"How can the Shi family seize someone's land in one thing or two? Even the direct descendants of the head of the Shi family may not know that a few slaves can seize someone's land."

Zhang Liang shook his head and said.

"Does County Magistrate Cao Wenhua not care about this matter? Seizing land at will is a serious crime. You should report it to the Yamen and let Cao Wenhua handle it fairly," Mi Qi said.

"Magistrate Cao, you can't count on him."

"I appealed, but as a result, County Magistrate Cao deprived me of my reputation as a scholar." Zhang Liang smiled bitterly, with tears already filling his eyes.

It was difficult for him to shed tears for other things, but being deprived of his fame really hurt him a lot.

"It is precisely because I have been deprived of my fame that I can no longer teach in a private school, nor can I make a living writing for others outside."

Zhang Liang lowered his head and said.

"No wonder you work as a rickshaw puller. Without fame, others won't hire you." Mickey nodded.

In the eyes of people nearby, a person who has been deprived of his fame is like a god of plague. Who would want to associate with him, let alone ask for his name?

In this way, a scholar became the lowest level rickshaw puller.

"What reason did he use to deprive you of your title? It was clearly because your family's land was taken away."

Mickey asked.

"It's so disrespectful. Magistrate Cao randomly found an excuse from my previous articles and deprived me of my reputation on the grounds that I was disrespectful to the current saint."

Zhang Liang lowered his head and said.

"The deprivation of academic honors needs to be verified by the academic administration. Doesn't the academic administration of Sixiang City care about this matter?"

Mickey asked.

"Master Xuezheng, you may not check it carefully. As long as the local county chief official submits the list, the Xuezheng will probably approve it." Zhang Liang sighed.

Unless he has connections and can report it to the academic administration, then the academic administration can re-verify it, otherwise no one will care.

"This is dereliction of duty!"

Mi Qi said coldly: "Achievements are not easy to come by. They have studied hard for ten years and stood out from the crowd. This exam is the foundation of the dynasty. There must be no mistakes or omissions."

"The academic administration did not investigate the deprivation of honors and immediately approved it. Such behavior is secretly undermining the foundation of the imperial court."

Mi Qi has already made plans. After returning to Sixiang City and collecting evidence, she will report to the emperor and impeach the academic administration in Sixiang City.

"They are all big shots. For a little guy like me, there's nothing I can do about it." Zhang Liang smiled bitterly.

He was helpless, there was nothing he could do.

If he continues like this, he will die of exhaustion sooner or later.

The hard work of a rickshaw puller is something that a scholar like him can't do for a long time.

In just a short period of time, he almost couldn't hold on any longer.

"Besides you, do you know anyone else who has had his land or even his fame taken away from him?"

Mickey asked.

"I have seen many things like this in Zhuque County before, but I never thought it would happen to me."

Zhang Liang said. ‘

"Do you have relevant evidence?" Mickey asked again.

"This..." Zhang Liang hesitated.

He has taken a big risk by saying so much now, and he doesn't know the true identity of the person in front of him.

If the person in front of me is sent by Cao Wenhua from Zhuque County, he will use fishing methods to catch those with evil intentions.

Then, as soon as he produces evidence, it will be his time to die.

"Do you recognize this?"

Mickey took out a metal sign and placed it on the table.

There is a big word embossed on the front of the brand, Hide!

"This, is this the Yinwei brand?" Zhang Liang's eyes were filled with surprise and uncertainty.

"Yes, you are indeed a scholar. You recognize the token." Mickey smiled slightly.

The various tokens issued by the imperial court basically have fixed formats.

But those who know the meaning of these tokens are generally scholars.

Those who haven't read books since they were children, they most likely don't know tokens.

Facing that kind of person, Mickey would not take out the token because it would be of no use.

"Master, are you a hidden guard from the imperial court who came to investigate the case?" Zhang Liang asked.

"Yes, the imperial court has noticed the chaos in Zhuque County. Only by thoroughly investigating the problems in Zhuque County can we fundamentally solve the problem." Mi Qi said.

"Sir, with all due respect, the forces in this Zhuque County are so intertwined that it is not easy to find out. If you want to find out, you need to find someone to help." Zhang Liang cupped his hands.

"Who?" Mickey asked.

"The God of Zhuque County captures Mian City." Zhang Liang said this person's name.

Mickey's heart was shocked.

This was the second time she heard this person's name.

The first time I heard it was from Tsuneshiro's mouth.

Tsuneshiro also said that he would help her introduce the god to capture Mian City.

"Can you see that person?" Mickey asked.

"Yes, luckily we have Mr. Mi to help, otherwise all of us would be dead and wouldn't survive now." Zhang Liang said with emotion in his voice.

"Help me make an appointment with Mian City." Mi Qi said seriously.

"No need to make an appointment. If the young master wants to see him, I can take him there now," Zhang Liang said.

"Okay, let's set off now." Of course, Mickey is a straightforward person. Since there are new clues, it is natural to set off immediately without further delay.

She didn't know who Mian Cheng was.

As the saying goes, seeing is believing and hearing is false, she still needs to see it for herself.

Before leaving the Laifu Inn, Mickey used the agreed password and left a message.

After Song Yi and other hidden guards received the signal, they immediately sent capable people to follow Mickey secretly.

This is a precautionary measure.

If there is a trap over there, Mickey can respond in time without being overwhelmed at the moment.

Mickey knew very well that although she was very skilled, she could not beat four hands with her two fists, and she would still die if she was attacked by a surprise attack.

You can never be too cautious.

Left Laifu Inn.

Mickey called a carriage.

Zhang Liang pointed the direction.

When Zhang Liang finally mentioned the place, Mi Qi was a little surprised.

This place turned out to be an orphanage.

"Why is Mian City here?" Mi Qi frowned.

"He usually lives here when he has nothing to do, but he has been idle recently." Zhang Liang said.

"Idle? Isn't he a divine arrester? A divine arrester, the cases should be constant."

Mickey said.

The huge Zhuque County has a total population of hundreds of thousands, so cases keep coming one after another.

As a detective, you have to deal with many difficult cases, and it doesn't take a day or two.

Logically speaking, Mian City should be very busy.

"Magistrate Cao no longer trusts him, just because he intercedes for many people." Zhang Liang sighed, "Master, now he lives here, teaching those children to practice martial arts and writing every day, and enjoys himself."

"Then go and have a look."

Mickey said.

The two got off the carriage and walked quickly inside.

The door here was ajar. When they walked to the door, they heard shouts coming from inside.
