My father-in-law couldn't stop crying, and the young man sitting below was also gnashing his teeth, wishing he could eat his flesh and drink his blood.

Li Si watched Li Yi meditate, but couldn't bear it anymore and cursed: "That thief is so audacious, how can we just sit idly by and do nothing. Battalion Commander, if you give the order, we will teach them a lesson."

Li Yi nodded and said: "We must take care of this matter. But there must be collusion between the local chief and the county magistrate. Even if we go to the governor, the officialdom rules, the governor will only deal with it lightly and deal with it perfunctorily."

It’s over.”

Li Si became even more anxious after hearing this and said, "What should we do? The government is in a mess and can't control anything at all. Why don't we go directly to Tongkou Village to administer justice and beat the evil thief hard to get rid of our bad temper."

"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man hurriedly stopped him and said, "Young man, you can't do this. When our family was destroyed and people died, the magistrate didn't care about it. But if the chief there had been taught a lesson, he would definitely file a complaint with the government. Then they would collude to frame him.

The death penalty for cooperating with bandits and killing people is terrible."

What the old man said was reasonable, but he not only thought about himself, but also didn't want to cause trouble to Li Yi and others.

Li Yi also felt a little tricky.

This matter is said to be easy to handle. As long as the Yong camp is dispatched, it will be easy to teach the leader a lesson. However, the squires are all related to each other by marriage, and the influence of the whole body will be affected. If it is not handled well, it will attract the attention of all the squires.

Hostility. And the government has acquiesced, so there must be interests in it. Li Yi interfered, but he violated the rules they set and could easily become the target of public criticism.

In the end, not only the villagers will suffer retaliation, but An Xin may also be pushed to the forefront.

But I had to use tactful means, but I couldn't think of a good way for a while. You must know that the government has colluded with the gentry, and they will never stand up to uphold justice. People in high positions such as the government officials are also deeply trapped in the rules of the officialdom. For the sake of their own career interests, they also

I won't intervene rashly.

In this way, neither hard nor soft methods will work.

The more he thought about it, the more Li Yi felt that the general trend was like this, and ordinary people were really powerless to resist when faced with privileges.

After thinking about it, since An Xin couldn't teach this country bully a lesson, then it would be okay if the real thieves often robbed the big houses in the surrounding area and suddenly attacked Chang's home there in a few days.

Seeing his father-in-law looking at him with hope, Li Yi said: "This matter is of great importance and we cannot rush forward."

Upon hearing this reply, the old man and the young people who followed him all showed disappointed eyes.

Before, they were just thinking, knowing that even their relatives and friends from neighboring villages did not dare to get involved and help them cheer up. How could the Anxin cubs, strangers to them, risk offending the officials and gentry to help them.

The father-in-law let out a long sigh, but did not try to persuade him any more. He just stood up and left.

They had no choice but to find a way to beg the bully, the leader, to see if they could make his conscience aware of it and open up the door a little wider.

Seeing this, Li Yi quickly stopped them and said with a smile: "Don't misunderstand me, I said I wouldn't come forward rashly, but I didn't say I wouldn't care about this matter. Please wait for two days for my news. Please come back when the time comes.

Please inform the villagers to cooperate more, otherwise there will be casualties and I will feel uneasy."

Hearing what Li Yi said, the six of them were overjoyed, and the father-in-law even knelt down with a "pop". For a while, he burst into tears again and was about to kowtow.

Li Yi hurriedly stepped forward to support him and comforted him: "My husband, please don't do this. Since I, Li Yi, have made a statement that the people cannot be deceived, I should take this as my own responsibility and not be a person who is just trying to gain fame. Please take it easy.

Leave three of your disciples to live in Anxin. When the time comes, if there is any action, I will naturally send them to inform you and wait."

After all these considerations, the old man had nothing to say. He could only hold Li Yi tightly with his withered hands, and said with tears streaming down his face: "We have no power and know that we have no way to survive. How could we think of An Xin cub?"

Such a benevolent hero dared to take such a risk to save me. This kindness is comparable to saving hundreds of villagers in Tongkou Village. I have nothing to repay, so I can only kneel here to thank you."

As he said this, he kowtowed and thanked him.

How could Li Yi let such an old man kowtow to him? He lifted the old man up with his arms, but he was too late to stop the young man who was following behind him, so he accepted the bow.

After talking to Li Yi, the father-in-law stopped staying and went back anxiously to make arrangements.

Li Yi and Li Si sent him out of the village. They looked at several people who were either old and feeble or covered in scars. They were illuminated by the setting sun and felt as if they were walking into a void of space. They felt extremely sad.

"Battal Commander, the world is like this, how can the people survive?" Li Si, with a face full of pain, turned to Li Yi and said.

Li Yi could also feel the pain and powerlessness in Li Si's heart. Facing the gentry, the government, and the interests of ordinary people, no one ever cared about them. They were bullied and insulted wantonly, but there was nowhere to redress their grievances, and no one made decisions for them.

All they can do is to try their best to survive until they are tortured and bruised in the games of the officials and gentry, and end their lives in despair.

Li Yi looked at the gradually blurring backs of the three people, his eyes becoming bottomless. He turned his head to look at the confused Li Si, also looking at the unwillingness to surrender in this era.

"No one makes decisions for them, so we have to help them; this world is so cruel, we will destroy it. Li Si, you have to remember that the common people cannot be bullied, and we will retaliate with an eye for an eye."

Eyes, let those who dare to bully us feel scared. Only in this way, they will not dare to bully us or show the slightest ugly face."

After Li Yi gritted his teeth and said this, Li Si nodded fiercely. He felt that the current battalion commander seemed to be unusually tall, which made him feel the urge to bow his head and worship him.

The people of Haohao cannot be bullied, so Li Si decided that after he returns, he must tell everyone exactly what Li Yi said about the people of Haohao.

The father-in-law left behind three young children, named Ma Youxiang, Ma Youfu, and Ma Youshou. They are three brothers, with strong bodies and honest and simple temperaments, which is good.

Li Yi called them over and asked a few questions, but he got what he wanted to know.

The bully's eldest name was Sun Dahu. He was originally a small family member who had been an official for generations, but later he had a sister who married the old man of the He family as his concubine and gained favor. Relying on his relationship with the He family, he bribed

When the government became the head of the village, they imposed excessive taxes and could not help but embezzle money and food when paying taxes, and they also occupied the land of the villagers.

If anyone dared to resist, whether they were tenants or villagers, they would all instruct their servants to secretly do evil, either poisoning them to death or secretly beating them to death or wounding them. With such cruel methods, all the villagers dared not speak out in anger.
