The Xu family froze again, and everyone's eyes fell on the head of the family. This was something they had never encountered before. In the past, no one in the government dared to talk to them so unrestrainedly, let alone come to the door to get people directly. Among them, the one who felt the most panic was Xu Mao. He looked at Xu Ziyang with a beggar and almost knelt down and begged to his uncle to save him.

Xu Ziyang's face turned pale and red, red and green, and his heart was filled with many thoughts, both angry and a little panic, because he had seen the arrogance and strong hostility in the eyes of these county officials who dared to invade the door. Once he really dared to stand it and not hand over the person, they really didn't mind fighting and taking down all the Xu family, including themselves, they definitely have this strength!

At this moment, Xu Ziyang finally knew a fact. It was not that he could use his own skills to cover the sky in Huating before, but because he had not met an opponent. But now, Li Ling's appearance and performance have presented this fact to him naked!

"Xu Mao..." Without being silent for too long, Xu Ziyang spoke softly: "You go with them. I believe that the Qing Dynasty will come to the Qing Dynasty. County Magistrate Li will not wrongly accuse you, an innocent person, nor will he torture you or make a move!"

This was not so much as comforting Xu Mao, whose face had changed drastically and almost knelt down, but it was better to remind Chang Fan and others not to think about torture and force people to confess. However, the men of the Cao Gang obviously did not understand the metaphor, but just followed Xu Ziyang's gaze and locked on Xu Mao who was trembling: "You are Xu Mao? Let's follow us to go back to the county government to explain everything!"

As they said that, the two of them stepped forward, and in front of the Xu family, they pushed the person down and tied him up and walked out. This time, no one dared to say anything more, and they just watched them leave with a frightened look. Many Xu family members had an unprecedented anxiety and panic. It turned out that what they thought they could protect themselves from worry-free for the rest of their lives and would not be pursued no matter what they did was wrong.

Xu Ziyang clearly felt the psychological change of his nephews, and opened his mouth, unable to say anything to inspire people. After all, the facts were in front of him. Then, his heart sank again, thinking that there was something more terrifying than Xu Mao being taken back to the county yard and that was about to happen - Li Ling actually planned to replace many officials in the county yard!

If he really does this, his power in the yamen and even Huating will be greatly hit, and the consequences will be unimaginable. Without any hesitation, he looked at his most trusted son: "Xu Mo."

"Dad..." Xu Mo looked at his father in a daze. Xu Mao was taken away by this shock until now, but he still couldn't calm down.

"You will bring people to contact other people who work in the county government office and ask them to go back quickly. Things have changed! Then Li Ling is more decisive and terrifying than we thought. This time he can only bow his head." Although he was reluctant, Xu Ziyang still said something powerful in his own family.

Xu Mo was stunned at first, and then understood. Without even seeing the reaction of others, he agreed and hurried away. Yes, compared to Xu Mao's affairs, once the county government office came to a major change of blood, kicked out all those who had obeyed his own orders, which would have a much greater impact. Therefore, there must be no delay in this matter. We must notify the matter quickly, and at least we must occupy all the positions!

Xu Ziyang looked at the people who were still stunned and said, "Xu Sen, hurry up and go back to the county government office. Others who have positions in the government office will go back. Even if you lower your head this time, you will have to save your position for me!"

These people came back to their senses, and like Xu Sen, they all agreed, and then ran out with great worries. Some of the other children who were not in the county government did not dare to stay for a long time because they knew that the head of the family was in a bad mood, so they followed them. In the end, except for some servants in the hall, only Xu Kun was still standing there unconsciously.

Seeing that his father ignored him, Xu Kun became more and more frightened and couldn't help but scream: "Dad..."

Xu Ziyang, who was still pondering, looked at her reckless son in surprise when she heard the sound: "Why are you still here and not leaving?"

"Go? Where to go?" Xu Kun looked puzzled.

"Leave Huating and go to the outside world to avoid the limelight! Don't forget that this matter of the county government was done by you instructed Xu Mao. It is hard to guarantee that he will not explain everything to Li Ling, until then..."

"Son understand, I'll leave now!" Xu Kun suddenly beat him up. When he thought of the newcomers' methods, he felt a little panic and no longer had his former arrogance. He hurriedly responded and went back to the room to pack up the gold, silver, fines, and soft, and planned to escape quickly.

Xu Ziyang thought for a while and then suddenly stood up: "Come here, prepare the car. I want to go to the Fang family!"

Now, the Xu family alone seems to be unable to compete with Li Ling. They must pull the Fang family up and work together with the two families to withstand the pressure from Li Ling. Xu Ziyang believes that the Fang family, which seems to have not had any conflicts with Li Ling, will definitely see the importance of it. Even if there have been conflicts over the past two years, at this critical moment, cooperation is the only choice to ensure itself.

When Xu Ziyang hurried to the Fang family in a carriage, Xu Mao had been escorted back to the county government.

But to his surprise, Li Ling did not immediately interrogate him about the reasons for the assassination last night. He didn't even meet him, so he was directly imprisoned. At this time, there were more than a dozen fierce men in the prison. When they saw Xu Mao, someone shouted: "Why are you locked up? Didn't you say that the Li surnamed is nothing scary?"

It was precisely because of his judgment that they only had such a small amount of manpower this time. Now, the arrest of the entire Dajiang Gang has dragged in. The consequences are too serious. I don’t know what Lord Jiang will do to deal with it.

Faced with these men who glared at him, Xu Mao felt even more nervous and could only say vaguely: "I... I didn't expect that this is the case. Who would have thought that County Magistrate Li had a helper? Who are they?"

"I asked about their identity, and one of them mentioned it and said that he was from the Cao Gang." Someone gave the answer, but Xu Mao was stunned. The Cao Gang is a gang that is stronger than the Dajiang Gang. What is Li Ling's identity? He can actually use these people for his use, and he will not hesitate to surrender to the county government to obey the order?

There were also a group of officials who had just received the news and rushed to the county government office.

When they received the news from the Xu family, they couldn't believe their ears anymore. How could this be possible?

In just a few days, County Magistrate Li recruited others for his use. But the errands in the county government are an important source of money to support his family. They also guarantee his own identity and must not be lost!

So, in just over half an hour, a large group of county yamen officials returned to the yamen, making the originally deserted county yamen lively again.

However, although they successfully entered the gate, when they arrived at the gate in front of the second hall, they were blocked by four men like door gods: "Who dares to trespass on the second hall of the county government?"

Haven't you seen our clothes? We are all people in the county government office, which blocked our way... Everyone was very annoyed, but after seeing these calm and calm looks and weapons on their waists, they still replied obediently: "We were originally a county government office clerk. We had a leave because of illness before, but now we have recovered from the illness, so we have returned to the county government office and apologized to the county emperor."

"Is that so? Let's wait here. The county magistrate has something to do. When he has time, he will let you in."

"But... we are people in the county government office. Even if we have to wait, we can go to our respective entrustment rooms and wait while handling the job..." Someone immediately put forward his own ideas, and at the same time won the approval of others: "Yes, yes, I haven't arrived at the county government office for a few days, and I guess I have accumulated a lot of rush to deal with. Why don't we finish everything first before talking about it..."

"No." Faced with their request, the four people who were staying here had no intention of being at all. They shook their heads, "The county magistrate said that there are important things to do today, and no idle people are allowed to enter."

"We are not idle people waiting, we are county yamen officials!" Someone was so angry that he saw that the other party refused to let go no matter how he said that. He shouted and reached out to push people into it.

"Knock-swish!" The sword light suddenly came out and slashed past several people. Fortunately, this sword will not hurt people, and the speed was not very fast. It only scared the man and the few around him quickly quit and screamed and retreated, but there was no blood. But this time, it was enough to show the attitude of the people who were guarding here, and the sword-blade even shouted: "Those who dared to break into the door will be treated as an assassin, and they will kill them regardless!"

These officials now really understood Li Ling's tough attitude, and they all showed fear on their faces. They did not dare to make any moves of forcing them, and waited outside obediently. Some people thought that this might be the decision made by the county magistrate to suppress his momentum. As long as he waited to be soft and admitted his mistake, he would pass.

After all, there are so many things inside and outside the county yamen, people need to do them themselves. No matter how capable the county magistrate is, it is impossible for him to do all the responsibilities of dozens or hundreds of people alone. So there is still an opportunity, as long as his attitude is sincere enough...
