Arriving at a small courtyard with adobe walls, Zhao Wu pulled out his oxtail knife and waved it.
Two strong men armed with sticks kicked open the dilapidated wooden door!
Three strong men went in front, two archers drew their bows and set arrows, and they rushed in together.
A skinny woman walked out of the kitchen: "Sir, what's going on!"
"Guo Cang, you have committed a crime, get out of here and be arrested without mercy!"
Ignoring the woman, Zhao Wu waved his oxtail knife, and the five men were about to break into the house.
boom!
Two wooden doors slammed outward, knocking the five people off their feet.
A young man rushed out with a knife and rushed towards Zhao Wu.
Wang Yuan's expression was stern. This young man's eyes were captivating and his face was filled with murderous intent!

Unexpectedly, Zhao Wu sneered and didn't even raise the knife. He just said: "Guo Cang, killing officials is the same as rebellion. It is a major crime to punish the nine tribes. I, Zhao Wu, stand here and don't move. Do you dare to kill me!"
"
Holding the knife, Guo Cang was startled, turned around and ran towards the courtyard wall, jumping up to the top of the two-meter-high wall.
"What a fast reaction speed, faster than some of the great parkour masters on the planet!"
Before the five strong archers could get up, Zhao Wu slowly turned around again, and Wang Yuan felt that Guo Cang was about to run away.
Zhao Wu spoke again: "Guo Cang, do you really want to run away? You can run away, but where are your wife, children, and mother? They will all be imprisoned."
The crime of stealing from Daye was originally very serious. One person stole and his whole family and neighbors were implicated.
There have been frequent wars in recent years, and there have been too many thefts, so they have been dealt with more lightly.
Only the first criminal will be arrested, and the family will not be affected; however, if the first criminal escapes, the family will go to jail.
Guo Cang paused on the wall, with a gloomy expression on his face. He finally jumped off the wall, threw away the long knife in his hand, knelt on the ground and raised his hands: "Senior Elder, it is not my fault to bring harm to my mother, wife and children. Guo Cang pleads guilty and is willing to obey the law."
Zhao Wu put away his oxtail knife and said, "As long as you don't make things difficult for me, my fellow villagers, I won't embarrass your family. Come and put on the shackles."
Five archers and strong men got up and put yoke on Guo Cang.
Wang Yuan was secretly shocked.
The people's hearts are like iron, and the king's law is like a furnace.
It has been two hundred and thirty-eight years since the Daye Dynasty, and the king's law still has the power to deter thieves.
This Guo Cang gave up running away for the sake of his mother, wife and children, so he was considered a responsible man.
Not long after, the big tiger, the second tiger, five archers, and the strong men came over, pressing down the second brother Guo Liang, and the third brother Guo Qiang.
The three brothers have similar body shapes and looks, dark and thin.
The only difference is that the third child, Guo Qiang, looks pale and seems to be seriously injured.
A group of villagers gathered around!
"Senior Elder, please let my son go. He stole all because I, an old woman, bought medicine. Take me to the county government and go to jail for him!"
Guo's mother, who was hunched over, thin and white-haired, knelt down and kowtowed in front of Wang Yuan.
"Master Wang, please spare our master. He is wrong to steal, but he can't help it. My mother-in-law is sick and needs to take medicine. He gets up early and works late at night and can't make much money. He has to take this road. Please forgive me."
Show mercy and let him go, we will kowtow to you!"
The three wives brought a group of children to Wang Yuan, and Zhao Wu knelt down and kowtowed.
Wang Yuan couldn't help him up, so he had no choice but to turn away.
Zhao Wu looked indifferent.
"Hey, the three Guocang brothers are good people. If their father hadn't passed away three years ago and they were buried, and my mother got sick and sold out all the land, and they were tenant farmers and couldn't get enough to eat, they wouldn't have become thieves. They would have become thieves.
I have never stolen a grain of grain from anyone in my village."
"Sir, Master Wang, please let them go. The three brothers are all good people."
"If you want to take away the three pillars of their family, how will their three families survive?"
The villagers whispered advice.
"Take good care of my mother and children!"
The three brothers looked at their respective wives, kowtowed three times to their wives, and then said nothing.
Wang Yuan's heart felt as if someone had pinched him.
Hard work cannot support an old mother, wife and children, so good people are forced to become thieves!
What kind of world does this special girl live in!
