She added: "There are so many people here, and these people commit murder in public. What if they bring knives? Most of the people in the book club are students."
"If it were another scholar, he probably wouldn't have as much strength as my husband."
"How do you let others participate in the book club with peace of mind?"
A young man from a certain family who was watching said angrily: "I was just one step closer to them. If it hadn't been for this colleague, I would have been injured. In recent years, the government has become increasingly inactive."
"What do you say every year to ask for life for the people? How many times have you asked for life?"
"That is, you know that this is a book club, but you still let these people in. If something happens, can your government afford it?"
"We need to give an explanation for this matter."
Many people looked at the officers and soldiers. The officers and soldiers didn't say anything when they saw the crowd. After all, they were scholars and could not afford to offend. They just grabbed the dirt on the ground and left.
When they walked away, Su Yan looked at Qin An, her eyes fell on his hands, which were a little red, "Go home and apply ointment."
"It's okay, it will fade away after a while." Qin An shook his head.
Qin family
As soon as the two of them arrived at the door of their home, they saw a carriage at the door. Before they could walk in, Li De opened the curtain and walked down, nodding to the two of them.
"Can I come into the hospital to talk?"
Su Yan nodded, and then Xiao Lan got off the carriage. Her figure seemed to be even thinner than the last time she saw her.
She coughed twice and then entered the courtyard.
After closing the door, Li De took the initiative and said: "Don't worry about the government affairs. We will solve it. Just study in peace."
He paused and then said: "Madam, they all know what's going on with you, but it's just not convenient for them to take action, which will cause greater harm."
"My wife is really worried, so she took this trip."
Xiao Lan knew that the two of them were disgusted, so he didn't show up more, just to draw more attention to them.
Furthermore, those in the capital are keeping a close watch, and it is easy for people to detect any abnormalities at the slightest movement.
Qin An's current ability is not enough to appear in front of hundreds of officials.
When Su Yan heard that they would take care of it, she felt a little relieved. At least the government would not help others to make things difficult for them.
As long as the government doesn't help, others won't get in the way.
She is not so pushy that she thinks she can solve it on her own. In this place, it can be said that it is very easy for an official to kill someone.
"Thanks."
Xiao Lan looked up at her and shook her head slightly, "That's what I should do."
She looked at Cuilan holding Tuantuan and asked, "Can you give me a hug?"
Su Yan looked at Cuilan and motioned for her to hug her. Cuilan hugged Tuantuan and Xiao Lan reached out and hugged Tuantuan with a smile on her face.
Tuantuan's soft and cute appearance is very endearing. He grins when he looks at everyone. Xiao Lan said softly: "This child is in good health."
"Well, he eats a lot." Su Yan bent down and pulled the ball of clothes to prevent the wind from entering her stomach.
Xiao Lan handed the child to her, turned her head and coughed a few more times.
Su Yan handed the child to Qin An, then went to the kitchen to bring her warm water and said, "If you keep coughing like this, you will get lung disease."
Xiao Lan said with an old-fashioned look: "It's not a problem."
She stood up and said, "We'll leave first."
After speaking, he glanced at Qin An and said, "Don't worry, people are watching here, you can study in peace."
The two of them left Qin's house. In the carriage, Li De looked at Xiao Lan and said respectfully: "Madam, are you going to the Yamen?"
Xiao Lan nodded, "Yeah."
yamen
The official ran into the magistrate's study and said, "Sir, someone wants to see you." After saying this, he handed over a jade plaque.
The county magistrate took it and saw the words "Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites" on the back of the character "Xiao". His face changed drastically and he quickly put on his official hat and said, "Let them in quickly."
The two people who came were not ministers of the Ministry of Rites. The county magistrate suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still respectful and asked, "What are you doing for me?"
Xiao Lan glanced at Li De. Li De raised his foot and kicked him over with a sullen face, and said in a cold voice: "The county magistrate is very powerful."
The county magistrate immediately fell to the ground, ignoring the pain in his chest, and then kowtowed with a fearful look on his face, "I don't understand, please speak clearly."
Xiao Lan sat on the stool and exuded a solemn air, "Corruption and bribery will inevitably lead to death."
"If you don't have a subordinate, please tell me clearly." The county magistrate kept kowtowing.
Li De took out a piece of guilt paper from his arms and gave it to him, "What else are you trying to argue with?"
He added: "But now there is a chance for you to make up for your mistakes."
"A thorough investigation into the matter of Qin An's family will be concluded in the future."
"Qin'an? Which Qin'an?" The county magistrate couldn't think of anyone in the great fear.
Li De snorted coldly and kicked him again, "You dare to mess around without anyone checking him out. If something happens to him, your whole family and nine clans won't be able to punish him."
"I'm going to investigate right now. Please spare my life." The county magistrate is used to playing tricks on others in the county town. After all, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and no one in the capital is willing to come down to investigate.
Unexpectedly, the Minister of Rites came down to investigate in person.

Qin family
Xiao Lan's words reassured Su Yan a lot, at least she didn't have to worry about anything happening to Qin An going to school.
The clothes in the yard were all dry. She took them into the room and sat by the bed to fold them. When she was about to finish folding, her feet suddenly cramped and she hissed.
Qin An, who was reading by the window, heard the sound and immediately stood up and came over, saying in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
"My feet are cramped."
Hearing what she said, Qin An subconsciously knelt down to take off her shoes, then gently squeezed her feet, going back and forth a dozen times.
After Su Yan felt relieved, she said, "It's okay."
Qin An continued to rub it for a while, then put her shoes on, looked at the pile of clothes on the bed and said, "I'll fold them."
"You keep trying again and again, so go and study."
Su Yan signaled him not to "make trouble" here. It's rough for a man to do such a delicate job. Last time he folded the clothes in the closet and poured them all out as soon as he opened them.
Seeing that he didn't move, she said half-jokingly: "I'll call you when I get cramps."
The next moment, she was hit on the forehead. It didn't hurt. Qin An said with a straight face: "Don't talk nonsense."
"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense and go study. When my husband-in-law reads it out, I will let him fold clothes every day."
"good."
Qin An looked at her smiling little face and his throat felt a little itchy. Then he stood up and closed the door and the window. Before Su Yan could react, he was hugging her on the bed the next moment.
She was also worried about her folded clothes, "clothes."
Qin An turned around and put the clothes on the table, saying hoarsely: "Daughter-in-law..."
Su Yan blushed slightly, put her hands on his chest, and whispered: "It's sunny in the sky, I will make food for Tuan Tuan later."
"Let him find his wife to get it by himself."
The woman kept laughing, and the man laughed too. The two of them lay on the bed for a while before getting up.
When night fell, Mrs. Ren Li came over and said with a smile: "Business is very good today. My father-in-law asked me to call you over for dinner."
Qin An is not studying today, so Su Yan and Cuilan went to buy a lot of vegetables. She explained: "We are already cooking, let's wait for another day."
Ren Li had already smelled the fragrance and didn't force them, "Okay, let's make it clear."
She thought of something and said: "You have investigated the matter. It is the person the Qi family is looking for. The government will arrest him this afternoon and he will be detained for one year."
