Chapter 584: Were you raised by your family?

day yet, why did you come all this way The road must have been bumpy!"Jiarren hugged his younger sister and gave her a big kiss, which made Jiayin laugh gleefully.Little Brother Li hugged Grandma's ar..."Then who instigated you!" Li Laosan pulled Huang San'er, not giving him a chance to organize a lie.

Huang San'er hesitated for a moment, then Li Laosan slapped him.

Huang San'er cried out in pain. He also wanted to find someone to take the blame, but it was impossible.

Once confronted, lies are easily exposed...

After all, people usually complain about Li Lao San and the school cafeteria when they hang out together. But it was his own idea to do something bad!

Li Laosi was also furious. Tonight, it was a coincidence that Mao Ge'er got up at night, and it happened that he was here, and with Xiao Hu Li's help, they were able to catch this scoundrel.

Otherwise, if elder brother and sister-in-law woke up to a yard full of dead cats and dogs, even if they were disgusted and angry, they wouldn't be able to catch the person. Perhaps this person would continue to take advantage of the Li family and continue doing such bad things behind their backs!

"That's enough, Third Brother, tie him up. We'll report to the authorities at daybreak. Let him tell the officials everything himself!" Li Lao Si was impatient with Huang San'er's pleas and directly suggested taking him to the authorities.

Huang San'er was terrified, pleading for his life with a strangled voice.

Li Laosan, however, was filled with rage. He snatched the tattered clothes, reeking of dead cats and dogs, and stuffed them into the man's mouth.

Huang San'er regretted going crazy. This garment was just something he grabbed from the yard of a neighbor, and now it was soaked with bloodstains from cats and dogs, smelling strongly of blood.

He was stuffed until he felt sick, wanting to vomit but unable to. It was truly agonizing and overwhelming.

Li Laosan opened a vacant room and threw Huang San into it, then locked the door.

The things in the courtyard can't be moved yet, I have to let the officials take a look tomorrow morning.

Everyone tossed and turned, unable to sleep. When dawn broke, Li Lao San was gone.

Li Lao Si didn't go along. Firstly, he had to stay home. Secondly, he was also worried about his nephew.

Meow-meow seemed to be scared, hadn't slept well, and was a little listless. There were two dark circles under his eyes.

Jiārén felt sorry for him, carrying Māo gē'er on his back and leading Lǐ gē'er back to the academy.

Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru were afraid that there wouldn't be enough staff at the cafeteria, so they hurried over to help. As soon as they finished, they ran back home.

By this time, the officers had arrived.

Luo An was ten miles away from the new capital, it was impossible to set up a government office there.

Since there was no official government office, with so many people in town and a school, it didn't feel very safe. So he rented a storefront, placed two guards, who sat inside drinking tea every day, as a deterrent to petty criminals.

Originally, the whole town considered these two constables as nothing more than decorations. Unexpectedly, they actually proved useful today.

Two guards were also taken aback by the sudden arrival of the task, even a little apprehensive.

After all, Li Lao San was a prominent figure in Luo'an Town. The Li family was also a newly rich family in Xindu.

Two guards followed Li Lao San as they hurried to the small courtyard, attracting quite a crowd of onlookers along the way.

At the sight of those disgusting things in Li's courtyard, everyone couldn't help but cover their noses and whisper amongst themselves.

“Who is this, so despicable.”

"Yeah, is there anything that can't be said properly, why use such underhanded tactics, too much of a jerk!"

"The world is in decline, and people's morals have deteriorated."

"This is definitely an offense!"

Li Laosi, in front of the two guards, pulled Huang San'er out of the house and threw him into the courtyard.

Everyone was surprised. They didn't expect the Li family to have already caught the culprit.

Two guards glanced at each other, then ripped the tattered shirt off Huang San'er's mouth. They wanted to ask him a few questions, but Huang San'er, after pondering all night, still felt he couldn't admit to this mistake.

Then, he retched a few times and started spinning a tale, “My lord, save me! The Li family wants to kill me! I was sleeping at home last night, and I don’t know what happened. They knocked me unconscious and brought me here. My lord, save me!”

The two officers kicked him a few times. No matter how they asked, he only said these few words.

The two officials were also helpless. They did believe Li Laosan, after all, who would want to falsely accuse others It's not that cruel to harm their own family.

Currently, there is no witness testimony or physical evidence. It's difficult to convict someone without either.

At this time, Li Lao Si took out his waist card.

Two officers, seeing that he was a fourth-rank general, immediately bowed and became much more polite in their speech.

Li Lao Si found a small fox from his daughter and, carrying Huang Lao San, led everyone out.

Huang Laosan wasn't stupid. He didn't cut up the cats and dogs at his own home, but chose a small grove of trees behind the town.

But he was greedy. At that time, he happened to catch a rabbit. So he skinned it and threw the entrails and bones together with the cat and dog into Li's yard. The rabbit meat, however, was in his house kitchen in an earthenware basin…

Now, he had no room to argue.

Two officers gave him a taste of "action education," and finally he confessed the truth.

It turned out his mother back home wasn't actually sick; he was just addicted to gambling.

I've been losing a lot lately, so I wanted to sell some vegetables from Li's family in the city, but Li Laosan disagreed.

After all, hundreds of people in the academy eat meals. It's impossible to give all the greens to Huang San, and besides, Huang San still owes money!

He's been cooped up at home these past few days, so restless he just wanted to wander around. He was feeling resentful and decided to come up with this idea to get back at the Li family.

Li Lao San's eyes were red, he pointed at Huang San'er and cursed, "It's because of your lie that you want to make money for my mother to buy medicine! How much have I helped you!"

"Even though there's no vegetable for others, they always leave some for you. You want to take all the vegetables from my field, and so you repay kindness with hatred You are worse than an animal!"

Huang San'er had nothing left to lose, and roared like a butcher cleaving meat: "You dare say that You make hundreds of pennies every day from those hundreds of jin of vegetables! What are you going to do with it!"

"Your Li family is so wealthy, the dining hall rakes in gold every day. How can you possibly be short a few ounces of silver! If you just gave me a few silver ingots, I'd certainly be grateful!"

This is too shameless! Not to mention Old Li, even the onlookers couldn't stand it anymore.

"What are you talking about You don't even have the Li surname, why would people give you their money"

"That's right, he's gone crazy! He lost money gambling and went blind with rage!"

"Grab the person immediately. This time they're just trying to disgust people, but next time they might start stealing and robbing."

The officials clearly thought the same way. They informed Li Lao San and Li Lao Si, then took Huang San'er away.

Li Laosan looked at the crowd. The people who usually came to his stall for vegetables not only didn't come forward to help, but also didn't say a word of fairness, instead looking at Huang San'er with some sympathy.

He felt increasingly cold. Speaking publicly, he said: "Today, while everyone is here, I have a few things to say. From now on, the vegetables from our family's fields will no longer be sold outside. They will only be supplied to the academy's dining hall. If you want to buy vegetables, please look elsewhere."

As expected, the few people immediately changed their expressions and rushed forward.

"No, Mr. Li San, we rely on selling vegetables for our daily livelihood!"

You’ve taken most of the business already, and now you won't even give us a sip of soup It's not fair!

Li Laosan, unlike his usual amiable and polite demeanor, sneered: "When I invited you to the academy canteen before, you refused and gossiped about me behind my back, saying I had ulterior motives. Now that you regret it, you blame me again. What's wrong Did your family raise all the logic in the world You say whatever you want, is that right"

"As you said, it's your business and none of mine. This is my vegetable patch, the vegetables I planted, and if I don't want to sell them, I won't!"

"If you don't believe me, go find out for yourselves and see if the Li family is easy to bully! Then, when your heads are moved, don't blame me for being ruthless!"n others for protection. I don't want the Li family to simply exist as a pet flattering the emperor! I want a voice in court, and when anyone wants to harm Funiu or the Li family, they must think twic...
