It was an objective fact that he shot the bandit leader with his own hands. Although Li Qinzai didn't want to admit it, he had to say that Xue Ne's luck was really...unbelievable.
Even Lao Wei praised softly from the side, his eyes shining.
"Young Master Xue's arrow was very tricky, especially when it was shot at night when he couldn't see his fingers. It could hit the bandit leader's neck accurately and accurately, killing him with one blow. It's amazing! He's a sharpshooter in the army. That’s all.”
Li Qinzai couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Xue Ne was really a hidden master? Like all the protagonists, he showed off his extraordinary abilities only when he had to, and made everyone around him, including Li Qinzai, look worse than a green leaf. .
"Brother Shen Yan, come here, shoot me another arrow..."
Li Qinzai dragged Xue Na, pointed to the torch held by Bu Qu not far away, and said, "Isn't it difficult to hit the torch with an arrow from twenty steps away?"
Xue Ne's expression changed rapidly, and the white-faced man on the stage pushed and turned his head like Cao Cao: "That's it for today, I will shoot you another day."
Li Qinzai exhaled and confirmed that this product was a parallel import. The arrow that killed the bandit leader was probably an accidental shot, which was unlucky.
The last bandit leader who slipped through the net was dead, and a big stone hanging in Li Qinzai's heart fell to the ground.
Dang even invited Xue Na back to Zhuangzi for a short break.
Unexpectedly, Xue Ne refused: "I won't go to your village anymore. I have to rush back to Chang'an City. By the way, I can use this bandit's body."
Li Qinzai understood what he meant.
I couldn't wait to rush back to Chang'an overnight to show off.
"Brother Jingchu, don't be surprised if you see Gao Qi calling me brother in the future. This is a well-deserved title, but it's disrespectful, hahahaha!" Xue Ne looked up to the sky and laughed wildly.
After laughing, Xue Ne stepped forward, hugged Qiao'er over, and slapped his face hard, making Qiao'er very uncomfortable and struggled hard, and then Xue Ne gave up.
"Don't delay and be careful, my dear brother, you will go out to praise your merits. My dear brother, you will have a good journey." Li Qinzai said goodbye to him with a smile.
Xue Ne mounted his horse and proudly gave the order to move forward. The Xue family members beat gongs and drums and shouted slogans again.
This rare shining point in life was thoroughly publicized by Xue Ne, and his fame was not wasted at all.
Li Qinzai certainly didn't want to spoil his good brother's enthusiasm, so he let him carry the body back to Chang'an. Anyway, if he went too far, his own father would teach him how to behave.
After boarding the carriage, Li Qinzai ordered to return to Zhuangzi.
It was almost dawn when we returned to Zhuangzi, and the sky was turning white.
Qiao'er had fallen asleep lying on the carriage, snoring like a very sleepy kitten.
Li Qinzai first stopped the carriage in front of Cui Jie's house and asked her to go home first.
When Cui Jie got off the carriage, she suddenly hesitated, blushed and said softly: "Brother Li Shi, are you still going to the river to fish?"
Li Qinzai was stunned: "Occasionally... I will go."
Cui Jie hummed slightly, stopped talking, got off the carriage and walked into the yard.
In the yard, Cong Shuang was sitting on the stone mill wiping her tears. When she saw Cui Jie coming back, she immediately rushed forward, hugged Cui Jie tightly, and began to cry loudly.
Li Qinzai curled his lips and ordered the driver to drive away quietly, not to disturb the surprise of their reunion after the disaster.
…………
Four criminals were killed, but the matter was not over yet, and there were many things to deal with in the aftermath.
The next day, Li Ji sent someone to pass the news that the Weinan County magistrate had been dismissed and questioned. The Ministry of Punishment sent officials to Weinan County to check the files and account books of Weinan County over the years and inquire about the official reputation.
County lieutenant Zhao Shiyun was taken to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and interrogated by the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Yushitai. If nothing unexpected happened, Zhao Shiyun's life was almost over.
Regardless of the seriousness of the case, the boiling public opinion, or the fact that he hired murderers or even robbed powerful people, each of them was enough for him to behead him several times.
Xu Yuanqing was very lucky, and he survived being stabbed twice. It is still unknown what kind of ability this person has, but what is indisputable is that this guy's luck is considered to be unparalleled.
If he changes his career to cultivating immortals, he will definitely be able to successfully survive the thunder tribulation. Even if he is struck nine times, he will not be killed. Maybe he still has more to say.
After being stabbed at the entrance of the village, Xu Yuanqing's old injuries were not healed, but new ones were added. He lay dying on the bed waiting for doctors to rescue him.
Li Qinzai no longer had any sympathy this time. He was very confident in Xu Yuanqing's vitality. If he didn't keep fit, run, and lift the iron, he would probably not survive him.
This case of Buckwheat's robbery caused quite a stir in Chang'an City. After all, even the emperor was alarmed and even sent palace guards to help find the person.
After the villain was executed and Zhao Shiyun was questioned, more than ten imperial officials soon came to ask the emperor to take a more serious look at the crime.
Today's security in the Tang Dynasty can be said to be open at night. It is said that only a dozen or so people are approved for death row by the Ministry of Punishment every year. In a prosperous Qingming environment, such a shocking case suddenly breaks out, which really discredits the security of the Tang Dynasty.
Without the censor's participation in the impeachment, the officials of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple had already lost face. In terms of face, they were the most shameless after the incident. You can imagine what kind of special care Zhao Shiyun would receive in prison.
After learning that Qiao'er and Cui Jie had been rescued, Li Zhi in the Tai Chi Palace was relieved and sent a eunuch to deliver the order the next day.
There was no seal or reward, but gentle words comforted Li Qinzai and Qiao'er. By the way, he told Li Qinzai to pay more attention to the public order in Zhuangzi. Qiao'er must be accompanied by his subordinates when he goes out to play. This matter can never be repeated.
It was an imperial edict that was very life-like. Li Qinzai felt warm in his heart and became more and more kind to Li Zhi.
Li Ji also sent someone to deliver a letter.
The tone of his grandfather's letter was not so kind. It scolded him from beginning to end, almost turning Li Qinzai into a grandson.
Also sent with the letter were fifty additional troops from the British Government in Chang'an.
Although Li Ji was old, he was not blind. This time Qiao'er was in danger, almost the entire city of Chang'an was alarmed, and even the emperor mobilized the imperial guards.
Li Ji saw this and naturally knew that the emperor and the powerful officials were not doing this for Qiao'er, but purely for Li Qinzai.
Regardless of whether the dignitaries from various families said it was a favor or a sincere offer of help, the importance of Li Qinzai's son was self-evident.
Outsiders are aware of his importance. As a biological grandfather, how could Li Ji ignore it?
So he decisively dispatched fifty additional troops to Ganjingzhuang and placed them under Li Qinzai's personal dispatch.
The dust has settled and everything is calm.
Li Qinzai was exhausted these days, and Qiao'er was somewhat frightened, so Li Qinzai took Qiao'er to rest in another courtyard for a few days.
In the past few days, Li Qinzai always told Qiao'er some sunny and inspiring fairy tales intentionally or unintentionally, trying to erase this dark experience from Qiao'er's memory.
Seeing Qiao'er as innocent and lively as usual, Li Qinzai finally felt relieved.
I don’t know if this little guy really didn’t care, or if he was just being naive. This unpleasant experience didn’t seem to have much psychological impact on him.
Then I thought about it, maybe Cui Jie's sacrifice for protection played a big role in this experience.
She tried her best to protect Qiao'er like a female animal, so for Qiao'er, what he remembers most in this memory is not how cruel and cold the villain was, but Cui Jie's figure when she protected him.
In Qiao'er's eyes, Cui Jie was the only light in the darkness. Fortunately, at that time, his eyes only focused on that light and ignored the other darkness.
A few days later, Li Qinzai finally went to class lazily.
He had so much fun playing with Qiao'er these days that Li Qinzai almost forgot that he still had a group of students.
Rarely getting up early, Li Qinzai dressed neatly and came to the classroom in the backyard.
In the classroom, the dandies were still playing around. When they heard Li Qinzai coughing outside the room, they suddenly became quiet, as if they were sitting upright and I was studying.
Li Qinzai stood by the podium with a smile and said: "First of all, thank you for helping Qiao'er when he was in danger. I will repay this kindness later."
After speaking, Li Qinzai bowed to all the dandies seriously.
Li Sujie and others were so flattered that they stood up quickly and bowed in return.
After Li Qinzai saluted, he smiled and said: "Secondly, I will continue teaching today. I will put aside your kindness and repay it when I have the opportunity. However, I will still be very strict with you during your studies. In my class, It’s still so unfair.”
The faces of all the dandies fell down, and lamentations broke out in the room.
Li Qinzai snorted coldly: "You think being kind to me will make your life in school easier in the future? I treat you as warm and warm as the spring breeze? Haha, Sao Nian, you are too naive."
