Chapter 139: Stir-Fried Pork with Chili 1/4

Li Qingzhi took them out after breakfast to buy things for the morning and took a look at the bustling shops in the prosperous area of the prefectural city.

At noon, they returned to Fang Xiuniang’s place.

Even before entering the house, Li Qingzhi caught the enticing smell of pickled mustard greens, instantly feeling a bit hungry.

He quickly walked into the kitchen and saw the auntie frying pancakes. “Auntie, the pancakes you made are too fragrant. I’ve never smelled such a delicious aroma in my life!”

The auntie smiled until her eyes squinted. She picked up a freshly made pickled mustard greens pancake with a pair of chopsticks and put it in a bowl, then handed the chopsticks to Li Qingzhi. “I’m not sure if the pancake is cooked well. Would you mind tasting it for me?”

“Thank you, auntie.” Li Qingzhi stood by and ate the pancake. With each bite, he praised, “Auntie, these pancakes are fried just right!”

“The pickled mustard greens soaked up the pork fat, so delicious!”

“Did it take you a lot of time to make these pancakes? Thank you so much for the trouble, auntie.”

“Just making a meal, no trouble at all!” The auntie was delighted!

She liked chatting with people. When she first came to the prefectural city with Fang Xiuniang, she always talked to Fang Xiuniang.

But on the first day, Fang Xiuniang burned her face in front of her.

She had lived for almost fifty years and had never seen such a scene before, she was frightened. After that, she didn’t dare to talk to Fang Xiuniang much.

This time when Li Qingzhi and the others came over, encountering Li Qingzhi, who was “like-minded,” she became happy.

Making pickled mustard green pancakes was quite troublesome, but because she wanted Li Qingzhi to eat something good, this auntie made a lot, also stir-fried some vegetables, and made a tofu soup.

At noon, everyone had a lively meal.

After the meal, Li Qingzhi asked Jin Xiaoshu to find a real estate agent in the prefectural city to rent a house, while he took out a pen and paper and started writing something on the table just after eating.

He had told Jin Xiaoye before coming to the prefectural city that he might stay for a few days… He planned to return tomorrow afternoon.

Tomorrow morning, he would visit Mr. Zhou from the Chongwen Academy.

Bringing preserved meats for Mr. Zhou was obviously inappropriate.

When Li Qingzhi came, he had already prepared some tea leaves. He planned to write two more articles and then go to Mr. Zhou tomorrow for guidance.

After the provincial examination results came out, he had been very busy and hadn’t had the time to settle down and write articles.

This time when he wrote… Li Qingzhi didn’t know if it was because he was in a good mood or for some other reason, but the articles he wrote turned out quite well. Anyway, he felt good about himself.

While Li Qingzhi was writing, the auntie kept watching beside him.

She didn’t disturb him and even made some steamed cakes for Li Qingzhi to eat. When Li Qingzhi stopped writing and ate the steamed cakes, she said, “Li Qingzhi, you write so fast, and your handwriting is so neat!”

Li Qingzhi smiled and immediately reciprocated compliments with the auntie, praising her steamed cakes as particularly delicious.

Fang Xiuniang: “…” She had lived with this auntie for a month and wasn’t this close!

While Li Qingzhi was writing and chatting with the auntie, Jin Xiaoshu went to find a suitable shop, and as for Chang Zhan, he went to Magistrate Zhang’s place.

Before, Magistrate Zhang thought he was going to die, so he wanted the people around him to leave, but the family that had been taking care of him refused to leave.

Now that Magistrate Zhang was fine, they didn’t need to leave.

When Chang Zhan went to Magistrate Zhang’s place, the gatekeeper refused those who came to visit. “Magistrate Zhang is a bit tired and doesn’t want to see anyone.”

“Magistrate Zhang also doesn’t accept gifts.”

“If I let you in, Magistrate Zhang will be angry!”

But upon seeing Chang Zhan, the gatekeeper immediately smiled and beckoned, “Chang Zhan is here, come in quickly.”

He promptly ushered Chang Zhan inside.

The visitors were bewildered: “Why can he go in?”

The gatekeeper asserted confidently, “He’s my nephew!”

Chang Zhan is such a good young man; he wouldn’t stop Chang Zhan from entering.

Chang Zhan quickly found Magistrate Zhang.

Magistrate Zhang had drunk wine yesterday afternoon. After Li Qingzhi pressed on him, he fell asleep, sleeping particularly well, and didn’t wake up until this morning.

After sleeping for so long, he felt a bit sore, but he was in very good spirits!

Originally, he wanted to go to the government office, but there were people blocking his door early in the morning… So he didn’t go and stayed at home to read.

Naturally, he was reading “The Record of Injustice”.

Most of the cases in it were personally handled by Magistrate Zhang, but now, as he read, tears filled his eyes.

He kind of understood why he was okay now.

Any official with a bit of conscience, after reading this book, wouldn’t have the face to speak for the Lou family.

This is the history of the people’s tears and blood!

The book was easy to read, and Magistrate Zhang read quickly. In the morning, he had already read four books and circled quite a few typos.

When Chang Zhan came, Magistrate Zhang was reading the last book.

Seeing Chang Zhan coming, Magistrate Zhang asked, “Was this book printed by your group?”

Chang Zhan didn’t expect Magistrate Zhang to ask this, but he immediately replied, “Yes.”

“In such a short time, how did you manage to print it all? And how did Li Qingzhi finish writing it?” Magistrate Zhang asked.

Chang Zhan’s purpose in coming this time was actually to talk to Magistrate Zhang about Li Qingzhi.

Yesterday, Li Qingzhi mainly chatted with Magistrate Zhang, not saying much, but today was different.

Chang Zhan said, “Mr. Li worked day and night during that period to write the book. After he finished writing, he even helped with the typesetting…”

“The last two books, did he typeset them?” Magistrate Zhang asked.

“How did you know, sir?” Chang Zhan asked.

Magistrate Zhang said, “There are fewer typos in those two books.”

Chang Zhan was stunned for a moment, then saw Magistrate Zhang take out those books to show him.

Taking a look…

Chang Zhan awkwardly discovered that many of the articles he typeset with movable type had typos.

Not only typos… but also one word was even inverted.

Li Qingzhi was different. None of the articles he typeset had any mistakes.

“Mr. Li is really amazing!” Chang Zhan said.

When Chang Zhan first arrived by Magistrate Zhang’s side, he didn’t mention Li Qingzhi’s matter at all. It wasn’t until Magistrate Zhang killed someone in Linhu County, and Li Qingzhi came over, that Magistrate Zhang knew that the person behind it was Li Qingzhi.

… 

And this time, Chang Zhan detailed how he met Li Qingzhi.

He said he fled to Chongcheng County with his niece, without money to afford food, and his niece fell ill.

He said he left his niece at Li Qingzhi’s doorstep late at night.

He said he planned to assassinate Magistrate Yan but was stopped by Li Qingzhi…

Of course, he also mentioned all the things that had happened in the past month. For example, on the day Li Qingzhi came to Linhu County to confess to Magistrate Zhang, Li Qingzhi stayed up all night writing “The Record of Injustice” while Magistrate Zhang was asleep.

Chang Zhan told Magistrate Zhang all this in the hopes that Magistrate Zhang would take Li Qingzhi seriously.

With that said… Li Qingzhi could go even further!

And they could seek revenge on King Jin.

“I owe him this time,” Magistrate Zhang sighed.

Whether it was Chang Zhan or Li Qingzhi, they were both good kids.

While Chang Zhan and Magistrate Zhang were reading, in the capital, Lu Qingxi was also reading “The Record of Injustice”.

But what he was reading now wasn’t the messy and poorly bound book that Li Qingzhi and his group had printed. Instead, it was a very exquisite version of “The Record of Injustice” that he had someone else reprint and bind. The title of the book was even written by the Emperor himself.

Although the Emperor’s eyesight wasn’t very good, his handwriting was still impeccable.

“This is the book I printed. The previous one was printed terribly!” Lu Qingxi said to the people around him.

The previous book was too ugly, it was really embarrassing for him, Lu Qingxi.

Now, this book was very beautiful. It could be sold in the capital’s bookstores and sent to bookstores in other cities.

In addition, the play script for Magistrate Zhang’s furious beheading of Magistrate Yan, he had already been arranged by someone, and it would be performed soon.

Of course, he had a role in it too!

Plays are different from reality, so in the play, Eunuch Lu (Lu Qingxi) saw “The Record of Injustice” and asked Magistrate Zhang to investigate. In the end, Magistrate Zhang discovered that everything was true and furiously beheaded Magistrate Yan!
