Chapter 360: Break his claws
If it's a person from this village, then it means that a thief has been bred out of nowhere. If it's from another village, it would be too much for Baijia Village to bully them.
Bai Kangyuan said, "Shitang family, I know about this matter, and I will look for it carefully. This matter is not a trivial matter. If this thief can be found, I will definitely seek justice for your family."
"Uncle Lizheng is troublesome." Su Mulan nodded repeatedly, "My family is orphaned and widowed. It's thanks to Uncle Lizheng and the big guys looking after each other that we don't have any trouble. This time, troublesome Uncle Li Zheng, please worry more."
"Don't worry, this is a matter for our Baijia Village. I will investigate it carefully." Bai Kangyuan agreed simply.
Seeing this, Su Mulan didn't stay any longer and stood up, "Uncle Zheng Li, I have to go home quickly and tidy things up again. The kitchen is a mess, so I have to do it again." Go buy some food and come back, otherwise the family will be in ruins."
"Sure, go get busy." Bai Kangyuan sent Su Mulan out.
After coming back, he walked around the yard twice and spat on the ground again, "Where did this thief come from? He was so brave. I caught him and broke his claws!"
The laws of the dynasty punished theft very severely. If the person was sued to the county government, he would have to pay double the amount of the items, and at least have a stamp on his head. If the items stolen were valuable, he would be jailed.
If the person is not reported to the Yamen, the chief of each village can also punish him or herself. As long as the evidence is conclusive, it is normal to give him a beating in the presence of everyone.
Bai Kangyuan thought for a while, and then said, "There is not much life in the field these days. It seems that we still have to start patrolling at night. The old rules passed down really cannot be discarded."
In the past, in order to prevent water leakage at night and to ensure the stability of the village, the village would send two young adults to patrol the village together every night. However, it was always peaceful before. Bai Kangyuan also felt that it was a bit troublesome, so this rule gradually changed Abandoned.
Now it seems that it is better to recover.
“Well, we still have to follow the rules.” Mrs. Zheng also nodded, “It’s just a good time to talk to everyone about the Baishitang family losing rice. I think everyone agrees.”
If nothing happens normally, and the abandoned rules are suddenly picked up, some villagers are afraid that they will complain that there are too many things to do, causing trouble, etc. But now when something like this happens, everyone is afraid of this thief. If you go to your own home, no one will object.
“Well, I’m going to play the gong right now.”
Bai Kangyuan walked out of the door and walked towards the ancestral hall.
The sound of gongs is rapid and rapid.
This is a new call for something important. When every household hears this sound, even if they are busy, they put down what they are doing and come to the ancestral hall to listen and see what Bai Kangyuan has to say.
When Bai Kangyuan saw that people were almost here, he mentioned that Su Mulan's house was robbed last night and more than ten kilograms of rice were lost.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes widened in shock, and they started talking about it.
"This thief is so bold. We all in Baijia Village dare to steal. If he is caught, ask which hand stole it, and break which hand it was!"
“It’s just that if you don’t clean it up properly, you don’t know how powerful our Baijia Village is!”
"Don't say it so early. What if it's a traitor? The Baishitang family doesn't know what he looks like, and I don't know if he is from another village."
