I am Changsheng in Daqin

Chapter 33 Punch Cards
This scene shocked the entire county.

The county magistrate was disgraced and his image was completely lost.

Even if Li Qing is in great glory now, the Li family will never have peace in the future...

Including Li Yuanshi, everyone at the scene thought so.

Li Qing can naturally think of this.

But the situation has evolved to an irreversible situation, and he has only one way to go.

He must hold the county magistrate to death.

Only in this way can the family be kept safe.

Therefore, Li Qing took out a black pill the size of a soybean from his arms and forced the county magistrate to swallow it.

"As long as you don't make any mistakes, starting from tomorrow, come and get the antidote every two days to keep your life safe."

The county magistrate said in a trembling voice: "Seriously?"

The county magistrate values ​​three things most in his life - face, life and food.

Now, the face has been lost. Even if Li Qing is cut into pieces in public, it will not change the fact that he has lost face.

As for life, nature is above all else.

As the saying goes: Scholars can be killed but not humiliated.

In the eyes of the county magistrate, this is bullshit.

If your life is gone, how much is face worth?

Therefore, after Li Qing threw the black pill into his mouth, he had completely compromised and bowed his head to Li Qing.

"Don't think about it. We ordinary people don't care about death. Let's see whose life is worth more."

Li Qing said, and pulled the county magistrate's second brother hard again before letting go.

The county magistrate was in so much pain that he wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.

"It's all gone, it's okay."

Li Qing said, jumped off the carriage, rushed into the crowd, and walked towards Li Yuanshi and Haitang.

"Son, how are you? You're not hurt, are you?" Li Yuanshi was frightened.

"Mom, do you think I'm injured?" Li Qing said with a smile.

"Li Qing, if you don't come out, I will almost break into the county government office." Haitang said.

"Don't talk nonsense. Let's go. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it at home."

Li Yuanshi took Li Qing's arm, and the mother and son walked towards home.

The county magistrate sat slumped on the carriage, glaring at Li Qing's back with murderous intent in his eyes.

Wu Laoer's mother was leaning against a dead tree, watching from a distance, and couldn't help but chuckled: "I thought this kid would never come back, but I didn't expect that he really had a few tricks up his sleeve!"

Li house.

Inside the East House.

Haitang brought up the last three sorghum cakes at home.

"Let's eat. I went to the county government office. I must be hungry after tossing around for a long time."

Li Qing picked up a piece of sorghum pancake and was about to put it into his mouth when he saw Li Yuanshi's angry eyes, which were more lethal than the county magistrate's gavel.

He chuckled, handed the pancake to Li Yuanshi, smiled slightly, and said, "Mom, you eat first."

Li Yuanshi was so angry that he didn't know what to say, his head became hot, and he threw out a sentence: "I want to know that you are such a troublesome mother and child, you should be killed by sitting on your back when you were born!"

"Mom, you are pregnant for ten months, are you willing to die once you give birth?"

Li Qing finished speaking coquettishly and stuffed the pancake into his mouth.

"Kick your ass."

After Li Yuanshi finished speaking, he sighed and said again:

"Haitang told me all about it. I didn't expect Mr. Jiang to be so vicious, and the rice he gave us was poisonous! The sorghum is gone, and the rice can't be eaten. These days... Sigh!"

Li Qing said while eating: "Mom, don't worry, I estimate there will be enough food in the next half a day."

Haitang and Li Yuanshi said in unison: "Where does the food come from?"

Bang bang bang!
There was a knock on the door outside.

Li Yuanshi was startled: "You should go ahead and open the door. I feel terrified when I hear the knock on the door."

At this time, Li Yue was already shouting in the yard: "Mom, there are many people here and they have brought many things."

Li Qing, Haitang, and Li Yuanshi went out and saw seven or eight government officials carrying rice into the yard one after another.

"Mom, Brother Qing is right, someone indeed sent food." Haitang said with a smile.

Li Yuanshi thought it was an illusion, rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and said, "Qing'er, what... is going on?"

Li Qing smiled indifferently, and said: "The food that Mr. Jiang sent is not enough, I asked the county magistrate to pay us a share."

Li Yuanshi felt uneasy: "Is this appropriate?"

"If there's anything inappropriate, of course my brother-in-law will wipe the shit out of him."

After Li Qing finished speaking, he directed all the yamen servants to pour all the nine bags of rice into the cabinet.

After the government officials left, Haitang saw another bag at the door of the hall and said inexplicably: "Brother Qing, there is another bag here, why don't you let them put it in together?"

Li Qing picked up the bag of rice and said, "I'm going to Wu Lao'er's house next door. By the way, don't throw away the inedible rice. It suddenly occurred to me that it could be of great use."

……

The murder was calmed down for the time being.

Xincheng County has once again returned to its former peace.

Those who should beg for food still begged for food, and no one who should starve to death survived.

Being alive in this year is God's greatest gift.

It was the first time since Li Qing entered the level that Li Qing was serious about blacksmithing.

It's also because recent events have been happening one after another. I want to study Li's blacksmithing skills, but I don't have time.

There are still two iron hoes and three sickles under his hands, which are not finished.

These are small jobs, almost a day's work.

The most difficult thing is a long halberd. In addition to the fine workmanship, the materials are also very expensive, so there is no room for carelessness.

The guest was not optimistic about Li Qing, mainly because he was too young and could not be trusted.

But in Xincheng County, only Li's iron shop can operate normally.

……

The county magistrate's carriage came slowly.

'This old boy is here to check in. '

"Haitang, take a small spoonful of the rice Mr. Jiang gave you, wrap it up and bring it over."

Li Qing said with a smirk.

Seeing Li Qing's evil smile, Haitang wondered what he was planning and asked casually: "Brother Qing, what do you want to do?"

In fact, what Haitang likes most is the way Li Qingpi smiles.

"Don't ask yet. Send the county magistrate away and I will tell you." Li Qing said.

At this time, the county magistrate had arrived.

"Master Li, I'm here...to get medicine." The county magistrate said with a smile.

"Medicine?" Li Qing said in a funny tone: "This is an iron shop. To buy medicine, you should go to the medicine shop."

"Sir, you see you are so busy, so stop teasing me." The county magistrate had already scolded Li Qing in his heart, but he still wanted to smile.

At this moment, Haitang had brought the wrapped rice according to Li Qing's wishes.

Li Qing handed a small bag of rice to the county magistrate and said casually: "This medicine is made from grains. It doesn't need to be boiled. Just boil it in boiling water and drink it once every two days."

The county magistrate held the small cloth bag in both hands, thanked him profusely, stepped back humbly, then turned around and got in the car and left.

Haitang couldn't help laughing: "Brother Qing, is the county magistrate mentally ill?"

"He must be sick because of his brain. If he wasn't sick, we wouldn't be able to survive. Let's call it a day and go to the house for dinner."

Li Qing put down what he was doing, took Haitang's hand, and headed toward the backyard while playing a tune about the couple returning home.
