The small voice penetrated the eardrum, and the startled Li Qingyou suddenly came to his senses, and his first reaction was that the man in the brocade robe was here again.

"There's a burglar in the house." The boy stood on the edge of the kang above Li Qingyou's head, pointed in the direction of Dongli, and motioned for her to get up and follow him.

In the east room, two men with five big and three thick fell to the ground, motionless.

Li Qingyou almost didn't sit on the ground, and looked at the boy in a trembling voice, "This, this is dead, dead?" ”

Not to mention that four people died in this house in a few days, and these two people died here, and she couldn't get out of it.

The boy shook his head and whispered, "Just passed out." ”

As he spoke, he motioned for Li Qingyou to follow him, squatted in front of the two, pulled out a silver needle at the back of their heads, probed under the noses of the two, and nodded at Li Qingyou.

Hearing that there were no dead people, Li Qingyou's heart relaxed a little, and he forced himself to get up and come to him, and tried to follow the boy's example, although his breathing was weak, he was still alive.

At the same time, she could see the faces of the two clearly through the faint light of the oil lamp, one of them was a famous ruffian in the county, named Liu San, and the other she didn't know.

Immediately afterwards, the boy took Li Qingyou to the back window, pushed open the half-hidden window, and there were two footprints extending to the backyard wall outside.

Thinking of two men sneaking into the house in the middle of the night, and he didn't realize it, Li Qingyou was scared for a while.

"You did it?"

It's incredible.

The boy nodded, and after a moment, he spread out his palm under Li Qingyou's puzzled gaze, and there was a black tube on it. If it were modern, Li Qingyou would think it was a ballpoint pen.

"It's called Lotus Flower." The boy pointed to the tail, "This is the mechanism, press it and it will produce a silver needle, and the needle has a strong sweat medicine on it." ”

This is a type of hidden weapon, similar to a hidden arrow, which he uses for self-defense.

"Then ......" Li Qingyou opened his mouth, what now?

It is impossible to destroy the corpse, and the person is not dead, so she doesn't dare to kill it, and maybe she will come back next time, and it is impossible for the two of them to get the two adult men out without being noticed.

Then there's only one way left—

"Report to the officer." The boy hung his head, his voice small, staring at his toes.

Li Qingyou was obviously also a little moved, "It's ......"

Shen Sangongzi may still be in the county government, and this child's enemy is also likely to have something to do with the government, and the token on the waist of the man in the brocade robe is obviously owned by the government.

The boy seemed to see Li Qingyou's concern, and then knelt down and kowtowed in her exclamation, "Grace to save my life, I won't bother my sister again." ”

After saying that, he stood up and walked out.

The weak body should have grown up happily under the care of his parents and elders, but he was ready to face the unknown storm alone, and he said a word.

"You're back." Li Qingyou stepped forward and grabbed the boy, took him to the Xili room, rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, found the cotton clothes he was wearing before and handed it to him, "Put it on." ”

The boy didn't know why, but he obediently took it and dressed it, and then was taken to the pigsty by Li Qingyou.

Boy, "......"

So, he drilled into the donkey shed in the morning and into the pigsty at night?

Immediately afterwards, I saw Li Qingyou pull him between the pigsty and the firewood, and took down some firewood, only to see a small door below.

This is the Li family's vegetable cellar, where some cabbage and radishes are stored in winter, and there is a large vat piled up in the corner, which is pickled sauerkraut.

"You hide here for a while." After Li Qingyou finished speaking, he went back to hug the quilt, dragged two wooden boards, and half-spread the quilt on the wooden board, "You can't make an open fire in the vegetable cellar, I'll lock the door later, and you will come out when I come back." ”

A flash of hesitation flashed in the boy's eyes, fast to the extreme, and then nodded obediently and walked in, burrowing into the quilt and lying down.

If Sister Qingyou betrayed him, then he would also admit it, she saved this life, and he should return it to her, and he would have nowhere to go.

Li Qingyou didn't know the twists and turns of the bear child's thoughts, so he quickly got everything done, locked the door, and returned the firewood pile to its original place, and left the house without seeing the vegetable cellar from the outside.

When I walked to the county office, it was already early in the morning, and in the morning light, the county government was towering and forested, and the official in charge of guarding the door didn't know where to hide.

Li Qingyou took a deep breath, strode over, picked up the drumstick, and swung it hard.

Knock knock!

The thunderous drum beat through the front yard and smashed into the ears of the county magistrate, and he sat up with a startled spirit, and shouted to the door before he opened his eyes, "What's wrong?" ”

The little guy hurriedly ran in, "My lord, someone is beating the drum." ”

Drumming?

The county magistrate breathed a sigh of relief, his straight back also bent down, and his half-closed eyes closed again.

In the past two days, the county magistrate has been trembling, Zhengxiang, who slept the night before, was awakened by a group of fierce gods, opened the city gate overnight, and waited carefully.

Yesterday, the third young master of the Shen family, the grandson of the teacher, came to visit, although the other party was a white body, he, the county master of the two lists, did not dare to slack off, and offered it like an ancestor.

Finally, these two groups answered correctly and left, and there were not long-sighted Diao people to complain, which is really not long-sighted.

"My lord, it's a murder."

The little girl's words completely drove away the sleepy insects, and the county master was in good spirits, so he immediately freshened up and changed his clothes and went to the hall to ask about the case.

When he saw the two "corpses" brought by the officials back to life after being splashed with cold water, the county magistrate slapped angrily, "Bold Diao Min, didn't you say that there was a life case, why did you die and come back to life?" ”

The grandson who has been pretending to be for two days, the county master is full of fire and has nowhere to sprinkle, this will meet a complaint, but he will not be angry.

"The folk girl doesn't know." Li Qingyou moved his knees, "The folk girl was awakened in the middle of the night, and saw these two people lying on the ground of the house where the folk girl's father and mother lived when they were alive, and there was no life, and the folk girl thought they were dead, so they came to beat the drum and report to the official." ”

The county master will be much more sober, and take a closer look, isn't this Li Qingyou, whose parents hanged themselves for no reason a few days ago?

Why is she again?

There are no traces of fighting at the scene, no enemies, no damage to money, no emotional entanglements, neither vendetta, nor love killing, nor robbery, he is still the first time he has encountered such a strange case after being a county magistrate for so many years.

The only adopted daughter has alibi evidence, so naturally she can't wronged a good person, so she can only be sentenced to hanging, but this doesn't mean that he doesn't have doubts in his heart.

Doubts are doubts, and the case is still tried.

As a result, the two thieves were more blindfolded than him, and before the two of them entered the house and searched for them, they felt their heads buzzing, and then they fell unconscious, and when they opened their eyes again, they were lying in the lobby drenched with water.

After the county magistrate sat on the public case, the sun was shining outside, and the sky was bright above his head, but his back was cold......
