After rebirth, the Prime Minister's wife married the living devil

The crowing of cocks in the early morning marks the beginning of a new day.

The day for Li Yanqi and Lin Yanyu to get married has arrived.

Although it had been raining for several days, the day was unusually sunny. The sky was clear and the morning air was filled with the fragrance of grass and trees in the yard.

"Brother, no matter how many times you ask me, I'll give you the same answer. It's very cool and appropriate. All the procedures have been confirmed."

This was the eighth answer from Ma Xigui with a helpless look on his face. Behind him was the wedding procession ready to go.

Li Yanqi felt a little embarrassed. He didn't sleep well the whole night and took a nap in the early morning. After waking up with a start, he was too excited to fall asleep. He went to the yard and did a few sets of boxing before he calmed down a little.

It takes more than half an hour to get from this house to the Lin family, and now there are still two hours before the auspicious time for the wedding.

For the first time, he felt that time was so unbearable.

She then pulled at her wedding dress and asked Ma Xigui, "Is there really nothing wrong with this? Do you think I look okay like this?"

Ma Xigui: “…”

"Boss, the bride is not a thief we usually catch. She is waiting for you at the Lin family. Why are you so nervous? Haha."

The one who spoke was a yamen runner under Li Yanqi, who came to join in the fun knowing that he was getting married today.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter. After all, there are not many opportunities to laugh at your boss.

"Hahahaha!"

Ma Xigui also laughed, and laughed the loudest. Fearing that he would be punished later, he pretended to stop everyone and said, "Stop laughing, stop laughing. It's almost time, brothers, get ready to go to the Lin family to welcome the bride."

"Let's go! Let's go to the Lin family to see our boss's bride!"

A group of people surrounded Li Yanqi and pushed him towards the horse in front of the door.

Li Yanqi had a bright smile on his face and said, "Don't squeeze me, go away, if you do this, how can I get on the horse?"

Li Yanqi is famous, and the men in Yunlong Town are more or less afraid of him.

After he became the lieutenant of the county government, the runners assigned to his post initially cried out in bad luck, fearing for their lives. But as time went on, they discovered that unless they provoked him, he would not hurt people without reason, and he was clear about rewards and punishments, and had excellent skills.

Being a yamen runner is inherently risky. Unlike the previous county lieutenant, when he was on a mission under Li Yanqi, he would be the first to rush forward when encountering dangerous situations. He would not let them be cannon fodder. Over time, everyone was convinced.

Today is his wedding day, and this might be the only chance in his life to play a trick on Li Yanqi. Everyone glanced at each other and rushed to grab Li Yanqi, trying to carry him up.

Li Yanqi started practicing martial arts when he was young. The muscle memory formed over the years allowed his body to move before his brain even started to think. No one saw how he moved, but everyone had already been slapped on the head.

Li Yanqi jumped onto the horse and laughed heartily.

"You want to catch me? Are you dreaming? Let's go!"

Everyone scratched the bumps on their heads and followed behind obediently.

To go to the Lin family to pick up the bride, one had to pass through the town, with music and dance all the way, attracting passers-by along the way to stop and watch.

The middle-aged woman who got up early in the morning and sold sweet soup looked up at the tall figure sitting on a big horse and asked the diners at the stall: "What a grand occasion! Which young master is getting married? Why haven't I heard about it?"

"You do not know?"

A young man holding a bowl of sweet soup looked up with a look of disbelief.

"I went back to my parents' home a few days ago and didn't set up my stall. Tell me about it." The woman looked gossipy.

"You missed it. Everyone in town has been talking about it lately."

As he spoke, the young man approached the woman mysteriously and whispered, "Do you know the childhood sweetheart of Mr. He, the first in the case of Yunlong County?"

"How could I not know this? What happened to Miss Lin, the most beautiful girl in our town?"

"This wedding procession is to welcome the eldest daughter of the Lin family. Look at both sides of the wedding procession road. Aren't there more people than before? They are all here to see the bride's elegance. Hehe, me too."

The woman looked at the stall full of diners and had an epiphany. No wonder business was so good today.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this young scholar He is so lucky tonight." The woman made a strange expression with her eyes.

"Shh!" The young man looked nervous.

"Don't talk nonsense. The man Miss Lin is going to marry is not the young scholar He, but Li Yanqi, the evil spirit of our town. Be careful that he hears and overturns your sweet soup stand."

"What!" The woman turned pale with shock.

That kind of bully who doesn't know how to be gentle with women would be so cruel to destroy the flowers on their wedding night. The woman silently shed tears of sympathy for Miss Lin in her heart.

Li Yanqi's long-cherished wish was about to come true, but he felt a sense of unreality. The closer he got to the Lin family, the more nervous he became. He wished he could be there in one go to pick up his soon-to-be-married wife, and his entire body was as tense as a string.

The group is about to leave town.

A bailiff under the command of County Magistrate Liu Cheng stopped the wedding procession.

"Hello, Lieutenant Li. May I ask who is your relative to Li Zhaofeng who lives in the mass grave?"

The corners of Li Yanqi's lips, which had been raised, dropped down, and his eyes looked at the person who came.

"It's not someone. County Magistrate Liu sent you to see me for something?"

The bailiff was so suppressed by his powerful gaze that he dared not raise his head and had to explain his purpose.

"Someone accused Li Zhaofeng of murdering his wife. County Magistrate Liu asked you, County Lieutenant Li, to go to the mass grave and bring Li Zhaofeng to justice. County Magistrate Liu also said that he knew you, County Lieutenant Li, were getting married today, and that if you didn't go, he would go there himself."

Before Li Yanqi could react, Ma Xigui rushed up and kicked the bailiff who reported the news to the ground.

"He came here to bring bad luck to my eldest brother on his big day. Does Liu Cheng really think that we brothers are afraid of him?"

Li Yanqi had sent Li Zhaofeng back to the mass grave yesterday. He had previously guessed that the old man was a prominent figure in the past, so he was arrogant and did not want to show his current half-human, half-ghost appearance in front of others.

His body is incomplete and he has no legs. His tendons are sprained and he cannot lift heavy objects. His internal organs have been severely damaged, so he has to take medicine every day.

If he fell into Liu Cheng's hands...

Liu Cheng had been the county magistrate for eight years and had outlasted two county magistrates. Magistrate Dong was the third. No matter who won between King Cheng and General Xiahou, the appointment and dismissal of small local officials would not be affected. The only ones who would be affected were Magistrate Dong and the Chongzhou government office. However, Magistrate Dong took Li Yanqi to the Chongzhou government office but did not take him, Liu Cheng.

Ever since Li Yanqi came back from attacking Chongzhou, Liu Cheng has been making small moves. County Magistrate Dong has told him privately several times not to make things difficult for him, as it was Liu Cheng who made the accusations. He has been busy with his marriage with Lin Yanyu during this period and has not had the time to retaliate.

totally unexpected……

Li Yanqi's hands holding the reins gradually tightened and turned white, and a cold light flashed in his dark eyes.

"Liu Cheng!"
