When Li Chengyuan and Liu Yunyi walked out of the ancestral hall, there were already people standing under the stairs of the ancestral hall, all of whom were members of the Li clan.

When the clan members saw the head of the clan walking out of the ancestral hall, they all bent down to salute. The third uncle, led by more than a dozen elders of the Li clan, took a step forward and respectfully shouted: "The Li clan has captured Li A Niu, come here."

Return to the clan leader."

After the third uncle finished speaking, he took a few steps sideways and made way with all the clan elders, revealing a few people behind him.

The leader of the Li clan who was responsible for arresting Li Aniu and another Li clan member slowly walked out of the crowd carrying a person, walked in front of the clan elders, and threw the person they carried heavily to the ground.

The leader of the Li family shouted loudly: "Please prove your identity, chief."

Li Chengyuan bowed and saluted.

"Thank you for your hard work, fellow tribesmen."

After thanking the clan members, Li Chengyuan made an "invitation" gesture to Liu Yunyi beside him. Liu Yunyi was not polite and walked down the steps first, followed closely by Li Nianfeng and the remaining Liu clan members in the ancestral hall.

The two of them walked down the steps and walked straight towards Li A Niu. At this time, the Li clan members had brought torches and handed them to the leader.

When the two came closer, the leader of the Li family stretched out the torch not far in front of Li Aniu, so that the two clan leaders could clearly see Li Aniu's face.

Li Aniu's face was covered with blood scabs and tears at this time, and combined with his weird smile at this time, it looked particularly scary.

Li Chengyuan frowned and told the tribesmen: "Go get some water and wipe his face clean."

After hearing the clansmen's instructions, a clansman immediately brought a bucket of water and soon wiped Li Aniu's face clean.

Looking at Li Aniu's clear face, Li Chengyuan clasped his fists at Liu Yunyi and said: "Clan Chief Liu, come and take a look. If there are any Liu clan members who know Li Aniu, you can also call to see him so that he can verify his identity."

Liu Yunyi nodded and said hello behind him, and a member of the Liu clan walked out immediately behind the two of them.

The Liu clan members said "offended" each to Li Chengyuan and the Li clan members, then squatted on the ground and looked carefully. After looking at the people and confirming their identities, the Liu clan members nodded to Liu Yunyi and left again.

He returned behind the two of them.

After getting the reply from the tribe, Liu Yunyi checked it again personally, and then said to Li Chengyuan: "Clan Chief Li, now that his identity has been confirmed, I will take that person away."

Li Chengyuan was about to agree, but was stopped by the leader of the Li family.

The leader came close to Li Chengyuan's ear and whispered to him about the arrest of Li Aniu tonight.

The more Li Chengyuan listened, the uglier his face became. By the end, he was so angry that his face was livid.

"Asshole."

After listening to what the leader said, Li Chengyuan shouted angrily and kicked Li Aniu in the stomach. However, Li Aniu acted like a normal person after receiving such a heavy blow. He just retched and then fell again.

He laughed, and what was even more outrageous was that when Li Aniu saw clearly that it was the clan leader Li Chengyuan who was doing the trick, he even laughed out loud. The laughter was as harsh as a night owl, making people feel as if their scalp was numb.

Seeing Li Aniu like this, Li Chengyuan became even more angry. He resisted the urge to take action and apologized to Liu Yunyi: "Clan Chief Liu, I'm afraid I can't hand this person over to you."

Liu Yunyi was quite surprised after hearing this. You must know that according to the ancestral rules, as long as it is not a killing among the same clan, the murderer needs to be handed over to the custody of the victim's clan after his identity is verified, in order to prevent the murderer from being sheltered by his clan.

.As the clan leader, Li Chengyuan oversees all the surnames in the town. He has never done anything that violates the rules, but this time...

Liu Yunyi suddenly became curious about what the leader of the Li family just said to Li Chengyuan. What could make the most disciplined Li Chengyuan so angry?

In order to figure out what was going on here, Liu Yunyi pretended to think and then showed a troubled expression.

"Clan Chief Li, you also know the rules of our ancestors. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to not make friends with others, right? Besides, it's already this hour. We still have to be busy tomorrow, and you Li clan members have been busy all night, so it's time to

Let the clansmen rest."

Li Chengyuan took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at Liu Yunyi and said word by word: "Old Liu, do you still remember the fire 40 years ago?"

Hearing Li Chengyuan suddenly mention what happened forty years ago, Liu Yunyi's expression changed drastically. He looked at Li Chengyuan and waited for Li Chengyuan's next words.

"Just now, Yunwu told me that before Li Aniu was captured, he was setting fire to the town."

When he said this, Li Chengyuan almost said it through gritted teeth.

Hearing the word "arson", Liu Yunyi also recalled the fire 40 years ago, and his expression turned extremely ugly.

Li Chengyuan ignored Liu Yunyi's reaction, and continued: "You can arrange for your Liu clan to watch Li Aniu, but Li Aniu cannot be handed over to you. If it is just a murder, Li Aniu naturally needs to be handed over to you, but

He actually dares to set fire to it, then my Li family cannot be left to you."

Li Chengyuan stared into Liu Yunyi's eyes and said through gritted teeth: "Li Aniu will die tomorrow, but this does not mean that he can die to escape the laws of my Li family."

Li Chengyuan has never been so strong since he took over the position of clan leader. Now he uses such a strong tone towards a clan leader, which shows how angry he is in his heart.

In fact, Liu Yunyi's face was full of anger at this time. If Li Aniu was not a member of the Li clan, but a member of his Liu clan, Liu Yunyi would have wanted to beat this scourge to death. So when Li Chengyuan said that he would keep Li Aniu and use it

During the family law practice, Liu Yunyi agreed almost without thinking.

"Okay, you can stay, but we will also keep a few people from our Liu family."

Liu Yunyi's request was reasonable, so Li Chengyuan did not stop him.

"Clan Chief Liu, leave the rest to our Li family. You can go back first. We will discuss the rest tomorrow."

Hearing Li Chengyuan's order to expel guests, Liu Yunyi nodded and left quickly with the Liu clan members.

After all the outsiders had left, Li Chengyuan looked at Li A Niu, gritted his teeth and said, "Come here, all the elders of the Li clan."

After hearing the clan leader's instructions, the third uncle quickly gathered around with all the clan elders.

"Clan member Li Aniu killed people in the street first, which disgraced his ancestors, and deliberately set fires later. He treated the lives of all the people in the town as nothing. Today, as the leader of the Li clan, I, Li Chengyuan, hereby request that family law be taken into account. According to family law

, Li Aniu should remove all the nails on his hands and feet, and then cut off his nose and ears with a blunt knife. You will do it yourself. Do you understand?"

Li Chengyuan almost shouted at the end.

"The Li clan always obeys orders."

Without any hesitation, all the elders of the Li clan accepted the order in unison.

"Since I have to attend the clan meeting tomorrow, I will have to worry about the family law matters for the elders."

After saying the clan order, Li Chengyuan suppressed the anger in his heart and apologized respectfully to the clan elders. The clan elders even said they didn't dare.

After killing Liu Mazi in the street, Li Aniu knew that he would definitely die. At that time, he thought that killing one was killing, and killing two was killing. So after he recovered from the sequelae of the murder, he returned to Lu Yangsheng's house. After all,

In Li Aniu's opinion, besides Liu Mazi, the person he hates most is Lu Yangsheng. Of course, now there is another Li Tiansheng.

When Li Aniu arrived at Lu Yangsheng's house, he saw that there was still no one there, so Li Aniu hid and waited for Lu Yangsheng to come back. However, he waited for a long time, but still did not see Lu Yangsheng come back, especially after the ancestral bell rang.

He became even more anxious because he also knew that as soon as the temple bell rang, someone would probably come to arrest him.

Li Aniu waited and waited, but Lu Yangsheng did not come back. He was so angry that he knew that he could not wait any longer. If he waited any longer, he would be caught. How could he kill Li Tiansheng then? It happened that at this time, Li Aniu saw

Lu Yang looked at the thatch that was drying in the yard, which made him feel evil. He took out a fire stick and lit all the thatch on fire.

Autumn is already dry, and untreated thatch is flammable, so Li Aniu almost lit the thatch on his front feet, and Lu Yangsheng's entire family turned into a sea of ​​flames.

After Li Aniu saw the blazing sea of ​​​​fire, he somehow remembered all the things that happened tonight in his mind, and it became clearer and clearer, until he almost collapsed in the end. Just like that, Li Aniu stopped running.

, and this was the scene that the people of the Li clan saw.

After being caught, Li Aniu had already accepted his fate, and he felt that it was just death. He couldn't escape anyway, so what else did he have to be afraid of? So even if Li Aniu saw Li Chengyuan, he still didn't feel afraid.

, there is even some strange pleasure in my heart.

But Li Aniu didn't expect that Li Chengyuan would have such a big reaction after hearing that he had set the fire, and would use family methods against him.

Li Aniu was afraid, he was really afraid.

"Patriarch, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. Let me die. Just let me die. I don't want to be subject to family law."

Listening to Li Aniu's begging for mercy, Li Chengyuan didn't feel soft at all.

"Third uncle, remember to bring a few people from the younger generation with you when you practice family magic."

The third uncle nodded after listening to Li Chengyuan's instructions, then turned around and nodded the names of several clan members, and took the lead to walk towards the Li family's small ancestral hall.

"Patriarch, I was wrong, please spare me, patriarch..."

Li Aniu's begging for mercy became more and more distant, and the chill on Li Chengyuan's face finally gradually receded. He thought for a moment and suddenly shouted to the leader of the Li family tonight: "Yunwu, come here."

Li Yunwu, the leader of the Li family, quickly came over after hearing the clan leader's call.

"Clan leader, are you looking for me?"

Li Chengyuan nodded and asked, "Have you ever met Li Aniu's parents when you captured him?"

Li Yunwu shook his head: "I didn't see him. There is no one at his house. I heard from the neighbors that he must have gone into the mountains. He hasn't seen anyone for many days."

Li Chengyuan sighed and ordered: "Yunwu, you will take people into the mountain early tomorrow morning and try to find Li Aniu's parents. Although Li Aniu is a heinous person, he is a member of the Li clan after all. He must be allowed to die before execution.

Meet the family."

Li Yunwu barely hesitated and nodded in agreement.

After talking about the matter, Li Chengyuan dismissed all the clan members and asked them to go home to rest. He also took Feng Ying and Li Nianfeng back to his home.

After arriving home, Li Chengyuan called out to Li Nianfeng who was about to go out, and ordered: "Nianfeng, early tomorrow morning you go into the mountain, find Xiao Yangsheng who is guarding Master Jiu's tomb, and take him to the ancestral hall."

After Li Nianfeng heard his father's instructions, he asked in confusion: "Father, we want to bring Lu Yangsheng to the ancestral hall? Isn't this inappropriate?"

Li Chengyuan frowned and asked with a stern face: "Why is it inappropriate?"

Seeing that the old man was about to get angry, Feng Ying quickly kicked his son.

"Go if you are told. There is so much nonsense. Besides, Yang Sheng is the only person named Lu in our town. I don't want to call him anyone."
