Zhu Hongyan smiled and said, "I forgot, not to mention that he is so capable, and you, Mr. Xu, are here."
Mr. Xu laughed and said, "This show is not over yet, and no one knows what the outcome will be. Let's just watch the show!"
Zhu Hongyan also poured herself a glass of wine.
"Mr. Xu, Hongyan actually has another doubt. Why does Li Qian insist on forcing the prefect to resign?" she asked, holding a wine glass.
Mr. Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, "You can ask him this question in person if you have the chance."
"He didn't even look at Hongyan, and didn't give me a chance to get close to him, so how could I ask." Zhu Hongyan sighed slightly.
"Everyone gets drunk without being drunk. Didn't he say this to you that day? Why didn't he look at you?" Mr. Xu said with a smile.
Zhu Hongyan took a sip of wine and said, "He also said there is no free lunch in the world. I don't even know what he means."
Mr. Xu chuckled and said, "When you have the chance, you can ask him together."
Zhu Hongyan held the wine glass, yes, she must ask clearly when she has the chance.
…
The county magistrate was a little frightened early in the morning.
Shen Ji, the owner of Qingfeng Company, had his entire family wiped out.
Only one concubine survived, and she came to surrender before dawn.
Seeing that the concubine was covered in blood, it would be strange for him not to be too frightened.
This is another difficult case.
He felt like his heart couldn't bear it.
Who is the person behind Qingfeng Company? How could he not know.
And it is said that this matter is related to Li Qian.
Because after the concubine came to surrender, someone came with a bloody note, saying that Li Qian sent someone to surrender at Fugui Building yesterday.
Many people were at the scene and could testify.
The county magistrate only felt that his head was as big as an ox.
Why is this Li Qian so troublesome? The things he has caused are earth-shattering.
But the good news is that He Rong was reinstated and temporarily took over the post of Dongcheng Lieutenant.
In other words, he could leave everything to He Rong.
He, the county magistrate, could finally escape.
He even handed over the county government's order seal to He Rong, but he also ran back to the countryside to recuperate on the pretext of complaining about illness.
"Congratulations, Mr. He, for finally being reinstated!"
When He Rong appeared in front of Li Qian in official uniform, Li Qian immediately congratulated him.
He Rong glanced at Li Qian and originally wanted to ask Li Qian why he knew yesterday that he would be reinstated as an official today.
But thinking about it, let it go. What this person wanted to say was said yesterday.
"Li Qian, do you know Shen Ji?"
"Shen Ji? Who is it?" Li Qian looked thoughtful.
"He is the owner of Qingfeng Company. Last night his entire family was silenced. Only one concubine survived. This morning he came to the county government office before dawn to surrender," He Rong said.
"Then I'm surprised. Since the family was exterminated, why did this concubine survive?" Li Qian said with a smile.
"She said she escaped by pretending to be dead," He Rong said.
"Master He, do you believe it?" Li Qian said with a smile.
"This kind of thing is not impossible, why can't you believe it?" He Rong said.
"Then did she say who destroyed the door?" Li Qian asked.
"She said she didn't know, but after her, someone else came to surrender, saying that you killed Shen Ji and wiped out his entire family!" He Rong said.
Li Qian smiled, "I'm in prison now, how can I kill others?"
"Master He doesn't really believe it, does he?"
