Chapter 30 Snack
The county magistrate's carriage stopped in front of Li's house, once again attracting crowds of people.

Outside the gate, Li Qing, Li Yuanshi and Haitang lined up to salute and greet the county magistrate.

The county magistrate glanced at her, his face darkened, and said, "As far as I know, you have a baby girl at home, why didn't you come out to greet the county?"

When Li Yuanshi became nervous, his voice suddenly closed.

Li Qing said hurriedly: "My little sister is sick and can't get up from the bed. I hope the county magistrate will understand me."

At this time, the two government officials who were responsible for keeping Li Zhai under house arrest were finally awakened by other government officials.

The two of them knelt in front of the county magistrate's carriage, kowtowed like garlic, and kept begging for mercy.

The county magistrate was helped out of the carriage by the housekeeper. He glared angrily and scolded harshly: "I asked you to perform official duties, but you are so good that you fell asleep and fell unconscious. Someone..."

The housekeeper hurriedly leaned into the ear of the county magistrate and whispered: "Master, image, your image!"

"You two get out of here and I'll deal with you later."

The county magistrate gritted his teeth. After finishing speaking, he looked sideways at Li Qing, smiled narrowly, and ordered: "Come here, get Li Qing for me."

Two government officials rushed up and without any explanation, tied Li Qing's shoulders with chains.

"Qing'er..."

"Brother Qing..."

Li Yuanshi stared in fear and almost fainted. Fortunately, Haitang held her up and kept her from falling.

"Which royal law have I broken? Why are you arresting me?" Li Qing resisted.

"The deaths of Mr. Jiang and the fat yamen servant have an inexplicable relationship with you. It can be said that you are the biggest suspect." The county magistrate said sternly.

"Without evidence, you are just blaming others." Li Qing refused to admit it.

Haitang stepped forward and said: "Brother Qing is just a suspect at best. He wants to be punished and needs to produce evidence."

The county magistrate glared at Haitang and said angrily: "The suspect is also a criminal and must be detained. If you want evidence, I will make you satisfied when you get to the county government office."

Li Qing was about to resist, but when he saw the panic in Li Yuanshi's eyes, he couldn't bear to do any more drastic behavior in front of her.

However, it is really not Li Qing's character to be taken away in such a state in front of so many people.

Li Qing closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, frowned, and thought about it.

He straightened up, knocked away the government officials on the left and right, and shouted loudly:

"Everyone pay attention, the magistrate of the county wants to arrest people by force, and he is going to torture him.

“As a county parent, we take people by force in broad daylight and indiscriminately.

"For those who don't know, they think that the county government is full of people with no ability to investigate cases. They only use their power to bully others, randomly arrest a scapegoat, and do the job perfunctorily."

"Shut up, you shut up!"

The county magistrate was so angry that his blood swelled. No one had ever dared to speak so rudely to him in front of so many people.

He wants to get angry, but he is also a person who values ​​his image extremely.

He was very conflicted. He could not tolerate an unruly person speaking nonsense, but he was unwilling to stop him with an iron fist in full view of the public.

It was only after Li Qing understood this that he dared to make such an impassioned speech.

"Li Qing, since you have said this, I will give you a chance to speak. What do you want?"

Although the magistrate couldn't hold back his face, because of his image, he gritted his teeth and asked Li Qing to say the last sentence.

Li Qing is handsome and full of scorn: "Give me a stick of incense and let me go into the house to pack my luggage. Not to mention going to the county office with you, you can just let me stay here until the case is concluded."

The county magistrate did not object to this proposal, not that he had any sympathy for Li Qing, but because he believed that this move could kill two birds with one stone——

Not only was he able to take away Li Qing smoothly, he avoided a lot of trouble; he was also able to establish an image of himself caring about people's livelihood in front of everyone.

"Li Qing, you are really good at it. Master, I came to pick him up personally, but I still had to wait for you for a stick of incense. But I am really in the mood to wait for you today. Go ahead, I will hold the time for you. "

After the county magistrate finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and the servant served the tea cup.

"Mom, wait here, I'll be out right away."

Li Qing took Haitang's hand and entered the room.

The door is inserted and the curtain is opened.

Between heaven and earth, there is only you and me.

"Brother Qing, mother is outside alone."

"It's okay, they are here to catch me, they won't hurt my mother."

Li Qing said and hugged Haitang.

"Brother Qing, at this critical moment..."

"It's even more important to eat at this juncture. I don't know when I can come back. Maybe I won't come back."

"Don't talk nonsense. With your ability, you can definitely come back safely."

"What if you don't come back?"

"I'll tear off the county magistrate's head."

"It has personality, I like it!"

After Li Qing said that, he kissed her.

"Hey, Brother Qing, I...this is...okay!"

The new kang in the west room is flat and strong. The sunlight shines through the red curtains, as if the rays of light are falling from the sky. It can be said to be a blessed place!
This extra meal, Li Qing didn't deliberately count how many mouthfuls he ate, probably around two hundred or so.

Although it was less than a stick of incense, it made Li Qing realize what lasting love is.

"Hey, Brother Qing, why don't you change your clothes?"

"No, just take advantage of a new set of clothes. I have to save them for the New Year. Come on, let's go out."

……

When the county magistrate saw Li Qing coming out from behind the door intact, he asked with a puzzled expression:

"Li Qing, this large group of people have been waiting for you for a long time, but they haven't seen you change clothes or salute you. What on earth did you do when you entered the house?"

"You really want to know?" Li Qing smiled.

The county magistrate was puzzled and nodded.

After Li Qing finished rejoicing, he was in high spirits and said in a Peking Opera accent, very authentically: "Come over here."

'What bad thing has this kid done? Why does he have such a weird accent? '

The county magistrate didn't want to get out of the car, but he couldn't help being curious and couldn't control his legs.

Li Qing had a wicked smile on his face, leaned into the ear of the county magistrate, and said two words in an intoxicating tone - "Bounce, pass!"

When the county magistrate heard this, his eyes widened.

"Hey, this kid is so damn bad! Master, I've been shivering in the wind for a long time, and I dare you to jump in bed..."

The county magistrate couldn't say it at the end. In anger, he smashed the tea cup at the door of Li's house.

Bang!

The tea cup shattered on the ground.

Everyone was shocked and kept silent.

Only Li Qing smiled calmly and said:

"Haitang, please help my mother go back to the house and take good care of her. It's rare that the county magistrate comes to invite me in person. I'm planning to go to the county government as a guest."

"Li Qing, you are so shameless! Today, I am the seventh wife of this county's brother-in-law. I went to pay homage to you, and by the way, I took you, a criminal who killed innocent people. If it was just to arrest you, why would I bother this county? Go out yourself and take it away."

After the county magistrate said this, he turned around and got into the carriage.

At this time, Wu Laoer's mother next door suddenly appeared behind everyone. Looking at this scene, a bewildered smile appeared on her face:
"Li Qing, you are in for a tough fight this time. The county magistrate is not as easy to deal with as Master Jiang. Just wish yourself well, silly boy!"
