The sister-in-law was wrong, please forgive her, my black-bellied brother-in-law

"What are you yelling about? Can't you just talk it out nicely?"

When Shen Liuguang heard Liu Huilin making a fuss, he didn't bother to chop wood and came over with an axe.

Liu Huilin was furious and said in a very aggressive tone, "Are you that gentleman?"

After saying that, he began to look at Shen Liuguang. When he saw the axe in his hand, he was stunned for a moment, then looked at the place where the wood was piled in the yard, and said to himself, "If it wasn't that gentleman, how could that gentleman be chopping wood here?"

"Go, go, go away." Liu Huilin waved his hand to drive Shen Liuguang away, "I'm looking for that master, why are you joining in the fun?"

Liu Huilin ignored Shen Liuguang's obstruction and started shouting again.

"Hey, where's that person? I've been calling him for so long, but he still hasn't come out. Could it be that he's done something wrong and is afraid to come out and see people?"

Shen Liuguang respected Shen Qingyan very much. When he heard Liu Huilin's words becoming more and more excessive, he became so angry that his eyes turned red.

But we can't do anything to him, because the adults once said that when he is out, his words and actions represent the words and actions of the adults.

He can't bring discredit to adults.

Forget it, he should quickly ask the adults to come out and take a look.

Thinking of this, Shen Liuguang took the axe and walked towards Xu Yi's room.

But as soon as I reached the door, I almost bumped into someone.

Looking up, it was none other than Shen Qingyan.

"Sir, that man—"

Shen Liuguang was about to say something when Shen Qingyan raised his hand to interrupt him.

He just said calmly, "I know. I heard you talking in the room just now."

Liu Huilin heard the voices and looked over.

His gaze fell on Shen Qingyan, and when he saw Shen Qingyan's demeanor, he already had the answer in his mind.

Then everyone saw Liu Huilin put his hands on his hips, raised his head, and said rudely: "Are you the official who said he would beat my Chun'er with five strokes of the cane?"

Qiao Xi was speechless at his posture. How could a man look like he was about to lash out like a shrew?

Facing Liu Huilin's dissatisfaction and shouting, Shen Qingyan only raised an eyebrow, walked over slowly, and said calmly: "Exactly. Are you Liu Lichun's father? What's your name?"

When Liu Huilin heard Shen Qingyan speak, he was stunned for a moment.

He originally wanted to strike first, but he didn't expect that he would be beaten to it.

But after a moment of hesitation, he said, "Yes, I am Chun'er's father. My name is Liu Huilin. Come on, it's obviously him."

Liu Huilin pointed at Zhang Quan and said, "He was the one who instigated Chun'er to do something wrong. How could you hit Chun'er? If you want to punish him, just punish him alone."

Shen Qingyan was not angry at Liu Huilin's unreasonableness.

Qiao Xi saw that he was not angry at all and even smiled.

He just said, "According to what you said, does that mean that the fault lies entirely with Zhang Quan, and your daughter is innocent?"

"Of course." Hearing this, Liu Huilin nodded as a matter of course.

"Heh!" Shen Qingyan chuckled, "In that case, I have a few questions for you."

"Okay, you ask."

Liu Huilin stared at Shen Qingyan, waiting for him to ask.

Shen Qingyan pursed his lips slightly, his voice neither too loud nor too low, but making sure everyone in the yard could hear: "A thief was instructed by someone to steal things from someone else's house. If the government wants to arrest him, who will they arrest?"

Liu Huilin: "Of course we'll arrest both of them."

Shen Qingyan: "Why?"

Liu Huilin: "Because one is a thief, and the other is in cahoots with the thieves."

"Oh!" Shen Qingyan paused and continued, "If someone instigates a group of people to beat you, who should the government arrest?"

Liu Huilin: "Arrest them all."

Shen Qingyan: "If someone bribes a killer to kill someone, who should be arrested?"

Liu Huilin: "Arrest them all. No, what kind of question are you asking? The answer is so obvious, why bother asking?"

Seeing Liu Huilin's impatience, Shen Qingyan smiled and comforted him: "Don't be angry, or you'll get sick."

He put his hands behind his back, paced forward a few steps, and stopped beside Zhang Quan and Liu Lichun. He said calmly, "Yes, the answer is so obvious, but some people are confused by it. Liu Huilin, you understand everything, don't you? What else do you want me to say?"

Liu Huilin frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Humph!"

Shen Qingyan did not speak, it was Shen Liuguang who spoke.

He looked at Liu Huilin sternly and said, "My master's words should have been very clear. Liu Huilin, you just said that in all cases, whether the principal offender or the accomplice, according to the laws of Tianle Kingdom, no one can escape responsibility.

Although your daughter Liu Lichun was bewitched by Zhang Quan and wasn't the mastermind, she was an accomplice. Considering her young age and this being a first offense, my family has shown some mercy, granting her only five strokes of the cane.

Strictly speaking, she should have received ten lashes."

"Ten strokes of the cane?" Liu Huilin was stunned. "That much? Will my Chun'er still be alive after that? Besides, even if it's halved, five strokes of the cane is still enough for my Chun'er. You can't hit my Chun'er."

Liu Huilin opened his arms and protected Liu Lichun behind him. He looked like an eagle protecting its chick.

When Liu Datong and Liu Zhongqiu heard that their sister was going to be beaten with a stick, they looked at Liu Huilin and followed suit, stretching out their arms and standing behind Liu Huilin.

Ugh! Josie was speechless for a moment.

Did they think they could really protect Liu Lichun by blocking him like this? What did they regard the government office and the imperial officials as?

Buying groceries? You can even bargain. What the hell.

Seeing that Liu Huilin was about to make trouble, Shen Qingyan frowned slightly and whispered, "You know, doing this is considered obstructing the work of the government office and the court. According to the laws of Tianle Kingdom, you will be punished."

Despite Shen Qingyan's persuasion, Liu Huilin remained unmoved and said rudely, "I don't care what punishment you give me, but you can't hit my daughter today."

Seeing that he was unmoved, Shen Qingyan couldn't help but narrow his eyes and warned him without any more politeness: "Liu Huilin, I am informing you, not discussing with you.

Your daughter Liu Lichun has confessed her guilt and is now just waiting to be sent back to the government office to be flogged.

And the laws of Tianle Country, how can you question or break them here?"

After saying that, Shen Qingyan looked at Qiao Xi and asked, "Ms. Xu Qiao, did they get your permission to come in just now?"

Josie shook her head.

She seemed to have only said that Liu Lichun was at her house, and did not ask them to come in.

Thinking of this, she looked at the still unconvinced Liu Huilin and his two sons with a complicated expression, then looked at Shen Qingyan, wanting to hear him ask if this was what she thought.

"Liu Huilin, your daughter just told you why she was beaten. She assisted Zhang Quan in humiliating Xu Qiaoshi, and later broke into a private residence.

Now you have entered someone's house without the owner's consent, and according to the law, you will be punished with a beating."
