Chapter 11 "Fire" again

The county master doesn't believe in strange powers, although the affairs of the Li family are weird, but this does not mean that it is the power of gods and ghosts, he feels that these two thieves are fooling him.

"Dare to disrupt the people, dare to fool this official, really dare to come to someone, and punish these two people for thirty years." The county magistrate was furious, especially when he recognized that one of them was Liu San, who often caused trouble, and was even more angry, "Beat hard." ”

As soon as the startled wood fell, the officials below immediately pressed the two thieves to the ground and crackled on the board, and the public hall was full of ghosts and wolves.

The officials have a saying about playing the board, and they are generally afraid of staining the eyes of the county lord and pull them down to the second hall to beat, if they secretly stuff some silver money into the executing officials, they can beat them lightly, and the degree depends on the amount of money given.

But you can't bluff in the court, not to mention that the county master still lets you beat it hard.

Within a few clicks, blood was seen, and the two big men couldn't bear it, and they scrambled to confess. A bite not only revealed that it was Zhang San instigated by Li Er's leprosy, but also clarified the identity of another thief, who turned out to be a thief from Qingfeng Village, called Qi Liu.

Is this worth it?

The county magistrate took the two into custody on the spot, but the case was not over, and how Zhang San and the thieves fainted have not yet been interrogated.

There was no reason for the two big men to be restrained by a little girl, and all three of them said that they had never fought with each other, and they didn't even see Li Qingyou before the two thieves passed out.

"My lord, this girl must have used sweat medicine to turn the two of us upside down." The more Qi Liu thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, otherwise it would be too unreasonable.

The county magistrate also thinks so.

"The folk girl didn't." Li Qingyou naturally didn't admit it.

After biting to no avail, the county magistrate found Qi Zuo and two Lang Zhong to check Zhang San and Qi Liu, and sent officials to search for Li's house, but found nothing.

The drug was not established, but the two thieves fainted for no reason, which is really daylight.

The county magistrate frowned and looked at the three people in front of the hall, he was also from a big family, and he knew very well that there were some pickling methods in the courtyard of the deep house, and some spices could charm the mind through the sense of smell.

But that kind of spice is very expensive, and it is not at all something that a folk girl can afford, and ordinary sweat medicine must be imported to work, and no matter how stupid these two thieves are, they will not be able to run to someone's house to be drugged.

It's really mysterious and mysterious, but it can't be written like this in the file, the case must be closed, and people can't find fault with it.

"That's you, a demon girl, using witchcraft...... the two thieves began to talk nonsense.

The case has basically settled now, Li Qingyou has nothing to be afraid of, looking at the two of them and sneering, "Maybe you hit your head, I don't know." ”

Bumped into the head?

The county magistrate's eyes lit up, and he looked at Li Qingyou's eyes and said that the son could be taught, and the verdict was pronounced in the court: "...... Although you two attempted theft, they have accumulated a lot of cases, and they do not want to repent, and they are imprisoned for 10 years as an example. ”

The closing file reads: Zhang Sanqiliu entered Li's house at night drunk and burglarized, and he was arrested after being knocked unconscious in the dark house.

The reputation of the two stupid thieves spread out and became a joke on the streets.

But some people don't think so, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is impossible, so there is only one possibility left: Li Qingyou made a mistake.

As a result, Li Qingyou followed the two stupid thieves and "became popular" again, and almost everyone in Qingshan County knew about it.

Li Qingyou didn't care about this, she was now worried about what happened to the unlucky child in the vegetable cellar, although it was not very cold inside, but the child was sick and still injured.

At the same time, I also remembered what happened in the court just now, Zhang San said that it was instructed by Li Erlezi, Li Erlezi is hateful, but this also shows a problem, the Li family has not given up.

You've got to figure out a way.

As he walked, Li Qingyou's eyes lit up and he had an idea......

By the time Li Qingyou went home, it was already past noon, closed the door and quickly entered the house and looked around the front and back of the house to make sure that there was no one before running to the vegetable cellar.

The semi-underground cellar was black and hollow, filled with the uncomfortable smell of damp mold and rotten leaves, just like a boy's suppressed heart.

Even if he had prepared for the worst, his whole body was still full of uneasiness and fear, which came and went up and down with the arrival of the previous officials.

Just as he was waiting for the third arrival of the servant, the light drove away the darkness, the fresh air swept away the strange smell, and Li Qingyou appeared at the door of the vegetable cellar in the glow of the sun.

The boy's heart was also tense to the extreme.

From fear, to the calmness of the dust after the fear, to the loss when I saw Li Qingyou, and the relief when I saw the worry in her eyes, the ups and downs seemed to be the end of a lifetime.

It wasn't until he was brought back to the house by Li Qingyou and a cup of hot tea was stuffed in his hand that the boy finally determined that Li Qingyou came back alone.

She didn't betray him.

The nerves that had been tense for most of the day suddenly relaxed, and he gasped for air.

"What's wrong?" Li Qingyou was startled, how did she know the boy's mental journey, and thought that he was suffocated in the vegetable cellar.

The boy shook his head and threw himself into Li Qingyou's arms, soaking her clothes with physiological tears mixed with tears from her heart.

He couldn't explain what he thought he was.

He was accustomed to the darkness of human nature.

He was treated as a pawn in the game and power by his closest relatives, regardless of his safety and wishes, he was powerless to resist and could only accept it indifferently.

The boy cried very quietly, not the kind of wow-la-wow-la-woe, so he silently shed tears, shrugged his thin little shoulders, and Li Qingyou's heart melted when he cried.

Her mood is also very complicated, knowing that this child is a trouble, although she can't bear to drive him away, she doesn't have any psychological burden, but after experiencing last night, she can't do it calmly.

Thinking of the thoughts that flashed on the way back, Li Qingyou made a decision in his heart.

She took out one of the few experiences she had in her previous life to coax her little niece, and rubbed the hairy head in her arms, "Don't cry, be good." ”

The girl's gentle movements, soft voice soothed the boy's fragile heart, he shook his head and rubbed the palm above his head, and after a while, his emotions finally calmed down.

Looking at the boy's catly face, Li Qingyou wiped the remaining tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, "Go wash your face, I have something to tell you when I come back." ”

The boy's eyes were wet and foggy, he blinked twice, nodded obediently and ran out.

Li Qingyou also calmed down, the past two days have been more exciting than when she first knew that she would cross, but unfortunately she didn't like it at all, and she was afraid that she would die young if she came twice.

A moment later, the boy ran back, and as soon as he sat down in front of Li Qingyou, he heard her say, "What are you going to do next?" ”
