Luo Lingwei glanced at the Prefecture Overseer and said lightly: ”You can suspend your duty for now. Once this case is investigated, I'll deal with you.”

When the Prefecture Overseer heard this, his heart was slightly at ease. He knew that since Luo Lingwei was able to say such words, she did not intend to put him to death. He immediately kowtowed to show his gratitude. Luo Lingwei ignored him and brought Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, and the others to Peng County.

Since Luo Lingwei didn't want to waste time, she rented a few carriages and took everyone with her. In the afternoon, they arrived at Peng County. It was late and the gates of Pengxian County were closed. Zhang Long carried his iron token and went to call the night soldiers to open the gate. After a while, the city gates opened and everyone entered the city. Luo Lingwei brought the people from Chang Clan Village to the County Magistrate's Hall once again. At this moment, they coincidentally bumped into the few officials who had been beaten up by Zhao Hu during the day. When those people saw this group of people, they were stunned for a moment before returning to the yamen. It seemed that they had gone back to report.

Luo Lingwei did not care about this. She walked straight to the door of the yamen, picked up the drumstick, and fiercely knocked it a few times. She felt that she did not have enough strength, but at this time, no one from the yamen came out. As a result, Luo Lingwei gave the drumstick to Zhao Hu, who stepped forward with two deafening ”dong dong dong” sounds. However, when he hit the drum for the third time, a large hole appeared in the drum.

Zhao Hu embarrassedly turned his head to look at Luo Lingwei. At this moment, the constables of Class 3, Class 6, ran out with their weapons in their hands and surrounded the crowd. The local magistrate still hadn't shown his face, and the person commanding this group of yamen runners was the magistrate.

”Lock them up!” At the order of the Grand Master, the bailiffs rushed forward to fight with the crowd. As for Zhang Long, he rushed to the Grand Master's side and grabbed his throat.

”If you dare to act rashly, I'll break his throat!” Zhang Long shouted.

At the same time, Zhao Hu flashed his black iron token and shouted at the crowd, ”Imperial Emissary Esteemed wangfei Guanling is here! You all dare to be rash! ”

Everyone saw the token in Zhao Hu's hand and felt their hearts skip a beat. They immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Luo Lingwei.

”There's no need to talk any further. I'll go and call the county over.” Luo Lingwei did not want to chat with these people, so she directly walked to the top of the court and sat on the judge's case.

Not long after, Zhixian arrived in front of the hall in a flurry of official attire. He didn't care about his dignity as he dropped to the ground and kowtowed.

”This official greets esteemed wangfei! Esteemed wangfei, a thousand years old!”

”Get up. The Japanese palace is here to conduct a trial today. Transfer all the files related to the Changyu case over. I want to take a look.” Luo Lingwei said.

Zhi Prefecture's heart skipped a beat, but it was not easy to evade. He immediately sent someone to get it. Not long later, the file was brought over. Other than the corpse, there was only Chang Yu's confession. However, there was only a bloody handprint on the map that didn't have the Immortality Jade on it.

When Luo Lingwei saw this confession, she angrily slapped it onto the table. She pointed at the county magistrate and said: ”You thief, you really have a big guts!”

Upon hearing Luo Lingwei's words, that Zhixian trembled in fear, but didn't dare to say a single word.

”Come, explain to me where the bloody handprint on the confession came from!” As she spoke, Luo Lingwei crumpled the confession and threw it at Zhi Xia's face.
