Lu Li finally finished the handover with the new magistrate Zhao Ziang, and was invited back to his house by magistrate Qi. Together with Li Rusu and her Liu bodyguard, they lived in the government office.

For several days in succession, the magistrate of Qi asked people to send cases to Lu Li. They were all recent cases in the local area. Although they were small cases of making trouble for the people and committing evil crimes, they were enough to give people a headache. Lu Li stayed at the table all day. At first, he had a sense of mission as the prince to make decisions for the people. Later, he only had to complain for days. Finally, he pretended to be ill, Put the heavy responsibility on Li Rusu.

"Didn't magistrate Qi do all these tasks before you said we didn't come?" Li Rusu just finished reading the last volume of case files, raised his head, rubbed his eyes and said discontentedly, "how come he put all his life on us when we come? What did he do? "

Don't you let yourself be a coolie? Li Rushu is angry that the other party is too cunning. He has just reacted badly.

Lu Li took a bunch of grapes in one hand and slowly peeled off the skin in the other hand. He looked comfortable. When he heard Li Rushu's words, he said lazily: "he brought some gadgets from someone's house. What's the baby like? Maybe he's showing off with others."

Li Rushu remembered that after Lu Li handed over with the new magistrate, magistrate Qi really took a fancy to some jade ornaments. Because they were placed on the front hall table and not in the box on the carriage, they were not sealed. They were regarded as rare by Lord Qi and asked for them from others.

"Vulgar..."

Li Rushu snorted softly. Seeing that it was getting late outside, sleepiness came. He ate something casually and washed himself and went to bed.

As soon as she opened her eyes the next day, she heard a commotion outside. She hurriedly got up, put on her clothes and called Liu Quanyi to ask. The other party said that the house had lost something. Magistrate Qi was looking for it all over the yard.

When I went out, I saw people standing in line in the courtyard. Magistrate Qi and the housekeeper were asking one by one, while Lu Li sat on the pier under the eaves and watched the excitement. When he saw Li Rushu coming out, he waved to her.

"What did he lose? Such a big fight. " Li Rusu sat next to the other party. Seeing that the magistrate Qi's face was very ugly and his eyes were full of skeptical eyes, it seemed that everyone looked like a thief. He couldn't help but be a little strange. A dignified magistrate wouldn't be like this if he lost any treasure.

"A jade oyster." Lu Li said faintly: "he had been looking at it in his hand yesterday. He didn't see enough for a day. Can he not be stared at?"

Seeing what Lu Li said casually, Li Rusu frowned and said, "just a jade dog? Isn't he? "

I always felt that things were not so simple. Sure enough, magistrate Qi didn't ask for a circle. Then he said the key of the thing. Li Rusu and Lu Li were shocked

It turned out that on the day of copying the house, magistrate Qi saw that he was strange, but he didn't open his mouth until he was sure. He wanted to take it home and study it carefully. Unexpectedly, it was lost before it was studied. Can you not make him angry?

Lu Li narrowed his eyes and thought, lowered his voice and said, "that's a jade. There won't be any oddity in the material. If there is... It must be inside!"

That thing is hollow.

As soon as Li Rusu heard this, he also reacted. When he saw that the servants outside had not left, he deliberately raised his voice and said, "why is it difficult? Have you forgotten the luminous powder on the oyster? Wait until the evening to see whose hand will shine, he is a thief! "

Lu Li was stunned. There was no such thing. He was about to make a sound. When he saw Li Rushu squeezing his eyes at him, he quickly reacted and said with a loud smile: "yes, how can I forget this? Lord Qi, you can wait for the retrial in the evening and let these people come. You'll know at that time."

Magistrate Qi didn't see the action of the two people and doubted about the luminous powder, but he thought that they had both seen babies in the palace. Maybe they were ignorant, so he stared and asked, "Lord Li, what you said is true? What if the man washed his hands that day? "

Li Rusu smiled, glanced out and said, "the luminous powder needs to be washed with chili water. Washing hands with ordinary water has no effect at all."

"That's great!" Magistrate Qi was really happy. Then he thought that there were many servants outside who didn't leave. For fear that those people would hear it, he lowered his voice, put his fingers on his mouth and made a silent movement. Then he walked out slowly and scattered the people.

As soon as they left, Qi knew that the house was busy and asked people to block all the doors in the house. They were not allowed to go in and out. However, Li Rushu waved Liu Quan and ordered him to come near. Liu Quan smiled at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. He nodded carefully and went out. When he went out, he gave her a thumbs up.

When it was getting dark, Liu Quancai twisted a servant's arm and pushed each other in front of Lu Li and Li Rusu. He said, "master, it's this boy. He went to the kitchen to steal pepper and was blocked by the little one."

Li Rushu looked at him with the a smile and didn't speak. Seeing that her words deceived people, she still had a sense of the achievement in her heart.

Qi Zhifu couldn't hold his breath. At this time, he came over and said, "Lao Qin? Is that you? "

Later, Li Rushu told him that the luminous powder was a scam. In order to make people take the initiative to steal pepper, but he didn't expect that the thief was the floor sweeper, old Qin, who was in his thirties and hasn't married yet. He just arranged a daughter-in-law for him. He thought the other party would be grateful. Who thought he could steal his own things.

"Master... Master..." Lao Qin knew that he was exposed. He no longer defended himself. He just kowtowed on his knees and said, "master, spare the villain."

"You're so brave. How dare you steal it?" Li Rushu looked at him with a smile on his lips. "Is it right that we can't find you?"

Even if Li Rushu didn't use the luminous powder to attract him, there would be another way. Lao Qin only looked up at her, and was stared down by her fierce eyes. He said, "villain... Just seeing that the thing is exquisite and the master doesn't let go of it, he... Thinks it's expensive and heavy, so he wants to change some silver."

"Where are the things?"

Magistrate Qi burst out and lost patience with this man. He thought that he had just given a lot of money when the other party got married. Within a few days, he came to steal again. I wish he could kick him to death on the spot.

"Villain... Pawned that thing." Lao Qin's back trembled and his face almost touched the ground. Facing the master, he was really ashamed.
