Li Zhang and the people from the Chu family were taken to the government office, and the prefect Qiu also sat upright in the court to interrogate the cases of the two families himself. At this time, Master Chu quickly stepped forward and saluted: "See Prime Minister Qiu, his younger brother Chu Lin, and dozens of servants were injured by two evil people from other places. Please ask the prefect to make the decision for our Chu family!"

"Well, I have always been fair. As long as it is not your Chu family's fault, I will naturally give you justice." Prefect Qiu said lightly, and then looked at Li Zhang with some curiosity. If this young man's weight is too small, he can only lean towards the Chu family in the end. After all, compared to an official from another place, he is not willing to offend such a powerful man as the Chu family too much.

"The Chu family is the plaintiff, and you two are the defendants. So now I want to know what your identities are, and why did you come to our Hejian Mansion to cause trouble?" Master Qiu asked immediately as he looked at Li Zhang.

Li Zhang did not say nonsense, and directly winked at the wild dog next to him. Then the wild dog took out a seal from his body and sent it to the prefect Qiu. At first, the prefect Qiu was a little uneasy, but when he saw this big seal, he was stunned at first, and then a look of shock appeared on his face.

Li Zhang's seal was his official seal as an envoy. When their delegation went to Leshou County before, the magistrate of Leshou County also reported the affairs of the delegation to Hejian Prefecture. Therefore, the prefect Qiu naturally knew about the arrival of the delegation, and even wanted to go to greet the delegation in person, but before he could set off, he did not expect that the young man in front of him was actually carrying the envoy's seal, which means that the other party was the official envoy sent to the Liao Kingdom this time.

"It turns out to be Li Duwei. The subordinate is rude. Please don't blame him!" Master Qiu stood up immediately, then saluted Li Zhang with a smile on his face.

The prefect Qiu was in charge of the country, so he naturally had something to do with the capital, so he had known about Li Zhang's leadership of the mission to Liao Kingdom this time, and he also knew about Li Zhang's identity. Although Li Zhang's rank seemed to be lower than him, he was a close minister of the emperor and a relative of the empress dowager, so he could not offend him. So when he learned that the mission came to the territory of Hejian Prefecture, he wanted to greet him, so he would have a relationship with the close minister of the emperor.

As soon as Prison Qiu said the words, Master Chu in the lobby immediately changed his face. He never dreamed that Prison Qiu would be so enthusiastic about this young man, and he also called the other party the commander. This was a great honorary official, at least he could not offend him.

"Master Qiu, don't be polite. This time I came to Hejian Mansion just to visit friends, but I didn't expect that my friend's house was bullied. And they also wanted to attack me. Fortunately, my brother's martial arts skills are superb, so that I can protect my safety!" Li Zhang immediately replied politely.

"So that's it. Chu Zhi, you are really bold. You dare to attack Li Duwei. Do you really think that this mansion is a decoration?" After hearing Li Zhang's words, Qiu immediately scolded Master Chu with an angry look on his face. Chu Zhi was Master Chu's name.

"Master Qiu, our Chu family is the plaintiff, how can you believe his one-sided words?" Master Chu retorted again with some reluctance. Although he already knew that this Li Duwei was of a big background, their Chu family was not easy to mess with. If it really didn't work, he could only force it.

"Haha, you are still stubborn. You plotted on the Zhao family's cloth shop and even arrested and beat the Zhao family. Such a lawless thing is simply unscrupulous. So I asked the Zhao family's people to come over and uphold justice for them!" Li Zhang rebelled against Yijun at this time. The Zhao family had no backer before, and even if they reported to the official, it was useless. But now with him, he didn't believe that the prefect Qiu dared to cover up the Chu family.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Zhang said something, Master Chu's face changed immediately, and Prefect Qiu immediately ordered someone to invite the Zhao family. He wanted to establish a relationship with Li Zhang, and now he would not miss such a good opportunity. After all, compared to Li Zhang, the close minister of the emperor, the Chu family was nothing at all.

Seeing that the prefect Qiu cooperated with Li Zhang so much, even his words and deeds were somewhat pleasing, Master Chu was completely panicked, because he knew that although Prefect Qiu did not do anything great when he came to Hejian Prefecture, he even gave them some face to the big clans, but after all, they were the prefect and there were great people behind him. But now even Prefect Qiu is so respectful to this Duke Li, which shows that the other party’s background is far greater than he imagined.

Thinking of the above, Master Chu couldn't help but feel even more guilty. He quietly ordered a few servants to help the soldiers. Prefect Qiu saw Master Chu's actions, but he smiled calmly and did not stop them at all. He was even a little happy because he also wanted to take this opportunity to hit the people behind the Chu family, so as not to take their prefect seriously.

After a while, the people from the Zhao family had not arrived yet, but three officials rushed over. One of the leaders was a gray-haired old man, tall and thin, and his wide official uniform was like hanging on a clothes hanger, which made people worry that a gust of wind might blow him away.

"Master Qiu, what are you doing? Why did you arrest Brother Chu?" After the tall and thin old man came to the lobby, he immediately told Magistrate Qiu without asking any questions. This old man was the Tong's magistrate of Hejian Prefecture, named Wang Gu. In addition to assisting the magistrate in handling affairs in the prefecture, the Tong's magistrate also has the responsibilities of supervisory officials. Therefore, to a certain extent, the magistrate must also be controlled by the Tong's magistrate.

"The Chu family is breaking the law first, and our government is trying this case. Does Parliament Wang Tong also need to ask about this case?" However, Prefect Qiu replied without hesitation.

When Wang Tong saw that the prefect Qiu was so tough, he was stunned at the moment. Because he had the responsibilities of an inspector, even if the prefect Qiu had a higher position than him, he was very polite to him in normal times, but today he became so tough. This made his first reaction not to be angry, but to surprise, and even had a bad premonition.

"Prime Minister Wang Tong, right? Do you want to stand up for the Chu family?" Li Zhang asked at this moment, looking at Wang Gu indifferently. Although his tone was very plain, it was filled with a sense of pride.

"You...Who are you?" Wang Gu was also an old man in the officialdom. He immediately realized that the change in Master Qiu's attitude towards him was probably due to this young man. Although the other party was not old, his words and deeds were definitely not like ordinary people, which made his aura soften suddenly.

"Prime Minister Wang Tong must not be rude. This is Li Duwei from the capital. Why don't you give him a tribute quickly!" Before Li Zhang could answer, Magistrate Qiu scolded Wang Gu first.
