When Luo Lingwei heard that Zhao Wei and the rest had been taken away by the yamen, she was very surprised. She quickly had the shopkeeper take her to the yamen to find the local magistrate and release her.
As for the bailiff, he escorted the few of them to the prefectural yamen's office, where he stood with arms crossed, looking overweeningly arrogant. Zhao Wei looked around and saw the middle-aged man who was beaten up before sitting behind a public trial. After a short while, a group of yamen runners shouted loudly and the new Prefect of Ming Lin Prefecture ascended to his seat.
Zhao Wei looked up and saw that he knew this Prefect. His name was Lu Pingliang, and this Prefect had been secretly giving gifts to Ye Qing when he was still a judge, wanting him to say a few words in front of Ye Lianhe. Coincidentally, after the "Yuan Lin Party case", Ye Lianhe had easily promoted him to take Hou Qing's place. However, Zhao Wei had only observed him from the shadows. The two of them had never met, so that person did not know Zhao Wei.
"Why don't you kneel?" Lu Pingliang pointed at Zhao Wei and shouted angrily as he saw that Zhao Wei was standing with his hands behind his back, looking around and not putting him in his eyes at all.
When Zhao Wei saw the commoners who had gathered outside the court to watch the commotion, he felt it was troublesome. This time, he was disguised to avoid being hunted by Lu Pingliang. If his identity was exposed because of Lu Pingliang, it wouldn't be worth it.
"Lord Lu, I have something I need to say with you in front of the Ascension Hall. I would like to ask you to do me a favor." Zhao Wei deliberately emphasized the words "Lord Lu" to indicate to Lu Pingliang that he was no ordinary citizen. However, Lu Pingliang was infuriated by Zhao Wei's neither humble nor arrogant attitude. He didn't care what Zhao Wei's words meant, he pointed at Zhao Wei and said, "You troublesome citizen, how dare you look down on this official! Someone, beat the crap out of the old master! "
Zhao Weixin said it was over, so this guy was just a fool. It seemed that he couldn't let this matter rest. Zhao Wei was still wounded, and Little Qing and Little White, who were at the side, knew that Zhao Wei was trying to hide his identity, so they had no choice but to keep quiet.
On the side, old man Wang and the others were all honest and honest residents of the city. They immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Master, it was that servant who took liberties with this commoner's niece, this commoner fought with him, and this commoner came forward to help when he saw this commoner being bullied and looked down upon! I hope that you can investigate! " Old man Wang kowtowed while begging for mercy.
However, Lu Pingliang didn't want to talk to him. He just glanced at him and said coldly, "Did I let you speak? "Men, drag this disrespectful old man to the side and slap his face. Then, send a few more people here to torture this unruly man who defies the law!"
"I want to see who dares!" Suddenly, a shout was heard from outside the crowd.
The crowd turned their heads to look and saw a seventeen or eighteen year old young woman walk out from the crowd.
For the past two days, Luo Lingwei and her group had been resting and reorganizing themselves. As a result, Luo Lingwei had changed back into the embroidered dress she wore in the prince's mansion. Her slim and elegant appearance caused all of the men present to stare at her. Lu Pingliang was furious when he heard it, but when he saw who it was, he became listless.
"Wang... "Esteemed wangfei, why are you here?" Lu Pingliang stammered, obviously Luo Lingwei's appearance was unexpected.
"How dare you!" "Why aren't you bowing to esteemed wangfei!" Xiaoqing stood at the side and shouted to the people in front of the hall.
After this shout, Lu Pingliang felt as if he had just awoken from a dream. He immediately went down to his knees and kowtowed.
"This official pays his respects to esteemed wangfei, esteemed imperial concubine, a thousand years old!"
Luo Lingwei knew that this kind of vile character was not to be taken advantage of. She only glanced at him and waved a hand for him to get up.
At the same time, everyone inside and outside the court saw Prefect Lu act respectfully towards this man, and when they heard the words' esteemed wangfei 'from his mouth, they understood as well. Everyone immediately knelt down and paid their respects.
After the ceremony, everyone took their seats. Luo Lingwei also sat down beside Lu Pingliang. Lu Pingliang knew that this woman was not normal. She had also helped Yen Lianhe to win over the hearts of the people, and had imperceptibly increased the prestige of the Mansion of the Great Spirit King. The bystanders might think that Luo Lingwei relied on the influence of the Myriad Spirit King Manor in the imperial court to open a restaurant, but Lu Ping's heart was clear that all of this was because of Luo Lingwei, and Ye Lianhe had only helped her a little. On the contrary, it was Luo Lingwei who used her so-called "national chain" to bring considerable profits to the palace, and it was also through this income that the Guangling King was able to further enlist his courtiers. In addition, her father was General Zhenyuan, a man with a powerful army, and even the Son of Heaven had to respect her. She was only a government official of the sixth rank, so it was only a sentence for her to go home and farm.
Thinking about this, Lu Pingliang couldn't help but break out in cold sweat. He then patted the wood and pointed at the boy in green clothes and said, "You mischievous thing. How dare you lie to me!"
