Fan Yu, who had been defeated, no longer struggled and said honestly: "As long as I know, I will tell you the truth."

Li Ling's eyes flashed and said in a deep voice: "After Mid-Autumn Festival last year, did your Huaibei Guard send dozens of people out of the camp to Hengzhou Prefecture, and collude with the Wei family in Jiangbei County?"

This question made Fan Yu's body shake: "Yes... there is indeed this. This is an order issued by the commander, but I know only what they did in Jiangcheng County..." At this point, his face changed again, because the smile on Li Ling's face was ridiculed, which also made him realize that he had lost his words.

Li Ling lowered his body slightly and stared at his eyes: "You said you have nothing to do with this matter, but you also know that they are actually going to Jiangcheng County. Is this a bit too conflicting? I think this matter is a secret in the military, and it is impossible for non-visitors to know their true movements. You should be the leader, right?"

Fan Yu opened his mouth as if he wanted to defend himself, but when he was at the mouth, he was still intimidated by Li Ling's momentum. He did not dare to make any more excuses and could only nod his head powerlessly. He really regretted that there was a flaw in his words just now. He was really frightened and wanted to deny it, but he didn't want to speak quickly and not tell himself.

Li Ling's expression became more and more gloomy: "Who did you ask you to go out to Jiangcheng County without regard to military discipline? Is the commander of the first battalion so bold?"

At this point, Fan Yu could only tell the truth: "Guanshuo only acted on orders, and Governor Fei was the one who ordered it. But he was also entrusted by someone. As for whom he asked him to help me, I dare not ask too much."

Li Ling nodded slightly to express his agreement. That's right. The governor of a province and the governor of the army can indeed cover up the sky with all kinds of affairs in the army. Sending a small team of soldiers and horses to leave the camp privately will make it impossible for the gods to know, just like today.

"Is the Huaibei Guard Governor expensive?" Li Ling naturally knew his name, and also knew that he was forty-three years old, the youngest among the governors of various provinces in Dayue Province. It is said that he also relied on the military achievements he made in suppressing bandits, and then he was promoted to such a high position. Now let's think about it, maybe his starting point was the battle between the Wei family and the bandits that day.

Because he knew that the army was involved when his sister was abducted, Li Ling had carefully learned about some of the situations in the Great Yue military camp, especially the Huaibei Guard, who was the subject of his focus on investigation. It was from these investigations that he understood some of the disciplines in the army and knew how serious the crime of leaving his post without permission and acting privately like Fan Yu and others. Once those bosses found out that they were killed, they could only eat coptis chinensis. It can be said that it was Fan Yu's action last year that caused them to suffer today's defeat!

Fan Yu didn't know the reason, but just looked at Li Ling: "I said everything, you... just let me go..."

"The last question is, why did Hengzhou Prefecture Office cooperate with you at that time to trick the Jiangcheng County Magistrate into the Prefecture?"

"The reason why the prefect Di is willing to cooperate with us is because he read a secret letter from my governor, and his official position is far lower than that of my governor, so it is reasonable to act according to his orders."

"Is that true? What was written in that secret letter? Have you read it?"

"The letter was covered with fire paint, and Governor Fei solemnly asked me to hand it over to the prefect Di in person. Naturally, I didn't dare to dismantle it privately. After reading it, the prefect Di destroyed the letter, so only the two of them knew the content of the letter."

"Okay, I'm done with my words." Li Ling nodded with satisfaction. Just as Fan Yu breathed a sigh of relief, there was a scream on the side. He suddenly turned his head and looked at him. Just as he saw Yang Qinghou raising his sword and killing Han Binding by the river. At the same time, some other Cao Gang people also took action, stabbing the weapons into more than a dozen prisoners without hesitation. After they were exhausted, they kicked the body into the Gangu Caohe River with one foot, and disappeared after several floating and sinking.

Seeing this scene, Fan Yu's panic was even worse, and he was about to kowtow to Li Ling: "Li... Master Li, I have no grudges and grudges with you. You must keep your word..."

"Don't worry, since I promised you that you would speak for you and let Gangmaster Yang not kill you, I will do it." Li Ling said expressionlessly. At this time, Yang Qinghou had already brought people over: "Brother Li, do you have a holiday with General Fan Shen?"

"It's not a big deal, it's just that last year he took people to my Jiangcheng County and forced my sister away."

"What happened?" Yang Qinghou and the others were surprised, not understanding whether they were the official army or the bandits. But since Li Ling didn't want to say more, they didn't ask too much, just looking at Fan Yu with panic: "Tell me, which officials are the ones who are trying to attack me, it should be more than you in the general's family?"

Although Fei Chong was a military officer in the border area, he could not stretch his hands for such a long time. He dared to send people to southern Henan to kill. It was obvious that the local government would not be able to escape. Now Yang Qinghou and the others were eager to know the identities of these officials so that they could prevent or even fight back.

Seeing Fan Yu's hesitation, Li Ling spoke again: "Tell me it all. You have sold all your governors just now. Do you still care about this? Don't worry, as long as you explain truthfully, I will definitely do what I promise you. Gangmaster Yang and the others will definitely not hurt you."

Yang Qinghou and others were obviously stunned for a moment, but after seeing Li Ling nodding slightly to him, he still temporarily pressed the question in his heart, just looking at Fan Yu: "Say, otherwise don't blame us for being polite."

Anyone who has already explained a certain secret, the other secrets can no longer be kept. Faced with the pressure of life and death, Fan Yu finally said truthfully: "Liu Kaiyuan, the governor of Yu Nan, and Huang Bingyao, the governor of Jingnan..." He even reported the names of seven or eight local officials in one breath, which made Yang Qinghou and the others pale in their faces, both shocked and angry.

Not only did officials in Huaibei and southern Henan want to attack them, but also officials in central Lu and Huguang also had some help. It can be said that in addition to the far away from Jiangnan, local civil and military officials in the places where Caohe River flowed through the Central Plains actually put all their ideas on their Caogang, and they all wanted to tear off a piece of meat from them.

Of course, these people are either just showing their attitude or just adding fuel to the fire. Only the brave enough Huaibei governor has a heavy fee!

But even so, Yang Qinghou and the others were under great pressure. After all, they were just making trouble for life on the crowd. But those who were thinking about them were local officials. They were thicker than their waists when they reached out their fingers, and the road ahead would be difficult.

After Fan Yu finished everything, he collapsed to the ground as if his bones were removed, leaving only one request: "I have told you everything I know. Please let me go... I swear, I will change my mind when I go back this time and I will never dare to be enemies with you again."

Yang Qinghou looked at him and looked at the bodies floating in the water. There were traitors from the Cao Gang and those officers and soldiers. Just now, he was the only one left to live on the two ships, so whether it was to keep the secret or vent his anger, it seemed that it was impossible to keep him alive!

Just when he wanted to reject Fan Yu, Li Ling spoke first: "Gangmaster Yang, can you let me fulfill my promise? Please don't hurt him?"

"Boy, what do you mean? Do you know how many brothers I died in Cao Gang this night because of them?" Before Yang Qinghou could speak, a strong man from Cao Gang next to him was already dissatisfied with speaking. Others followed and said, "This is our Cao Gang's business. When will it be an outsider's turn to make the decision?"

"If our gang leader hadn't been polite to you, I would have wanted you to look nice!"

"A weak scholar may not even have a chicken killed, and he dares to learn from others to be a hero?"

Faced with the sarcasm of these people, Li Ling was not angry or panic at all, but just looked at Yang Qinghou with a smile: "Gangmaster Yang, don't you want to recruit me? Why, don't you even give me this little trust?"

Yang Qinghou frowned slightly, looked at Li Ling thoughtfully, and then smiled: "Okay, to show my sincerity of Cao Gang, I will follow you today. Our Cao Gang will not touch you again."

The Cao Gang people were stunned when he said this. He really couldn't understand why his gang leader valued this weak scholar so much. Only she, who seemed to be thinking about his every move, always felt that there was something else in it.

Fan Yu was overjoyed at this moment, and his life was finally saved: "You wait, one day, I will give you ten or a hundred times what I have endured today..."

Just as he was feeling ruthless, he saw Li Ling passing through Yang Qinghou's hand, which was still bleeding, and slowly came to him. Fan Yu's face suddenly showed a flattering smile: "Young Master Li, I'm sorry..." As he said that, he turned slightly and leaned his hands in front of him so that he could remove the ties for himself.

But at this moment, Fan Yu suddenly felt a sudden chill in his heart, and another pain came. He lowered his head again, and suddenly found that there was a bloody sword tip on his chest...

His eyes were full of disbelief, and he looked back with all his might. He saw Li Ling holding the hilt of the sword in both hands, pulling back with force, and snorting, the sword left his heart again, and at the same time, his life was also drawn away. Before he was unwilling to fall down, Fan Yu was still staring at Li Ling. Although he could not speak, his meaning was very clear - why? Why did you kill me and why did you lie to me?

Li Ling looked at him with a plain expression: "I did fulfill my promise. The Cao Gang's people did not touch you, but I am not a Cao Gang's person, so killing you is not considered a breach of contract!"
