Chapter 239 Madam Diplomacy

Yang Qiuchi's words were very kind. Yun Lang's head moved in the haystack and slowly raised his head to look at Yang Qiuchi: "Are you... what you said... true?"

"Yes, you can leave your last words. If you have any other requirements, as long as I can, I will help you as much as possible."

Yun Lang shook his head, struggled to get up, and sat cross-legged.

Yang Qiuchi asked, "I still want to ask, did you really kill Wang Dianshi?"

Yun Leng looked at Yang Qiuchi with great difficulty: "The documents of the nail seal have been issued. Is this useful?"

"Yes, anyway, the left and right are dead, so it's okay to talk about it."

Yun Lang showed a hint of sneer on his face: "If I said I didn't kill him, would you believe it?"

"Believe!" Yang Qiuchi nodded, "As long as you have evidence that it is indeed not your kill, I can find out."

"Evidence? I had blood on my hands and blood on my knife. I was caught on the spot. What other evidence is needed?"

Yang Qiuchi frowned: "So, did you really kill Wang Dianshi?"

Yun Leng slowly lay back on the haystack and ignored Yang Qiuchi.

Yang Qiuchi was a little angry. He kindly asked him, but there was no grievance. He was impatient and it was really boring. Yang Qiuchi stood up and left with his sleeves.

After leaving the prison, Yang Qiuchi stopped again. After thinking about it, he asked the prison leader to see Yun Lang's father, the Miao village leader Yun Tianqing.

As you can imagine from the name, Yun Tianqing should be a man with a tiger back and a bear waist. Unexpectedly, after meeting him, he would not have any connection with this. Yun Tianqing was just a short old man with a white beard, triangular eyes, wrinkles on his face were like pine bark. He was wearing a wooden shackle and chains, sitting on the haystack.

After Yang Qiuchi introduced himself, he asked, "Yun Tianqing. Why did you lead someone to attack the yamen?"

Yun Tianqing heard that Yang Qiuchi was a new magistrate, but he didn't expect that he would become a seventh-rank magistrate at such a young age. He also guessed that it might be an official who had spent money to buy it. He curled his lips and said in a somewhat stiff Chinese: "My son was framed and called him a place to attract people. Of course, I want to bring people to ask you for someone."

Yang Qiuchi asked patiently: "How do you know that your son was framed? He was caught on the spot."

"I believe my son would not kill people like this. He wanted to kill Wang Dianshi. He could have killed him when Wang Dianshi came to collect grain. Why did he have to go to the yamen alone late at night to kill him?"

When Yang Qiuchi heard this, he was slightly stunned: "I heard that your son had some grudges with Wang Dianshi. What's going on? Can you tell me?"

"Say? What's the use of saying those?" Yun Tianqing roared: "My son has been sentenced to death by you. What else can I say!"

Yang Qiuchi's fire rose up, and the father and son didn't know how to be good. They turned around and were about to leave, but in the end they suppressed the fire and said, "Yun Tianqing, I'm here to check it out because you are the leader of the Miao village. Tell you that the imperial court has already come down, and your son will be tied up to the court within three days and beheaded!"

Yun Tianqing climbed up suddenly. The chains were clanging. He rushed to the fence, grabbed the fence with both hands, and asked in surprise: "What did you say? Are you going to kill my son?"

"He killed Wang Dianshi, set fire to the yamen, and violated the king's law. He should be sentenced to death!"

"Fart! This is a false accusation. Someone framed my son!" Yun Tianqing was angry and anxious, grabbed the fence with both hands and shook it hard. "You dog officials! You guys! You guys are you know to bully us Miao people! Dog officials, if you dare to kill my son, I will definitely kill you to take revenge when I come out!"

Yang Qiuchi was so angry that he yelled: "Hey! Do you know whether to find out? It is natural to kill someone to pay your life, to pay off your debts and pay them back. He deserves to cut his head! You dare to threaten this. If you have any tricks, just use them to see if I can take it! Humph!" Yang Qiuchi brushed his sleeves out of the prison cell, and Yun Tianqing's screams and scolding behind him were endless.

Yang Qiuchi was so angry that he came to check if there was any injustice. Not only did he roll his eyes in Yun Lang, but he also scolded Yun Tianqing for no reason. It was really a nameless thing.

Yang Qiuchi returned to the inner yard and sat in the living room and sulked. Qin Zhihui and Song Qing didn't know what happened to Yang Qiuchi, so they didn't dare to ask more questions. They ordered the maid to make a cup of tea for Yang Qiuchi.

After slowly tasting fragrant tea, Yang Qiuchi's breath gradually faded.

At this time, the concierge Zhang Ma came in and said, "Master, the county juren Li Chengming, the steward from another place, is visiting. She is waiting in the yamen flower room."

Yang Qiuchi was a little surprised. Yesterday he beat Li Chengming's concierge Wang Ke. He had sent the butler to come. He had a good attitude at that time and announced that he would fire the concierge Wang Ke from the Li family. What are you sending the butler to do now?

Yang Qiuchi brought his followers to the flower room. The butler was the one Xiao who had been here yesterday. When he saw Yang Qiuchi, he took out a big red invitation from his arms, stepped forward and knelt down, and said, "Master, our master admires the master very much. He specially prepared a small wine tonight and wanted to invite the master to enjoy the scenery."

"Oh, you master are so polite." Yang Qiuchi took the invitation and said with a smile.

Manager Xiao said again: "Our master and our Huguang Qian Gongshuo Junior, who received a letter from the governor's envoy the day before yesterday, saying that you are the magistrate, you are the friend of the governor's envoy, and asked us to do our best to do our landlords' friendship. Therefore, our master specially set up a family dinner and specially invited the master and his wife to come to the banquet together, so that the two families can also get along in the future."

Oh? It turns out that the Qian Governor had already said hello. No wonder Li Chengming had such a good attitude yesterday. He knew that his backstage was my buddy. But he didn't expect that his concierge and niece hit me these three fires. Of course, he had to cry and kill Ma Ji to please me. Haha, Li Chengming is quite good at being a human being.

Going to the banquet with his wife? Is the wife diplomatic? It seems that Mr. Li is not just entertaining himself. It is certain that the governor Qian revealed a little news that he is a big shot, so Mr. Li deliberately flattered himself and had a wife diplomatic relationship in order to bring it into the relationship between the two families.

Yang Qiuchi touched his chin and thought to himself that the wife's diplomacy is just the wife's diplomacy, but Xiaoxue, the first lady, was not on duty and was filial to her in Wuchang. So she had to take her concubine.

Yang Qiuchi nodded and agreed: "Go back and report to your master, and I will say that I will come to Zun Mansion to visit tonight."

After seeing off the butler Xiao, Yang Qiuchi returned to the living room of the inner yamen. Qin Zhihui and the others were there. Yang Qiuchi told the matter and then smiled and said, "Two ladies, your big grandmother is not here. I will take you to the banquet tonight." Bai Sumei had not passed by and had a hot filial piety, so she was spared this trip.

Song Yuner felt very uncomfortable. She really wanted to be one of them. But her father was a fifth-rank Tongzhi, and she was a daughter-in-law, so she wanted to be a concubine for Yang Qiuchi. This was a bit difficult. Besides, Yang Qiuchi never mentioned this at all. How could she say it as a girl? The more she thought about it, she became more angry, so she simply stomped her feet and turned back to the room.

Yang Qiuchi knew what Song Yuner was thinking, but what could she do? It turned out that as long as her father Song Tongzhi nodded, he was willing to let Song Yuner be his concubine and marry Song Yuner, but the situation is different now. Her master Liu Ruobing took away his chastity by herself. The situation is not that simple now, and more issues need to be considered.

Liu Ruobing has been in the back flower circle all day long. She is indifferent by nature and does not like liveliness. She will not leave the back garden without any trouble.

Qin Zhihui and the others had long seen the matter between Song Yuner and Yang Qiuchi. They also knew the difficulties of this matter. It is not easy to say anything to Song Yuner now, so they can only let it develop.

Qin Zhihui was born as a maid. When she was a maid at Mr. He’s house, she had seen such a scene of a wife’s diplomacy. She didn’t expect that one day she would become the protagonist. She was both happy and nervous. She said, “Husband, Zhihui doesn’t know anything, I’m afraid she won’t be embarrassed to speak.”

"What can't speak? Aren't you talking well?" Yang Qiuchi smiled, "Besides, your husband is the magistrate, and Jinyi..., this..., anyway, they are the only ones who flatter you, you don't have to say anything deliberately. Haha."

Song Qing held Qin Zhihui's hand and said, "Sister, don't worry. If we are afraid of saying the wrong thing, then just carry our ears and just listen and not speak."

Qin Zhihui felt that this idea was good, and nodded happily, feeling confident.

That night, Nangong Xiong took the guards to Li Chengming's house for a safety inspection and set up a warning before reporting that Yang Qiuchi could set off.

Yang Qiuchi and his two concubines sat in sedan chairs, with their close maids Yuechan and Hong Ling, and their followers Chang Fu, and under the protection of Nangong Xiong and Xia Ping, set out for the banquet in a mighty manner.

Li Chengming and Li Yuanwai's family are just a rich man in this small county town. Although they are not as good as Mi Yuanwai, or even Hao Yuanwai, they are also a well-known wealthy family in Zhenyuanzhou. They are also from a juren and have fame and wealth.

Mr. Li’s house is about scale and luxury. Not to mention this small Qingxi County, no one can stand out even in Zhenyuanzhou. Yang Qiuchi and his group came to Li’s Mansion. The Li’s Mansion was decorated with lights and colors, just like a New Year. Mr. Li had already received a notice, bringing his eldest son Li Ying, second son Li Jie, and a lot of wives and concubines to greet him at the gate.

Yang Qiuchi got out of the sedan chair and introduced to the squad leader Chang Fu that the old man in the middle was Li Yuanwai Li Chengming. Yang Qiuchi looked at it carefully and still had some impression.

Mr. Li was in his fifties, half of his head was bald, and he was chubby enough to be about 200 pounds. He smiled and greeted him with a big belly, bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Yang, for coming to the humble house! Li came to greet him with his dog son."

Li Yuanwai's son Li Ying and second son Li Jie are handsome. At the age of 20 or 30, they regard themselves as juniors, and they kneel down and kowtow. The sons and daughters also kowtowed one after another, and their wives and concubines bowed their blessings. Yang Qiuchi quickly stepped forward to help Li Ying and Li Jie up and called everyone to get up.
