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

Li Zhen said bluntly.

"what's up?"

Li Shutong asked, looking puzzled.

Li Zhen then told him the details of Li Zhiyong's story.

"How can this be possible? This Cui family is too lawless. Someone come!"

Li Shutong shouted coldly.

County government prison.

At this moment, Liu Jianyuan, the chief lawyer of the criminal department, who was sitting in front of the desk in the criminal department, was listening to the report of the squad leader Zhuang Zhiqi.

"You said the murderer outside was Li Zhen?"

"Yes," Zhuang Zhiqi bowed to Li Jianyuan, "It was Li Zhen who turned Zuixianju upside down at noon. I heard that he and County Magistrate Li are close friends!"

Liu Jianyuan took a deep breath and rubbed his hands together, "What is his relationship with Lord Li?"

"I don't know. How about I ask Lu Feng to come over? He often comes into contact with Li Zhen."

"Then go quickly!" Liu Jianyuan waved his hand.

"Yes." Zhuang Zhiqi stepped back.

After a while, Zhuang Zhiqi led Lu Feng to Liu Jianyuan.

"grown ups."

Lu Feng bowed to Liu Jianyuan and stood aside with his hands hanging down.

"Who is this Li Zhen, and what is his relationship with County Magistrate Li?"

Liu Jianyuan narrowed his eyes, stared at Lu Feng and asked.

"Your Excellency, I am not clear about the relationship between Master Li Zhen and County Magistrate Master Li, but Master Li has great magical powers and divine means, and we must not offend him!"

Lu Feng had also heard about Li Zhen's deeds in front of the yamen. Now that his superior asked about it, he naturally had to cover for Li Zhen.

"A magical trick? Lu Feng, tell me quickly, what is it?"

Lu Feng then recounted in detail what had happened in Zhangjiazhuang that day, adding some exaggeration.

"Ah, in that case, we must not offend Li Zhen!"

Liu Jianyuan and Zhuang Zhiqi looked at each other and spoke in unison.

"Yes," Lu Feng answered affirmatively.

"Then why did Li Zhen come to the county government?"

Liu Jianyuan looked at Zhuang Zhiqi.

"I heard that he wanted to rescue someone."

"Who to fish for?"

"That's Li Zhiyong, the one I brought back just now."

Liu Jianyuan frowned.

This was originally a very simple matter, but now it has caused Liu Jianyuan trouble.

After Li Zhiyong was brought back to the county government office, before he could even stand trial, he was taken away by the warden of the prison, Wang Zhaolin, with the documents of the chief clerk Fan Zhiyu.

This was originally a very small case, but the chief clerk Fan Zhiyu personally intervened in it. It was obvious that Li Zhiyong had offended someone, and someone had made advance warnings.

Originally, this case was not worthy of his attention. Li Zhiyong was just a small grain merchant. As long as no one was killed in the prison, it would not be a big deal. But no one expected that this mysterious Li Zhen was coming for Li Zhiyong, which made people feel embarrassed.

Of course he would not take Li Zhen seriously just because of his mysteriousness. However, Li Zhen was also a close friend of the county magistrate, Lord Li. If he did not handle the matter well and Lord Li blamed him, the consequences for him would probably not be so good.

Thinking of this, he pursed his lips and said to Zhuang Zhiqi.

"Go to the prison and ask them not to torture Li Zhiyong. I will go and see Chief Secretary Fan."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Zhuang Zhiqi turned and left, and Liu Jianyuan turned and was about to go out, but unexpectedly a waiter walked in.

"Master Liu, the county magistrate, Master Li, wants you to come over!"

The waiter bowed to Liu Jianyuan and spoke politely.

Things are getting more and more serious?

Liu Jianyuan was stunned. He didn't expect that this matter would alarm the county magistrate, Lord Li.

He quickly got up and followed the waiter to Li Shutong's room.

"Sir Li, I wonder why you are looking for me?"

Liu Jianyuan bowed to Li Shutong and asked in fear and trepidation.

"Among the people you arrested today, is there a person called Li Zhiyong? What crime did he commit?"

Liu Jianyuan quickly bowed to Li Shutong and explained the whole story in detail.

Li Shutong also frowned when he heard this. Why would the chief clerk Fan Zhiyu interfere in such a small case? Could he be a member of the Cui family?

Li Shutong hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Release Li Zhiyong."

Liu Jianyuan was startled, and then he heard Li Shutong say righteously: "The government is the parents of the people, and it is about fairness and justice! It is not the running dogs of the aristocratic families."

"The story behind this incident is very simple. Li Zhiyong was operating a legitimate business, but he was bullied just because of normal transactions. Shouldn't he fight back?"

"Besides, if he fights back, he is also protecting his own legal property, so he should be protected by the government."

"According to Tang Dynasty law, he is innocent. Why is he being unreasonably detained?"

"Master Liu, as the head of the criminal department, you should act according to the criminal law and handle cases in a fair and just manner. Only in this way can we avoid wrongful convictions and win the support of the public!"

"The capital is the focus of the censors' supervision. Don't let a small matter attract criticism. If the censors hear about it, you will no longer be able to continue your job as a minor official in the criminal department!"

Liu Jianyuan was sweating profusely after hearing this. He quickly bowed and said, "Your Excellency is right. I admit my mistake!"

"Well, go ahead, and send another constable to arrest those ruffians who are doing evil and interrogate them. As government officials, we cannot let any bad guy go."

"Yes."

Liu Jianyuan bowed his head and left.

The crowd outside the county government office had not yet dispersed. They wanted to see if Li Zhen could rescue the small grain merchant who sold him grain.

Originally, according to the normal procedure, if he wanted to go to the county government to rescue someone, he should have written a lawsuit to prove that the grain merchant was not guilty, but he chose to beat up the person who provoked him in front of the county government, and he did it in front of the county government in full view of everyone.

Then he would definitely not have a good ending. Being dragged into the county government office by several constables and beaten with dozens of boards would be the lightest punishment.

It seems that the name of the fool is not in vain, this person is indeed a fool.

But after the constable came out, he pretended not to see him and went back. It was obvious that these constables knew him or his background and did not want to provoke him!

This is strange!

He may not be stupid, but he is fearless!

So what is his basis?

Just as people were speculating wildly, someone with sharp eyes saw the big guy and Li Zhen walking out of the yamen under the leadership of the constable.

"Brother Lu, thank you for your help. I will definitely drink and chat with you someday."

Li Zhen held Lu Feng's arm and spoke enthusiastically.

"Mr. Li, you are too polite. It's just a small matter, nothing to worry about!"

Lu Feng waved his hand and said disapprovingly.

"In that case, I will not bother you any more, Brother Lu. Goodbye!"

Li Zhen bowed to Lu Feng and left the county government office with Li Zhiyong.

"Walk slowly!"

Lu Feng bowed to Li Zhen's departing figure.

How is this going?

The onlookers were stunned!
