When Li Zhen and his brother returned home, they closed the door and began to complain to Li Zhen, "Just give them the quota, why do you have to fight? Although they are happy after the fight, they want to expel you from the family. What should you do?"

Li Zhencai didn't care about family affairs, he was more concerned about whether the eldest sister was injured. At the beginning, the eldest sister seemed to have been beaten.

"Sister, how are you? I have medicine here."

"I'm fine, don't interrupt, I'm talking about you!"

Li Quan was really anxious. What should I do about this? Li Zhen smiled and comforted his eldest sister, "They did not get the contract and would not expel me from the family for the time being. Moreover, the head of the family seems to be away today. I guess the head of the family doesn't know about this at all. They did it without authorization. Let's talk about it when the head of the family comes back!"

"Can you still expect the head of your family to protect you?"

As he was talking, there was a heavy knock on the door outside the courtyard gate. Li Zhen was stunned. He found a red light on the courtyard wall. He hurriedly grabbed Li Quan, "Sister, I'll go open the door!"

He quickly walked to the door and opened the yard gate. He saw several yamen runners standing outside, with more than a dozen people following behind, holding torches and knives at his waist.

"What's wrong with you?"

"You are Mr. Li! The Li family sued you for breaking into a ancestral temple and hurting the servants. The complaint has been handed over to the county government. Please come with us!"

The two yamen runners were quite polite. They both knew Li Zhen and saw him riding and shooting with their own eyes. They didn't dare to speak ill of him, so they locked him and left.

Li Zhen shook his head. He was already sure that the head of the family Li Jin was definitely not there. He actually used the government for a stone wall, and there was no room for recovery. How unwise it was.

At this time, Li Quan's face changed color and stepped forward and begged: "Two brothers, my husband is also working in the county government. Can you give up your hands? Let me let my brother go!"

Li Quan's husband Cao Wen worked as a civil servant in the county yard. Although Cao Wen was incompetent, Li Quan's reputation was beyond his power, and both yamen runners knew her.

A yamen runner looked back in embarrassment. At this time, a person came from outside the alley. It was county magistrate Yang Yun.

There was still someone following him, and he couldn't see clearly in the night, but Li Zhen had such a good eye, and he recognized this person at a glance as the elder of the family who attacked them tonight.

The person behind the county magistrate was indeed Li Ze. He was unable to threaten Li Zhen in the family temple, so he immediately ran to the county government to report the case, putting pressure on the county magistrate Yang Yun, asking him to arrest Li Zhen and bring him to justice.

Although Li Zhen was also sitting in the stands during the riding and shooting performance, the county magistrate Yang Yun also knew that Wang Xiaojie valued this young man very much, but now Wang Xiaojie has left. With the Li family's status in Shazhou, Yang Yun had to give this face. In desperation, he had to lead the yamen runners to arrest Li Zhen himself.

Yang Yun coughed and said lightly: "I don't know what happened in your family, but I have sent someone to test the injury. Four people were broken by their arms and two of them were broken by their legs. No matter what, they were your actions. I want to take you back first, and I will be fair in my trial and will never be wronged. I hope you can cooperate with my official handling the case."

Li Zhen pointed at Li Ze, "Is he also cooperating with the county lord to handle the case?"

Yang Yun looked back at Li Ze and said without saying a word: "He is the plaintiff and needs him to prove it to avoid arresting the wrong person. This is normal. You don't have to think too much."

Li Quan was even more panicked when he heard the word "catch" and hurriedly said, "Yangxianjun, my brother was wronged. It was their Li family who deceived us and wanted to rob property. They took action first. My brother was forced to resist in order to protect me. The civilian girl was beaten by the Li family. The civilian girl was willing to testify."

"I just said that I will not wrong anyone. Please rest assured that I still have this reputation."

At this moment, a sarcastic voice came from behind, "Why didn't County Magistrate Yang report the criminal again tomorrow? Do you have to arrest people overnight? Are you planning to do something tonight?"

Everyone turned around and saw Suo Mao walking around surrounded by more than a dozen servants. Suo Mao had just received the news, and he knew that the Li family had also started to take action.

Suo Mao was very worried that Li Zhen would be forcibly banned after being arrested in the county government. Then the government changed the contract and filed the contract overnight. The stone wall became the property of the Li family, and the Suo family had no hope. He rushed to interfere in the matter.

Yang Yun was stunned. Why did Suo Mao come? He hurriedly said, "I am afraid that the criminal will escape overnight, so I come to detain him first, and there is no other intention."

Suo Mao smiled, "If you are worried about this, the Suo family is willing to protect it and guarantee that he will not escape."

Li Ze didn't expect Suo Mao to come too. He couldn't get the Shibi Deed today, and there might be something going on tomorrow. He was very anxious, "Mr. Yang County, the Li family has been beaten and injured many times, and maybe even a murder case will occur. He must be detained tonight."

Yang Yun didn't know what happened, but because of Li Ze's face, he arrested Li Zhen overnight, but he never expected that the Suo family would interfere.

He suddenly realized that the matter was not simple, and it was very likely that the battle between the Suo and Li families would involve him. If he acted rashly, he might eventually involve him.

This matter must be cleared before making a decision. Moreover, the head of the Li family did not come, so Li Ze's weight was still a little lighter.

Thinking of this, he ignored Li Ze and nodded and said, "Well, since the Suo family is willing to be the guarantor, I will slow down a little."

He said to Li Zhen again: "Tomorrow dawn, you come to the county government to surrender! I will try this case tomorrow!"

After saying that, he ordered several yamen runners to stand guard at Li Zhen's house, and then he turned around and left. Li Ze felt extremely hatred, but he had no choice but to say to Suo Mao, I will sell it to the Suo family if I take it back.

First, the Suo family would never believe him, second, the Suo family was even more afraid that he would speak loudly, so it would be better to get it from Li Zhen.

So Li Ze just moved his lips but couldn't say anything. He had to stomp his feet hard and turn around and leave.

Suo Mao looked at Li Zhen deeply and said, "Think about it carefully! The Suo family may be able to help you again."

He turned around and left with his servants. Li Quan closed the door, and his legs became weak. After all, she was an ordinary woman, and she was at a loss when faced with such a lawsuit.

Li Zhen didn't say much from beginning to end. He had seen through the interests in the fog. Seeing that the eldest sister was worried, Li Zhen smiled and comforted her, "Sister, don't worry, I know what to do tomorrow!"

...........

Shazhou is just a small prefecture, with two counties under the jurisdiction of Dunhuang and Shouchang. Among them, Dunhuang is the main county, which concentrates 70% of Shazhou's population, and the county government is located in the middle of the county town.

Early in the morning, Li Zhen and Li Quan came to the county yard accompanied by several yamen runners. From beginning to end, Li Quan's husband Cao Wen did not appear. Yesterday, his wife and his mother quarreled, so he hid in a temple outside the city to copy scriptures, but he has not returned yet.

"Mr. Li came to the hall, and his family could watch and not enter the hall!"

At this time, Li Zhen took out a note and handed it to his elder sister, whispered to her a few words, Li Quan nodded and left quickly.

Li Zhen was led into the lobby by the yamen runners, and the Suo family was used as a security guard. The yamen runners were more polite to him and did not put shackles or shackles on him, so he asked him to wait aside.

This was Li Zhen's first time to come to the county government office. He had seen the real county government office in Neixiang County in his previous life and found that the county government office had basically not changed for thousands of years.

However, there were no chairs in the middle of the Tang Dynasty. The county magistrate was on the high steps, with a shorter table, and a bed was placed behind it.

A black plaque with gold edges hung above the table, with four large white characters "Observe the brush" on it, and the brushwork is quite vigorous.

There were more than a dozen horse signs on both sides, with quietness, avoidance, etc. Next to the horse signs were eighteen yamen runners in soap clothes, holding big red and black sticks in their hands. They were tall and ferocious, and looked murderous.

In fact, most of the time, the county magistrate does not come to examine the case, but the county magistrate will take care of the situation every day, so there is no time to examine those trivial neighborhood disputes. Only some major cases are tried by the county magistrate.

Today's case is when the Li family sued Li Zhen, a member of the clan, who occupied Li's property, forced his way into the family temple, and injured his servants, but there was only one appeal, asking Li Zhen to return the family property.

The head of the Li family told Li Ze that it was Li Ze. He stood in the left corner, staring at the other party with cold eyes. Today he was going to use his trump card, and Li Zhen would definitely lose. Although Li Zhen was very skilled in martial arts, no matter how powerful he had martial arts in the face of official power, it would be useless.

Li Zhen had no expression on his face, as if he had not seen Li Ze on the opposite side. At this time, a civil servant walked out of the side door, "The county lord arrived!"

Eighteen yamen runners shouted: "Go to the hall--"

With the long drag, the county magistrate Yang Yun walked out quickly. He wore a gauze hat, a green seventh-rank official robe, black leather boots, and a leather belt on his waist. His face was very solemn.

Last night, Yang Yun had learned the details of the case. The key was the stone wall. The Li family believed that the stone wall belonged to the family's shared property, but the rights and deeds were in the hands of Li Zhen.

This was originally an internal matter between families, and few people would solve it outside the family, but the Li family had no choice but to report to the official.

Moreover, the Suo family intervened in this matter, which made Yang Yun feel overwhelmed and he couldn't solve it. Fortunately, the county magistrate suggested that he could delay the case as much as possible, so that the Suo family and the Li family would reach a private compromise, and the matter would be easier.

Yang Yun deeply agreed. Li Ze wanted money and the Suo family wanted to repair stone statues. In fact, it was not unsolvable. He could bring Li Ze and Suo Mao into a compromise and the case was settled.

As for Li Zhen’s interests, Yang Yun really didn’t think much about it, so it really doesn’t matter.

Yang Yun sat down in front of the table, and the yamen runners shouted again: "Wei-Wu-"

"Bang!" Yang Yun slapped the agglomeration and shouted: "Take the plaintiff, the defendant will come to court!"

Last night, Li Ze changed the complaint overnight. Since Li Zhen could not be arrested for the crime of hurting the servants, there was no need to worry about the trouble of the family temple. He changed the focus to asking for the stone wall.

He and Li Zhen walked out from the waiting for trial at the same time. At this time, dozens of idle people who were listening came from outside, and Suo Mao also appeared. He personally found the county magistrate last night and asked him to contribute some effort to the case.

He was not too worried. He understood the rules of the officialdom and believed that the county magistrate had greeted Yang Yun. He stood aside with a smile, waiting for the trial today to be left unresolved.

Li Ze and Li Zhen bowed together, "See the county lord!"

Yang Yun nodded and said to Li Zhen: "The Li family has withdrawn the lawsuit against you for disturbing the family temple. Today I will not pursue this matter. I hope you will not be so impulsive in the future, and you will not hurt others randomly. Did you hear that?"

"Students understand!"

"Okay!" Yang Yun took Li Ze's complaint, opened it and frowned slightly. Li Ze's complaint was written differently from yesterday.

Yesterday, it was said that there were rules in the clan that unused property that had been over ten years would be taken back by the family, but today the complaint was gone, and it became that Li Zhen was not a member of the Li clan of Dunhuang and could not accept the property of Li.
