In the evening, after dinner, Qiao Xuan sat in the courtyard to cool off.

"Do you really want to go to Tao Bai's house to search?"

Xi He walked over and sat on the low stool next to her and asked, Xi Yan had already told him about what happened during the day when he was cooking.

Qiao Xuan took a sip of water and said with a smile: "Even if the thing can't be found, you have to scare and scare him, knock and knock so that he doesn't dare to steal things in the future." ”

"Brother, didn't you see it, that Tao Bai was almost drowned by everyone's spit stars today, his face turned white, he was really relieved to look at it, let him steal my things, he really deserved it!"

Xi Yan's eyebrows fluttered and said, "When I was working this afternoon, everyone ignored him, and sure enough, the wicked have to let the wicked be cured, hahaha." ”

"Indeed, let them create a gap between them, and when the time comes, Xiao Xuan will be able to control them better, and they will not dare to bully people again."

Xi He gave Qiao Xuan an appreciative look.

Qiao Xuan was a little embarrassed to look at it, scratched his head and changed the topic, "I don't know what happened to that dog official in the county?" ”

"I'll go to town tomorrow and inquire then."

Xi He said that he had been here with Qiao Xuan for a while, and there were still some things that needed to be done in the town.

"Village chief, village chief."

A large group of people came from outside the courtyard, all of whom came to call Qiao Xuan to go to Tao Bai's house to search for things.

"Let's go!"

Qiao Xuan got up and raised his chin to Xi He and Xi Yan.

Some people held torches in their hands to illuminate the village road, and everyone arrived at the door of Tao Bai's house in a hurry.

The door of Tao Bai's house was closed, and the house was pitch black, as if no one was there.

"The Tao family get out! Don't pretend, we know you're in there. ”

Someone shouted.

"Open the door! If you don't open the door, we'll tear down your door. ”

Qiao Xuan and Xi He stood in the crowd and didn't speak, letting others play.

After scolding for a while, there was still no sound inside, and some people began to doubt, "Their family can't run away overnight, right?" ”

"Fart! If you can run, the monks can't run the temple, they must be inside. ”

A villager who slammed the door turned his head and cursed.

"Okay, don't smash it, climb the wall and get in, I brought a ladder over" The tools are very complete.

A ladder was set up against the wall, and three strong, agile men went up to the courtyard wall.

With a "creak", the courtyard door was opened from the inside by the three people who entered, and the small courtyard of the Tao family suddenly became as bright as day.

"Woo, Dad, I'm scared!"

The cry of a child rang out in the darkness of the backyard.

"Okay, bear with them and leave, you're going to quarrel with Lao Tzu and whip you!"

Tao Bai scolded rudely in a low voice, and the next moment the top of his head was illuminated.

"Hiding in the cellar? Laughing to death, you can really hide, who doesn't have a cellar yet, you are the most clever. ”

"I just shouted at you outside, you're deaf! Hurry up, come out! ”

After a period of noise, Tao Bai's family was pushed and shoved and brought to the front yard.

"I've found my car," someone exclaimed.

"Tao Bai, you have exhausted my vegetable field, and I will go to your house now" The woman carrying the basket obviously came prepared, and walked towards Tao Bai's vegetable field with the basket in her familiar way.

A group of people first sneered at Tao Bai for a few words, and then went to all corners purposefully, they did not fight or grab, each took what they wanted, and no one interfered with anyone.

Tao Bai's daughter-in-law Wang Pan cried anxiously, and kept shouting: "That's our family, don't take our things!" ”

"I won't allow it! Put it down, woo woo. ”

"Woo woo, I'm not alive anymore, and there is no heavenly reason."

Qiao Xuan looked at it coldly, only if the lesson he gave was deep enough could he keep it in mind.

Tao Bai was tied to his hands, and there was no way to protect his family's things.

Although many of those things were brought by him from others, he had long regarded them as his own after using them for a long time, and now he was heartbroken when he saw others take them back.

"Village Chief Qiao, let them stop!"

He rushed to stand still in front of Qiao Xuan, and for the first time he was afraid of Qiao Xuan.

Qiao Xuan turned his head sideways and did not say anything.

Tao Bai took a deep breath and knelt down, "I was wrong, I was really wrong!" Village Chief, I will never dare again. ”

"Don't steal again?"

Qiao Xuan gave him a look.

Tao Bai nodded again and again, "If you don't steal it again, if you steal it again, you will cut off my hand." ”

If you steal it, you have to be called back to the door! What else to steal, he muttered to himself.

Qiao Xuan rubbed his nose, his voice was indifferent and cold, "Remember what you said!" ”

After finishing speaking, she looked at the busy villagers, "Don't take anything that is not your own house, otherwise everyone's behavior of taking back their own things tonight will become a burglary." ”

"Burglary is also a felony in the laws of our court, and you have to cut off your hands and feet," Xi He's voice sounded, "If you don't want to suffer, be smarter." ”

Silently, some people who originally wanted to take advantage swallowed their saliva and reluctantly put some things back.

It's not worth breaking your hands and feet for a little cheap!

Judging from Qiao Xuan's report that Lin Qi and the others were taken away, she was really ruthless enough to make everyone bear the crime of burglary, they couldn't take this risk.

The villagers who had finished sweeping came over to confront Tao Bai according to Qiao Xuan's wishes, and as for those who had run out of things, they were discussing the loss of money.

In one night, Tao Bai's family became poorer and poorer, but the others were very satisfied, and they were very happy, and they even looked at Qiao Xuan a little pleasing to the eye.

Tao Bai's family cried all night, and when Tao Bai went to work the next day, his eyes were swollen like walnuts.

He regretted it to death in his heart, he shouldn't have provoked Qiao Xuan, who was like a madman, yesterday, and fanned the flames to rob his home.

The other few people in the village who were not clean with their hands and feet did not dare to get in front of everyone anyway, lest they be looted, and if they stole it, they would have to be robbed back, and they would lose their faces, and they would not be able to get things, which was not cost-effective.

After Qiao Xuan went home, it was already the second half of the night when he handed over Huang Cuixuan to the ghost.
