Old Master Li's face was tense.

He had certainly considered this possibility.

However, Dongjia Village had a large and powerful population, so even if they wanted to rob them by force, they couldn't, and it would only result in more people getting injured.

If someone dies, it will be even more difficult to handle.

Besides, they are now farmers on a private estate, and if they cause any trouble, it will also implicate the owner.

Therefore, we must first seek other methods.

Seeing his restraint and pain, Yun Zhiyi said to Mo Yin.

"Take two people and go rescue them."

Mo Yin raised an eyebrow. "We don't need anyone else. I can do it all by myself."

Yun Zhiyi glanced at her, "Do you know where the place is?"

Mo Yin choked, forgetting that this was a world without the internet, and she couldn't freely search for and locate anything.

Old Master Li hurriedly said, "Master, it's too dangerous to send this young lady."

Mo Yin laughed and said, "Don't worry, even if the whole village attacked together, they couldn't beat me. Why don't you come with me, Grandpa?"

Suddenly, Zhou spoke up, "Let me show you the way."

Seeing her eager expression, Mo Yin simply nodded, "Alright, let's go then."

"This..." Old Master Li looked at the two people driving away in the carriage with some anxiety.

Yun Zhiyi said, "Don't worry, she's a martial artist, she has her own methods."

Old Master Li was slightly taken aback, then heard her say.

"Send someone else to the city to find out what's going on. If it escalates to the point of death, things will get complicated."

Old Master Li's expression changed slightly; he was also worried about this. He immediately bowed and turned to run back.

Yun Zhiyi then walked back to the village by herself.

Soon, Mo Yin brought Li Shurong and his sister back.

However, both of them were in poor condition and were taken back to the village.

When Yun Zhiyi saw the two people's miserable state, her eyes also darkened.

Both of them were covered in blood.

Li Yahe's right cheek was still covered in blood and flesh, looking rather horrifying, clearly burned by firewood.

Li Shurong's two legs were broken, his mouth was full of blood, his head had a hole in it, and his whole body was covered in injuries from being kicked and smashed.

Both of them had already fainted by this time, and Li Shurong's breathing was even gradually weakening.

Zhou had already fainted from crying.

Yun Zhiyi's face was gloomy. She immediately stepped forward and injected a ball of energy into both of them to protect their lives.

Upon receiving the news, the Li family arrived quickly, and upon seeing the two people's tragic state, they were devastated.

Old Master Li, struggling to stay upright, urgently shouted, "Quick, get him to the hospital!"

Yun Zhiyi said in a deep voice.

"I'm temporarily using medication to protect their lives. They're not in immediate danger, and their injuries can be treated later. The best course of action now is to take them directly to the yamen for examination. It's better to strike first."

The group was completely disoriented, but upon hearing this, they felt as if they had found their pillar of support. Suppressing their grief, they immediately and quickly led the two unconscious people into the city to beat the drum of petition.

Soon the call to begin the court proceedings was made.

The crowd, drawn by the sound of drums, was shocked to see the bloodied body on the stretcher and rushed to the viewing platform to find out what had happened.

The stretcher was carried to the hall by the yamen runners, and Old Master Li and his father were also brought in. Upon seeing the prefect, they immediately bowed and paid their respects.

When Prefect Qin saw Li's father, he was somewhat surprised.

After all, not much time had passed, and the incident left a deep impression on him, so he naturally still remembered the other person's appearance.

"Li Bing, a commoner."

"Li Chengzhi, a commoner."

"Greetings, Your Excellency the Prefect."

Prefect Qin glanced outside, then his gaze fell on the two men lying on the ground, seemingly lifeless, and he slammed his gavel down.

"Why are you two beating the drum to appeal to the emperor?"

Father Li immediately took out the petition and presented it, his eyes bloodshot.

"This humble citizen is filing a lawsuit against the Dong family of Dongjia Village for illegally kidnapping their young children and using torture to harm them with the intent to murder them."

Prefect Qin unfolded the petition and quickly glanced at it.

When he saw the phrase "Fortunately, the employer sent people to rescue him," his eyebrows twitched slightly.

Isn't Li Chengzhi's employer Yun Zhiyi?

He couldn't help but glance outside again.

Finally, my gaze fell on two women standing behind one of the observation posts.

One of them was clearly Yun Zhiyi.

Even though the other person's face was still covered by a veil, their demeanor was still very recognizable.

The fact that the other party came in person shows that they value this matter.

Prefect Qin suddenly felt a headache coming on.

Li's father wrote a very detailed and unbiased complaint, including explaining why he had a conflict with the Dong family.

Now that both sides are injured, what could have been a private feud could generally be left to the two sides to try to settle privately.

But now it seems that the Li family is unwilling to settle out of court and has directly escalated the matter to murder, clearly demanding justice.

Prefect Qin breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the coroner to examine the injuries of Li Shurong and his sister before sending someone to find the Dong family.

Most of the Dong family members were still at the clinic in the city at this time. When they learned that the Li family had sued them first, they were all furious.

He then carried his son, who had lost a leg, to the courtroom.

As soon as she arrived, Dong's mother started crying and begging the righteous official to make a decision.

Unlike Li Shurong and Li Yahe, Dong Zhongyuan was still awake, though his face was somewhat pale.

He had gauze wrapped around one foot, and blood was seeping through it, making it look bald and clearly missing the sole.

When he saw the Li family, his eyes immediately flashed with intense hatred.

Even seeing the two people on the ground in equally miserable condition did not ease his mind; instead, it only deepened his resentment and pleasure.

Having lost a leg, he became a cripple.

The Treasure Pavilion will absolutely not keep him any longer, and no one will be willing to marry him.

He could fully imagine what would happen to him in the future.

His life was ruined like this, how could he not hate it?

But he didn't feel he had done anything wrong at all.

Prefect Qin was so annoyed by Dong's mother's wailing that he immediately pounded the gavel repeatedly.

"Silence! Silence!"

The surrounding constables immediately began to strike their batons in a show of force.

Only then did Madam Dong shut up, and the group of people knelt obediently, glaring hatefully at the Li family father and son.

Prefect Qin ordered the coroner to publish the medical examination results for both parties.

Dong Chongyuan's injury was relatively simple, but it was still quite serious. He had one leg chopped off, rendering him useless from now on.

But the situation of the Li siblings is even more serious.

Li Yahe's face was burned by charcoal. Even if it can be treated, it will leave scars and will undoubtedly be disfigured.

Moreover, she had ligature marks on her neck, several burns and club wounds on her body, and obvious internal organ ruptures.

Li Shurong was in even worse shape; both of his legs were broken, and his right ankle was comminuted. Even if both legs could be reattached, one of them would be rendered useless.

But that's not the worst part.

He had four broken ribs, serious internal injuries, and his head was also broken, damaging his skull. He was lucky to survive.

But whether or not they can be revived is another matter.

Even if they can be saved, they will suffer serious long-term effects.

Therefore, the coroner suggested that the person be taken to the clinic for treatment as soon as possible.

The Li father and son knew that the two were seriously injured, but they did not expect it to be this serious. They were immediately filled with anger and grief, and clenched their fists tightly.
