The woman's eyebrows and eyes were all pure, as soon as she raised her eyes, she happened to see Xu Qingchang, although she didn't say a word, but I don't know why, Xu Qingchang just felt that the woman seemed to be talking, or asking him for help.

Sure enough, when she overflowed, a half-old rich businessman stepped forward to hold her hand, the rich businessman was old and greasy, and even Xu Qingchang felt that it was too greasy to grab Lizhi's hand.

Lizhi's flustered eyes were like a deer that was arrested, and he was at a loss, Xu Qingchang didn't know why, but he stood up directly: "Let go of her!" ”

The rich merchant frowned unhappily, and said in a slightly duck voice: "Who dare you to shout here?" ”

Li Huaiyu and the old bustard were still laughing, and when they heard the movement here, they hurriedly glanced over here, and after seeing Xu Qingchang and the rich businessman, they immediately said with a straight face: "This is the future secretary of the criminal department." ”

Xu Qingchang hurriedly explained: "It's not the future criminal department book, don't let others misunderstand." ”

Li Huaiyu patted Xu Qingchang on the shoulder and said, "Hey, it's not a sure thing for you to be the secretary of the criminal department, who else is worthy of being the secretary of the criminal department in this court besides you?" ”

Xu Qingchang felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Li Huaiyu's words, but immediately afterward, the rich businessman was instigated, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Lord Shangshu of the Criminal Department, who has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, and I also ask Lord Shangshu of the Criminal Department not to blame." ”

He continued: "Since it is Lord Shangshu of the Criminal Department who wants this girl, then it is enough to give this girl to the adult. ”

As he spoke, he sent Lizhi to Xu Qingchang, Xu Qingchang couldn't help but soften his heart when he saw Lizhi's eyes full of autumn water.

Lizhi rarely saw such a talented and good-looking man in the Qinglou, so he couldn't help but bump into the deer for a while: "The slave family doesn't know how to repay the son's rescue, so it's better for the slave family to play a song for the son." ”

Lizhi's voice was soft, Xu Qingchang was a little flirtatious by her voice for a while, and nodded hurriedly, and then Lizhi pulled Xu Qingchang to the inner room, blushing, although she looked delicate and weak, but playing the pipa was very crisp and good, a song of flat sand and falling geese, which made Xu Qingchang a little more emotional.

"You don't have to be afraid." Seeing that Lizhi was obviously scared to death, Xu Qingchang said: "I don't bully people like others, and today is the first time I have come to this Qinglou, I won't do anything to the girl in Xia, and please rest assured." ”

Lizhi was relieved at this time, and she already had a good impression of Xu Qingchang, so the two chatted between them.

The two of them forgot the time for a while, and in a blink of an eye, it was already the middle of the night, and there was already a curfew outside, Lizhi looked at the moonlight outside and said to Xu Qingchang: "Why don't you stay here, and the slave family can go to the side box." ”

Xu Qingchang didn't want to be here, but tonight's curfew was too strict, so he had to stay here.

After chatting with this Lizhi all night, he was already very happy, and even in his sleep, he was very excited and happy.

And he never expected that when he woke up the next day, he would see Lizhi dead in front of him.

There was a short knife in her chest, and her eyes were full of disbelief, Xu Qingchang stepped forward and saw that the big eyes that were originally bright were looking at him at this time, he was startled, at this time Wan Niang happened to come over, and when she saw the corpse of Lizhi on the ground, she shouted: "Killed!" ”

For a while, all the girls in the entire Qinglou were called out, and all the people who stayed in the Baihualou also came out, Li Huaiyu was startled when he saw the corpse of Lizhi on the ground, and hurriedly asked, "Did you do it?" ”

Xu Qingchang shook his head, he slept very well last night, and he never even got up at all.

Just when everyone was in a lot of confusion, there was a sudden shout outside: "The people from Jingzhao Mansion are here!" ”

Xu Qingchang and Li Huaiyu glanced at each other, neither of them expected that the people from Jingzhao Mansion would come so quickly, and the speed was completely beyond common sense.

Xu Qingchang flashed many thoughts in an instant, and finally it was almost certain that he had been tricked.

The people of Jingzhao Mansion almost didn't give Xu Qingchang any chance and took them all away, Xu Qingchang came to Jingzhao Mansion, and he almost understood what was going on in his heart.

He hammered his head, feeling that Zhang Song's face in front of him was even more majestic.

Zhang Song received a report early in the morning, a thief went to Baihualou to steal things, happened to bump into Lizhi, the thief in order not to expose himself, in a hurry to cover Lizhi's mouth, Lizhi struggled desperately, and finally the thief killed Lizhi.

After the thief killed Lizhi, he panicked, so he came directly to Jingzhao Mansion and surrendered.

Zhang Song sent people to Jingzhao Mansion to investigate, but he didn't expect to find out a brother in the court, including Xu Qingchang, who has been in the limelight recently.

Zhang Song asked everyone as usual, asking about everything that happened from last night to today, and the rich businessman who had an argument with Xu Qingchang last night happened to be among them.

The rich businessman told Zhang Song all the whole process of the conflict with Xu Qingchang last night, including what Li Huaiyu said, that he offended Lord Shangshu of the Criminal Department.

Zhang Song's face was not very good after hearing this, the emperor who hates the most flamboyant and domineering person, has not yet become the secretary of the criminal department, so he regards himself as the secretary of the criminal department, if this matter reaches the emperor's ears, the emperor is afraid that he will be angry.

The case of Lizhi's murder was because the murderer had surrendered, and there was almost no suspense Xu Qingchang cleared the charge, but Zhang Song was not ready to let them go when they gathered to go to the Qinglou.

"According to the laws of the current court, those who have official positions in the court should be punished for three months when they go to the Qinglou." Zhang Song patted the shocked wood and announced the verdict, Xu Qingchang's face suddenly turned pale.

I knew that Zhang Song didn't give anyone face in the capital, and no one had used the rules of the Qinglou for a long time, but here in Zhang Song, the laws are the laws and regulations, and they can't be changed.

In the current dynasty, unless the emperor personally came forward, Zhang Song would not show favoritism.

Xu Qingchang almost sat on the ground, arrogant, and his preference for beauty was known by the emperor, and he was afraid that he would have no hope of promotion in his life.

He really didn't expect that he would be so unlucky, after Zhang Song announced the verdict, he directly asked everyone to retreat, Xu Qingchang left Jingzhao Mansion and was still thinking, why did he fall into Zhang Song's hands?

In the general's mansion, Chu Nanyue heard about Xu Qingchang's incident, and couldn't help laughing, this is really what Tanglin Shuo will do.

At this time, Chu Nanxin came out of the palace, and she came to the general's mansion in a hurry, her face full of atmosphere.

Chu Nanyue asked Qingshuang to bring herbal tea to Chu Nanxin, and Chu Nanxin said angrily: "I know what the king of Bei'an did when he went to the Qinzheng Palace!" ”

"Do what?" Chu Nanyue's right eyelid jumped, and she always felt as if something bad was about to happen.

Chu Nanxin drank all the herbal tea, and then calmed down: "He! ”

She came to the general's mansion with a breath of anger, and when she saw Chu Nanyue at this time, she didn't know what to say, if Chu Nanyue knew that Dongling Shuo was going to withdraw from the marriage, how sad would she be?
