The front yard of the Qin family was brightly lit, and many people gathered in the courtyard, gathering in groups of three or five to discuss in a low voice, and Li Hongqing's matter had already awakened the Qin family.

On each of the three trees on the south side of the courtyard was a young man with a blue nose and a swollen face, dying, whose bare upper bodies were covered with whip marks, and their skin was covered with flesh and blood.

These three unlucky young men are Li Honggan and his two accomplices, although Qin De sent someone to invite Li Renhe, but the suffering of the three of them is inevitable, after all, the three of them behaved badly, and they deserved these hardships.

Compared with Li Hongqing, his two accomplices are really unlucky, and they originally wanted to follow Li Hongqing to take advantage, but they didn't take advantage of the advantage but folded themselves in, it can be said that they want to cry without tears, and now it's too late to say anything.

Especially the guy who stabbed the gardener with a knife, his actions not only involved the attempted rape of a folk girl but also intentional homicide, and he could be beheaded in combination with the circumstances of the case.

Qin De sat in the living room expressionlessly, what happened tonight was too unexpected, he never expected that Li Hongqing would be so bold as to want to insult Qin Yue, it was really hateful.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Li Renhe walked into the courtyard surrounded by several Li family members, and his brows suddenly frowned slightly after seeing Li Hongqian and the three of them tied to the tree.

Li Renhe is now very annoyed in his heart, Li Honggan is simply eating the courage of an ambitious leopard, and even dares to fight his niece's idea.

But then again, as the patriarch of the Li family, he can't fall into the trap of Li Hong, otherwise it will inevitably cause criticism from the clansmen.

"The patriarch saves me, the patriarch saves me, I was wronged!" After Li Hongqing heard the footsteps, he tried to open his swollen eyes like steamed buns, saw Li Renhe through the gap in one of his eyes, and hurriedly shouted loudly.

"Shut up!" Immediately, a strong man standing on the side whipped his head and face, and Li Hongqing screamed miserably and immediately became honest, obediently closed his mouth, and a long whip mark appeared on his face.

Li Renhe glanced at Li Hongqing, who was beaten to an inhuman shape, and then walked into the living room, he did not sympathize with Li Hongqing in his heart, thinking that Li Hongqing deserved it.

"Brother-in-law." Qin De got up to greet him, bowed slightly behind him and said, "Disturb my brother-in-law's rest." ”

"How can I sleep when this happens, Yue'er is fine, right?" Li Renhe waved his hand to Qin De and asked after sitting down on the chair next to him.

"Yue'er is fine, but she was frightened a lot." A smile appeared on Qin De's face, fortunately, Qin Yue's call for help at that time attracted the attention of the people in the courtyard, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

At this moment, no one cared who the woman with a shrill and strange voice who called for help at the beginning was, anyway, there were three maids serving in the courtyard, and in the eyes of the outside world, she must be one of them.

What is especially important is that Li Hongqing and the three were arrested red-handed, and everyone's attention was attracted to the three of them, so no one would care about some details of the call for help.

"What are you going to do with this?" Hearing that Qin Yue was fine, Li Renhe couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and asked Qin De quietly, wanting to ask Qin De's opinion.

"Do according to the law!" Qin De had already thought about how to answer, so he replied in a deep voice, he hated Li Hongqing and the three of them in his heart.

"Brother-in-law, although the three of them deserve death, Yue'er's reputation is still the most important." Li Renhe knew that Qin De now hated Li Hongqing and the three of them extremely much, so he muttered for a while and said in a low voice, "Once this matter is leaked, Mingyue's reputation will be ruined." ”

"My brother-in-law has a point." Qin De was stunned for a moment when he heard this, he had been angry and had neglected such an important matter, and then looked at Li Renhe with a frown and asked.

"The top priority is to keep Yue'er's name." Li Renhe saw that Qin De's attitude softened, and whispered his thoughts, "In my opinion, it is better to treat them as burglary, so that they will be punished and Yue'er's reputation will be saved." ”

"That's great!" Qin De couldn't help but nod when he heard this, this is the best way now.

"Dad, where are those three bastards, who dare to bully the second sister, see if I don't incite them!" At this moment, an angry voice came from outside the door, and I saw a group of young people walking into the courtyard gate, led by a young man about twenty years old, with a drunken face and an extremely angry look on his face.

This angry young man is Qin De's eldest son, Qin Yi, who is now twenty years old and helps Qin De take care of the family's business.

"Take their pants off!" After Qin Yi entered the door, he saw Li Hongqian and the three of them tied to the tree, and knew that the three of them were the thieves who tried to rape Qin Yue, so he took out a short knife from his arms and shouted at the young man who followed behind him.

Hearing this, the young man who followed behind Qin Yi immediately rushed up and pulled off the pants of Li Honggan and the others.

"Help, help!" Li Hongqian and the three of them didn't want to be eunuchs, so they were so frightened that they shouted for help.

"You bastard dare to beat my second sister's idea, Lao Tzu will make you a man in the future!" Qin Yi walked quickly to Li Hongqing, who was panicked and called for help, and slashed at Li Hongqing's lower body with a knife.

"Stop!" Seeing this, Li Hongqing was immediately frightened, and when he saw that Qin Yi was about to raise his knife and fall, a voice called out to him.

"Dad, this dog thing actually bullied the second sister, I must incite him this time." Hearing this, Qin Yi looked at Qin De, who was standing at the door of the living room, and said with red eyes.

"How do you know that he bullied Yue'er?" Qin De's face suddenly became very ugly when he heard this, and he asked quietly.

"This dog thing originally brought three people to our house today, one of them flinched and stayed outside to wait for news, and then this dog thing was taken down by the incident, and that person went to Mingyue Tower to report the news, and now the whole Mingyue Building knows his idea of beating the second sister."

Qin Yi burped and said with an angry face, "A beast like him will definitely harm other women if he doesn't incite it!" ”

"What?" After learning that the people in Mingyue Tower knew that Li Hongqing wanted to **** Qin Yue, Qin De's face suddenly became very ugly, which meant that this matter could not be covered at all.

"Patriarch, he is still young, please let him go and give him a chance to change." Before Qin De came back to his senses, a group of people rushed in outside the courtyard gate, led by a middle-aged man, who looked anxious and said to Li Renhe, who was standing behind Qin De.

This middle-aged man who pleaded for mercy was Li Hongqing's father, Li Renwu, and the children of the Li family who were looking for joy were naturally indispensable in Mingyue Tower, and some of them were close relatives of Li Hongqing who had not come out of Wufu, and after learning that Li Hongqing was caught by the people of the Qin family, he hurriedly reported to Li Renwu.

Li Renwu was taken aback when he learned of this, he naturally knew the seriousness of the situation, and in order to save Li Honggan's life, he hurriedly sent someone to invite the elders of the Li family to intercede.

Seeing Li Renwu and several clan elders Li Renhe's brows furrowed tightly, Li Renwu's move can be described as an out-and-out failure, this is a weathering incident, naturally the less people know about it, the better, his words make such a fuss make things have no room for maneuver at all, even if he wants to help Li Honggan exonerate him, there is no excuse.

"Oh?" In the study, Li Hongyu couldn't help but feel quite surprised when he learned that Qin Yi, Li Renwu and others appeared, then shook his head and muttered, "Providence, this is completely Providence!" ”

Li Hongyu didn't know that Li Hongqing brought three people tonight, and one of them stayed outside the courtyard wall because he retreated, and then publicized the matter.

In fact, Li Hongyu had already expected that Li Renhe and Qin De were likely to conceal this matter, after all, this matter was related to Qin Yue's reputation, so he had already arranged it and was ready to poke out the matter of Li Hongqing touching Qin Yue's boudoir in the middle of the night tomorrow.

Now that someone has helped him do this, not only does it save him a lot of trouble, but it is also more effective than him spreading the news, and it will not arouse suspicion from the outside world.

"Sister Rou'er, you go to the front yard and keep an eye on it, and tell me the latest progress of the matter." Subsequently, Li Hongyu asked Rou'er standing in front of him in a deep voice.

Now that Li Hongqing has stabbed out the matter of entering Qin Yue's boudoir in the middle of the night, then Li Renhe will definitely interrogate Li Honggen next, and Li Hongyu must grasp the process of interrogation as soon as possible, so that he can respond.

Rou'er bowed her head slightly and left quickly, in her opinion, Li Hongyu's plan tonight was perfect, Li Hongyu could be said to have won all the stolen goods this time, even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he couldn't wash it.

"Don't blame me, you brought it on yourself." After Rou'er left, Li Hongyu couldn't help but sneer in his heart, Li Hongyu was simply looking for death, if he hadn't deceived people too much, Li Hongyu would not have set such a trap for him.

In the living room in the front yard, Li Renhe, Qin De and several elders of the Li family sat down on the seats on both sides, because Li Honggen was a child of the Li family, so how to deal with Li Honggen needed to be discussed by everyone.

Li Renwu did not have the qualifications to sit down, so he could only stand outside the door with an anxious expression and wait for the result of everyone's discussion.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of this matter?" The atmosphere at the scene was a little dull and depressing, Li Renhe took the lead in breaking the silence in the field, took a sip of the teacup on the side, and asked the elders of the Li family quietly.

"Patriarch, the old man thinks it's better to hand this matter over to the yamen for trial." One of the clan elders groaned for a moment when he heard this, and looked up at Li Renhe, and several other clan elders nodded their heads in agreement when they heard this, and now that Li Honggen's matter has been spread, there is nothing they can do about it.

In the final analysis, the case committed by Li Honggan was too inferior and committed a taboo, which made it difficult for the clan elders to intervene in it, and there was no way to reconcile.

If it were changed to a short family and a fight or something, the clan elders could be peacemakers, but this matter is related to Qin Yue's reputation, do they want them to cover up Li Honggan who touched Qin Yue's boudoir in the middle of the night in this matter?

"What do you mean?" Li Renhe saw that the clan elders had reached a consensus, so he looked at Qin De, and now it was obvious that he could not suppress this matter, otherwise God knows what ugly rumors would be outside.

"That's it." Qin De's face changed a few times and then nodded, of course he didn't want things to make a big fuss, but now there was no other way but to return Qin Yue to justice through the yamen, and only in this way could he block the gossip on the market.

Li Renwu's eyes suddenly darkened when he heard this, his body shook and he almost didn't fall, he knew that Li Hongqing was finished now, and the clan would not protect Li Hongqing in this case.
