Please don't force me to be a god.

Suddenly, there was a sound of gongs outside.

"Clang clang clang clang clang..."

"The government is investigating a case! The government is investigating a case! Get out of my way, let me in."

Several yamen runners, holding a gong, finally squeezed in.

When patrolling, yamen runners usually carry a small gong in addition to a knife.

In case of major events such as fires and civil unrest, people cannot hear you just by shouting, so the gong comes in handy.

The patrolling yamen runners saw that people from the whole street were rushing over here, and they thought something bad had happened.

As soon as they ran over, they heard people say that there were human traffickers and hostages.

Seeing Tiedong holding the knife on Su'er's uncle's neck, the yamen runner shouted, "What do you want to do? Put down the knife."

Someone said, "Captain Xing, these people are human traffickers. They robbed someone's niece and wanted to sell her somewhere else!"

Captain Xing's face flashed with anger. Anyone with a conscience hates human traffickers.

"You are so bold! You dare to traffic in people in broad daylight. Arrest them all."

"Wait." Xu Wen said behind Tiedong, "Captain Xing, I am Xu Wen, a scholar from Xiangyang City. There is another story. Please listen to me in detail."

"Scholar?" Captain Xing was shocked.

Although the scholar has no power, he is already a figure that cannot be ignored in front of the government.

Especially for someone as young as Xu Wen, if he passes the imperial examination, he will be a juren master, and his future is limitless.

Captain Xing did not dare to neglect him and bowed his hands and said, "Are you really a scholar? I wonder what you want to say?"

Xu Wen said, "I have a scholar's diploma, I can show it to you later."

"Su'er's parents froze to death in the snow. My fairy master felt sorry for her and thought she was his sister, so he always took good care of her. But Su'er's uncle and aunt wanted to take Su'er away, and wanted to raise her and sell her to Yichunlou."

"What? There is such a thing? Who is Su'er's uncle?"

"I am." Su'er's uncle was held at the neck by a knife, but he was not very scared.

"I am Liu Xingjia, this Su'er is the orphan of my sister and brother-in-law. They took refuge here a few days ago. Many neighbors can testify."

"Yes, it is true." A neighbor shouted.

"What Xu Xiucai said, you want to raise Su'er and then sell her to Yichunlou? Is that true?"

"Absolutely not!" Su'er's uncle firmly denied, "I am Su'er's uncle, Su'er is my sister's only child, how could I do such a heartless thing. Even if he is a scholar, you can't slander me."

"Besides, he is with the traffickers, and we don't know if he is a scholar. Even if he is a scholar, he should be severely punished for colluding with the traffickers, and he should not be allowed to ruin the reputation of scholars."

Some people in the crowd started to make a fuss: "That's right, what's wrong with being a scholar? Can a scholar traffic in people?"

"I was not trafficked, it was Brother Zhang Tian who saved me, buried my parents, and helped them have a good life." Su'er shouted.

Su'er's aunt said, "What does a child know? She will be so fascinated by a few candies that she will forget her parents. Captain Xing, this matter is very clear. They kidnapped children, which is a heinous crime. As long as they release my bastard and return Su'er, we can let bygones be bygones."

Captain Xing shouted, "Stop arguing! Go back to the government office first."

Seeing that they were going to make a scene at the government office, Su'er's aunt immediately cried and shouted, "Neighbors, go to the government office and judge for me. They dared to commit murder in the street with a knife, and one of them claimed to be a scholar. I wonder if he relied on this status to be so arrogant. Fear..."

"Yes, the scholar and the official are in cahoots, we can't let them succeed."

"Let's go together. If the official dares to collude with the scholar to traffic in human beings, we will definitely report it to Lin'an Prefecture."

Captain Xing shouted: "Okay, stop talking, take everyone back to the yamen first."

Then he said to Tiedong: "This warrior, can you put down the knife first?"

Tiedong said coldly: "I can go to the yamen with you, but I can't put down the knife."

"You..."

It was the first time that Captain Xing saw such an arrogant person who dared to take hostages to the yamen.

However, it's good that the other party is willing to go. When you get to the yamen, it's your territory. Are you afraid that you will run away?

Captain Xing took the two parties and went to the prefectural yamen together.

The people on the whole street followed.

Tiedong held Su'er's uncle's neck with a big knife and walked through the downtown area, attracting attention.

The people who came later didn't know what happened, and asked what happened?

Some people said that Liu Dalang was catching a human trafficker.

Some people said that was not true, he was caught by a human trafficker who wanted to sell Liu Dalang.

The previous one was not convinced, saying that such a big man would not be wanted even if he was sold...

Everyone was arguing and making a fuss, and when they arrived at the government office, and there were so many people following that the whole street was blocked.

The Ezhou magistrate was shocked to see the crowd blocking the government office.

If it is not handled properly, the public sentiment may turn into a civil uprising, which will affect the official position.

The two parties were brought into the court, and Zhang Tian followed in calmly.

Su'er's uncle drove Su'er's family out of the house. Although Zhang Tian was dissatisfied, he was not prepared to retaliate. He just wanted Su'er to not recognize this relative in the future.

Unexpectedly, Su'er's uncle had such a vicious mind, and Zhang Tian would not let it go.

The magistrate came out and was about to open the court.

Seeing Zhang Tian's appearance, his face was startled, and he stood up straight again in a hurry, and asked with his hands clasped: "Is it Zhang Tian from Xiangyang City... Young Master?"

"Yes."

The prefect said: "I am Dong Bi Da, the prefect of Ezhou, and I have met Young Master Zhang."

Dong Bi Da was in Ezhou, which was very close to Xiangyang. Both places were important military towns and shared a lot of intelligence.

Such a big thing happened in Xiangyang City, and Ezhou naturally received all the information.

In addition to the battle report, there was also a portrait of Zhang Tian sent by General Guo.

Regardless of whether the person in front of him was a real immortal or a fake immortal, he was definitely a rare and powerful man who could defeat 30,000 Hu people with 500 people.

He had just contacted Niu Er and Zhuo Ping, and the legendary general of Tianjin Kingdom, Nianhan, was imprisoned in the prefecture.

He was a civil servant, so it was not easy to publicly call Zhang Tian "immortal", but he did not dare to neglect him, so he had to call him Young Master.

Zhang Tian nodded: "Well, hello."

Zhizhou Dong Bi Da instructed his men: "Hurry up and take a seat."

A yamen runner quickly brought up a chair.

Zhang Tian was not polite, holding Su'er and sat down swaggeringly.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Su'er's aunt shouted: "Neighbors, this human trafficker has someone in the yamen, everyone must be a witness for me."

"Wow, this is too much, the human trafficker openly colluded with the yamen."

"Let's wait and see, if the magistrate's judgment is unfair, it will definitely go to Lin'an Prefecture."

Seeing that the people outside the hall supported her, Su'er's aunt looked a little better.

"Pah! Silence!" The prefect slammed the gavel, "You said that Mr. Zhang is a human trafficker?"

At this time, Su'er's uncle had been released by Tiedong. He bowed and said with a stiff face: "Yes, prefect. Su'er is the flesh and blood of my sister and brother-in-law. They died, and it is most appropriate for us to adopt her. What is the difference between them occupying Su'er and trafficking?"

Xu Wen looked at Zhang Tian, ​​and Zhang Tian nodded slightly.

Xu Wen bowed and said: "Prefect, the story is that the Hu people went south to forage for food, and the Su couple came to Ezhou for refuge. Seeing that they were poor, the Liu family drove them out of the house, causing them to freeze to death on the way. After the death of the Su couple, Su'er was rescued by the immortal master. When he came to Ezhou, he was seen by the Liu couple, who wanted to snatch Su'er away and said that after raising him, he would sell him to Yichun Tower."

"Wow... What a vicious heart!" The onlookers outside the hall immediately accused.

"It's unfair, sir, there is absolutely no such thing." Su'er's aunt shouted.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Su'er's uncle took a deep breath and said, "Sir, the prefect, there is absolutely no such thing. Don't listen to his one-sided words. Thousands of eyes are watching now. If there is no evidence, he will favor the human traffickers. My Liu family will never back down even if the lawsuit is brought to Lin'an Prefecture."

Zhang Tian sat on the chair and said lightly, "I have evidence."
