When Luo Lingwei heard that Zhao Wei and the rest had been taken away by the yamen, she was very surprised. She quickly had the shopkeeper take her to the yamen to find the local magistrate and release her.

As for the bailiff, he escorted the few of them to the prefectural yamen's office, where he stood with arms crossed, looking overweeningly arrogant. Zhao Wei looked around and saw the middle-aged man who was beaten up before sitting behind a public trial. After a short while, a group of yamen runners shouted loudly and the new Prefect of Ming Lin Prefecture ascended to his seat.

Zhao Wei looked up and saw that he knew this Prefect. His name was Lu Pingliang, and this Prefect had been secretly giving gifts to Ye Qing when he was still a judge, wanting him to say a few words in front of Ye Lianhe. Coincidentally, after the ”Yuan Lin Party case”, Ye Lianhe had easily promoted him to take Hou Qing's place. However, Zhao Wei had only observed him from the shadows. The two of them had never met, so that person did not know Zhao Wei.

”Why don't you kneel?” Lu Pingliang pointed at Zhao Wei and shouted angrily as he saw that Zhao Wei was standing with his hands behind his back, looking around and not putting him in his eyes at all.

When Zhao Wei saw the commoners who had gathered outside the court to watch the commotion, he felt it was troublesome. This time, he was disguised to avoid being hunted by Lu Pingliang. If his identity was exposed because of Lu Pingliang, it wouldn't be worth it.

”Lord Lu, I have something I need to say with you in front of the Ascension Hall. I would like to ask you to do me a favor.” Zhao Wei deliberately emphasized the words ”Lord Lu” to indicate to Lu Pingliang that he was no ordinary citizen. However, Lu Pingliang was infuriated by Zhao Wei's neither humble nor arrogant attitude. He didn't care what Zhao Wei's words meant, he pointed at Zhao Wei and said, ”You troublesome citizen, how dare you look down on this official! Someone, beat the crap out of the old master! ”

Zhao Weixin said it was over, so this guy was just a fool. It seemed that he couldn't let this matter rest. Zhao Wei was still wounded, and Little Qing and Little White, who were at the side, knew that Zhao Wei was trying to hide his identity, so they had no choice but to keep quiet.

On the side, old man Wang and the others were all honest and honest residents of the city. They immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy.

”Master, it was that servant who took liberties with this commoner's niece, this commoner fought with him, and this commoner came forward to help when he saw this commoner being bullied and looked down upon! I hope that you can investigate! ” Old man Wang kowtowed while begging for mercy.

However, Lu Pingliang didn't want to talk to him. He just glanced at him and said coldly, ”Did I let you speak? ”Men, drag this disrespectful old man to the side and slap his face. Then, send a few more people here to torture this unruly man who defies the law!”

”I want to see who dares!” Suddenly, a shout was heard from outside the crowd.
