In front of the Discipline Hall, this woman couldn't get away with playing dirty so she resorted to playing the victim. She was quite cunning, but obviously no one paid any attention to her.

Xie Xian was wearing a black robe and a red and black horse-faced skirt with golden scales flashing across it.

She walked slowly past the woman lying on the ground, and said in a cold voice, "No one has reported Ze Yue's visit to the gambling house. The Discipline Hall has not received any reports, so they will not take any action."

The girl in black stood in front of the Discipline Hall against the morning light, her eyes slightly fixed, staring at everyone: "Anyone who causes trouble in front of the Discipline Hall without reason will be whipped ten times." As her voice fell.

Several old soldiers filed out of the door, held down the woman and started beating her.

The woman was terrified. She usually acted arrogantly in the eldest house and cursed everyone on the streets as if she was invincible. She didn't expect that she would be beaten after failing to cause trouble in the clan.

How could she bear the pain? She started swearing in a few words.

Xie Xian frowned and said softly: "If you don't accept the sentence, I will add five more lashes." Here she comes again, Xie Xian comes with her additional punishment.

These days, there are many people who refuse to accept the sentences, but as long as Xie Xian is present, no matter how painful the beating is, they dare not say a word.

At the beginning, some people didn't believe it. Xie Xian usually only increased the number of whips five times at a time. If she came across something interesting, she would add salt water or dogwood powder.

There was a tough guy who never ate dogwood again after really trying it. Only after watching the whip did I have a new understanding of Xie Xian. Xing Jun was more than just talking.

The first of the Criminal Law's rules is: only pain can be remembered deeply.

The woman had never seen such a cruel girl. She had only heard Ze Yue talk about how cruel and ruthless the second son Xing was.

She didn't believe it in her heart, she was just an orphan.

But now, seeing Xie Xian's domineering aura and her inviolable aura, he realized that he had hit a wall when the whip hit him.

She failed to cheat and was whipped, which made her cry even louder.

Moreover, Xie Xian acted in a businesslike manner and was unwilling to intervene. Everyone looked reluctant. Although this woman had a bad mouth, how could the family repay the huge debt it owed?

Seeing that she had finally behaved, Xie Xian said slowly, "Your husband often goes to the brothel and you don't teach him a lesson. Now that something has happened, you are making a fuss everywhere. This is a mistake."

"You swear a lot, and I think you've been a bad-mouther to your neighbors. This is your second offense. If you do it again, I'll give you ten lashes. Do you accept that?"

Xie Xian is too lazy to care about everyday quarrels, but if they escalate to slander and insult people's ears, don't blame her for taking action.

The woman didn't dare to open her mouth. She bit her lip and nodded. She really didn't dare.

Xie Xian looked around and said, "The Discipline Hall only deals with people who violate the rules and discipline them, but it is strange that Ze Yue lost ten thousand taels in Changlefang in one night."

The tribesmen nearby also felt something was amiss. Someone familiar with him frowned and said, "This is indeed strange. He usually only likes to drink and have fun, and never gambles. Did he get tricked this time?"

There are also knowledgeable people in the clan, and they are obviously coming for the second branch.

Everyone was talking and looking at Xie Xian eagerly.

Xie Xian naturally knew that this was the gambling house's revenge.

She would have to deal with the gambling house sooner or later. There was no other reason. Changlefang was in the alley at the entrance of West Street, which was a bit close to the clan. There could be a small shop at the school gate, but there could not be a game hall. This was the bottom line.

After instructing Xie Miao, Si Ji led two teams of East Street guards and headed towards Changlefang.

Changlefang was always noisy, day or night, with the sounds of dice colliding, coins dropping, and occasional cheers or sighs from the crowd.

The red-eyed gambler came in full of energy and left in despair.

You Da had long been accustomed to this kind of fanatical atmosphere and didn't care. In front of him were piles of copper coins. He grabbed a handful and sneered, "Once the Xie family's discipline came out, our business plummeted. How can we not teach them a lesson?"

But the steward was a little worried: "The lady of the Xie family leads the Black Stone Guard. If we frame her family members and they come directly to attack us, what should we do?"

You Da rubbed his nose and said, "Do you think there are only Black Stone Guards in Que County? The boss has long wanted to make trouble for this girl!" But there was no chance. Now I have an excuse. If I can make merit with this, hehe.

Seeing that Scar was not worried at all, the manager could only mutter to himself that no matter how powerful the Wen family was, they were just a new commoner family. How could they compare to the Black Stone Guards who had been operating for more than ten years?

"Don't worry, our boss is not just the Wen family, other big families in the county also have dividends." The Wen family relied on wandering between the black and white worlds to get ahead in recent years. They took on dirty tricks and handed over handles to gain a foothold in Que County.

Before he could put the copper coins in front of him in order, a servant came to report that someone from the Xie family had arrived.

Xie Miao received the order from the Lord of Justice, and went straight to Changlefang with Si Ji and two teams of guards. According to Qing Dai, such a small matter was not worth Xie Xian's intervention.

In the past, the queen did everything herself because she had no one to rely on her. Now that several people have gained experience, Xie Xian is naturally happy and lies down.

This was the first time Xie Miao came to a place like Changlefang. He had only heard about it before, saying that the people deep in the alleys were mostly drunkards, idlers, and hooligans.

It took a lot of courage for a girl like her to come here. Xie Miao's eyes were firm. Now she represented the face of the second branch of the Xie family, Mr. Xing, and she couldn't back down.

Si Ji kicked the wooden door open and led two teams of guards to force their way in. The lady said there was no need to be gentle, and the hall suddenly became quiet, and all the gamblers looked over.

The steward leaned over to look at Xie Miao's black stone bird pattern jacket and was shocked. The Xie family arrived so quickly.

When a few idlers saw Xie Miao, a young woman, running to the gambling house, they thought she was here to arrest their husbands. They approached her with lustful eyes and teased, "Whose young lady are you? Are you here to look for someone?"

Before he could finish his words, Si Ji kicked him away and he fell to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

Siji waved his hand gently, and the two teams of guards dispersed to create a space. Siji moved a chair to the middle, and Xie Miao sat down steadily without hesitation.

Xie Miao glanced at everyone, raised her chin slightly, covered her nose with a handkerchief in her hand and flicked it: "Come here, someone who can talk." Xie Xian had rehearsed this posture for her, and it had to be imposing.

"Hey! Where did this young lady come from with such a grand ceremony? What are you doing in my Changlefang?" You Da stood on the second floor, looking at the two teams of guards in armor and carrying swords. He felt heavy in his heart. This Xie family really planned to use force.

Xie Miao looked up and said calmly, "I am here to bring back Xie Zeyue on the orders of the Lady of the Xie Family."

You Da scarred face smiled grimly: "Ze Yue owes me ten thousand taels of silver in Changlefang. What's the matter? Did you bring the money?"

"I don't care about that. I'm only responsible for bringing the person back." Xie Miao said in a calm tone.

"Haha, this is a huge joke. It's only natural to pay back debts. If you don't have money, just cut off your hands!" Yu Da's tone was as grim as a devil from hell, and his eyes darted around at Si Ji and the guards.

"Then Manager You is not planning to hand over the person?" Xie Miao was not afraid of him. She stood up and stared at You Da. Her expression at this moment was very much like Xie Xian, who was not someone who was easy to mess with.
