Yang Qiuchi's words were very kind, his head in the grass pile moved, and he slowly raised his head to look at Yang Qiuchi: "You...... You said...... Is it true? ”

"Yes, you can leave a last word, if you still have any requirements, as long as the official can do it, the official will help you do it as much as possible."

Yun shook his head, struggled to his feet, and sat cross-legged.

Yang Qiuchi asked, "I still want to ask, did you really kill Wang Dianshi?" ”

Yun was stunned and looked at Yang Qiuchi with great difficulty: "The sealing documents have been ordered, is it still useful to say this?" ”

"yes, it's a death anyway, so it's okay to talk about it."

A sneer appeared on Yun Suan's face: "If I say that I didn't kill it, do you believe it?" ”

"Believe!" Yang Qiuchi nodded, "As long as you have evidence to prove that it was indeed not you who killed you, I can find out." ”

"Evidence? I have blood on my hands, blood on my knife, I was caught red-handed, what other evidence do I need? ”

Yang Qiuchi frowned: "So, Wang Dianshi was indeed killed by you?" ”

Yun was stunned and slowly lay back on the grass pile, ignoring Yang Qiuchi again.

Yang Qiuchi was a little angry, and he kindly asked him to see if he had no grievances, but he was impatient, it was really boring. Yang Qiuchi stood up and walked away.

Out of the prison, Yang Qiuchi stood up again, thought about it, and asked the cell leader to lead him to see Yun Tianqing's father, the owner of Miao Village.

As you can imagine from the name, this Yun Tianqing should be a big man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, but he didn't expect that after meeting, he couldn't get anything to do with it. This Yun Tianqing was just a small old man, with a white beard, triangular eyes, and wrinkles on his face like pine bark. He sat on a haystack with a wooden flail and chains.

After Yang Qiuchi introduced himself, he asked, "Yun Tianqing, why did you lead people to attack the yamen?" ”

Yun Tianqing heard that Yang Qiuchi was a newcomer to the county, but he didn't expect him to become a seven-rank county magistrate at such a young age, and he guessed that he might have spent money to buy an official. He pursed his lips and said in somewhat stiff Chinese: "My son was framed by someone and made a trick, of course I want to bring someone to ask you for someone." ”

Yang Qiuchi patiently asked, "How do you know that your son was framed?" He was caught red-handed. ”

"I believe that my son will not kill people like this, he wants to kill this Wang Dianshi, he can kill him as early as when Wang Dianshi comes to collect grain in Miao Village, why should he go to the yamen alone in the middle of the night to kill it."

When Yang Qiuchi heard this, he was slightly stunned: "I heard that your son has some grudges with Wang Dianshi, what is going on, can you tell me?" ”

"Say? What's the use of saying those? Yun Tianqing roared: "My son has been sentenced to death by you, what else is there to say!" ”

Yang Qiuchi's fire was rising, and the father and son didn't know what to do. turned around and was about to leave, but in the end, he still suppressed his anger and said: "Yun Tianqing, this official is here to verify that you are the owner of Miao Village." Tell you, the court has sealed the documents, and your son will be tied to the court to be beheaded within three days! ”

Yun Tianqing slammed up, drove the iron chain to rattle, he threw himself on the fence, grabbed the fence with both hands, and asked in surprise, "What did you say?" Are you going to kill my son? ”

"He killed Wang Dianshi, set fire to the yamen, violated the king's law, and should be beheaded for his crimes!"

"Fart! This is a false accusation, someone has framed my son! Yun Tianqing was angry and anxious, grabbing the fence with both hands and shaking violently, "You dog officials! I know how to oppress our Miao people! Dog officer, if you dare to kill my son, I will kill you to take revenge! ”

Yang Qiuchi was furious and shouted, "Hey! Figured it out? Killing people to pay for his life, repaying debts, a matter of course, cutting off his head is what he deserves! You dare to threaten with this, if you have any tricks, just use them to see if this official can catch it! Hum~! Yang Qiuchi walked out of the cell with his sleeves brushed up, and the scolding of Yun Tianqing behind him was endless.

Yang Qiuchi was so angry in his heart, he kindly came to check if there were any grievances, not only received Yun Tianqing's stunned eyes, but also scolded Yun Tianqing for no reason. It's really an infamous thing.

Yang Qiuchi huffed back to the inner office and sat in the living room sulking. Qin Zhihui and Song Qing didn't know what was wrong with Yang Qiuchi, and they didn't dare to ask more. Instructed the maid to make a cup of tea for Yang Qiuchi.

Slowly tasting the fragrant tea, Yang Qiuchi's anger gradually subsided.

At this time, the porter Zhang's mother came in and said, "Master, the housekeeper outside the county's people, Li Chengming, and Li Dayuan is visiting." I'm waiting in the Yamen Flower Room. ”

Yang Qiuchi was a little strange, yesterday he beat up Li Chengming's porter Wang Ke, he once sent a housekeeper here, and his attitude was very good at that time, and he also announced that the porter Wang Ke would be dismissed and driven out of the Li family. What do you now send a steward for?

Yang Qiuchi came to the flower room with his attendant guards, and the housekeeper was the same housekeeper who came yesterday. When the housekeeper saw Yang Qiuchi, he took out a big red invitation card from his arms, stepped forward and knelt down, and said: "Master, our master admires the master very much, and he specially prepared a thin wine tonight, and I want to invite the master to enjoy the light." ”

"Oh, you're so kind." Yang Qiuchi took the invitation and said with a smile.

The housekeeper said: "Our lord and our Huguang Qian political envoy are old friends, I received a letter from the political envoy before, saying that you are a friend of the political envoy of the county, let our lord do his best to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, so our lord specially set up a family banquet, and specially invited the lord and his wife to come to the banquet, and the two families will also come to the banquet in the future. ”

Oh? It turns out that this Qian Bu political envoy has already said hello, no wonder this Li Chengming had such a good attitude yesterday, it turned out that he knew that his backstage was my buddy. It's just that I didn't expect his porter and niece and son-in-law to hit my three fires, of course, he wanted to tear up and kill Ma Jian to please me, hehe, this Li Chengming is quite good at being a man.

Bringing your wife to a banquet? Madame diplomacy? It seems that this Li Yuanwai not only entertained himself, but must have revealed a little news that he was a person with great background, so this Li Yuanwai deliberately curtailed himself and engaged in some kind of lady diplomacy in order to draw in the relationship between the two families.

Yang Qiuchi touched his chin and thought to himself, Mrs. diplomacy is Mrs. diplomacy, but Xiaoxue, the first lady, is not on duty, and she is filial piety for herself in Wuchang, so she can only take a concubine.

Yang Qiuchi nodded and agreed: "Go back and report to your master, just say that this official and my wife will come to visit the Zunfu tonight." ”

Sending off the housekeeper, Yang Qiuchi returned to the living room of the inner office, and Qin Zhihui and they were all there. Yang Qiuchi told him about it, and then said with a smile: "Two ladies, your grandmother is not here, this official will take you to the banquet tonight." "Bai Sumei hasn't just passed the door, and she has a hot filial piety, so this trip will be skipped.

Song Yun'er felt very uncomfortable, she really wanted to be one of them, but her father was a five-grade Tongzhi, she was a young lady, and she wanted to be a concubine for Yang Qiuchi, which was a bit difficult, and besides, Yang Qiuchi had never mentioned this at all, how could she say it as a girl, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, she simply stomped her feet and turned around and went back to the room.

Yang Qiuchi knew what Song Yun'er was thinking, but what could he do? It turned out that it was okay to say, as long as her father Song Tongzhi nodded, he was willing to let Song Yun'er be his concubine and marry Song Yun'er, but now the situation is different, her master Liu Ruobing was taken away by her own confusion, and now the situation is not so simple, and more problems need to be considered.

Liu Ruobing has never come out of the back garden all day, her surname is indifferent, she doesn't like to be lively, and she won't go out of the back garden without anything.

Qin Zhihui and the others had already seen the matter between Song Yun'er and Yang Qiuchi, and they also knew the difficulties of this matter, so it was not easy to say anything to Song Yun'er now, so they could only let it develop.

Qin Zhihui was born in Yahuan, and when she was a Yahuan in Old Man He's house, she had seen this kind of lady's diplomatic scene a lot, but she didn't expect that one day she would become the protagonist, and she was happy and nervous. said: "Husband, Zhihui doesn't understand anything, I'm afraid that I won't be able to speak and embarrass you." ”

"What can't speak? Didn't you mean it? Yang Qiuchi said with a smile, "Besides, your husband and I are the county magistrate, and I am the ...... of Jinyi, this ......, anyway, they are the only ones who slap you, you don't have to say anything deliberately." Hehe. ”

Song Qing took Qin Zhihui's hand and said, "Sister, don't worry, if the two of us are afraid of saying the wrong thing, then just bring our ears, just listen and not speak." ”

Qin Zhihui felt that this idea was good, and nodded happily, knowing the bottom of her heart.

That night, Nangong Xiong took the guards to Li Chengming's house to conduct a security check and set up a guard, and then reported that Yang Qiuchi could set off.

Yang Qiuchi and the two concubines sat in a sedan chair, with the personal little maid Yuechan and Hong Aya, and the attendant Changfu, under the protection of Nangong Xiong and Xia Ping, they set off for the banquet in a majestic manner.

Li Chengming's Li Yuanwai family is just a rich man in this small county, although it is not as good as Mi Yuanwai, or even as good as Hao Yuanwai, but it is also a well-known big family in Yuanzhou, this town, and it is a well-known family, and it is a person from a high background, with fame and wealth.

Li Yuanwai's house is luxurious in terms of scale, not to mention this small Qingxi County, even in the entire Zhenyuan Prefecture, no one can beat it. Yang Qiuchi and his party came to the Li Mansion. This Li Mansion is full of lights, it is really like celebrating the New Year. Li Yuanwai had already been informed, and took his eldest son Li Ying, second son Li Jie, and a large number of wives, concubines, and daughters to greet him personally at the gate.

Yang Qiuchi got off the sedan chair, and the squad leader introduced Chang Fu that the old man in the middle was Li Chengming, who was outside Li Yuanwai. Yang Qiuchi took a good look and was still a little impressed.

This Li Yuanwai is in his fifties, half of his head is bald, chubby enough to weigh about 200 pounds, he has a big belly, he greeted him with a smile, and arched his hand: "Thank you Lord Yang for coming to the cold house!" Li brought his dog to greet him. ”

Li Yuanwai's son Li Ying and second son Li Jie are talented, twenty or thirty years old, thinking of themselves as juniors, and kneeling and kowtowing. Those sons and daughters also knelt down and kowtowed, and the wives and concubines saluted. Yang Qiuchi hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Ying and Li Jie, and beckoned everyone to get up.

At this time, Hong Aya helped Song Qing get out of the sedan chair. When Li Ying and Li Jie saw the charming and delicate red silk, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they were stupid.
