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

Xuliu Village is quite far away from Lingxiao City, and the people there are not rich, with only food and clothing being the only thing they can get.

Apart from the carriages entering the city, there were basically no horses coming in. Of course, except for the two thousand soldiers who came recently.

Now, when they heard the sound of horse hooves, some people were very curious, wondering if those soldiers had returned.

So many people at home in the village, like Qiao Xi, stuck their heads out and looked in the direction of the horse's hooves.

When they saw the horsemen park the carriage in front of Xu Yi's house, they became even more curious.

Each of their eyes seemed to be able to speak. The look in their eyes changed from time to time as they looked at Qiao Xi, and they would look for opportunities to exchange glances with other people.

Thinking of the original owner's reputation in Xuliu Village, Qiao Xi could guess what they would say about her.

It was nothing more than words that belittled her or mocked her.

These words are completely irrelevant to her now, because she has never planned to live in this village for a long time since she came into this world.

Someone once said that time is the best healer.

When she leaves here, everything about her will gradually be forgotten by people, until there is no trace of her left here.

While Qiao Xi was stunned, Xiao Yushan had already handed the horse to Shen Liuguang, then walked over to her side, looked at her in a daze and asked puzzledly: "What happened? You look absent-minded."

Hearing Xiao Yushan talking to her, Qiao Xi quickly came back to her senses. Thinking about what had just happened, she felt that it had been handled and there was no need to say anything more. So she shook her head and said, "It's okay. Military doctor, have you found anything?"

The most urgent task now is to find out the reason why Xu Yi's qi and blood are flowing backwards.

Xiao Yushan did not answer her question immediately, but looked at her expression carefully. Seeing that she was back to normal, he felt relieved.

Looking around, he noticed that many people were peeking in this direction. He pointed to the yard and whispered, "This is not the place to talk. Let's go inside and talk."

By the way, did Xu Yi wake up after I left? Or did he show any abnormal symptoms?

Hearing him ask this, Qiao Xi shook her head again, paused for a moment and said, "I don't mean no, I just don't know."

"I don't know?"

Xiao Yushan was a little surprised by her answer.

"Why don't you know? Didn't I ask you to keep an eye on his condition when I left?"

"Hmm..." Qiao Xi pursed her lips, bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, raised her eyes slightly, and motioned Xiao Yushan to look at the yard.

Then he followed him and whispered, "Something happened, so I left the room. It wasn't until just now that I finished dealing with it."

Xiao Yushan looked up following her gaze and discovered that there were some people in the yard whom he had never seen before.

These people should have come after he left.

When Shen Qingyan saw his friend coming back, he raised his chin slightly and said, "He's back."

Then he lowered his eyes and looked at the medicine box on Xiao Yushan's shoulder, frowning slightly.

He knew him too well.

He appeared here with a medicine box on his back because he was not sure about the cause of Xu Yi's blood reflux, otherwise he would not have carried his extremely heavy medicine box on his back.

Xiao Yushan saw his friend's expression and knew that he had some idea in his mind.

In fact, he himself also hoped to quickly find out the reason why Xu Yi's blood was flowing backwards, not only for his future disciple, but also for his good friend.

It is really not easy to get him to take a fancy to an apprentice.

If he missed this apprentice, and if there was no apprentice he was satisfied with or wanted to take in in the future, wouldn't it be a regret when he talked about this when he was old?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yushan said in a deep voice: "Come on, let's go in and I'll tell you in detail."

Hearing this, Shen Qingyan nodded slightly, then asked Qiao Xi to lead him in first, and he gave a few more instructions to the people in the yard.

Shen Qingyan called Shen Liuguang, who had just settled the horse, and then whispered in his ear.

Shen Liuguang nodded from time to time.

Seeing this, several villagers from Xuliu Village who followed Liu Huilin to the yard were a little curious, but they also knew their own identities and had no right to ask what they said.

However, when Liu Huilin heard him say that he wanted to go into the room to discuss something, he felt a little uneasy.

He still has something to discuss with this official.

After Shen Qingyan finished his instructions, he turned and walked towards Xu Yi's room.

"Wait a moment!"

But he had just taken two steps when he was stopped by someone. The person who stopped him was Liu Huilin.

Shen Qingyan turned to look at him, too lazy to even say anything, just used his eyes to ask him what was wrong.

Liu Huilin took a few steps toward him and said in a low voice, "Sir, can I have a few words with you alone?"

Seeing him being cautious and hesitant, Shen Qingyan couldn't help but frown. Thinking of his identity, he finally didn't refuse.

He pointed towards the kitchen and walked towards it.

Liu Huilin originally wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect that the official would agree. So when Shen Qingyan took a few steps, he reacted and hurriedly followed.

"Tell me, what do you want to tell me?"

Shen Qingyan was worried about Xu Yi's situation, so he went straight to the point as soon as he entered the kitchen.

"I, I," Liu Huilin found it difficult to say what he was about to say, but for the sake of his daughter, he had to say it.

After hesitating for a few times, he finally managed to utter, "Sir, I want to ask you for a favor. My daughter Chun'er is still young and will get married soon. Unlike me, I already have a family and basically have no worries. So I want to beg you to show some mercy and let me take those five big beatings on Chun'er's behalf, okay?"

When Shen Qingyan heard this, his eyes widened in surprise and he looked at Liu Huilin in disbelief. He really couldn't imagine that he could come up with such a ridiculous idea.

You know, since he became an official, he has judged so many cases, and he has never heard of anyone being able to replace the punishment.

After being surprised, he almost immediately rejected Liu Huilin's request.

"Liu Huilin, do you know why dynasties have enacted laws and decrees?"

Liu Huilin thought for a moment and replied, "To govern the world."

"Yes and no."

Shen Qingyan looked at him and replied, "Yes, because it is indeed needed to govern the world. No, because its main purpose is not to help the monarch govern the world, but to make the people of the world convinced and have laws to follow and laws to rely on."

If there were no such punishments, people would do whatever they wanted. By then, our Tianle Kingdom would probably be in chaos, and how could the people live a stable life?

You must never have such thoughts again. Is that all you have to say?"

Liu Huilin was a typical farmer. He had never been to school and had no cultural background. He couldn't even read a single word.

He couldn't understand Shen Qingyan's words completely. But looking at Shen Qingyan's eyes, he knew he had done something stupid.

He looked slightly embarrassed and said quickly, "That's all. There's nothing else. If you have something to do, go ahead and do it."

He could see that this gentleman seemed to be worried about something, otherwise he would have looked outside the kitchen countless times during the few words he spoke.

Hearing him say that everything was fine, Shen Qingyan didn't dare stay outside any longer. He strode out of the kitchen and went to Xu Yi's room.
