Li Che looked at the bronze saber that was raised above his head. Once it fell, Fan Kuai and the other three would be beheaded. Li Che thought to himself, The act was perfect.
Liu Bang and the others were saved by Xiao He. This kindness was enough for them to remember Xiao He for the rest of their lives.
"Wait!"
Li Che finally spoke.
"Zhang Han, let them go. This time, Xiao Wenshu pleaded with me. If I kill them, I'm afraid Xiao Wenshu will leave me.”
Zhang Han cupped his hands and said,""Understood!"
"Let them live, but beat them with twenty sticks as a warning!”
"Yes!"
The Qin soldiers, who were about to behead Liu Bang and the others, held the military baton in their hands and pressed Liu Bang and the others to the ground. They were beaten twenty times. The baton, which was as thick as an arm, left a mark on their buttocks and waists.
Instead, he would be beaten with a military rod until his skin was torn and his flesh was torn. Without half a month of rest, he would not be able to get out of bed.
However, even though the beating was heavy, it didn't hurt his bones.
After the five of them were beaten, they were thrown outside by the Qin soldiers.
Liu Bang and the others supported each other.
The five of them grinned.
That was a smile from the bottom of his heart. He had almost been beheaded just now. If it wasn't for Lord Xiao protecting him with his life, he would have been beaten with twenty military sticks.
The five of them supported each other. Not far away, they were surprised to see Xiao He standing at the intersection looking at them with a gloomy face. His face was so gloomy that it could rain.
"Thank you, Lord Xiao, thank you, Lord Xiao!”
"From now on, don't say that you're my friends! I, Xiao He, don't have friends who don't abide by the law like you!”
" Oh, Lord Xiao, you don't know. We came here to see you. Who knew that we waited outside the county office for the whole night but didn't see you. Later, we saw you go in with a sedan chair and then come out with the sedan chair. We wanted to go up and greet you, but who knew that these soldiers would arrest us without saying anything when they saw us…"
Liu Bang said.
Zhou Bo knelt on the ground." I will remember Lord Xiao's life-saving grace. If Lord Xiao is in trouble in this life, I, Zhou Bo, will go through fire and water. I, Zhou Bo, will die. From now on, my head will belong to Lord Xiao!"”
Fan Kuai, Lu Wan, and the others were also extremely grateful to Xiao He.
If Xiao He hadn't protected them today, they would have been beheaded. They would never forget this kindness.
Lord Xiao was such a high official, yet he was actually so protective of these idle and lazy people from the village. How could they not be moved?
"Alright, alright, hurry home and recuperate. I have some money here. Take it to the medicine shop to buy some medicine. Don't get into trouble again.”
"Our lives were saved by Lord Xiao. How can we take Lord Xiao's money?”
Liu Bang and the others were determined not to accept Xiao He's money.
"If you don't accept it and can't treat your injuries, wouldn't I have saved you for nothing?" Xiao He said with a displeased expression. Besides, when did I say I was giving it to you? I want interest! This is ten coins. When you return it, you have to return twenty coins!”
"Aiya, Lord Xiao, Lord Xiao, we didn't expect you to know how to make money. Alright, alright, we'll take it. We'll definitely return the interest to Lord Xiao!”
Liu Bang and the others took Xiao He's money and helped him out.
When Liu Bang, Fan Kuai, and the others went to the medicine shop to apply the medicine, Xiao He had already returned to the county office.
In the backyard.
Xiao He cupped his hands at Li Che and knelt down to thank him,""Thank you for your mercy, sir.”
Li Che helped Xiao He up." Xiao Wenshu, you've already pleaded for mercy. If I don't show mercy, won't you hate me?"”
"I dare not."
"Let me ask you, if I really cut them down, will you leave me?”
Xiao He shook his head and said," Sir, they violated the law. You are just strictly enforcing the law. You are strict and fair."”
Li Che looked at Xiao He and said," This is an exception. Don't do it again."”
"I understand!"
Xiao He didn't think that Li Che was doing him a favor because Liu Bang and the others were just lazy ruffians in the village. They were despised by the villagers, so they were grateful to Xiao He, but it didn't affect him.
Xiao He believed that he would not need Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo, and the others. He risked his life to save them, but he could not bear to see their heads fall to the ground.
As for why Daren let them go, it was entirely because he did not want to chill Xiao He's heart.
Xiao He looked at Li Che with gratitude.
'If I don't serve the president of the supreme court with all my loyalty and wisdom, it would be my lifelong regret.'
"Alright, go and handle the government affairs.”Li Che waved at Xiao He and told him to go to work.
Li Che was not in a hurry to ask Fan Kuai and Zhou Bo to join him. They were both in Pei County. If Li Che did not find them, they would be mediocre for the rest of their lives. Li Che believed that as long as he was still alive, the strength of the Great Qin Empire would not be consumed by internal strife. Li Che wanted to lead the Great Qin Empire's army and expand its territory!
After Li Che finished issuing the Qin laws in Pei County, he ignored Fan Kuai and Zhou Bo.
With Pei County as the center, Li Che announced the laws of the Qin Country and spread them to the surrounding 200 counties. The county captains and major families of these counties sent people to Pei County to request for the laws of the Qin Country and to study them seriously.
The Lu family was decorated with lanterns and streamers.
After Lu Zhi and Lu Chi returned home, Master Lu asked his two daughters if they were satisfied with this marriage.
Lü Fu's face turned red as he ran back to his room with the jade pendant that Li Che had given him.
Lv Zhi told his father," Father, we sisters would like to marry the dean of the supreme court. He's as old as me. Additionally, he speaks very interesting words."”
"What do you mean by interesting?" Father Lu pulled a long face. After marrying him, you should respect your husband and serve him. You should give birth to a boy and a girl as soon as possible so as to maintain your position…"
The Lu Residence educated Lu Zhi.
……
A few days later, Xiao He frequently visited the Lu family to settle the marriage.
The Lu family had already decorated the house with lanterns and red characters.
The marriage between the chief justice and Lyu Clan had been fixed. Five days later, the marriage would be held in the county government. After Li Che returned to Xianyang, he would invite the officials of Xianyang to hold a banquet.
All the famous clans in Pei County almost broke the threshold of Lyu Clan. When they learned that the two daughters of Lyu Clan were going to marry the nine ministers, they were very envious. Meanwhile, they knew that Lyu Clan was going to be prosperous soon. All kinds of gifts piled up in Lyu Clan.

Old Master Lu was naturally pleased with his success. The blessings that his two daughters brought him were really unimaginable.
In the county office.
Li Che was also looking forward to Lu Zhi and Lu Chi.
The two women were both extremely beautiful. The younger sister, Lu Chi, was even more beautiful than Lu Zhi. Moreover, the characteristics of the two of them were very eye-catching.
Lü Zhi is a prosperous husband, Lü Wei is a beautiful woman.
