Um?Everyone was puzzled, didn't the master always dislike Xue Li?Hate him for abducting her own daughter, why should she protect him now?

Liu Qing also complained in her heart, can she not protect her?Even if Xue Rengui is not recognized as a son-in-law now, if he faces a decapitation lawsuit, his wife and children may be sent to exile, what will be done at that time?So the plan for now can only be pushed to that unknown person.

At this time, the housekeeper said weakly, "Master, the Du man from Chang'an brought you a message, saying that if you don't come to apologize in person within two days, there is no need for the Liu family in Longmen County to exist."

What?Liu Qing exclaimed, who is speaking so loudly?But the distraught Liu Qing didn't have the heart to pay attention to a lunatic. Her Liu family was a side branch of the Hedong Liu family. If someone who is capable wants to trample herself to death, she should take a look at the face of the Hedong Liu family.

"Okay, the bigger the tone, the better. It's best that he is a really capable person who can take the matter of Wang Butou being beaten to death. Otherwise, I, Liu, will probably go against my conscience and die unjustly." Liu Qing sighed with disdain.

Are all villains hypocritical?Can you do this series of bad things, do you still have a conscience?

The housekeeper brought someone to carry Wang Butou's body to the county government to file a complaint. The county magistrate Xue was furious when he saw it.Who is so bold, dare to kill people in Longmen County openly?

"A man with the surname Du from Chang'an. The murderer is now at Xue Li's house halfway up the mountain to the east. I'll see it with my own eyes." The housekeeper replied.

Surname Du?From Chang'an?Magistrate Xue's heart moved, and a figure in white appeared in front of his eyes, could it be Du Consort?

But when the witnesses were questioned and found out that it was a man with a broken arm, the county magistrate Xue thought it was not, so there was no need to worry about it.

When the county magistrate saw Du Shaoqing and Cui Hao, he cursed secretly in his heart, the damn servants, false information, and can't even remember their names, isn't this intentional to trick me?

"Magistrate Xue, it's really a fate. Could it be that he came to find Du for something?" Du Shaoqing jokingly said, knowing that the other party came to Xingshi to inquire about his crimes.

Getting off his horse, Xue County Magistrate saluted and said: "Mr. Du, Mr. Cui, someone sued the son-in-law for beating to death the head of our county government office. I wonder if there is such a thing? What's the reason?"

Um?Du Shaoqing glanced at the housekeeper and servants who followed, thinking that these things would really turn black and white, saying that I beat them to death?

When the housekeeper saw that the county magistrate was acquainted with the other party, and also called the other party's son-in-law, he knew it was bad. This visitor from Chang'an really has a lot of background, and I'm afraid the Liu family can't afford it.

Before Du Shaoqing could nod his head and admit it, Xue Li stood up and said, "I beat him to death. If something happens, come to me, Xue Li alone."

"Huh? Xue Li? So you killed Wang Butou? Okay, come here and tie me up!" County magistrate Xue wished someone would come out to take the blame for his son-in-law, so he wouldn't have to offend this cross-river dragon.

The housekeeper and the others didn't dare to argue anymore, because the other party was a son-in-law and knew the county magistrate, and he was not a fool to confront the county magistrate twice. Then the Liu family would be in trouble, and it seemed that they could only give up this cheap son-in-law.

Du Shaoqing scolded: "Retire, you are just a guard, I'm here for everything, it's none of your business."

"Oh? What's going on here? Concubine Du, this Xue Li is from Longmen County, how did he become your bodyguard?" The county magistrate was puzzled.

"Hehe, let me introduce you, he is the person I'm looking for, Xue Li, and his name is Rengui!" Du Shaoqing said with a smile.

What? ? ?Xue Li is Xue Rengui?

For a moment, the county magistrate's mind flashed wildly, is he the all-rounder Du concubine said?It is for him that he travels thousands of miles to find talents, which shows that Concubine Du attaches great importance to this person.

Weighing for a moment, the county magistrate is also a person who understands current affairs. Now that Du Shaoqing is so popular, and Qinghe Cui's sons are all bowing to him, then this son-in-law is not the one who can be offended by a small county magistrate. How about To be a favor, I think Xue Li climbed up to Prince Du, the future must be smooth and promising.

"Congratulations to the son-in-law for finding a great talent. After traveling thousands of miles, you will finally gain something. Speaking of which, Xue Li is still a member of the Xue family in Hedong, but he has treated him a little bit poorly these years. It is my county magistrate's negligence. I will definitely make up for it in the future." Xue Li The magistrate said with a smile.

This made the group of people who followed me confused, so, Mr. County Magistrate, we are here to arrest people, not for you to show off to others.

"I don't know why Catcher Wang bumped into the son-in-law and provoked the punishment of the son-in-law. I dare to ask the reason, so I have to give his family an explanation." This is obviously a [-]-degree turn, completely helpful Du Shaoqing has spoken, there is no need for other excuses, just offending the son-in-law, death is nothing, because the arrest is also a commoner, and there is no comparison in front of the nobles.

Du Shaoqing didn't make things difficult for the other party, and explained the matter clearly. After hearing this, County Magistrate Xue's face was extremely embarrassed, and he cursed inwardly, what a liu family, you almost cheated me to death by turning black and white.

If I didn't get to know this son-in-law earlier today, I'm afraid I've offended him to the death, and I might send him to prison.

"Thank you son-in-law for clarifying the confusion, the official was rude, and such villains came out under his rule, the official apologized to the son-in-law and the others.

Now that the truth is revealed, it is inconvenient for me to stay in the official position for a long time, so I will pay a visit to Consort Du later and say goodbye.

Come on, the Liu family turned black and white, and even went into the house to commit murder, take them all back for questioning, by the way, send a team to the Liu family, and take the culprit Liu Qing too! "

Chapter 272 Liu Qing is Scared

Liu Qing, who was waiting at home to report the progress of the matter, finally waited for the third bad news in the evening. The servant did not come back, and the government officials came. Take him away.

In the prison of the county government, Liu Qing saw his housekeeper and his party. The housekeeper explained what happened with a mournful face. The person from Chang'an was an untouchable existence. The little-known son-in-law will be related to Du Shaoqing, the most popular person in the Tang Dynasty.

After thinking about it, Liu Qing knew that she couldn't sit still and wanted to ask the jailer to see the county magistrate, but the jailer said that everyone in the Liu family had framed Wang Butou and County Magistrate Xue wrongly, and the county magistrate was getting angry. You should just wait in this prison for trial.

In the end, Liu Qing sent a huge sum of ten taels of silver to the prison chief, asking him to bring a message to the county magistrate, begging to meet him.

County magistrate Xue was taking care of Wang's funeral. He thought that this guy was doing well on weekdays, so why did he die because of his greed for money?Is it a moment of confusion or a greed for money?

In any case, there is a saying that the grievances and grievances of people die, and Xue County Magistrate did not pursue it too much. He called Wang Butou's family, explained the reason, and then sent him away. It was a personal grievance and he was killed so there was no compensation. .

At first the Wang family was reluctant, but County Magistrate Xue said that Catcher Wang would be guilty of breaking into a private house and snatching his son, so the Wang family didn't dare to entangle any more, so they could only take the body and go home for the funeral.

The county magistrate, who had just returned to the study to calm down for a while, heard the report from the prison chief, saying that Liu Qing was begging to see him, and thought over and over again. County magistrate Xue came to the prison and saw Liu Qing.

The two were also old acquaintances, and County Magistrate Xue said with a cold face: "Well, you Liu Qing, you still want to arrest Wang Butou for doing evil? How about now, you have lost Wang Butou's life, and you still have to deceive me to give you money?" Wiping your ass, it’s useless for you to be a big gentry in the local area, and you will do all the bad things by yourself.”

Liu Qing smiled bitterly and said: "Who is born willing to be a villain? If it wasn't because I don't have a son and can't carry on the family line, how could I betray my trust and plot against my son-in-law? My Liu family will not become a local laughing stock from a famous family."

County magistrate Xue said with some disdain: "So, I still have sympathy for you? Man's fate is predestined, and it is predestined that you have no children, so no one can blame others.

The matter between you and Xue Li is your Liu family's private matter, I can think of not interfering in the past friendship, even if you kidnap your grandson, it is your family's private matter.

But now there is a murder case, you have to bear the responsibility for Wang Butou's death, after all, you hired him. "

Nodding her head, Liu Qing knew the current affairs and did not refute this question, but changed the subject and said: "County magistrate, can you let me go out and give me two days, that Prince Du sent a message to let me two I will personally make amends within a few days, I dare not not go.”

Um?Magistrate Xue frowned, what does this old guy mean?

"No need, you are involved in a murder case, and you will be sentenced in a lawsuit. The son-in-law asked you to accompany the crime. I'm afraid it would make him happier if you were sentenced. Accept your fate." The county magistrate shook his head in disapproval.

Liu Qing suddenly raised her voice and shouted: "Magistrate Xue, you and I have no grudges in the past, and we have no grudges in the present, so you don't have to do it so badly. Is it worth it to arrest the head for a king? You won't understand what I mean."

Looking back, County Magistrate Xue stared at Liu Qing's persistent eyes, and his thoughts turned sharply. Of course he understood what Liu Qing was thinking, so County Magistrate Xue was weighing.

In all fairness, there is indeed no enmity between the two, only the resentment that Liu Qing was almost cheated this time, but all of this is related to Prince Du from Chang'an, as long as Prince Du's anger can be appeased, everything else is easy to talk about.

County magistrate Xue knew what Liu Qing meant, no matter how Liu Qing was Xue Li's father-in-law, and now that Xue Li had climbed the big tree of Prince Consort Du, if he really sentenced Liu Qing to prison, it was impossible for Xue Li to come to scoop him up. It is very troublesome to repeat.

It's better to give Xue Li a favor directly, release Liu Qing, and let him deal with Xue Li and Concubine Du.

So he thought for a while, and the county magistrate Xue asked, "What about Wang Butou's life?"

"People are doing things for me. I went to discuss private matters with their family members. I think a hundred taels of silver is enough. The county magistrate can rest assured that they will not let this family gossip." Liu Qing promised.

After a moment of silence, County Magistrate Xue nodded and said: "Go and make amends to Consort Du carefully, and treat your son-in-law better in the future, it is different now.

Also, in Longmen territory from now on, you'd better keep yourself safe and don't cause trouble for me. Longmen County is not where your Liu family belongs. "

After finishing speaking, the county magistrate turned around and strode away. Not long after, the jailer opened the prison door and signaled to the group of Liu family members that they could leave. Liu Qing didn't dare to delay after Qian Shan, and hurried to Xue Li's house while it was still dark.

At the entrance of the cave, Xue Li looked at the old man and said coldly: "Didn't the county magistrate Xue say that he would arrest you? What? He was in collusion with you to protect you and let you out? You go, you are not welcome here you!"
