Chapter VII Magistrate

When he opened his eyes again, it was already dawn, and the fragrance of medicine was everywhere in the room. Li Qing felt a split headache, and his whole body seemed to be ashamed, unable to move at all. He twisted his neck with difficulty, and saw the lotus squatting in a corner, quickly slapping the fire medicine. She felt something. When she turned around, she saw Li Qing's two black blue eyes, like a panda, looking at him. The lotus was overjoyed and couldn't help but shout: "Young Master, you're awake!"

Li Qing swallowed hard. Just as he was about to ask, he was interrupted by a giggle of a lotus flower: "Young Master must want to ask, how did you come back? I couldn't drag it alone, but Zhang just happened to come back together, so we carried the young master back together." She put on a pig dragging position, couldn't help but smile and bent over. Suddenly, when she hugged him, he touched his body, and couldn't help but blush and gave him a blank look.

"Does Madam understand?" Li Qing lost a little of his teeth, his voice was vague, as if he was a little air leaking.

"Not yet, but Zhang Lu came and hired a doctor, saying that you have skin trauma and will be cured for a few days." She looked back at the sky and said, "When it dawns, Zhang Lu will naturally report to his wife."

Seeing her eyes red and swollen, Li Qing knew that she had cried, and she felt a little moved. Although she was a little fickle, she was enthusiastic and sincere to others. If she hadn't been shouting in time last night, she would have really been out of the Tang Dynasty.

"Did you see the fierce man clearly?"

He Hua's smile suddenly dimmed. She recognized that one of them was the chef in the mansion, and the others might be the rogues on the street. The chef was brought by the second wife's dowry and was Zhang Fu's confidant. The reason for this was self-evident.

"There is one that seems to be Zhang Xi." After hesitating for a moment, she still said it.

Li Qing sneered in his heart. He knew that it was Zhang Fu who did it. I'm afraid that Zhang Bailing's concubine would also be involved in it. Those resentful eyes appeared in front of him.

The sound of rapid footsteps came, and the door was pushed open suddenly. Mrs. Zhang rushed in like a gust of wind and fire, followed by Mr. Zhang, gasping heavily, and sweating was already seen in the temples.

"It doesn't matter!" She saw a smile in Li Qing's eyes and let her heart down slightly.

"Fortunately, it's not long. Thanks to the Lotus girl who arrived in time, she saved her life." Lotus had retreated to the door and was about to leave quietly. When Li Qing mentioned her name, he had to stop.

Mrs. Zhang frowned and lifted Li Qing's quilt. After looking closely, she exclaimed: "My mother, why are you so cruel!" But she saw the blue bruises and black purple, extending from her waist and abdomen to her legs, and with the yellow and white plaster, it seemed to be a little more serious than the dying disease.

Mrs. Zhang was angry, turned around and stared at the lotus flower with sharp eyes as a knife, and asked, "You said! Who did it?"

"I, I didn't see clearly. They all ran into the woods, as if they were not from our mansion."

The lotus felt guilty. She lowered her head and glanced at the master secretly. Seeing that his face was gloomy and silent, she felt even more scared and did not dare to tell the truth.

Mrs. Zhang's eyes closed slightly, but the subtle expression of the lotus flower did not hide it from her eyes. She sneered in her heart, remembering what happened the night before.

"Master! Not to mention that Mr. Li is our guest, we have no choice but to do so. I have to report this matter to the official!"

"Report to the official!" Zhang Yuanwai felt confused. He didn't know the connection between them, but he just felt that the official had made a big fuss. However, the wife was the one who decided to do something about it. The wife discussed with him and gave him some face in front of Li Qing.

"Yeah! Well, catch the murderer, they have to pay for the medical treatment."

Liu Suifeng, the county magistrate of Yilong County, was the first to be a Jinshi in the 22nd year of Kaiyuan. He first worked as a Lingtai Lang in Sinong Temple for a few years, and then he obtained the real shortcomings of the county magistrate. This time he was promoted and realized the truth of his life: he was able to rely on a big tree to enjoy the cool air, and he had to have a backer in the officialdom. When he arrived in Yilong County, he had the idea of ​​the Xianyu family in the neighboring county. Although there was a county separate, wouldn’t the sister of Xianyu brothers marry to Yilong County?

On this day, the Zhang family went to the yamen to report the case. Liu Suifeng did not dare to neglect it and went to the Zhang family to handle the case in person. However, he learned that it was the young master's maid who was beaten and injured. Just outside the back door of the Zhang family, the murderer had escaped. Liu Suifeng immediately understood that this was a headless case. Although there would be no result, his attitude must be correct.

"What did Mr. Li miss afterwards? I'm talking about gold and silver jewelry or money."

"I'm paying a lot?" Li Qing agreed, but his eyes kept looking at the first Tang Dynasty county magistrate he saw. He was wearing a robe, a light green silk cloth, and a silver belt on his waist. He was almost forty-year-old, with three long beards under his jaw, and his every move was quite elegant.

Since the money was a lot of money, it can be seen that the other party did not come for money, it could only be for love or hatred. Seeing that Li Qing was steady, his eyes were clear, and he had no frivolous aura at all, he evaded the possibility of this affection and grudge first. He pondered for a moment and said, "I wonder if Mr. Li has become enemies recently?"

Li Qing asked the point after hearing him a few words. He secretly admired him. He raised his eyes and gave Mrs. Zhang a wink and pointed at Mrs. Zhang. Mrs. Zhang understood and pulled her husband out.

"I didn't have much time to come to Zhang's mansion, but I made an enemy,..."

Li Qing briefly told Liu Suifeng about the incident when he made a feud with Zhang Fu and Zhang Yuanwai's concubine, and finally said: "It was not until last night that the lotus girl recognized the chef Zhang Xi among the murderer that I realized that he hated me to the core and even wanted to take my life. I can be careful for a while, but it is difficult for a lifetime. I hope the master will make the decision for me!"

Liu Suifeng's face was first filled with spring, and his smile gradually faded away, and a little disdain appeared on his face. When Li Qing finally asked him to make the decision, he was already cold and his face became extremely unnatural.

"It turns out that this person was a Taoist boy a month ago. I don't know what ability he has, so he was hired as the palace maid of the Zhang family." Liu Suifeng heard that he was a humble family, so he felt a little contempt. When he wanted to tell the person that there was Zhang Yuanwai's concubine. Liu Suifeng knew very well about the Zhang family and naturally understood that this was Mrs. Zhang who wanted to use this matter to drive away the second wife, but this family matter has been difficult to stop since ancient times. If he intervened, he might not be able to please him in the end.

But no matter how afraid the wife was that she was unhappy, he glanced at the lotus flower sideways, and when she saw her eyes flashing and she was restless, she became calculating in her heart.

"There is no physical evidence in this case. You are the only witness in this case. Now you can say that you have to sign and seal it when you go to court. I will talk about it first. If you commit perjury, the crime will be far greater than the case itself. If you may not do it well, you will be in the church hall. You have to think it through."

Lotus was complaining that Li Qing had told Zhang Xi about it without her consent. Now that she heard the county magistrate threatening, she was already extremely frightened. She secretly looked at Li Qing and saw that he was looking at her with eager eyes. However, she felt cold in her heart. Zhang Cai said that she was a passionate woman, but it was not a water-like poplar flower. Modern medicine explains that it may be that it is too much hormone secretion. Young and handsome men around her are easily attracted, imaginary, and love each other wholeheartedly. However, such love comes quickly and goes quickly. In just a few words of the county magistrate, the Nth love fire of Lotus was extinguished.

She knelt down on the ground and said tremblingly: "The little woman had just returned from watching the lights outside that night. She happened to see several men in black beating Mr. Li. One of them was tall and fat, very much like Zhang Xi, the chef in our mansion. However, the lights were dim at the time, and I was afraid that I could not see the face of him."

"Wait! Hehua, didn't you tell me that you clearly saw that he was Zhang Xi?" Li Qing was shocked when he heard Hehua's sudden change of words. He turned around and looked at Liu Suifeng, and saw a trace of pride flashing in his eyes, and then he realized it in his heart.

The lotus flower had a pale face, her head was buried deeper, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito and flies: "I'm sorry! Mr. Li, I just said that he looked like Zhang Xi, but I didn't say that he was Zhang Xi." The difference between the elephant and the elephant was just one word, and the meaning was completely different.

"Haha! Since the lotus girl is not sure, although Zhang Fu has the motive to buy a murderer, there is no evidence that he is the mastermind behind the scenes. Although this case is small, the legal principles are the same. Mr. Li, I am helpless."
