I am Changsheng in Daqin

Chapter 27 Stifling
Since the last complementation of yin and yang, Li Qing's skill has improved again, and his vision and hearing have also been strengthened.

Looking around, the visual distance from here to the big tree is about 180 meters.

At such a distance, Li Qing could count how many dead branches were used to build the magpie's nest, not to mention the children under the tree.

Li Qing never expected that the fat yamen servant's eyesight would be so outstanding!
The perspective just now is absolutely impossible for ordinary people.

'Could it be that... he is also an advanced practitioner! '

Thinking of this, Li Qing couldn't help but glance at the fat yamen officer.

It was this unintentional glance that made him notice that the county magistrate was using lip-reading skills to have a secret conversation with the fat yamen servant.

Although Li Qing didn't understand lip reading, he could tell from the changes in their expressions that they were plotting something evil——

The county magistrate seemed to be forcing the fat yamen servant to accept his suggestion.

The fat yamen official seemed to be hesitating, but was stopped by a look from the county magistrate.

The fat yamen officer nodded in agreement.

While Li Qing was thinking secretly, Haitang came over and whispered:
"Brother Qing, the county magistrate told the fat yamen official that after you reveal the answer, he will send someone to maim one of the children."

Li Qing was surprised: "You can lip-read?"

Haitang nodded: "What are your plans?"

Li Qing glared at the county magistrate—this bitch is so damn vicious!

In this world, Li Qing just wants to live peacefully with his family.

Unexpectedly, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn’t stop!

He never thought that innocent children would be involved in this competition.

If he wins, he will offend not only the fat yamen servant, but also the entire county yamen.

If he loses, Xuan Tie will certainly have a way to keep him from finding him, but there will never be peace in the days to come.

However, no matter whether he wins or loses, as long as the competition continues, an innocent child will inevitably be involved.

It seems that the only way is to nip the hidden danger in the bud.

Li Qing whispered a few words into Haitang's ear.

Haitang nodded understandingly and turned around.

At this time, the fat yamen officer patted Li Qing on the shoulder: "Brother, let's start."

Li Qing smiled calmly, cupped his hands to everyone present, and said, "Everyone, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint everyone in this round."

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing why.

The fat yamen servant was confused: "What do you mean?"

Li Qing pretended to be uncomfortable, rubbed his eyes, and said, "It may be that my eyes were strained too much in the last round, resulting in poor vision. This round... I give up."

"Admit defeat?"

The fat yamen officer and the county magistrate looked at each other in astonishment.

The other government officials were also confused.

When Li Qing once again expressed his decision to admit defeat to everyone, the fat yamen officer suddenly said:
"Are you giving up now? It hurts your eyes. This is a reason, but it is not sufficient.

"For those who don't know, you think I got a bargain for nothing. You might even say that you were forced to admit defeat because you were afraid of offending the county government. Do you doubt that my strength is not as good as yours?"

Li Qing glared at the fat yamen officer and said in a deep voice, "What do you want?"

"Compete as usual, compete."

The fat yamen officer said word by word.

Li Qing ignored him and turned away.

"If you want to leave, there is no way."

The fat yamen servant strode forward and grabbed Li Qing's shoulder.

Li Qing lowered his shoulders, turned around, and got rid of the shackles of the fat yamen servant.

The fat yamen officer was furious and was about to attack Li Qing again. Suddenly, sorghum fell from the sky and scattered like rain.

In this year when food was more important than money, everyone was ecstatic when they saw sorghum raining down from the sky.

The county magistrate was overwhelmed by the swarming crowd and even got trampled.

The fat yamen officer looked confused and stood there at a loss.

Li Qing took out his slingshot while everyone was lowering their heads to grab food. Whoops, a sharp pebble penetrated the fat yamen servant's Adam's apple like an arrow.

puff!
The fat yamen servant fell down in the crowd who were frantically grabbing food. His face was ferocious and he was breathless.

In this way, Li Qing, in the sea of ​​people, only used this second to kill people invisible.

In Li Qing's opinion, this is the simplest and most direct way to solve the problem.

Li Qing had no intention of killing anyone.

The moment he learned that the county magistrate and the fat yamen servant were conspiring to harm innocent people.

He decided not to coddle them anymore!

Haitang and Li Qing cooperated perfectly. While scattering the last bag of sorghum, they took the slingshot thrown by Li Qing and left quietly.

At the same time, Li Qing leaned down and pretended to pick up food.

An unknown amount of time passed before the thin yamen officer found the fat yamen officer who had already died in the surging crowd.

"People are killed, people are dead!"

The thin yamen servant screamed so heart-breakingly that everyone realized belatedly and stepped aside in fright.

"Who died? What happened?"

The county magistrate was swept several feet away by the crowd. When he staggered over again, several government officials were already surrounding the body of the fat government official.

The county magistrate rushed over to take a look and was shocked: "What...what is going on? How did he die? Who did it?"

Everyone was as silent as a cicada and retreated one after another.

The thin yamen officer grabbed Li Qing and asked sternly: "Is it you?"

Li Qing pushed the thin yamen servant away violently, and retorted: "Did you take the wrong medicine, or did you see me kill someone with your back eye?"

The thin Yamen servant was speechless and speechless.

The county magistrate glared at Li Qing and said coldly: "You are the only one here who has the motive to kill."

Li Qing smiled bitterly: "Where does my motivation come from?"

"The two are competing. Naturally, they are at odds with each other. There will be conflicts. Someone comes and takes Li Qing to the county government and tortures him severely."

After the county magistrate finished speaking, he turned to leave. Li Qing shouted loudly: "Slow down!"

The county magistrate turned around and said angrily: "Li Qing, do you dare to resist arrest?"

At this time, Li Yuanshi and Li Yue ran over and said in panic: "What happened? Qing'er, did you get into trouble again?"

"Mom, it's okay, don't worry."

Li Qing simply appeased Li Yuanshi, then turned around and argued with the county magistrate:

“Catch a thief and take away his dirty laundry, catch an adulterer and catch a couple, human life is at stake, and we must rely on truth and evidence.

"If you say I killed someone, fine, show me the evidence.

“As long as the witnesses and physical evidence are there and the detailed process of my murder can be described, I will have nothing to say and will just let it slide.

"If you want to incriminate someone and deliberately frame him, I will plead my case even if I go to the King of Qin."

"This... this..." The county magistrate was speechless.

Li Qing snorted and continued: "If I am really the murderer, and everyone has been at the scene from beginning to end, ask them, who saw me commit the murder?"

The county magistrate frowned angrily: "They are all grabbing food, and they don't have time to watch you kill people."

"You shouldn't be short of food, right? You should have time, right? Have you seen it?" Li Qing asked three times in a row.

"I...I..." The county magistrate was so angry that his thoughts were confused and he didn't know what to say.

"You are speechless. It seems that no one present saw me kill someone."

After Li Qing said this, he shouted to the people: "Fellow folks, have you all seen me kill someone?"

Everyone did not respond loudly, but shook their heads and whispered, indicating that they did not see it.

Li Qing came to the county magistrate and said again: "Yes, there will inevitably be conflicts between the two of us, but don't forget, in the second round, I gave up because he was unyielding and aggressive.

"If I had a grudge against him, I would naturally take advantage of the victory and pursue him in the competition, leaving him completely defeated. Why should I admit defeat?"

The county magistrate sneered: "Who knows what kind of medicine you are selling in your gourd?"

"The reason why I admit defeat is based on the principle of competition second and harmony first. If the two sides draw, wouldn't everyone be happy?
"As the head of a county, don't you want to see a peaceful atmosphere in the place under your jurisdiction?"

When Li Qing said this, he once again incited people's emotions: "Fellow folks, do you think I am right?"

Everyone said in unison: "Yes, Li Qing is right."

The county magistrate was speechless by Li Qing. He turned around and scolded the government officials: "You are eating official food and holding monthly gifts, but you fart and all of you are mute?"

All the government officials said in unison: "It was such a chaos that we didn't even see clearly what was going on."

Li Qing said in an angry tone that he would not pay for his life: "Master County, there is the emperor above, the earth below, and there are so many fathers and villagers in the middle who can testify. Moreover, your elder brothers also said that they did not see me committing the murder. Can we go away, look at the day, it's already dinner time."

The county magistrate was so angry that he puffed his beard and glared, and said angrily to all the government officials: "This county has disgraced you all. Go back to the county government and wait to receive twenty big boards."

All the government officials knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Anyway, people have been killed here. Dare to kill people under the nose of this county. It's lawless. No matter who the murderer is, this county will never let it go!"

The county magistrate glared at Li Qing, got into the carriage, and left angrily.
