"Leave our village."
"We don't need outsiders like you to interfere in our village's affairs."
"Hurry and go."
All the villagers looked at Bei Yutang and his group with fierce eyes.
Xue Qian stepped forward and said calmly, "According to the laws of the Southern Tang Dynasty, private executions and private judgments are prohibited. What you have done is murder. You killed her, and all of you must go to jail and behead her."
"This is our village, she is ours, and we have the right to deal with her. No one can do anything about it." The villagers shouted righteously.
"You are simply unreasonable." Xue Qian was very angry.
He is not good at speaking and has no idea how to deal with such a rude and unreasonable person.
Little Moer stood up and looked up at the burly man, "Uncle, are you from Southern Tang?"
"Of course." The burly man responded without thinking.
"Are we standing on the land of Southern Tang at this moment?"
"Of course."
"Since this is the Southern Tang Kingdom, you are citizens of the Southern Tang Kingdom and must abide by its laws. According to the laws of the Southern Tang Kingdom, anyone who flouts the law will be punished with thirty strokes of the cane."
Little Moer opened his dark eyes and smiled at him, "Uncle, your actions just now have violated the laws of the Southern Tang Kingdom. You should be punished with thirty strokes of the cane."
"You, you..." The burly man was speechless after being rebuked by Xiao Moer.
Xue Qian was so excited that he couldn't help but shout, "Okay, well said."
The middle-aged woman angrily said, "Who do you think you are? You say you committed a crime. We in Jixiao Village deal with villagers who don't follow the rules. Even if the county magistrate comes, he won't dare to come to us."
Bei Yutang said to Daixiang, "Bring that thing here."
Dai Xiang was stunned for a moment, but soon understood what was going on. She hurried to the carriage behind and found the imperial edict.
Daixiang walked slowly over with the imperial edict.
The villagers looked at the shiny object with puzzled expressions. However, the village chief, who was quite knowledgeable, guessed that it was most likely a royal item as soon as he saw it.
Xiao Daixiang, with her fair face, said to everyone, "My master was granted the title of a county lord by the Emperor."
As she spoke, she spread out the shining imperial edict.
"I saw the imperial edict and refused to kneel. This crime deserves death."
The village chief was so scared that he knelt down. The other villagers who were still in shock followed suit when they saw the village chief kneeling down.
"Village chief, do you think I am still qualified to manage this now?" Bei Yutang bent down and looked at him with a smile.
"S-Okay."
Any woman who can be conferred the title of Lady of the Country is not an ordinary person and they cannot afford to offend her.
Sanniang, who was locked in the pig cage, was very excited and looked at them with tears in her eyes.
"Everyone, get up."
The village chief was helped to his feet by the people around him, and the surrounding villagers no longer had their previous arrogance. They looked at them with curiosity and awe, especially Bei Yutang.
"Let her go."
The village chief hesitated and said to the woman who had shouted the loudest, "How can we let such an unfaithful woman go?"
Bei Yutang looked at her, "Do you have any objection to what I said?"
The middle-aged woman felt a little guilty when she saw her eyes, "I, I..."
Her man hurriedly pulled her away and signaled her not to speak.
The village chief waved his hands at the people below and said, "Let them go, let them go."
Several villagers opened the pig cage and released Sanniang.
