Fighting is fighting, life has to go on, and Li Qian really doesn't want to affect his normal life for this little thing. Therefore, in the trial of Zhao Peng's case, he rarely intervened in person.

In fact, if there were no accidents during this period, the outcome would have been predictable.

At the end of summer, the weather in Jiangnan is still very hot, and you can sweat when you move your body slightly, which is really not a good weather that can make people diligent.

So, Li Qian also stayed at home with peace of mind, moved a rocking chair to the shade of the trees in the courtyard to cool off, and of course two personal maids were indispensable to his side.

However, Li Qian found that since he rescued them, the two of them have changed a lot, and in front of his young master, who has no fight, he has become more and more "presumptuous", and occasionally plays tricks on him and is coquettish------

In this regard, Li Qian actually did not have any disgust, on the contrary, he was very pleased with the changes of the Zijin sisters. After all, although he has integrated into this era, it does not mean that the original concept of a modern person has been completely discarded.

In his heart, Li Qian still rejects this kind of "clear hierarchy" and "respect and humility". There is never a shortage of women who are obedient and obedient to men, although there are "fierce women", but there are really not many, otherwise those buddies who are afraid of their wives will not be "famous in history" because of this.

Right now, Li Qian couldn't bear Zipei's repeated requests, and lay on the rocking chair and lazily talked about their favorite fairy tales------

This is not unpaid, every time it comes to the wonderful part, Li Qian will deliberately stop for a while, and then the two of them will know the meaning of the song when they hear the strings, Zipei will stuff a spoonful of chilled watermelon full of juice into his mouth in a timely manner, Zijin will pour a glass of the same chilled grape wine and hand it to him, Li Qian will drink it all in one gulp, and then he will smack his mouth and continue to speak------

"The prince is finally married to the girl------"

"And then?" Zipei couldn't wait to ask, and the sister and the silly girl on the side also looked at Li Qian with a nervous face.

"And then, and then it's gone!" Li Qian's gaze swept over the three of them, smiled and blinked.

"Oops! Young master, you are too bad, the story is only half told, and it makes people feel like a cat scratching in their hearts! Zi Pei didn't follow it now, grabbed one of his arms and kept shaking, "Hurry up, young master, just talk about it quickly!" ”

The little girl didn't give up, and her coquettish appearance looked very cute, Li Qian really couldn't stand such an offensive, so he had to speak again and talked about the follow-up part of the fairy tale "Mermaid".

"On the ship back home, the mermaid princess was hiding in the corner and weeping sadly, when the voices of her sisters came from the sea: 'In order to save you, we will go to the witch, and exchange our hair for this sword, and you will use it to kill the prince, and put the prince's blood on your feet, and you will turn back into a mermaid------ you must muster up the courage to do it, or tomorrow morning you will become a bubble and die.' ”

"The mermaid was very hesitant in her heart, although her beloved prince had married another woman, she still couldn't bear to do anything to the prince, but fate had little time left for her."

"Eventually, in the middle of that hesitant and helpless night, she made up her mind, and slowly walked into the prince's chamber while he was asleep------

"Yikes!" Zipei couldn't help but exclaim, "Did she still decide to kill the prince?" The prince died at the end? ”

"Of course not." Li Qian shook his head with a smile, and then said: "Looking at the prince's peaceful face when he was asleep, the mermaid couldn't do anything, and finally left sadly------

"Then she must have another way to turn back into a mermaid, right?" Zi Pei looked at Li Qian expectantly, Zi Pei and the stupid girl also had the same expression, and a few pairs of clear and smart eyes revealed a little apprehension.

"Guess?"

"She's ------ she's still turned into bubbles------" Zipei said, her eyes couldn't help but start reddening, and then tears burst out of her eyes. And Zijin and Silly Niu were already very uncomfortable listening to it, and at this moment, her emotions were so infected, so she also cried a lot------

This situation really made Li Qian speechless, is this the legendary "glass heart"? Or is it a "girl's heart"?

Look at this posture, if you don't know, you must still think that how did this "well-dressed beast" bully them------

After watching a passing maid in the distance hurriedly glance over here, and then ran away like a frightened rabbit, Li Qian sighed helplessly in his heart, and said in his heart Fortunately, what I told you was not a "black fairy tale", otherwise I don't know what to become today.

It was easy to persuade the three little girls to flow backwards, and after the crying stopped, Li Qian said weakly: "That's it, I'll tell you another one, this time we won't tell the story of the prince and princess, change it to a funny one." ”

The three of them didn't speak, they just looked at him with sad eyes, obviously wanting to listen again, but they were worried that Li Qian would say another tragedy.

Li Qian cleared his throat and said casually: "Once upon a time, there was a eunuch. ”

He sat up straight, lifted the flask on the table next to him to fill himself with a glass, picked up a piece of snack with his hand and put it in his mouth, and then half lay back on the rocking chair with the wine glass, and tasted it slowly, but he didn't speak again.

The three of them pricked up their ears and waited for a long time, but when they saw that Young Master Li seemed to have finished the story a long time ago, they couldn't help but look at me, I looked at you, with a suspicious expression.

"Young Master, what's going down there?"

“------”

Li Qian almost didn't squirt out a sip of sake, and said in his heart that you don't play cards according to the routine, the following is below, what's the matter with the word 'young master' in front of it?

"Ahem------ there's no more down there!"

"How could it be gone------ Zi Pei's little head tilted, his mouth bit his index finger lightly, his face was full of doubts, and he turned his suspicious gaze to Li Qian for a moment.

"Young master, is there really no more below?"

“------”

------

------

Zhao Peng's case is still pending.

Although there is a direct identification of the three murderers, it is determined that he is the mastermind behind the scenes, but if you want to confirm the crime of hiring a murderer and kidnapping people of the Zhao family, the strength of human evidence alone is obviously not enough. The so-called physical evidence, that is, the money they got from the Zhao family, was falsely accused by Zhao Peng of theft------

After all, there had indeed been a case of thieves hiding in the Zhao family late at night, and Li Qian also personally led people to surround the Zhao family in the name of this reason------ which was barely reasonable, although the official sent to search later, and did not find the "thief".

Therefore, in the absence of strong evidence and the inability to use criminal punishment, the Qiantang County Government was unable to convict Zhao Peng of the crime for the time being. So from beginning to end, Zhao Peng was in a state of personal freedom, and Wang Zhixian could only treat him as a suspect involved in the case, which was also a helpless thing.

In the face of all kinds of pressure from the higher-level yamen, Wang Zhixian felt more and more that this case was extremely tricky, and if it dragged on indefinitely, I am afraid that many variables would arise for no reason.

Until this moment, he still didn't know what kind of medicine Li Qian was selling in the gourd this time------ in fact, whether it was the previous division and co-optation, helping him to take charge of the third class, or the current Zhao Peng case, Li Qian's plan for any step was not revealed before the action, and it was normal for him not to see through.

However, out of great trust in Li Qian, Wang Zhixian resolutely withstood the pressure from all parties and insisted on arraigning Zhao Peng.

However, the case is not without progress, for example, in the first trial, the Li family sent a steward to confront Zhao Peng in court, suing the other party for abducting the Li family's maids, causing the Li family to lose tens of thousands of taels of silver------ no need to ask, this is asking for mental damages.

Zhao Peng is not stupid, he doesn't believe that Li Qian is running for money in this lawsuit with him, otherwise he would not have spread rumors to slander the Zhao family. He was sure that as long as he dared to admit this crime, the other party's serial killing moves would follow one after another, and the Zhao family would inevitably face a catastrophe.

As expected, after he denied the facts of the crime, the enemy's follow-up came.

After the verbal battle, the Li family immediately threw out the witnesses, who were the three murderers who had already confessed.

In this regard, Zhao Peng disdained it and still denied his crime, so the Li family threw out physical evidence again------

I don't know what's going on, Zhao Peng vaguely felt that Li Qian didn't seem to be in a hurry to convict himself, the case was retried in the first instance, but it was clear that it couldn't shake the Zhao family in the slightest------ it stands to reason that he was the one who wanted to delay time the most, why Li Qian was calm and relaxed, and he didn't even show up from beginning to end, what was he waiting for?

Time will tell Zhao Peng the answer, but before that, he once again received a summons from the yamen to let him pass through the court.

------

Sitting on the rocking chair in the courtyard, facing Zipei's repeated questions and the inquiring eyes of the young silly girl, Li Qian really felt distressed, because he really didn't know how to answer such a question.

That connotation joke, he just said it casually, who would have thought that there would be a situation where the little girl broke the casserole and asked the end? Even when he spoke, he forgot to take into account such a minor ------ well, in fact, the three of them are underage.

"Why do you ask so much?" Li Qian glared at Zipei fiercely, and said angrily: "If you don't understand, just play, the little girl's family, there are still a lot of problems------"

Zipei pouted, her heart full of grievances.

Bad young master, stinky young master! I haven't been so fierce before, but now that I'm famous, those people outside are scrambling to enter Li's house, and you start to dislike people talking too much------

She really didn't expect such a small question to make Li Qian "angry", so after being reprimanded for a while, the more she thought about it, the more sad she became, and she only felt that her young master was starting to hate herself------ woman, and she liked to think crankily by nature.

felt aggrieved in his heart, and tears also unconsciously welled up, and soon overflowed his eyes, and he just stood there with his head down and didn't say a word.

"Uh------"

Seeing this, Li Qian swallowed the words that came to his mouth again, in fact, he really wouldn't say anything serious, but he didn't expect the little girl's heart to bear it was so fragile.

At the height of the rocking chair, Li Qian could clearly see the pitiful appearance of tears rolling in her eyes, although she did not look up.

My heart tightened unconsciously, and I quickly eased my face, and said with a dry smile a little unnaturally: "Cough, Zipei, you asked this question very well just now, but what ------about it?"

After muttering for a long time, he couldn't come up with a suitable reason to prevaricate the past, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Men, they are really cheap bones!" ”

When he raised his eyes inadvertently, he caught a glimpse of a "ill-intentioned" gaze secretly looking at his crotch------ and following that gaze, what he saw was Zijin's slightly red pretty face.

"Huh?"

Li Qian was slightly stunned, and then a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he was happy.

"But, heh, your sister knows this story, go back and let her tell it to you!"

"Young Master------" Zijin's face changed, and he instantly flushed with shame, and suddenly turned around and ran away, leaving only the three people in place to stare at each other.
