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

Xiao Yushan glared at his friend and said, "You're the trouble. If it were me, I'd try talking to him twice in a nice way. If he doesn't say anything both times, then I'd just go for it.

It just so happened that I recently discovered a few acupuncture points. If you seal those points with needles, you can make a person unable to move for an hour, but the person can remain awake and conscious.

While the person is conscious, use needles to prick his fingers one by one, then pull them out and prick them again, repeating this for an hour. Even the hardest mouth can be pried open."

He was not satisfied with what he said, so he felt around his body for a while, and then a few silver needles appeared between his fingers.

When Zhang Quan looked up, he unexpectedly saw his eyes with a strange smile, and he shrank back in fear. Then he saw the silver light flashing on his fingertips, and his legs became weak and he sat down on the ground.

The voice trembled: "You, what are you going to do? The official is still here."

As he said this, he looked at Shen Qingyan with a look of help.

After hearing what Xiao Yushan said, Shen Qingyan also felt that he was too polite to Zhang Quan, a shameless man.

It’s all his fault. He’s the one who delayed me for so long and hasn’t been able to go see how my future beloved disciple is doing.

So Shen Qingyan suddenly turned around and talked to Shen Liuguang behind him, pretending not to see his gaze.

Zhang Quan was stunned by Shen Qingyan's reaction. Before he could think of any other solution, he saw Xiao Yushan getting closer and closer to him. He even felt that the silver needle in Xiao Yushan's hand was ready to move.

In the scorching summer, his forehead was covered with cold sweat. Thinking that he would be repeatedly pricked in the fingers with needles for an hour, Zhang Quan felt that being beaten with twenty boards was still acceptable.

The people in the courtyard couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as they watched Xiao Yushan walk towards Zhang Quan.

It was because they had never heard of the punishment that Xiao Yushan had just mentioned, and they couldn't help but feel curious about which acupoints could be so magical.

Just when Xiao Yushan was only one step away from Zhang Quan, everyone saw Zhang Quan, who had been holding on for a moment, suddenly bow his head to the ground and beg for mercy in a trembling voice: "I plead guilty, I plead guilty. All my faults are mine. I hope you will punish me."

Hearing Zhang Quan's confession, Shen Qingyan did not hide his surprise at all.

He originally thought it would take some time, but he didn't expect his friend's trick to be quite effective.

Seeing that his words had taken effect, Xiao Yushan almost immediately put away the silver needle in his hand, turned around, and looked at Shen Qingyan with an indescribable look of pride.

Shen Qingyan's case has not been judged yet, so I don't bother to pay attention to him and let him be proud as he wants.

"Liu Lichun!" Shen Qingyan called out to Liu Lichun, who seemed to be in a trance, "Do you admit your guilt?"

With Zhang Quan's experience as a lesson, Liu Lichun nodded honestly: "I know my crime."

Shen Qingyan nodded. "According to the laws of Tianle Kingdom, you should also be whipped. Considering that this is your first offense and you were forced by others, your punishment will be reduced by half. You only need to receive five strokes of the cane. Do you have any questions?"

Liu Lichun originally thought that she would be punished with twenty strokes of the cane like Zhang Quan, but she was delighted to hear such a verdict. She quickly replied, "I have no doubts. Thank you for your mercy, sir."

Shen Qingyan was very satisfied with Liu Lichun's advice: "Okay, in that case, when I return to the Lingxiao City government office, you will follow me to accept the punishment.

I have something to deal with now, so please wait in the courtyard. Kuzhu!

He looked at Kuzhu and said, "You watch them in the yard."

"Yes!" Kuzhu held the sword and bowed to accept the order.

Xu Zhiliang looked at the case and thought that this was a good opportunity to get close to the official. He strode hurriedly to Shen Qingyan and said respectfully, "Sir, I am Xu Zhiliang, the head of Xuliu Village, and my courtesy name is Anbang. You can call me Xu Zhiliang or Xu Anbang."

It is a great honor for our Xuliu Village that you have come to visit.

If you need help, please let me know."

Shen Qingyan has reached his current position, and there are many people who want to curry favor with him. He only needs to take a glance to tell whether that person is sincere or has ulterior motives.

The person in front of him, with his fawning eyes and flattering words, made it hard for Shen Qingyan not to be wrong.

There was no ripple in his eyes, and he said calmly, "This official has a private matter to deal with, so I won't bother you, Li Zheng. Please do as you please."

After saying that, he turned around and looked at his friend beside him and said, "Let's go in and take a look together."

Seeing that both of them entered Xu Yi's room, Qiao Xi hurried to follow. Before catching up, she did not forget that there was Xu Chong in the courtyard who had helped her and Xu Yi.

Out of politeness, she greeted Xu Chong and went into the room.

As for Xu Zhiliang, it is up to him whether to leave or stay.

Shen Qingyan sat by the bed and looked at Xu Yi carefully. As he looked, he said, "Xiao Shitou, when will he wake up?"

Xiao Yushan frowned when he was called, a little unhappy: "Shen Pingning, I'm an adult now, can you please stop calling me by my nickname?"

"Isn't a name for calling?" Shen Qingyan didn't care whether he was happy or not, and continued to ask, "Tell me, when will he wake up?"

He refused to listen, so Xiao Yushan said angrily, "If he doesn't wake up today, he will definitely wake up tomorrow at the latest."

Hearing this, Shen Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing him injured so badly yesterday, he was worried that he would not wake up before he left Lingxiao City.

He nodded. "That's good. By the way, you just said you had your eyes on a disciple. Who is it? Do I know him?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yushan was about to open his mouth to speak, but suddenly closed it again.

I told you not to call me by my nickname, but you didn't listen. So why should I answer your questions?

He hesitated and said sarcastically, "Alas, I won't tell you."

Shen Qingyan didn't care about his friend's sarcasm.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Yushan's mood suddenly turned bad. He said unhappily, "If he wakes up tomorrow, when do you plan to have him perform the apprenticeship ceremony?"

Shen Qingyan pulled the back corners for Xu Yi to cover his belly, and said honestly: "I haven't thought about it yet. At least we have to pick an auspicious day soon." This way he could show how much he valued Xu Yi.

"What, are you in trouble?"

Shen Qingyan asked back.

Xiao Yushan nodded: "When you set a date, tell me."

Seeing his indifferent expression, Shen Qingyan said slowly: "Why, you want to participate too? Then I tell you, you will be considered my apprentice's uncle, so you can't go empty-handed."

Xiao Yushan: "..."

After a while, as if remembering something, he suddenly said, "Don't worry, I will definitely go, but I also want to remind you one thing."

"What?" Shen Qingyan looked at him in confusion.

"You also need to prepare two gifts. As for what they are for, you don't need to ask. Even if you ask, I won't tell you. You will know when you hold the apprenticeship ceremony."

Before Shen Qingyan could say anything, Xiao Yushan simply "blocked" his mouth.

Qiao Xi stood by and watched the two of them interacting with each other. She suddenly felt that she was facing two elementary school students - so childish.

Who said that men remain young until they die? This statement is indeed convincing.

She shook her head helplessly, then looked at Xu Yi. Seeing that his lips were dry again, she hurriedly picked up a wet cloth to wipe them.

Inadvertently, her eyes fell on Xu Yi's hand. Looking at the scene in front of her, she suddenly wondered if she was dazzled.
