Chapter 415: Seeing the Officer

In the face of Mrs. Zhao's insistence, Li Zhang couldn't bear to refuse her again in the end, not to mention that as a mother, Mrs. Zhao did have the right to know the true situation of her son, so in the end, Li Zhang could only sigh, and then introduced what happened to Zhao Anren and the current situation.

Mrs. Zhao was able to stay calm at first, but when she heard that Zhao Anren was taken away and sent to the Liao Palace as a eunuch, the whole body was also shocked, and then a pair of old hands covered her face, and tears flowed silently from the gaps between her fingers.

Looking at Mrs. Zhao's painful appearance, Li Zhang could only sigh, in fact, Zhao Anren is not only a eunuch who can't get married and have children, but he is now stronger than most normal people, and he is also Xiao Yunjin's henchman, when Yelu Longxu dies and Xiao Yunjin seizes power, Zhao Anren may become the hottest eunuch in Liao.

finally waited for Mrs. Zhao to calm down again, Li Zhang then went on to explain Zhao Anren's current situation in detail, and specially praised Zhao Anren for having the Great Song Dynasty in his heart, not only helping himself, but even wanting to escape back to the Great Song Dynasty before, but unfortunately he failed, it can be said that Zhao Anren's performance is much stronger than most of the Han officials in the Liao court.

"Although An Ren is disabled, he has not forgotten what I taught him back then, which makes the old body quite pleased!" Old Lady Zhao wiped her tears and said at this time, but when she said this, she suddenly looked at Li Zhang again and asked, "Little Brother Li, you can see An Ren in the Liao Imperial Palace, you must not be an ordinary person, right?" ”

"I am actually an envoy sent to Liao by our Great Song Dynasty, thanks to the cooperation of Brother An Ren, I have completed the task assigned by the imperial court." Li Zhang did not hide his identity at this time, and said with a smile at the moment.

This old lady Zhao was not too surprised, she had guessed that Li Zhang's identity was not ordinary, and I am afraid that only the envoy could go to Liao, of course, she also knew that Li Zhang was appointed as an envoy at such a young age, I am afraid that there is also a deep background behind it, but Li Zhang did not introduce it, and she did not ask again.

Just when Li Zhang and Mrs. Zhao were talking in the room, they suddenly heard a commotion outside the courtyard, followed by a burst of screams, and Mrs. Zhao's face immediately showed a worried look, but Li Zhang smiled calmly and said: "Don't worry, it's my brother who is teaching people!" ”

Li Zhang said and helped Mrs. Zhao out of the door, and sure enough, he saw a wild dog standing outside the door, and outside the door was a fallen Chu family, the previous Chu Lin who was beaten out with a stone by a wild dog and a full mouth of teeth was among them, but his arm was in a twisted state, it seemed that it should be broken, and behind this group of people, there was a group of people who did not fall, the leader of which was a middle-aged man with a long beard, who looked dignified, but his face distorted by anger destroyed his own temperament.

"Who are you to dare to hurt someone in broad daylight?" I saw the long-bearded middle-aged man pointing at the wild dog and scolding angrily, but he was afraid that the wild dog would attack him, so he stood at the back of the crowd, looking a little ridiculous.

The wild dog stood in front of the gate with his arms crossed, ignoring the clamor of the middle-aged man at all, Li Zhang was talking to the Zhao family inside, and his task was not to disturb the people in the courtyard, so as long as Li Zhang didn't open his mouth, no one would want to step into this courtyard for half a step.

Li Zhang handed over Mrs. Zhao to Sanniang, and then stepped forward to look at these people outside the courtyard, and then asked the middle-aged man with a long beard, "Who are you, why did you come here to make trouble?" ”

"Who are you, why did you hurt our Chu family?" The middle-aged man did not answer Li Zhang's words, but stepped forward and asked.

"Hehe, you don't care who I am, but your Chu family is really bold enough to steal the Zhao family's property, what do the magistrates of Hejian Mansion do to eat, and they actually indulge you so much?" Li Zhang sneered at the moment and said, if he hadn't arrived in time today, I'm afraid the Zhao family would have been unlucky, and the Chu family acted so unscrupulously, obviously with the connivance of the officials, which made him very annoyed.

As soon as Li Zhang's words came out, the middle-aged man on the other side was also startled, because Li Zhang's tone was so big that he didn't seem to take the entire Hejian Mansion in his eyes, which made him feel bad, but then he saw that Li Zhang was so young, and he was very fresh, at most he was a junior of a powerful person in another place, which made him regain his calm.

"I'm not old, but my tone is not small, I don't care who you are, but on the ground of Hejian Mansion, it's not your turn to go wild!" Thinking of the above, the long-bearded middle-aged man also felt that his waist was much stiffer, and he pointed angrily again.

"Who? Who's beating people here? As soon as the long-bearded middle-aged man finished speaking, he saw a team of officials rushing from the street next to him, led by a tall middle-aged man with a beard, who looked very powerful, and it was he who shouted just now.

"Qian Bantou, the case I reported, Zhao guy and these two outsiders knocked down the people of our Chu family, you have to be the master of our Hejian Mansion!" When the long-bearded middle-aged man saw this tall money team leader, he also pointed at Li Zhang and the wild dog at the moment, and then shouted at him with a smile, with the rich team leader in charge, he was not afraid that the two young people in front of him would commit murder again.

"It turned out to be Master Chu, where is the perpetrator, I will take him to the yamen, Miki doesn't believe him and won't recruit him!" I saw that the head of the Qian team also laughed when he saw the middle-aged man with a long beard, and said very enthusiastically, it seems that they are all acquaintances.

I saw that Qian Bantou and Master Chu politely exchanged a few words, and then the other party strode in front of Li Zhang and the wild dog with more than a dozen officials, looked them up and down, and sneered: "I don't know how important things are at a young age, even if I offend the Chu family, I dare to beat people in public, no one can save you now, come back to the yamen with me!" ”

Qian Bantou waved his hand as he spoke, and more than a dozen officials behind him also pounced like wolves, but Li Zhang looked at the group of officials who pounced on him but smiled calmly: "Are you sure you want to arrest this official?" ”

As soon as the word "this official" came out, Qian Bantou was also startled, his face was hideous, and the official who was about to pounce on him also stopped in fright, and then turned his head to look at his head, after all, no one dared to pretend to be an official these days, if the other party was an official, even if it was a small official, it was also an official status, at least much higher than the status of these officials.

The old man Chu in the back was also startled when he heard Li Zhang's words, but he was very calm, because their Chu family also has a lot of power in the officialdom, and even there are people in the family who are officials, so if the young man in front of him is really an official, although it will be a little troublesome, but he is not afraid, after all, with the age of the other party, I am afraid that the position will not be high.

However, Qian Bantou had the background of the Chu family, and he saw that his face changed several times, and finally showed a reluctant smile and stepped forward and saluted: "I don't know what the prince is called, where he is served, and why did he commit crimes in our Hejian Mansion?" ”

Li Zhang sneered again when he heard this, although the attitude of this Qian team leader was a little softer, but he still pushed the responsibility on his own head outside the words, obviously he still wanted to help the Chu family, it is estimated that he had been with the Chu family before.

"You are not qualified to know the position of this official!" Li Zhang snorted coldly, and then looked at the old man Chu before he said again, "Since the Chu family has sued this official, then take them to the court together, and then I want to see how the officials of Hejian Mansion try the case!" ”

The more arrogant Li Zhang was, the more respectful Qian Bantou's attitude became, and then he also looked at Master Chu behind him in great embarrassment, after all, the other party was an official, which was beyond the scope of his handling, and he could only let the Chu family come forward in person.

"Just go, a petty official from other places dares to spread wilderness in Hejian Mansion, and then see if your official position can be kept?" Master Chu is also very tough, he is more familiar with the officials of Hejian Mansion than anyone else, and there are several officials who have interests with their Chu family, plus he firmly believes that Li Zhang's position is not high, so he is not afraid of seeing officials at all.

Li Zhang looked at the appearance of Master Chu and sneered, his position is indeed not high, and the captain of the cavalry is only the fifth rank, one level lower than the prefect from the fourth rank, and there is no serious official position, the position of martial arts was withdrawn when he was imprisoned, and the envoy has no binding force on the magistrate, but don't forget, he is a relative of the emperor, and he is also the emperor's cousin, the nominal nephew of the queen mother, not to mention the small magistrate, no one dares to mess with the big man in the capital.

At that moment, Li Zhang explained to Mrs. Zhao and her family, and then followed Qian Bantou to the mansion, and Master Chu and his party were naturally taken away, including Chu Lin and others who were injured by wild dogs, which was also specially ordered by Master Chu, because he wanted to use these people as evidence to convict Li Zhang.

Li Zhang and they haven't arrived at the mansion yet, and the person sent by Qian Bantou to report the news has already reported the matter to the Hejian prefect, this prefect's surname is Qiu, when he learned that the Chu family had a conflict with a young official from other places, he couldn't help frowning, he and the Chu family have no interests, and even for the Chu family, a local big family, he is still a little disgusted, but he doesn't dare to move them, because these people have a lot of power in the officialdom, if he really moves the Chu family, I'm afraid he will not be the prefect.

If the Chu family was bullying an ordinary person, the Qiu Governor's Mansion would probably turn a blind eye, but the other party was an official, and he didn't know the position, let alone the origin, which made it a little difficult for him, and finally after thinking twice, he decided to deal with the case himself, so as not to have any omissions below.
