and didn't let go, and his heart was already on fire. How can this kind of thing be said clearly? It's not like Xu Ping's previous life, no matter what, you have to talk about personal and physical evidence, at this time, as long as you go to the official mansion, as long as you don't catch the thief who steals the sheep, you can't do anything about it. Don't you want to make money up and down?

Suppressing the fire in his heart, Xu Ping said: "Xiuxiu is a little girl, she is naturally timid, how dare she see you people who are like wolves and tigers?" Otherwise, you can follow me to the courtyard and find a quiet place to ask, how about it? Today we are also doing a happy event in the village, since you are here, you might as well drink a glass of wedding wine, wouldn't it be good? ”

Eating and drinking was the purpose of Li Wei's coming, Xu Ping said it, but he didn't want to forget it, and said with a stiff face: "We are on an errand, wouldn't it make people gossip when they come to your house to eat and drink?" Just call someone out, and I'll leave when I'm done!" ”

As soon as Li Wei said this, the strong men under his command were unwilling. Originally, it was good to come to Xu's house to eat and drink, how to turn around and leave? They are not official, they are just local self-government forces, and they are not as regular as the militia company in Xu Ping's previous life. Wine and meat in front of him, who cares about Li Wei? Cheer together.

Li Wei couldn't hold it down, so he had to pretend to get off the horse and say to Xu Ping: "You lead the way!" ”

Xu Ping sneered in his heart, enter my door, and let you call your father in a while!

Entering the courtyard gate, at this time, the banquet had reached the halfway point, and only Sun Qilang and other dozen people who had a large amount of wine were still insisting there, and they all had seven or eight points of wine.

When the strong man saw the table full of wine and meat, his eyes straightened. They were ordinary peasants in the neighborhood, the so-called inferior households, and the days when there was wine and meat were only once during the festival.

There were people in the village who knew these strong men, and they all ran to the wine table with a hello.

Xu Ping said to Li Wei: "Xiuxiu is in my small courtyard, you come with me." ”

He looked at Gao Daquan again and made a look: "You come here too." ”

Gao Daquan was a little frustrated by Xu Ping, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to follow.

Entering the small courtyard, Xiuxiu was collecting leftovers there, and when she saw Xu Ping bringing people back, she asked, "Do the officials have any guests?" ”

Xu Ping said: "It's not a guest. Don't pack up yet, come and talk. ”

At this point, Li Wei had no choice but to bite the bullet, coughed, stepped forward and said to Xiuxiu: "You are Xiuxiu of Ren Muzi's family?" I'm a local elder, and I have something to ask you. ”

Xiuxiu was confused and stood there.

Xu Ping flashed behind Li Wei, glanced at Gao Daquan, and suddenly luck kicked Li Wei in the waist and eyes, kicking him to the ground.

Li Wei fell to the ground, he was so shocked that he opened his mouth to scream.

Xu Ping turned to him early, stepped on his mouth, and shouted at Gao Daquan: "What are you doing standing!" Don't come up and restrain him yet! ”

Gao Daquan came back to his senses and hurriedly came up and held Li Wei down.

Xu Ping said to Xiuxiu: "This person has bad intentions, he actually wants to come to you for trouble, I am upset, so I will take a bad breath from him!" Go and fetch a piece of twine. ”

Xiuxiu's face was full of horror, she didn't know what was going on, since Xu Ping ordered, she turned around and went back to the house, and after a while she came out with a long hemp rope.

Xu Ping asked Gao Daquan to tie up Li Wei, found another rag, and plugged Li Wei's mouth tightly, before he straightened up and let out a sigh.

Gao Daquan asked Xu Ping in horror: "What do you want about the officials?" Could it be that you really want to take this guy's life? ”

Xu Ping kicked Li Wei: "Isn't he called Li Erlang desperately?" Let's see how hard his life is, so he can fight! ”

Li Wei was lying on the ground, his eyes were full of fear, and his heart was full of remorse. Could this family be a thief? If he had known, how dare he come? This little life can't be saved!

Xu Ping instructed Xiuxiu: "You go back to the room, unless I call you, don't come out." It's not a good thing below, don't look at the children's house! ”

Xiuxiu was worried that Xu Ping would really kill someone, and whispered: "Official, what is your identity?" How can you be angry with such a villain? If you take his life, you are afraid that it will cause trouble in the face of officials. ”

Xu Ping smiled at Xiuxiu: "You little girl, what are you talking about!" Am I that kind of wicked person in your heart? It's just that this man is rampant, and I'll just make him suffer a little. Go back to the house! ”

Xiuxiu was suspicious, and turned back to her house three times in a hurry.

Xu Ping said to Gao Daquan: "You send this guy to the firewood room, I have several means to try on him!" Let's see if his life is hard or my hands are hard! ”

Gao Daquan dragged Li Wei and dragged him straight to the firewood room.

Xu Ping followed up and said to Gao Daquan: "You are watching at the door, don't let the idle people wait to come in." ”

Gao Daquan stood at the door, trembling a little under his feet, and he didn't dare to look inside the firewood room. He didn't know what Xu Ping was going to do, and if he accidentally killed someone by mistake, he wouldn't be able to get out of it. When he went to Xu Pingzhuang, he just worked and mixed rice to eat, but he didn't have the consciousness to risk his life.

Xu Ping wasn't worried about him, he was just thinking about how to clean up Li Wei.

The reason why this kind of thing happened is to make clear the status of the banker at this time. They have an employment relationship with their masters, and they get paid for their work, and they choose to stay when the deadline is up. But for the time term, they have the title of master and servant with the employee. Master-servant status is not just a matter of name, but has many legal rights and obligations. For example, if a master beats a slave or even kills him, the punishment will be lower than that of ordinary people, and vice versa, the punishment will be heavier. More importantly, slaves have obligations to the Lord. What does this mean? That is, the servant cannot denounce the master, unless the master has committed such a great sin as treason, or the servant himself has been mistreated by the master, and the servant is not allowed to sue the master for other crimes. If you go to the government to sue the master, you must first punish the informant for the crime of accusing the master as a slave, and then the master will turn himself in and be acquitted.

It was this one that was eaten to death, and Xu Ping was very relieved of Gao Daquan.

Circling around Li Wei, Xu Ping thought about it and moved him to a bench. Things have not been going well in the last few days, so let's take out my anger on this guy first.

At this time, the government rectified the prisoners, because there was basically no supervision, and the methods were relatively rude. Xu Ping's previous life was different, all kinds of yin damage methods handed down from previous dynasties emerged in an endless stream, and they could clean up a person to a mental breakdown, and his appearance was not visible at all.

As long as he can't see it from the outside, it is possible that Xu Ping is still afraid that Li Wei will bite him!

Put Li Wei away, Xu Ping first came to a tiger chair with no technical content. He replaced bricks with firewood and put them on Li Wei's legs one by one.

Pad for a while and rest for a while, this pain has to be prolonged to be powerful.

After a few rounds of back and forth, Xu Ping felt that something was wrong, and he smelled a sassy and smelly smell in his nose. Looking at Li Wei, this guy's crotch is already wet, and it is actually a stream of and urine! Looking at his eyes again, his pupils dilated, as if he was about to die!

Xu Ping secretly scolded unlucky, I didn't expect this guy to be so careless, he dared to call himself desperate Li Erlang, desperate for your sister!

Pumping out the firewood from the stool, Xu Ping let Gao Daquan in and let Li Wei go.

As soon as he finished untying the rope, Li Wei knelt down in front of Xu Ping with a plop: "Little official, the little one knows that he is wrong, and he will never dare to make a mistake again!" Spare the little one! ”

Xu Ping frowned: "What smell do you have?" Wash well! ”

Li Wei climbed out of the firewood room, went to the water tank to get a bucket of water, poured it on his body with a "bang", and cried and shouted to Xu Ping: "It's all hot, the little ones take a bath by themselves, it's not about the little officials!" ”

Xu Ping said: "Come here, I still have something to tell you." ”

When Li Wei heard this, he knelt on the ground again: "The little official spared the little one's life, and I will make you a cow and a horse!" Don't dare to hide from the officials, the sheep thief is actually a rumor! ”
