Looking at each other through the night, Zou Manshan looked up and recognized Shen Qi, and she pounced.

In silence, Zou Manshan burst into tears in Shen Qi's arms, and cold tears soaked his chest.

Then Shen Qi saw that she was tired of crying, and asked her why she came to the county seat in the middle of the night, only to find out that it was Jin Qiangzi who sent someone to burn down her house in the middle of the night.

"What a Jin Qiangzi who doesn't know life or death, after dawn, I will teach you to repent of not being at the beginning!"

Shen Qi was furious when he heard this, and immediately thought that they must have also gone to burn down their own courtyard.

Just when Shen Qi was extremely angry when he learned the news, Li Qinggang in the back rushed over.

"Shopkeeper, you're scared to death for me, I thought you were ghosted!"

As soon as Li Qing finished shouting, he heard Zhang Yaowen coming from the night, and he greeted from afar:

"Shopkeeper Shen, I heard that a girl is looking for you, and the county has come to greet you in person!"

Listening to his words, Zou Manshan, who was hugged by Shen Qi with an arm, burst into tears and smiled, and looked at Shen Qi shyly with a pair of tearful eyes.

Shen Qi was overjoyed when he saw this, and he could secretly grasp Jin Qiangzi's big handle.

So he told Zou Manshan what he had conveyed, and Zhang Yaowen was immediately furious.

"The Jin family is so bold, I'll order someone to arrest their whole family now!"

Regarding Zhang Yaowen's words, Shen Qi hurriedly stopped:

"Zhang County's order is not to panic, we can quietly escort that group of people back to the county office overnight, and wait until noon to open the court to catch them off guard. ”

Shen Qi's suggestion was very right, Zhang Yaowen thought about it and felt reasonable.

Therefore, under the arrangement of Shen Qi and Zhang Yaowen, Li Qinggang took a group of officials to Xianghua Village and Zou Jiaao to bring the arsonists back to the county government and detain them, and interrogated them overnight. In addition, Zhang Yaowen issued a gag order, who dares to say a word about this matter, and hit three hundred boards, which is enough to kill a person.

In this way, Shen Qi took Zou Manshan back to Shengda Bookstore first, seeing that it was dark, he arranged for Zou Manshan to sleep in his room, and he continued to concentrate on completing "The First Moment of the House".

After the sky gradually brightened, Shen Qi found Li Qinggang and asked him to go to the county jail to write a letter to the head of the group of arsonists, and then handed it over to him in disguise and sent it to Jin Qiangzi.

At this time, Jin Qiangzi was watching at the gate, worried why the people sent out had not come back yet, and he saw that Li Qinggang, who was wearing a big beard, couldn't recognize him at all.

"The villain came in from outside the city, this is a letter from several masters who entrusted me to send to the Golden Mansion, please take it. ”

Li Qinggang pretended to be a countryman to present the letter, and Jin Qiangzi was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly rewarded Li Qinggang with a piece of silver, and then took the letter and read it carefully.

He learned from the letter that this time the arson operation was very successful, and Shen Qi's father and father-in-law's entire family were burned alive, but Zhang County, who learned of the situation in the morning, blocked the city gate and ordered a strict inspection of the inside and outside of the city, so the little ones could only hide outside first.

When Jin Qiangzi saw this completely fabricated letter, he laughed treacherously and viciously, and cursed Shen Qi in his heart that he would not die well, and he would have to find a way to make him suffer in the future.

After Jin Qiangzi read the letter, Li Qinggang, who unexpectedly got a silver ingot, was overjoyed, and ran to the place where he placed a bet to bet on this ingot of silver, all of which pressed Shen Qi to win.

Shen Qi's side was still writing quietly in the study, and some servants outside had already gotten up and were busy, waking up Zou Manshan, who was sleeping next door to the study.

"Brother Qi. ”

Zou Manshan came to Shen Qi first thing when she got up, she looked at Shen Qi's figure, and obviously felt that she had lost a lot of weight during this time, it seems that it is not easy to prepare for Shengda Bookstore.

"Sister Shan, you're awake. ”

Shen Qi woke up from the state of writing, and when he saw Zou Manshan, he put down the brush and greeted him, and the two faced each other, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Yo, the shopkeeper is really blessed, this little lady is really amazingly beautiful!"

Just as the two of them looked at each other affectionately, Liu Hanchang and Liu Yichuan, the four brothers and sisters who got up outside one after another, surrounded the door, and they saw Zou Manshan's slender back and felt that she was really a good girl, and her quiet beauty and gentle temperament were born with her. They knew last night that their cousin Liu Huilan's daughter was here.

Seeing this, Liu Cuiru hurriedly interjected, and said proudly:

"Shopkeeper, this shows that the girls of our Liu family have been passed down from generation to generation are all great beauties, you have to cherish them. ”

Shen Qi took Zou Manshan's white and tender little hand and walked to the door, Zou Manshan understood the identities of the four people clearly, and said a little timidly:

Shan'er saluted her uncle and aunt. ”

After recognizing each other, Liu Changtai was soon alarmed, and their family of three flocked to Shengda Bookstore and pulled Zou Manshan back to their house to drink tea, leaving Shen Qi alone in the courtyard and deep in thought. He was hesitating to fall to the ground and kill such a scourge as Jin Qiangzi.

At this moment, Master Wang Huairui came, entered the backyard and said anxiously:

"The father and son of the Jin family can't wait, they rushed to the county office early in the morning and asked to open the court now, the county magistrate has agreed, what are you not ready for?"

This Jin Quanguo and Jin Qiangzi knew that Shen Qi and Zhang Yaowen had an excellent relationship, and they were worried that the opening of the hall at noon was to facilitate Shen Qi's preparations, so they unexpectedly asked to be promoted to the hall early in the morning.

Shen Qi has a gold medal for avoiding death, what else do you need to prepare, and there are a few people who were caught last night, which can make the Jin family's father and son difficult to argue.

So he smiled mildly:

"Master Wang, don't worry, it's okay to ascend to the hall now. ”

In this way, the news of the Jin family's father and son's request to be promoted to the court now spread, and a large number of people gathered at the gate of the public hall to watch, and the place where the bets were placed was even more lively.

"Ascension!"

After everyone arrived, after the process that should be taken was completed, Jin Qiangzi, who was in court with Shen Qi, pointed to his nose and said viciously:

"Do you have any quibbles about suing you today for burning down my Jinling Bookstore? Do you have any objection to demanding compensation of 370,000 taels of silver?"

Jin Qiangzi and the others put forward human and physical evidence, and Shen Qi seemed to have fallen into an extremely passive situation.

Zhang Yaowen, who was sitting in the high hall, was wearing court clothes, staring at Shen Qi below, not knowing what he would say, even the master Wang Huairui, who was sitting on the other side, was looking at him seriously.

Shen Qi swept the father and son of the Jin family who were eyeing him at this time, and instead of answering Jin Qiangzi's words, he pretended to be interested and mocked:

"Jin Gongzi, does the six characters on your face still hurt?"

After that, the men, women and children blocking the door stared at Jin Qiangzi's cheeks, and someone shrank in the crowd and laughed:

"I recognized it, and those six words were 'self-inflicted, and you shall not live'!"

Being laughed at by so many people, Jin Qiangzi blushed, waved his hand angrily and shot back:

"Hmph, please answer my question, don't think that if you drag it out, you won't be able to compensate 370,000 taels of silver!"

In the face of Jin Qiangzi's aggressiveness, Shen Qi was still not ready to give them color, and continued to calmly say to Jin Quan Guodao beside Jin Qiangzi:

"Master Jin, as a father, do you have any last words to Ling Gongzi?"

Originally, this was also a ridiculous remark, but Jin Quanguo and Zhang Yaowen both noticed that there were two words in Shen Qi's words, last words.

Jin Quanguo was immediately frightened and his body weakened, and he couldn't help but kneel down in front of Shen Qi and said:

"Shopkeeper Shen raises his noble hand and spares his life!"

Jin Qiangzi, who was confused by his father's words and was bent on how to embarrass Shen Qi as much as possible and made Shen Qi suffer, suddenly noticed the word "last words".

He was startled at first, and then shouted with a hideous expression:

"The surname Shen, you'd better recognize the situation, today you will definitely lose in the court, even if you have a deep friendship with the county commander, it won't save you!"

"Smack!"

As soon as Jin Qiangzi's words came out, Shen Qi showed a trace of anger, and a palm slapped Jin Qiangzi's face like lightning, and in the loud slap, Jin Qiangzi's cheeks were red, and the whole person fell into a state of being driven crazy.

"Dare to hit me, I'll fight with you!"

Jin Qiangzi became furious, suddenly snatched the big knife from a servant, and swung it to slash at Shen Qi's head.

"Presumptuous, stop him!"

Looking at the messy public court, Zhang Yaowen was also furious, and the shocked wood was slapped on the table.

Then the official next to him rushed over and grabbed Jin Qiangzi, but he had the strength of the second stage of the pen, and after some struggle, he threw away the five officials who were hugging him one after another, and the big knife in his hand slashed at Shen Qi's head again.

At the last moment, Shen Qi was still motionless, and when he stared at Jin Qiangzi opposite with cold pupils, he suddenly kicked over.

With a bang, this kick hit Jin Qiangzi's chest, kicking him to the ground, and the big knife in his hand was snatched by Shen Qi who pounced on him at some point.

"You treacherous man, you don't even know when you die!"

Shen Qi subdued him and put a sharp big knife on Jin Qiangzi's neck, the son of the Jin family was lying on the ground and wanted to struggle, but found that Shen Qi had stepped on his chest, and the strong force directly broke several of his bones.

"Wow Wow ......"

Jin Qiangzi was immediately seriously injured, and a large ball of blood spit out of his mouth, and Jin Quanguo next to him couldn't bear it anymore, and his anger was monstrous.

"Shopkeeper Shen, I have always been polite to you, I didn't expect you to treat my strong son like this, besides, this is above the public court, do you still have the county magistrate in your eyes, and the law of the Qing Dynasty?"

The angry Jin Quanguo almost couldn't help but make a move, but his words caused a discussion among the onlookers, and even Zhang Yaowen in the high hall couldn't sit still, Shen Qi really didn't follow the rules to treat Jin Qiangzi like this.

But before Zhang Yaowen could stop him, Shen Qi kicked away the seriously injured Jin Qiangzi, and the bright big knife pointed directly at Jin Quanguo's chest and sneered:

"Haha, Master Jin said as if he had occupied the moral high ground, but I, Shen Qi, had become a rude person, don't forget, everything was caused by you, although I have no evidence, but I can make it clear in front of everyone, the three heroes of the Douwen Gang were invited by the Jin family to oppose me, and finally burned down the Jinling Bookstore, it was just you who lifted the stone and shot yourself in the foot!"

After speaking, Shen Qi was murderous, so frightened that Jin Quanguo had no fighting spirit, Zhang Yaowen and Wang Huairui were also extremely uneasy, thinking that Shen Qi was going to kill the Jin family's father and son on the spot.
