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

Li Yanqi put one hand behind his back and walked into the main hall of the government office calmly.

Qian Sanwen was sitting on a sandalwood chair in the hall with a gloomy face. A little maid in green was kneeling in front of him.

Li Yanqi's black eyes glared at the two people in the hall, raised his red lips and smiled, "Morning, magistrate. I wonder why you called Yanqi to the government office at this time?"

Qian Sanwen's triangular eyes flashed with a sinister light. He looked up and down at the man in black in front of him and said coldly: "Li Yanqi, do you admit your guilt?"

Li Yanqi: “?”

He tilted his head slightly, a few strands of black hair slid down to his shoulders as he moved, and he frowned and said in confusion, "May I ask what crime Yan Qi has committed?"

Qian Sanwen's face turned pale and he slammed the table hard with his hand. The tea in the bowl instantly spilled onto the table.

"You're still trying to quibble now. Don't think that I can't do anything to you just because you're Cai Zhang's man."

"You speak." He pointed at the little maid in green who was kneeling below.

"My Lord, at the flower viewing banquet yesterday, when I was about to serve the dishes, I was suddenly stopped by the young lady."

The maid paused and said, "The young lady said that she liked Madam Li and wanted to give her some nice clothes. She was afraid that Madam Li would not accept them, so she asked me to find a way to dirty Madam Li's clothes. I did so, and then Madam Wang appeared and took Madam Li away to change her clothes."

The little maidservant trembled, her forehead touching the bottom of the bed, and spoke hesitantly.

"I thought this was a good thing, but who knew that the young lady suddenly disappeared and Madam Wang also fell into the pond and drowned. I think this is too coincidental and I dare not lie! Everything I say is true. If I tell a lie, I will get a sore in my throat!"

Qian Sanwen's eyes were blazing with anger. He raised the tea bowl on the table and threw it at Li Yanqi, shouting, "Thief chief, what else do you have to say?"

Li Yanqi moved slightly and avoided the cup of tea.

Seeing him evade, Qian Sanwen could not help but get even more furious, and shouted, "Come here! Throw Li Yanqi into the prison and wait for your punishment!"

There was a sound of "swish" footsteps, and dozens of soldiers with steel swords on their waists rushed into the main hall, and they rushed forward to capture the man without saying a word.

Li Yanqi put his hands behind his back and nimbly dodged the attacks of the palace soldiers. When he saw the palace soldiers draw their weapons, he attacked and knocked over several people who were close to him, knocking down a group of them.

"You are rebelling! Li Yanqi, are you planning to rebel?"

Qian Sanwen opened his triangular eyes wide, and was shocked and frightened. He subconsciously stood up from the sandalwood chair and took a few steps back.

Li Yanqi lowered his rosy eyes, reached out and patted the dust off his black robe, and said in a deep voice: "If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext. Prefect Qian, you didn't even give me a chance to defend myself. You just relied on the one-sided words of a little maid in your own house, and you wanted to kill the lieutenant general of the Jiedushi's mansion?"

His eyes turned fierce: "I would like to ask the prefect, what is your reasoning?"

Qian Sanwen looked closely at the soldier lying on the ground with his hands covering his chest. He was filled with shock and anger, and he suppressed his anger and questioned him.

"My precious daughter Caixia and Madam Wang have been staying in the backyard of the government office all this time. After they came into contact with your wife, they both met with an accident last night. I heard from the maid that your wife had an argument with Caixia. Who else could it be if not you?"

"last night?"

Li Yanqi snorted coldly, his face full of coldness.

"I wonder if Lord Qian knows that last night, when you were sleeping soundly, several troops came from the west of the state capital and harassed the nearby residents. A girl was kidnapped by those soldiers."

"I did not rest all night, leading the troops to hunt down those ruffians. After a fierce battle all night, I was lucky to rescue them. I also killed and captured most of the invading bandits."

"Now! Magistrate Qian wants to punish me because of the ambiguous words of a maid?"

Li Yanqi sneered, brushed off the dust on his body, and said slowly: "It's really disheartening."

Qian Sanwen's face was blank, and he didn't know how to react for a moment. He looked at the maid kneeling on the ground, then raised his head to look at Li Yanqi.

Only then did he realize that Li Yanqi's martial arts robe embroidered with bamboo leaf patterns was covered with mottled dust and mud. He had always thought that it was the pattern of the clothes.

"This... is just words, but it is not enough..."

"Hahaha."

A hearty laugh came from far away and Cai Zhang stepped into the hall. He glanced at the situation in the hall and drove away all the palace soldiers.

"Old Qian, what are you doing? Yan Qi performed heroically last night. Not only did he rescue the people, he also annihilated all the soldiers and captured them. He is now a great hero to you and me! Why are you still shouting at him to be killed?"

Prefect Qian was already in a difficult situation. Apart from a little maid's speculation, he had no direct evidence to prove that it was Li Yanqi who did it.

Moreover, Li Yanqi actually went to fight the invading enemy last night, and Cai Zhang also provided evidence to support this.

He had just pulled out knives and guns against Li Yanqi, and was shouting for killing. If this situation isn't handled properly, I'm afraid it won't end well.

Prefect Qian thought for a few moments, took a few steps forward, and slapped the little maid in green so hard that she fell to the side.

He angrily shouted, "It's all your fault, you slut. You've been playing tricks on me and stirring up trouble between me and Lieutenant General Li!"

The maid was shaking, covering her face and huddled aside, sobbing quietly.

Li Yanqi frowned slightly.

As soon as Qian Sanwen turned around, a smile appeared on his face.

"Yanqi, I have always believed that you are not the kind of person who bullies women. All of this is because of this maid. As an apology, I will give her to you. You can take her home and beat or kill her as you like."

"No thanks, thank you for your kindness, Lord Prefect."

A cold light flashed across Li Yanqi's eyes. When Emperor Jing was still alive, although Qian Sanwen was corrupt and incompetent, he had restrained himself. But after King Cheng started the rebellion, he regarded himself as the local emperor of Chongzhou.

He was extremely extravagant and had the power of life and death over those below him.

The wife of the prefect spent tens of thousands of silver dollars on a flower-viewing banquet.

The magistrate's daughter was violent and overbearing. If something went wrong for her, she would destroy the reputation of a woman or even kill her.

Thinking of this, Li Yanqi suddenly became furious.

He gritted his teeth and glared at Qian Sanwen with his eyes raised.

"I can forget about what happened here, but please give me an explanation for the injustice my wife suffered in your house yesterday."
