Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

"Where's the evidence? That's not how you slander someone."

Even though I did something wrong, I still have enough confidence.

"You bought so many things today. How did the Liu family get the money to be so broke? You must have stolen my chickens and sold them to make the money."

"Your chicken is a golden phoenix, how could it be sold for so much money? You little bastard, you're guilty of slander and will be sent to the government office to be beaten with a stick!"

Without any legal knowledge, their shouting can only scare the timid villagers. They are too naive to scare her, Qin Luoqi.

When the young man from the Xu family was speechless, Yin snorted coldly, and the temperature around them immediately dropped a few degrees.

"Aunt Tian, didn't you say you saw Chunhua's family eating chicken in the yard at dinner yesterday?"

Aunt Tian was carried out by several tall and thin servants. She lowered her head and her face was flushed. All the arrogance she had yesterday was gone.

"Auntie Tian, say something!"

Seeing that Aunt Tian didn't say anything, Yin moved closer to her and pinched the flesh on her elbow hard. Aunt Tian couldn't help but grit her teeth.

Luo Yu couldn't help but marvel at it. It turned out that the ancients really had their own set of skills, and they had mastered every aspect of acting and supporting roles.

Aunt Tian spoke slowly, but her thoughts were very clear. I guess she had rehearsed it many times in her mind.

"Yesterday around 5:30 PM, I was returning home from working in the fields when I passed by Chunhua's family having a meal in the yard. It's rare to see them eating outside, and the stew was incredibly delicious. I was also hungry at that time, so I could smell it as soon as I got closer.

It definitely tasted like chicken. I was wondering how they could afford meat when their family was so poor they couldn't even afford to eat. They were afraid I'd find out, so they didn't invite me in to taste it.

"..." So this is the result of not inviting her to eat meat?

What he said was quite reasonable and well-founded. Luo Yu almost applauded in agreement, and then whispered a few words in Jing'er's ear. Jing'er ran into the kitchen and took out a piece of dried and pickled meat.

"Aunt Zhou, are we still eating pickled meat today?"

Jing'er had a simple and innocent expression on her face. How could she not understand Luo Yu's intention? Although stealing food was wrong, Aunt Zhou said that it didn't count as stealing if you picked it up.

Aunt Zhou also said that those who want to accomplish great things should not reveal themselves too quickly. If they are discovered, even the entire house full of belongings may not be enough to compensate them.

And she did see Aunt Zhou go to the bamboo forest and bring back chickens, while Landlord Xu's house was in the completely opposite direction.

"Eat. We'll stir-fry some celery later. It's delicious and goes well with the rice. We'll each have three bowls of rice."

"Okay!" Jing'er jumped for joy.

Aunt Tian was stunned for a moment. She was reporting to everyone that the Liu family had stolen chickens, so how could they be talking about what to eat for lunch?

Yin rushed in through the gate and tried to snatch the pickled meat from Jing'er's hands, shouting fiercely, "You stole this meat too, didn't you? Can your family afford to eat meat, especially a piece of pickled meat with both fat and lean meat?"

Luo Yu blocked her way and asked her with blinking eyes: "Is the fat and lean meat special? Is it especially delicious?"

Then he lowered his head to think, then turned to Jing'er and said, "Jing'er, we should make stir-fried pork with dried tofu. I think I have a few pieces of smoked dried tofu in my bag."

I didn’t want to eat them along the way, so I smoked and dried these dried tofu over firewood and put them away.

Luo Yu took out some smoked tofu and said to Yin cheerfully, "Was this also stolen from your house? If you think it was stolen, you can bring it from your house and show it to everyone."

How could Yin let it go? She pointed at Aunt Tian and said, "Did you see it with your own eyes yesterday and tell me it was the smell of chicken?"

"Yes, yes." Tian said with a guilty conscience.

To be honest, she had only eaten chicken twice in her 35 years of life, and she had no idea what chicken tasted like. She just saw the little girl from the Liu family take out the pickled meat, and it seemed to taste the same. She was not sure. The last time she ate chicken was 15 years ago when she gave birth to her second child. Because it was a boy, she could only drink a few mouthfuls of chicken soup. Do chicken soup and stewed chicken taste the same?

If Luo Yu heard this, he would probably soften his heart and cut a piece of pickled meat for her to try.

"If Tian says yes, then it is. If you don't admit it, we will go in and search. If we find even a little bone residue, I will make you pay for it."

Yin waved her hand, signaling several servants as thin as bamboo poles to go into the Liu family's dilapidated house and search.

Chunhua and Jing'er immediately went to block the several hemp poles that rushed into the yard, including the two strong young men from the Xu family. Unfortunately, they were no match for this group of lunatics and were knocked to the ground in a few hits.

At this moment, Luo Yu quickly drew his sword and placed it on Yin's thick neck.

"We have a law in the Darong Dynasty that states that anyone who trespasses into a private residence has the right to be executed by the owner without any penalty. Don't you know this?"

Luo Yu remembered that during the early days of the Chu-Han contention, Liu Bang established three laws with the people of Guanzhong: killing would be punished by death, while wounding and stealing would be punished. Later, with the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the principles outlined in these three laws became the foundation of the Han Code.

It shouldn't be too much for her to fool them by referring to the laws in the "Han Code". I believe these illiterate people will not question it.

Yin didn't understand anything about the law. She only knew that the person in front of her was pointing the gorgeous sword at her neck. She felt a chill. The woman who seemed weak just now had a ferocious look on her face, just like the legendary evil god Asura.

"Xu Dabao, Xu Erbao, wait, wait..." Her tongue was tied up in a knot. She saw a sharp and cold light in Luo Yu's eyes, which seemed to be able to devour her and everything immediately.

The master of the Xu family then walked over slowly, and it turned out that the person under Luo Hong's sword was not his wife.

"Miss, please talk nicely. We don't have to search the house. We have evidence to prove this. We didn't make it up. Even if we report it to the government, we have a valid reason!"

Luo Yu snorted, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he stared coldly at the guy behind him. It turned out that he was the cunning one.

"What do you mean by reasonable and well-founded? Tell me what you mean. If it sounds reasonable to me, I will naturally not resort to such tactical tactics."

The crowd outside watching the excitement was growing, no matter how big the incident. Aunt Tian was terrified. Although she was a chatterbox and liked to talk nonsense, who wouldn't be afraid of being sent to the government office? Who wouldn't be afraid of being stabbed in the neck with a sword? She didn't want to die. She wanted to eat more chicken!

When Xu Dabao and Erbao saw Luo Rongzhen holding the sword on their mother's neck, they did not dare to act rashly.

Luo Yu was not afraid of them entering the house to search, but the main thing was that if he tolerated it this time, there would be endless next time, and the next time...

After she leaves, Chunhua's family will not have an easy time.

In this day and age, if there is no healthy adult male in the family, there will always be people with bad intentions coming to cause trouble.

Luo Yu had come to realize through her wandering in recent days that fortunately she was not a weak woman, and fortunately she could start over again after death.

This bug suddenly seems to be useful!

Haha, for the safety of Chunhua's family, she will reluctantly be unrestrained for once!
