Upon hearing Li Ling's words, the old man pondered for a moment before sighing, "Respected guests, that Zhang Quandan's father is a tyrant in Huangling Village, which is under Huangling Town. His name is Zhang Laosi, and he commits all manner of atrocities in the village, acting practically like an emperor."
As the old man spoke, Jiese could not help asking, "Elder, why don't the people of Huangling Village report him to the authorities?"
Hearing this, the old man glanced at Jiese and smiled bitterly. "Report him? A few years ago, a family in Huangling Village had their land forcibly seized by Zhang Laosi. Unable to stomach the injustice, that family chose to report him to the officials. But not long after, they were arrested on charges of provoking trouble and stirring up disputes, and I heard they committed suicide in their prison cell."
