"What are you doing, what are you doing, what are you doing?"

Among the people surrounded, a woman who bought pepper first looked at the situation around her and shouted loudly.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you if you don't move. I'll report it to the officials. Wait for the officials to come and see if the pepper you sell is adulterated."

Li Yi stood up and spoke calmly.

"Where is the adulteration? Everyone was watching just now. You are making false accusations and you are going to rebel." The woman shouted again.

"Are you the seller? I just saw you buying it." Someone next to me seemed to understand something and was very angry.

"Quickly, tell the person who bought it to take it back. It's fake."

"I wonder why it's so cheap, huh!"

"Fuck you, bring me something, don't you dare run errands to interrupt me."

A group of people were watching, and some were running to report the news and get weapons.

The twelve people surrounded were obviously scared. They knew what they had done.

They are afraid of going to the official, and they are even more afraid of being beaten before going to the official. They don't know where to start. What if they are beaten to death?

They wanted to run away, but what they saw were standard knives, and the people surrounding them had the same knives.

Suddenly, another group of people came, wearing all kinds of barbarian clothes, but the knives they held were the same horizontal ones.

Li Yi looked at the expressions of the twelve people, walked over, and Guo Ziyi followed.

With him here, Li Yi's safety is no problem. He can defeat them all by himself.

Li Yi came to an unopened bag, opened it, put his hand in, and shook it again, revealing a large paper bag.

It is wrapped in rough-edged paper. Since it is also sold with rough-edged paper, people did not pay much attention to the rough-edged paper that they occasionally saw before.

Now that a paper bag is exposed alone, do I need to explain the situation?

Li Yi dug a hole with his hand, put his fingers in, pinched some powder, and tasted it in his mouth.

"Bah!" He spit out: "Now there is a solution. You will not be allowed to see the official. I will pay for the money bought by others. Tell me, is there any powder that has not been ground into powder?"

"How is it? What if it's not there?" A strong-looking man asked, scratching his neck.

"Yes, sell it to me, I'll buy it for the price of pepper, and everything will be canceled at once. No, see the official!" Li Yihua said.

"Who are you? You make the decision for us? Why do you write it off in one go? I still want to beat him up. I bought it for fifty yuan and want to sell some."

A person who just came over refused to agree. He wanted to buy cheap ones and then sell a large part to make money.

"He's with me." Princess Yongmu helped to speak, her eyes bright, Li Lang was really good, he really had a big paper bag.

"Ah? My dear, you...you have a master?" A young man next to him looked sad.

"I don't have a master and I don't look down on you. What are you thinking about?" The neighbor went over and patted the young man on the head.

More and more people came over with forks, sticks, and the pepper they bought earlier.

"Yes or no?" Li Yi asked the twelve people again.

"Is this valuable? I want three times the price of pepper." The pepper seller rolled his eyes and raised the price.

"It looks like there is. I want half the price of pepper." Li Yi was satisfied and lowered the price.

"Twice is fine." The other party became nervous.

"The price of pepper is 10%." Li Yi lowered the price again.

"As I said just now, the price of pepper is yes, and there is a lot." The other party compromised.

Li Yi shook his head: "At half the price of pepper, should I sell it or not? What's the law on selling fakes?

Oh, among all the things used in making utensils and silk fabrics, there are some that are used too much and sold short and narrow, each with sixty sticks. If they are not strong enough to be used, they are not really said to be indiscriminate. That is, soft iron is used to make horizontal knives and arrowheads.

Those are also abusers...

Those who profit from stolen goods are calculated to be a thief. The same goes for those who sell goods..."

Li Yi memorized the contents of the Tang Code and told the other party how big the crime was.

The other party...didn't understand. Anyway, he thought the problem was serious.

Xiaolan said: "I'm just telling you that those who sell fake goods will hit their backs sixty times with a big stick until they die.

If you make a lot of money, even if you steal, you will be exiled at the least, and beheaded at the worst.

The person who is responsible for the counterfeiting counts, the person who sold it counts as well, and if you collaborated to deceive, it counts even more."

"Here you go, here you go, no more money, please let us go, wow!" The woman sat down on the ground and burst into tears.

Princess Yongmu's neighbors looked at Li Yi differently, they were knowledgeable.

"Who? Who? Who sells fake goods?" The yamen servant came.

"It's over." The woman cried even harder. When people came, it was too late. She couldn't give her anything for free. She would be beaten to death.

"Is there anyone who grinds flour? Go and have a look. If it's good, you don't need to worry about other aspects.

Everyone, I will compensate for your losses and give you a small reward, so you won’t be held accountable.

What I need from him is very important and will be beneficial to everyone in the future."

Li Yi clasped his fists at his neighbors.

"Who do you think you are? If you say you won't investigate, then... Brothers, what are we doing here?"

The leading Yamen servant walked up to Li Yi as he spoke. When he saw Li Yi's appearance, he turned his head and winked and asked.

"Someone has lost a chicken, let's find it."

"Yes, there are two missing. It's amazing. They are hens that lay eggs."

"Go find it quickly, don't delay."

"Let's go, let's go."

A group of government officials ran away as they were talking and went to do business and look for chickens.

"How?" Li Yi asked twelve more people.

They looked at the government servants who were leaving, and then at Li Yi, and realized, what else could they do? Here.

"It's noon, let's go have dinner first, and arrange for someone to pick it up with you later. These things... I bought them for a hundred dollars."

Li Yi looked at each bag. The real pepper inside was worth about a hundred coins, but he didn't pay for the fake ones.

He turned his head and said to the other neighbors: "That's all in total. Buy as much as you like and pack the pepper yourself. If there are any more, I'll treat them as gifts for you."

"What's for lunch today?" Li Yi asked Princess Yongmu when the neighbors were happy.

Princess Yongmu shook her head: "I don't know, it's cooking. I actually want to drink mutton soup."

"You saw the pepper and want to drink mutton soup. You go to my house and tell them to bring the mutton soup. Count how many people there are. There is soup cooking at home."

Li Yi pointed to a guard and asked him to go.

Without saying anything, the other party found a horse, got on it, and ran towards Li's Village.

"Everyone, our family is having mutton soup. I will bring a few packets of pepper, and you can share the rest." Li Yi knelt down and folded paper to pack pepper.

"You take one bag, and there's enough left for us to share."

"Yes, does the government officer know you?"

"No, the government officials are afraid of you. Who are you?"

"Keep it secret, I'll take away a bag. I'll leave the twelve of you, go in, drink mutton soup, and tell me what's going on.

I knew something went wrong when you purchased the goods, but I didn’t want to lose money, so I came up with this method. I’m quite calculating.”

Li Yi picked up a bag and said to the person selling fake goods.

If the other party sells the goods at a lower price than the normal price, he promises to let the government officials arrest them and fight them as necessary.

The other party's price is actually the normal price of the pepper sold. It is easy to sell and can be shipped quickly.

Otherwise, the goods will have to be sold out. Obviously, the other party is in urgent need of money for turnover.

Twelve people followed behind without daring to make any resistance.
