In a short time, the spacious and deserted barn became lively and crowded

Seeing that the people were almost here, the few who arrived early couldn't hold back the curiosity in their hearts

"Doctor Xu, we've been waiting for this half a day, so let's say what's the matter?"

"That's right, everyone is almost here, you can say it."

Geumsan also deliberately talked for a while in the upper room when he went to the notice, and emphasized the reward of one or two silver

Sure enough, Dr. Xu glanced down and saw that several people in the upper room had all come

Walked up to the high platform of the barn and raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, then stroked his beard and said, "Do you know the law of our Daheng Dynasty for theft?"

Li Shi watched Mu Zhen and Xu Shi stand behind Dr. Xu and the village chief holding hands, and spitted: "If you are angry, you will stammer, and others have something great."

Hmph, if it weren't for the silver tael, she wouldn't have come here

The imperial examination law of the Great Heng Dynasty is compulsory, so those who are present know it

Seeing that many people below raised their hands, Dr. Xu nodded with satisfaction, and then asked: "Then do you know which kind of thing is the most severe punishment in the theft law?"

In the same way, many people respond to "grain" and "crops"

"Doctor Xu, all of us who have read books know that you called us here with a lot of people, so we wouldn't want us to help you think about the law," at this time, the villager who didn't know what Dr. Xu was going to do asked curiously

No matter how the people below urged, Dr. Xu was still unhurried: "Don't worry, everyone, the show is only in the back, I understand these, but some people may not understand, so you need to remind him, otherwise someone will say that our old couple is not in the house to steal the crops in the field."

For Dr. Xu's words, everyone said that they were very surprised, and the Daheng Dynasty was mainly agricultural, and the imperial court also specially revised the law in this regard, which is to prevent people from being lazy and stealing other people's food

Therefore, the crime of stealing crops and grain is extremely strict, and some people still try the law

I heard everyone whispering below, "No", "This is what people who haven't read a book, they know what's going on, why do anyone dare to do this", "This kind of person has to be found out, and he has to be severely punished, if he doesn't lend money, he is lazy and steals other people's food, is it that other people's food is brought by the flood?"

I feel that the atmosphere below is almost the same, and Dr. Xu opened his mouth to clarify the reason: "Everyone knows that the dog is lucky to find a job in the county, and when Duanyang in May, he took our old couple to the county seat, and we are leaving, and a lot of vegetables were planted in the field earlier, and let my goddaughter Mu Zhen help us take care of it temporarily, who knows that when I came back today, I found that the vegetables in the field were stolen by others, so I was angry, but I called everyone together to see if anyone saw which one dared to steal even the crops."

Looking at Dr. Xu's affectionate appearance, the village chief secretly said in his heart: This old fox will pinch people's hearts, but he still said righteously: "What everyone says is that this kind of person is to find out, if everyone wants them to steal what they don't have, then who will dare to plant crops in the future."

The villagers below also agreed: "Yes, you have to check the land of every household, there are so many can't see the sky, guard the ground, the land is not a mother-in-law, you can tie her to the waistband of your trousers, this is such a large area, you just can't bolt it if you want to."

I don't know who in the crowd said this, which made the people laugh again

But some people are happy and some people are worried, compared to such a warm atmosphere, the upper room family is a little worried

"Mother, what can you do, isn't that land made by Mu Zhen's mother-in-law, how did it become those two old things," it was the Li family who spoke, and he was always a good thing, and he was the most afraid of death

Song glanced at Li fiercely and scolded: "You ask me, I ask which one, if it weren't for you, a short-lived man and told me, it was the old three, I would pick it."

The more he talked, the more angry the Song family became, and then he slammed Li on the body a few times

"Okay, when is this time, you two still have the heart to talk here, don't hurry up, if people point out that you want to go, you can't leave."

After He Mingzhong reminded him like this, the others reacted, and when they were about to slip away quietly, Dr. Xu's voice remembered in time: "Mingzhe, what do you mean, people are going to leave before they find out."

I don't know who cooperated, "This person is going to be revealed soon, if you don't go, you can't go."

"Why are you talking, the green beans in his house are not picked by us, why don't you let us go?"

As soon as Li said this, someone suddenly said "oh" and said: "Doctor Xu didn't say what was stolen, how do you know it's green beans, besides, we didn't say you, what are you doing in a hurry to deny it, is it because your heart is weak?"

At this time, if everyone hadn't looked at themselves, the Song family would have been eager to slap the Li family a few times, why would you say that this person is stupid and sold

Of course, thinking so in my heart, I naturally can't admit it, "Long Baozi, you dare to talk to Mo Nonsense, the old lady tears your mouth"

Regarding the threat of the Song family, the young man named Long Baozi didn't take it to heart at all: "Why do you dare to do it, others don't dare to say it, I just saw you and your eldest daughter-in-law picking green beans in Dr. Xu's field in the morning."

Although it was exposed, He Mingzhong was still relatively calm on the surface: "Joke, what you said is worth a few dollars, you say that it is his land, it is his land, this is not a big and rare thing, just they planted it, and the thing is not available, is it someone else who stole it, if he picks it back by himself and relies on others, then who knows"

For He Mingzhong's eloquence, Mu Zhen couldn't help but applaud him, he used to think that this old man had a lot of strength to beat people, but he didn't expect that he was not only a reckless man, but his head also turned quite fast

He Mingzhong didn't admit it, Long Baozi was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "It's hard to think that the land was taken back from us by in March, and when Zhenniang asked for help picking green beans a few days ago, I just went to do a day's work, she let us have scissors to cut it, and you picked it like that, the marks are different."

"You also said that a few days ago, it was Zhenniang who was picking, we thought that the land was the son and daughter-in-law, and it was not an exaggeration to go and pick some vegetables," Song couldn't wait to give these people a few slaps this time, why are there so many good things

This time, Dr. Xu, who had been watching from above, spoke: "Zhenniang is your daughter-in-law, what land is under her name, you can't find it?"

One sentence made Song's face red, and he didn't know what to say

He Mingzhong rubbed his hands and said with a dry smile: "Doctor Xu, look, isn't this Zhenniang your goddaughter, we see that the vegetables in these worlds have always been collected by her, so I thought that the land was given to her by you, you see just a few handfuls of green beans, or forget it."

Aunt Xu looked at He Mingzhong with a smile, and snorted coldly: "What do you think you think is what Wang Fa does, even if it is Zhen Niang's heavy dish, you eat other people's things, so you have to be angry, I haven't seen such a righteous and arrogant person."

Regarding Aunt Xu's accusation, He Mingzhong pretended not to see it, and continued to smile at Dr. Xu: "Brother Xu, you see that this is all of us, it's an old woman who interferes, okay."

Mu Zhen looked at He Mingzhong's face that didn't want to talk to Aunt Xu, and suddenly smiled, just now she was still praising this person for being smart, why is he stupid again now

Doctor Xu is reluctant to even do housework for Aunt Xu, even if he is in the village, he specially invites a mother-in-law to serve Aunt Xu

Sure enough, He Mingzhong's voice fell, and before Aunt Xu could react, Dr. Xu was still smiling, and suddenly pulled his face at this time: "What my wife means is what I mean, so what else don't you understand?"

The village chief had seen enough of the drama on the side, pretending to be strict, looking at He Mingzhong and said: "Mingzhong, no matter how you explain it, it's the green beans that picked the green beans in Dr. Xu's field, do you have anything to say?"

He Mingzhong seemed to be a little unwilling, "This is a mistake, we can't find it", but he can only say this, because under the pressure of everyone, they basically admitted this matter

Ignoring He Mingzhong's quibbles, the village chief looked at Dr. Xu and said, "Old Gen'er, you see how you want to solve it."

Doctor Xu glanced at the group of people in the upper room, and the disgust in his eyes was not concealed at all: "This way, after all, it is a village, and I can't do too much, so I won't investigate whether they picked up a lot of my things and paid me five taels of silver."

"What's the matter, five taels, why don't you go and be a bandit," when he heard the five taels of silver, the Song family suddenly exploded

"What's wrong, do you think five taels are missing," Aunt Xixu asked coldly

Looking at this Liankou, he looked like he couldn't negotiate, and the Song family suddenly lay on the ground and splashed: "God, open your eyes and see, these people are bandits and robbers, aren't they going to force us to death, don't you live, I won't live."

"If you don't want to be private, then let's wait for the court, when the time comes, you will not only accompany five taels of silver, you have to rely on the son of the champion, and you don't even have the qualifications to participate in the autumn meeting," Song's sprinkling had no effect on Dr. Xu at all

As soon as he heard about He Fulin's future, the Song family didn't dare to let go, rolled up from the ground, and whispered to He Mingzhong: "You are dead, and you don't know how to say a word, you see what to do now."

"What can you do besides giving silver?" said this, He Mingzhong felt aggrieved, but for the sake of his son's future, he had to give in

"I don't have so much money in my hand now, and when I have money, I'll give it to you," Song was still unwilling, and planned to slow down and find an excuse to get rid of when the time came

Who knows that Aunt Xu doesn't give any face, "We are waiting here, if you don't send me five taels of silver, why don't you go to see the official?"

Five taels of silver may be a lot of money for ordinary people, but there is still no pressure on the upper house that has squeezed He Laosan for so many years and embezzled so much dowry from the deity
