Chapter 1472: Lu Wen's collapse, this case really cannot be judged!

Soon.

Pei Ji followed Pei Cheng's instructions and went to the teahouses and restaurants on Zhu Que Street.

When Pei Ji revealed his identity, it instantly caused shock among the scholars.

The Pei family's reputation was too great, especially for the scholars from humble backgrounds.

Even now, once a great Confucian from the Pei family announced a lecture, the seats were hard to find even with heavy gold.

Not to mention accepting disciples.

So when Pei Ji appeared in front of everyone beaten so miserably, it directly caused a sensation.

"Pei family? Which Pei family?"

"You don't even know this? It's a disgrace to be a scholar! Besides the three-hundred-year-old Pei family with tens of thousands of volumes of books and the family of sages, who else could it be?"

"Hiss!"

"The Pei family's young master was beaten so miserably. Who is so bold?"

"I heard it was Lord Gao, and the three generations of the family beat him together."

"What? Lord Gao? Is this true or false?"

For a time, the streets of Changancheng were all buzzing with discussion.

The people were all shaken.

The Pei family's reputation was already extremely loud, and Gao Yang's name was known to everyone.

Adding the two together, the sensation caused was undoubtedly huge!

Although Pei Ji's face was swollen like a pig's head, he arched his hands and said, "Fellow villagers, ever since our Da Qian was founded, there has been an iron law: 'Those who beat scholar-officials will have their sentence increased by three degrees'!"

"Prime Minister Gao relies on his power to beat me like this. As the saying goes, a scholar can be killed but not humiliated. I absolutely cannot endure this matter. Even if the Living Yama is in a high position, I must bravely draw my sword and seek a 'reason'!"

"I, Pei Ji, am going to the Dali Temple to sue the Living Yama and act according to the law!"

"Under the bright sky, is there no king's law in the world?"

After speaking, Pei Ji stepped toward the Dali Temple. This news also spread in all directions like a storm, causing countless shocks.

Watching the excitement is human nature, which also made the people behind Pei Ji more and more, one after another.

Soon.

Pei Ji arrived outside the Dali Temple and knocked on the drum of appeal!

Boom!

The sound of the drum was like a muffled thunder, echoing through the entire Dali Temple.

A yamen runner walked out from inside, originally a bit lazy, but was startled when he saw the scene in front of him.

His voice became a bit flattering.

"Who is knocking on the drum of appeal? What grievance do you have?"

Pei Ji stood straight. Although his face was swollen like a pig's head, it did not hide his demeanor.

"I am Pei Ji of the Pei family. My father, Pei Cheng, has a heaven-sized grievance. I implore the Dali Temple to make the decision!"

He didn't say anything else, because this face was enough to explain everything.

"Pei family?"

"Pei Ji!"

Upon hearing this, the yamen runner's expression changed.

After saying "wait a moment," he rushed in immediately.

Inside the Dali Temple.

Lu Wen was in his official robe, drinking tea comfortably.

The yamen runner rushed in and said loudly to him, "My Lord, someone has come to report a case!"

Lu Wen frowned and said unhappily, "Someone reported a case? Just let the subordinates handle it. Why bother me specifically?"

"Do I look very idle?"

The yamen runner stooped, "My Lord, this person's status is extraordinary. He is from the Pei family!"

"Pei family?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Wen was instantly not calm.

He hurriedly sat up straight, his eyes flickering, "Which Pei family?"

"Naturally, the Pei family praised as the family of sages. And this person who was beaten is named Pei Ji, the young master of the Pei family!"

Lu Wen suddenly stood up.

"Pei family young master Pei Ji was beaten?"

The yamen runner nodded, "That's right, and his appearance is extremely miserable, his face has become a pig's head."

"But I thought the Pei family young master's status is not ordinary. If you come forward, maybe it will be useful to you in the future!"

Lu Wen smiled and pointed at the yamen runner.

"You kid know how to do things. What is your name?"

Upon hearing this, the yamen runner's expression was suddenly full of joy, and his waist stooped even lower.

"My name is Wang Er!"

Lu Wen said with satisfaction, "Wang Er, right? I have noted your name."

"You go down and tell the Pei family young master that I will personally judge this case!"

Wang Er was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Subordinate thanks you for your cultivation!"

Wang Er left excitedly.

Looking back at the past thirty years, opportunities were like raindrops hitting him, but he had dodged them one by one.

But this time, he took the initiative to grasp it!

This heaven-sent wealth finally reached him, Wang Er!

Lu Wen stroked the beard on his chin, his eyes flickering.

Lu Wen knew very well the status of the Pei family and its influence.

If he could befriend the Pei family, that would naturally be a heaven-sent good thing...

Soon.

Inside the Dali Temple.

Lu Wen was wearing his official hat, his body straight. When he saw Pei Ji's miserable appearance, he was also taken aback.

Who did this, actually beating the future head of the Pei family so ruthlessly?

Lu Wen was very shocked in his heart.

Below him, there was also an official about thirty years old sitting there.
