Madam, protect me!

Just when Zhou Yu and others were at a loss, a figure hurried into the county government office. Zhou Yu saw him, as if he saw a savior, and immediately ran forward, grabbed his arm, and said: "Dad, save me!"

He knew the horror of caning. If he was caned ninety times, he would lose half his life.

The middle-aged man who hurried into the county government office glared at him fiercely, ignored him, and shook off his hand, walked to the front of Wang County Lieutenant, and said apologetically: "Sir Wang, I'm really sorry, Zhou is not good at educating his children, and I have caused you trouble. Sir Wang, don't worry about me, just sentence them as you should. I will take them back and punish them severely later!"

Although the Langzhong of Jiabu was a fifth-rank official, equivalent to the magistrate of Chang'an County, he was still very polite when facing the seventh-rank Wang County Magistrate.

Any official in Chang'an who has some information channels knows that the Chang'an County Magistrate is the man of Li Xuanjing, the Minister of the Dali Temple. The status of the officials in the Chang'an County Office has naturally risen, and he, a Langzhong of the Jiabu, cannot afford to offend them.

In the past, Wang Xianwei would have to bow and be careful when facing a Langzhong of the Jiabu of the fifth rank.

But now, behind him stands Lord Li. All his actions represent not only himself, but also Lord Li. He can lose his face, but Lord Li's face must not be damaged.

He held the shelf, nodded to the Langzhong of the Jiabu, waved his hand, and said, "Execute."

The young master had specifically explained it just now, so when the two constables came with the cane, Wang Xianwei reminded them, "Pay attention to the degree."

Caning is a technical job. The same 90 canes can be used to kill people on the spot, or to make the prisoners still alive and kicking after being punished. The old constable can grasp the scale very well.

The young master meant that if these people were given a small punishment, Wang County Lieutenant would certainly not dare to do anything reckless.

These people not only had backgrounds, but were also students of the academy. If they were really beaten to death or disabled, he would not be able to bear the responsibility.

The Langzhong of the Jiabu Department had been an official for many years, and of course he knew some unspoken rules. After hearing the four words "pay attention to the degree", he knew that it should not be the worst possibility, and finally put his mind at ease. He bowed to Wang County Lieutenant and said, "Thank you, Lord Wang."

Wang County Lieutenant also clasped his fists and said, "You're so polite. Come on, bring a chair for Lord Zhou..."

The Langzhong of the Jiabu Department smiled and said, "Thank you..."

Seeing that his father had already made his attitude clear, not only did he not save him, but he also sat there and talked and laughed with Chang'an County Lieutenant, Zhou Yu immediately knew the severity of the matter, and did not dare to say a word, and honestly lay on a bench.

Bang!

A stick fell on his buttocks. Although Zhou Yu grimaced in pain, he could not bear it.

Snap!

At the same time, a bamboo stick also fell on Song Yu's buttocks.

Song Yu was stunned. This time, it was like tickling him, and it didn't hurt at all. Although flogging was originally lighter than caning, it was too light. If it was a little lighter, he wouldn't feel it.

This was definitely not a normal caning.

He was so smart that he soon realized that this was his brother-in-law's special care for him. He was touched and blamed himself more.

After recovering, he began to shout loudly.

"Ah!"

"It hurts!"

"Be gentle!"

The bamboo stick didn't hurt when it fell on his body, but Song Yu still screamed miserably. He couldn't let others think that his brother-in-law was cheating for personal gain.

This exaggerated acting made the two constables who were executing the execution shake their heads. The caning didn't make a sound, but the tickling screamed like a pig being slaughtered. They really wanted to whip him hard with the bamboo sticks in their hands.

Of course, ideas are ideas, but they don't have the courage.

Lord Wang said that this person is the relative of the young master, and they must understand this human relationship.

The executions were carried out simultaneously on both sides, and the speed was very fast. In more than a quarter of an hour, all those who participated in the fight had been punished.

The execution of these officials' children was more symbolic than practical. Those who were flogged could still rub their buttocks with grimace, and those who were caned could still stand in the yard and howl, which was rare in the past.

The doctor of the Jiabu Department bowed to the county lieutenant Wang and apologized: "I'm sorry to trouble you, Lord Wang..."

County lieutenant Wang said politely: "Lord Zhou, you are too kind."

"I will come to thank you in person another day."

"You're so polite..."

The two talked for a while, and the doctor of the Jiabu Department led his two sons away, and the rest of the people also left wailing.

This trip to the county government made them understand a truth.

In the future, if there is a fight, the number of people must be controlled below three, and - never with weapons!

At this moment, what they hate most is not themselves who did not listen to the class carefully at that time.

What they hated the most was the guy selling rolling pins!

Is that guy mentally ill? Can he do business? Why is he selling rolling pins in front of the academy?

At this time, in the back hall of the county government, Li Nuo, who had just picked up the teacup, suddenly paused.

On the legal code floating in front of him, there were two lines of words.

"Name: Li Nuo.

Life span: 109 days."

His life span just now was 94. Even if the 20 officials' children were only the lightest flogging and caning, they also increased his life span by 15 days.

He finally understood why the people of the Legalists liked to make things difficult for officials and dignitaries.

Judging them was really twice the result with half the effort. He increased his life span, while for the Legalists who had already comprehended the power of laws, their cultivation would increase.

With such a huge profit, who wouldn’t be tempted to trade it?

It seems that in the future, we still need to take more care of these dudes...

Through this small trial, he also got a better understanding of the "Code".

Perhaps the Codex will reduce the increase in lifespan because he sells rolling pins, but it will not affect the general direction.

Today's harvest was not small. Li Nuo walked out of the county government office's back hall with joy. As soon as he came to the front yard, a figure trotted up to him.

It was Song Yu who had had some unpleasant experiences with him.

Song Yu held Li Nuo's hand tightly and said apologetically: "Brother-in-law, thank you so much today. It was all my fault in the past. I said some very outrageous things to you. I don't remember the faults of villains. Forgive me..."

Li Nuo was slightly startled.

She sentenced him to death, and he actually thanked him in turn?

This kid, couldn’t he have been whipped into a fool’s state?

He glanced at Song Yu's butt and then at the executioners, knowing that they must be sophisticated. He waved his hand and said to Song Yu: "No need to thank me, I'm just handling the case in accordance with the law..."

Song Yu said with a sincere face: "No, no, no, Zhou doesn't have martial ethics, and he actually brought weapons. If my brother-in-law hadn't arrived in time with his people, we would have suffered a big loss today... My brother-in-law knew that we were going to You are worried about us being at a disadvantage if you fight here, so you led someone to ambush there in advance, right?”

"Um, this..."

"I know, my brother-in-law also arranged for martial arts masters to help me, otherwise, Zhou Yu's stick would have hit me on the head!"

Song Yu looked at Li Nuo with a look that saw through everything: "Brother-in-law, did you originally plan that if we didn't suffer a loss, you would just let it go..."

"..."

Li Nuo finally sighed softly, patted Song Yu on the shoulder, and said: "I still can't hide it from you. I didn't plan to take action in the first place. Who would have thought that Zhou is so ungrateful? By the way, you have just been flogged. It feels okay, I should have asked them to be gentler..."

Song Yu waved his hand and said: "I have to thank my brother-in-law for letting them be merciful. They were already gentle enough, and the flogging didn't feel like anything. It was that damn Zhou Yu who hit me so hard. I got a few sticks on my back. It still hurts now, and that damn rolling pin seller, don’t let me see it next time, let me see it, I have to blow up his stall..."

Li Nuo advised: "Actually, it doesn't have to be like this. It's a small business and it's not easy."

Song Yu hesitated for a moment, but finally waved his hand and said magnanimously: "Since my brother-in-law said so, let him go..."
