Watching Li Qing enter the room, it took the three girls a while to react. For a moment, they were speechless.
I just came back from the gate of hell yesterday, and now I have to go to Taoyuan. Is it okay?
Wan Ling looked at Hong Xiu worriedly, "Sister, that... isn't that tiring?"
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing, sister." Hong Xiu said, "I just need to be a little tired. I won't make my husband tired."
Lianxiang warned, "Just let your husband be at ease. Don't worry about yourself."
"You girl...am I that kind of person?" Hongxiu glared at her, "You guys clean up, I'm going over."

Room.
Li Qing pretended to read the book, then glanced at Hongxiu coming in, turned the page of the book, and said calmly, "Close the door."
"Squeak~!"
Hong Xiu closed the door, walked forward slowly, and said softly: "Sir, you are not well yet, so you'd better not do that.
The maid came up with a new way to play, which will not make the husband tired but still give the same experience."
"New gameplay?"
Li Qing put down the medical book and said, "Let's talk and listen."
Hong Xiu did not speak, but took out a red pomegranate from behind, then broke it open and took out the fruit.
He made a small handful and stuffed it into his mouth. His cheeks were bulging and he looked at Li Qing with a lively expression.
"Ah? This..." Li Qing suddenly understood, with a sanctimonious look on his face, "Then do it as you wish."
…
Two quarters of an hour later, Hongxiu spit out the rotten pomegranate pulp, took a breath and said:
"Sir, take good care of yourself. When you are well, I can do whatever you want, but not these days."
After a pause, "Lianxiang wouldn't agree either."
"Okay, then just wait a few days." Li Qing agreed with a smile.
In fact, he is already half recovered, but this method of playing is very novel and he wants to experience it a few more times.
"Then sir, take a rest and I won't disturb you."
"Well, come and call me in an hour." Li Qing put his pillow on his head and said, "I have official business in the afternoon."
"Okay sir." Hongxiu exited the room and closed the door.
Li Qing suffered a lot in the past two days and fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.
As soon as you close your eyes and open them, an hour will pass.
Stretching out, the bones in his body crackled, and Li Qing, who felt comfortable, groaned, "It feels good."
After coming to the yard and washing his face, Li Qing opened the door and shouted: "Here comes someone!"
After a while, several guards in royal robes came over and said, "I have seen the Governor."
Nowadays, at twelve o'clock a day, a hundred-person uniformed guard patrols the small courtyard, which provides excellent defense.
"Go and call Liu Qiang and Li Yu."
"yes."
Seeing that their husband was busy with official duties, the three women moved tables and chairs, put teapots and teacups on them, and then entered the room.
Half an hour later, Liu Qiang and Li Yu hurried over.
"I have seen you in my humble position, sir."
"Everyone, please take a seat." Li Qing pointed to the chair, "Have you found out who was behind it?"
The two of them thanked each other and said awkwardly, "Not yet."
Liu Qiang explained, "At present, it can be determined that those people are not locals of the capital. As for where they come from, detailed investigation is needed."
After a pause, "Actually, I have a way to save my worries, but..."
"Don't worry about anything." Li Qing poured two cups of tea and gently pushed them over, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
The two people hurriedly reached out to take it. Liu Qiang took a big sip and said: "Start with the generals guarding the city. Those people don't have wings. The generals guarding the city must have seen them."
"You mean... the soldiers guarding the city should be interrogated in Zhao Prison?"
"Yes, I have already asked the soldiers guarding the city, but they all said they have never seen it." Liu Qiang sneered, "If I expected it to be true, they must have benefited from the instigator behind it."
Li Qing pondered for a while, "Okay, let's arrest him and find out the person behind this as soon as possible."
After a pause, "The other party will definitely not bribe the top soldiers. Don't go into a big fight. Just arrest a few senior generals responsible for guarding the city."
"I humbly obey my command." The two of them bowed their hands.
Li Qing took a sip of tea and asked about the corruption case: "In the Sixth Department, the Procuratorate, etc., is there anyone who can't keep calm and takes the initiative to surrender and report?"
"Not yet." Li Yu shook his head and immediately smiled, "But it's all over."
Liu Qiang cupped his hands and said, "Sir, if you want to achieve quick results, you have to take the initiative and arrest a group of people first. The rest will definitely be numb."
"no!"
"Sir, there is no need to be merciful to those people..."
"There is a will." Li Qing said, "We only investigate the case and do not arrest people. We only need to collect charges."
"Ah?" The two looked puzzled, "In that case, it won't be so easy to collect charges!
Moreover, what’s the point of collecting charges if you don’t arrest people?”
Li Qing drank the tea in the cup in one gulp and said: "This is the holy will, just do it."
The two smiled bitterly, cupped their hands and said, "Yes, sir."
After talking about official business and chatting for a while, the two of them said goodbye and left.
…
In the evening, the palace meal arrived as promised.
Li Qing picked two sumptuous meat dishes and kept them for his master before inviting the three girls to eat.
"Go to bed early at night and don't be surprised if you hear strangers talking." Li Qing gave several girls vaccinations.
The three women nodded doubtfully, "I understand, sir."
After dinner, Hongxiu played the piano and Wanling danced. Li Qing had a little entertainment and then went back to his room to read.
"Law of the Ming Dynasty"
Li Qing flipped through it for more than an hour before closing it. The Ming Law was set by Zhu Yuanzhang, but the regulations inside were not entirely from Zhu Yuanzhang's handwriting.
A large part of them come from the laws that existed in the previous dynasties, before the previous dynasties, before the previous dynasties...
"Finally finished reading it." Li Qing put the Great Ming Law aside, stretched out, and lay on the bed waiting for his master.
About two quarters of an hour later, Zhang Slutty arrived late.
Li Qing stood up quickly, asked him to sit down, and said with a smile: "Master, please give me some advice, we have money now."
"A gangster must look like a gangster." Zhang Sloppy was not ashamed, "I have been a gangster for my teacher for hundreds of years, so I cannot lose the basic qualities of a gangster."
Li Qing couldn't laugh or cry when he heard these fallacies, "Okay, as long as you like it."
As he said that, he pointed to the dishes on the table and said, "Try the royal meal that the emperor rewarded."
"I didn't tell you if I had something delicious to eat." Zhang Sloppy complained, "If I had known, I would have saved my stomach."
With that said, he stepped forward to pick up the roast duck and started to eat it.
"...Master, don't be overwhelmed."
"Look what you said, I have a good appetite." Zhang Sloppy ate happily, "The imperial meal is different, the roast duck is cooked to a very good level."
Li Qing saw that he was eating happily, and he was also very happy, "There will be more tomorrow. Master, whatever you like to eat, I will ask the imperial kitchen to make it."
"You have such a big reputation?" Zhang Sloppy looked surprised, then realized it and thought about it, "Let's have a roast leg of lamb!"
Li Qing rolled his eyes, "Can you finish eating?"
"I'll take it away if you can't finish it."
"..."
A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Sloppy had eaten and drank enough, and fumbled around in his tattered collar for a while, "Here's this for you."
"Ah? This..."
Li Qing took it stupidly, looked at the marble-sized gray-brown elixir, and said nonchalantly, "Master, didn't you rub this elixir on your body?"
"Screw you, this is what I made when I made a bet with Niubi at Longhu Mountain, and he lost to me." Zhang said sloppily, "You have weak foundation, this thing is good for you."
"Really?" Li Qing looked unbelieving.
"If you don't want to eat, give it to me."
"No." Li Qing hurriedly stuffed it into his mouth and muttered, "There is no reason to take back what you gave away, and you are also picking on your own apprentice... I'll go, it's so hard!
Master, when did you get this?"
"It seems to be more than twenty years ago."
"Oh shit, it's expired and you still let me eat it!?"
"Don't vomit." Zhang Sloppy covered his mouth, "Old Niubi is still good at making alchemy. Even if it takes a long time, it will still be effective."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Li Qing swallowed it without paying attention, and said in despair, "I'm going to have a stomachache now."
"You've got a bargain but you still behave well." Zhang Sloppy said angrily, "This is a really good thing. How do you feel now?"
Li Qing shook his head, "It's been more than twenty years, what else can I do... I'll go, my stomach is so hot, ah...
Master, I can’t hold on!
It feels like my stomach and intestines are going to be burned through. Is this poison?"
"It poisons your head." Zhang Sloppy slapped his back and said in a deep voice: "Bao Yuan Gui Yi, let me guide your true energy."
"Well, Master, you have to hurry up." Li Qing's face was full of pain, "I can't stand it anymore."
"Stop talking nonsense and endure the pain."
…
Half an hour later, Li Qing was breathing heavily, with big beads of sweat rolling down his face.
Zhang Sloppy took back his hand and asked with a smile: "How do you feel?"
"Uncomfortable."
"I'm asking about now." Zhang Slutty glared at him and said, "You can have some fun and feel the energy by running it."
Li Qing did as he was told, and after a while, he suddenly opened his eyes with a look of shock on his face.
"Zhenqi moves like clouds and flowing water without any sluggishness. In one week, it is 30% faster than before. Isn't this awesome?"
Li Qing was silly, "Master, do you still have this thing?"
"Do you think it's a jelly bean?" Zhang Slutty rolled his eyes, "When I meet the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, I'll ask him for one again. Only the Heavenly Master can practice this thing, but the next one won't be available.
Such a good effect.”
"Hmm, then this disciple would like to thank the master first."
After a pause, "This thing is so magical and must be precious. What if the other party doesn't give it to me?"
Zhang smiled sloppily, "I'll give it to you after a beating."
