When he opened his eyes again, it was already dawn, the room was filled with the fragrance of medicine, Li Qing only felt a splitting headache, his whole body seemed to fall apart, and he couldn't move at all, he twisted his neck hard, only to see the lotus flower squatting in a corner, quickly fanning the fire medicine, she felt something, turned around, but saw Li Qing's panda-like two black blue eyes looking at herself, the lotus was overjoyed, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Childe can wake up!" ”

Li Qing swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and just wanted to ask, but was interrupted by a coquettish smile from the lotus: "Childe must want to ask, how did you come back?" Originally, I couldn't drag it alone, but it happened that Zhang just came back, so we carried Gongzi back together. She put on a posture of dragging a pig, couldn't help laughing and bent over, and suddenly thought of carrying him to chuang, he touched his body, and couldn't help blushing and giving him a blank look.

"Does Madame know?" Li Qing lost a tooth, and his voice was muffled, as if it was a little leaky.

"Not yet, but Zhang Lu has come and invited Lang Zhong, saying that you have a skin injury and will be raised for a few days." She looked back at the sky and said, "When the sky is bright, Zhang Lu will naturally go to report to Mrs. ”

Li Qing saw that her eyes were red and swollen, knowing that she had cried, her heart was slightly moved, although she was a little flowery, but she was warm and sincere to people, if she hadn't shouted in time last night, I am afraid that she would really not be in the Tang Dynasty.

"Do you see the murderer?"

Lotus's smile suddenly dimmed, she recognized one of them as the cook in the house, and the others may be the splashes on the street, the cook was brought by the second lady to marry, and he was Zhang Fu's confidant, and the reason for this is self-evident.

"There seems to be Zhang Xi." After a moment's hesitation, she spoke up.

Li Qing sneered in his heart, not to mention that he also knew that Zhang Fu did it, I am afraid that Zhang Bailing's concubine is also involved, and those eyes full of resentment appeared in front of his eyes.

The sound of hurried footsteps came, the door was pushed open suddenly, and Mrs. Zhang rushed in like a gust of wind and fire, followed by Zhang Yuanwai, panting, and her sideburns were already sweating.

"It doesn't matter to you!" She saw a smile in Li Qing's eyes, and her heart lowered slightly.

"Fortunately, it didn't take long, thanks to the timely arrival of the lotus girl, this saved her life." The lotus had retreated to the door and was about to leave quietly, but when Li Qing mentioned her name, she had to stop.

Mrs. Zhang frowned, lifted a corner of Li Qing's quilt, and after a closer look, she exclaimed: "My old son, how can you be so vicious!" "But seeing the bruises and black purple, extending from the waist and abdomen to the legs, coupled with the yellow and white plaster, it seems to be a little heavier than the dying disease.

Mrs. Zhang was angry in her heart, and when she turned around, she stared at the lotus, her eyes were as sharp as a knife, and she asked, "You say!" Who did it. ”

"I—I didn't see clearly, they all ran into the woods, as if they weren't from our house."

Lotus felt weak for a while, she looked down and secretly glanced at the master, seeing that his face was gloomy and silent, she was even more frightened in her heart, and she didn't dare to tell the truth.

Mrs. Zhang's eyes closed slightly, but the subtle expression of the lotus flower did not hide her eyes, and she sneered in her heart, remembering the incident of the previous night.

"Sir! Not to mention that Li Gongzi is our guest, just the incident happened in our house, and we are also duty-bound, the meaning of the concubine, this matter has to be reported to the official! ”

"Report to the officer!" Zhang Yuanwai was confused for a while, he didn't know what it had to do, he just felt that the official seemed to be making a bit of a fuss, but the family was in charge of the wife, and the lady discussed with him, but it was just to give him some face in front of Li Qing.

"Yes! It's okay to catch the murderer, and they have to pay for this medicine. ”

Yilong County County Commander Liu Suifeng for the twenty-second year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty into the Shike B, first in the Sinong Temple for a few years as a Lingtai Lang, and then entrusted people to get the real lack of this county order. This promotion was actually realized by him that his life is reasonable: his back to the big tree is good to enjoy the shade, and in the officialdom, he must first have a backer. When he arrived in Yilong County, he hit the idea of Xian Yu's family in the neighboring county, although he was separated by a county, but didn't the sister-in-law of the Xian Yu brothers marry into Yilong County?

On this day, Zhang's family went to the yali to report the case, Liu Suifeng did not dare to slack off, and personally came to Zhang's mansion to handle the case, but learned that it was the young master's Xixi who was beaten to injury, just outside the back door of Zhang's mansion, the murderer had escaped, Liu Suifeng immediately understood that this was a headless case, although there would be no result, but the attitude must be correct.

"Did Li Gongzi miss anything afterwards? I'm talking about gold and silver ornaments or money and the like. ”

"I have a lot of money?" Li Qing promised in his mouth, but his eyes kept looking at the first Tang Dynasty county official he saw, only to see that he was wearing a curtain on his head, wearing a light green silk cloth and a silk robe, and a silver belt around his waist.

Since there is a lot of money, it can be seen that the other party is not here for money, it can only be for love or hatred, Liu Suifeng saw that Li Qing's demeanor was steady, his eyes were clear, and there was no slightest frivolity, so he first eliminated the possibility of this resentment, and he pondered for a moment and said: "I don't know if Li Gongzi has recently made an enemy?" ”

Li Qing asked the idea between listening to his words, secretly admired in his heart, picked his eyes, first gave Mrs. Zhang a look, pointed to Zhang Yuanwai, Mrs. Zhang understood, and pulled her husband out.

"I haven't been in Zhang's Mansion for many days, but I have made an enemy,......

Li Qing briefly told Liu Suifeng about his feud with Zhang Fu and Zhang Yuan's concubine, and finally said: "It wasn't until last night that the lotus girl recognized the cook Zhang Xi among the murderers, and I knew that his hatred for me was to the bone, and even wanted to take my life. ”

Liu Suifeng's face was full of spring at first, and then his smile gradually faded, and his face showed a little disdain, and when Li Qing finally asked him to be the master, his eyes were already full of coldness, and his face was extremely unnatural.

"It turns out that this person was a Taoist boy a month ago, and I don't know what he can do, but he was hired as the west seat of Zhang's mansion." Liu Suifeng heard that he was from a humble background, so he had a little contempt, and the person he wanted to sue was actually a concubine outside Zhang Yuanwai, Liu Suifeng knew a lot about the Zhang family, and naturally understood that Mrs. Zhang wanted to take advantage of this matter to get rid of the second lady, but this family affairs have been difficult to break since ancient times, and if he intervenes, he may not be able to please in the end.

But no matter how much he was afraid that his wife would be unhappy, he glanced at the lotus flower, and saw that her eyes were flickering, and she was restless, so he had a plan in his heart.

"There is no physical evidence in this case, you are the only witness in this case, you can say it now, but when you go to court, you have to sign and draw the charge, I will talk about the ugly words first, if you make perjury, the crime can be far greater than the case itself, if you don't do it, you will not enter the workshop, you have to think clearly."

Lotus is complaining that Li Qing said Zhang Xi without her consent, and now she heard the county order so threatened, her heart was already terrified, she secretly glanced at Li Qing, and saw that he was looking at herself with eager eyes, but her heart was cold, Zhang Cai said that she was an amorous woman, but not bad, amorous is not watery Yang Hua, with modern medicine to explain that it may be excessive hormone secretion, there is a young and delicate man around him, it is easy to be attracted, want to be in love, and love each other wholeheartedly, but this kind of love comes quickly, went quickly, and in just a few words from the county official, the Nth love fire of the lotus was extinguished.

At that moment, she knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "The little woman also just came back from watching the lanterns outside that night, and happened to see several black-clothed men beating Li Gongzi, one of whom was tall and fat, very similar to Zhang Xi, the cook in our house, but the lights were dim at that time, and I was scared, so I couldn't see his face." ”

"Wait! Lotus, didn't you tell me that you clearly saw that he was Zhang Xi? Li Qing couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the lotus suddenly change his words, he glanced back at Liu Suifeng, and saw a trace of pride flashing in his eyes, and then he had an epiphany in his heart.

Lotus's face turned pale, her head was buried deeper, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito: "I'm sorry! Li Gongzi, I just said that he was like Zhang Xi, not that he was Zhang Xi. This image and harmony are just one word difference, and the meaning is completely different.

"Huh! Since the lotus girl is not sure, although this Zhang Fu has the motive to buy the murderer, but there is no evidence that he is the mastermind behind the scenes, although the case is small, but the legal principle is the same, Li Gongzi, I can't do anything. ”

Li Qing smiled lightly and said: "The so-called Sai Weng lost his horse, I don't know the blessings and misfortunes, my small difficulties today may be able to avoid the big danger in the future." Lotus girl, thank you for taking care of me these days; Lord Liu, thank you for coming to listen to my noise, I'm a little tired, if you don't have anything to ask, please go and talk to Mrs. Zhang about this matter. ”
