Lin Chong, Qin Ming and others led people to patrol the streets separately and shouted: "The county magistrate Li Datian allowed Li Gongbi to molest women and beat and insulted the head of Liangshan County. If you don't do anything for the common people, you can stay at home and don't come out." No matter how busy you are, Liangshan County only wants to argue with the Li family and his son."

Wang Tianba led his people to occupy all the treasury and warehouses, and sent troops to garrison them.

On the second day, in the county government office, Zhao Zhen, under the protection of Lu Fang and others, met the captured Li Datian and his son, and the county prime minister Qian Cheng, the chief Bo Rentinggui, and the clerk Qian Lao.

Shi Qian saw Li Gongbi, who was hiding behind Li Datian and shivering, and sneered: "Yameni, what's going on, but it's cold?"

Li Yanei, who was already frightened, fell to the ground after hearing this.

"Spare your life, spare your life..."

It made all the heroes in the county government laugh.

Li Datian scolded: "Zhixian Zhao, you and I are both imperial officials. Attacking the county seat for such a trivial matter is a rebellion. I want to sue you."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhen sneered and said, "Li Zhixian, you are detaining the head of the county for no reason. This is a meritorious official who travels to Qingzhou to find out the potential of thieves. I think you want to rebel."

Li Datian hurriedly said: "Zhixian Zhao, Zhifu Cheng is a person on the side of Privy Tong, and someone is a person of Grand Master Cai. There is a slight misunderstanding, why is it like this? I would like to apologize and ask Zhixian Zhao to withdraw his troops. How about pretending that today's incident never happened?" "

Zhao Zhen said: "Li Zhixian, I heard from Shi Qiandutou that he also revealed his identity that day. Your yamen did not care about friendship as much as Li Zhixian did."

Li Datian leaned over and gave Li Gongbi a slap in the face, scolding: "Beast, I neglected to discipline you, and that's how you developed your domineering temperament. You still don't apologize to me all the time."

Li Gongbi was stunned. He didn't expect his father to beat him in front of so many people.

Seeing how stupid Li Gongbi was, Li Datian kicked Li Gongbi on the butt.

Only then did Li Gongbi react and quickly apologized.

Wu Yong suddenly said: "Li Zhixian, why do you need to play this cruel trick? When Manager Hua comes, didn't you also send someone to intercept him?"

Seeing that Zhao Zhen was unwilling to be kind, Li Datian immediately changed his expression and said to Zhao Zhen: "Humph, aren't you just relying on being the Chenglong Kuaishou of Cheng Zhifu? I am also an official of the imperial court, you still dare to kill me. At most, I can't do this to this county magistrate. It’s done, just change it.”

Wu Yong said: "Hey, what, Li Zhixian, you colluded with the Qingzhou bandits and killed the imperial officials, and you still want to serve elsewhere? Last night, Zhao Zhixian heard the tip and sent people to Dongping Mansion to deliver the news that you colluded with the Qingzhou bandits. Go up. I think Magistrate Cheng has rushed you five hundred miles to send me to the court."

"Master Cai hates the Qingzhou thieves deeply. Not only will he not protect you, I'm afraid his life will be in danger."

Li Datian's face changed drastically, and he said with force: "The Grand Master is wise, how can you believe one side of the story? They are all slanderous words. You have no evidence. I will go up and defend myself."

Wu Yong smiled coldly, took a brocade box from Shi Qian, opened the box, took out two jade pendants and showed them: "Li Zhixian, are these two jade pendants your favorite things?"

"Yes, this is a birthday gift from my son."

"Look, isn't this evidence? I found this pair of jade pendants in your bookstore yesterday. They must be your favorite things. If you look closely, you can see that these two jade pendants are really great. I am afraid that this pair of jade pendants were stolen by Qingzhou. Is this what I sent you?"

"Nonsense, a small official from Yuncheng is gathering in the mountains and forests now. How can I make friends with these people?"

"You have never made friends with me, where is your noble master?" Wu Yong asked forcefully.

It turned out that since taking Shouzhang County, Wu Yong had the intention of annexing the surrounding counties. After discussing with Zhao Zhen, he secretly took six jade pendants and asked spies to spy around for opportunities.

These two jade pendants were deliberately revealed in front of Li Gongbi by two spies. After Li Gongbi saw them, he took them away by force.

These jade pendants are not only made of good jade material, but also carved by skilled craftsmen. Not only does it have a good meaning, but it also has the word Yuan Chang engraved on it.

This word was discovered by Liu Huiniang. Cheng Wan'er asked several sisters to choose jewelry. Liu Huinian discovered the mystery hidden in it with her own discernment. I told Zhao Zhen that Wu Yong designed it.

After hearing this, Li Gongbi hurriedly said: "Father, I didn't know this was stolen goods. I just saw the jade pendant with the double cranes and the ribbon pattern and the five-lun diagram jade pendant. I thought of giving it as a gift to my father on his birthday, so I bought it."

Looking at Li Gongbi who was lying limply on the ground, Li Datian suddenly said: "This is a frame-up."

Wu Yong said: "Li Zhixian, you also need to know that the contents of this birthday card have been spread all over the world for a long time. These two fine jade pendants, why don't you take a closer look?"

"It must be a thief."

With that said, the county magistrate Qian Cheng, who was standing by, the boss Bo Ren Tinggui, and the clerk Qian Lao shouted: "I'm afraid you are also an accomplice."

After hearing this, the three of them all fell to the ground. Qian Cheng cried out incessantly: "Sir, although we have seen the county magistrate take it with him, we don't know the origin of these two jade pendants. This is a sin of beheading, how dare you obey."

Wu Yong shook the feather fan in his hand and said: "If you are not an accomplice, how can you help Li Yanei search for Shi Dutou, and then lead people to intercept Mr. Hua?"

"Sir, since ancient times, we have always been 'not afraid of officials, only afraid of management.' We work under the county magistrate, so we naturally take care of Li Yanei on weekdays. But I would never dare to collude with Qingzhou thieves." Qian Cheng He replied quickly.

Ren Tinggui and Qian Lao also quickly agreed, fearing that they would be implicated.

Li Datian pointed at the three people and cursed them for being stupid.

Ren Tinggui said: "Ms. sir, you colluded with the Qingzhou thieves, why do you need to implicate us? The yamen usually spends time in the streets causing trouble, committing crimes, and making trouble. We can still cover up for bullying men and women, but colluding with the Qingzhou thieves is not a crime like this." We absolutely don’t dare. If Magistrate Zhao hadn’t discovered this, we would have been implicated today.”

"That's right, we need to report it." Secretary Qian Lao agreed.

Li Datian couldn't help but get angry when he saw the three people saying this. He shouted and scolded: "You are not a good bird. You have done many things to plunder money and harm good people. By forcing many farmers to become thieves, isn't it that you are also secretly helping thieves?"

Qian Cheng said sarcastically: "When it comes to harming the people, we combined can't compare to you and your son."

Qian Lao said: "That is, for anyone who files a lawsuit against the yamen, you have not ordered me to threaten the victim to shut up. For those who are stubborn, you will fabricate accusations and ruin the lives of good people."

"What's worse, he deceived his colleagues. Let's say that Meng Yulou's husband, Ximen Qing, had married Pan and poisoned Wu Dutou's brother. Didn't the husband also accept Ximen Qing's bribe and refused to arrest Ximen? Qing. A hero like Wu Dutou has no choice but to kill two people. How can he be assassinated two thousand miles away?"

Li Datian sarcastically said: "Why, you just confiscated the money?"

Seeing several people biting each other in the hall, Zhao Zhen and others secretly laughed. The first few scribes behind the screen were busy writing.

By the time a few people realized something was wrong, it was too late. Most of the illegal things done to these people were told.

After asking several people to sign and pledge, Zhao Zhen sent them to Dongping Prefecture, Cheng Wanli, along with two jade pendants.

The county officials, sergeants, and those who were implicated were all put in cells.

Zhang Chuang, the commander of the regiment, killed good people and took bribes. After Hua Rong took over the imperial army in the county, he was also sent to a prison cell.

While waiting for the imperial court to issue an order to deal with Li Tianda, the entire Yanggu County fell into Zhao Zhen's hands. These days, Zhao Zhenping was sued and imprisoned, and many of the families who had been tortured filed lawsuits when they saw Li and his son being imprisoned. Zhao Zhen ordered everyone to sort them out one by one and send them to Dongping Mansion.
