"Even you can't calculate it, so the enemy this time may be very serious." Yu Ping said.

"Think slowly about the rest of the matter. Let's resolve the false accusation first..."

Li Qingxian kept deducing various possibilities, and even though he was suppressed by unknown forces, he still found some clues.

The rooster crows to announce the dawn, the clouds are gathering, the north wind is blowing, and light snow is falling.

Li Qingxian found Liu Yitian and others to discuss the plan, and then sent people to implement it.

After having breakfast, drinking morning tea, and walking in the yard, the group of people left the yard, took dozens of high-grade Shen Gong sect members with them, met Team Leader Ding, and headed to the county government together.

A group of people walked slowly in the wind and snow, with Team Leader Ding and several guards helplessly following behind.

After entering Qiyuan City, after walking a few steps, I saw a man lying stiffly on the ground, covered with a thick layer of white snow.

After walking for a while, there was a man in the corner covered with withered grass. His face was blue and black, and he had no breath.

Li Qingxian raised his head and glanced at the sky in Qiyuan City.

When Mr. Da was in Qiyuan City, the situation in Qiyuan City deteriorated rapidly.

These days, the situation has been much calmer, but because of the cold weather and the demon tribe moving south, the situation in Qiyuan City is still unclear.

Even though there are porridge shops everywhere, people still keep dying.

"How is the price of food?" Li Qingxian asked.

Xu Fang said: "The price of food in Qiyuan City and surrounding cities is more expensive than in the prosperous areas south of the Yangtze River. Even when the harvest is at its best, a bucket of grain costs 5 cents. If there is no natural disaster, a bucket of rice costs 30 cents. But once During a major disaster, a bucket of rice can even cost 100 cash. During the worst days of the year, a bucket of rice cost a thousand bucks. At that time, people really couldn’t live anymore. I just asked yesterday, and now a bucket of grain can be sold for 50 cash. , and it’s still rising, rising every day.”

Li Qingxian frowned and said, "The price of rice is 50 Wen, or is it the price of coarse grains?"

"Coarse grains. The current price of rice is at least 70 cents per bucket." Xu Fang said.

"This is the price of a catastrophe." Li Qingxian said.

Liu Yitian nodded and said: "I didn't expect you to understand food prices at such a young age. Indeed, the recent food prices in Qiyuan City are very abnormal."

"No one cares?"

"No one dares. Anyone who dares to take charge will either be transferred away or die here." Liu Yitian said.

"Then what was the price of food when Mr. Gang Feng was here?"

Liu Yitian said with respect: "The price of grains was high and low back then, but it never exceeded 30 yuan. Those profiteers were punished by Mr. Gang Feng. Mr. Gang Feng was different from other officials. He was an upright official. Don’t force it. Aren’t those grain merchants driving up prices? Then Mr. Gang Feng took the Daqi law and found fault with the grain merchants bit by bit. As long as he found out a little bit, he would confiscate the money or property of the grain merchants openly, and then buy the grain merchants. Grain is sold to the people at a fair price. In addition, there are many methods. Those grain merchants really can't deal with Mr. Gang Feng, so they must lower the price honestly to ensure safety."

"What about this county magistrate?" Li Qingxian asked.

Liu Yitian said nothing.

Wang Shoude said: "Take the lead in driving up prices."

Liu Yitian glared at Wang Shoude.

Wang Shoude curled his lips and touched the fan on his waist.

In the wind and snow, everyone's footsteps became heavier and heavier.

When I arrived at the county government office, I saw people kneeling on both sides of the road from the government office to the public hall. More than a hundred people, by a rough count, were wearing sackcloth and wearing filial piety.

When they saw the people from Shen Gong Sect, their cries suddenly shook the sky.

"Master, you died so miserably. You were killed by your sworn brother..."

"Father, you died so unjustly..."

"Master, you shouldn't have let that white-eyed wolf Liu Yitian go..."

Li Qingxian and Liu Yitian looked at each other.

"Murderer! Please magistrate, please catch this murderer!"

"murderer!"

Many people wearing filial piety and white clothes stretched out their arms and pointed at Liu Yitian, like dazzling swords.

Liu Yitian held his head high and stepped forward.

When they arrived at the gate of the county government hall, Team Leader Ding said loudly: "Bring Liu Yitian, the leader of Shen Gong Sect."

"mighty……"

The government officials on both sides of the courtroom shouted loudly and at the same time hit the ground with water and fire sticks.

Some people in the Divine Bow Sect frowned slightly.

Li Qingxian glanced at all the government officials, all of them looking intently and looking serious.

As a night guard, I knew some rules very early on.

For example, the voice of shouting "Tang Wei" determines the attitude of the county magistrate. It is unusual for these government officials to shout so loudly.

Before the magistrate went to court, the defendant suddenly shouted "powerful" as soon as he arrived. This kind of low-level power was even more unusual.

Everyone stopped outside the threshold of the court and waited quietly.

It was quiet in the courtroom, and the family members of the Shenjian Sect cried together outside the courtroom.

The sun rose higher and higher, but the magistrate still didn't show up.

Liu Yitian sighed.

Li Qingxian said, "Let's wait another quarter of an hour. If the county magistrate has something to do, let him do it first."

Team leader Ding hurriedly smiled and said: "Don't be anxious, everyone. The county magistrate must be busy with important things and will be raised to court soon."

After saying that, Team Leader Ding winked at a yamen servant, and the yamen servant quietly left.

Time passed slowly, and after a quarter of an hour was seen on the horoscope, Li Qingxian said: "Since the magistrate is busy, let's come back tomorrow and leave."

Team Ding took the first step forward and hurriedly stopped him: "Everyone, wait a moment, just a moment."

Li Qingxian slowly turned to Wang Shoude and asked, "What was the last name of the leader who blocked our Shen Gong Sect?"

"The surname is Mei." Wang Shoude said.

Yu Ping added: "Let the river guards chop him to death."

Team Leader Ding was so frightened that cold sweat broke out from his back. He backed away, bent down and said, "Please wait a moment, sir. I will send someone to ask for the county magistrate right away."

At this moment, footsteps came from behind the court.

Everyone looked up and saw a middle-aged man with fair complexion and average build wearing an official uniform. He walked up to the official chair from the side without squinting, then sat down and knocked on the gavel.

Snapped!

"Ascending to the Hall!"

"mighty……"

"Dong dong dong..."

The government officials shouted "Tangwei" while banging water and fire sticks, making the court more solemn.

County Magistrate Wen Siyan glanced at everyone, expressionless, and shouted: "Who is kneeling in this hall?"

I saw an old lady at the front of the line wiping away her tears and crying: "The daughter of the common people, Lu Dai, is the wife of the third wife of her deceased husband Lu Nanqiong. Because the lady is not good at speaking, the daughter of the common people is temporarily acting as the plaintiff to sue God. Gong sent Liu Yitian to burn down the Shenjian Sect and plunder the Lu family's property. If he hadn't escaped quickly, he would have even destroyed my entire Lu family."

Wen Siyan nodded and was about to speak, but Li Qingxian shouted violently: "A concubine who is just a trafficker and a lackey dares to violate etiquette and call herself madam, which is treason! County Magistrate Wen, my wife is a first- and second-grade concubine of the imperial court. The honorable status is a great gift of the country and cannot be overstepped. I also hope that County Magistrate Wen will severely punish this woman in accordance with the laws of Daqi. If County Magistrate Wen does not punish this woman severely, I am afraid that the Yushitai will not let this matter go by tomorrow."

The family members of the Shenjian Sect, the government officials, and even the Shen Gong Sect were all deceived.

Wen Siyan sat on a high position, looked down, stared at Li Qingxian for a long time, and said, "Who are you?"

"Li Jingqiu, a guest from Shen Gong."
