"ah"
Fan Kuai let out a roar from his throat filled with filth, and used his thick and long arms to exert force again. He got up from the ground with a twisted face, staggered two steps, and looked at Cao Yi as if he were looking at a dead person.
This was the first time in his life that he had been beaten so badly. Without skinning the other party alive, it would be difficult to eliminate the hatred in his heart.
"Fan Kuai, what happened? Why are you in such a mess? Who beat you?"
A middle-aged man about forty years old with a mustache and a sloppy look happened to walk in. When he saw the scene in front of him, he showed a surprised expression.
Cao Yi heard the sound and looked over.
This look? Isn’t he Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty who was darkened by the TV series?
As expected, he came to eat dog meat just like in the original plot.
Fan Kuai pointed at Cao Yi with a thick finger, and said through his teeth: "This is the man."
Liu Bang looked up and down at Cao Yi and the people behind Cao Yi, and found that he didn't recognize any of them. He was relieved and said with a solemn expression: "How dare you commit crimes in the county. This pavilion chief saw them today, and every one of them counts." , send them all to court, Fan Kuai, you watch them, I will come back as soon as I can."
As soon as Liu Bang turned around, he was stopped by Fan Kuai.
"Wait a minute"
Liu Bang turned around again and looked at Fan Kuai in confusion.
"Inform brother Wang Ling first, and then report to the official."
Fan Kuai had a cruel smile on his face.
At this time, if you report to the official, you will be punished by torture at most and shaving off the other party's sideburns and beard. It is too cheap.
"Is this what you want?"
Liu Bang looked at Fan Kuai in surprise.
"Um"
Fan Kuai nodded vigorously.
Liu Bang sighed, turned and left.
"You want to kill us?"
Cao Yi, who had been watching, said.
"None of you can even think of leaving Peixian alive."
Fan Kuai said, picking up the meat cleaver that he had just dropped from the ground and retreating to the door.
After the previous fight, he had already seen how powerful Cao Yi was, and he didn't want to capsize in the gutter.
"Aren't you afraid of offending Qin's law by killing us?"
Cao Yi said calmly.
"Qin Fa, scoff, is this your first day out?"
Fan Kuai had a mocking smile on his face.
"Let me guess, why are you so confident?" Cao Yi pondered for a while and said: "Your eldest brother, the Ranger Wang Ling, is a local tycoon. He can respond to everything at once. He has mastered black and wealth, which can also be said to be people and wealth."
Fan Kuai looked at Cao Yi and said nothing, but the pride flashing in his eyes betrayed him.
"Those who control people and money, whether it is to gain momentum or to save their lives, will get entangled with Quan and help them do some shady things, so you still have Quan behind you, such as Xiao He, the chief official in charge of official promotion. , such as Cao Shen, the warden in charge of the prison, and other people."
Cao Yi continued, as if he was stating something that had nothing to do with him.
Fan Kuai had no expression on his face, acquiescing to Cao Yi's words.
"You have people who are rich and powerful. When the people from the Royal Tomb come, they can directly surround and kill us. Afterwards, we will report to the officials and punish us for being a thief. We can also receive rewards, right?"
Cao Yi looked at Fan Kuai and asked.
"You're not stupid, but it's a pity that you understood it too late."
Fan Kuai took a few steps back and said with a hideous smile.
"Oh, man"
Cao Yi sighed.
No matter how strict the laws are, they are ultimately enforced by people. For forces like this network that connects people, money, and power, the law is just a toy in their hands.
Yi Xiaochuan on the side endured the pain and said: "Many diners have seen and heard what happened just now, and they are outside now."
At this moment, a burst of noise came from outside.
Needless to say, Liu Bang brought people here.
Fan Kuai, who had retreated to the door at some point, pulled down the curtain blocking the door.
In the distance, hundreds of people, led by Liu Bang, came with murderous intent.
There were about twenty people standing at the door, including diners and people passing by to watch the fun.
Seeing the help coming, Fan Kuai suddenly became more courageous and glanced at everyone with cold eyes: "Which one of you wants to expose me?"
Mingzhi followed Qin law and it was a crime to conceal something like this and not report it. A group of onlookers still lowered their heads.
"How could you do this?"
Yi Xiaochuan endured the pain and shouted.
Fan Kuai walked up to one of the onlookers who had lost weight, leaned closer and said, "Answer him."
The onlookers trembled, raised their heads in horror and said, "I, I didn't see anything."
Fan Kuai shook his head, slapped the onlookers on the shoulders, and said in a calm voice: "I can't hear you."
"I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything..."
The onlookers were frightened and immediately shouted.
Fan Kuai glanced at everyone and said with a stern look, "What about you?"
"None of us saw it"
"We don't know anything"
"I came out to drink and happened to pass by here."
…
More than twenty trembling voices sounded at the same time.
Fan Kuai shook his head again, turned around and pointed at the store, saying, "No, you should say they are thieves."
There are many people who can't bear it. Once they become thieves, it's over.
"explain"
Fan Kuai's voice suddenly rose several times higher, filled with murderous intent.
"They are thieves"
"thief"
"I saw them killing people"
…
Less than half spoke.
Fan Kuai walked up to one of the silent onlookers. Before he could speak, the man shouted: "They are thieves."
The rest of the people also shouted.
"They are thieves"
"They are thieves"
"They are thieves"
…
The sound shook the whole street, but no one came out to check. As if it was agreed upon, every household closed its doors and windows.
"You, you..."
Yi Xiaochuan looked sad and angry.
How can these people be so indifferent to right from wrong?
Why are there laws not followed.
When he was in modern times, when he saw the Qin law, he thought it was very awesome and everyone was afraid of it. Whether they were officials or people, they all abided by it.
Why is it that what you see with your own eyes is completely different?
"do not talk"
Cao Yi walked to Yi Xiaochuan and gave him a healing charm to suppress the wound.
"well"
Yi Xiaochuan sighed.
Cao Yi looked at Fan Kuai, shook his head and said, "For money, to help the government get enough thieves to complete the construction of the Great Wall and Lishan Tomb, your eldest brother Wang Ling does this kind of thing a lot, right?"
"So what?"
Fan Kuai was already confident.
"Okay, I have one more question."
Cao Yi said.
"This is the last question. After you answer it, you can die."
Fan Kuai said coldly.
"Where is the county magistrate? Isn't the county magistrate also one of your people?"
Cao Yi asked.
"County magistrate, the first thing the county magistrate did when he came to Pei County was to visit Brother Wang Ling and a group of powerful people. Do you think he could have lived for so long without Brother Wang Ling and the powerful people helping him complete the various tasks above? He was killed by those officials who only recognized the emperor’s orders and only followed the laws.”
Fan Kuai's tone became even more disdainful.
Cao Yi nodded and said: "I'm done asking, let's do it."
