Chapter 1164 If you can't find it, follow me

The idle men who had originally planned to rush into the house to look for someone did not expect Shao Yunduan to put such a big accusation on them as soon as he opened his mouth, and they immediately hesitated.

So what if he was a fifth-rank official? They were beaten, after all, they were paid to work, so of course they would do whatever their employer said. At most, they would be put in the Shuntian prison for a few days and beaten with a dozen sticks.

However, the accusation of "ignoring the law" and "openly opposing the court" is hard to handle.

If you are not careful, you will lose your head.

However, the more stern Shao Yunduan sounded and the more he refused to give in, the more Qiao Hongxi was convinced that he was a thief with a guilty conscience and a weak presence.

Qiao Hongxi was even a little excited, as if he could find something to hold against Shao Yunduan and beat him to death in the next moment!

"Don't think you can scare me with just a few words. I will never leave if you don't let me search today! My sister can't be bullied in vain! Shao Yunduan, if you have a clear conscience, what are you afraid of?"

Shao Yunduan stared at him straight in the eye: "Are you so sure that your sister is with me?"

Qiao Hongxi sneered: "She said she would come to see you yesterday, but she didn't go home at night. If she wasn't with you, where else could she be? How can I, as your brother, feel at ease if I don't see it with my own eyes!"

Shao Yunduan also sneered and said slowly: "I see! It's okay to show you this, but if this precedent is set, no one will be able to do this without any evidence in the future. Where is my dignity and dignity as an official appointed by the court, don't you think?"

Qiao Hongxi thought about how his official position was far behind his own, and felt a dull pain in his heart from jealousy. "So what do you say?"

Shao Yunduan sneered: "If you find it, it's up to you. If you can't find it, it's up to me."

Qiao Hongxi rolled his eyes and said, "Okay! It's settled!"

Shao Yunduan immediately bowed to the neighbors who were watching the excitement and said, "Neighbors, I don't trust these people to search the house. Can you please help me?"

Qiao Xuan is well aware of the importance of neighborhood relations. The alleys and lanes here are very different from modern high-rise buildings and apartment buildings, and gossips about neighbors will always be seen by others.

She and Shao Yunduan are outsiders. People are subconsciously xenophobic and tend to be more or less critical of newcomers.

Therefore, when she first moved in, Qiao Xuan brought gifts and visited each of the families of Lixia, Liqiu, and Songshi. She paid them a polite visit and heard a lot of gossip. She basically got a general idea of which family in the area had the best, which old lady was mean, which son was a lazy bastard, which woman was not decent, etc.

Except for Shao Yunduan, everyone in their family would carry some candied fruits, peanuts, melon seeds and other snacks when they go out, and share some with children. When they buy fresh fruits and meet familiar neighbors at the entrance of the alley on their way home, they would also share one or two. Occasionally, they would ask their neighbors for help or do them a small favor.

This way, there is give and take, and everyone gets along more happily, and no one will think that they are fools for always giving gifts to others.

Therefore, although he just moved here, he is very popular.

Shao Yunduan is now an official again, and he was taught by Old Master Yun. Everyone admires and respects him more as they get closer to him. When Shao Yunduan said this, all the neighbors nodded and said, "That's how it should be!"
