Sui and Tang Dynasties: Awakening the Supreme Skills at the Beginning

"Exactly!"

The three Luo brothers were so frightened that they knelt down on the street and kowtowed to Li Zhen repeatedly.

"Boss, we brothers have long since turned over a new leaf. Please spare us, Boss. We brothers will serve you wholeheartedly!"

Li Zhen smiled slightly and quickly reached out to pull the three brothers up.

"Brothers, you have misunderstood. I am reporting to the police not for you, but for the Zhang family. They are trying to harm me, how can I let them get away with it!"

When they heard that they were not arrested, the three brothers stood up awkwardly and stood behind Li Zhen.

Li Zhen walked to the gate of the county government office and was about to go up and talk.

When the man saw that it was Li Zhen, he naturally did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Li Zhen.

"Mr. Li, you are here. Please wait here for a moment. I will report to the county magistrate immediately."

"Thank you!"

Li Zhen bowed slightly.

Less than half a cup of tea later, the doorman came trotting back.

Before he even got to Li Zhen, the doorman called out, "Mr. Li, the county magistrate wants to see you!"

"Thank you!"

Li Zhen bowed slightly and walked towards the flower hall with the three brothers of the Luo family.

When they arrived at the flower hall, the three Luo brothers stood at the door and Li Zhen went in.

Li Shutong had been waiting there for a long time.

The two of them sat down as host and guest and exchanged greetings.

"Junior brother, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Li Zhen stepped forward and bowed to Li Shuyi, "I have a little matter to ask, so I came here to trouble you."

"What's the matter?"

Li Shutong stared at Li Zhen and said.

Li Zhen placed the jar of wine on the table and bowed to Li Shuyi.

"Junior brother has opened a wine shop in the city, and I would like to ask you to write a couple of calligraphy for me. I think you are a new talent in the literary world, and you should like to drink. I should have brought my own wine, but time is tight, and it will take some time for my wine to be available. Although this Sanlejiang is not as good as the wine I brew, it is better than nothing, and it is acceptable."

Hearing Li Zhen's words, Li Shutong was slightly surprised.

What surprised him was not that he was asked to present a plaque to Li Zhen, but the last sentence. Sanlejiang was already considered a top-grade wine, but this junior brother actually said that it was not as good as the wine he brewed. Then how amazing would his wine be after it was brewed?

Of course he didn't believe this.

However, Li Shutong did not say anything, but waved his hand.

"Someone, bring some pen and ink!"

A servant had already come forward, went to the study to get writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone, and smeared ink on the inkstone.

"Write what?"

"First, let's have a plaque...let's say Li's Winery!"

Li Shutong picked up his pen and Li's Winery came to life on the paper.

"My name is here, Senior Brother."

"..."

The three words "Li Shutong" were written in a flamboyant style at the lower right of the ten words.

"Where's the seal? It should be stamped."

"You kid."

Li Shutong took out a seal from his bosom and stamped it on the lower right corner.

Li Zhen picked up the banner with a smile and took a look at it. "Well, it's not bad."

"Brother, please give me another poem!"

"You tell me, I write!"

"……it is good!"

Li Zhen did not refuse. It was obvious that this was another test from Li Shutong.

He believed that if he could show off his skills in front of Li Shutong again, this senior brother would probably regard him as his confidant.

"Brother, get ready to write!"

So fast?

"This poem is called Jiangchengzi."

Li Zhen stood up, lifted his sleeves, and recited, his face full of high spirits.

"I am an old man, but I am still as wild as a young man. I hold Huang on my left and Cang on my right. I wear a brocade hat and a sable coat, and ride a thousand horses on the plain."

"To repay the governor for his kindness, I followed him to the city, shot the tiger myself, and watched Sun Lang."

"When I'm drunk, my heart is still full of energy, and my temples are slightly frosted, so what's the problem?"

"Holding the imperial seal in Yunzhong, when will Feng Tang be sent?"

"I can draw a bow like a full moon, look northwest, and shoot the wolf in the sky."

"Thousands of riders hunt and drink to their heart's content."

Li Shutong was shocked.

He was immediately shocked by the heroic and bold poetry.

"Good words! What you drink is your spirit and your arrogance. That's what a real man should be like!"

After reciting "Jiang Cheng Zi", the hall fell silent.

At that moment, a poem that shocked the entire Tang Dynasty was born.

Li Shutong pondered for a long time, and suddenly slapped Li Zhen hard with his palm.

"Junior brother, you are so talented in poetry, it would be a pity if you don't become an official. Junior brother, are you interested in getting involved in the officialdom? Senior brother will certainly not hesitate to recommend you."

"Junior brother, thank you for your kindness!"

Li Zhen stood up and bowed to Li Shutong.

In this Tang Dynasty world, if you could become an official directly without taking the imperial examination, that would of course be great!

Li Shutong stood up and bowed to Li Zhen, "Junior brother, I have encountered a difficult problem. Do you have any way to solve it?"

Li Zhen's heart moved. He still had something to ask of Li Shutong, so naturally he hoped to help Li Shutong solve his worries.

"Please tell me, Senior Brother, but I cannot guarantee whether the answer is what you want."

Li Zhen bowed and responded calmly.

Li Shutong raised his eyebrows slightly. The behavior and speech of this junior fellow apprentice were really not like that of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old. Instead, it gave him a feeling of maturity and steadiness.

"Listen!"

"There is a Taoist temple on Xingkong Mountain in the south of this county. In this temple, there is a large bronze bell. For some unknown reason, it suddenly started to ring at night half a month ago. It is really puzzling. Some people even involve wronged souls and ghosts."

"Besides, the Taoist temple is quite famous in the local area. In addition, the rumors about wronged souls and resentful ghosts are really bad for me as a county magistrate. Therefore, I have been unable to eat or sleep these days. It really worries me!"

"I wonder if Junior Brother has a solution to this problem?"

"This……"

Li Zhen was startled. The bronze bell rang by itself. Could it be...

He suddenly remembered what the teacher had talked about frequency in the physics class last time.

Li Zhen stood up, paced a few steps with his hands behind his back, and suddenly asked.

"Brother, is there any major construction going on near Xingkong Mountain?"

"what?"

Li Shutong didn't hold out much hope in the first place. He didn't think Li Zhen could solve the problem. After all, he had asked many people, even several powerful classmates, but still got no answer.

Li Zhen asked at this moment, could it be that he thought of something?

"That's right! To the south of Xingkong Mountain, there is an official road that passes through the mountain. Half a month ago, a hillside suddenly collapsed. I am asking the people to repair the road..."

"what?"

At this point, Li Shutong exclaimed, the time of road construction matched the time of the clock ringing, could it be that the two were related?

He was immediately surprised and asked, "Could it be that the ringing of the bell is related to the road construction?"

Li Zhen did not explain, but bowed and smiled, "Brother, have someone grind a few notches on the edge of the bell, and the chimes will disappear."

"Really?" Li Shutong asked in surprise.

"Of course!"

Li Zhen bowed, stood up, and looked very confident.

"Okay, I will send someone over right away. If the problem is solved, Senior Brother will definitely treat you to a drink."

"No need to drink. I have something else to do now. Please take care of it, Senior Brother."

"What's the matter?"

Li Shutong raised his eyebrows slightly.

Li Zhen told Li Shutong what happened last night.

"How can this be possible? The Zhang family is so lawless. Do they really think that no one can control them? Junior brother, how do you want to deal with them?"

Li Zhen stepped forward and whispered something to Li Shutong.

Li Shutong raised his eyebrows and said, "As you wish, Junior Brother. Come here!"

Li Shutong shouted softly.

"grown ups?"

A bailiff had already stepped forward and bowed to Li Shutong.

"Quickly recruit Kuai Lufeng to come here!"

"promise!"

The Yamen retired.

After a while, Constable Lu Feng entered the flower hall and bowed respectfully to Li Shutong, "Sir!"

"Take your men and head to Zhangjiazhuang to capture the thieves immediately. Follow Master Li Zhen's orders!"

Li Shutong frowned and shouted at Lu Feng.

"promise!"

Li Zhen and others bid farewell to Li Shutong and went to Zhangjiazhuang.

Lu Feng had four archers and eight able-bodied men under his command.

Li Zhen told Lu Feng that he was going to Zhangjiazhuang to arrest everyone in the Zhang family.

Lu Feng didn't feel any pressure after hearing this.

Once outside Chang'an City, the constables are government servants, so it's easy to catch a few thieves!

Lu Feng bowed to Li Zhen and said, "Brother Li, just leave these thieves to me, please!"

When the group arrived at Zhangjiazhuang, it was just noon.

When someone entered the village, the villagers immediately surrounded him.

When they got closer and saw that they were police officers investigating a case, the villagers immediately ran away in fear and watched from a distance.

In the countryside, officials represent the imperial court and are as powerful as the sky. Common people naturally try to stay as far away from them as possible.

When everyone arrived at the gate of Zhang's compound, Lu Feng drew out his long sword and swung it.

Two strong men picked up wooden sticks and kicked the door open.

Four strong men were in the front, and four archers drew their bows and arrows, and rushed in together.

A servant ran out from the gatehouse, "Sir, what's the matter?"

"Zhang Guangji, you've committed a crime, come out here and surrender!"

Lu Feng kicked the servant to the ground, swung his long sword, and the nine of them rushed straight into the main hall.

In the main hall, the Zhang family was having dinner when they suddenly heard the police arriving and were shocked.

At this time, someone outside ran in.

"Master, there are officials outside looking for you!"

"Huh? Who is it?"

Zhang Guangji stood up, waved his hand, and dismissed the maid beside him.

At this time, Lu Feng had already rushed in with his men.

Each of these people was holding a knife or an arrow, and their faces were grim.

Zhang Guangji saw that the man looked unfamiliar, so he could not help but bow and asked quickly, "My lords, I am sorry for not welcoming you..."

Before he could finish his words, the leader Lu Feng shouted in a deep voice: "Are you Zhang Guangji?"

"It's down!"

Lu Feng took out a badge and flashed it in front of Zhang Guangji's eyes. "I am Constable Lu Feng, and I am under the order of the county magistrate to arrest your entire family for questioning."

Zhang Guangji was confused. What was going on?

Lu Feng waved his hand and shouted: "Come here, seal this place and take everyone away!"

"promise!"

At three quarters after noon, all the members of the Zhang family were tied up together by their wrists with ropes by Lu Feng. All their assets were confiscated, and the gold, silver and valuables filled three large carts.

"The carts are in front, the people are behind, let's go!" Lu Feng shouted loudly, and the convoy was about to drive out of the gate of Zhang's house.

Suddenly, a loud shout was heard. Everyone was stunned and looked at each other. What was going on?

"Don't let them go, okay? The Zhang family is our bread and butter!"
