20 The open flame was finally extinguished. Zhou Dao stood by the stream and looked at the dilapidated mess in front of him, silent and wanted to cry without tears.

There were many people around, sitting or lying down to rest and slow down, several people whispered in a pile, no one dared to persuade Zhou Dao at this time, even Xu Wa'er only stood stunned behind Zhou Dao.

"It's over." Zhou Dao thought. Four of the five mills were burned down, and only the last one was saved. The burnt wreckage was still hot and could not be approached, and there was a smell of burnt rice in the air, which smelled good, but Zhou Dao's heart was dripping with blood. White smoke rose from the embers, it was water vapor.

"It's all over." Zhou Dao was discouraged but unwilling, "Just at the beginning, he was ruined." All the hard work was in vain? This goddamn bastard He Er, what kind of hatred do I have with you! Do you want to do things perfectly? Without a warning, without the slightest hint, set fire! It's all burned! Push me to death? Dogs are more poisonous than snakes! Zhou Dao's resentment had nowhere to vent, so he could only pinch his thighs. What now? Doesn't matter! It's like it's dead, and it's been dead once anyway. ”

"It's bankrupt, and now I still have three or four runs in my hands, and I owe Carpenter Chen more than ten times. There is still a mill house left, not to mention that there is no money, even if you want to rebuild it, you can't repair it, and now it's still very early in the dry season, and you can't cut off the water at all! Do you want to change the route again? The chickens haven't grown up, they can't be sold for two dollars, and they still have to eat so much every day! What to eat? What to do! Zhou Dao was cranky, full of empty despair. This inexplicable world was playing cruel jokes on him, and as soon as he saw a little hope, he was pushed into the abyss in the blink of an eye.

Then, Pan Ye came. Pan Ye is Pan Ye, in the dark night when others heard the fire, what they thought of was to put out the fire with a bucket, Pan Hu was outside the door of the town, looking at the fiery red mountains and forests from afar, standing for a while, then went back to the house to put on the errand clothes neatly, and called the Liang errand officer, and came. They all carried knives.

"Let's go, Gongzi Zhou, you are the bitter master, go with me to get people." Pan Ye's face was calm, "I asked, in Shijing Town, it was called Pan Jijiang and Li Er, and several people recognized them." Let's go now, quickly. "Hmm" Zhou Dao's eyes were blood-red, but his eyes were dull, and he responded. Pan Hu didn't say much, shouted everyone to follow, temporarily confessed a few words, turned around and left. Zhou Dao looked at the still smoking ruins, squatted down and picked up a handful of water from the stream and splashed it on his face, rubbed it for a while, trying to wipe away the smoke and exhaustion, and then got up and followed into the darkness.

Pan Jijiang ran away, he was the masked messenger, he opened a mill in Shijing Town, and people also had brute force. When Pan Ye and the others broke in, the Pan family was scared. Zhou Dao and a group of more than ten people came over, and everyone had a guy in their hands, either a flat shoulder or a stick. That Pan Jijiang knew that his body had been exposed, so he sent Li Er back, took some coils and ran away overnight.

When the old man of the Pan family saw Pan Ye, he knew that he was coming to get someone, and said that his son had gone to Luzhou two days ago to buy goods and had never come back. "Well, his accomplices have already been recruited, and there are more than one or two people who have seen him today, and he can't hide from the fifteenth day of junior high school, so tell the eldest master when you present these words." What Pan Ye said was usual, and Old Man Pan's feet trembled. "Let's go, Xiao Wu and Xu San'er went to the backyard to lead the cow." "Hmm" The two of them went to take the cow when they answered, and there were two cows in the Pan family's mill, which was the lifeblood of the people! The whole family came up to stop them, and Zheng, the daughter-in-law of the Pan family, grabbed the cow rope to block the front, and sat on the ground crying.

"Presumptuous!" Pan Ye shouted: "The official family dares to obstruct it!" "This is the bitter master." He pointed to Zhou Dao and said to the Pan family, "Your son burned other people's houses, and he didn't even see you shouting after burning five houses." Lao Liang! If anyone obstructs his work, you will take him back to the office. "Saying that, Pan Ye pointed to a fourteen or fifteen-year-old offspring, who was Pan Jijiang's son. His son ran away, and if someone dared to make trouble, he took his son back to the yamen for questioning. Liang Chajun snorted, shook out the iron chain from his waist, and looked at everyone expressionlessly. When he said this, the Pan family didn't dare to move, and the daughter-in-law of the Pan family immediately protected her son and didn't dare to speak.

"Master Pan, everyone's surname is Pan, you always look at the sake of your family..." Old Man Pan didn't finish speaking, "Okay, there are many people surnamed Pan, how to deal with the county magistrate has his own measure, I still have to go to get people, if you run away and want to commit a crime, his share will also be counted on your family." Let's go. Everyone took the cow out and went straight to Li Er's house, the Pan family did not dare to stop it anymore, and the cow could only cry and follow all the way when it was taken away.

When he arrived at Li's house, Li Er was there, saying that he was sick and lying in the back room to recuperate. When Pan Ye entered the room, a few local men also followed, thinking that he heard Xin'er rushing over. This Li family is the surname of the town, and there are not a few relatives in this family, Li Er is the cousin of Pan Jijiang, what is going on, anyone can think of it. "Oh, I'm sick, it's hot and it's still so much, let me see." Pan Ye said kindly, and then he was about to uncover the quilt. Li Er's daughter-in-law is also surnamed Li, and when the Li family saw this, she hurriedly stopped her, and was glared at by Pan Ye and shrank back.

Pan Ye undoubtedly stretched out his hand to uncover the quilt, only to see that Li Er's head was wrapped in sackcloth on his face, and he grinned in pain, and he could see that his front teeth had also fallen out. "What kind of disease is this, how did you get it?" "I fell, I fell yesterday" Before he finished speaking, Pan Ye suddenly stretched out his hand and opened Li Er's shirt, only to see that he was red and black, blisters in many places, and his skin had fallen off. This time, Li Er cried in pain, and Li Ye's face turned pale and he knelt down for Pan Ye.

"Hey, fell? Let's go to the fire. He turned back and commanded, "Lower the door panel and carry it away." "No! Official, you can't see that he is afraid like this! Li couldn't cry and hugged Pan Hu's leg. Let go! Pan Ye looked at her coldly and said again, "Let go." The Liang servant on the side brushed the ground and pulled out the Pu knife. Li Shi was frightened, and Pan Ye raised his leg to shake her off. The Lee family cried out "wow", and she looked at her people in horror and dazedness, watching these people with foreign surnames carry her husband out.

When Pan Ye walked out of the door, he saw a red torch! Hundreds of men, women, and children blocked the door, and the number was growing. The young men and even some women had a hoe in their hands, and they were silent, staring at Pan Hu and them.

"Pan Ye, what a big official!" It was the patriarch who spoke, Li Taibai. This patriarch is more than seventy years old, gray-haired and prestigious, and he is the most important patriarch in this town. "Oh, it's Uncle Taibai, but what do you want to say to me?" Pan Ye arched his hand. "Don't dare, I just want to ask, what did he do in the middle of the night, and where did Pan Ye want to take him?" The patriarch pointed to Li Er on the door panel. "It's nothing, he just set fire to five mills in Zhuxi Town with others, and I took him back to the county government to await trial."

"Five!" The crowd whispered, some wondered, some surprised, and some gloated. It seems that a lot of people are so busy that they don't know what's going on. "Wronged! Uncle save me! It was Li Er who spoke, he reluctantly propped up his head slightly, and his voice was weak.

"Dare to do cowardice that you don't dare to recognize." Liang on the side said slowly. "Who said he set the fire, but someone saw it?" "Of course, there are witnesses, and his accomplices have also been arrested." "Oh? I don't know if this person is there, I want to ask him what he saw, can I be sure it's Li Er? In the middle of the night, he can see this face clearly? Hearing this, Pan Ye stared at the patriarch's eyes, his face was cold, and the patriarch also raised his head to look at Pan Ye.

"This old crumb. It seems that he knows the inside story, but I don't know if he learned about it afterwards or if he knew it beforehand? Pan Ye judged, and then said, "Is it him, take it back to the county magistrate and ask it will be clear." "Lord Yu is clear-sighted, Li Er has grievances, and he himself complains that other people don't believe it, and he still hears less about bending into tricks? I'm afraid that this questioning will still fall on the witnesses. "Questioning witnesses is also a matter for adults, when did it fall on the Li family patriarch? I'm the head catcher and only the errand and the people, and I can't tell you anything else, let's go. "Then lift your feet and go.

"Wait, the old man only said one word, everyone watched, Li Er's injury is like this, if you don't take care of it carefully, I'm afraid it won't be able to delay tomorrow. If it is said that he set the fire, who says it must be asked clearly, if he throws a dying clansman into prison so inexplicably, I, as the patriarch, will not be able to explain, this is a matter of human life! Pan Ye, do you think it's this reason? "Yes!" "That's the reason." "It's too bullying, it's bullying our Li family!" "Uncle Tai said it well, don't be afraid of the guy surnamed Pan!" The men in the crowd echoed loudly with hoes and sticks, and the crowd became angry.

Without waiting for Pan Ye to speak, the patriarch raised his hand and stopped in mid-air, signaling quiet, his eyes were like torches, and he saw at a glance the third elder Wu Disaster standing behind Pan Hu among the millers, and Wu Disaster was the person from Shijing Town.

"The third child of the Wu family, I know that you are a miller over there, can you be present when the mill is on fire today?" Wu Disaster was standing far back, but he didn't expect that he would suddenly become the protagonist, he felt Qi Shushu's gaze shoot at him, his face was hot, and he replied calmly, "Be there." "You're from this town, but you have to think about it, and answer truthfully." The patriarch stared at his eyes and said slowly, then glanced at Pan Hu again, and then asked, "Did you see that the arsonist was Li Er, or did you see his face clearly?" Everyone stared at Wu Disaster, time stood still, and the sweat on his face came down at this moment.

"Damn, you shouldn't have come!" Wu Disaster secretly regretted this! You can't hide, damn the chicken's back to the sky. "I don't see it." There was a hum, and the crowd began to talk neutrally. "Did you not see it, or did someone else see it?" "I didn't see it, and I don't think anyone else could see his face either." Before waiting for the crowd on the opposite side to fry the pot, Wu Disaster's voice sounded again, "There are three people who set fires, they are all masked, two of them, one of them was arrested, and one was ripped off and the mask was revealed, but he ran away with the other who was ripped off and masked." "Is the person who was ripped off the mask Li Er?" The patriarch snapped up.

"It's not Li Er, it's Pan Jijiang." There was a commotion in the crowd. The patriarch raised his hand, and the field gradually quieted down, "What about Pan Jijiang?" He's talking about Li Er? "No, Pan Jijiang ran away. Wu replied. "The rest of the people are masked, which means that they can't be sure that he is Li Er, you guessed, he can be anyone, right." The patriarch asked.

Wu was silent, and everyone stared at him. "No. It couldn't have been anyone, although he was masked, but everyone saw that he was burned on his waist and back when he set the fire, and his face was also injured by a scoop of water when he fled. Just a few words, but after the third child finished speaking, his body seemed to be a little prostration, he was finished, he thought, "Why do you have to work hard." He didn't know how he would face these neighbors in the future, how he would face these workers if he told lies, and how he would face his conscience. He couldn't hear what they were talking about, everything he knew was done, and the rest was none of his business. Wu Disaster shook a little, and he seemed to be unsteady on his feet. A hand stretched out next to him and held his shoulder, it was Zhou Dao.

Pan Ye ordered the people behind him to carry Li Er to the open place at the door and put him on the ground. Under the torch, Li Er's quilt and placket were lifted, his burns were shocking, and everyone looked at the injuries on Li Er's waist and face and was speechless, speechless. "Carry it away," Pan Ye said in a deep voice. "Slow" The patriarch's voice sounded again, Pan Hu twisted his eyebrows and turned around, looking at the patriarch, as if he was about to have a seizure.

"Master Pan, I ask you for a favor, you see that he can't stand the toss like this. He did a foolish thing, when he is a little better, I will detain him to surrender to the county office, you see my age, for the sake of his dead father, you can sell me face. As he spoke, he gave his hand to Pan Ye. When Pan Ye heard this, he also showed some embarrassment, he was mixed with this land, and when he saw that the other party was soft and didn't want to be too stiff, he said, "Zhou Gongzi is here, he is the bitter master, you have to ask him." Everyone looked at Zhou Dao again, and when Zhou Dao came, he hated them so much, but then he saw that they were worse than the other, and the problem of soft-heartedness was committed again.

Just as he was hesitating, he heard the voice of a middle-aged man in the crowd say, "There is anything else to ask, Mrs. Li has spoken, and he hasn't said anything yet, is it shameless to be embarrassed?" "That's it, less nonsense, people don't want to take it away, see what he can do." The patriarch listened in silence, but did not stop his younger people.

In the distance, the sky turned white, and people were already gathering more and more, and more and more people were holding sticks in their hands, and they were gossiping one after another. Zhou Dao looked at Pan Hu and shook his head silently, not knowing whether he said no, or said that he couldn't be impulsive. Pan Ye is not impulsive, he will only act, "If you want to say that, you still have to take this Li Er away today." "You! Pan Hu, don't deceive people too much! The patriarch pointed at Pan Ye. I brought the criminal back to the office, how can I deceive people too much? Zhou Gongzi, let's go, carry people. ＂

Zhou Dao raised his feet and left, he didn't want to stay here for a moment. "Phew", a mouthful of saliva spit on his face, it was a woman, Zhou Dao was stunned and raised his sleeve to wipe it, his face was red and blue. This woman knows that it is the mother-in-law Zheng of Pan Jijiang who escaped, in her thirties, she is small and delicate, and her eyebrows are also delicate, and she has a bit of beauty. Her family was taken away from two key cows, and she was angry in her heart, and she wanted to make a big deal so that she could drive away the poor people and snatch back the cattle, and she was even more angry when she saw Zhou Dao at this time.

"Thoughtful! You thief wild seed... Zheng's shrill voice sounded, "It's all a disaster caused by you!" Obviously, the mills of each family are running well, but you, the thief, have cut the price of the milled rice by half, how can you make our mills live? You're full of bad water and bad ideas, you black-hearted thing! The woman pointed at Zhou Dao and scolded, and she was angry and bullied her forward to tear Zhou Dao's face. How has Zhou Dao experienced this? grabbed with her, grabbed her shirt in a hurry, pulled her to the side, and with a "bang", the shirt on her shoulder was torn open...

The woman was not a vegetarian, she suddenly let go of her hand and violently protected her chest with one hand, and grabbed Zhou Dao's hand with the other hand, and roared, "Good you whore! How dare you do such a dirty thing in broad daylight and humiliate me in public! Everyone saw it in front of everyone today, and I don't want to live anymore, so I'm fighting with you! Zhou Dao tried his best to shake her off, but his hair stood on end, "The most poisonous woman's heart!" There was a commotion in the crowd, and a man squeezed over with a hoe, "The guy surnamed Zhou is too bad!" "Hit! Shoot him! "This scum! The men, women, and children who were far away were even more noisy and red-eyed.

"Boom!" As soon as she kicked the ground, the woman flew to the side like a broken bag, and fell to the ground and fell to the ground.

This kick came from Pan Ye. The noise stopped, and the scene immediately fell silent. "Good for you, poisonous woman. Everyone can falsely accuse people of innocence, you should be blind! Everyone was shocked by Pan Ye's might. The Pan family picked up their daughter-in-law who was crying and glared at Pan Hu and the others!

"Okay, you Pan Hu! You bully men and women and bully others! There are clearly grievances, but you want to make an iron case! That Zhou Dao villain, who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to drill camps, has been unrighteous businessmen since ancient times, and I don't know how many people have been harmed! Today, he was promiscuous in public and molested this woman from a good family, which is obvious to all! A shameless person whose morals are so corrupt deserves that there is still a word in his name. Since ancient times, evil cannot prevail over good! To do such a hurtful thing, is it to deceive me and no one in my town or what? Tang is not talented, the first one is not to give up with that thief! And Pan Hu, you protect him everywhere, I want to ask, how much black money you have received from this rich and unrighteous beast... These words are said endlessly, in one go, and the righteousness is awe-inspiring!

It was Tang Zhi who spoke, he stood up and stood in front of everyone, glaring at Pan Hu without compromise! He is one of the most famous people in Shijing Town, second only to Li Taibai in status. This person was a private school teacher in his early years, and his appearance was upright and white-bearded, and he was nearly sixty years old, and he was quite famous. He watched coldly for a long time, and when he saw that Pan Hu beating women and children, he took action in awe-inspiring anger. "Good!" "Good scolding!" "Shoot him!" "Profiteers! "Catch him, don't let that thief surnamed Zhou escape!" "That's right! Can't let them run! The crowd echoed loudly, full of energy, and the momentum became more and more enthusiastic. Some people swung the stick in their hand vigorously, and some people slammed the ground with a stick, making a rhythmic clang!

Zhou Dao's face was pale, and he couldn't really see it in the dark, "You are a dead king!" Did I kill your mother? You're so shitty! "He couldn't take it anymore! Although everyone didn't understand it, they knew that he was scolding people "Presumptuous!" You wickedness! I see that you are angry and angry, and you dare to bark here. Come on, take down this brute! Tang Zhi pointed directly at Zhou Dao. Good! "Yes!" Let all people drink. "Dare!" A loud roar, "Lao Tzu is standing here, I'll fucking see who dares to move!" Pan Hu's eyes widened and swept through everyone!

The crowd swayed forward for a moment before pausing. "Nonsense! Bloody mouth! Zhou Dao's eyes were red, where had he ever seen this kind of formation? I have never been scolded like this, this is a sentence of punishment that puts people to death! He clenched his fists and clenched his teeth, and let out a low roar.

Pan Hu was in front of him, turned his head when he heard the sound, raised his hand to signal him to calm down, then turned around and smiled and nodded, "Well, okay..." It's Tang Ye. I'm just thinking...", and when everyone didn't react, he raised his hand and grabbed Tang Ye's chest, "Bang, bang, bang!" "Four crunchy big-eared scrapers will go down!" Yes! Ahh The soup man's face immediately left red fingerprints, and even the corners of his mouth were soaked with blood. These few blows were really heavy, Tang Ye was beaten, he covered his face with one hand, pointed at Pan Ye with the other hand tremblingly, full of resentment, "You, you... Hello!" "He's incoherent and no longer sharp-tongued. No one would have imagined that Pan Hu would suddenly burst out, so rough and fierce in front of a lean old man!

Everyone was shocked! Pan Hu let go of his hand and looked at him with a sneer, and then asked, "I just want to ask, which eyeball did you see that I received his black money..." The commotion just now calmed down a little again, "When, where, who saw whom, and how much money was charged?" You shouldn't tell everyone clearly, what crime should you punish for framing officials in public? When Sono takes you back to the ya, you will know. Tang Zhi and the others were a little stupid when they heard this, how could this be said clearly? I didn't dare to say anything hard for a while. Seeing this, Pan Ye said, "Lao Liang, lock him up and take him away." He pointed at Tang Zhi, "Carry Li Er, let's go." Liang stepped forward to take the person with a "hmm" sound, and the rest of the people lifted Li Er to leave, "Can't let them go!" Fuck it! Someone was shouting, and the crowd stirred again, pushing and shoving with Pan Ye Zhou Dao and others.

"Pan Hu, do you really want to do something absolutely bad? Not afraid of retribution? With me, you don't want to take people away today! The patriarch also tore his face and stopped in front, and the situation suddenly became tense.

"Don't you want to take it away today? Li Taibai, do you mean that tomorrow can be taken away the day after tomorrow? Damn you, I'll go find a ghost when the time comes! If he commits a crime, I will take him back to the office, this is what you said to do things absolutely? They set fire to it in a row, set fire to five mills in other houses, and went to burn the chicken coop, there were chickens in the chicken coop and people sleeping, is this considered a great job? Speaking of retribution, Lao Tzu came out to mix, for so many years, he has never been afraid of retribution! Eating this bowl of rice with blood, life and death have long been seen lightly. He raised his hand and pointed at Li Taibai, "Walking on the road, Lao Tzu has always been a person who respects me, I respect people and he is a foot, and he has always eaten soft and not hard!" It's useless to talk too much, and if it's hard, I only recognize the knife. Let me leave the words here today, the ox will be led, the man will be carried, and he will die, and he will die in prison. With that, he pushed the patriarch away, raised his feet and walked out.

Although everyone in the block has a guy in their hands, they all know Pan Ye, and because of his many years of accumulation, no one dares to touch him, so they block in front of him. But there are also those who are bold and not afraid of things, and they squeeze out and intercept the way in front of Pan Ye.

"Get out! Your mother wants to die. Pan Hu knocked the man away with an elbow and pointed the tip of his knife at his face. The man was about to step forward, scolding in his mouth, and was pulled by others and seemed to be extremely reluctant to forget it, and the others also dodged away. But the people behind Pan Ye don't have this treatment, and they have begun to push, scold, stab each other with sticks, or add fists and feet.

Zhou Dao was huddled in the middle of the crowd, he and the grinders were nervous, he received a punch in the head, and two blows in the shoulder and back, and they had to pass as quickly as possible. "Ah", a shout, "Ah" another shout, the latter call came from Lao Liang, Liang Messenger.

Pan Hu stopped suddenly, no longer pushing hard, he looked back, only to see Lao Liang covering the arch of his eyebrows with his hand, and the blood had already flowed down his fingers and cheeks. Pan Ye took the lead, and after Lao Liang broke, this was said before. The official was injured, and seeing this change, the crowd was not fighting, so he slowed down his hand to look at this side.

"Old Liang?" Pan Ye shouted loudly. "It didn't hurt the eye, it hit the door of the head, it was a stone." Lao Liang replied, then brushed the ground and drew a knife, shouting, "Mother, who beat you?" Lao Tzu hacked him to death. "As he spoke, he rushed into the pile of people alone, and the pile of people dodged away, and people jumped away with sticks, for fear of being innocently injured." Stop it! The patriarch was also anxious, "Pan Hu, you are so messy that you are only afraid that you will have to splatter blood for five steps!" Pan Hu pulled out the Pu knife and shouted, "Just say this to you, Lao Tzu is going to kill today!" "Kill and kill, whoever kills may not be able to say!" Bright guys! Li Taibai also roared. Everyone showed their heads, Zhou Dao's sweat wet his back, and he felt Xiao Wu's hands beside him holding a flat pole and shaking constantly. The third Wu disaster was pinching the flat pole wood there, and he didn't know which side to help. Zhou Dao himself was the same, his calves kept trembling unobediently.

For a while, the scene was quiet, and the two sides were on the verge of breaking out. Pan Ye half-bowed, holding the knife in his right hand, and the tip of the knife rushed forward. He was at the front, and on three sides except his back, the men of the other side were facing him coldly with a pole, a hoe, and a pitchfork in their hands. In their eyes there is anger, nervousness, and indifference. It was as if an order would smash him into a pulp. "Dog's day! Kill them all and bury them! I don't know who roared in the dark head. "Dog's day! "Kill them! There was a commotion in the crowd.

Pan Ye blinked, nodded and shouted, "Okay!" What a guts! Gather a crowd to attack and kill officials! This crime is confirmed. The sin of treason! When the strain... The last sentence was like a thunderbolt.

Quiet! I understand it. For a moment, it was quiet enough to hear the crackling of torches. "Bang dang!" A hoe fell to the ground, "Boom! "Again." Uncle Tai! This, what can I do! How did it come to this? Don't be reckless! It was a middle-aged man's voice, and he cried at the end.

"Ahh Patriarch Li opened his mouth and suddenly lost his soul. "Pan Hu, don't talk nonsense! You're trying to force my Li family to death! "It's poignant and urgent." I didn't force you. It's you who are foolish, and you want to take the whole clan to a dead end! And he said, "It's up to you?" A few clansmen, a few hoes, also want to kill officials and rebel? Could it be that you still want to leave a dozen of my lives here! And then what? Can't see through the wind, and no one knows? Dream your mother! Forgive you for not having the ability or the guts! The crime of rebellion is greater than rebellion, but it is a great sin, just to earn face for your old face, you have to gamble the lives of the whole clan! ＂

"Look at the mother-in-law behind you, look at their faces, clan! Irudu must die! That's what the you're trying to do! Hearing this, the old patriarch was a little broken, "I have no intention of doing this!" I was deaf and offended Pan Ye, so stop here, stop here! Don't let it go on again! I apologize to Pan Ye, it's none of their business! I also ask Pan Ye to be gracious! As he spoke, he fell to the ground, and tears flowed from his old eyes.

"The people are the people, and the officials are the officials! This big family, young and old, angered the official authority and violated the rules of heaven, how can he live? Old Man Li said and wiped his old face with his sleeves, clenched his fists, and looked at Pan Hu with a slight trembling body.

The patriarch's forehead was bruised, and as his heavy breathing fluctuated, he turned his head to stare at the clansmen who were still standing in fear, and shouted, "Which dog's evil obstacle was shouting just now?" Climb out and kowtow to Lao Tzu! "There is no obstacle, no one speaks.

"I'm completely blind, why don't you kowtow to the errand officer to make amends!" Everyone didn't expect things to change so quickly, and they wanted to kill the other party just now, so they had to kowtow to him in the blink of an eye to make amends? Thinking about the conversation between the patriarch and Pan Ye, is this really as serious as they said? But if you hurt the errand officer, it's okay to cure you for gathering a crowd to make trouble, it's too good!

"Uncle Tai! No! He wants to bluff me with a few words? Can't do it! Tang Zhi held the chain hanging around his neck with one hand, and pointed at Pan Hu with the other hand tremblingly and roared. Syllable. Another ear scraper, this time it was the old patriarch who hit it, "Day your mother!" It's your dog's day again? Anyway, if something happens, if you want to die, you will also die to the people of my Li family, right! Annoyed, he looked around and shouted, "Who is still standing, your mother is going to rebel, isn't it?" Apologize to Pan Ye! Everyone knelt down one after another, including those who were not from the Li family. Some of them are very reluctant, standing in the middle at this time looks abrupt, and they are swept away by Pan Ye's eyes, and they hesitate to go down, even people with foreign surnames do not want to stand so eye-catching, so as not to be remembered to participate in this matter when settling accounts after the autumn.

But there are hundreds of people of all kinds, and there are always a few who are not afraid of stubbornly clubbing there, as if shouting with their bodies, "Lao Tzu just doesn't accept it!" ＂

Pan Ye stared at those people, and those people also looked back at him. Pan Ye pinched the handle of the knife, and it was okay! He didn't plan to get any more inches, that could lead to a loss of control and a broken net. As an old Jianghu, there is room for three points, and it will be good to see each other in the future, and he knows when to stop.

Pan Ye stepped forward to support the patriarch who was about to be short, "Hey! Patriarch Li, why do you bother? It's a simple thing, and it's what it should be. Forget it, don't talk about it, it's all from the villagers, for your old face, I'll cover it later, I'll forget it later. ＂

"Hey, hey, it's still Pan Ye, you are refreshing, the old man will definitely remember your love." "Alas, don't remember, don't remember, your old patriarch Li said so, I thought you had a grudge against me." "Pan Ye said that he laughed, said he laughed." "You see that although I have forgotten, Lao Liang still remembers it." I saw Lao Liang standing aside and watching coldly, his face was covered with blood, and he was very hideous.

"Master Liang, Master Liang, you have a lot." The patriarch didn't know what to say to Lao Liang for a while, he pointed to a clansman in front of him, "You, go and invite Wang Langzhong and bring Jin Chuangyao, be fast, be good." After that, he whispered a few words to another middle-aged man beside him, and the man answered and left. Damn, Lao Tzu just wants to find out who smashed the stone, and if he cuts him twice, he won't owe each other. Lao Liang was talking to himself there.

"Pan Ye, Pan Ye, you dissipate your anger, do you see me here?" A muffled voice is Tang Ye. At this moment, he has lost the charm just now, both of his cheeks and one eye are swollen, and he is rubbing Pan Ye there. Pan Ye glanced at him sideways when he heard the sound, touched his chin and didn't look at him, "I'm a person, I hate those people who look like dogs, and I often like to make noise about morality and righteousness to suppress the hypocrisy of the whole person, this kind of person is very bad." "Pan Ye, Pan Ye, you see that I am also so old, if I go to prison, it is really not certain whether I can get out by then, today you will always raise your noble hand!" "At such an age? Oh? Are you trying to trick me? I looked away at you again. Some people, when they are young, they are little bastards, and when they are older, they are old bastards, and in my opinion, whether they are evil or not has nothing to do with age. He added, "Your business is not over yet, you have to go with us, long memory, as for where you want to die, it is your own business." Then he looked at him no more.

After a while, Lang Zhong came running with someone and bandaged Liang Ye. Lao Liang is either called Liang on weekdays, or shouted by Lao Liang Lao Liang, although he is a little injured today, but he is shouting "Liang Ye, Liang Ye", this anger has also smoothed out a lot. At this time, a person whispered behind the patriarch's side, and the patriarch had already recovered some of his complexion, and arched his hand and said, "Master Pan, Master Liang has a little misunderstanding today, and I hope that the two poor officials, adults have a lot, don't go to your heart." You see that from the middle of the night to the dawn now, the two of you are really hard, this is a little tea money to talk about your heart, and please don't shirk. Come on" said and waved his hand, and there were two people below each holding a burden, each with four pieces of money in the baggage, and sent it to Pan Ye and Liang Ye. There is no need to open it, Pan Ye only glanced at it, and he was able to estimate a large number.

Lao Liang didn't move, looking at Pan Ye. "Hehe, Mr. Li, you are still too outward, if I don't take it down, it will be a little family, I will accept it with such a heart." Pan Hu motioned to the mill who came with him to take the money on his back. Turning to the patriarch, he hugged his fist, "That's it for today, farewell." With that, he led everyone to carry Li Er and walked out.

"Master Pan, you can take the slave family with you." I saw Li Er's daughter-in-law Li kneeling beside her daughter, "If he doesn't take care of his injury, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive in prison..." The patriarch Li Taibai on the side also sighed. Pan Ye frowned, "That's it, let his brother Li Da follow, you can't get into the number of male prisoners even if you are a woman." Then the Li family was busy kowtowing and thanking him. Just as he was leaving, someone shouted again, "I have something to say." The voice was not loud, but I heard it clearly, and I saw a hand raised in the crowd, which was Zhou Dao.

No one spoke, everyone stared at Zhou Dao. Everyone knows him, and everyone still remembers the scene where the mother-in-law of the Pan family tore up with him just now, he is a bitter master, that is, the black-hearted profiteer who can calculate. Anything else to say? People took away, the cattle were led, kneeling and kneeling, the money was given, and there was something to say? And there's more! The gaze that looked at him was irritated and nervous, not only the other party, but also his own people who had come from the mill. "You are a bitter master, if you have something to say, you can say it." Pan Ye's face was not good, and he stared at Zhou Dao coldly.

Zhou Daochong arched his hand at Pan Ye and said, "Pan Ye, I want to ask for a favor for Li Er, see if I can let him recuperate at home first, and when the injury is better, I will go to you and deal with it as I want." Can you keep looking at it? "Coax!" Everyone was in an uproar, and no one expected that the bitter lord who had been burned down five mills in a row and his family wealth was burned would intercede for arson. If you want to let him go, it's not such a trick to fight favors, right? When the Li mother and daughter heard this, they immediately knelt down for Zhou Dao and cried bitterly. Zhou Dao took a step back, pointed to Li Er, who was crawling on the door panel and moaning, and said to everyone, "I hate Li Er, they set fire to and destroyed my mill house. I milled the house and milled the rice cheaply, benefiting the neighbors, you love me, did you violate the law of the Great Song Dynasty or what? You mill rice expensively, no one comes to grind, this is your own business, why should you be angry with others? Since you committed the crime of arson, you dare not do it, do you think the criminal law of the Great Song Dynasty is an ornament? I intercede for you today, but for the sake of their mother and daughter, and the many people who intercede for you, you can do it yourself. After Zhou Dao finished speaking, he stopped making a sound, and just looked at Pan Hu.

Pan Ye sighed for a while and said, "Okay, the people don't sue the officials and don't hold them accountable, but this is a criminal case, and the crime of arson and destruction of people's property can't escape, looking at the situation under Li Er's eyes, if the Li clan is the guarantee, he will be recuperated at home for the time being, and then I will explain the details to the adults." What do you think, Patriarch Li? "The patriarch gave his hand" is so good, but it depends on Pan Ye's arrangement. I really wrote down the love between Pan Ye and Zhou Gongzi. He then said to Zhou Dao, "Zhou Gongzi is a person of great affection, I know that you have encountered difficulties in this matter, since you are so sincere to my people, I Li Taibai is here to say a word in front of everyone, if you are in trouble, I will help, and I will visit another day." "Thank you so much, Patriarch." What the other party said was a scene, and he couldn't take it seriously, Zhou Dao warned himself, but he still took a deep seat. The millers put down Li Er, led the ox and walked out with Pan Ye.

Zhou Dao was about to leave, when he saw the Pan family leading the Zheng family and her son to make amends, the Zheng family only kept wiping away tears, Zhou Dao looked at her and left silently. The Pan family opened their mouths, and when they saw that Zhou Dao and they were going away, they didn't dare to stop them, so they came to beg the Li family patriarch again.

"Uncle Tai, you have to administer justice! Li Er doesn't have to follow, what do you think I'm a cow to do? The patriarch raised his hand to stop him from talking, "I said that Li Er, he doesn't have a mill at home, why would he follow your kid to set fire?" Hmph, Hindrance! He seemed to remember something again, "Also, don't call me too uncle." You don't have the surname Lee. Then he lifted his feet and left. The dam outside Li Er's house was empty in a blink of an eye, leaving only the Pan family standing there lonely.

The sky was already bright, and the glow of the sun covered the mountains with a layer of red. "What a long night! It's too hard. Zhou Dao walked silently with everyone, with a heavy heart. Someone patted him on the shoulder, he turned his head, it was Pan Ye. "You're pretty good at talking." Pan Ye said with a smile. "Today is really thanks to Pan Ye, I am afraid when I think about it, how hanging!" "A flock of sheep, you're afraid of an egg. Isn't it okay to hold the leader? Pan Ye said with a satisfied smile on his face. "I really admire Pan Ye. "You're not bad either. Let's not talk about that, let's talk about something. As he spoke, he photographed Zhou Dao to the side of the road.

"You're an outsider, so you probably don't know our rules here. If you catch a thief, or if you take anything from a thief, you will divide it in half with the sufferer. There are also four or six, and we are sixty percent, which depends on how much property there is, generally five or five. "Subject." "Huh?" "We're there to call the mark. Refers to the total amount of money involved in the property. It's generally about money. Zhou Dao looked at him and said, "That is to say, I can divide one of these two cows." ”

Pan Ye was a little embarrassed, he didn't understand the first half of what Zhou Dao said, but he believed that Zhou Dao understood the main part of the back, the part about the cow. "More than one. He Ji's mill also has a cow and a donkey, and he will go back to lead it by the way in a while. He paused for a moment, then said, "Don't think it's bullying, I said it's a rule, and you can find out if you inquire in the future." "I understand, it's fine. I know you don't have to lie to me, you can't do it. Zhou Dao was already numb, and he didn't care anymore, he said casually, "Half of the meeting, who is the thief?" Pan Ye frowned when he heard this, but he didn't have a seizure. But if it weren't for you today, I wouldn't even have half of it. Zhou Dao added. Hmph, you kid. Pan Ye smiled and shook his head, "It's quite good." ＂

They walked for a while, and Pan Ye suddenly said, "You should go find Mr. Xu." As for why, he didn't say. At this time, the sky was bright, and a red sun had risen as usual.
