looked at the broken plaque, scattered on the ground at the entrance of the yamen.

Xi Yuanxiu's heart couldn't help but chuckle, and the hand in his sleeve couldn't help but clench into a fist, with a slight force, and then shook his head, and his hand slowly let go.

Liu Xiao looked at the people around with a rosy face that was a little rosy because of anger.

Some people are gloating, some are dodging Liu Xiao's gaze, and some are still sneering, in short, they are far away, and no one is coming.

Fifty tiger guards lined up in turn, dispersing the crowd of onlookers.

Xi Yuanxiu squatted on the ground, picked up pieces of broken plaques, and piled them into a pile.

"Brother Xiu'er, it must have been those people who did it just now, after we clean them up, we will arrest them one by one and put them in the yamen one by one, and let them eat well for a few days."

Xi Yuanxiu waved his hand and said, "Let them be, I don't want to make a branch before returning to Beijing!" ”

Liu Xiao saw that Xi Yuanxiu was still squatting underground and busy working, so he also cleaned up with him.

After a while, the sawdust and debris in front of the door were piled up next to the only stone lion, and then Xi Yuan repaired a fire and burned it!

Liu Xiao couldn't figure out what Xi Yuanxiu was doing, even if he didn't trouble these people, at least this was evidence, and if he burned it like this, there would be nothing.

After a while, the stone lion had been blackened, and the bottom of the stone lion was full of charcoal left over from the fire.

Xi Yuanxiu got up, came to the door, opened the lock on the door, and after pushing it open, he found that the courtyard was in a mess.

The neat bricks and tiles were smashed to pieces by stones, and the yard was littered with fruit pits, rotten vegetable leaves, and sewage from an unknown thing.

Even the ginkgo tree in the backyard was marked by an axe, and there were only four pillars left in the gazebo.

Seeing this, Xi Yuanxiu walked into the house quickly, looking at the smashed desk, the bookshelves, and the books on the floor, and finally became a little angry.

But Xi Yuanxiu was still trying his best to calm himself, unhurriedly put away the desk, put it outside the door, lifted up the bookshelf and put it away, and put the messed letters on the bed.

Liu Xiao finally couldn't help it at this moment, and while Xi Yuan was tidying up the house, he took a stick, rushed to the street, and scolded loudly: "Grandchildren who dare not be grandchildren, if you have the courage, stand in front of your grandfather, and one of those present counts as one, now stand up for me, don't let me go by myself..."

Just when Liu Xiao was angrily scolding those who were far away, a rotten vegetable stick sticking to the soil flew from a distance and smashed directly at his feet.

Liu Xiao was already angry now, so he lifted the stick in his hand and walked to the crowd, but when he looked at it, he was a seven or eight-year-old girl.

Liu Xiao threw the stick aside, squatted down with difficulty, touched the little girl's face and asked, "Why are you throwing something at me?" ”

The little girl saw the stick that Liu Xiao threw down just now, and said timidly: "Mother said..."

The little girl hesitated for a moment, plucked up the courage and said loudly: "My mother said that you two are bad people, and it is you who make your father unable to make money, and you can't let Ah Niu eat enough!" ”

The little girl, named Ah Niu, was picked up by a red-faced woman behind her and hid behind the crowd.

Liu Xiao was a little disappointed, he lowered his head, but laughed out loud.

"I investigated the case with Brother Xiu, and I am a bad person, so you people make the yamen like this, are you called good people, it seems that he is really right, you people should not be ignored, it is better to fend for yourself!"

Liu Xiao drooped his head, picked up the stick, walked back, and when he entered the door, he looked back at the people who were still talking, and smiled miserably.

......

......

Noon has arrived, and in the non-stop busyness of Xi Yuanxiu and Liu Xiao, they have finally sorted out all the things in the house.

Xi Yuanxiu looked at Liu Xiao, who was still a little depressed, and said slowly: "They are all right, but they are looking for a way to vent in confusion!" ”

Liu Xiao asked puzzledly: "Then they can do these things that violate the rule of law, you also served in Dali Temple before, Jingguo's law, presumably you know better than us people!" ”

Xi Yuanxiu flipped through the book casually and said: "Although Your Majesty is sometimes confused, I still agree with the fact that he changed the rule of force to the rule of law, and the rule of law is the country, but it has only been more than ten years, and the current results are limited, so some things still cannot be done according to the law!" ”

Liu Xiao sneered: "Isn't that useless!" ”

Xi Yuanxiu replied: "It's not useless, but if this matter is handled according to law, do you know what the consequences will be?" ”

Liu Xiao shook his head, although he had been Xi Yuanxiu's personal master for six years, he had never studied these things.

"If it were according to the law, all the people present today would be put to death!"

Liu Xiao was a little shocked when he heard this, he never thought that Jingguo's law was so harsh.

Damaging the things of the official family is undoubtedly a slap in the face of His Majesty the Emperor, and something that insults the royal face should be punished according to the law.

Therefore, some people have also said that Jingguo's law is better said to be the law other than the Li family.

The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and the Li family has never said so.

"If I really listen to you today and arrest all these people who gather to make trouble, as long as this matter spreads, I think Scoop City will be killed alive into a ghost town!"

In the matter of slaughtering the city, the people of the Li family will never be soft, and the eagle dogs of the Li family are more than that.

"But if you can slaughter unarmed people, presumably the generals and soldiers in the army will definitely disobey!"

"Master, if these are counted in the military merits, you must also pick up a butcher's knife."

Liu Xiao said in disbelief: "Those soldiers who are almost regarded as gods in the temple by the people are actually just laymen who are greedy for military merits and political achievements? ”

"Where are there so many saints in the world, most of them are just saints created for the sake of Sheji, Zhao Wei, who is praised as the god of the army by the people at the border, is actually a stammer, if he says it, he must gradually lose his status in the hearts of the people, but these are far away!"

Xi Yuanxiu slowly closed the book and continued: "If there is a massacre of the city, how many people do you think will be willing to let me enter Chang'an!" ”

Liu Xiao suddenly realized that if the city was slaughtered because of Xi Yuanxiu, I am afraid that not only the people of the capital panicked, but also those officials who stood opposite Xi Fang, and even those who participated in the case that year.

Liu Xiao didn't say more, went out of the house, braved the scorching sun, silently cleaned up the yard, and no longer took these things to heart.

Xi Yuanxiu followed the window, looked at the dilapidated courtyard, picked up a piece of stationery, and began to write neatly on it.

It's as if today's events never happened...
