I am Changsheng in Daqin

Chapter 28 Evidence
As night falls, the Li family is extremely quiet.

Li Yuanshi sat on the bed and glared at Li Qing.

Li Qing was like a child who had made a mistake, sitting on the chair with half a leg missing, clasping his hands, lowering his head, saying nothing.

Li Yue and Haitang were lighting a fire in the main room.

"Sister Haitang, what mistake did you make again? Mom's eyes almost popped out." Li Yue asked.

"There's not enough firewood. I'm going to get the firewood. You keep an eye on it and don't let it burn outside." Haitang said, got up and left.

Li Yue fiddled with the flame in the stove with a fire stick, sparks splashed everywhere, and in the darkness, her little face was flushed red.

"Bring it here." Li Yuanshi finally said.

Li Qing raised his head: "What?"

"What else could it be? You're the one who caused the trouble." Li Yuanshi said angrily.

Li Qing chuckled: "That's just a toy."

Li Yuanshi got up and got off the kang, rushed to Li Qing, snatched the slingshot from his waist, and threw it directly into the stove pit.

"Mother, this is for my brother to hunt, why did you burn it?"

Li Yue said and hurriedly reached for it with a fire stick.

"Get out of here." Li Yuanshi took the fire stick and thrust the slingshot deep into the pit.

Li Yue was very anxious, and ran to Li Qing to report: "Mother burned your slingshot, are you stupid? Still sitting here."

Li Qing took out another handful from his arms, smiled, and whispered: "Burn it, burn it, there is one more."

Li Yue clapped her hands and smiled: "Oh, that's great, brother, you have two slingshots!"

"Shh! Keep your voice down." Li Qing was shocked and lowered his voice: "If my mother finds out, I won't have anything to hunt for you."

Li Yue covered her mouth, nodded, climbed onto the kang, and whispered, "How about you hide the slingshot under the quilt."

"Don't worry about it." Li Qing said, secretly glancing towards the main room.

Li Yuanshi was sitting in front of the stove, and Haitang had already brought firewood into the house.

"Mom, don't be angry. Take care of yourself." Haitang said while adding firewood to the stove pit.

"It's a lie to say he's not angry. I'm just wondering. When did this bastard become so capable? He had this bastard mentality before, but he didn't have the capability."

Li Yuanshi said and sighed.

"Mom, everything has two sides. If you say it's a bad thing, it's a bad thing. But if you think about it from another angle, it might be a good thing."

Haitang said, opened the lid of the pot, stirred it a few times with a horse spoon, and saw that the porridge was too thick: "Hey, mother, you have to lower the fire, the pot is about to dry."

Li Yuanshi took away the firewood, quickly stood up, scooped half a ladle of water and poured it into the pot.

After finishing the meal, Haitang continued what he just said, "Mom, do you know, Brother Qing saved a child today."

"Child?" Li Yuanshi was confused.

Haitang moved the wooden pillar over, sat in front of Li Yuanshi, and recounted today's situation.

The serious relationship between this, as well as the hidden dangers that will be faced in the future, as well as many unexpected problems, were carefully analyzed by Li Yuanshi.

After hearing this, Li Yuanshi broke out in a cold sweat: "What you said...is it true?"

Haitang nodded, Li Yuanshi didn't have any doubts in Chen Ken's eyes.

Li Yuanshi suddenly realized that he picked up the fire stick and tried to get the slingshot, but it was too late.

"Mom, a slingshot is nothing, the most important thing is your heart, the heart that can put yourself in Brother Qing's shoes and understand and tolerate."

Haitang said this and gently held Li Yuanshi's hand.

Li Yuanshi was completely moved by Haitang's words. When she saw Haitang, she seemed to see her younger self——

Back then, Li Tie was also a courageous, careful and courageous man, and he also did many thrilling things.

At that time, I also looked at everything he did from his perspective.

When my son grows up, why isn't he what he used to be?
Could it be that he is really old?
Li Yuanshi couldn't help but burst into tears when she thought of this.

"Mom, the rice is ready." Haitang opened the lid of the pot, and the hot steam filled her nostrils.

"Brother Qing, stop sitting there, wash your hands and eat. Mom knows you didn't drink enough Laba porridge, so she's making new one for you now." Haitang said while serving the porridge.

Li Qing raised his eyes and glanced at Li Yuanshi.

Li Yuanshi brought the porridge into the house: "Why are you still huddled there, waiting for me to feed you?"

"Oh, let's drink Laba porridge!"

Seeing that Li Yuanshi's tone had softened, Li Qing jumped up excitedly, ran to the pot, kissed Haitang on the cheek, and said:

"Having such a good wife, what more can a husband ask for?"

Haitang enjoyed Li Qing's sudden kiss very much, smiled lightly, and continued to serve the porridge.

……

within the county government.

A group of yamen servants did not dare to go home after receiving [-] big boards, and had to stay in the yamen to listen to the training.

"This matter today, I always feel that it is not that simple in this county. Who can say a few words?"

"..."

Seeing everyone's silence, the county magistrate said angrily: "I'm afraid these twenty big boards are missing. Someone, come here, take them out and hit another twenty big boards."

All the government officials were so frightened that they all kowtowed and begged for mercy.

The thin yamen servant scrambled and scrambled, came to the county magistrate, and said: "Master, you don't know, today's matter is all thanks to the fat boss."

The county magistrate held the tea bowl and as soon as he brought it to his mouth, he asked, "How do you say this?"

"Assuming that the fat man was really killed by Li Qing, he also asked for this death."

When the thin yamen officer said this, he rubbed his buttocks and continued: "This afternoon, we went to Li's house to check. The fat man found a piece of black iron. He wanted to get it, and that's why we had that competition."

The county magistrate is confused——

Xuan Tie?

Iron beads?

Why are they all tied to the iron bar?

"How many iron shops are there in Xincheng County now?" the county magistrate asked.

"Currently, there is only Li's Iron Shop in business. Not only Xincheng County, but also several surrounding counties have disappeared, and they were all arrested by the King of Qin." Said the thin yamen servant.

"My brother-in-law is pitiful. He still doesn't sleep with his eyes open! Investigate, do a thorough investigation for this county, focusing on the Li family iron shop, especially the iron beads, and the black iron and the like. Anyone who dares to kill me, I think he is alive. It’s a month!”

boom--

The county magistrate said the last thing, gritting his teeth and almost slapping the gavel in half.

The thin yamen officer looked puzzled: "Sir, why didn't you arrest Li Qing? Although we can't produce irrefutable evidence that he committed murder, we can detain him first as a suspect."

"What you give is all tasteless farts. Do we still need you to teach in this county? In front of so many people, I have to take care of my image. What's deplorable is that I really can't produce any evidence!"

When the county magistrate said this, he couldn't help sighing: "That kid Li Qing really has a three-inch tongue!"

At this time, a middle-aged man with a mustache knocked on the door and entered. This man was Master Jiang's housekeeper.

When I came to the lobby, I saluted first and said, "My lord, I found this by accident when I was sorting out Mr. Jiang's belongings."

The things were presented to the county magistrate.

——It's a one-point record, and an eagle's leg bone.

The county magistrate was overjoyed after reading it.

"Okay, with these evidences, how can he argue? The county wants to use his three-inch tongue to pay homage to the spirit of my brother-in-law!"
