Another hour passed, and the sun was already in the sky.

The closed door of the public room finally opened with a creaking sound. Xu Gong walked out in a daze, not paying attention to everything around him. He actually walked tens of thousands of times in this aisle that he had walked tens of thousands of times in the past ten years. Even if he closed his eyes late at night, he would not have any discomfort. He staggered and almost fell down. If someone hadn't helped him in time.

The one who helped him was Xu Sen. He had been paced back and forth in the public room for more than half an hour. Seeing Xu Gong come out, he quickly greeted him, but the boss and friend had no reaction at all. He turned a blind eye and turned a blind eye, and he looked completely out of his mind.

This surprised Xu Sen even more. While supporting the other party, he quickly asked: "Mr. Xu, what's wrong?"

It was not until this time that Xu Gong really came to his senses. Then when he heard Xu Sen's inquiry, he shocked his body and said stutteringly: "No... nothing..."

Of course Xu Sen didn't believe it, but it was not easy to ask in detail at this time, so he said, "My uncle has something to discuss with Lord Xu, so please come over and see you quickly."

"Is that? I understand." After being stunned, Xu Gong responded casually, then wiped the other party with his body, walked out quickly, looking as if he was escaping something. This made Xu Sen feel even more and more strange, so he thought about chasing him and inquiring again. Unexpectedly, Li Ling's voice came from the room: "Xu Dianli, please come in and speak."

Xu Sen's actions immediately stopped, agreed quietly, and then entered the public housing. Unlike other Xu family members who did not take these county officials seriously, he was quite respectful to these superior officials on the surface: "What are the instructions for the county magistrate?"

Li Ling looked at the person in front of him for a moment. The man looked cautious in his manner and expression. It was indeed very different from the other Xu family's children. It was rare. But soon he came back to his senses and smiled: "I want to bother Xu Dianli, you should send orders to everyone in the yamen. He said that in half an hour, I would gather in the lobby and say something important to them, so that they can all be present and not delayed. Otherwise, the consequences will be borne by yourself."

Hearing the last four words, a hint of uneasiness flashed through Xu Sen's heart. The new county magistrate was much tougher and more proactive than his uncle and the others wanted before, so it was difficult to deal with it now. However, this idea was only a short moment, and he immediately bowed and then retreated with Li Ling's nod.

It was not until someone else left that Li Moyun turned around and entered the house. After closing the door with his backhand, he looked at Li Ling with a worried look: "Young Master, isn't it a bit too urgent to do this?"

"No, as the saying goes, soldiers are very fast. If you drag them down, they will be unfavorable to me. I just want to catch them off guard and let them know that my county magistrate is completely different from those in the past." Li Ling looked determined, but then he revealed his uneasiness, "You can follow me at that time and let Lao Wan come back quickly, and there is no need to stare at the inn."

"Yes, I'll call him back now." Li Moyun quickly agreed and left quickly.

Li Ling was still sitting behind the desk, looking at the empty inside and outside, and breathed out. There were still few people around him, but it didn't matter, and the help would arrive soon. Xu Sen was quite efficient in doing things. In a short while, he conveyed the intention of Li Ling to summon everyone to the lobby to obey orders. For a moment, everyone in the county government made different opinions and kept guessing what the new county magistrate was going to do, but were he planning to establish his authority and ignite the fire?

The new official took office for three times, which was the officialdom they were familiar with. However, these treacherous old officials who were backing big trees did not think that Li Ling could do anything. After all, the county government is almost a solid piece of iron. Can he still make a fortune by just one county magistrate?

Although he didn't agree, this was the first time that the new county magistrate wanted to meet all the officials after the arrival of the new county magistrate, and it was hard for everyone to disguise his face. So even though this was the time for lunch, the county government still arrived all over, and came to the magnificent lobby in a stuck time.

This county government has its own regulations. Generally speaking, officials and others handle official duties in the second hall, and the same is true when investigating and asking questions. Only some particularly important or special moments, such as the monthly yard, or a celebration, or when a public trial and re-indictment, will they gather in the lobby. This actually sounds a bit similar to the imperial court meeting, where the weapons are in the imperial palace meeting.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Ling slowly entered the lobby under the gaze of many subordinate officials. He followed Li Moyun and Wan Shenji on both sides. After he sat down at the long case, the two naturally stood beside each other, and looked back and forth like him.

This time, the county yamen were all present. From two assistant officials to the history of the clerks who had no sense of existence, to the sixth house clerks and three squads of servants, there were more than a hundred people. Not only did the lobby be filled, but many yamen runners could only stand outside the door.

After hesitating for a moment, the county magistrate Wen Xuan bowed and asked, "I don't know what instructions did the county master suddenly summon the officials and others?"

"I asked you to wait for me to come, of course I have important instructions." Although Li Ling had a smile on his face, there was no smile in his eyes. Instead, he was very serious. "In the past two days, I have read a lot of books and books left in the yamen, but I have really found a lot of problems."

Xu Sen's heart suddenly became thwarted. Sure enough, the county magistrate was not simple. He actually checked the accounts so quickly and found problems?

But Xu Wang hummed and immediately muttered: "Did you check it wrong by sir..."

"I know if there is any problem, and you all know it in your heart, so don't cheat when you become a Mingren." Li Ling's face darkened, and suddenly shouted, suppressing Xu Wang who was about to refute, "Also, in the lobby, I can't let you, a minor official interrupt? Are there any rules in this yamen? County Magistrate Wen, I heard that you are in charge of the criminal laws of the yamen. How should you punish this?"

Wen Xuan looked surprised. County Magistrate Li is really a great official power. He thought this was where, and did he really think that he could punish the people of the Xu family by catching a little mistake? But everyone asked, and he didn't want to reply. Then he replied in a disdainful sneer from Xu Wang and others: "Stop up, my county government has always spoken freely in the past. Today, Xu Dianli is used to it and offends."

"Is that so? It seems that County Magistrate Xu has been really indulging you over the years, so he has to change it. In this way, no matter how high and low, how can I convince the public? Forget this time, but next time, I will be severely punished!" Li Ling was considered to be a good person, nodding, as if he wanted to expose this matter.

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, a sneer came from below. His eyes turned and fell on Xu Wang again: "Xu Wang, why are you laughing at?"

"Mr. Li is really so majestic. I just find it interesting." Xu Wang was not afraid at all, and looked at Li Ling directly. "The rules of this county government cannot be changed by just changing them. If you don't believe it, please ask everyone, I think it's better to speak freely!"

His words immediately attracted a group of officials to whisper. These people were originally following the leaders of the Xu Fang family. As for the county magistrate, they could only take a moment later. They respected the authority of the official and were still used to you!

This reaction fell into the eyes of Wen County Magistrate and Chief Archman of Tian, ​​but they sighed. Of course, they understood what Li Ling wanted to do, but Huating County was really not the ones who could be the winner, and they didn't even have any lip service like others. This taste really didn't feel good.

Fortunately, they have become accustomed to it. As for County Magistrate Li, he must have admitted and used to it after suffering some losses and losing face for a while.

When the two turned to look at Li Ling, they found that the young county magistrate did not change his expression or gritted his teeth as they thought. Instead, the corners of his mouth curled up, and there was a smile, but there was a hint of chill in his eyes: "Xu Wang, it seems that you did not listen to the warnings that I just said, there is nothing I can do. I can tolerate my subordinates to make mistakes, but first of all, know the mistakes. Since you can't even know the mistakes, there is no need to stay in the county government office anymore, take him down, take him down, and take him as a thirty-year-old, and take him as a statutory official, and you will not be able to use it anymore!"

Li Ling's sudden shout made all the subordinates present stunned. Xu Wang was even more shocked and looked at Li Ling in disbelief. He was going to break himself up because of this little thing?

This shocked him and felt anger. Xu Mao was rebelled for no reason before, but now he used this trick to deal with him? He really thought he could do whatever he wanted as a county magistrate? It was ridiculous!

With anger in his heart, Xu Wang immediately raised his head and sneered: "Mr. Li is so insane, please forgive me for not being able to obey!" Not only did he change his title, he simply pointed at the other party, and looked around with a proud look on his face. Of course, a yamen officer dared to come up and get him.

The officials also understood at this time, and looked at the county magistrate above indifferently. It was impossible for them to obey orders, so they could see how he ended. Perhaps after this, he should understand his situation and dare not make any unreasonable thoughts and try to take over the power of the county government.

Seeing this, Xu Sen and the two Assistant officials sighed in their hearts. The County Magistrate Li was ambitious and brave enough, but the situation was stronger than others, and no one could follow his orders.

Li Ling's expression froze at this moment, and the cold light in his eyes became even more intense: "What are you still standing there? Take down someone, and if you dare to resist, you will kill him!"

He was angry! But he should be just incompetent and furious, just talking big, and it was hard to achieve results.
Chapter completed!
