In the front hall of Xu's family, a large number of people knelt there and cried and told their grievances: "Class leader (uncle) you have to make a decision for us. Then Li Ling was so bullying that he drove us out of the county government without saying a few words... and even made people humiliate us so much, and even stripped us of our clothes, making us a joke in everyone's eyes..."

"This is not a reorganization of the county government. It is clearly coming to our entire Xu family. If we don't fight back, he will only become more and more arrogant. At that time, we will suffer less and even the patriarch, you will be insulted..."

The Xu family, who were both shocked, angry and afraid, did not dare to fight with County Magistrate Li. The only thing they could do now was to ask Xu Ziyang for help, let him take action to uphold justice and avenge himself.

Faced with the constant crying and begging of the children, Xu Ziyang did not say a word, and even the expression on his face was frozen, making it impossible for people to see what he was thinking. Until everyone finished saying everything and looked at him carefully for a while, not knowing what the old man was thinking. After he couldn't help but scream again, he snorted coldly: "A bunch of waste! Haven't you always played with those officials in your hands in the past? Why are you so useless today and you can only be at his mercy?"

The children looked ashamed, but they didn't know how to reply. Yes, they could indeed have been able to tighten any official who came to Huating in the past, but the problem is that the new county magistrate did not follow the rules this time, and almost every time they beat them off guard. And more importantly, there are indeed a group of powerful people around this guy, which is not something they can handle.

Seeing everyone's fearful but helpless look, Xu Ziyang hummed again. In fact, he was not the same as him. He was completely beaten by Li Ling's series of fast punches.

He thought he could be polite first and then soldiers, first show his strength, then use benefits to win over, and then completely wipe out Li Ling through the means that he had always been available in the past, and finally become his own puppet, just like Xu Gong before.

But what happened? Li Lingda made his plan fail from the beginning, and he didn't even attend the reception banquet he used to show his strength. Then, he completely ignored the threat of the county corps and officials, and instead introduced his own people to control the overall situation of the county corps. Now he has gone further and kicked all the people in the county corps out of the game. Now it is difficult for him to fight back again.

This matter must not be just forgot about it, otherwise Li Ling will only become more and more presumptuous, and the Xu family's situation will only become more and more dangerous, so we must come up with countermeasures. It is probably useless to start with the county government, so we have to start from a higher level.

"Xu Mo..." After another silence, Xu Ziyang finally spoke. This made everyone in the hall feel excited and looked over expectantly, and Xu Mo quickly agreed: "Dad, what are the instructions?"

"Then it is really wrong for County Magistrate Li to act like this. We have been working diligently in the county government for many years. Even if we have no credit, we always have hard work. How could we let him expel all of them? We must ask for an explanation and justice in this matter!"

This immediately attracted the support of the children. If they were really deprived of their posts, their status in the county would plummet. At that time, how could the enemies they had offended in the past let them go? Even with the Xu family, the Xu family, without the skin of a county official, their situation would be very bad.

Xu Ziyang glanced at them and then continued: "Mr. Li has been determined to do this. I am afraid that it may not be useful for us to ask for advice. Since this is the case, we can only let the superiors take action. Yang Tongzhi of Songjiang Prefecture and my Xu family have always been in good terms. As long as he finds him, there will always be a way to make Magistrate Li turn back. It is better to let you go this trip."

Everyone was even more happy when they heard this. Yes, why didn't they expect this trick? Isn't it his bosses who can deal with the county magistrate? Although Li Ling is not afraid of anyone who is showing off his power in Huating now, once the superiors really send someone to live, he can only obey the order.

After all, it is the head of the family, and it turns out that there are more ways than us!

Feeling the joy of everyone, Xu Mo was a little hesitant and did not agree immediately. It was not until his father coughed lightly and gave him a wink, that he realized and quickly responded: "Son knows, I will go to the city tomorrow."

"Well, you all have parted. I think you will be able to resume your positions in a few days and then return the debt." Xu Ziyang waved his hand again, everyone agreed quickly, and then he obediently retreated.

Xu Mo said carefully until then: "Dad, do you really plan to do this? Then Yang Tongzhi is not so easy to ask for. If he wants to take action, he may not be able to do it without thousands of taels of silver."

The Xu family has been in Huating for many years, so they naturally have their own reliance. Some people in the court don’t say it, but there are also real officials who can speak in the city. Yang Tongzhi is just that. However, their relationship with Yang Tongzhi is more of a mutual use. The Xu family gives money and Yang Tongzhi helps solve the problem. Speaking of the sudden death of Ren Magistrate, this Yang Tongzhi also made some efforts...

In Xu Mo's opinion, Yang Tongzhi's biggest problem was greed. As long as the Xu family asked him to come, he would often speak loudly. A small matter might cost thousands of taels of silver. If he wanted him to suppress the county magistrate, he would probably have to spend tens of thousands of dollars. Even if the Xu family was rich, he would feel pain if he took out so much money for nothing.

"For the future of my Xu family, this money should be spent. At worst, I can get it back later." Xu Ziyang also felt distressed, but he valued the current difficulties more.

Just after thinking about it, his anger became even more intense: "This Li Ling is ruthless and brave. He has these guys around him who are obviously ruthless. Even if Yang Tongzhi takes action, he may not be able to completely obey him, so we must be prepared for the second time!"

"Second hand preparation? What does dad mean?"

"The officialdom is a one-handed move, and the martial arts world is also a one-handed move. Didn't someone in the Dajiang Gang fall into his hands? I don't know if they know about this. They must bring information to them and spend money to help us solve this disaster!" Xu Ziyang said with murderous aura in his eyes. This time, Li Ling's blow to the Xu family was really too big, which made him want to pull out the thorn in his eyes immediately.

This surprised Xu Mo even more: "Dad, isn't this too risky? Didn't you blame Xu Kun for doing this on that day?"

"One time and another time, we really didn't expect that Li Ling would dare to be so arrogant. Moreover, they were too arrogant and underestimated Li Ling's strength. This time, we should have asked Dajiang to help us eliminate this person, but after Yang Tongzhi, if something really happened, Yang Tongzhi could still cover up for us."

His father was indeed very good at calculating. He spent a portion of money but wanted Yang Tongzhi to help him do two things. Because once Yang Tongzhi fails to act and Li Ling is assassinated or something, he may not be able to escape the relationship and will try his best to conceal it.

Anyway, the prefect has just arrived recently, and everything depends on old officials like him. It is difficult for Yang Tongzhi to do something to hide some truths.

"Son understand." Xu Mo looked at his father in awe. His father hadn't taken much action in recent years, and this time he was so cruel. As expected, the old saying is good, and the old man is still so spicy.

Xu Ziyang just laughed. If the other party hadn't been too aggressive, he wouldn't have made such a bad decision. You should know that whether Yang Tongzhi or Dajiang Gang would have to pay a huge price to do things. This time, I'm afraid that 20,000 to 30,000 taels of silver would have to be used, which would almost be worth half the income of the entire Xu family in the next year.

Then, he said again: "By the way, let me leave this matter to Xu Kun. He should have some contact with the Dajiang Gang."

"Uh... Dad, Xu Kun has long left Huating to avoid the limelight, but now he can't find him." Xu Mo hurriedly reminded, this was still what his father ordered.

Xu Ziyang then remembered this incident. The continuous changes made the old man throw this out. After only a moment of pondering, he said, "Then let Xu Chen go this trip. He is a martial arts practitioner and should talk to people in the world."

Xu Ziyang has three sons, Xu Mo is calm and Xu Kun is irritable, but Xu Chen, because he was born as a concubine, has never been valued, so he has to be much lower-key. But as the Xu family, when such a big thing happened in his family, he naturally had no choice but to take the order and leave.

Compared to Xu Mo who was about to go to the capital city, Xu Chen, who received the instructions, seemed more anxious. In the evening, he hurriedly left the Xu family and left Huating County.

This is not because Xu Ziyang urged him to do the job quickly, but because of his own intention. Xu Chen has always wanted to show his performance at home for many years so that he can have a certain say in the entire family. However, he had never had the opportunity before, and he didn't even have a job as a county government office. Now that he finally has such an opportunity to show up, he naturally dare not delay and must do the job well.

As a martial arts practitioner, although he was not very powerful, he had a few friends in the world. After leaving the city, he found out that the Dajiang Gang was at a stronghold outside the city. It is said that it was the residence of the Jiang Gui, the dowry leader of the Red-Eyed Flying Eagle.

Sure enough, compared to Xu Mao and the others who had no choice but to find people by spending money, Xu Chen, a half-people in the martial arts world, was much more efficient. By the time he was nearly the second day, he had arrived at this small village by the water.
