Ximen Qing thought about it, and was happy to rest at home for a while.

In the past few days, the small Qinghe County has been full of turmoil. First, the magistrate's family was exterminated. There are different opinions about the murderer, and various legends are flying around.

The imperial envoy was sitting in a sedan chair carrying eight carriages, followed by hundreds of people, which could be described as majestic and majestic, and the people who had seen it had one more thing to talk about.

The turmoil of this matter has not yet passed, and Jiangnan sent people again. There are so many people in the small Qinghe County, and it immediately becomes tense.

What's more, these people were not idle, they arrested anyone who was suspicious when they saw it, and arrested anyone who was related to the county magistrate's family.

It is easy to get in and out of the prison, but now, everyone in Qinghe County is in danger. They dare not go to the street during the day and open the door at night, for fear of causing some trouble.

Ximen Qing's heart tightened when he heard the young servant Dai'an's report, he didn't expect things to turn out like this.

He and Dongfang Bubai have a problem with Su Yanei and Chang Yanei, if someone exposes him, he will have to eat melons along with him.

Besides, he was very worried about one more thing, that is, even if no one told the imperial envoy what happened in the Jade Emperor Temple that day, but Su Yanei had been to the Jade Emperor Temple, there must have been many people who saw it, so if people from the government went to the Jade Emperor Temple The temple was searched, and it was not good to find Dongfang Bubai.

The origin of Dongfang Bubai is unknown, and there is no official guide to prove his identity at all, so he will definitely be arrested, and it would be a big disaster for him to bite himself out again at that time.

In an instant, Ximen Qing broke out in a thin layer of sweat.Now the magistrate's matter is a piece of rotten meat, whoever gets involved will be unlucky, he doesn't want to be involved for no reason.

He wanted to go out to inquire about news or arrange things, but Ximen's father didn't allow it at all, and he couldn't tell his father about Dongfang Bubai and his own worries, so Ximen Qing hurried around.

Coming out of the backyard again, he made up his mind, this time even if he told his father the truth, he would go out, otherwise, if something really happened, he would have no time to regret it.

Walking along the garden in the courtyard, he suddenly heard the sound of crying from the Hua family next door, as well as the sound of officials shouting.

Hurry up to the rockery next to it, and look into the courtyard of Hua's family, and saw Hua Zixu being escorted away by the officials in shackles. Then disappear.

When the official left, the people in the yard started to move in panic.

Yingchun was in a hurry to send a letter to Li Ping'er, wanting to tell her that the official had left, when she saw Ximen Qing on the rockery at a glance, her eyes were red, and she looked at Ximen Qing twice before turning around and entering the room.

Inside the door, Li Ping'er twisted her handkerchief and looked out anxiously. Seeing Yingchun coming in, she hurriedly asked what was going on. Yingchun cried and told her that Hua Zixu was taken away by the officials, and Li Ping'er's legs went limp. Just fell on the chair, two lines of tears flowed down instantly.

She didn't know why her life was so hard. She was living a good life in Beijing, but suddenly her family was ruined.After finally escaping and marrying Hua Zixu, although she was a little wronged, she had a safe place, but she never thought that Hua Zixu would go to prison again, what should she do.

"My lady, you should think of a way!" Yingchun said, wiping away her tears.

Li Ping'er's tears fell even more fiercely, "What can I do, I'm a woman."

Yingchun was silent for a while, then suddenly remembered the Ximen Qinglai she saw just now, and hurriedly said: "Lady, why don't you go and beg the official Ximen. The official once said in the past that this official Ximen is very special in Qinghe County. Skill, if you ask him, maybe there will be a turnaround for this matter?"

"Begging him?" Li Ping'er paused.

But Yingchun shouted as if grasping at straws, "Yes, lady, go and ask him for help. I saw him just now, so I'll go and stop him now, lady, come quickly." After speaking, Yingchun hurried to go outside.

It was empty outside, and there was no shadow of Ximen Qing.Yingchun looked around anxiously, then moved a ladder from the side, put it against the wall with great effort, then climbed up the ladder, and looked into Ximen Qing's yard.

Seeing that Ximen Qing was about to leave, she lowered her voice and shouted, "Officer, official..."

Seeing that Hua Zixu was arrested, Ximenqing became even more impatient, and hurried down the rockery to go out, but before he had time to leave the yard, he heard someone calling him, so he turned his head and saw Yingchun lying on the wall calling him.

He was anxious, he didn't want to talk about Yingchun at first, but in a flash, he thought of a good idea.Instead of arguing with the old man, telling the matter to make the old man angry, it is better to go out and finish the matter quietly, and come back after finishing the work, and the old man will scold him at most.

The more he thought about it, the more he realized that his thoughts were good, he turned around and went to the wall, and said with a smile: "My lady called me, what's the matter?"

Yingchun's eyes were red again, but she still didn't forget the business, "My official was arrested, my lady wants to ask the official for help, see if I can rescue my official."

"This..." Ximen Qing groaned, and smiled wryly, "My father is afraid that I will get into some trouble, so he won't let me go out at all, I'm afraid..."

Yingchun thought that Ximenqing didn't want to help, and suddenly felt that there was no hope at all, so she didn't speak, just looked at Ximenqing with teary eyes.

Seeing that the time had come, Ximen Qing hurriedly said, "However, I have a predestined relationship with your wife, so how can I bear to see death. In this way, if your wife trusts me, she will put down a wooden ladder for me, and I will walk along the wooden ladder." In the past, without alarming my father, this matter may be possible."

When Yingchun heard this, she was both surprised and happy. She wished she could immediately put down the wooden ladder and let Ximen Qing come over. However, she still had a sense of reason, knowing that Huazi was not there now. If Ximen Qing came here secretly, if someone found out, Li Ping'er He must be charged with adultery. At that time, even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he would not be able to clear it up.

"I'll go ask my wife." Yingchun said.

"Then hurry up." Ximen Qing looked around and said urgently, "If someone finds out, I don't even think I can help you."

Yingchun nodded, and hurried down the ladder to discuss with Li Ping'er.

When Yingchun disappeared, Ximenqing grinned, his face showing no trace of anxiety. His father was afraid that he would mess around with the servants and maids, so he didn't leave anyone to serve him. The courtyard was empty at this time, who would have noticed the abnormality here? , It's just to cheat Yingchun.

He is [-]% sure that Li Ping'er will go to the doctor in a hurry, and he will definitely do what he said, and what he has to do now is to leave a letter for his father, telling him that he has something to go out, and he will definitely come back tomorrow, so that his father Don't be in a hurry.

After writing the letter, Ximen Qing just left the room when he saw a wooden ladder lowered along the wall. On the other side of the wall, Yingchun looked anxious.

Unhurriedly climbing over the wall along the wooden ladder, Ximen Qing saw Li Ping'er with his head bowed beside him at a glance.

"My lady." Ximen Qing saluted.

Li Ping'er looked up at him, then quickly lowered his head, "Thank you officer for your help."

Li Ping'er's face was full of tears at this time, her cheeks were anxious or shy, her cheeks were as rosy as if she had applied rouge, plus she was petite, she was really charming, I felt pity for her.

Ximen Qing's heart moved, he reached out and grabbed Li Ping'er's hand, and helped her up, "What are you talking about, my lady, I am very happy if I can help you."

Li Ping'er's hand was held and she wanted to pull it back, but she was weak and couldn't pull it back at all, and immediately blushed.

Ximen Qing looked around, only Yingchun was in the yard, and she was struggling to move the ladder, as if she didn't notice what was going on here, which made him more courageous, and reached out to wipe Li Ping'er's tears.

"If you need me to do anything, my lady just say, even if I sacrifice my own life, I will help you to do it." He still did not forget to appease Li Ping'er.

There were more tears in Li Ping'er's eyes, but this time she didn't move any more, and obediently let Ximen Qing do whatever she wanted.She had a little affection for Ximen Qing, and at this helpless time, Ximen Qing treated her like this, and she felt very at ease.The thoughts in this are not enough for outsiders to understand.

Seeing that she was so delicate, Ximen Qing wished he could kill her immediately. These days, he was full of anger.Fortunately, he still knew the priority of the matter, so he let go of Li Ping'er, pretending to be panicked, "I lost my composure just now, don't blame my lady."

Li Ping'er shook his head invisibly.

"What happened to Brother Hua? Was he also implicated in the extermination of the magistrate's family?" Ximen Qing was still very interested in this matter. At this time, it is always good to have more information.

Li Ping'er heard him mention Hua Zixu, so she regained her composure and said anxiously, "No, it's because of my uncle's inheritance."

It turned out that after Hua Zixu and Li Ping'er hid in Qinghe County, the Hua family did not give up fighting for property.But they couldn't find Hua Zixu, so they reported Hua Zixu to the Yamen, saying that he was unfaithful and unfilial, killed Hua eunuch, and wanted to embezzle Hua eunuch's money.

The government accepted the complaint and found the family of the servant who was serving the eunuch Hua. After a meal, they found Hua Zixu. Today, Hua Zixu was brought back to the capital for trial.

After Ximen Qing heard it, he said in a bit of a dilemma, "If you actually sue the case in the capital, then I will be beyond my reach."

Li Ping'er looked at Ximen Qing in disappointment, the sapphire blue dotted emerald pearl hairpin on her hair flickered with her movements, Ximen Qing's eyes flashed, if he remembered correctly, the Hua family had a lot of money.
