Principal of the Heavens

Li Yi looked at him and nodded to indicate that he could speak, and the attention of the crowd was immediately drawn to Li Shitou.

At the same time, Li Shi was analyzing and thinking about his impression of this person and what he had done.

After thinking about it carefully, he really didn't know this person very well.

If you didn't do it yourself, you may not be able to settle on yourself. There are still many things you don't know.

My six sons are also grown up, so I won't report to myself in detail. If they really did something outside, and I don't know it, if I reveal it now, it may really kill me.

He was thinking about it, and he didn't even have an impression of this person in the village. There are so many people in the whole Zhuangzi, how could he remember them all? Many people, as for the rest, I really can't remember.

Even his slaves, he couldn't remember them all, only how many there were, and he branded them with the iron mark of slaves.

He is also very restless in his heart now. If this guy really said something about himself and he couldn't explain it, it would be really wronged.

Li Shi thought that although he hadn't done anything good so far, he hadn't done anything utterly devoid of conscience.

It stands to reason that the crime should not lead to death, but it's hard to say, it depends on this, and it doesn't look like someone who can treat nobles leniently.

You must know that in this era, the nobles committed a crime. If no one is in charge, it will be over. Even if someone is in charge, they will be fined up to two dollars, and nothing will happen.

Li Shitou stood up this time because he was the first to stand up and gained sweetness and benefits.

So this time, seeing no one making a sound, he stood up again.

Since none of you are willing to say that he is guilty, then I will.

You are all afraid of him, but I am not.

He thought so, so he spoke.

Everyone looked at him in silence, they seemed to be expecting, waiting for him to speak some shocking language.

But at this time, facing everyone's eyes, he seemed to be stuttering, opening his mouth again and again, but he never spoke.

"You don't have to worry, just speak out boldly, and I will uphold justice for you. Don't worry about anything else. If he dares to revenge you afterwards, I will do nothing, and I will avenge you."

After Li Yi finished speaking, Li Shitou seemed to have gained great courage. He couldn't open his mouth at first, but now he was able to speak intermittently.

His expression was very smug, and when he looked at the other people around him, he suddenly felt that he was different from them.

Anyway, now that there are gods helping me to uphold justice, I have nothing to be afraid of.

"That year, in order to marry my wife, I went to his house to borrow five buckets of grain.

He gave me Wudou

But after I borrowed it, I went home and weighed it, and there were only three buckets.

I said there must be something wrong with his scale.

I went to look for him, but I didn't find him, and I was beaten up.

In the end, he forced me to pay him eight buckets of grain with interest. "

What Li Shitou said was very angry and angry.

After listening to him, Li Yi nodded alone.

Then he looked at Li Shi, it seemed that the other party didn't remember at all, if the other party knew, he wouldn't show such an expression, a face full of bewilderment, bewilderment, and bewilderment.

In fact, Li Shi is quite ignorant. Sometimes he will lend food to these people, but he will charge interest otherwise, but when he gives them something, he will never say that if he borrows you five Dou, he will definitely give you five Dou. There are many less for no reason.

Hearing what Li Shitou said, the expressions on the faces of the strong men who were on the side all changed. They did it together without telling their father.

Originally, it was well hidden from him, and no one knew about it, but now something went wrong, and it was revealed by others.

It never occurred to him that even if his father found out about their matter, he would at most scold them and beat them twice, and now they might even lose their lives.

Li Shi wanted to refute, and heard that many people in the audience wanted to talk about themselves based on this matter. Everyone's experience was different, and what they said had their own nose and eyes.

It wasn't that he looked down on these untouchables, but with their brains, even if they wanted to, they probably wouldn't have thought of joining forces to frame him.

Looking at it this way, there is only one possibility. He turned his head and looked at his sons to see the expressions on their faces, and he knew it in his heart.

It's just that he didn't plan to do anything more, so he would die if he died, as long as his sons could survive.

What a bunch of fools, why couldn't I resist throwing them against the wall at the beginning.

Although he thought so in his heart, there was nothing he could do at this moment. He kept silent and prepared to admit all the guilt.

Li Yi turned to look at him, and the other party seemed very calm, as if he had accepted all this.

If combined with the stunned expression on the other side's face before, I'm afraid it really wasn't him who did this.

It is estimated that his sons did it without telling him. He saw everything in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

"Li Shi, you can plead guilty."

There was no trace of expression in his eyes, he nodded silently, I am afraid you are going to die this time, but your own death can save the lives of your family.

I hope that the other party can show mercy and spare his son's life.

"Admit it." After he finished speaking, he seemed to have exhausted his energy, just like a mosquito coil had been burned, but there was still a little bit of ashes that refused to dissipate.

"Okay, since you have pleaded guilty, then you have to plead guilty." Li Yi's voice was calm. I just now roughly understood what crime the other party had committed.

It is nothing more than lending usury and beating people. In addition to forcibly seizing water sources during farming and irrigation, and trying to embezzle some people's land.

In addition, there are countless other things, countless.

What behavior is this? This is typical village tyrant behavior.

But he just did these things, and he didn't do anything good, but he didn't do anything bad either.

The folks in the village, the human society, he will even help these people, if someone really dies, there is no money to bury him.

He lends usurious loans, but to a certain extent he has to admit that he has indeed solved his urgent needs. Of course, the most important thing is that the money he puts out has no compound interest.

If you borrow three buckets of grain and ask you to pay back five buckets, you only need to pay back five buckets. It doesn’t matter if the harvest of grain this year is not good, you can pay it back next year if you say so.

Generally speaking, this person is a complicated person. Although he didn't do anything good, it has to be said that he did help some people.

It's just that his identity as an exploiter and oppressor cannot be removed.

Therefore, it is said that the death penalty can be avoided, but the life penalty cannot be escaped.

"Li Shi, you have made too many mistakes, but there are no major mistakes. Capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped."

When he said this to Li Shi, the other party seemed very excited.

It was ignited again in an instant, and the hope of life appeared in the eyes.
