A kitchen knife that flashed with cold light was thrown on the ground, making a "ding" sound, the kitchen knife was big and sharp, and the handle was still a little greasy, and it looked like a kitchen knife commonly used at home.

Lu Li stood with his hands in his hands and looked at the other party coldly, "How can this be explained?" ”

"It's... This... It's not ours! The man at the head yelled hard, the more weak his heart was, the more he roared, as if he could use this to add some self-confidence to himself, and made the spectators laugh for no reason.

Ma Yu on the side stared at these little gangsters, thinking secretly in his heart.

After all, it is Donglan's Zhenguo Gong who came to report the case, and now Donglan and Canglan are on good terms, Donglan's Zhenguo Duchess was named the county lord by Canglan, and she was ordered by the king to do things.

Moreover, these thugs are really hateful, they dare to fight the idea of Zhen Guogong, and they also want to kill the wild animals that the king ordered to raise, if this news reaches the ears of the king, I am afraid that these lawless thugs will be directly executed.

Therefore, Ma Yugao shouted: "Since this kitchen knife is not yours, then tell me, whose kitchen knife is it?" What are you going to do in the garden outside the town's house? Say! ”

As soon as Fu Yin's threat came out, the man was immediately shocked, and the people next to him also cried in fear, the fear in his heart and the wail in his ears, the leader couldn't think of any other excuse after racking his brains, so he had to stumble, and said while thinking: "I... We ......"

"What are you?!" Ma Yu stepped forward, glared at the other party and shouted: "This official sees that you are lawless!" Disrespectful to the king! ”

"Nope! We don't! The man knew that as long as he was charged with disrespecting the king, the consequences would not only be a matter of getting a beating.

Ma Yu didn't have the heart to listen to their arguments anymore, so he raised his hand: "Come on, bring these little gangsters to the court, I will have a good trial today!" Find out what they're up to! ”

"Yes!"

Seeing that a few gangsters were taken away by the official mission, Ma Yu turned around, bowed slightly to Lu Li, and said apologetically: "Zhen Guogong, I have frightened you, I will definitely try these people well, so that they can spit out the truth, and I will definitely give you justice at that time." ”

Hearing this, Lu Li nodded and asked, "I wonder what Lord Fu Yin will do if they admit their crimes?" ”

Speaking of which, these people are indeed hateful, but they have not reached the point of unforgivable sin, and it is too light to beat only eighty boards, and these people will not be taught a lesson at all, but will become worse; But if it were to be executed or exiled, it would be too heavy, and it would inevitably arouse the indignation of the villagers.

Therefore, Lu Li specially asked such a sentence to know Fu Yin's thoughts.

But the other party didn't know the purpose of Lu Li's question, so he couldn't help but hesitate, he looked at Lu Li's face, and said cautiously: "According to the meaning of Grandpa Guo, what do you want to do?" ”

"I'm from Donglan, and I'm not familiar with the laws of Canglan, so please let Lord Fu Yin make his own decision on this matter." Lu Li said indifferently, without the slightest superfluous expression on his face, and did not give the other party a chance to peek into his true thoughts at all.

Since he had already reminded the other party that he had come according to the law of Canglan, it was absolutely impossible to reveal the slightest expression and movement that would misunderstand the other party, otherwise it would only cause trouble.

For a while, Fu Yin hesitated, muttering that he never gave a definite answer. Until the official messenger who had already chained up a group of gangsters and tied them up to the public court came to inquire, Nafu Yin could not give a way to execute them.

Seeing this, Lu Li was a little impatient, so he had to suppress his anger and remind: "Lord Fu Yin, I'm still very busy and don't want to participate in the trial, so please tell me directly how you want to execute, is it okay?" ”

"This... What ...... this" Fu Yin Ma Yu scratched his hair anxiously, and said carefully: "According to the law of Canglan, they are an attempted crime and should be imprisoned for ten months, but this time they are bold enough to disturb the town of Guogong, so they have to add a clause to destroy the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and they have to add a few years, and——"

"Lord Fu Yin." Lu Li interrupted the other party and said bluntly: "I didn't want their lives, but I didn't want them to go back safe and sound, although I was helping the king do things, they didn't cause substantial harm after all." Therefore, adults only need to teach them a lesson, and it is best to use this to make an example to those who have bad intentions to give up their thoughts. ”

Hearing this, Fu Yin hurriedly gave a big salute to Lu Li, "Thank you Zhen Guogong for reminding me, it's better for Xia Guan to directly beat these little gangsters and then close them for a year and a half, can Zhen Guogong still be satisfied?" ”

Lu Li nodded, "Don't let people escape from prison casually." ”

After speaking, he arched his hand at Fu Yin, turned around and walked away in style.

When this group of thugs came out, he and Xiao Man would probably have gone back to Donglan a long time ago, Lu Li, who was riding in the direction of the county lord's mansion, thought to himself.

Back in the house, handed over the horse to the little maid and took it away, Lu Li entered the backyard with a familiar car, and walked to the study where Xiao Man was always there.

"Knock knock—"

Xiao Man, who was worried about these embroidery girls in the study, heard a knock on the door, rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, and asked weakly, "Who?" ”

"Guess." Lu Li responded with a smile.

Lu Li, who thought Xiao Man could guess, stood at the door confidently, deliberately not saying his name.

But he didn't think about it, Xiao Man was anxious and depressed at this time, and he didn't take the initiative to say his name, Xiao Man's anger rose, and he took this opportunity to squirt out, and said impatiently: "If you have something, just say something, guess what for no reason!" If it's okay, leave quickly, I don't have time to play hide and seek with you! ”

Lu Lideng, who was standing outside the door, was stunned, his brain was blank, and he reacted after a long time and pushed the door in. He didn't know what to say, so he didn't say anything, just stood in front of the desk, quietly looking at the other party.

Xiao Man, who was holding her chin, felt that there was an extra person in front of her, but she didn't make a sound, her anger couldn't help but rise again, but when she just raised her head and was about to teach the other party a lesson, she suddenly found that it was Lu Li who was standing in front of her.

Xiao Mandeng, who was full of anger, opened his mouth wide and looked surprised, "Lu... Lu Li...... You, how did you get back? ”

"What happened just now, who are you angry with?" Lu Li casually closed the door, walked to the chair on the side and sat down, and asked.

Xiao Man breathed a long sigh of relief, and said helplessly: "It's nothing, some messy things, I don't know how to arrange it, I'm just annoyed." ”

As she spoke, she leaned closer to Lu Li, bit her lower lip and looked at the other party carefully, and said with some embarrassment: "I didn't say those words to you just now, don't take it to heart, I didn't know that it was you standing outside the door, I was wrong......"

Listening to the other party's voice getting smaller and smaller, Lu Li raised his lips and smiled, looked into the other party's eyes and smiled gently: "I know, you are not that kind of person." I was joking with you just now, but I didn't expect you to be bothered by trivial matters, it's my fault. ”

As he spoke, he took Xiao Man's hand and sat aside, leaned in and asked, "Why are you worried?" ”

"The embroidery girl from Shangjing now lives in the backyard." Xiao Manchang sighed, drooped his head, and his tone was full of remorse: "They have been here for several days, but the things on my side are not finished yet, and I can't arrange them for a while, so I can only let them wait, this morning, there are already people who want to leave......"

Xu felt that he had been here for a while, but he had not arranged a job to do, nor had he been paid, and he was not familiar with the place, and the weather was dry and cold, so he missed his hometown more and more, and wanted to go back.

Lu Li nodded when he heard this, and said thoughtfully: "In my opinion, you shouldn't be able to help them arrange it during this time, so just say it bluntly, so you can let them choose for themselves." ”

"I think so too, but even if I do, if someone chooses to leave, then someone will definitely choose to stay here." Speaking of this, Xiao Man sighed again, bit his lip and raised his head to look at Lu Li, a little helpless: "What about the people who stay?" How do I arrange for them? ”

They are all good embroiderers, and it would be a pity to put them in the house so dryly.

Before, Wang Youhe was asked to go to Bei'an City to post notices to recruit some people who wanted to learn embroidery, but the strange thing was that no one responded to so many notices. Xiaoman, who learned of this situation, had no choice but to lower his requirements, but unexpectedly, no one came to sign up.

Now, not only are the dozen or so embroidery girls missing, but even Wang Youhe is becoming more and more idle, clamoring all day long to ask Xiaoman to find her a job to do.

"Do you have any ideas?" Speaking of this problem, Lu Li also frowned, unable to think of how to solve it in a short time.

Xiao Man shook his head, very frustrated: "No." ”

After being silent for a long time, Xiao Manhu raised his head, and just when Lu Li thought she had a way, Xiao Manhu asked, "I went to see you yesterday, didn't you say that it would take a few days to come back?" Why did you come early this morning? ”

Speaking of this, Lu Li was also a little helpless, so he had to tell Xiaoman what happened yesterday as it was. But in order not to worry the other party, Lu Li specially concealed the real reason why those thugs provoked him, and covered up the past on the grounds that the other party was not used to living in their village.

"This group of people is too hateful!" Xiao Man was very angry, "We were kind enough to help them, but they treated you like this!" Fortunately, there are dark guards who detect their movements in time, so that their efforts are not in vain, but what if there are no secret guards? Won't it let them succeed? ”

"Okay, isn't that now the matter settled? They have been imprisoned, and there is no way to come out and make waves in the short term. Lu Li was relieved.

Xiao Man got up, still angry, "How can I just be detained for a few days, I must tell the king about this matter!" ”
