What surprised Liu Quan was that she had been looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally her husband was back.

But see.

A carriage slowly drove up at the end of the village. After parking, an elegant scholar stepped out of the carriage. Who could he be if he wasn't Qi Dalang?

Qi Yu got out of the car and looked far into the distance, and at a glance he saw the lingering smoke on the mess.

Devastated!

In the end what happened?

"ah!!"

Qi Yu was horrified and ran over.

The Qi family members looked at each other and sighed to themselves: Qi Dalang came back at the right time!



At this time, Qi Yu was in a state of confusion, with no color on his face, and his thoughts were at a loss. It wasn't until he saw that the whole family, old and young, were all safe and sound that his surging heart rate slowed down.

ecstasy!

You know, the lady is pregnant now. If something goes wrong, wouldn't it cost her her life?

Seeing her husband appear, Liu Quan couldn't hold back her tears anymore, and they fell softly: "You are finally back."

These few words revealed endless grievances. Qi Yu walked over to her and wiped away her tears, softly comforting her: "Don't be afraid, madam, I'm in charge of everything, even if the sky falls!"

"Um……"

It’s warm, and it feels so solid to lean on my husband’s shoulder!

I feel like I have a backbone.

Qi Yu asked softly: "What happened?"

"Don't worry, listen to me first..."

Liu Quan stopped crying and glanced at the Qi family members hatefully before telling her husband the whole story.

Finally, she also emphasized the attitude of the Ichiban people.

Although Qi Yu listened quietly, his mood was full of twists and turns, first from surprise to horror, then to a sense of joy for surviving the disaster, and finally, only anger remained!

"What a bastard!"

"Do not impulse……"

Yes, hold on steady first!

You need to be rational, and you must not let anger get to your head.

Qi Yu forced himself to calm down, comforted his old mother, and coaxed his little daughter. After doing this, he stepped forward resolutely and looked at the clansmen in front of him indifferently.

Are these people my relatives?

They are of the same blood, and the current blood relationship is still there, but they are so heartless and meaningless?

Needless to say, Qi Qiuchuan was full of sins and his heart was worse than that of an abalone. But the most disappointing and sad thing is these tribesmen who stay out of the matter. Not only do they have no intention of upholding justice, but they also follow the trend of evil and help others.

Haha, what a relative!

If it was just a small friction, it would be fine, but this time it was different. It cost the lives of my whole family!

Home! It is the absolute bottom line and the absolute opposite.

This matter must be settled!

snort! I, Qi Yu, am no longer the Amon I used to be. How can I be manipulated by you at will?

"Everyone, are you okay?"

Surprisingly, Qi Yu actually smiled!

Could it be that Qi Dalang is not angry? Or does it mean to reduce big things to small things?

Or maybe you got scared after seeing too many people?

"Ahem! We're okay, okay. By the way, Ah Ma, did you pass this exam?" The clan leader took the lead in taking over the conversation and tried to avoid the most important issues.

"What do you think?"

Qi Yu deliberately made things difficult for people to understand.

Without waiting for the clan leader to answer, Qi Qiuchuan chuckled and said: "How can it be so easy to be a scholar? Even an old scholar like Master Yan has passed the exam in three subjects! As for Ah Ma, this time it's just to accumulate experience."

The meaning is obvious.

Qi Yu sneered: "I didn't expect my second uncle to be a smart man!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Qiuchuan became even more confident, puffed up his chest and said, "Of course!"

Qi Yu laughed twice, then returned to the topic and said, "Second Uncle Qi, how do you explain the arson?"

"What can I explain? It's really inexplicable!" Qi Qiuchuan glanced sideways and snorted.

"But that bald man was under your command. What do you think?"

"What's the argument? He's just slandering me. How could I do that?"

Qi Yu smiled and said, "That's fine! As for the actual situation, let's leave it to the Yamen to investigate!"

Qi Qiuchuan was stunned and said, "You still want to report to the official?"

Qi Yu said coldly: "What else?"

"No! No!" Qi Qiuchuan pointed at the clan members and said: "If I report it to the official, wouldn't I become a suspect? Wouldn't it mean that outsiders will see our Qi family's joke? I am nothing, but I am embarrassed. The face of the entire family! So this matter must not be brought to the public. Haha... Either way, if you have any difficulties, I will just wait and help."

It's too hard and you want to change it to a soft one?

It won’t work this time!

Qi Yu looked disdainful and said with a sneer: "The pure will be pure by themselves, and the turbid will be turbid by themselves. The yamen will decide what is right and wrong! Talking about shame is even more nonsense! You must know that face is given by others, not by yourself. If you disrespect your elders and do all kinds of bad things, will you still have the face?"

"How...how do you talk?"

"Hmph! Let me tell you, this matter will never end! If you dare to kill my family, I will kill them out of justice!"

"Kill your relatives? You are a villain who forgets your ancestors..."

Qi Yu's expression turned stern and he said fiercely: "Bah! Who do you think you are! Are you going to tell me what to do?"

"you!……"

Finally, there was a complete stalemate.

Qi Qiuchuan's four sons were unhappy when they heard the curse. When had their family ever been treated with such contempt?

They walked out with their arms folded and their chins pursed.

Is this...wanting to be violent?

Upon seeing this, Liu Quan picked up his sword and walked to the front. Then he pointed the tip of the sword at the tip of their noses and said, "If any of you dare to touch my husband, I will stab him to death with one knife!"



Everyone trembled!

This woman doesn't just talk, she's the kind of person who really dares to take action!

How long does it take for the blood stains on the knife to dry?

Qi Qiuchuan was embarrassed and swallowed with difficulty. He never expected that his four sons, who were like calves, would actually be afraid of a woman!

They can neither advance nor retreat, they are frozen there.

Qi Yu laughed heartily, took out the official's letter, and said proudly: "You all have seen clearly! I am a scholar now, and even the prefect can't torture me, how dare you guys touch me?"

Everyone knows that scholars have the privilege of being exempted from whipping at the state level and below. What will happen if ordinary people use violence against scholars?

No doubt, that will be punished!

A scholar is a scholar!

Liu Quan cried with joy, wiping her tears and holding her head high, looking proud and proud.

Qi Qiuchuan and his son, who looked domineering just now, immediately shrank like a row of roasted quails after hearing this. Their faces were red, their necks were thick, and their backs were stooped.

How did that happen?

The Qi family members were also very uncomfortable. They all had pig liver faces, and they all sighed in their hearts: I would rather bully a white-bearded man than a poor young man!

Yes, now it’s on the iron plate!

Normally, if a scholar can come out of the clan, everyone would be honored, but what about now?

The clan leader Weiran sighed and said: "Ah Hao, you are now a person with status. Do you think we can make this matter a trivial matter and not report it to the official?"

"No!" Qi Yu replied firmly.

"Is there really no room for maneuver?"

"No!"

The patriarch sighed after hearing this and stopped talking.

Qi Qiuchuan finally realized that something was wrong. Thinking about it, it was an advantage for a scholar to sue an official. In addition, Qi Yu was close to the county magistrate, so he might be in trouble.

Trouble!

Grandma, it’s all this bald guy’s fault. Wouldn’t it be okay if you run faster?

Qi Qiuchuan thought for a moment, smiled kindly, and said, "Ah Man, let's do this. I'll pay you to rebuild your ancestral home, but you can't sue the government, how about that?"

"Can't I build it myself? Why do I have to rely on you?" Qi Yu sneered.

"If you don't listen to good advice, in the future... there will be no one like you in the clan!" Qi Qiuchuan said with profound meaning.

Is this... expelling me from my ancestral home?

hehe……

Removing one's citizenship may be very stressful for others, but for me, Qi Yu, it really doesn't matter.

If you were really buried in the ancestral grave after your death, you would be afraid of being beaten by the group of old people below.

"No problem!" Qi Yu answered simply and without thinking.

"you……"

Qi Qiuchuan was shocked. He never expected that Qi Ah Man would agree without even thinking.

You know, not entering the ancestral grave is a shame, especially for scholars who value reputation.

Even so, you still have to find a way to suppress him. If you really meet the official, you will be in trouble. So, he winked at his sons.

"You don't understand the truth. I'm very disappointed!"

After the fourth son of the Qi family got the hint, they showed their fierce looks and seemed ready to use violence.

Qi Yu has already made up his mind that he would rather break than bend. He is a talented scholar who can be killed and never humiliated!

At this moment, a loud roar suddenly came...

"Stop! Let's see who dares to move!"

Looking along, I saw Uncle Zhou coming over. Yes, after the fire broke out, Li Zheng immediately reported it to the county government.

Behind him were several aggressive government officials.

In addition, there were uncle Zhou who didn't even have time to take off his apron, and his father-in-law Liu Shouye.

They respectively represent the power of the Zhou family and Liu Quan's natal family. Except for Sun Dacai, everyone who is supposed to be there has arrived.

Are there any government officials following you? Could it be that Master Yu acquiesced to this?

It seems that those paintings were not given away for free. Isn’t this the return of favor?

Zhou Dashui had been a robber when he was young, and his aura was still as strong as before. His eyes widened and he was frightening: "Hey! I've turned against you! Are you tired of bullying my sister's family?"

Zhou Dazhuang also echoed: "Me too!"



Qi Qiuchuan was completely panicked. These people were difficult to deal with, let alone the government officials.

As for the members of the Qi family, they are even more cowardly now. Those who know the current affairs are heroes, and it is not their own family's business, so there is no need to be harsh.

You know, what the government officials are best at is using a killing stick to convince people with reason. Shopkeeper Qian is a lesson learned from the past!

Lao Qian, who was peeking in the dark, suddenly sneezed: Who...have I provoked whom?



When Uncle Zhou saw that the situation was stable, he pretended to be a threat and said: "My nephew is a scholar, so he is too lazy to argue with you because of his status. However, I, the uncle, want to uphold justice!"

The government officials also cooperated very well and immediately made their presence felt. They did not say a word, but just pecked the ground with their killing sticks...

Qi Yu felt warm in his heart and had a smile on his face.



But, how should this matter be handled?

So, the yamen servant cast an inquiring look at Uncle Zhou Zhou. The latter responded by clenching his fist.

Understood……

The yamen clerk directly showed his official authority and said solemnly: "This bald man set fire to his house and was caught. He was taken directly back to the yamen and interrogated severely to see if he can pry out anything else!"

"yes!"

"As for Qi Qiuchuan and his son, they will also be taken back to the Yamen, and then handed over to Mr. Yu for trial and judgment! ... I almost forgot that the evil woman Bao will also be taken away together."

"yes!"

These words were like a gust of cold wind, making Qi Qiuchuan and his son tremble all over. Mrs. Bao even rolled on the ground and said that if anyone dared to force her, she would hang herself to death!

"Hang yourself? Of course you can! The hemp rope has been prepared for you in the prison!" The yamen servant looked contemptuous and said, "Why are you still standing there? Do it quickly!"

"yes!"

After a while of commotion, calm slowly returned.

Qi Qiuchuan's family all left under the strong force of the government officials.
