Chapter 838: It Is Dangerous Outside the Fake City

"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. Report it to the government. 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 him 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 meeting the official, and they are even more afraid of being beaten before going to the official. They are not careful in their attacks. What if they are beaten to death?

They wanted to run, 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’s wrapped in rough-edged paper. Since raw-edged paper is also used when selling it, people didn’t pay much attention to the rough-edged paper they occasionally saw before.

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

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

"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?"

"What's the matter? So what if there's not?" A man who looked very strong asked, scratching his neck.

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

"Who are you? Are you making 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 was 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's a lot more." 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 the belongings of silk and silk, there are some that are used in an inappropriate manner, short and narrow, and then sold, each with a staff of sixty, which is not firmly called "used", and is not really called "indiscriminate". Even those who use soft iron to make horizontal knives and arrowheads are also misused...

Those who gain a lot of stolen goods and plan for profit are considered to be thieves. The same goes for traffickers..."

Li Yi memorized the contents of Tang's Laws and Regulations and told the other party how big the crime was.

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

Xiaolan spoke up: "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, and the person who is responsible for the fraud 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, and she couldn't even give her 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 don’t pursue it.

What I need from him is 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. That's amazing. They are egg-laying hens."

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

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

A group of government officials ran away as they spoke and went to do business, looking for chickens.

"How?" Li Yi asked twelve more people.

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

"It's noon. Let's go eat first. I'll arrange someone to go with you to get these things... I'll buy them for 100 liang."

Li Yi looked at the bags one by one. The real pepper inside was worth about 100 liang. He didn't pay for the fake ones.

Turning around, he said to the other neighbors, "That's all. Come and pack the pepper if you buy as much as you want. If there's more, I'll give it to you as a gift."

"What are you having for lunch today?" Li Yi asked Princess Yongmu when the neighbors were happy.

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

"You saw the pepper and wanted to drink mutton soup. Go to my house and tell my family to send mutton soup over. Count the number of people. There's soup cooking at home."

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

Without saying anything, the other party found a horse and ran to the Li family's farm.

"Everyone, we're having mutton soup. I'll bring a few bags of pepper. You can share the rest." Li Yi squatted down and folded paper to wrap the pepper.

"You take one bag, and the rest is enough for us to share."

"Yes, does the yamen runner know you?"

"No, the yamen runner is afraid of you, who are you?"

"Keep it secret, I'll take one bag. After you twelve leave, go in and drink mutton soup, and tell me what happened.

I know that there was a problem when you purchased the goods, and you don't want to lose money, so I thought of this way, you are quite calculating."

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

If the other party sells at a lower price than the normal price, he guarantees that the yamen runners will arrest the person and beat him if necessary.

The other party's price is actually the normal price of the pepper powder sold, which is easy to sell and shipped quickly.

Otherwise, they have to hold back the goods. Obviously, the other party is in urgent need of money to turn around.

The twelve people followed behind honestly, not daring to resist.

They thought they would be fine if they didn't enter the city, but they didn't expect that it would be more dangerous outside the city.
