The little Fubao in the deserted village made all the dignitaries in the court go crazy with envy

When Lin Jiang and Xu Enhui ran back to the village breathlessly, the house was already very lively.

It was packed with people, and the courtyard was filled with the rich aroma of tea.

Yan Changqing, Nanny Du, and Jia Banxian from the Yan family all came over.

The old village chief also came, and of course the gossipy Mrs. Li was there, sitting in the main room holding her eight-month-old grandson to join in the fun.

There are also other women and men in the village who are taking a break from lunch...

The main room, kitchen and eaves were full of people.

Old man Xu was also sitting in the main room. The reason why he didn't go directly to the Yan family to explain, but chose to stay at the Lin family... People who were familiar with his temperament didn't have to guess at all. The old man knew that everyone in the village was anxiously waiting for news, so he specially took care of his gossiping old friends.

Lin Jiang stepped onto the eaves of the main hall, and when he saw clearly who was sitting in the room, he couldn't help but be surprised and his eyes widened.

Cao Wu and his group of seven are all here, complete and complete!

Led by Cao Wu, seven men knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Old Xu and Jia Banxian.

The eight-foot-tall man had his face covered with tears.

"Cao Wu and all the brothers are here to kneel down and thank Elder Xu! We are here to thank the Taoist priest for his kindness! We are here to thank all the benefactors for their kindness!"

The one-eyed man, who was the most violent among the seven, knelt and kowtowed three times willingly. The dark shadow in his eyes disappeared and was replaced by gratitude.

This time he believed it and was convinced.

When he followed the fifth brother to surrender himself, he was actually risking his life bravely. He had already prepared for the worst. The worst that could happen was that he would just get a big scar on his head.

At that time, he really never thought that he would get such a good result.

This time he and they were not let down!

Old man Xu stroked his goatee and smiled happily, "Alright, alright, get up. I don't like this."

After waking up a few men, the old man looked around. There were people everywhere, and all the eyes were shining brightly at him. He just suppressed his excitement and didn't overturn the roof of the main room.

"Oh, I know you are waiting anxiously. Okay! Let's take a break now and I will tell you about this!" Taking the tea that was handed to him attentively, Old Man Xu took a sip to moisten his throat and told the story slowly.

"The case has been closed. The prefect has a clear sense of right and wrong and has made a fair judgment."

"Cao Wu committed a murder. No matter what the reason, killing is wrong. The law cannot be violated. Therefore, the prefect sentenced Cao Wu to exile a thousand miles away!"

When the villagers heard the words "exile a thousand miles away", their excited hearts almost broke and their joy plummeted.

Mrs. Li was the most impatient. Her face turned red and she said indignantly, "Mr. Xu, why did he banish him thousands of miles away? Although Cao Wu killed someone, he killed a bad guy! If that gentleman hadn't died, he would have killed at least four people! Maybe even more! If Cao Wu killed him, wouldn't that be considered getting rid of harm to the people? It's excusable, right? Why did he banish him so far away!"

Cao Wu was somewhat surprised by such protection, and when he looked at the old woman, his eyes were filled with gratitude.

"Hey, sister-in-law, why are you so impatient? The old man hasn't finished speaking yet. Everyone, please be patient and listen to him slowly. He is just like that and likes to tease people." Jia Banxian's half-joking comfort made everyone relax a little.

Old Man Xu was not annoyed by the teasing. He took another sip of tea and shook his head slowly, "Exiled a thousand miles away, sentenced to open up wasteland in the northern desert. Dongzhou is about a thousand miles away from the wilderness behind the Goddess Mountain."

"..."

"!!!"

"Ouch! Oh!"

"Good judgement! Great judgement! If you have time, you can climb over the mountain and come to our place for tea!"

A moment of silence, and then a huge wave of change.

The villagers burst into laughter, and Cao Wu and his party were also infected by the atmosphere and laughed out loud.

The case was decided in Wonju, but as for the punishment, a trick was used.

Cao Wu and his companions did not quite understand what was going on, but they could sense that the prefect was biased towards them, the lower-class people who had been wronged.

The old man continued, "Except Cao Wu, the other six, Yu Dazhuang, Ge Li, Tan Mazi, Bao Xiaoxiao, Luo Kuaizui, and Liu Quezi, did not commit any murders, but they knew about the crime but did not report it and protected the fugitive. Each of them was sentenced to ten strokes of the cane!"

The quickest thing about Mrs. Li was her mouth. "Ten great boards? No, that's not right. Ten great boards from the government office will cost you at least half your life. I just saw them getting off the carriage, and their butts were fine!"

Everyone, "..."

Everyone: “Hahahaha!”

The six people in the topic have seen a lot of ups and downs, but at this moment they were so embarrassed that their faces turned red and their buttocks felt numb.

Cao Wu coughed lightly with his fist, and replied to Li Pozi with a suppressed smile, "Aunt, they were not beaten. The prefect remembered that they had made contributions in killing enemies on the battlefield, so his merits offset their demerits and he spared them from being caned."

The villagers nodded suddenly.

This kind of balance of merits and demerits can convince the public.

The prefect is indeed a good official!

Old Man Xu glanced at the little prince who was sitting quietly in a corner of the main hall, with a smile in his eyes. "The case is closed, and the wanted warrants for the seven of them have been withdrawn. From now on, we will open up wasteland behind the Goddess Mountain. With land, we can have food, and we can settle down here."

After a pause, the old man's smile widened, and a hint of pride could be seen. "That family of the Yuanwai master has also suffered a lot. Taking advantage of this case, the old man has investigated thoroughly. The Yuanwai master's family has been a tyrant in the village for many years because of their wealth. Each of the children in the family has committed heinous crimes! There are more than a dozen local officials involved! The prefect has already submitted a memorial to the higher-ups. We only need to wait for the approval of the higher-ups to catch all the corrupt officials in one fell swoop!"

Hearing this, the villagers could no longer hold back, "Mr. Xu, since that man's family is crooked from top to bottom, can they continue to do evil?"

"How is that possible? The law is enforced, and no one should be wronged or let off! Those people were also sentenced to exile a thousand miles away—to the Great Desert in the north of the desert."

The noise suddenly quieted down.

After a while.

"puff--"

The villagers were laughing like crazy.

Even Yan Changqing, who was sitting in the corner, couldn't help laughing and curved his eyes.

Madam Du sat next to him and laughed softly, "Old Xu's move was really mean, really mean. The hatred between Mr. Yuan's family and Cao Wu and his men is irreconcilable, and the two sides were exiled to the same place, deliberately letting Cao Wu and his men vent their anger. After being exiled, they were all criminals, no one was nobler than anyone else, and no one had more power and background than anyone else. At that time, it was the fist that mattered. A bunch of good-for-nothings, how could they compete with those who came down from the battlefield? They can only take a beating."

Yan Changqing responded lightly, "Sir, this is very good, isn't it?"

Cao Wu's father, mother, wife and children died at the hands of the nobleman. Was it only the nobleman who did the evil?

Of course not, otherwise there wouldn’t be the phrase “being an accomplice to a tiger”.

They are rich and unkind, and they bring disaster to the people in their hometown. They have done more than one evil.

Those who turn a blind eye to evil deeds, who go along with them, who act as lackeys, and who do the work for their masters, all have their hands stained with evil, blood, human lives, and the tears of those in agony.

Now the entire family of Yuanwai Mansion has been punished, and they deserve it.

As for the two parties being punished together...

It's time for the bad guys to experience the feeling of being bullied with no one to turn to and no power to resist.

Yan Changqing lowered his eyes. Everyone said that he was kind and generous, but that was only one side of him.

It is reasonable to forgive others when you can, but this principle depends on the person. It applies to some people and not to others.

Where good is achieved, evil will surely be eradicated.
