Faced with such a nasty threat, Li Ling had no fear at all, looked at Lord Zhang calmly and said slowly: "Although I am the governor of Yangzhou, I have been appointed by the court, and I still have to take care of this unfair matter."

Although Lord Zhang was a little surprised when he heard Li Ling’s self-reporter, he was still aggressive: “Since you are an official of the court, you shouldn’t have done such a detriment to the prestige of the court. How can I let you break through the Luoyang government office?”

"If the people in your government office hadn't done anything wrong, I wouldn't have broken in!" Li Ling said tit-for-tat, "I'll ask you, what crimes do they have committed, why do they have to be punished like this, and want to imprison them?" As he said that, he pointed to the three plaintiffs in front of him with blood-faced faces and in a mess.

This question really made Lord Zhang suffocate, but then he snorted again: "I said, this is the business of my government office. You, an official from another place, don't ask too much..."

"No, this matter is related to the majesty of the court. Since I saw it, I will take care of it." Li Ling said hard, "Not only have been calling for justice, but they have also sounded the drum of justice just now. They must be carrying a major injustice. Do you do this so recklessly, are you worthy of the official uniform and the trust of the court?"

"What do you know? This matter is very important..." Lord Zhang couldn't help but feel a little timid, and he didn't dare to look at Li Ling's eyes, and just hummed, "This is Luoyang, not all cases can be tried at any time."

In return, Li Ling responded disdainfully: "The world's affairs cannot escape the word "reason". If you don't dare, let the dare come. If you officials in Luoyang Palace dare not, then I will come to help you interrogate the case..."

"You... are so nonsense. Who do you think you are, and you dare to interfere with the matter!" Lord Zhang felt that he was going crazy and shouted loudly. He couldn't suppress Li Ling, and knew that his official position was not enough, so he gave his subordinates a wink and signaled him to go inside and ask his boss with higher official positions to deal with Li Ling.

Li Ling naturally saw his expressions and actions, but he had no intention of stopping them. Although he was just a small prefect, he was at least famous in the capital and was not afraid of fighting with him. Moreover, the deadlock in the Ministry of Personnel is really a bit tricky. If he had a fight here, it might be of great help to his report.

Just as the two sides gradually reached a tacit understanding and a commissioner turned around and went to the second hall behind, an official came out first. He did not argue with Li Ling like Lord Zhang, but went forward to salute first, and then said, "Who is this Lord?"

"Li Ling, the governor of Yangzhou, came to Beijing to report his work, which happened."

"It turns out that it is Lord Li, who has long been famous. To be honest, this matter has a great deal. These three people have made trouble in our government office before. Our Huangfutai has advised them not to bother them again when they go back, but they are unwilling to listen to the advice. They come again today and make a big fuss, so we will think of taking them off and closing them for a few days."

"Oh? Then can I ask more, what kind of wrongs do they have to bear?" Li Ling raised his eyebrows, vaguely feeling that things were becoming more and more strange, especially the attitude of the officials who came out this time.

"This... If Lord Li really wants to know, take the person away and ask yourself."

"You are willing to let go?" The strange feeling became deeper.

"Of course, we adults didn't think about making things difficult for them. It was just that things were difficult to handle, so we had to take them down. To be honest, we did this to protect them."

"Protection? How do you say this?"

"Mr. Li, some things in the capital cannot be put on the surface, so please don't make things difficult for me. If you really want to help them, just take the people away. If you don't want to cause trouble, you can also do whatever you want."

This guy was simply giving Li Ling two choices and his attitude was very clear. He really wanted someone and could hand over it, but their Luoyang government office would never involve this matter.

Li Ling's eyes were circling back and forth on several officials and the three pitiful guys on the ground. The strange emotion became even heavier - he seemed to have fallen into a trap, and what was terrible was that he took the initiative to jump into this trap...

But after seeing the three people's panic and sad songs, but without any grievances, another fire began to burn in Li Ling's heart. In the past two or three years, he seemed to have figured it out and really achieved the same as the light, but his heart did not completely fall, and he still yearned for justice.

Now, when such a choice is in front of you, one is when nothing has happened, and the other is to take the initiative to open up a dark curtain, he can clearly hear the true voice in his heart.

After breathing slowly, Li Ling pointed to the three victims: "Leave the person to me..."

"Sure, give the person to Lord Li." The official waved his hand immediately, and his subordinates hurriedly retreated, and then someone from Yangzhou Prefecture stepped forward to help the person up. The three of them were confused at this moment, and they didn't even know how to be wronged or something, but just stared at Li Ling blankly.

The people in Luoyang Mansion over there breathed their own breath, feeling that they relaxed their shoulders, which could be considered as pushing out the hot stuff. But before they could finish their anger, Li Ling said again: "But I have the conditions too..."

“What conditions?”

"You have to give compensation if you hurt someone." Li Ling said, looking at the scars and blood on the faces of the three people.

"Okay, come here, come and get thirty taels of silver, even if my Luoyang Mansion gives them the medicine." This person was really easy to talk to and immediately made a statement. As long as you lead the disaster out, spending some silver is not a big deal.

When the money was sent, Li Ling was not polite and asked someone to take it. Then he turned around and left. The three still a little anxious miser was supported by several followers and followed a little staggeringly and left the government office.

At this time, there were still many people watching in front of the government office. When they saw this, everyone opened their mouths wide and looked completely unbelievable. In their opinion, it was very likely that Li Ling and his party who rushed in to save the people would have to be broken inside, but unexpectedly, the person came out safely and brought the three victims out together. Of course, if they knew that Li Ling had asked Luoyang Mansion for thirty taels of silver for the medicine, they would be even more shocked to his chin.

So when Li Ling led people past them, the people hid in awe, and at the same time they looked at him and guessed his identity. Li Ling disagreed with this and just turned around and ordered: "I won't go to the Ministry of Personnel today. Take them back. I want to ask them what kind of injustice it is..."

It was not until Li Ling and his party entered the inn there that everyone had a lot of discussion, and then they dispersed, telling more people about this strange thing in front of the Luoyang Prefecture today.

Of course, compared to them, some people who paid more attention to Li Ling to pass the matter that Li Ling robbed people in the Luoyang Prefecture yamen and returned to their master's side. By the evening, this matter had been known to many key figures in the court.

...

I arranged accommodation for the three of them in the inn, and asked them to eat something. After a little washing, Li Ling asked about the specific situation of the people in his room.

For some reason, the three of them lost the courage to beat drums and make injustice before. Facing Li Ling's inquiry, they could give some answers after a while.

"Who are your surnames and who are you from?"

"If you want to know the elders, the three younger people have no name, but they are called Chu San, Chu Qi, Chu Shi Er, and they are from Yanshi, the capital..."

"Oh, then what are the injustices you have? You actually went to Luoyang Prefecture to claim the injustice?"

"Little...Little..." The three brothers hesitated and looked at each other for a while before they became more courageous and seriously injured. There was a deep wound on their foreheads. "The youngest uncle was wronged by the government and said that he was going to be beheaded by Qiuhou. The youngest brother was raised by his uncle. He is our father. We cannot watch him be killed by others... So even if we are to be punished together, we can only come to the capital to complain."

Perhaps he was a little timid at the beginning, but as the matter was told, he thought that his uncle who raised his brothers might be killed unjustly, Chu Qi became bolder and his words gradually became coherent: "I would like to ask Master Qingtian to decide for us brothers. Our uncle is innocent, so he has never done anything illegal. He was arrested by the government three months ago and said he was a murderer... When our brothers went to Yanshi County to appeal, they drove us out. Later, they had no choice but to think about coming to the capital.

"I heard that the Luoyang Prefecture Yamen was in charge of the Yanshi Yamen, so we thought we could let the prefect here make the decision for us. But as a result, they drove us out and said that there was no such person as my uncle who was taken away by the government..."

But even so, Li Ling was confused by his confusing words, so he asked while the other party was considerate: "You have said so much, but you haven't mentioned your uncle's name yet. What government office has you taken it away?"

"My uncle is Chu Shiwu. He was arrested by the county government in the morning, and somehow he was taken away by some high-ranking official from the capital..."

"You said he had never harmed anyone, but he was convicted of murder?"

"That's right... it's true that our brothers finally found out in the county government. My uncle just quarreled with people in the city, and then was arrested by the master of the county government. When we learned the news and went there again, they said that my uncle was a murderer and was taken away by the master from the capital."
