"What are you doing? What are you doing?"
Among the people who were surrounded, a woman who had bought pepper powder at the beginning looked around and shouted loudly.
"Don't worry. If you don't move, we won't hurt you. We will report this to the officials. When the officials come, they will check if the pepper powder you sold is fake."
Li Yi stood out and said calmly.
"How is it fake? Everyone saw it just now. You are making false accusations. You will be punished. "The woman shouted again.
"You are the one who sold it? I saw you buy it just now. "Someone at the side seemed to understand something and was furious.
"Quick, tell the person who bought it to take it back. It's fake."
"I was wondering why it was so cheap. Hmph!"
"F * * k you. Bring it over. If you dare to run, I will break you."
Some of the people stared at them and some ran to report to the officials to get weapons.
The 12 people who were surrounded were obviously afraid. They knew what they had done.
They were afraid of meeting the officials and were even more afraid of being beaten before meeting the officials. What if they were beaten to death?
They wanted to run, but all they saw was a standard knife. The people who surrounded them had the same knife.
With a whoosh, another group of people arrived. They were dressed in all kinds of Hu clothing, but the sabers in their hands were still the same.
Li Yi looked at the 12 people and walked over. Guo Ziyi followed him.
With him around, Li Yi's safety was not a problem. He could take down all of them alone.
Li Yi came to an unopened bag and opened it. He reached in and shook it. A big paper bag was revealed.
It was wrapped in rough paper. Because they used rough paper when they sold the pepper powder, they did not pay much attention to the rough paper that they had seen before.
Now that a paper bag was revealed, was there a need to explain the situation?
Li Yi dug a hole in the paper bag and put his finger in to pinch some powder. He put it in his mouth and tasted it.
"Bah!" He spat it out: "Now there is a solution. I will not let you meet the officials. I will pay for the money that others paid. Tell me, is there any powder that has not been ground into powder?"
"So what? So what if there is no powder? "A strong looking man asked.
"Yes, sell it to me. I will buy it for the price of the pepper powder. Everything will be written off. If there is no powder, I will meet the officials! "Li Yi said.
"Who are you? Why are you making the decision for us? What right do you have to write it off? I still want to beat him up. I bought a fifty dollar bill and want to sell it. "
A person who had just rushed over did not agree. He wanted to buy cheap ones and sell a large portion of them to make money.
"He's with me." Princess Yongmu helped to speak up. Her eyes were shining. Li Lang was indeed amazing. He really had a big paper bag.
"Ah? Lil 'Miss, you … you have a master? "A young man beside her revealed a sad expression.
"No one will look down on you. What are you thinking?" The neighbor went over and patted the young man's head.
More and more people ran over with forks, sticks, and the pepper powder they had bought earlier.
"Yes or no?" Li Yi asked the twelve people.
"Is it very valuable? I want three times the price of the pepper. "The pepper seller rolled his eyes and raised the price.
"It seems that there is. Half the price of the pepper. I'll take it all." Li Yi was satisfied and lowered the price.
"Double is fine too." The other party grew nervous.
"Ten percent of the price of the pepper." Li Yi lowered the price again.
"Just like what we said just now, the price of the pepper. Yes, there's a lot." The other party compromised.
Li Yi shook his head. "Five percent of the price of the pepper. Are you selling it or not? What's the law for selling fake goods?
Oh, it's all kinds of materials used to forge weapons and silk. Those who sell it in an unscrupulous and petty manner will be beaten sixty times each. It's not strict, it's not really unscrupulous. Even those who use flexible iron to forge swords and arrowheads are also unscrupulous …
Those who profit from the crime are scheming for profit and are quasi-thieves. The same goes for the seller … "
Li Yi recited the contents of the Tang Dynasty's law and told the other party how serious the crime was.
The other party … didn't understand. In any case, they felt that the problem was very serious.
Xiao Lan said, "I'm telling you that those who sell fake goods will be beaten sixty times on the back with a big stick.
If they make a lot of money, even if they are thieves, the lightest punishment is exile. The heaviest punishment is beheading.
Those who are responsible for the fake goods will be counted. Those who sell them will also be counted. Also, all of you who are in cahoots with each other will also be counted. "
"Here, here. We don't want money. Let us go. Wah ~ ~!" The woman sat on the ground and cried.
Princess Yongmu's neighbors looked at Li Yi differently. He was very knowledgeable.
"Who? Who? Who is selling fake goods? "The bailiff came.
"It's over ~ ~" The woman cried even harder. The bailiff came. It was too late. They couldn't even give it for free. They would be beaten to death.
"Is there anyone who doesn't want to grind the flour? Go take a look. If it's good, you don't have to worry about anything else.
Everyone, I will compensate for your losses. Give me some face and don't pursue this matter.
I need something from him. It's very important and will be beneficial to everyone in the future. "
Li Yi clasped his fists at the neighbors.
"Who do you think you are? You say you won't pursue this matter … Brothers, what are we doing here? "
The leader of the bailiff spoke as he walked in front of Li Yi. When he saw Li Yi's face, he turned his head and asked.
"Someone lost his chickens. We are here to look for them."
"Yes, two of them are missing. They are hens that lay eggs."
"Hurry up and look for them. Don't delay."
"Go go go. Let's go."
The group of bailiffs spoke and ran off to look for the chickens.
"How is it?" Li Yi asked the 12 of them.
They looked at the bailiff and then looked at Li Yi. They understood. What else could they do? Take it.
"It's noon. Let's go and have lunch first. I will arrange for someone to collect it for you. These things … cost 100 taels."
Li Yi looked at the bags. The real pepper was worth about 100 taels. He did not want to pay for the fake ones.
He turned around and said to the other neighbors, "That's all. You can pack as much as you want. If there's more, I will give it to you."
"What are we having for lunch today?" Li Yi asked Princess Yongmu.
Princess Yongmu shook her head, "I don't know. It's probably stir-fried vegetables. I actually want to drink mutton soup."
"You saw the pepper and wanted to drink mutton soup. Go to my house and tell them to send some mutton soup over. You can count the number of people. There's mutton soup in my house."
Li Yi pointed at a guard and asked him to go.
The guard did not say anything and went to find a horse and galloped towards the Li Family Zhuangzi.
"Everyone, let's drink mutton soup. I brought a few bags of pepper. You can divide the rest among yourselves." Li Yi squatted down and folded some bags of pepper.
"You can take one bag. The rest is enough for us to divide."
"That's right. Do the bailiffs know you?"
"No, the bailiffs are afraid of you. Who are you?"
"It's a secret. I took one bag. Let's go. The 12 of you go in and drink the mutton soup. Tell me what happened.
I know that there was a problem when you were buying the goods. You don't want to lose money, so you came up with this idea. You're quite calculative. "
Li Yi picked up a bag and said to the person selling the fake goods.
If the other party sold it at a lower price than the normal price, he promised that the bailiffs would arrest them and beat them up.
The price the other party offered was actually the normal price of the pepper. It was easy to sell and could be sold quickly.
Otherwise, they would have to hold back the goods. It was obvious that the other party was in urgent need of money.
The 12 people obediently followed behind and did not dare to resist.
They thought that they would be fine as long as they did not enter the city. They did not expect that it would be even more dangerous outside the city.
